((A/N: Hello there all my dedicated fans and friends and welcome to my newest fic. As usual Flames are not allowed and will be called out on. I hope everyone likes this song and i'm really sorry that I haven't writen anything lately. I'm trying to write more, but sometimes life gets in the way.))
I rose from my grave a month ago, not knowing the year or even what time of day it was. It has been almost twenty years since my death and the ones I love are the ones I cannot find. I promised I would come back and he promised that he'd be here when I did, but he's nowhere to be seen. There are no new flowers on my grave I have been forgotten by all, even my mates…
Twenty years ago, Jackie Potter was put to rest at the young age of 17. They say her last words were a curse of immortality, but no one really believed it, until the ministry went to exhume her body and saw that there was none to find.
I'm Not Suppose to be Alive
Back Again
The Black Oak Cemetery sits on the top of a tall hill in the countryside of Central England. This is where most of the Noble House of Black lay their family members to rest. The two newest graves in the cemetary are that of a woman and a small child. They are set in the very middle of the very top of the hill under the Oak tree for which the cemetery is named.
The tombstones were made of black granite and the epitaphs were written in hardened liquid gold. The first one was that of the little child and it read:
Here lies the spirit of;
Rigel James Black
Son of Sirius Orion Black and Jackie Rana Black
His life was short, but full of the love
of his loved ones.
"We love you, Rig."
The woman's grave was almost touching that of the child's and the grave stone was crafted exactly the same. Her's read:
Here lies;
Jackie Rana Black
Mother of Rigel James Black
Wife of Sirius Orion Black
She lived a life of turmoil and sorrow, but gave unending love to the ones that needed it.
Inside the coffin was the white satin lining with dirt covering the bottom of the floor. The men stood back horrified as if the coffin had been cursed and all the first man did was shake his head and instruct the men to put it back in the ground quickly. The man turned and walked briskly down the hill threw the winding trails of the cemetery and toward a black car. The back window rolled down and the face of Albus Dumbledore could be seen.
"I take it the body grossed you out, Minister," Albus Dumbledore said looking up at the man over his half moon glasses. His blue eyes twinkled as the sun floated into the car threw the window. His eyebrows went up at the lack of response from the usual talkative Minister of Magic.
"Where is it, Albus, that body is important to our investigation of the Dark Lord," the Minister demanded from the Headmaster. Albus cocked his head to the side. The twinkle in the old man's eyes could not get any brighter.
"When you think something is impossible even for a witch, you might want to think again," Albus said as he rolled up the window and the car drove away. The Minister watched the car drive off and stamped his foot on the ground in frustration as the car drove out of site.
A man stood before this grave looking at the tombstone as if it were dog poo on the bottom of his shoes. He nodded his head to the men with shovels in their hands and they began to dig in the soft soil towards, what they thought would be, the decaying form of Jackie Black. As they reached where the coffin lay in the ground they brushed off the dirt and opened the coffin when they hauled it out of its resting place.BackAgain
In Grimmauld Place there are twenty houses, or there should be anyway, there really are only nineteen to the Muggle eye. The houses skip from 11 to 13, to the Muggles there isn't a 12, but the members of the Black family and the members of the Order of the Phoenix know other wise. 12 Grimmauld Place is now home to the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix, of which Sirius Black is a member.
Sirius Black sat in an armchair in the library of 12 Gimmauld Place looking out at the street below. It was like he was waiting for something life changing to happen. It had been like this for a while. He'd look out the window in a daze for about a hour and then go talk to Remus about the past and then he'd be back to normal.
"Sirius, can I talk to you?" Remus asked as he walked into the library and kneeled next to the chair. "You can't keep living in the past, Padfoot," Remus said as he looked at the blank look on Sirius's face. He shook his head and looked at his friend. Sirius's eyes were red from crying and he sighed shakily.
"She promised that she'd come back some day. I waited twelve years in Azkaban thinking that she could come back any minute and I wouldn't be there like I promised," Sirius said threw the tears that ran down his cheeks. Remus let Sirius rest his head on his shoulder and ran his fingers threw his friend's hair.
"I miss her too, Sirius," Remus said and raised Sirius's head to look him in the eye. Sirius nodded and put his head in his hands. "There's nothing you could have done. It was completely out of your hands. You couldn't have stopped them from coming in," Remus said as he shook head and let his friend cry by himself. "She's not coming back, Pads, you'll see that soon enough," Remus said and sighed as he walked out of the room and bumped into Minerva.
"He's still staring out the window, right?" Minerva asked and Remus nodded before she dragged him down the stairs and having him sit at the table with the rest of the Order. He looked around and only found the older members and no new members sitting at the table around him.
"What's all this about?" Remus asked as he looked up to see Albus sit at the head of the table and put his head into his hands. He cocked his head to the side as he looked at the Headmaster.
"The minister went to exhume Jackie's body today for the investigation into her death. She wasn't in there, Remus," Albus said as he shook his head and let his hands fall to the table and his head rose. He looked at Remus and nodded. "You know what this means, Remus. You must take Sirius to her, where ever she may be," Albus said looking into Remus's eyes. "Or else, we may not like the outcome," Albus said and Remus nodded. He stood from the table and then turned back.
"Sir, what should I tell him?" Remus asked as he leaned against the door and Albus shook his head. He looked down at his wand lying on the table for a minute and then back to Remus.
"You're his friend, Remus, tell him what you wish," Albus said as he stood from the table and made his way to the front door. Albus walked away from the house and apparated away to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
"You heard him, Remus, go and get Sirius and get out of here. We'll try to explain to the boy," Moody said as he stood in the corner of the kitchen. Molly and Arthur Weasley nodded and Remus nodded to the people in the room.
Remus walked up the stairs in the house walking past Kreature, whom was mumbling about something to the portrait on the first landing. Remus walked up to the library and got his friend's attention away from the window and the world beyond it.
"You were right, Pads, she's back. She rose like she said she would," Remus said and Sirius's head snapped to look at him. Sirius jumped out of his seat, but Remus pushed him back down. "Sirius, you have to understand, she's not the same Jackie that you married all those years ago. We don't know what she'll be like this time around," Remus tried to explain to his love-blinded friend. Remus turned Sirius's head to look at him and their eyes met. "Sirius, before we go looking for her, you have to understand this. It's been twenty years, she may not be the same woman that we used to know," Remus tried to explain and noted that Sirius's eyes dimmed this time as he said it.
"Okay, I just want to hold her in my arms again, Moony. She's my wife; I love her, with every fiber of my being. I can't lose her again," Sirius said and Remus nodded. He took his friend's hand and they walked down the stairs.
They walked down the stairs and into Sirius's room. They grabbed a few of Sirius's things and left the house. They stood in the park across from the house and sat in one of the benches for a few minutes brainstorming where Jackie could have gone.
