Chapter 1 – Nevermore

June 1996

"Harry…. Tell Marlene I love her and our daughter" Sirius' voice slowly faded away and he disappeared through the veil. He was gone, leaving his pregnant wife, his unborn, his friends, and him, Harry, his godson behind. Harry turned around to face the person responsible for this gruesome deed and faced her. Bellatrix Lestrange, Sirius own Cousin had shamelessly killed him and chanted it aloud, so everyone heard it. Harry didn't think, he just took off after her, breaking free from Remus' grip on him, attempting to hold him back, to keep him safe. But it was no use, Harry was to furious with this particular human being that caused him so much Pain by taking this last bit of family that was left….

Several Hours Later at Grimmauld Place 12

Remus slowly approached his dear old friend, Marlene; the now widowed Ms. McKinnon-Black. Ever since Remus and his wife came back to pick up their son Teddy, she asked desperately where Sirius was. He didn't come back. But he couldn't tell her this, nor could his wife, Tonks. But he… someone had to. It was cruel enough that he had been ripped away from her. But letting her clueless was even more unfair to her. So he did his best and tried to choose the right words to tell one of his close friends, that his best friend-that happened to be her husband- died… lured into a trap set up by the dark wizard himself.

"Remus, Tonks… Please, Oh Merlin Please just tell me if he will come back… if... if he will be able to see our daughter…" Marlene sat on the ground shaking uncontrollably, sobbing into her hands which she held in front of her face to shut out the world that caused her such deep emotional pain of loss and sorrow. Tonks was not able to watch her and did what no words could describe. She sat Teddy down on the couch again and wrapped her arms around the woman that could barely catch a breath through her sniffling. Remus touched by the way his wife comforted her, though he knew they had a little fight just a mere day ago, knelt down beside them and side-hugged Marlene, telling her how Sorry he was about Sirius' death.

They sat like that for a little while longer grieving for their dear friend, best man, best friend, loving husband and soon had been father, until 2 months old Teddy started whimpering on the couch and Remus had to calm him down. Strangely he was rather skilly doing this and in no time Teddy was asleep.

"Remus ?" Marlene found the strength and spoke up, placing one of her small now fragile looking hands on his shoulder facing the ground to her feet, "I really appreciate you to come and tell me about… to tell me… I… I just need… some time alone" She was about to break down again and before she had to say more to be left alone, Remus merely nodded and Tonks kissed her cheek before they left through the front door of Grimmauld Place 12, disapparating as soon as the door was closed.

Marlene was left alone for now… as long as no order member decided it was time to get something done here.

She sat down at the table in the kitchen, conjuring a cup of tea to calm her down. She was grieve-stricken, sorrowful, terrified, afraid of being alone. She remembered so many times he did more dangerous things than that. But he always came back. Deep within she hoped it was all just a dream, but unfortunately it wasn't.
That she had to admit as soon as the Weasleys arrived because Harry wanted to talk to her.

They all took a seat on the long table and Molly made some tea, the muggle-way, to distract herself. Sure she was more than just often fighting with Sirius, but his death still hit her. Letting the upcoming / ongoing war, seem too real than anyone ever wanted. And when the tea was finished, she silently left the room taking Arthur with her to let them be on their own with each other.

"Marlene…" Harry quietly spoke, "Sirius…. He… Padfoot wanted me to…. He wanted me to tell you… wanted to let you know…" Harry continued to stumble across the mess of words that escaped his mouth, but before he even finished his rambling Marlene got up from her stool and pulled Harry into a hug, as big as her pregnant-belly let it become. She drew a deep breath before she could be sure not to stutter or break down in tears while speaking and worsening the situation for both of them…"Harry, I know he was all you had left, I know it is unfair you couldn't have the life you dreamed of with Sirius, I…I know it is hard… I know how it feels to loose someone you hold dear. Nearly everyone does." Taking a shaky breath she continued her words. Though they were not only meant for Harry, but also for herself now. Encouraging them, to keep going. "I know Harry. Wherever he is now, I'm sure he's watching over us to make sure we keep going. To make sure we don't give up. To make sure… To make sure that… "

No matter how much she tried to hold back the tears, she couldn't anymore. Now they were uncontrollably cascading down her cheeks, flushing her cheeks, letting it all go. She clung to Harry and cried with all the sorrow and dread she felt from this nights events. Harry couldn't grasp on words fitting the situation they found themselves in as well and just stood there with her, silently crying through the pain.
