Author notes: Hello, it's my first Sirius Black fiction. I am always in love with Sirius Black! But I am a Chinese, so my English is not very good. Feel free to comment and correct me!

Prologue

What does it mean to truly love another?

It is a complicated question I must say, but there was a time in my life, I think, I knew the answer. And now, as I was hit by Bellatrix Lestrange's spell and falling swiftly onto the ground, I once again, think I knew the answer.

"Mum? No Mum!"

They say you'll know, when your time has come, is it my time to go? If the answer is yes, I have no desire to stay. I shouldn't have any regrets either, should I? The son, no my son, has truly grown up and had found the girl he loved, maybe will have a child or two. Remus and Tonks finally got married and have a son. His name is Ted if I remember correctly. Oh no silly me, how can I forget about James and Lily's son?

The boy who lived, who is now no longer a boy. Some out there named him The Chosen One. I am sure James is going to be very jealous to know his son's got more nicknames then he had got. He is a strong and brave child, like his parents, with so many loyal friends, so I don't have to worry about him.

Now I can truly understand why Dumbledore can leave so broadly like this, though he did leave a mess for Harry to cover up, but he trusted him, didn't he? If Dumbledore trusted the boy, I do. Harry Potter is going to kill Voldement.

"Move away! Katie, Katie!"

I hear thunder like footstep; someone crouched down next to me. I am too tired to move, to even open my eyes to see who it is. I am, then, carried away.

"Oliver, look out!"

"Katie, we have to get out of here. I mean now."

"Stupefy"

"Protego"

"Go to the Common Room, Oliver. Ginny gave me the password."

There are loud explosion noise and the smell of ashes and smoke, finally, I am carried to somewhere familiar. I smile; I am in the Gryffindor common room, where everything started, where my time is going to end.

"Mum, can you hear me? Mum?"

"I love you, son, as much as I love your dad." I whisper to him.

"Don't say such thing, Mum, you are going to be all right." Oliver whimpers. The silly boy must be crying, his tears wet my forehead like raindrops. "Katie's Healer, she can fix it."

"Not when it's done by Dark Magic. I was a healer, too. Katie?"

"I'm here, Mrs. Wood?"

Oh dear, the silly girl is sobbing too.

"Take care of him."

"I swear Iwill."

Death is driving away my breath, I can feel it. He is weakening me.

"Don't mum. Dad's doing, Fred's doing it. Please mum, I will do anything." Oliver says.

"You are doing more than enough to me, boy. Mum's got to go, when your time comes, you will understand it."

"But—"

"Go out and fight along with the others, they need you." I say.

"No, I am staying—"

"Listen to me. Please, my last wish."

My sight has become cloudy, or maybe it is because of my tears, but I can still see Oliver nods, and walk out of the portrait with Katie Bell, my daughter-in-law.

It's hard to believe that I am going to end up here, where I grew up; where I met those I loved. The portraits in the room haven't change; it's still smell like the common room in my time.

"It's time." Death whispers in my ears.

My Hogwarts life memory comes back, those laughter, even James annoying voice of "Go out with me, Lily?", and Lily's objections "No a million time." Remus and Pettigrew used to sit on a side and laughed, but of course, their laughter were always cover by his roaring, thundering laughter.

Yes, he, Sirius Black. He's the reason of why I am Emily Wood not Emily Black. We used to be in love, and much more, but it's he who ends our relationships. Even I am dying now, I am to say that I love him, Sirius Black, and always will.

"Come." Death says, and I saw bright light, am I going to heaven?

"No." I said. "Tell you about a story before we go?"

"You shouldn't bargain with Death, but request of a story...understandable."

"My story actually, and I promise to leave nothing out."
