When the Future Visits the Past (Sirius Black)

Aftermath #25

Jetta

I've lost focus now and I'm letting James guide me as we make our way to the meeting place. I'm barely conscious at this point.

James lays me on the grass.

"What Can I do?" He asks me but he sounds super muffled and quiet

"Vulllnneeerraa ssaaaanneeennterrr" I struggle to say as I manage to recall the spell uncle harry taught James,Teddy and I years ago.

"What?" He asks. I try to repeat my self but find that I can't my mouth isn't cooperating with me. My vision starts to fade and my thoughts are all foggy.

I hear shouting as I finally pass out.

Sirius

We reach the edge of the forests and I see James shouting at Jetta to stay awake. I start to panic a bit. I look at Narcissa who didn't hesitate to rush to Jettas side.

"What happened to her?" She asks us pulling out her wand. 

"We don't know she apparated in front of us like this."

"Has she said anything?"

"N-" i start to say as James interjects "yes! She said something weird velura sanenter or something like that."

Narcissa eyes light with understanding and she gets to work leaving the two of us confused.

"What are you doing do you know how this happened?" Asks James.

"I have a suspicion, now shut up and let me work" she clips before focusing on repeating the spell again.

Jetta

I groan in pain as I try to sit up, I flop back onto my bed with a hiss as I pull on my wounds.

The door creaks open followed by two sets of footsteps. I turn my head and watch Narcissa followed by Sirius quietly make their way into the room. "I'm awake you don't have to be so quiet" I say causing Sirius to jump and Narcissa to squeak in surprise.

"How are you feeling?" Sirius rushes to my side grabbing ahold of me as carefully as possible.

"Sore" I grind out as Sirius helps me sit while Cissa fixes my pillows. As I grasp Sirius for support I notice he still smells of blood. My blood. I wipe away a smear of blood on his leather jacket, "Siri love I'm fine, go get your self cleaned up and tell the others please. I'll see you in a bit, yeah?"

"I you are sure?" He asks with conservative "Then I will leave you in Cissas care for a while" he responds with furrowed brows looking very reluctant to leave.

"Yes, go. I don't want to see my blood on you.." I smile softly giving him a nudge.

He heads to he door looking back for a moment before Narcissa shoos him out the door.

Once he door is closed, "What happened? Do I need to kill him?"

"No no no, I had to have a duel with Sev it was the only way out of the mark, hopefully he'll leave me alone for a while" I answer her before standing slowly to go wash myself properly.

"You really shouldn't move I didn't fully heal you, Severus is the only one who could completely heal you after all it is his spell" Cissa mutters grabbing my arm to hold me up helping me to the shower.

"I can do this my self thanks." I strain giving her a light push so I can shower.

"I'll be just outside call if you need help" she smiles softly before closing the door behind her.

I finally have a chance to examin the damage proper, I pull up my shirt carefully and suck in a breath as I see the bruises and scrapes across my torso I turn to look at my back in the mirror and see it's covered in swollen welts from one of Severus' stinging hexes that made it past my defence.

I finally find the courage to look at the cut from the sectum sempra, i wince at the gash along my left arm, that is gonna scar pretty bad, but at least it's a clean cut not jagged or torn, I carefully sponge around my wounds and clean up as best as possible before calling Cissa to bring me some clean clothes to change into.

Once I'm clean and back in bed Sirius comes back in bearing gifts of food and drink, I graciously accept and let him sit up beside me as I eat. I don't eat much but enough that Sirius stops trying to force feed me. I lean on his shoulder and fall asleep.
