Chapter 43: The Prophecy

They were now standing in a large room, the ceiling extending farther than (Y/n) could see.

The room was full of shelves, each of which was in turn covered in small dusty glass orbs.

"This is it" (Y/n) thought to himself as he entered the room. "This is the room" he said, looking at the scars on his right hand, not the ones from that Umbitch, but the ones from the crystal ball.

"I'll stop it. I need to stop it." He thought, as they walked deeper into the room.

"Row ninety-seven right?" Hermione asked Harry breathlessly. "That's where Sirius is suppose to be-"

"Will be" Harry corrected her aggressively.

"Yes yes will be" she said somewhat half heartedly. "That's fifty-four" Hermione said squinting at the nearby shelf. "So that way"

"Wand out" Harry said to the others quietly. They all complied and they slowly made their way towards row ninety-seven.

They made it to row ninety-seven, and (Y/n) saw that nobody was there.

"Harry I don't think Sirius is here" (Y/n) said to Harry gently.

"He's at the end" Harry snapped at (Y/n) "you just can't see him from here!"

And Harry stormed off down the row, with the others following him tentatively. The reached the end of it, and found that it was deserted.

"Maybe here..." Harry said looking down the next row "or here..." he said half heartedly, losing hope himself.

"Hey Harry? Harry?" Ron called nervously to Harry. "Have you seen this?"

"What?" Harry asked sounding eager, obviously thinking it was something to do with Sirius.

"It's got your name on it" Ron said. Harry quickly ran towards him eagerly.

"My name?" Harry said sounding eager and moving forward to inspect it.

"What's your name doing here?" Ron asked confused. "I'm not here... None of us are"

Harry reached out to grab the orb. "Harry don't touch it!" Hermione said to him sharply.

"Why not?" Harry said defiantly, more as a statement than a question. "It has mine name on it"

"Don't Harry" Neville said worried.

"If he dies I call his glasses!" (Y/n) joked.

Harry looked at each of their faces and then reached out and wrapped his fingers around the small glass orb.

(Y/n) screamed out in pain as Harry gently lifted the orb into the air.

His screams slowly divulged into laughter. "Sorry sorry had to do that"

"(Y/n)!" Hermione said hitting his arm. "I thought... you sounded...." she stammered, her face going red.

"Aww you care" (Y/n) said planting a kiss on her cheek.

"How touching" sneered a voice from behind them. They wiped around and found themselves facing a group of people in dark robes with masks. Death eaters.

"Now then Potter, would you kindly hand it over to me" Lucius Malfoy said, a smirk on his face.

(Y/n) quickly spring to action and grabbed one of the large death eaters near him and pushed his wand to his throat, as the death eater did the same.

"Where's Sirius?" Harry demanded of them several of the death eaters laughed at this.

"I want to know where Sirius is!" Harry demanded once more.

This only caused more laughter amongst the death eaters, and a woman mock Harry. "I want to now where Sirius is"

"I know he's here!" Harry shouted "you've got him!"

"Aww the wittle baby woke up fwightened and thought what he dweamed was twue" the woman said in a mock baby voice.

"Don't do anything" Harry said to the others around him.

"Bit late for that" (Y/n) said to Harry, keeping his wand at the death eater's neck.

The woman laughed again. "You hear him! Ordering the other children around like they think of fighting."

"You don't know Potter as I do Bellatrix" Malfoy said to the woman.

"So how's life going?" (Y/n) to the death eater making small talk.

"Shut up" the death eater snarled at (Y/n).

"Wow just trying to make some small talk" he said.

"Yeah well then how's your arm" the death eater snarled, pushing his face into (Y/n)'s, and he saw that death eater was wearing an eyepatch, and (Y/n) realized who it was.

"How's the eye?" (Y/n) replied with a smirk. The death eater snarled at him and pulled his mask off, showing the eyepatch covering his eye.

(Y/n) smiled. "It suits you mate" the death eater pushed (Y/n) backwards, and (Y/n) pushed back, knocking the death eater into a shelf and causing a glass ball to fall and smash on the floor.

"Now!" Harry suddenly shouted taking (Y/n) by surprise. The others all turned in different directions and shouted "REDUCTO!"

(Y/n) having not heard the plan, simply threw the death eater into a nearby shelf while he was distracted by the chaos.

"This way Richie!" (Y/n) shouted grabbing his arm and pulling him away.

"Where are we going?" He yelled back, barely keeping up with (Y/n). Harry's going that way.

"We can't go that way" (Y/n) shouted back at Richie, running towards a different door from any of the others.

"We can't go with them" (Y/n) thought to himself "I won't allow this to happen. I swear"

He kept pulling Richie and eventually they ran through a door into a small office looking room.

"What now?" Richie asked him out of breath.

"We wait" (Y/n) said determined to keep Richie out of harms way. After all everything he had done this year was to try and protect him. To stop Richie from dying.

"Wait for what?" Richie asked confused.

"Until this is over" (Y/n) said.

"What! We can't just sit here and do nothing!" Richie said outraged. "We have to help! We have to do something!"

"NO!" (Y/n) roared at him.

"Why? Why not (Y/n)? You've been weird this whole year! You made me promise that I'd join the DA! Then you tried to stop me from coming here! What's going on (Y/n)?" Richie asked him.

(Y/n) let out a deep sigh. "Fine, fine it was going to come out at some point. Take a seat" (Y/n) said pulling out his wand, and locking the door.

He then spent a while explaining to Richie about what he had seen, how he had seen him die after following Harry into the clock room.

Richie sat silent for a few minutes after (Y/n) had finished explaining himself to Richie.

"Thank you (Y/n)" Richie said. "I get you were trying to protect me and all, but I wish you had told me sooner"

"All that matters is you're safe now, you're safe Richie" (Y/n) said pulling Richie into a tight hug.

Just then (Y/n) heard a cold voice from the doorway. A cold deadly voice. A voice full of sadistic joy. A voice that (Y/n) would never forget; a voice (Y/n) had never forgotten...
