The New Beginning

Chapter 6

The wolf is standing there and I growl. It doesn't do anything, I step forward and launch at him. We circle around each other so I'm in front of Ron.

"Alexis what are you doing"

I look back at Ron and then turn to the wolf. He's gone but I watch as hermione and Harry walk through the door.

"It's a trap. He's the dog. He's an Animagus."

The door slowly opens and I see Sirius Black come out.

"If you want to kill Harry, you have to kill us too!"

"No. Only one will die tonight."

"Then it'll be you!"

He rushes over to him and pins him to the ground.

"Are you going to kill me, Harry?"

"Expelliarmus!"

Harrys wand gets thrown into the wall and we all see Remus at the doorway.

"Ah!"

He walks over to the man on the floor. He's grinning and I stand in front of the group.

"Well, well, Sirius. Looking rather ragged, aren't we?"

He's smiling at him and I feel like something is wrong.

"Finally, the flesh reflects the madness within."

"Well, you'd know all about the madness within, wouldn't you?"

He puts his wand away and helps him up. He hugs the professor and I growl at the two.

"l found him."

"I know."

"it's him."

"l understand."

"Let's kill him!"

Hermione moves closer but she's still behind me.

"No! I trusted you! And all this time, you've been his friend. He's a werewolf! That's why he's been missing classes."

"How long have you known?"

He moves closer to the group and I growl at him, I should have known, the wolf in my dream was him.

"Since Professor Snape set the essay."

"Well, Hermione. You are the brightest witch
of your age l've ever met, well besides dear Alexis here. She's been dreaming about me and she didn't even know it."

"Enough talk, Remus! Come on, let's kill him!"

"Wait!"

"l did my waiting! Twelve years of it! In Azkaban!"

"Very well. Kill him. But wait one more minute. Harry has the right to know why."

"I know why. You betrayed my parents. You're the reason they're dead!"

"No, it wasn't him. Somebody did betray your parents somebody who, until quite recently,
I believed to be dead!"

"Who was it, then?"

"Peter Pettigrew! And he's in this room! Right now! Come out, come out, Peter. Come out, come out and play!"

Snape rushes into the room and he takes Sirius' wand.

"Expelliarmus!"

Ron's rat squeezes again and I look at him.

"Vengeance is sweet. How I hoped l'd be the one to catch you."
