A/N) I'm not gonna describe any character that I don't own and so I will only be describing Sarah, her mother, Mimi Rodriguez and Mimi's Dad. Everyone else I sadly do not own…but I do have them locked in my closet! evil laughter
Behind The Veil
Soft leather shoes could be heard scuffling down the halls of the Department of Mysteries, echoing along the stone passageway. Long dark navy blue robes swept behind the figure who was moving swiftly along, he turned a corner and he could begin to make out muffled voices coming from up ahead. He rounded the final corner to be faced with one of the biggest anomalies of the wizarding world, the Credendia curtain. It was a veil, silver in colour and quite ragged in places and seemingly quite old, but this veil had made a man disappear two months ago and had just recently started to give off a faint iridescent light that changed colour every so often, at the moment it was a pale pink in hue, highlighting the silhouettes of the five other people surrounding it. The newcomer came in and stood near the centre of the group who were waving their wands in intricate patterns in the air and examining the magical charts that popped up. He gave a quick look to the curtain but then turned to a wizard on his left
"Anything new Remus?" Said the man, turning once again to face the curtain. Remus shook his head
"No Sir, we've been monitoring this damn thing all week and, apart from the light getting brighter, nothing about it seems to be different." He sighed and ran his fingers through his thinning hair. The rest of the group stopped what they were doing to converse with Remus and Albus Dumbledore.
"You know, this bloody curtain gets right boring when all it does is glow…!" Tonks (who was currently sporting a blonde Mohawk) exclaimed as she rubbed her eyes "It's enough to make a person go blind!" She stretched and leaned on a nearby pillar, closing her eyes in a vain attempt to relax. Severus Snape spoke in a low tone to the group
"If you will excuse me I have some other matters to attend to, Albus" He said turning to the headmaster "I do not believe that we are making efficient use of our time, we should be searching for You Know Who not puttering around with this god forsaken rag." He sneered at the group "It has been two months…he will not come back." With that he turned on his heel and strode out of the Department. For a moment there was silence as they considered his words, but the reverie was broken by Alistor Moody who, gruffly as always, spoke up
"What crawled up 'is ass?" They all looked at him with a mix of disgust and confusion "What?" he questioned "We all know 'e 'ated Sirus but there's no use being a bloody sod about it!"
"Yes that was uncalled for," said Kingsley tiredly "But he does make a good point. Nothing has happened with the curtain and we all could be using our time a little more wisely…" He trailed of with a yawn
Dumbledore sighed "Very well then…I trust your judgement. It was probably just a blind hope that Sirus would return somehow…" he paused reflectively "If you wish you may go, I am sorry I pushed you so hard these past few days. I will see you when we call the order together again, until then farewell." One by one the group left to their respective homes until only Remus and Dumbledore were left by the veil, which was now glowing a sort of silver colour. They both stood there staring at it, remembering. Remus started to turn away and put a comforting hand on his shoulder, he was about to leave when they both heard a soft buzzing, no, humming from behind the veil they both were blown back a few paces as the silver light grew so strong that it blinded them both for a moment.
When they could see again they could just make out the silhouette of a person behind the veil, although their sight could only do so much good as the humming grew to a deafening roar. Both of them ran up to as close as they dared only to be blasted back by another shaft of silver light. As they were blasted back Remus felt something collide with his upper torso, causing him to fall with said object on top of him. His eyes snapped open to reveal a girl, no more than 15 or 16, in muggle clothing, on top of him! She was carrying a rather large black bag which weighed her down considerably. As Remus did his best to get her off him, Dumbledore was examining the veil once again. It had stopped humming but had returned to the weak coloured glow once more. He turned back to Remus and their new…acquisition. Remus had rolled her onto her side (since her bag was on her back) and her arms and legs were askew with her dark hair covering most of her face, They were both at a loss for words
"Albus…" Remus said "How?" they both kneeled down beside the girl. "I'm not sure Remus, I'm not sure. But we may as well find out who we are speaking of." Dumbledore brushed the girls long dark hair aside to reveal a shocking sight….the girl was an amazing likeness to the late Sirus Black!
