A second change

Harry sat on the couch in front of the grate-fire of the common room.

He was looking at pictures from the photo book that Hagrid gave him four years ago. He turned a page and saw a photograph of him when he was around six months. He was sitting on the lap of Sirius and laughed when Sirius made a funny face at him. Under the photo stood: godson and godfather. When Harry looked at Sirius he felt tears running down his cheeks. It was been three days now since…, he still couldn't even say it in his mind. He would give everything to just see him one more time, to just hug him one more time. He never told Sirius how much he meant to him, how grateful he was that he had him and how good he was as a godfather. When he just thought about that he felt tears again.
"Harry?" a voice asked. Harry turned around and saw Ron standing in his PJ's.
"Are you alright?" Ron said when he sat down beside Harry.
Harry wanted to say "I am fine," but he knew that Ron wouldn't believe that, so he shrugged his shoulders.
Ron looked at the photo and smiled. "You two seem like you were already very close when you were a baby."
"Yes we were," said Harry.

"You have to go to sleep, it is already eleven o'clock," Ron said.

"Why are you not asleep yet?" Harry asked.

"I was asleep but Neville was snoring and I woke up and I didn't saw you lie in your bed," Ron said.
He smiled and said: "I couldn't sleep."
"You also don't eat anymore too, that is not healthy," Ron said worried. "Ok, I will try to sleep," Harry said.
"Good," Ron said. They went upstairs, wished each other goodnight and quietly so they didn't woke up the others stepped in their beds.
Harry suddenly felt very tired and he was asleep within 10 seconds.

Fog. That was all that Harry saw. He couldn't see that he was in a room, on a street or in a forest. There was only fog. He didn't know that he was dreaming or not. Suddenly he saw a form coming towards him.
Then when the form was close enough so that Harry could see his face, Harry's hart swelled with joy. It was Sirius. Sirius spread his arms and Harry jumped in them. "I am so sorry," he said.
"Don't be it wasn't your fault," Sirius said.
"Am I dreaming?" Harry asked.
"Yes, you are," Sirius said.

"I miss you Sirius," Harry said quietly.
"I miss you too, but we are never far apart, all we have to do is think of each other," Sirius said with a sad smile and gave Harry a kiss on his crown. "Besides, i will always be rigth here," he continued when he placed a hand on Harry's heart.
"I know that but it is hard," Harry said. Sirius wanted to answer but suddenly there was a strong wind that blew his words away. It was like everything was fading away. He couldn't see Sirius anymore, he wanted to scream but there came no sound out his mouth. He couldn't see anything. Everything was dark…
