Prologue

Ianto and Owen sat together monitoring the rift activity, for a strange reason it was acting differently for the last few months. Jack had ordered the team to keep a close eye on it. Jack knew all about magic, he attend Hogwarts years ago, but just for the year though, little did he know he was going to see an old student soon.

"Come on bell, you can do better than that!," he yelled as his voice echoed around the room.

Suddenly Sirius looked away to see how his godson, Harry, was doing.

Sirius's eyes only drift for a second but it was too late as the second jet of light hit him squarely on the chest. His eyes were widened in shock with the lightest of laughter still etched on his face.

His body went rigid and curved into a graceful arc as he sank backwards through a veil hanging from the arch.

He couldn't move his body, but he could see his godson face looking at him as his handsome face fell through the doorway and disappeared into the veil.

He span around, hearing his cousin screaming in triumphant meanwhile his godson was screaming his name over the over.

Then he strangely saw his best friend, Remus Lupin holding Harry back. His words set shockwaves through his body.

"There's nothing we can do, Harry."

His godson voice was filled of anger, "Get him, save him, he's only just gone through."

"It's too late Harry," Remus said as his voice was breaking by the second.

"We can still reach him," Harry was struggling with Remus voice full of grief, "There's nothing you can do … Harry ….nothing … Sirius .. he's gone."

Sirius felt strange, he was floating in a mist. He recongised , the two people immediately walking towards him. James? Lily? Then his younger better brother was there, Regulus? Sirius just stood rotted to the spot.

"It's not your time big brother, I'm sorry for everything; He's your first clue horocuxes." Then he walked away.

Sirius looked around there's was no breeze, no trees only green fields.

"Where am i?"

"Beyond the veil Padfoot," said Lily.

"That's means, I'm dead," chocked Sirius .

"No Padfoot, it's not your time."

"How Bella got me with a stunner spell, I fell through the veil."

" True, but Merlin granted you life. Go back. Harry needs you, Remus needs you," said James his voice was broken and Lily pitched in," Finish are work, leaving Harry caused as so much heartbreak, Defeat Voldermort, research horocuxes."

"I want to stay with you!"

"No Padfoot, we will see each other again one day."

"Harry doesn't need me, Remus had been in his life more then I have, even Severus."

Sirius felt a hex from a laughing Lily as James spoke, "Harry loves you as a father, respect that and go back to life. Promise me you will look after Harry, get a girlfriend and Remus together with Dora. Tell Severus I was a prat, tell him thank you for looking after Harry."

"I promise."

"Go you haven't got much time, now, it's closing," yelled Prongs.

Sirius ran through an opening that had appeared, closing behind him just as he went through. He felt himself falling to the ground again, he closed his eyes as he landed on a hard piece of tarmac. Fuck something cracked.

"Jack, someone came through the rift and is currently outside the hub," said a panicking Ianto.

Jack ran outside, seeing a man lying on the ground, trying to get up, but kept falling to the ground.

He held out a hand, helping the man up, support him; it looked like a broking leg.

"Sirius Black?"

"Professor Harkness?"

"It's jack, I'm not your professor now. Welcome back."

Sirius looked at his former professor nothing was different, how the blazing hell does he look so young. "My leg hurts,: he managed, questions later.

Jack sighed, "I'll get my medic to look at it."

"Thanks, where I'm I."

"Cardiff, Torchwood Padfoot, come in and I'll explain everything to you and the team."
