Chapter Fifteen
Soldier boy, made of clay
Now an empty shell
Twenty one, only son
But he served us well
- Metallica ‘Disposable Hero’s’
Harry climbed awkwardly into the narrow tunnel, he could feel dirt wedging itself beneath his finger nails, roots grabbed at his hair and he could smell mouldering leaves. He could hear the others coming up behind him, their breathing heavy in the confined space. Slowly he felt his limbs relax as they began moving out of the Dementors sphere of influence. They climbed and struggled through the undergrowth until finally Harry heard Sirius cry out in triumph as he reached the entrance to the shack.Sirius turned after calling to the others, he gazed around at the place he had spent so much of his school years in, it was thick with dust and the bed was listing badly to one side, other than that things seemed to have remained untouched. He smiled and moved further into the room as he awaited the others to emerge. Suddenly he felt all the hackles stand up on the back of his neck, he froze, breath catching in his throat as his eyes widened. A shadow moved within the shadows that surrounded the only window. Sirius lifted his wand too late and it went soaring out of his fingers to clatter at the other side of the room, he let out a sharp breath and took a quick step backwards, almost stumbling on the hem of his cloak. There was the soft sound of familiar laughter and then a bright flash of light as he was hoisted into the air, unable to warn the others as the breath left him in a rush.
Sirius hung upside down, helpless to prevent his friends from crawling out of the secret entrance after him. His eyes were wide in his face as first James, then Remus appeared. He couldn’t speak, he had been silenced by magic and he felt his uselessness overwhelm him. James and Remus immediately realised something was wrong, Remus turned and with the reflexes of a cat he sealed the entrance with a silent spell. Sirius relaxed only a little, they were still in grave danger. James spotted the half-concealed figure and raised his wand threateningly. “Whoever you are show yourself!” He commanded and was answered by a soft, feminine chuckle.
“Welcome, Potter.” A tall, beautiful woman emerged from the shadows, her robes dragging across the floor behind her. She held both her own wand and Sirius’ in her hand and tapped them lightly against one palm. Her eyes sparkled with a feverish joy as she inspected her prizes. “Ah, the Dark Lord is sure to reward me for bringing him such precious gifts!” She muttered and her eyes flicked to Sirius. “He has only requested that he deal with Potter himself, I have been given the great pleasure of finally destroying my dear cousin and Greyback will dispose of the wolf.” She tittered and rocked back on her heels. Sirius glared at her but it was about as effective as if he had threatened her with a flobber worm.
“Bella, hurry and finish this. The Dark Lord is expecting us to bring Potter to him…alive, preferably.” A man moved into the room and glanced at the cornered Marauder’s, he smirked at James and Remus’ feeble attempts at threats.
“Oh but Lucius, I want to play.”
“You can play later, I’m sure the Dark Lord wouldn’t begrudge you the time for that. We must return to the mansion.”
Bellatrix shook her head. “No. We do this now.” She grinned, an expression that warped her beauty and made her into something not quite human. Lucius Malfoy sighed softly and waved a hand in acknowledgement, they would get nowhere if he denied her this.
James tried to move but found he was frozen to the spot, only now could he feel the faint magical trace of the trap they had so willingly walked into. He glanced to his left and saw Remus struggling with invisible bonds, Sirius hung where Bella had put him with his hair hanging down and brushing the dusty floor.
“The last of the resistance.” Bellatrix said with sadistic glee, her eyes glittered behind her thick hair. “I’m going to enjoy hearing you scream. When the Dark Lord hangs your rotting corpses up for the world to see everyone will finally know who their true master is, who the most powerful wizard of all time is and who they should all worship. This is the end of your little rebellion.”
“Don’t be so sure of that, Bella!” Sirius hissed, she turned her face to him and her expression darkened. “Don’t you think we would have put in place some safeguards? You’re an idiot who always underestimates your opponents!”
James sent Sirius a warning glance but his friend couldn’t see him. Sirius watched his cousin move towards him, her fingers tangled in his hair and she yanked his head around roughly. Her wand traced the line of his jaw and her smirk was full of satisfaction. “Ah, so it’s true what they’re saying…that the Order has found new allies…” She chuckled and watched Sirius wince as her wand dug painfully into his exposed throat. “Who is it, Sirius? Who has mistakenly decided to work against the New World Order? Tell me who it is and I will make your death a little less painful.” She whispered in his ear as if speaking sweet nothings to a lover. “Come now, remember the blood that runs through these veins, remember what you were raised to be…sweet little cousin of mine.”
Sirius pulled himself away in disgust, he growled at her and spat in her face. “Fuck you! Fuck you and everything you stand for your bitch!”
Bella’s eyes widened then narrowed in fury, she wiped the spittle from her cheek before whipping her wand in a sharp downward motion. Sirius yelped and blood spattered the wooden floor. “You little shit! You really think that the Dark Lord will lose? Nothing can stand up to him, not now, not ever! He has won! You could have been right with us in our victory but you chose the path of destruction, I gave you a chance, Sirius…and you threw it away!” Her voice rose to an insane scream. “CRUCIO!”
Harry froze when Sirius’ scream shattered the quiet night air. He had been hammering on an invisible barrier, desperately trying to break through to get to his friends and father. His eyes widened behind his dirty glasses and as he was about to begin banging again a voice entered his head, a familiar, sneering voice.
You’re acting like a stupid child, Potter! Get a grip on your emotions and use your head!
Snape’s venom filled voice had an instantaneous effect on Harry, he stilled and took a deep, shuddering breath. Slowly he closed his eyes and set his mind to working out his problem. He didn’t concern himself with the fact that his own mind was now taking on the voices from his past, he concentrated instead on a way to get into the shack and save those trapped within.
