The Veil

Chapter 1

Remus and Harry

A/N: This is a bit of a teaser for my story really because the chapter isn't that long. I hope you will tell me what you think!

"There has to be a way... He couldn't have just upped and vanished!" Harry shouted at Remus.

Remus sighed. The boy was clearly in denial and he couldn't understand why his notions sounded so silly. Don't crush his hope, Remus reminded himself, at least he has some left. "So, if you say that Sirius is still alive, just merely stuck...What should we do about it?" he asked Harry.

Harry looked confused. "Well, where does the veil lead to?"

"Limbo?"

Harry looked very thoughtful. Then he thought, What about just opening the veil? He decided to voice his opinions to his newly adopted 'godfather.'

"Hmm... I don't think anyone has. They are too afraid to see what may happen. Maybe you're on to something."

Harry grinned. He looked just like his father when he grinned like that, Remus had to look away, he was hurting too bad to focus on two of his best friends' deaths. "We're going to pull him out."

"Whoa Harry, shouldn't we think this out a bit before we go and open the veil?" Remus was admittedly skeptical. Harry was just deciding to open the veil without thinking of what could be lost, that could most definitely jeopardize his life. Harry was being rash, something that everyone warned him not to be.

Harry sighed. "But I miss him Remus... I know it's going out on a limb but I want him back. Can we please just open it and see?" Harry looked up at Remus with hopeful eyes.

Remus looked at Harry's eyes. You'd think, at first glance anyway, that there was just hope in those eyes. But if you looked closer you'd see sadness, love, and doubtfulness. Remus sighed in defeat and nodded his head. "Yes, Harry. We can try." Harry's eyes brightened up considerably.

Remus and Harry met at the Department of Mysteries an hour after the confrontation. In Harry's hands were a rope and his wand. Remus had the same in his hands. They walked up to the veil.

Remus breathed in sharply when he saw the veil. The last time he saw it was when Sirius fell through it. He missed his friend and even he wanted this outlandish plan to work out.

Harry smiled as he walked towards the veil, Remus in tow. He was about to see his godfather again, hopefully.

Remus looked at Harry. "Are you ready?" he asked. Harry nodded vigorously. Remus pulled out his wand and pointed it at the veil. "Pateo."

The veil opened. What Harry and Remus saw shocked them a lot. There was a swirling vertex that spiraled upward. They saw bodies pass occasionally. They got the rope ready.

When they saw Sirius's body they managed to get the rope around his body. Harry started to pull and his hands almost slipped, but Remus started to pull too. They pulled the body out and the veil snapped shut.

Harry and Remus ran over to the body. He groaned and sat up. "Oi, where am I?" he said. "Oh, this is totally not groovy."

Remus gasped. Harry and Remus were staring at fifteen-year-old Sirius Black.

A/N: So, what did you think? These chapters will get longer I promise! And just to remind you, I am not a mind reader so you need to REVIEW! thank you!
