Chapter 3

"Sirius! Remus!" Harry yelled getting up and running over to them, "What are you doing here?"

Sirius grinned, giving Harry a one-armed hug.

"Good to see you too, pup."

"We're here to help protect the castle." Remus explained trying, and failing, to control Sirius, "Though I'm not sure how much help this ones going to be!" He looked over his shoulder to see Sirius making faces over his shoulder.

"I swear he never grew up." McGonagall muttered walking up to them with the rest of the staff and most of the student behind her.

"Grow up!" Sirius yelped looking scandalised, "Why would anyone do that Minnie?"

"Be careful Mr Black. I can still put you in detention for calling me that."

"As always!" Sirius grinned infectiously, beaming around to share his happiness in simply living, "Man it's good to be back."

************************Sirius POV**********************

They haunt me. Every where I go they're there; laughing at some idiotic joke, planning a prank, dreaming abut impossible things in perfect worlds.

"How did I know I'd fid you here?" I look up and meet beautiful familiar eyes,

"Because we shared an irreplaceable bond that allows us to find each other no matter where?" I replied smiling sadly, this wasn't the first time I'd had waking dreams abut her, and I was waiting to wake up and realise that it was still all over and the bond broken.

"Why past tense?" She smiled but her eyes glinted in hurt,

"You left. You promised you wouldn't but you did."

"Sorry!."

Anger coursed through me, the sting came back and my heart rolled in the remembrance of a pain unlike any other,

"Don't you dare! I stood up for you, I believed in you! My brother told me you'd leave." Tears were in my eyes as I screamed at someone only I could see, in a corner of the castle that only I remembered, "He said that you weren't for real and you know what, I kicked him out, said I didn't want anything to do with him. I told him that you were my family now! And then you left! In the middle of the night, you left! You betrayed me."

Tears were in her eyes as she looked at me,

"I know I did. But here is my promise; I swear I will make it up to all of you. I swear!"

She reaches out to me, asking for acceptance and to share comfort in the pain of the darkness we both faced. I want to reach out as well. To take her hand and face the darkness together, hand in hand, united and healed. Whole once more. Oh how I want to accept, but then comes the pain, and more then that remembering having to see him in pain, the consequences of her actions were more then just our pain. Her actions led to his death.

"Leave me alone. GO!" I woke to see Harry's worried face hovering over me,

"Sirius, are you okay?" Harry asks. Harry; James's son; James and Lily's son.

"I'm fine Pup." I say turning away from him, "It was just a dream."

***********************Normal POV*********************

The next morning was stormy and black.

"What I want o know is who he was dreaming about?" Hermione asked contemplating.

"Huh?" Harry asked staring at Seth as she laughed,

"Harry!" Hermione hit him with the book she was currently reading, making him finally pay attention.

"What makes you think he was talking about someone?" Harry asked, trying to form a coherent sentence while admiring the curve of Seth's throat. Hermione rolled her eyes and turned to Ron for support only to find him half asleep in his food,

"Honestly! What's the matter with you two?"

Ron jerked awake snorting with a muffled "Whut?"

Blinking stupidly for a few seconds before he was able to reply,

"That's what you get when you wake someone up at such a ridiculous time in the morning, 'Mione!" Ron said earnestly.

"Well," Hermione sniffed, slyly looking at Harry, "I don't think Harry minds getting up early enough to see Seth again."

Ron looked at Harry to see hi sitting with a slightly dazed look on his face.

"I'm sure Harry can survive."

**************************************Harry POV**********************************************

He would never get tired of looking pon her gorgeous features. Wondering what it would be like to rain kisses on her face, run his hands through her hair, rub his thumb against her cheek and fee her heart beating with his own.

It was that last thought that shook him awake; she was not a normal human girl, she may ot feel the same as him and he wasn't sure if she even had a heart beat. She was dangerous and wild and... completely out of his league.

But it was more then what she looked like; it ws the way she would look around as she laughed, as if she wanted to share her joy with the world. It was the way her mouth shaped out his name; as if it were something precious and tmpting. It was he way she understood completly how he felt about involving his friens in the war and always gave him good advice.

It was the way she was.

And even if she loved someone else right now,he would wait and love her from afar.

She was his dark and lonely angel, and he wanted to be her knight.
