! Y/n is James' sister !

Y/n ran all the way down the corridor until she found Sirius. As she reached him, she stumbled into his arms. "Sirius. Sirius, he's coming for me." Y/n panted, looking back every few seconds. "Who? Who's coming for you?" Sirius asked. "Severus, he's gone mad." Y/n replied. "What do you mean?" Sirius asked. "I was... I was in the wrong place at the wrong time, Sirius. I saw something I wasn't supposed to. And they chased me for a bit, but I've lost them." Y/n exclaimed. "What did you see, y/n?" Sirius asked. "Severus, he's got the... he's got the dark mark." Y/n uttered. "I knew he would eventually. It was just a matter of time." Sirius grumbled. "That is not what's important right. We need to focus on the fact that Snape and his friends are looking for me. They know I know too much. And now - you do, too." Y/n announced.

"Y/n!" Snape called out, his death eater friends trailing behind him. "We don't want any trouble, Severus. Really. I won't tell anyone, I swear!" Y/n assured, her hands out in surrender. "You've already told Sirius. And that's one too many." One of the slytherins called out. Out of the corner of her eye, Y/n saw Regulus standing amongst the death eaters. "Sirius, look." Y/n whispered, pointing to Sirius' brother. How the lot of them hadn't been caught amazed her. Surely someone had heard the groups bickering. "Sirius and I won't tell anyone. Isn't that right, Sirius?" Y/n asked, nudging his side. "Not a soul." Sirius smirked. "He's obviously lying." Another slytherin called out. "Come on, Severus. Don't you want those stupid bloody marauders to feel the pain you feel every time one of those gits get something that you deserve?" The same death eater from earlier added. Severus' mind immediately traveled to James and Lily. Why couldn't Lily see that this was all for her? For Godric's sake, he became a death eater for her!

Y/n looked at Sirius who's eyes went wide in shock. Y/n was too late - because by the time she looked back at Severus, his wand was already pointed at her, and the curse was already spoken. "Crucio!" The words were shouted with pure desire. Y/n dropped to the floor as her body shook in pain. Her bones were on fire. She was sure her head was splitting down the middle. But then again, there were no words to describe the pain she felt. She wanted to be released from the torture. She wanted the pain to stop... she wanted to die. Sirius looked down at her helplessly - what could he do in a moment like this? He never studied how to stop the curse. Hell, he didn't even remember studying the curse at all. How could Snivellus possibly find a rational explanation for his actions? "Snape, stop! Stop, enough!" Sirius yelled through gritted teeth. As much as he wanted to beat the life out of Snivellus, he didn't want to leave y/n's side. And he was also extremely outnumbered. "GAHHHH!" Y/n bellowed, her chest felt like it was being stabbed with a million hot knives. "Severus, please. Enough!" Sirius was practically on his knees, begging him to stop. When Snape looked at y/n, he was filled with guilt. He honestly found her a very pleasant, and tolerable person who really didn't deserve this. But then, looking over at Sirius. Nothing had ever felt more worth it to him in that moment. To see Sirius full of pain - begging for him to stop the torment. It was almost everything he could've ever wanted. But then he heard her wails again, and the guilt rushed back in.

"I wanna die. Let me die, please. Anything. Make it stop. Let me go!" Y/n sobbed, she was close to losing her mind - to losing everything. Y/n writhed around on the ground, trying anything to get the pain to subside. "Crucio!" Snape shouted again. And then, the pain settled. Her brain felt blank. Names, faces - things she knew before seemed so blurry and far away.

Sirius watched as Snape and his friends ran off to wherever it is they went. He was shocked that no one - nobody at all came to check out the scene. Had they not been that loud? Were y/n's screams not loud enough to be heard by the entire school?
Y/n.
Sirius looked down at her. "They're gone. They're gone. You're okay. Here, let's get you to Madam Pomfrey." Sirius whispered. Y/n's eyes were wide open as she stared up at the sky with a blank expression. "Y/n?" Sirius spoke again. Y/n moved her head in his direction, her eyes seemed so empty. "J- James?" Y/n asked, trying her best to reach her hand up to brush 'James' cheek. "No, love. No. It's Sirius." Sirius corrected softly, tears slipping down his cheeks. "Sirius?" Y/n tried to dig through her head - her memories; to remember a Sirius. She was having a hard time remembering anyone. Sirius shut his eyes, trying to stop the stream of tears. He didn't say anything more, he just picked Y/n up and carried her to the hospital wing.
