A.N. Im back! Maybe not for long, who knows… but this idea came to my head, so here we are! Usual disclaimer, im not typing up all that again!
2nd May, 1999.
"Mr Black, I assume you have now completed your mission?"
"I… I think so."
Lady Heart was quietly amused with the apprehension gracing the faces of her subjects. Awaiting behind the veil and guiding spirits through the issues preventing them from moving to the afterlife was a gruelling role at times, but adopting a Dumbledore-esque persona eased the task. She liked to scare the half-dead; only a little, when they first stumbled into her office through the glimmering curtain. Assuming the appearance of a loved one seemed a good way to accomplish this, and was extremely easy considering the fact that Lady Heart was far from human. Sirius Black behaved similarly to others when he had clambered to his feet and looked into the face of Lily Evans – or Lily Potter, she did marry James after all.
"You think so? Mr Black, you have been my longest running client. You have been wandering through my lands for the better part of three years. I surely hope you have reached the right conclusion and I can push you back through the sodding thing, I don't think I can stand the sight of you much longer."
"Alright, no need to get shirty. Well, it's something to do with Lily. It has to be, that's why you look like her. At first I thought it was Harry."
Lady Heart sighed. Not this again. Did the former prankster never learn?
"But then I realised, he doesn't need me. He loves me, but is coping just fine. So, this must be about my ex girlfriend."
A smile played at both of their lips. It was as though they both knew it was the conclusion of the trip. As much as she berated Sirius, and he was happy to be rejoining his old life without Lady Heart checking over his shoulder, it was a sad prospect for both to finally say goodbye. Sirius certainly had been wandering through her lands for some time.
"I have to get her back. She can't live without me."
"As much as I would hate to inflate your already gigantic head, I have to admit you are right. Your death has hit her very hard. So, ready?"
Without waiting for an answer, she grasped at his robes and threw Sirius Black through the magical portal whilst wiping a solitary tear from her eye. She had grown rather attached to him. She wasn't called Lady Heart for nothing.
A.N. Opinions? You know what to do… stay beautiful.
