Disclaimer: I do not on Harry Potter as much as I would like to.


Only one pair was still battling, apparently unaware of the new arrival. Harry saw Sirius duck Bellatrix's jet of red light: he was laughing at her.
"Come on, you can do better than that!" he yelled, his voice echoing around the cavernous room.
The second jet of light hit his shield charm he done, with Azkaban taking it's toll on him his reflexes surprised him.

Sirius cackled and he was so close to the veil his hair and clothes where ruffling. He stepped forward and Harry sighed in relief-
A confundus charm and a stunning spell from the heavy lidded woman hit him square in the chest and he fell forward face first onto the solid floor, red liquid on the side of his face.

Before Harry could react, Dumbledore threw a spell at the surrounding Death Eaters including Bellatrix and revived Sirius who looked around confusingly for a moment then snapped into focus-
One from the order members raced up to Neville and Harry and re lifted the curse from Neville.
"Thebs" Neville said with difficulty

"Professor Dumbledore wants you Potter and Merlin, what happened to you?" He exclaimed while supporting Neville.

Harry travelled across the battlefield watching out for any Death Eaters in the progress.
"Harry," Dumbledore started "we are going to take this Portkey back to Hogwarts"
"What about the others?"
"They are all with the Aurors who also have Portkeys" Just as he explained whirls of colours where pulled and unconcious Death Eaters remained.
"Harry!" Sirius smiled at his Godson
"Sirius!"

They felt the familiar tug by the navel and arrived in Dumbledore's circular polished wooden floor was gone from beneath his feet; the Atrium, Death Eaters and Dumbledore had all disappeared and he was flying forwards in a whirlwind of colour and sound.

Harry's knees buckled while Sirius and Dumbledore stood up, Sirius lending him a hand.
"I thought you was dead" He said with tears in his brilliant eyes and leapt into his eyes.
A picture behind him gave a particularly loud grunting snore, and a cool voice said, 'Ah ... Harry Potter ...Sirius Black'
Phineas Nigellus gave a long yawn, stretching his arms as he surveyed Harry and Sirius out of shrewd, narrow eyes.

Sirius ignored his Great Grandfather and whispered
"Let it out" and Harry sobbed his knees buckling again. Dumbledore had his back turned from Harry and Sirius. Harry was still extremely wrathful that Dumbledore kept him in the dark and just decided to speak to him a few minutes ago.

"What I think you need is a good night's sleep," Dumbledore stated, eyeing the Portrait of Phineas. "but before that," He turned on his heel, his cloak following.

Harry, I owe you an explanation,' said Dumbledore. 'An explanation of an old man's mistakes. For I see now that what I have done, and not done, with regard to you, bears all the hallmarks of the failings of age. Youth cannot know how age thinks and feels. But old men are guilty if they forget what it was to be young ... and I seem to have forgotten, lately ...'


Still stunned at what Dumbledore explained, Harry and Padfoot left Dumbledore's office wide-eyed. So that was the reason for Dumbledore keeping him in the dark? So he's saying that Voldemort may be able to witness his enemies progress?

The genial dormitory was filled with an occasional sniff from Seamus or Dean the thing missing was Ron slightly loud snores.


HE WHO MUST NOT BE NAMED RETURNS
'In a brief statement on Friday night, Minister for Magic Cornelius Fudge confirmed that He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named has returned to this country and is once more active.

'"It is with great regret that I must confirm that the wizard styling himself Lord-well, you know who I mean-is alive and among us again," said Fudge, looking tired and flustered as he addressed reporters. "It is with almost equal regret that we report the mass revolt of the dementors of Azkaban, who have shown themselves averse to continuing in the Ministry's employ. We believe the dementors are currently taking direction from Lord- Thingy.

'"We urge the magician population to remain vigilant. The Ministry is currently publishing guides to elementary home and personal defence which will be delivered free to all wizarding homes within the coming month."

'The Minister's statement was met with dismay and alarm from the wizarding community, which as recently as last Wednesday was receiving Ministry assurances that there was "no truth whatsoever in these persistent rumours that You-Know-Who is operating amongst us once more."

'Details of the events that led to the Ministry turnaround are still hazy, though it is believed that He Who Must Not Be Named and a select band of followers (known as Death Eaters) gained entry to the Ministry of Magic itself on Thursday evening.

'Albus Dumbledore, newly reinstated Headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, reinstated member of the International Confederation of Wizards and reinstated Chief Warlock of the Wizengamot, has so far been unavailable for comment. He has insisted over the past year that You-Know-Who is not dead, as was widely hoped and believed, but is recruiting followers once more for afresh attempt to seize power. Meanwhile, the "Boy Who Lived"-'

'There you are, Harry, I knew they'd drag you into it somehow,' said Hermione, looking over the top of the paper at him.

They were in the hospital wing. Harry was sitting on the end of Ron's bed and they were both listening to Hermione read the front page of the Sunday , whose ankle had been mended in a trice by Madam Pomfrey, was curled up at the foot of Hermione's bed; Neville, whose nose had likewise been returned to its normal size and shape, was in a chair between the two beds; and Luna, who had dropped in to visit, clutching the latest edition of The Quibbler, was reading the magazine upside-down and apparently not taking in a word Hermione was saying...


So here it is, it's not the most detailed but I want your review and what the next 'What If' should be.
