Trick 89: This Dog isn't going to Heaven just yet!

As the time passed, students started showing up.

Ace looked over and smiled, however he didn't see the usual suspects. The three musketeers were strangely missing!

Just at this moment, of all people, Snape walked in!

Ace looked over and smiled "Severus! Come to have some sweets? There's everything, help yourself." Snape looked at the desserts before saying "Unfortunately, I cannot oblige, however I would like to let you know a few students have left the grounds. Do you know anything about this?"

Ace blinked in confusion and shook his head, Snape picked up a candy, saying "Ms. Granger is among them… Something about the Ministry and Sirius Black." Ace frowned and sat up, saying "What?" Snape raised his brows, replying "I have no idea. Perhaps they went on a fieldtrip." before he walked away.

Ace stood up and said "Help yourselves, little ones. I'll be right back." as he ran out of the library.

He jumped on his broom and shot into the sky, leaving Hogwarts and heading for the Ministry.

A while later

Lucius was confronting Harry in a room with an arch as he said "Let me make this simple for you, Potter. Give me the prophecy or watch your friends die." Harry looked around to see all his friends being held by Death Eaters.

He slowly gave Lucius the prophecy and Lucius looked at it, humming to himself.

Just at this moment!

A white fog landed on the ground and Sirius appeared! He looked at Lucius, who turned around as Sirius said "Stay away from my godson." before punching Lucius in the face!

More white fog flew down and landed in the room, revealing Moody, Lupin, Kingsley, and Nymphadora!

However, there was another!

Ace fell from the top of the room, diving down and flipping as he stomped on the guy holding Hermione hostage.

He spun in the air and kicked the Death Eater into the wall, standing in front of Hermione, drawing his wand and flicking it, "Obliviate!" a white beam smashed into the Death Eater's skull and rendered him mentally deficient.

He grabbed the air and threw a spear made of ice, freezing the Death Eater into a statue on the wall before smoothing down his shirt as he smiled, "You okay?" Hermione smiled at him and replied "Thank Merlin you came." as she hugged him.

Ace stroked her hair and smiled "Why didn't you tell me you were coming here, stupid apprentice." as he waved his wand, blocking a spell from another Death Eater. He turned his head and grinned, flicking his wand out as he said "Go hide. I'll deal with this."

The Death Eater sneered and Ace spiraled his wand, shooting a beam of purple light blasting the Death Eater into smoke as he escaped.

Ace turned into purple smoke and chased after him as the rest of the people started fighting as well.

Hermione, Ron, Luna, Ginny, and Neville hid behind a rock, getting out of the way as Harry fought with Sirius.

Ace landed on a rock and flicked his wand out, "Stupefy!" the beam flew and smoke ran into it as the Death Eater flew into the wall, slumping to the ground.

He let out a breath and said "Well, that was easy." before a barrier went up around him, blocking a spell as Lupin said "Long time no see." Ace smiled and said "Remus! How you been?" as he threw out a spell at the Death Eater attacking him.

Remus stepped forward, flicking his wand as he replied "Not too bad. I heard you were on trial?" Ace rolled his eyes and swung his wand, shooting a wave of flames as he replied "You know, the usual. Dumbledore's army accusations, blah blah blah."

Remus chuckled and twirled his wand, blasting the Death Eater flying.

Ace turned his head and stomped on the ground, adding "Other than that, I was Defense Teacher for a few weeks." as rocks started jutting out of the ground in a line, blocking Sirius and Harry as a woman threw an Avada Kedavra at Sirius.

The Rock wall stopped it and Ace threw a 'Stupefy' spell at her, forcing her back.

Lupin raised his brows and joined Ace, asking "Oh yeah? Tough isn't it?" Ace let out a breath and replied "You have no idea! Expelliarmus! I just did dueling tournaments and stuff."

Lupin clicked his tongue and flicked out, "Reducto! I wish I thought of that. However, the Boggart was a bigger priority at the time." Ace nodded and brought his wand to his lips, breathing out a pillar of snow and ice at Bellatrix as she put up a shield, before he replied "It's good to get the fear out of them…"

He sighed and added, "I had the problem of limiting spells in duels, it's a friendly match, they shouldn't be using harmful spells." Lupin laughed and retorted "It's good for competition though!"

Ace rolled his eyes and flicked out, creating a wall of stone around Bellatrix as he replied, "Ginny Weasley thought it would be a good idea to cast Reducto! So I think competition is a bit of an understatement."

Lupin burst out laughing, throwing a spell that turned into chains, flying at Bellatrix as he replied "Classic! You know, Pettigrew was nearly reducted during our 6th year! I wish they succeeded."

Ace chuckled and shook his head, replying "You're nuts." as Bellatrix escaped through a door. He chased after her, waving his wand all around and freezing the Death Eaters. Sirius ran over and asked "Remus, what happened?"

Lupin looked around and said "Well, we seem to have it all under control. Ace went after Bellatrix and the rest have been subdued." Sirius let out a breath and said "Good. We should get going, the Minister will return any moment."

Harry asked, "Sirius, wait! Where are you going?" Sirius smiled and grabbed him, "Harry my dear boy. Everything will be over soon, I promise."

Hermione, however, ran after Ace!

Ace chased Bellatrix down into the entrance of the Ministry, shouting "Daemonus Lacrima!" a blue light escaped his wand and turned into a demon that chased after Bellatrix, grabbing at her with her claws as she swung her wand behind her, "Reducto Maxima!"

The Devil disappeared, leaving behind a teardrop shape that fell on her, trapping her in a tear shaped bubble. Ace smiled and walked over, pointing at the teardrop as he said "Duratus."

Just as he was about to freeze Bellatrix, there was a flash of light and Ace's wand flew up out of his hands.
