AURORA BOREALIS, HARRY P

「 seven: plotting murder 」

Another snowball appeared out of seemingly thin air and pelted Malfoy straight in the face. Man more continued to fly at them and soon they were stumbling all over the place. One of Malfoy's goonies had his trousers pulled down and the other had his hat covering his eyes. It was a funny sight a definitely cheered Aurora up after the foul few weeks she'd been having.

The three continued to trip and stumble in the snow. Aurora laughed to herself, Ron and Hermione. They ended up running away and Aurora was gripping her sides in fits of laughter. "Bloody hell, Harry. That was not funny" Ron told Harry as he pulled of the cloak

"I beg to differ" Aurora grinned.

   "Those weasels! Never told me about a marauders map. It's completely out of order how they showed you and Aura before me! Their own little brother!" Ron complained "Harry isn't going to keep it. He'll turn it over to professor McGonagall. Aren't you?" Hermione told Harry in a serious tone.

"Sure" Aurora scoffed "along with his invisibility cloak". Hermione looked over into the distance "look who it is. Madam Rosmerta" she said "Ron fancies her". Madam Rosmerta was fixing a sign out side of the three broomsticks before she turned around and looked at Cornelius Fudge who was getting off of his carriage.

Fudge and Rosmerta were having a conversation when Rosmerta scoffed "Sirius Black in Hogsmeade? What would bring him here?". Fudge stepped closer to her and whispered "Harry Potter and Aurora Harring" "Harry Potter? Aurora Harring?" she asked incredulously.

McGonagall was quick to shut Rosmerta up as she and Fudge walked into the Three Broomsticks. Ron and Hermione both looked to where Harry and Aurora were standing only to find them gone. They watched as two pairs of footsteps appeared in the snow "Harry!" Ron whisper-yelled the same time Hermione hissed"Aura!".

Aurora and Harry walked into the Three broomsticks under the invisibility cloak, Ron and Hermione following not too far behind. Aurora and Harry had managed to sneak inside of the pub and into what seemed a private room. Aurora knew this was the perfect opportunity for Harry to find out what she was too scared to tell him.

" I can assure you Professor Dumbledore doesn't want dementors around the place" McGonagall said "now, tell me what this is about" Rosmerta said as she, McGonagall and Fudge took their seats.

"Years ago, when Harry Potter's parents realised they were marked for death, they went into hiding. Few knew where they were. One who did was Sirius Black" Aurora winced at his name, Harry noticed "he told You-Know-Who" McGonagall said.

"Not only did Black lead him to the Potters that night, he also killed one of their friends, Peter Pettigrew!" Fudge exclaimed. McGonagall and Rosmerta spoke shortly about how Peter Pettigrew always followed Sirius and James, Harry's dad.

McGonagall then went onto explain how Peter went to warn the Potters of Sirius the night he was murdered. "How does Aurora fit into this then?" Rosmerta asked, Aurora was scared "why, she's Sirius' daughter!" McGonagall said. Aurora watched as Harry looked at her. Rosmerta looked shocked as ever "Blimey!" she breathed.

Fudge shook his head as he poured a glass of liquor "Black was vicious. He didn't kill Pettigrew. He destroyed him!" Fudge looked over at the two women and held up his pinky "a finger. That's all that was left. A finger. Nothing else".

"Sirius Black may not have put his hands on the potters but he's the reason they're dead" McGonagall told them "and now he wants to finish what he started!" Fudge said "probably wants his daughter to join the ranks too"

"I don't believe it" Rosmerta said. McGonagall was shaking her head at the thought of Aurora joining the Death Eaters, yes, she was like her father in many ways but that didn't mean she had to take the same career path. McGonagall was very conflicted about her feelings towards Sirius' case but she always had this nagging feeling inside of her that he was innocent. Sirius was one of her boys and in the back of her mind, she knew, he was a good man

"That's not the worst of it" Fudge said as he handed McGonagall a drink "what could be worse?" Rosmerta asked "this" Fudge said "Sirius Black was, and remains to this day, Harry Potter's Godfather!"

Harry instantly grabbed Aurora hand and dragged her out of the room. Aurora's eyes were brimming with tears once again. Sirius Black, her father, was the reason Harry didn't have any parents. He was the reason Harry didn't grow up in a home full of love. He was the reason Harry nearly died.

Aurora wondered how her mother could've ever been around a prick like Sirius Black.

   Harry buried himself in Aurora's arms. He felt so much pain and anger towards Sirius Black. Harry cried into Aurora's arms and the two were still covered by the invisibility cloak.

   The sounds of Harry's sobbing caused Aurora to begin crying as well. Each time Aurora thought Harry was going to pull away, he pulled Aurora closer to himself. The two were so wrapped up with each other that neither noticed Ron or Hermione walking up to them.

   The two looked up with red eyes and tear stained cheeks when Hermione removes the cloak. "What happened?" Hermione asked softly "h-he was their friend" Harry stuttered.

   Harry grabbed Aurora's hand as he spoke, intertwining their fingers and gripping onto her as if she was his only source of life.

   "He betrayed them. He was their friend!" Harry yelled.

   "I hope he finds me" Harry lowered his voice "because we he does, I'm gonna be ready! When he does, I'm gonna kill him!"
