Do You Believe…?

"is it possible for a spirit to haunt not a home but a person?"

"it is very rare, but if the spirit has a very strong attachment to the person, yes..."

"could he still remain, still interact with the living?"

"if that person is holding him back from oblivion, yes."

"i think Sirius Black is haunting my bedroom..."

"...?"

plot: set during the summer after OotP. Harry becomes depressed and begins thinking of suicide when a certain ghost invades his life...

Sirius comes back as a ghost to help Harry and Remus through their loses, only not like the ghosts at Hogworts but REAL ghosts! the kind you can't see and get a chill up your spine if they're in the same room and all that? flashes of light, objects suddenly missing or moving on their own, a shadow across the wall, noises from an empty space...

i THINK our house is haunted at the moment so that's really what inspired this. that and the fact that i KNOW my aunt's house is haunted by my grandma- y'know, that sorta happens if a person slowly dies in a place where there's alot of attachments, right? right! so, i would like to thank my family for finally becoming useful! YAY for family!

also YAY for the movie Ghost, from where i got some really killer ideas! YAY!

*BTW i was watching an old McDonald's commercial when i thought up this plot so it's only right to name it after the theme song, no? "do you believe in magic? and i hope you do. see a _____ ____ ___ wearing big red shoes!" -okay, so it's a little choppy! so! SO!!!

Rating: a nice big R, just to be safe for the other chapters…

WARNING!: THERE ARE GOING TO BE MAJOR OotP (ORDER OF THE PHOENIX) SPOILERS, SO YOU ARE BEING WARNED NOW! OH, AND CUSSING! LOTS OF CUSSING IN THE FIRST CHAPTER…

ENJOY!

chapter one spoiler:

there was a small, top-less lamp on the bed side table with black framed picture of a black haired boy with glasses and a scar, a red head boy with too many freckles on his left and a girl with curly brown hair on his right. all three were smiling and flicking off the camera. a small red haired girl, probably only a year younger than the three, kneeled in front of them and held up a sign saying "we WUV Snuffles!". all four were laughing so hard tears were forming.

ALSO! I have a fic out there called "the Weapon and her Dragons" which I won't be updating for a while if this one does good- if "the Weapon and her Dragons" starts to do good I'll just hafta try and balance the two! Anyways, please read and review the first chapter!

CIAO!
