Disclaimer: Sirius belongs to J.K. not me, yadda, yadda, yadda if it doesn't sound like something you read from Harry Potter, it probably isn't and I'll claim it as my own.
Author's Note: In my first fic, I Fell, Sirius' entrance wasn't fully explained so I thought I'd write this. You won't have to read my other story to find out the ending cuz I intend on putting the like in this and adding what happened afterward. I'm sure there's a big question mark above your head but don't worry about it you'll find out in future chapters. So anyway here it goes, I'm sure others are/have written about what happened to Sirius and I'm sure they've done it better than I, but what the hell here I go. Try to enjoy my version and always don't forget to tell me how badly I sucked by reviewing. Arigatoo gozaimasu!
Fic 3 of the I Grieve Quadruplet
Between the Living and the Dead
Darkness
The last thing I saw was Harry running down the steps towards me, he looked as shocked as I did and still am for that matter. I fell backwards forever it seemed, my mind was completely blank the whole way down. But when I finally landed, all my thoughts came rushing back.
Sitting on my backside I looked about, which there was nothing to see but blackness all around me. As I began wondering if this was what death was like, a faint glowing light appeared in front of me. I stood up squinting at it, as it approached.
"Come on, follow me, come on now keep up." A scratchy voice said that echoed around me.
"What the hell?" I mumbled, still squinting.
The light became brighter and I could see the figure holding the lantern now, it was a strange goblin looking little man floating in midair. He was wearing an odd assortment of clothing that reminded me a great deal of a house elf, speaking of which I need to ground Kretcher into dust when I get out of here...
"Come on lad follow me."
I stared at him as he approached me.
"Come on now, don't stand there like a git, get in line and follow me."
"Why you-" before I could continue he poked me in the ribs with a cane. "OW!" I yelped clutching my side.
"Come on move it."
"Yeah, we've got places to be, get in line." disembodied voices grumbled.
"Where is this line of yours?" I demanded.
"Look here son," the goblin man hit me on the head with his cane and pointed the lantern behind him where four people appeared.
My face twisted into disgust. "What happened to them?"
"They're dead, were you born yesterday and died today? Can't you tell?"
Yes, I could tell. The first person was an old man who had died from suffocation, the next a man maybe eight ears older than I with a hole in his forehead, then a teenage girl who had slit her wrists followed by a woman who must work with the goblin, because of the lantern she carried and the fact that she looked normal in her black cloak considering I couldn't see her face.
"Now get in line!" The lantern man prodded me in the back with his cane.
"Knock it off!" I cried turning on my heel and shaking a fist at him.
"Move it then." The man turned from me and continued 'walking'.
I grumbled under my breath as I went to the back of the line, the cloaked woman ushered me in front of her and I fell in line behind the teenager.
"Hi I'm Cassandra, but every one calls me Sandy." She said cheerfully brushing her long brown hair behind her shoulder.
"My name's Sirius." I responded a bit unnerved.
"So how'd you die?"
"I'm not sure, I was pushed." I don't feel dead, I thought.
"Oh."
"Do you know where we are?" I asked Sandy.
"We are in another plane, between the living and the dead. You are going to be judged." the cloaked woman told me. Her voice was soft and reminded me of the wind.
"I see." I frowned upon hearing the judging.
"So is this everyone who died today or what?" I asked for lack of something better to do while I followed the line of dead people.
"You are all who have been murdered if that's what you mean. Those who died of natural causes are being led by another elsewhere." the woman said.
Bellatrix, I growled, You must be pretty damn happy knowing you got rid of me. I hope the others got you. I sighed thinking of Harry. I hope you're all right kid. Molly and Lupin'll take care of you until I get back, I'll find a way Harry.

A/N: Hope you like the beginning, updates may be slow but be patient and stay with me, I'll devote all my free time to working on this baby and I'll even sacrifice my homework time. OH by the way, can someone tell my Sirius' eye colour? I fail to remember and yes, I am too lazy (plus lack of time to spare) to look it up and I'm sorry if Sirius is out of character. Arigatoo and review please!
