A/n; Well, I know that this idea's been done before, but the main part isn't Sirius getting freed here.. it's what happens afterwards... and I can practically guarantee that that bit's original. As you may have guessed, Sirius has a choice between living free... or dying. But Harry and co. have to make it for him...
Disclaimer; I own nothing except Sirius' pets and the words Cargen and Copin. Happy? Oh yes, and I also own this **** painting... "I'm not letting you into your secret room now!" The words Puffskein and Crup belong to J.K. Rowling too; it's in Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them which was released for Comic Relief.
Changing;
[][][] means the POV is changing; probably from Sirius in the first
person to third person or vice-versa.
/\/\/\ means the scene or time is changing...
Chapter 7; Shared Vision
"It's getting dark, let's stop for the night."
"Makes sense to me." The four touched down in a
small clearing, and Lily promptly turned around and threw up, clearing
the mess away with her wand.
"How on Earth did you ever get on
the Quidditch team?" Remus asked despairingly.
"Don't ask me, it just happened..."
"How can you play Quidditch if you're scared of
heights?" Harry asked, now thoroughly confused.
"That is the question," his father said wearily.
...Sirius. But not Sirius in the flesh, Harry guessed; he was translucent and glowing slightly. Tkaa was on his shoulder, balancing himself in some miraculous way; and the snake, too, was translucent and glowing.
"Are you sure?"
"I am NOT becoming a bloody Death Eater! How long does it take to get this through your skull?"
"But Sirius," Voldemort took a step towards Sirius, and his face contorted into something that looked vaguely like a friendly smile, except it didn't reach his eyes, "You have nothing else to live for. You're a criminal, you're on the run, you're deemed insane. Your friends are dead, your parents are badness only knows where..." Sirius' face suddenly went wooden.
"I have no parents."
"Then who are these people?" Voldemort asked, as a man and a woman entered the room.
"Death Eaters."
"Oh, Siri, don't you recognise me?" The woman took a step forwards. "You don't know your own mother?"
"You're not my mother."
"Oh, but I am, Sirrikins..." Harry stifled a snigger. He was almost certain that nobody in the room knew he was there, but it was best to be on the safe side.
"No Death Eater will ever be a relation of mine."
"But you were in Azkaban!" The man sounded surprised. "We saw you."
"Oh, I was in Azkaban." Sirius pointed at Wormtail. "For something he did."
"Oh, you wonderful loyal boy, taking the blame for..."
"I WASN'T BEING A WONDERFUL LOYAL BOY!" Sirius exploded. "I WAS FRAMED! HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO TELL PEOPLE? And I do have something to live for," he added to Voldemort.
"Oh really? What?"
"I'm Harry Potter's godfather."
"Oh, are you?" Voldemort's voice had changed back to the cruel tones Harry remembered; he was obviously done being nice. "Well, let me tell you this. You have three days to live, unless you join me. You have friends," he gestured to Wormtail, who suddenly buried himself in his potion again as Sirius looked daggers at him. "you have family, and you would have a much longer life expectancy... say, years rather than days..." he smiled cruelly. "but, obviously you're not ready to live, so I'll let you get back to your hallucinations..."
"When's full moon?" Harry asked him softly.
"Hm? Oh, you're awake. It's tomorrow."
"Um, Remus..."
"Yes?"
"Do you know about the visions I have of Voldemort sometimes?"
"Yeah, Sirius told me. Then Dumbledore did. I'm kept pretty well informed. Why?"
"I just had another one." Harry told Remus what he'd seen. "But... Sirius isn't a Death Eater, is he?"
"He isn't, but his parents are. They were both in Azkaban, though he pretends they're dead. I think he'd probably prefer it if they were dead... oh, hello, Milton." The phoenix had landed on a branch above them, and now he bagan to sing, softly so as not to wake up Lily and James. Harry smiled.
"And I bet that went against him when Wormtail framed him, too."
"Oh, it did. I don't like this bit about `three days to live`, though, we'll be cutting it awfully fine."
"We'll still have a day left, won't we?"
"No." Remus sighed, and stared up at the moon again. "It takes me a day to recover after full moon. We'll only just get there in time... or, we might not..."
"Oh."
"Well, at least we've found your parents, and we know it's a Voldemort curse. Go back to sleep, Harry, we want to cover as much distance as possible tomorrow..."
[][][] Sirius' POV
Well well well, you shared a vision with Harry Potter, Tkaa said cheerily. Now there's something not many people can say...
I didn't answer, couldn't answer. I'd fallen asleep again.
A/n; Uh-oh, this ain't good...
