A/N: I lied 🤪

"Expelliarmus!" Sirius said, pointing Y/N's wand at them. Harry, Hermione and Ron's wands shot out of their hands, high in the air, and Sirius caught them. Then he took a step closer. His eyes were fixed on Harry. "I thought you'd come and help your friend," he said . "Your father would have done the same for me. Brave of you not to run for a teacher. I'm grateful...it will make everything much easier..."

A boiling hatred erupted in Harry's chest. he started forward, but there was a sudden movement on either side of him and two pairs of hands grabbed him and held him back..."No, Harry!" Hermione gasped in a petrified whisper.

Ron, however, spoke to Sirius. "If you want to kill Harry, you'll have to kill us too!" he said fiercely taking a step forward and wincing in from the sprained ankle he had gotten from the Whomping Willow attack, he swayed slightly as he spoke.

Sirius looked at Ron with pity, seeing him hurt. "Lie down," he said quietly to Ron. "You will damage that leg even more."

"Did you hear me!?" Ron said weakly, though he was clinging painfully to Harry "You'll have to kill all of us!"

"There'll be only one murder here tonight," said Sirius, and his grin widened.

"What?" Y/N said confusedly, so much for being innocent.

"Why's that?" Harry spat, trying to wrench himself free of Ron, and Hermione. "Didn't care last time, did you? Didn't mind slaughtering all those Muggles to get at Pettigrew...What's the matter, gone soft in Azkaban?"

"Harry!" Hermione whimpered. "Be quiet!"

"HE KILLED MY MUM AND DAD!" Harry shouted, and with a huge effort he broke free of Hermione's and Ron's restraint and lunged forward one of Harry's hands wrapped over Sirius'  wrist, forcing the wands away and the knuckles of Harry's other hand collided with the side of Sirius' face and they fell, into the wall.

Y/N gasped, watching in horror. Hermione was screaming; Ron was yelling; there was a blinding flash as the wands in Sirius' hand sent a jet of sparks into the air that missed Harry's face by inches; Harry clung on, his other hand punching every part of Sirius that it could find.

Sirius' free hand had found Harry's throat "No," he said, "I've waited too long —"The fingers tightened.

Then Hermione's foot swing out of nowhere. Sirius let go of Harry with a grunt of pain. Ron had thrown himself on Sirius' wand hand and Harry saw his own wand rolling across the floor; he threw himself toward it but "Argh!"Crookshanks had joined, both sets of front claws had sunk themselves deep into Harry's arm; Harry threw him off, but Crookshanks now darted toward Harry's wand —"NO YOU DON'T!" Shouted Harry, and he aimed a kick at Crookshanks that made the cat leap aside, —"Don't kick him!" Y/N said while everything happened quickly.

Harry snatched up his wand and turned —"Get out of the way!" he shouted at Ron and Hermione. They didn't need telling twice. Hermione scrambled aside, snatching up her and Ron's wands. Ron crawled to the four-poster bed and collapsed onto it, panting, his white face now tinged with green, both hands clutching his leg.

Sirius was sprawled at the bottom of the wall. His chest rose and fell rapidly as he watched Harry walking closer, his wand pointing straight at his heart.

"Are you going to kill me, Harry?" he whispered. Harry stopped right above him, his wand still pointing at his chest, looking down at him. A deep bruise was forming around Sirius' eye.
