And the Credo of the Musketeers, those brothers in all but blood, was "All for one and one for all."

Brothers, Rupert Giles thought as he and Ethan walked towards the ministry of magic. What kind of a brother had he ever been to them? But then, neither of them had been good brothers to Ethan. Both pulling in different directions until Ethan became Chaos. Pure, unresolved, Chaos. And yet, for all the anger they ahd, Sirius needed them now. So, they were here. And not a moment too soon by the explosions going on inside. The two sorcerers ran, heading into the building and down to the fight their magic detected. And they watched. Watched the man with the serpentine face raised his wand and pointed it at a dog they recognized as Sirius in his animagi form.

"AVERTO!" Giles yelled. At the same time Ethan cried "INTANGIO!"

The serpentine face swung towards them and fired a curse. Ethan moved, faster than Giles realized he could.

"Janus hear me," Ethan muttered as he pitched a pouch of silver dust at the villain, "Bring the one who knows true what he has done wrong, bring him to me now and give my brother his freedom. Shield us all as we face this evil, this affront to you and your family. Janus, hear my Plea!"

The bag exploded mid air, throwing Ethan as if he weighed nothing back into the wall. He landed at the feet of the boy Sirius was godfather to and he gasped as he realized he was still alive. Dumbledore, whom Ethan had met only once in his life, stood there as well. And then, there was a man with watery eyes and a pudgy body.

"Thank you Janus," Ethan gasped out, as Giles and Sirius were both there by him. He would live, he knew. Broken ribs were nothing to some injuries he'd had in the past.

"All for one?" he whispered to his brothers. The two of them looked down at him and Giles chuckled.

"And one for all," Giles returned. "And one for all."

"Brothers," Ethan said softly. "You're both my brothers. Never make me chose again."

"Never," Sirius said. Giles chuckled as he knelt on Ethan's other side.

"All For One," he said.

"And One For All," Ethan and Sirius replied.

And One For All
