Never Is Our Always

Come Back! 5

(Minnie pov)

The splitting headache I owned stirred me awake, I slowly open my eyes and saw a dog... that wasn't a dog!

"Ah!" I rolled away from the black dog and panted heavily, eyes wide at the blurry figure.

"What the hell are you in the forest for?" The dog said, I tilt my head.

"Snuffles?" I squint my eyes at it. "What are you... doing here?" I was dizzy.

"Getting you out of here," it wasn't a dog, it was a Man, it was Sirius.

"You can't... be here... Snuff... Snuff," I couldn't finish my words.

"Come on," he helps me stand up, "that looks gnarly." He mutters, "we need to get you out of here... pronto."

"No, no..."

Snap!

We both froze up in place, "what was that?"

"Minnie!" I heard a voice call, "Minnie! Grr, where are you?!" It was malfoy.

"Leave," I whispered desperately to Sirius, "he'll catch you, go, turn- dog, go." Sirius nods as he let me go and turned into a dog before running away as I collapse to my knees.

"There you are!" He pants, "come on, I need to get you inside."

"Don't... bother..." I wheeze out, the whole world was spinning mercilessly underneath my body. It was making me ill.

"Come on," he covers my eyes and I touch his wrist softly.

"Keep me blindfolded or I'll be sick," I told Malfoy.

"Right..." I heard him take off something, "shut your eyes." I do what I'm told, he slipped his jumper over my head and then picked me up.

"Thank you..." I reply quietly, the pain was making me sick, I couldn't stay awake.

"I'm sorry," was all I heard from Malfoy as I passed out.

I snuck Minnie into the castle and into the hospital wing, Madam Pomfrey was treating someone before her eyes landed on us.

"What in Merlins name happened?!" She shrieked.

"I dunno," I lied, well... partly lied, "I found her outside."

"Put her on that bed," I nod as I laid her down on the closest bed and slipped my jumper off her face.

"I shouldn't of said anything, I'm sorry, Alice," I whispered before leaving her to rest in the hospital bed.

I felt someone stroking my hair, it was familiar to me; I slowly open my eyes and saw the woman in white again.

"What... what is this?" I whispered as she kindly smiles, "you're supposed to be evil." The woman shook her head, then shows me her forearm.

There was nothing, no dark mark present.

"Who are you?" I ask.

"I'm you," she smiles, "I'm you, but before you became... this way," she frowns, "your leg, my leg..." we lift up out clothes at the same time.

Our dark marks were there.

"Who are you to me?" I ask.

"Who you should've been," the woman replies, "you went a different path."
