OK, this is the last chapter of this story. But it's not the end! There's a sequel for this. Actually the sequel is the original story that I had in mind but I must write this one so you know what happened. The sequel named as 'Finding All the Powers Within".

Chapter Ten: She Loves you, Do You Love Me?

"The Ministry of Magic wishes you a pleasant day." The woman's voice echoed in the old phone booth. Sam tried with all the power within her not to cling at Sirius' arm. She was anxious and minutes by minutes she felt more nerves in her body twitched in the uneasiness of the situation. 'What would I feel if Sirius wasn't here?' she thought. 'Certainly, pass out.' She answered herself.

"Don't worry, nothing going to happen, I'm just right here, and going nowhere." Sirius whispered as he put his arm around her waist. Sam nodded.

"I know, but I couldn't help being a little anxious. You know, I'm not a Gryffindor." Sam said with a weak smile.
They stepped into the atrium of the Ministry of Magic and walk toward the security guard. The guard stopped them and asked for their wands. Sirius pulled out his wand and offered it to the man, while Sam was thinking fast to find an excuse for not having a wand and don't blow up the fact that she wasn't a witch. Harry supposed to come with them, and they supposed to floo directly into Harry's office, but in the middle of the night he was called in an emergency and hadn't returned since then. So they both had to come as normal visitors.

"No need John, they're with me." They all turned around to found Harry standing not far away from them, in his Auror robe. He looked tired, but happy nonetheless.
Sam released the breath she was holding and traded a look with Sirius. The guard gave a salute to Harry which he returned by inclining his head, then beckoned Sam and Sirius to follow him. Harry and Sirius were explaining every part and section to Sam in low voices as they walked through halls, corridors and floors until they reached a huge polished mahogany door.

"Ok. We're here." Harry pulled out his wand and put its tip on a little hole in the middle of the door. The hole shone for a fraction of second, before the door cracked open with a low click. Harry opened the door wide and held it for the other two to step in the room. They, both exchanged on last look, took a deep breath before stepped in.

"Ahhhh! That was a hell of a meeting…" Sirius looked down at his watch "oh good God, it took FOUR hours?"

"Yeah, but now you're un-deceased and free man to walk through streets undisturbed." Hermione said as she walked out of the room.

"But I think you should wait for a couple of days then show up. Let's wait people heard the news and absorbed it." Harry said.

"You mean only in wizarding world right? Cause I want to go to London right now, with Sam." Sirius said with a childish pout on his lips.

They chuckled at his antics. "Yes, you can go to London…but keep it low and don't make chaos." Harry softly said.

"Sir, yes sir!" Sirius gave a mocking salute and turned toward Sam; "Coming? You're not tired, are you?"

"Nah, let's go you big puppy." Sam laughed.

"Alright, Lady and gentleman I wish you a very pleasant and happy day…shall we ma'm?" Sirius said happily as he waved to Harry and Hermione and offered his arms to Sam. Sam laughed and put her hands around Sirius' arm. "Bye."

"He looks happier since two days ago." Hermione observed silently as she and Harry watched the two figures retreat.

"Yeah, after nearly two decades he's accepted."

"Ok, let's go find my dear husband. I hope he doesn't eat all our foot."

"Sir?" someone was shaking his shoulder; "Sir? Your son is here."

Sirius opened his eyes and looked at the person who was towering him. He blinked several times to clear his mind and vision and straightened in the chair he was sitting and looked around. He was in a white room and smelled sterile and beside his chair was a hospital bed. All of these were no matter. The important thing was who occupied the bed. Sam lied there unconscious and the masked on her bruised faced was fogged as she breathe slowly. His heart ached at the sight of her, and felt the tears at the corner of his eyes.
Sirius turned to the nurse who wakes him. The nurse smiled softly "Sir, your son is here, and wants to see you and his mother."

He blinked in confusion before everything down on him. 'RY!' Sirius looked at Sam's unmoving figure before nodding. The nurse gave his shoulder a reassuring squeeze before stepped out of the room. Less than a minute the door cracked open slowly and tear-stained face of Ry poked in. His currently pale face became paler at the sight of his mother.

"Harry?"

He looked at Sirius before slowly walked toward him. Sirius opened his arms and Ry flew into them and buried his face into the broad chest.
"What happened?" His sound was muffled. Sirius sighed, pulled him into his lap and held him tighter as the little boy cry. A tear silently fell down from his cheek as he swallowed the lump in his throat before said "A drunk driver have lost control of his car and came into the sidewalk, exactly where Sam was standing and waiting for me out of a shop." They fell silent and it was about ten minutes or so that Ry's sobbing decreased.

"She will be ok, right?" He asked hoarsely.

"Yeah, she'll be fine." Sirius kissed the dark hair beneath his chin. "She loves you, and she won't leave you any time soon."

Ry pulled away a little and looked into the blue-gray eyes that looked so much like his own, sincerely; "She loves you, too." Sirius smiled fondly.

"Yeah, she's a kind woman."

"No, I mean she really loves you. Not likes you."

"And how do you know?" Sirius asked with a wide smile and hope.

"She and I've slept in a same room for the past couple of days, you know. Let's say…she talks…in her sleep…a lot!"

Sirius laughed lightly. "Really?"

"Really!"

And at that moment as for confirmation a low moan came from the bed. In an instance the both males were at her side. She didn't wake up just mumbled something in her sleep that was muffled by her oxygen mask. "…'R'…S'is"

Harry looked up at Sirius and smirked; "See, I told you."

"Yeah…yeah you told me…but…" he said faintly. He looked down at Sam's pale face while he caressed the back of her hand with his thumb.

"So…it's ok if I call you dad?" Ry asked innocently.

"What?" Sirius' head snapped up. He felt like fainting from shocked and happiness.

"Call you dad. Well if you marry mom, you will be my dad." He said matter-of-factly. The only thing that Sirius could do was gaped at the boy before him and acted like a little fish. Ry started to shake him by his shoulder after five minutes that he just stared at him unblinkingly. "Are you ok? Dad? Sirius? Oh God, don't you dare die of shock." Finally Sirius sobered.

"Harry?" He said, still shocked, but in control "I really do love to be your dad, but…but it depends on your mom too…it's not as simple as you think, I wish it was…but it's not…I really hope your mom accept me easily as you do." The pain in his chest was too much that he had to close his eyes.

"But I know she loves you." Harry insisted.

"Loving someone is very different from marry someone, Harry. Maybe your mom loves me, but it doesn't mean that she will marry me. I wish she would…I hope she will…but I'm not sure."

"Why? Why she doesn't want to marry you? You two are perfect, the best. And I love you both." Ry murmured crest fallen.

"Well, because she has this really important responsibility, which she likes…, she has to consider. I know if I were her I would do the same."

"What responsibility?"

"You!"

"But…but I'm ok with that. I love you and I want you two to get married."

Sirius smiled softly; "Look Ry, our worlds are different and your mom think my world will hurt you, not physically. Magic is too tempting."

"But even my best friend is a wizard." Ry protested.

"I know and I know this fact that I can leave my world and learn to live as a muggle as long as I'm with you and I can meet Harry and others. That's all I want; be with whom I love dearly…but you're mother can be a stubborn woman…I just hope she'll listen to my solutions for the problems."

"We make her listen...we will win" Ry said with determination.

Sirius laughed heartily and ruffled Ry's hair. "Here's my son."

"When she wakes up?" Ry asked with a broad grin.

"I don't know…miss her?"

"No, I want to talk to her...I mean we must talk to her sooner."

"In hurry, aren't we?" Sirius teased.

"Yeah, and I don't like see her like this. It's a little sad and disturbing."

"Want to go to Café downstairs to drink something?" Sirius suggested.

"Yeah, sure." Ry jumped down from Sam's bedside and took the offering hand of Sirius. They went out of the room and left a patient behind who smiled knowingly in her…let's say fake…sleep.
