-1The
order was holding a rather noisy meeting when Sirius couldn't take
it anymore and he pushed his chair back, the legs making a horrid
noise against the stone floor causing everyone to look his way. He
cringed 'well so much for a quite exit' he thought and looked up
at everyone as all eyes swung to him.
"I'm stepping out for a
bit don't worry not taking off just need some air"
Mrs.
Weasly looked a bit sad and said " I don't think that's the
best idea Sirius between school starting soon the danger of Lord
Voldemort and those dreams of y--"
A sharp look from Sirius
stopped her mid rant.
" The dreams are nothing. I can't
stay in all the time I am going for some air."
There was a
note of finality in his voice that no one dared dispute. He walked to
the door and changed to his animagus form and waited for the door to
be opened.
"The poor dear stuck in this house with no one
but Harry to call his own." Mrs. Weasly said as she flicked her
wand and all the maps and plans were put away "that's enough
for tonight we could all use some sleep."
Mumbled ok's
could be heard from all about the room as everyone shuffled off to
bed.
Meanwhile outside Sirius, once again in human form, leaned against the wall of his house just inside its invisible barrier he heaved a sigh and said to the wind "I never thought I could feel so alone and useless outside that prison. Oh Melissa I miss you so." He waited untill he knew everyone was asleep and he went back inside headed to his room thinking of the dreams tormenting him nightly. 'Why do my dreams show me a past I can't change?'
Outside again there is a sound from the bushes near the house and a small pure black pup, that went unseen by Sirius, moves from the shadows and walks to the place the house should be and as she closed her sapphire blue eyes against the light from the street lamps she smiled and she caught faint wisps of his scent. She grinned and thought to herself. 'Night Dad'.
Images flashed past Sirius' minds eye. He saw a beautiful woman with ice blue eyes that could inspire poetry or create nightmares in a man depending on the way she looked at you with them. She wore a frilly white dress as she lay in his arms firmly pressed against his chest but then darkness flooded the dream and he couldn't see. Rain begin to pound on the ground around him but he couldn't feel it that's when he realized he couldn't feel her either. Just as he thought that the woman was ripped from his arms. She looked at him her ice blue eyes draining of life as blood flowed from the wounds on her body washing over his hands. she whispered one word "Ayla" then she was gone and he was alone in the dark. Sirius jumps from his bed and yelled "MELISSA NO!" but he was to late 15 years to late to save his only love, the one person in this world he that loved him back.
The girl woke the next morning and waited for
the man she was now sure was her
Father, Sirius Black. She didn't
have long to wait because just then he rushed past her seemingly
appearing from nowhere and dropped to his knees on the ground taking
deep, ragged breaths. She walked over to him warily pulling the hood
of her jacket up till her face was hidden she reached out and was
about to touch his shoulder when…
He had to get out of that
house everyone was awake as he ran past them all with the dream still
fresh in his mind and the pain still fresh in his heart, he bolted
for the door and once outside he hit his knees gulping in air trying
to calm himself and willing himself to forget. That's when he felt
the presence of a powerful wizard he listened as they came closer and
just as they were about to grab him he grabbed them and flipped them
to the ground in front of him and said "who are you what do you
want?" That's when he got a look at his "Powerful wizard"
"Just a child" he muttered. Then she moved away with graceful
speed, she looked like poetry in motion as she jumped back to where
he couldn't touch her.
He took a real good look at her then,
when he realized it was a girl, he was stunned at the amount of power
he could feel coming from her. She was wearing tight jeans and a
baggy black jacket that hid her appearance completely.
"Who are
you girl what do you want?"
She reached back and pulled off her
hood just as Dumbledore arrived then she looked up at her father "I
am your daughter"
It all hit him like a ton of bricks all he
could register at first where her eyes just like Melissa's then he
looked again no not just like them darker and sadder like she had
seen more then her fare share of hardships. But it was there none the
less, that same spark he saw so long ago in the eyes of his one and
only, that's when what she said registered in his mind.
" My
what?" he managed vocalize his shock just above a stunned
whisper
That's when Dumbledore stepped up and said "lets take
this inside where it is safer" he ushered them towards the now
visible house and she pulled her hood up again hiding her gorges blue
eyes from Sirius' view.
He took a deep breath and gathered his
wits about him. How can I have a daughter? How can she look so much
like Melissa if she isn't my daughter? No it cant be our child I
would know about her, Melissa would have told me, wouldn't she?
