A/N: This idea just popped into my head, I'm just toying with the concept of Sirius falling in love with a girl on the edge of sanity. The story will go backwards starting at her funeral, then eventually leading through her downfall to her actual death. It will be mainly POV's with Sirius and Adele but there are other main characters in there... anyway review please! Enjoy!
Disclaimer: I do not own any Harry Potter characters (yet...), Adele is my made-up one & if you recognize anything else it's probably not mine either.
prologue
She was everything, everything to him. He always knew she was 'the one', sure he had been with many girls in his time but Adele Everett was different. Sure, it was a bit cliché, but something about her captivated his mind from the day they met, and never let it go.
In many aspects their relationship shouldn't have been, for starters he was older; much older. She was only seventeen, about a year older than his godson, he shouldn't have loved her, but he did.
And now staring with vacant eyes at the bleak, grey casket in front of him he gazed at his princess for the last time. The small mourning room was filled with a thick silence, broken only by the occasional wail. Sirius was empty, a hard lump pressed against his throat; the fact he had denied for so long was now undeniably true. Adele Everett, his Adele was dead.
Her beauty was still evident in death; although her skin was pale, and her eyes were vacant, the traces of splendor were undeniable. Her full lips had been painted red, the rouge stuck out violently on her pale cheeks and she was swathed in elegant black robes.
Sirius knew her death was fated, during the months prior she had turned into a wreck, she was a ticking time bomb waiting to implode, her sanity was fading fast and she was wasting away to mere nothingness. Sirius had always known this, and guilt for not intervening piled in his mind.
He glanced down at her frail hand, her long sleeves had been cleverly placed to hide scarred wrists, but there on her finger was a solid gold ring. His ring, her ring, their engagement ring. Sirius lost it, he ran from the room as hot tears bit at his eyes.
'Adele!' he wept, 'Oh Christ Adele' his voice cracked as he shrouded his face with his large hands. How did this happen?
A/N: I know it was really short, but I just wanted to have the prologue done and over with. I promise it'll get better! RR! thanks.
Love, bellaaa
