Mothers are proud when their babies are born.
Except for Willburgah. Her baby boy was born at five in the morning. He was twenty inches and weighed seven pounds. Willburgah only got a glimpse of him as the healers and their assistants took him aside. She couldn't help but turn her head away from the screaming creature covered in blood and thick white paste.
She heard his cry and silently cried with him. She kept telling herself it wasn't his fault and tried listen to her mother's advice. She couldn't hold it against him.
Nine months ago Willburgah was at a family gathering, she drank too much and had felt light headed. Her cousin Orion, whom she trusted, offered to take her to his bed chamber to lie down. It was there that he took advantage of her. A few months later when the proof of what happened came to light, her family forced her to marry.
She was forever trapped with him, living that nightmare day in and day out. Willburgah trembled. She was dazed and confused, feeling this awkward emptiness as the nurses covered her with a blanket and helped her wash up. The healers then finally brought in her son.
"He's perfectly healthy," the healer smiled as he placed Willburgah's son in her arms. She couldn't bring herself to smile at her son even though she knew it wasn't his fault.
"Happy Birthday, Sirius Black."

Sirius felt Harry's arms around him. He assumed it was Harry. He was the one Sirius was trying to save, the one standing next to him. He looked out, and saw the Department of Mysteries before him.
It then became a blur as he felt a hand pull him up. What was happening to Sirius remained a mystery. He just felt himself rising. His body going up, becoming lighter as he broke through each current while moments of his life crossed through his mind.
Then finally, Sirius broke through and reached the surface, looked around and found himself in a body of water. He breathed, saw an island with buildings and swam to it.
