CHAPTER TWO

For what seemed like forever, Sirius had been floating in… nothingness he supposed. But just as he was looking for a way out a hole opened up and he fell straight thru it and hit the ground with a thud.

"Did he just fall from there? No one's come thru there in ages" one voice said.

"Yes he did fall from there. How did that happen?" Another voice came.

Sirius was still lying on his back when he asked "What's there and where's here?"

"That's the passage way from the veil. And this, my friend is the Wizarding afterlife" came the first voice. Sirius was not sure if he wanted to yell or cry, he felt like doing both but knew he had to keep a grip. Harry had seen him fall and he could hear Harry calling Sirius' name. Fear and sadness started to rise in him, what was supposed to happen now? He thought.

"I'm Merve and this is Boris" said the first voice that was named Merve. Merve reached out his hand to help Sirius up.
"Sirius Black" Sirius replied grabbing hold of the proffered hand "Just wondering, is this where every witch and wizard come when they die?" he asked.

"Sure is, why looking for someone are you?" asked the man named Boris.

"Yeah I am actually. James and Lily Potter" Sirius replied looking around.
"Go down the street and then turn left. Look for the last place they lived in" Merve said "It was nice meeting you" he continued.

"Yeah you too" Sirius yelled back as he sped off down the street. He needed some answers, he knew by what Merve and Boris had said it wasn't a usual way for people to die so there had to be a way back to Harry. This was not the end of Sirius Black he thought to himself. He turned the corner and came to a halt in front of a familiar house.

"No James, it's not fair. You heard them, the veil No way" he heard the sweet familiar voice of Lily Potter.

"I don't know Lily but why would his house be here?" he heard James replied. Sirius wasn't sure if he should knock or not, so he just stood there. The door then flew open and Lily came running out and jumped into his arms sobbing.

"Oh Padfoot" was all she could manage to say between the sobs. James just stood there with a sad expression on his face and his hand on Sirius' shoulder
