A/N:Hi! This is my first fic ever so please R&R. I really want to know what you guys think.

This fic will mostly take place during the marauder era,but there will be some present

time involved.You can say this is my tribute to Sirius Black after what happened in Book

five ::sniffle::. OOTP spoilers are present. Enjoy :)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Here it was, the book that held within it's pages memorys of the most precious days of

my life. I blew the dust from atop it and opened to the first page.

Typical, a picture of the four of us, me, James, Remus, and that rat, Peter.

Life was so simple back then. Who would have thought that we would meet this fate.

James Potter, killed by the darkest wizard of all time,along with his wife.

Remus Lupin, the prefect, having trouble finding work.

That rat, betraying all his friends and joining the dark side

.

And me, twelve years in Azkaban for a crime I never commited. A crime i never would

have commited...........

My eyes traveled down to the next picture, and my heart gave an unepected jolt.

It was her, me and her together, and she was as beautiful as ever

.

I closed my eyes and shut the album. I took it with me as i walked downstairs for

dinner

.

Remus, Tonks, Moody, and(to Molly's distaste)Mundungus decieded to drop by today.

"Dinners almost ready," Molly told me as she was hurrying about getting things ready

with clumsy help from Tonks. I was more than sure she was better off without it.

I walked over to the table and sat down.

"Look what I found," I told Remus, handing over the album.

Harry, who was sitting next to him, along with pretty much everyone else who was

sitting at the table, stared curiously at the album.

Remus opened up the book and smiled gently as he looked at the first page. He turned

to the next page, and the next, and the next, his smile growing wider with each turn.

He looked up at me and asked,"Where did you find this?" as he turned it back to the

first page.

"It was hidden up in my old room, guess my mother never found it she did she probably

would have burned it," I told him.

"Sirius?" Harry said, unsurly.

"Yes Harry?" I asked.

"Who is she?" He asked, pointing to the picture of me and her together.

"Ahh, Mariam," Remus whispered.

"That's Mariam Millian," I said, as if is didn't hear him.

"Mariam Millian," Hermione repeated,"That name sounds familiar."

"She was killed by a group of deatheaters, coughed up all the blood in her body."

Hermione and Ginny gasped, placing they're hands over they're mouths. Fred(or

George, can never tell who's who) swore under his breath. The rest sat there with

shocked looks upon their faces.

"Why did they kill her?"Ron asked, finally breaking the silence.

"Well, besides the fact that she was a half-blood, she was helping out the Order, tend-

ing to their needs outside her work, she was in training to become a healer, and it

wasn't always safe for members of the Order to be at the St. Mungos , especially the

ones Voldmort knew about. Somehow, what she was doing got around to Voldmort

and he had her killed."

"She's very pretty," Hermione commented, looking at the picture.

"And very smart, brilliant. Smartest one in Hogwarts during our time I'd say. She was

two years younger than us, but she could do things we could do." Remus told

them.

"But who was she to you?"Harry asked me.

"She was going to be my wife," I answered.

Dead silence followed that statement.

"I'm sorry," Harry said in a small voice.

"Don't be, it's not your fault," I assured him.

Molly bought in dinner and we all ate. Thankfully there were some leftovers for Auther,

who was running late.

Afterwards, I went up to feed Buckbeak, and memories came flooding back..........

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Finally I was back where I belong, in Hogwarts, amongest my friends. Away from my

parents, Regulus, they're maniac ideas, and above all, Number 12 Grimmauld Place.

We were all now in the Great Hall, awaiting our meal, talking happily.

"How was your summer?" Remus asked me.

"As good as it gets," I answered, but i couldnt help grinning, I was too happy for even the

memorys of that dreaded place to ruin my good mood.

James kept looking over at a pretty red hear with emerald green eyes named Lily Evans

as she was talking animately with her friends at the far end of the table.

"Come off it, mate," I told him, unable to supress my grinning, but he still continued.

Peter just sat there looking around and staring at us all admirably.

The sorting ceremony began and I was just too hungary to care. I kept zoning in and

out.

"Smith, Zack"...............Hufflepuff............whoever..........Ravenclaw.........."Good,Maria"....

...Ravenclaw............Slytherin............"Deja........".........Gryffindor..............:"Millian,

Mariam"..........

looked up too see how many people were left. As I did, I couldn't help my jaw dropping,

and I wouldnt be surprised if it had gone down to the floor.

Sitting on the stool with the sorting hat upon her head was the most beautiful girl I have

ever layed eyes upon.

Her hair was long silky, and black. Her eyes were surrounded by full lashs I could make

out from here. They were black and they gave off a beautiful sparkle. She had a perfect

figure and a beautiful face that was topped off with a beautymark(mole).

I crossed my fingers for her, hoping for........

"GRYFFINDOR!"

A burst of joy shot through my entire body as i clapped along with my fellow Gryffindors,

some of who were cheering.

"Mate, what was the name of that last one that got sorted?" I asked, wanting to make

sure I got her name correctly.

James and Rremus were grinning while Peter was looking confused stared from them

to me.

"Why do you care?" James aked, still grinning.

"None of your bussiness, you git," I replied.

"Mariam Millian,"Remus told me.

Dumbledore rose and as always the Hall became completely silent. He welcomed

us all back and gave us the set of usual rules, all of which the four of us broke

countless times: the Forbidden Forest is Forbidden, no magic in the corridors, etc.

".........now tuck in," he said.

The tables filled with food, and just as fast the Great Hall was filled with talk and

laughter.

Ikept stealing glances at Mariam . Our eyes met once. She smiled at me shyly

and turned away quickly, blushing furiously.

My stomach did flip flops, back flips, and whatever else it could do.

"Ahem, earth to Sirius," I looked only to find that my three friends were staring at me

intensely, James and Remus grinning widely, and Peter still looking from one to the

other.

"What?" I asked trying to seem indifferent.

"Come off it mate," James said mockingly.

"You should talk," I shot back.

When the feast ended, we all headed back to our dromotories. That night I drifted to

sleep almost instantly, dreaming about Quidditch, classes, and Mariam Millain.
