Part 17

We run. We throw spells at them. It's all we can do at this present moment as they've outnumbered us. 

"EXPELLIARMUS" I shout and disarm one of the death eaters, although it didn't do much as the figure picked it up again almost immediately. 

Suddenly Bellatrix runs up to me and throws a knife at me. A knife. Let's add that to the near death experiences of my life, let's just say it's getting longer everyday. 

Drowned in shocked I forget I'm in the middle of a battle, staring at the lonely knife on the ground. What was Harry thinking coming here?

"Got you!" Bellatrix says in my ear as she holds a knife around my neck. "I've always wanted to kill a Potter" She laughs showing off her wicked teeth. 

"Go to hell you hag!" I shout back making her angrier by the minute. 
"I've been there! It's actually quite nice." Bellatrix smirks nearly laughing at her own joke.  

"Stupefy!" Harry shouts causing Bellatrix to fly backwards onto the hard floor. Thank merlin for Harry. 

He simply nods and we go back to fighting the bit out for Sirius, even though I'm still not entirely sure they actually have him anymore...

Time to make a run for it. Harry and I run through the corridors as fast as we could trying to get out of this mess we got ourselves into. 

Suddenly, we're all in the middle again running into each other. "Shit" I whisper as I see a death eater flying at us swiftly, gaining ground until Ginny Weasley brings out her wand and shouts "REDUCTO" making the death eater fall to the ground. 

We all stare in shock as the crystal balls start falling off the shelf onto the ground, creating a mirror effect. They start crashing down faster and faster every second and we finally realise it's time to go. 

We run as fast as we can trying to get back to the door we came from.

"They're getting closer!" I shout to Harry and the group tries to run faster than we ever have before. God is this a nightmare, I want to wake up. 

We all swiftly turn a corner and finally we make it to the door, jumping through it not realising how far it dropped down., 

"Give me the crystal Harry" Lucius appears from the dark corner reaching a hand out to my brother once again. Out of no-where I'm grabbed by one of the taller death eaters back into a corner. 

I try to escape but to no avail. The death eater hold my arms firmly to make sure I can't move a muscle. 

"Don't give it to him Harry!" I shout across the odd looking room, but after I'm met with a hand over my mouth. 

"What are you doing here?" The death eater whispers lowly into my ear. 

"Mattheo?" I ask quietly still trying to focus on the scene unfolding before me, though it interests me finding Mattheo here even though I knew he would be...

"I told you to stay in the castle Aria" He sternly whispers in my ear, making a shiver appear up my spine. God he's infuriating.

"I had to help my brother Riddle" I roll my eyes not liking his tone. I focus back on the scene and Sirius has appeared behind Lucius and I'm not sure the other death eaters have noticed. 

"Get away from my godson" He looks at Lucius before throwing a punch at his bleach blonde face. 

Then all chaos occurs death eaters flying everywhere, spells being thrown about and then me getting dragged into a dark corner by Mattheo. Why can't he just let me help my brother?!

"Mattheo let me go!" I try to shout but he puts a hand over my mouth again, I absolutely hate this man.

"Promise me you'll get out of here when you can. You can't stay here" Mattheo says taking off his mask and staring into my eyes which made me melt a bit but then I realise he's trying to kill my brother and the hatred comes flooding back. 

"I can't do that. I'm not leaving my brother again" I deny him and anger returns to his face. 

"Why can't you just do what I ask you to?" He says, the anger coming out in every single word. 

"Because you can't tell me what to do" I roll my eyes turning on my heel to go help my brother fight off the death eaters. When I return Sirius and Harry are fighting Lucius Malfoy in the middle of the room, I look around me and see Bellatrix ready to shoot a spell directly at Sirius and Harry. 

"AVARA KEVADA" She shouts and I immediately try to run towards the middle screaming "HARRY SIRIUS WATCH OUT" 

But I was too late. The spell hit Sirius in his chest and everything stops suddenly, everyone watches Harry and Sirius. 

It seemed like it went in slow motion. Sirius dying, Harry screaming and crying and Remus trying to hold him back. 

I didn't even notice that a tear had came down my face because of Harry's reaction...
