Bellatrix anxiously looked around the corner leading to her room. 'This is stupid,' she thought 'Sirius is dead. He cannot come back.'

Her thoughts were interrupted by a chilling voice. "Am I dead, cousin? Or is that what you're thinking?"

"Who's there?" Bellatrix demanded, pulling out her wand.

A ghostly figure stood in front of her. Yet he was not transparent.

She stumbled backwards. "You're dead!" she stammered. "I k-killed you!"

"No!" Sirius shouted. He let his robes sway in a slight breeze before continuing. "The Veil is what killed me, Bellatrix. You just added an extra push. But they're ghosts who say that you were meant to pass through the Veil, not me. The ghosts say so."

Bellatrix aimed her wand at Sirius with shaking hands. "Go away."

"No. It is your fate to pass through the Veil. You will go through and I will be waiting for you," said Sirius.

There was a bright light and then he was gone.

"I'll show you!" Bellatrix shouted, her voice a little weak. "I'm not going to pass through the Veil. Not. . . Not now! Not ever!"

But her heart didn't agree with her ego.
