I do not own Harry Potter at all, I do not profit from this.

"It's okay Harry love, I won't hurt you."

"I trust you Sirius."

My job is done. The Dark Lord is dead, finally and Sirius, you told me that if anything happened to you that I should move on, you made me promise. I'm finding it so hard to keep my promise. I don't want to let go of you, our memories, what we had.

"Sirius, should we really be doing this?"

"Should it matter?"

"You're right."

"Hm."

"You've always been right."

I don't want to be here, Sirius. They ask too much. But you asked me too so sure; I'll stay and be their perfect little Savior forever. Sure, I'll marry Ginny and cling onto our failing relationship, at least on my part. Sure, I'll stand and watch as everyone moves on. Sure, you can leave me behind, I won't go anywhere.

"Sirius, please, I need this."

"Sirius, kiss me."

"Sirius, it hurts."

"Sirius, I love you."

I shake the Minister's hand with my left and hold onto Ginny's with my right. I smile and wave, I joke and laugh, I lie and lie, I do it to keep my promise. It's one of the only things you truly asked of me. Hello Bill, how's Fleur, how's the baby? Ron, good to see you mate, have you popped the question yet? George, oh I see you're dating Angelina?

"I promise Sirius."

"Do you Harry?"

"Yes, I do."

"Good love, come here and let me kiss you."

Baby, I'm still keeping my promise. Ginny is pregnant. She hopes it's a boy. She doesn't know this is tearing me apart. Do you feel betrayed? I feel like I'm betraying you. Baby I don't think I can do this any longer. I feel like I'm dying inside. Ginny and I are to be married in only two weeks time.

"Harry, do you care what others would think, about this?"

"To be frank, yes I do, but as long as you're with me, I think I'll manage."

I wonder how long it'll take for them to realize that I've just stood Ginny up. I wonder if they've found my letter by now. I pace back and forth in front of it- the Veil- and I can hear your voice telling me to stop. Telling me to go back to Ginny. My mind's set on this now, and we both know how stubborn I am.

"God Harry, you're making me go crazy!"

"Harry what do you say to another romp in the sheets?"

"Harry love, it's time to wake up."

"Harry, I love you more than anything."

Finally I leap, flying through the Veil. Following my heart that had already passed through it almost nine years before. Baby I've broken my promise, but I've never been happier.

"Harry, I'll wait forever if I have to."

Sorry guys, the bunnies attacked and I had to simply write this. It's like a form of release for me. Hope you enjoyed it.
