Whatever It Takes... [HP X MCU (AU) Fanfic]

Sirius took a small sip from his beer bottle and stared out of the window… Now that the time of attack was getting close, he was starting to feel the nerves. It wasn't like he was getting cold feet or something since he had complete faith in his Godson, but there was always a chance that something might go wrong.

After all, plans never survived after the first contact with the enemy… The gist of the problem was that Sirius didn't want to die… Who would? Sirius knew it was wrong of him to think like that, but he simply couldn't help himself. For years, he wanted to die and reunite with James and Lily, wherever they were, but now he was a changed man.

He knew that there was little he could do to take care of Harry, but Sirius still wanted to be by the side of the Godson. He had fucked up and missed the chance to watch his Godson to grow up into a responsible man… Harry grew up but in a different way. His Godson was nothing like his parents. He was cruel, ruthless, and extremely pragmatic.

Sirius released a shuddering breath as he took another sip… Once again, he was thinking about useless things. He had promised that he wasn't going to fail Harry again and he was going to keep that promise, no matter what the cost…

"You look worried, cousin" A voice broke him out of his musings. Sirius grimaced and turned to look at Narcissa, who was casually lounging on the couch.

"Why are you here again? I thought you hated getting your hands dirty" Sirius asked with a deep frown on his face. 

"Bellatrix is going to be here, Sirius" Narcissa chided softly while giving him a mocking look. "This is probably going to be the last time I am going to see her. I want to say goodbye" Narcissa revealed, making Sirius scowl. "Don't give me that look, Harry already agreed" Narcissa added when she noticed the look on Sirius' face.

Sirius snorted and opened his mouth to say something, but his mouth snapped close when a Spell struck him from the side…

"Will you two shut up? I need to focus" Tonks glared at the duo. Narcissa and Sirius were family. She could understand that their ideals were different, but now they were working towards the same goal, so she couldn't understand why the two of them kept bickering like children.

"Sorry" Narcissa apologized, not looking sorry in the slightest, but she decided to stop.

Tonks nodded her head in acceptance… At least, her aunt agreed to back down so she threw a glare at Sirius, who slumped down in his seat after a moment, so Tonks canceled the Silencing Charm she placed on him. "And stop drinking, a simple mistake can get you killed" Tonks growled as she glared at the man. Even though Harry had given her access to his power, she couldn't control it completely.

"Okay, mum" Sirius mumbled as he placed the bottle on the table. "By the way, are you going to be alright?" Sirius asked, sounding concerned while looking at Tonks.

"Don't worry, I am going to be fine. You should worry about yourself, old man" Tonks gave him a pointed look, but instead of feeling offended, Sirius shook his head.

"That's not what I am talking about" Sirius denied. "I mean… You haven't killed anyone yet… so…" Sirius trailed off, unsure how to finish.

Tonks felt her shoulders slump… "It would have happened eventually, so why not now?" Tonks asked with a mirthless chuckle.

"You do not need to force yourself, you know. Harry said it would be fine if you just captured them" Narcissa pointed out, but Tonks shook her head.

"I know, but I need them to think I am Harry. He would probably kill one of them just for the sake of his amusement before deciding to play with them" Tonks pointed out. She knew what she had to do… She could try to subdue them but she wasn't planning to put Sirius in danger in the process. Harry was depending on her to complete the task, and she wasn't planning to disappoint him.

"You know, you can taunt them without killing anyone. Your mom would have preferred that" Narcissa pointed out, and Tonks gave the older woman a dirty look. It was a low blow to bring up her mom.

"I will be fine, thank you" Tonks said while glaring at the older woman. Sirius and Narcissa gave her concerned looks for a moment before all of a sudden, Sirius stiffened. Tonks and Narcissa were about to ask if something had happened, but they didn't need to since all of a sudden the Wards around the house shuddered. "Looks like our guests are already here" Tonks said drily as her form started to shift.

She was already dressed like Harry, now she simply needed to morph herself into him. "If I didn't know you were Tonks, then I would have been fooled too" Narcissa mumbled with a hint of awe in her voice as she inspected her niece.

"I know, right?" Tonks asked with a grin on her face. Even Harry was impressed when she morphed into him the second time. However, Tonks knew that she needed to be careful. Her Wandless Magic still felt a bit off, but as long as she focused, she could get the job done even though her aim could be a bit off. The Wards shuddered again as various Spells continued to slam against the wall.

"Fuck!! I can't Aparate" Sirius cursed loudly, making Tonks snort.

"What else did you expect, genius?" Tonks snarked at him. It was the usual modus operandi of the Death Eater and Sirius was there during the last war, so he shouldn't be surprised with their methods.

"I know, but I still needed to check" Sirius mumbled under his breath, trying to defend himself, earning snorts from both Tonks and Narcissa. Realizing his mistake, Sirius decided to make himself scarce since he didn't want to become the butt of another joke. "I am going to greet my deranged cousin" Sirius announced as he stood up and started to head outside.

"Hold them for at least a minute. I will show up if you are in danger, but I expect you to be alright for a minute" Tonks called out and Sirius stopped for a moment, before nodding his head. "What about you? You said you wanted to greet your sister" Tonks asked as she looked at Narcissa.

"I can do that later… After all, Harry wants her to be taken alive" Narcissa pointed out calmly and Tonks nodded her head in understanding. Harry wanted the deranged woman to be captured alive… It was alright if she managed to escape, but Tonks wasn't supposed to kill her. Apparently, her boyfriend wanted to gift the woman to Augusta Longbottom.

The old bat wanted to take revenge for her son and daughter-in-law with her own hands, or maybe force that poor boy Neville to do the deed. Augusta was a hardass bitch, Neville? He was just a sweet boy under the care of the most overbearing woman she ever came across. She didn't know much about the boy, but he was a day older than her Harry, but she knew that Neville was in her house and loved plants.

If that wasn't a poster Hufflepuff then she wasn't sure what was… Maybe, she could take Neville to meet Daphne or Susan… Speaking about Daphne, wasn't the girl helping a Muggleborn girl from her class? Yes, Neville could probably get along with them, but Tonks shook her head when the Wards finally collapsed. She could think about helping the boy later since right now she had other important things to worry about.

Like keeping Sirius Black alive and kicking…

(A few minutes ago)

"All of you know the plan, right?" Bella asked as she looked around. She had brought her husband and his useless brother with her along with a group of new recruits. "Our job is to bring down the Wards and kill the blood traitor. He is not going to get an easy death" Bella crowed in a gleeful tone as her eyes trembled in pure madness. 

It was not a new sight to either Rodolphus or Rabastan, but for the rest, it was terrifying as fuck. All of them gulped nervously before frantically nodding their heads in understanding.

Bella smiled at the sight. "Good, let's hunt down a blood traitor!" Bella announced cheerfully as she attacked the Wards with the rest following her example. Her duty was to draw Potter out of his hidey hole and while her husband was aware of the plan, the others did not need to know that. It was obvious that Rodolophus wasn't happy about the plan since they could die, but he knew better not to defy the Dark Lord.

All of them saw a figure rush out of the house and take cover behind the fountain and a smile bloomed on Bella's face. It would have been annoying to search the house for the blood traitor… "Is that you, cousin? Bella felt lonely after you left her to rot in Azkaban!" Bellatrix cackled in mad glee as she continued to attack the Wards.

"And are you still licking the feet of your master like a dog you are?" Sirius taunted her and Bella felt her temper flare at his words.

"You dare, you filthy maggot!" Bella snarled and attacked the Wards with even more zeal. The Wards flared for the last time before finally collapsing. "The Wards are down, cousin, there is nowhere to hide. Come, Aunty Bella will take good care of you" Bella cooed as she urged one of the recruits to step inside the property. Bella might be insane, but she wasn't stupid.

When no traps were triggered, Bella finally stepped inside the property along with the rest of the group… "Come, Sirius, do you remember how we used to play when we were children?" Bella asked excitedly as she cast an Exploding Curse at the fountain while she ordered the others to fan around the fountain. Then all of a sudden, one of the new recruits was struck down.

Bella whirled around and saw the silhouette of a figure run away from a nearby tree. "All right Bella, you wanted to play… Let's play tag, just like we used to when we were children…" A disembodied voice rang out and Bella barely stopped herself from snarling in rage…
