Disclaimer: I'm not J.k Rowling and am definitely not Sinead O'Connor who own Harry Potter and the song 'The wolf is getting married,' respectively.
A/N: By the way, there is a line in the book that Sirius says which I can't remember so I put down something close to what it is meant to be. And I can't check in the book because we are moving out of soon and I've already packed most of the stuff in my room to take with me. So if anyone knows the real quote, let me know and I will change it. And finally, thanks everyone who has been reading this and reviewing it as well!
…
Adrenaline is pumping through me.
I'm alert. I'm excited. I'm ready to fight.
Every single order member is here. Kingsley, Moody, Arthur, Remus and even Mundungus.
And suddenly I'm battling my cousin. She is crazier than before. Azkaban, obviously, is not everyone's mug of butterbeer.
Bellatrix is a good dueller. She's a Black after all, how could she not be?
I dodge the green light rocketing towards me and send back the same curse. Family loyalties only extend so far.
She doesn't know or maybe doesn't even care that I'm innocent and didn't deserve Azkaban. She doesn't care who I am fighting for. It's who I am fighting against. She just wants to hurt me because I'm fighting against her lord.
And the funny thing is, I don't give a damn. I'd fight the whole universe if it meant saving Harry.
Because he is our only hope in this black black world.
Because he is my godson.
Because I see my best mate in him.
Harry is the family and Bellatrix is the enemy. Family loyalties only extend so far.
And it feels like old times. It's like De Ja Vu. When I would go on order missions with Remus and James. We would fight for ourselves, for others and for those who had fallen.
"Good one James!" I yell out as I see a blur of black hair and round glasses in my peripheral.
Bellatrix is back with a vengeance. She was always the most determined of the three sisters. Cissy was the weak pretty one and Dromeda was the rebel. Bellatrix was the confident focussed one.
Her insane smile is reflected on my face – I'm sure of it.
We're both reaching our summits. One of us will have to succumb to the other.
She's sending another Avada at me and I dodge it. Easy.
But I'm falling…falling…the veil! I'm surprised more than worried. I lock my eyes onto my only remaining best friend's eyes. He has that manic fearful look he gets just before he transforms and I smile my full and famous Sirius smirk at him. His mouth twitches like it always does whenever I use that smile to get Marlene or Mary or Dorcas or whoever the newest fling is.
I can't see James and I need to see him. I need to tell him that the show must go on. He's a great mate, James is. I'm missing his and Lily's baby being born but I better still be made the godfather!
Because I'd be a damn good one. I'd fight the universe for my godchild.
Because they are my true family and family loyalty can extend so far…
But the sun is peeping out of the sky, where it used to be only grey. The wolf is getting married and he'll never cry again.
A/N: I loved writing this so much. So much, I can't even explain! It just came and my hands just flew across paper…it was exhilarating! And oh gosh, if you haven't heard this song, listen to it. It's a real morale booster! And it may feel a bit detached from the actual writing but I always felt that Sirius death was the beginning of a series of sorrowful events which eventually lead to the beautiful bright ending that we all know. Which is why I thought this song about optimism was appropriate. Anyway, please let me know what you thought of it. This was a really important chapter to me and I would love to hear your views on it!
