As the World Caves In

Skye

      I look at the others they don't look so good, they all got hurt in some way. "Ginny are you okay?" Harry asks her worried. "Yeah, I'm fine, it's just sprained" she answers but as she tries taking another step forward she nearly collapses fortunately I grab her waist to support her. "Yeah she's not fine" I respond with my shoulder twiching as an aftermath of the torture curse. "And are you?" Harry asks. "Yeah I am but what's with Ron?" I ask curiously. "Harry these things have actual brains in them! Can you believe it? BRAINS!" Ron speaks nonsense then uses the accio spell to get a brain a glass in his hands. "He got hit by some weird spell he's been like this since"Luna responds.We hear noise and realize that the death eaters caught up to us so we start running again but they catch us this time. "Tag is over Potter. Now, be a good boy and hand it over" Lucius say to Harry while the other death eaters point their wands at us. "I- I'll give it to you if you let my friends go" Harry offers. "Why would we make a deal with you? You're alone and there's 10 of us. Or didn't Dumbledore teach you how to count?" Lucius ask with a malicious tone. "He's not alone.." Neville says fatigued as he comes down the stairs. "Neville don't! Go back!" Harry shouts but a death eater comes behind Neville and pins his arms to the boys sides making him writhe. "Is that Longbottom? Your grandmother is used to not having any family so it'll be fine when we kill you" Lucius says as he points his wand at him. "Longbottom? I had a pleasant talk with your parents" Bellatrix's sunked face lightens up with a smile. "I know!" Neville shouts out of pain. "Let's see if he can take torture better than his parents.. unless Potter doesn't give us the prophecy." Bella said with an elated excitement on her face. "Don't give it to her Harry!" Neville advises him. Bellatrix steps closer to Neville, points her wand at him and says "Crucio" the boy cried out, I can imagine the pain he's in, I wanna help him so I step out of the shadows but a death eater gets behind me and holds my hands down. Somehow I feel like I know this man, his grip is familiar, could it be..? I turn my head around and see my father standing there but because I looked he points his wand at my neck which makes me tremble in fear. "Hand over the prophecy or your little friend will die!"says the woman calmly and Harry obeys her, Lucius appears in front of Harry without hesitation to take it from him but in that moment five people show up on the top of the stairs. They start throwing curses at the death eaters. I recognize three of them: Sirius, Lupin and Moody. My father lets go off me to parry a curse that was coming towards him. I quickly get away from him and set Neville free. The death eaters were taken aback from the surprising entrance of the strangers. After Neville's safe and sound one of the death eaters attacks me so I crack my neck and draw my wand out ready to fight. "Stupefy! Confringo!" I throw curses at him which makes his stupid mask fall off and I can clearl see that I'm fighting my father. That puts a smile on my face as I say "Crucio!" unfortunately he defends himself but I think I got people's attention because I said one of the unforgivable curses. "We have to go!" Hermione says directed at me as she looks at my face concerned. The disguise spell must be wearing off we really have to go then. I start going up the stairs to help Hermione carry Ginny when we hear a scream. Harry's scream. I look over and see Sirius' body getting sucked into the 'black curtain'. Lupin holds Harry down but he breaks free and goes after Bellatrix, she was probably the one that killed Sirius. Lupin comes up to us after the death eaters are gone to make sure we're okay. "Ms. Thorn? I didn't think I'd see you here" he says to me surprised but appreciatively. "Hello Professor" I say to him shyly. "Shoudn't we go after Harry?" Hermione asks. "Dumbledore's here, he'll be fine. Let's get you all back to school." Lupin responds with a warm smile. "Hi I'm Tonks I don't think we've met" says one of the strangers I didn't recognize. She seems very sweet though. I shake her hand "I'm Skye" I greet her. "Why wasn't she at the Order's Christmas party with the others?" she asks. "The Order?" I ask puzzled. "Listen Skye, I'll tell you all about it if I can" Hermione says as he looks at Remus to give her permission. Lupin nods then says "Well then let's get out of here" Tonks says as she grabs my arm and apparates me out.

    When I open my eyes we're in Hogsmeade, in Three Broomsticks actually. "Can someone tell me what's going on?" I ask confused when everyone sat down. They look at each other trying to decide who should tell me and they pick Ginny. "Okay so there's the Order of the Phoenix it's a secret organisation founded by Dumbledore to fight You-Know-Who and his folowers and well Tonks, Lupin, Kingsley, Moody are a part of it. Sirius was too..." she said slowly, her voice unsteady. "He was also Harry's godfather and he didn't kill anyone" Hermione adds to clear Sirius' name. "Wait how come you didn't know all this if you're close to Harry?" Tonks asks me. "Well.. I'm a slytherin and I thought it would be better if I stayed away from them in order to protect everyone I care for." I explain. "Is that why she wasn't there on cristmas, cause she's a slytherin? Come on!" Tonks says furiously, this must be a delicate topic for her. "Nymphadora her father was there today too" Moody chimes in. "And her boyfriend's father" Mad-eye continues and I blush out of embarassment. "Also her brother's a death eater" he adds. "Okay how do you know so much about me and that's not even true!" I lash out at him. "Which part?" Ron asks cockily. "Oh shut up" I say to him as I get up and leave. I start walking back to Hogwarts when I hear Ginny "Skye!" I look back and see that even with her broken ankle she came after me. I rapidly go to her "Are you crazy?" I ask angrily. "You'll just make it worse" I worry about her so I lift her up and go back to the Three Broomsticks. "Okay who let her out?" I ask furiously. "Wow it really worked" Ron notes surprised. "Told ya" Ginny smiles at him but I can see that she's in pain. I look at him confused as I put Ginny down so she can rest. "Really? You wanted me to come back so bad you used your injured sister, great job Ron" I say sarcastically with rage. "I thought you'd be happy to see me" I hear a voice behind me and when I turn around George stands in front of me. Suddenly all my fear and anger goes away "Georgie!" I fall upon his neck and hug him tightly. "What are you doing here?" I ask him. "Wanted to check on you darling" he answers warmly. Him saying darling reminds me of the last time we were together and how we haven't talked since then. "Hey, I'm-" I start saying with an uneasy voice but George cuts me off "You don't have to say anything, we're good" he smiles at me which makes me relieved. "So it was your idea to use Ginny as bait to get me back here?" I ask him giggling to change the subject and it already feels like we're friends again.
