To those who have read my Xiaolin Showdown fanfics: Is it a surprise I'm not doing one? Yes, I'm still the JackxKimiko queen(in my head) but I loved a couple before them. So here is the ship I first shipped. SiriusxHermione.

To everyone: This is after OotP, but I'm ignoring HBP. I've read it, and didn't like the idea of Harry not coming back, so forget HBP.

Disclaimer: I do not own any characters in the Harry Potter books, or the song 'Slipped Away'. Avril Lavigne owns that song as far as I know.

I miss you

Miss you so bad

I don't forget you

Oh it's so sad

I hope you can hear me

I remember it clearly

I stared out the window of the girls dormitory. It was sometime around 10 pm. I told the boys I was going to bed early. The didn't care. As long as they had my homework sitting out so they could copy it, they didn't bother with asking why I was leaving them so early. Or why, in fact, I had let them copy.

"Sirius," I muttered. I could've sworn the stars winked at me when I said his name.

The day you slipped away

Was the day I found it won't be the same

Oh

I didn't get around to kiss you

Good-bye on the hand

I wish that I could see you again

I know that I can't

Oh

I hope you can hear me

Cause I remember it clearly

Was it possible for me to love someone who had been dead for two years? Of course not, the logical part of my brain said. You know he can't love you back, because he's dead! Oh how cruel that sounded.

Death isn't the end, love, my heart yawned sleepily. You know that. This all seemed confusing.

So what are you saying? You can't be suggesting reincarnation.

No, but-

"The veil," I said aloud. I walked to the door quickly, ignoring my brains fervent protests. I opened the door soundly, but paused. I listened carefully, making sure no one was down there. Somewhere in the tower a door shut. I guessed it was the boys dormitory door. So Ron and Harry had gone to bed.

I strolled back into the dormitory, and began rummaging through my suitcase. I found what I was looking for. I made sure I had bought Floo Powder in Diagon Alley before coming back to Hogwarts this year.

I left the dormitory once more, and walked into the common room. I opened the sack and through some floo into the fire. Green flames roared up at me as I stepped into them.

"The Ministry of Magic, Department of Mysteries." I said clearly.

The day you slipped away

Was the day I found it won't be the same

Oh

I've had my wake up

Won't you wake up

I keep asking why

And I can't take it

It wasn't fake it

It happened, you passed by

Whether or not I expected myself to land in one of the same rooms as that twisted day or not, I hadn't the faintest idea. I looked around. It wasn't the same room that contained the archway I so desperately looking for, but the on that held the brains. I walked towards the door, avoiding the container.

There I stood in the room of doors. I tried to remember behind which door the veil was. I closed my eyes to remember behind which door the veil was. I couldn't remember a thing. I opened my eyes to see a door in front of me. I didn't remember walking at all.

I walked in, and there it was. The veil. I was reluctant to move. I had seen this place so many times in my dreams. It all seemed to hit me. The fear I had then sank back in now. This was the place he died at.

Now you're gone

Now you're gone

Now you go

Now you go

Somewhere I can't bring you back

Now you're gone

Now you're gone

Now you go

Now you go

Somewhere you're not coming back

I lifted a leg, and began walking. My pace began to pick up. I was running now, but I stopped abruptly. I now stood in front of the veil itself.

"Sirius, can you hear me?" I asked the tattered cloth.

I could hear it now. I could hear the whispers and murmurs. I tried to see if I could distinguish Sirius's voice, or his dog like laugh.

An idea came to me. As far as I could remember, no one had touched the veil itself. I slowly raised my hand. My fingertips almost touched the veil when I could finally hear my thoughts. One of them made me stop.

Since when did Hermione Granger act so rash? What if when you touch this, you can't see Harry and Ron again? What if it kills you?

Death is only the beginning, I thought. With that, I threw my hand forward, and pulled back the veil. Nothing happened. No one was hiding behind it. There was nothing.

The day you slipped away

Was the day I found it won't be the same

No

The day you slipped away

Was the day I found it won't be the same

Oh

I miss you

A/N: No, I do not believe that Sirius is truly dead. But for this song, the way I interpreted it, told me that someone had died. And since I'm such a big supporter of this ship, I decided to leave Sirius the way he is. Unfortunately. Read and Review, please. If I get enough reviews, I may re-post a SBHG story I made a while back under the name of Lyra Parry.
