[HP][SBSS]Somewhere In Times

They saw the flames in the school castle as soon as they set foot in Hogsmeade.

Sirius squeezed Snape's hand lightly, but his companion didn't appreciate it - Snape's face was still pale, it seemed that the past few days in the dungeon had drained his blood.The bloodstains on his body were injured by magic, which made them unable to heal completely in a short time. The black-haired man bent down with difficulty and radiated pain-relieving spells on his legs with his wand. Seeing this, Sirius quickly took off his scarf Next, wrap Snape's injured leg.

"Mind yourself, Black." Snape lifted his face slightly, and suddenly his black eyes met Sirius's. "Do you know you're going to die?"

Hearing these words, there was no strange look on Sirius' face.

"They want to completely defeat the Order of the Phoenix. In addition to killing your great godson, they also have to kill you, the secret keeper of the Order of the Phoenix. Of course, for the DarkLord, you all have to die, but you are the first to bear the brunt. They will Go out of their way to find you in the crowd and kill you. Black."

"And then?" Sirius asked, expertly tying the scarf into a knot, lighting his wand to inspect the rest of Snape's wounds, quickly extinguishing the cluster of light, straightening up, and surveying his surroundings alertly and expertly. , and put on the hood—he was still wearing the clothes he had worn from the previous operation, his cheeks sunk in the darkness created by the hood.

Snape raised one eyebrow. He had never seen SiriusBlack like this, SiriusBlack like this... not frizzy.

Even, from Severus Snape's point of view, Sirius Black looked like a full Slytherin at the moment.

So he pursed his lips and took back what he said later.The night was pure black, only the place where the road was covered with water occasionally reflected a few lights because of the ice, until they walked along the darkness to the school boundary, both of them were very quiet. Snape didn't tell Sirius to hide, and Sirius didn't tell Snape not to fight wounded.They all knew very well in their hearts that this was not a battle for survival.There is no need for any conversation, at this moment, their hearts are connected.

"We have to find Remus, he and I were put together when planning the operation," Sirius said as he was about to step into the school.They were hiding behind a raised rock - or, rather, a section of wall that had been blown up - and just now they had witnessed the horrific sight of a horde of giant spiders marching into the school. "He's in the castle, protecting the students." Several firelights illuminated Sirius' face, the screams of curses and the shouts of people were close at hand, and the dementors clouded the sky overhead. Sirius raised his hand and helped Snape put the hood back on.

"Are you ready?" Sirius gripped his wand tightly. It took him almost 40 years to stand shoulder to shoulder with the man he'd dreamed of since he was 11 years old. Then he turned to look at Snape, who looked back at him. , nodded imperceptibly.

The battlefield in front of them was like a sea of ​​flames, two pairs of leather boots stepped on the scorched grass, a faint spark shot up from the ashes, and landed on the corner of Sirius' robe.

"Are all the kids in?" Kingsley asked, struggling to speak as his right cheek was scarred by the spell.

"All the ones I've found that are still alive have come in." Remus said solemnly: "Tonks brought them all back to Gryffindor Tower in a unified way, and there are still many scattered outside."

"Merlin! We can't let them all be together, the Death Eaters' targets are so concentrated, it's too dangerous!"

"God, how could I have overlooked this." Remus patted his forehead with the heel of his palm. "Kingsley, hurry up and find Tonks, and arrange the children in several different places, and I will guard here."

"You've been on guard for so long, let me do it." Kingsley pushed Remus into the castle.

"I'm not tired." Remus pushed Kingsley's hand off his shoulder. "Besides, I have to stay here and wait for Sirius and the others." Remus said vaguely, the fate of the two people was uncertain, and he didn't know how much it was possible to wait for them.

"Then we'll be here for you in a moment," Kingsley said.

"Okay." Remus wiped the corner of his bleeding mouth and tried to smile.

Kingsley ran back to Gryffindor Tower as fast as he could, and ran into a group of chattering children, huddled together in colorful scarves, standing and sitting, each clutching his wand.

"Hey, kid." After looking around and seeing Tonks nowhere to be seen, Kingsley knelt down and patted the head of a boy beside him. "Why are all the boys here? Where are the girls?"

"We had the girls hide in the common room," puffed out the Hufflepuff boy, a lightly freckled, small man who looked like he was in first or second grade. "There was a fire in there. ’” he said, a little proudly.

Kingsley suddenly felt a lot more at ease in his heart. He smiled at the boy and patted him on the shoulder: "You look like a man." He praised, but felt the boy's body trembling slightly.After all, they are children, although they can give the girls a warmer and safer place, but they are still young, and these things are still too heavy to bear.

"Don't be afraid." The strength in his hands increased, and then he stood up, squeezed through groups of children sitting on the ground, and arrived at the door of the common room. The door was open, and there was no password anymore. The fat lady was squatting He said, carefully comforting a shivering child leaning against the wall.

"Tonks!" Kingsley saw Tonks the moment she stepped through the door, her hair had turned fiery red. "Kingsley! Where's Remus? You're not with him?" Tonks' expression was flustered, her husband's safety had been on her mind for the past few hours when they were not together.

"Don't worry, he's fine." Kingsley lowered his hands, signaling Tonks to lower his voice, and several female students were already looking at them anxiously.

"Listen, I just came back from Remus," Kingsley said. "It's too dangerous to gather students together. If the Death Eaters attack Gryffindor Tower, all the students will be in their pocket." thing."

"What should I do?"

"We don't have much time. The Gryffindor tower is next to the Ravenclaw lounge. You continue to protect some students here, and I will take some of them there first."

"Okay." Tonks nodded, "Wait a minute!" She pressed Kingsley's leg, which was about to get up: "Where are Sirius and Severus? Any news?"

Kingsley watched her for two long seconds in silence before he took her hand and stood up. "Don't worry, there will be news." He said, then turned his head and raised his voice: "Girls, sit on the steps outside the lounge."

Kingsley stood on the ledge, with a Nearly Headless Nick floating beside him and hundreds of eyes staring at him below. "Boys," he said aloud, "now that you're all gathered together, the Death Eaters are going to be big targets when they attack Gryffindor Tower, so now," he turned to look at Nick, and the Ghost nodded, then took his time. Floating into the mid-air of the crowd, "Students behind Nick, follow Tonks to the Ravenclaw lounge, the rest of the kids stay here, well, now, start moving."

There was a commotion in the crowd, and then gradually quieted down, but no one moved.

"We don't have much time, hurry up, now, immediately!" Kingsley urged anxiously.

"We don't want to be separated." A voice suddenly sounded, it was a senior girl, accompanied by several echoes.

"If you're all together, then the Death Eaters are too big a target," Kingsley explained again.

"Why must we be the target? We can also fight!" This time it was a boy's voice. "Yeah! We are not targets, we are fighters." The boy standing beside him went on to say, "If fighters gather together, wouldn't they be stronger?!"

"Yes!" "That's right!" "It will be stronger!" The children chirped in response.

Kingsley didn't speak.

A wand was raised. "We have wands, too." Another child's voice came from the crowd, accompanied by more and louder echoes.Immediately afterwards—"Look!" A thin but loud voice shouted, it was the Hufflepuff junior boy who had spoken to Kingsley just now, and he cast a spell, not very hard, and hit a plaster statue at Kingsley's feet .

The sound of broken stones seemed to envelop all the students quickly like a great encouragement. They excitedly raised their wands one by one, boys, girls, sandalwood, oak, holly, in this small open space , the candlelight illuminated each of their generous and happy faces, and also illuminated Kingsley's gradually reddened eye sockets.In the eyes of the children and the loud shouts, Kingsley knew that he was wrong. In the face of war, these children were no longer objects to be protected. Each of them was a hand holding a wand, and an arm supporting the castle— —

They are an army.

The army does not need to be protected.

"Okay," Kingsley said, nodding, and watched the children hug each other happily.That's right, that's it.He thought excitedly, everyone likes to be brave and die generously, this is fighting.

"Sirius!" Tonks' scream distracted Kingsley, who hurried forward and saw Sirius and Snape walking quickly towards him and Tonks from the corridor at the back of the tower.

"Great!" Kingsley laughed and ran forward to hug Sirius, "You did it! You rescued Severus! I knew...I knew you..." He was a little incoherent with excitement. "Is Severus badly hurt?"

Snape shook his head monotonously. "I took care of him briefly." Sirius said, "There is nothing serious, but he has been tortured for several days, his body is very weak, and there are still many wounds that have not fully healed."

"Where's Remus? Didn't you see him?" Tonks asked.

"No?" Sirius shook his head. "Where is he?"

"He's on the east side. He's clearing out the enemies at the entrance of the tower while meeting you." Tonks excitedly pointed to the east direction, staring at Sirius: "Didn't you see him?"

"We came up from the rear entrance because..." Sirius said nervously. "Because...the entrance to the east tower has completely collapsed."

After a few seconds of silence, Tonks' face completely changed, and her hair also changed from fiery red to withered yellow. "Kingsley, you stay here." Sirius said, turning around, only to find that Snape was already heading for the stairs on the east side, and he hurried after him, with Tonks right behind him.

"Be careful," Sirius told Snape, trying to swallow the "don't go" that he was about to say.

"Mind yourself," Snape said.Still saying the same thing, Sirius laughed when he heard it, but the smile didn't last long. When they first went down to the second floor, they found that all the walls of Gryffindor Tower had collapsed from the second floor down, and huge boulders were stacked in a mess on the castle grounds. forward.

"Remus!" Tonks yelled and tried to rush downstairs, but Snape grabbed him.

"Going straight out of such an open place just means you want to be a living target," Snape said, eyeing the crumbling walls.

"Then what?" Tonks' voice was tearful. "I must find him!"

"Look! Is that Remus?" Sirius yelled from the window, and Tonks broke free from Snape's hand and ran over.A man about Remus' stature was fighting a Death Eater in the clearing in front of the oak trees by the lake, but with his back to the castle they couldn't see his face.

"Send the Patronus out to make sure." Snape's voice suddenly sounded behind the two of them, Tonks waved his wand with trembling hands, a silver wolf appeared in the air and ran towards the outside of the castle, Sirius looked at the black wolf again Shadow, the Death Eater didn't escape the stun spell he cast, and was knocked to the ground by him. "Good job!" Sirius rejoiced, turning to Tonks. "Speak quickly."

"Remus, are you?" The Patronus had already run to the oak tree, the black figure turned around, and they saw his face clearly, "It's Remus! It really is him!" Sirius shouted happily: "He It's okay, let him come back."

"Remus, I'm Tonks, Sirius and Severus are with me." Tonks' voice became much more stable: "You fight and retreat, come in from the west side of the bombed city wall, we are here, ready to take over from you to fight ’” Tonks said to her husband, sounding like a comrade in the Order of the Phoenix.

Suddenly, a flash of fire brushed across Remus' body, and Tonks screamed. Five or six Death Eaters suddenly emerged from behind the rocks, surrounding Remus from all directions.

They saw Remus wave his wand, and another silver wolf appeared next to Tonks, this one with smoother fur, Remus' Patronus, "I see, Sirius is good." The silver wolf The wolf opened its mouth and spoke in Remus Lupin's voice, and the Death Eaters gradually surrounded him. Remus raised his head and let out a long breath, like a werewolf on a full moon night. Then he loosened his shoulders and pointed his wand at the A Death Eater, and spoke again:

"I can't go back, you keep fighting."

With a "snap", the silver wolf disappeared into the air.

"Moony!!!"

"No... no no no..." Tonks turned around quickly, but a black figure ran down the stairs one step ahead of her, and ran out of the empty space where the castle was blasted.

"Snape!" Sirius yelled, chasing after Snape: "Aren't you saying this is a living target—" A spell rushed towards him, and Snape's words were true, Sirius quickly dodged, red light whistling past the bridge of his nose . "Snape!" he called again when he recovered.

"Reducto!" came a deep voice in front of him, and Snape swung his wand, knocking down the nearest Death Eater to Remus.The continuous light followed Snape's wand-holding fingers around his wrist, he looked at the stunned face of the death eater who fell to the ground, he snorted softly, and sent his wrist forward, the spell hit the death eater's face just right.

The melee started in an instant, and the spell burned Sirius' left sleeve. "Tonks, turn your back on the castle and keep the Death Eaters out of the blasted hole in the wall!" he yelled, not knowing in which direction Tonks was.

"Where's Remus? Where's Remus?" He heard Tonks shouting out of breath as he fought, and Sirius' heart sank. He hasn't seen his old friend since they rushed down.

"Sirius! Watch behind you!" Tonks yelled - but she knew immediately how big a mistake she had made, and after hearing "Sirius," the Death Eater abandoned his original target and pointed his wand directly at Sirius Black instead.

When the four wands cast spells at the same time, Sirius Black felt that he was going to die, and he habitually used his hand to protect the glass bottle on his chest, which contained all the perceptual memories of Snape since he was 16 years old.He raised his wand—

However, in the next second, Sirius suddenly heard Snape's voice: "Levicorpus (Fuchsia)." He suddenly felt his feet lifted up by a huge force, and there was a loud bang and several bangs below him. scream.When he reacted, he was already hung upside down on the oak tree, and his black robe was hanging down to block his vision. He quickly lifted the robe, and saw four Death Eaters fell on the ground, and were issued by their companions. The spell blasted them out of their minds, while Snape cast the Imprisoning Curse on them one by one.

"Snape, thank... thank you. Put me down quickly," Sirius said to the man who cast the Fuchsia spell at him.

"Liberacorpus." Snape waved his wand.

"Wait!" Sirius yelled, waving his wand, but before his slowing spell could take effect, he fell headfirst to the ground.

Sirius howled twice in pain.

"Response speed is questionable," Snape said.

Sirius couldn't refute that, at the critical moment just now, Snape's reaction speed was indeed as fast as a sharp arrow out of a bow.He rubbed his head and smiled. "Who would have thought," Sirius said, "that one day I would be hung upside down by Severus Snape."

"Twenty years is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge," Snape said. Under the oak tree around 20 years ago, the picture was completely opposite. Sirius didn't know if he was dazzled, but he seemed to see a slight smile at the corner of Snape's mouth.

"Remus..." Tonks' voice came, and Sirius came to his senses and stood up anxiously.

On the scorched grass, Tonks sat holding Remus' body.Like a horrible nightmare, half of Remus' body was scorched by the spell, leaving only one good hand, clutching Tonks' arm tightly.

"Moony, Moony..." Sirius staggered towards his old friend, but that body was as cold as the rubble of a blown castle.

Another person died. James Potter, Lily Potter, Albus Dumbledore, and now, Remus Lupine, ever sane head, gentle heart, smiling moon face.

Sirius gently stroked Remus' forehead and helped him close his eyes. The cold wind seemed to take away the warmth of his heart little by little. He remembered that he entrusted Remus with his funeral the night before the operation, and now when he faced the dead body of his friend, Sirius finally knew how much he asked Remus, how many people have the courage to bear the death of their loved ones. Sirius felt that his heart seemed to be splitting open, and what came out of it were the voice and face of Remus, and these voices and faces gradually became the final scene, he was surrounded by all, and died with his chest out And now the unrecognizable corpse.

I didn't even say a proper farewell, and the last words Remus said to himself...

"You keep fighting."

This is the voice of Tonks.

Sirius looked up and saw Tonks' teary eyes.She read Remus' last words, her voice trembling slightly. "Incendio." She waved her wand, and the flames instantly surrounded Remus' body. Sirius jumped away in surprise: "Tonks, you are..."

"I can't leave him here for the Death Eaters, and I...can't take him away." Tonks looked at the body of the person he loved most was gradually engulfed in flames, and the complex expression on his face made Sirius dare not go Guessing how much grief was involved, he could only feel that he could finally hold back the cold tears that fell and the flames that fell on his face. "I still have a mission." Tonks said and turned around, as if trying his best to run towards the castle.

Sirius gritted his teeth and wiped his face carelessly.Then he turned to look at Snape, after so many people had left him, at least, at least Snape was alive.Thinking of this, he felt a little bit of comfort in his heart. "Let's go," he said to Snape, who hadn't been urged for the past few minutes, just stood tall and silent. Sirius grabbed the other's hand involuntarily. "You mustn't die," he told Snape.

"No logic," Snape said.

Sirius didn't answer any more, took Snape's hand and walked into the darkness on the west side of the castle, but Remus' body engulfed in flames still haunted his mind, and the face he had been laughing with for 30 years was reduced to ashes in the flames The picture made him stop after taking only a few steps.

"Don't look back," Snape whispered, and Sirius still didn't move.The Potions Master hesitated for a moment, frowned, and seemed to hold Sirius' palm with his backhand reluctantly, took a step, and moved on.

The author has something to say:

The decisive battle has begun. In fact, I have always felt that it is very difficult to write the decisive battle (is this the real reason why you procrastinated), because I have written three decisive battles, and this time I want to use a different perspective and method to write.Also write some new episodes.A few days ago, I was abused by a conversation on the scarf, so I got the inspiration for Remus.

In a decisive battle, love and affection are always embellishments. In a war, it is not a war. It is the same with Tonks and Remus, and it is the same with Sirius and Snape.It's just that they will support each other in the war.At this moment, Snape had just lost his memory for a few days, and Sirius was very different from what he imagined, and he was super nice to him, probably he was easily attracted to him.

The next chapter will continue with dead people ==, but the decisive battle is coming to an end (hey
