Beyond the veil

To the other side
Disclaimer – no matter how much I wish for it, JK still owns it all. Except Harry's sister and Lupin's son. But I haven't got names for them yet.
Summery – What if when Sirius fell though the veil he didn't die but went to an alternate reality. A reality where he is not a wanted criminal but a hero, one where Lily and James were still alive. A place he has always wanted to be…with his friends.
I ducked Bellatrix's spell and laughed at her. "Come on you can do better then that!" I yelled, my voice echoed around the whole room.
She shot another spell at me and it hit me square in the chest. The laughter hadn't died from my face, my eyes widened in shock. It felt like forever, I was just falling, I saw everyone look at me. I didn't hit the floor, I fell though the veil. I knew it was over but all I could think about was Harry. It went all black. I saw nothing. So this is what it's like to be dead. I thought.
I shot out of the veil and though the ministry, I went right above London and flew away from it. After about 5 minutes in saw Godric's hallow. I flew right though the front door and into the kitchen. I didn't know what had just happened, because I was standing in front of Harry. This house was beautiful. I walked over to Harry. He was sitting at the table doing his homework. "Harry." I said walking up to him.
Harry's head stop up and looked around. "Who's there?" He asked looking confused.
"It's me Sirius."
"Who?"
James walked into the room. "You alright Harry?"
"Yeah, I'm just hearing things." He said with a little chuckle.
"You're not hearing things." I said.
James looked around a bit confused. "Padfoot?"
"Yep, here Prongs. Can't you see me? I'm standing right behind Harry."
James looked round and saw nothing. Harry jumped out of his seat and ran over to his dad. While they were looking at where Sirius said he was a hand and a torso appeared. Harry let out a scream and Lily came running in. when she saw this she pulled out her wand and stood in front of Harry. "Don't worry Lils; I'm not going to hurt him." I said sitting down.
Once I had fully appeared I just sat there looking at them. They all looked great, they really suited each other. They were all just staring at me. "Boo." I said slowly.
They all jumped and I just laughed my head off. Lupin walked into the room followed closely by a little boy about the age of 8. Lupin stopped dead in his tracks. "Aren't ghosts supposed to be see through." Lupin asked no one in particular.
"Yeah they are." I replied.
"Then why can't we see through you?"
"Well, I guessing because I'm not a ghost, but that's just a wild guess."
"Sounds like him, Moony; he's a bit more sarcastic."
"Well, I don't like to break your little chat but where the hell am I?"
"We'll tell you but afterwards you have to promise to tell us how you got here." Lily said.
"Sure Lils."
We all sat down and Harry took Lupin's kid out to the garden to play. "Well there was this prophecy made about Harry and Voldemort. Well Voldemort came to kill Harry but he came while we were having a party. The party was to celebrate Albus' birthday. All of a sudden death eaters came poring in from each direction. We managed to stop them but we found out who their target was. It was Harry. Voldemort went straight for him. Albus and frank Longbottem manage to push him away and he retreated. We knew straight away that Wormtail had betrayed us and sold us off to Voldemort. Sirius, well you went after him and saw him in a street full of muggles. He blew up the street but you managed to stop him from getting away, you were about to kill him when 20 or so ministry workers appeared on the scene. They were arresting him when he pulled put one of their wands and used the killing curse on you while your back was turned, you dodged it and made sure he got a really good sentence. He got 50 years with no bail, for being a death eater and using the killing curse." She said.
"Wow. Different." Was all I could say.
"That's not all." James butted in. "We left Harry with Lily's best friend but she turned out to be a death eater. You went around to see her and about to kill Harry was Voldemort. You duelled with him and you died protecting Harry. We got there just as he killed you. He went to kill Harry but the curse rebounded upon him instead, and Harry was left with just that scar. For your actions you received order of Merlin 1st class. Now it's your turn to talk."
"As I promised." I said, and I told them everything about Lily dying protecting Harry and everyone thought it was him. He told them how he killed Wormtail in the street. How he went to Azkaban. Also what happened in the room.
"So you've been looking out for my son."
"Yeah."
"Thanks Padfoot."
A little girl came downstairs and ran up to her mum and showed her the picture she just drew. "Well done Amy, now I would like you to meet someone." Lily said picking up the little girl. "This is uncle Sirius." Lily said pointing at me.
"Uncey Siri." The little girl giggled.
"Go and get your brother for me please."
"Kay, mummy."
"So how old is she?" I asked.
"Almost 9." James said proudly.
Harry came in moments later followed by that other boy. "Yes, you wanted me mum?" Harry asked.
"Yes, I would like you to meet someone."
"Who?"
"This is your uncle Sirius. Your dads best friend in school. They called him Padfoot."
"So he's Padfoot. He doesn't live up to the legend."
"What legend?" I asked.
"The famous Marauders of course."
"Yes, we really left our mark on that school, didn't Prongs?"
"Yep, good old days."
They both laughed. Lily made them shut up after a while. "Sirius this is Jamie, he is Remus' son. He's 8, and not a werewolf"
"So what year are you in Harry?"
"I'm starting my 6th this year. That's a point, mum we have to go Diagon alley tomorrow."
"Ok, well it's late, off to bed kids." Lily said.
Me, Lily, James and Remus spent all night talking and at about 1 in the morning Amy came down complaining about the noise and said she couldn't sleep because of it, so we all went to bed. They were kind enough to let me have the guest room. After a couple of minutes I fell asleep realising that I was in my perfect heaven. I had my friends back.
