Alternate Endings - Chapter 2

Hogwarts ...

Sirius tightened his arms around his knees , watching the passing scenery .

He was sure , almost for a minute , that something was missing , but he

didn't know what . Like he was supposed to meet someone , but forgot .

And didn't . But ... this was crazy talk ! He didn't know anyone before this

trip , no one . Right ? But he wasn't so sure , as he fell into the thralls of

sleep .

( This is a dream sequence , in case you don't figure that out )


"Hey ! Padfoot old friend ! Where have you been keeping yourself ?'



"Uh .... Sirius , Lily and I have been talking , and we , uh , want you to be
our secret keeper ."


"What is there to be gained by fighting the most evil wizard alive ? Only
innocent lives !"


"Lily ! James ! James ! Please wake up ! Please ...."


Sirius saw a train station , rather like the one he was just at . A tall boy
with dark black hair marched up to him and grabbed his hand .
"Hi ! My name's James Potter !"

and went back to watching Remus' and Peter's chess game . ( Peter was

losing .) He smiled , at the little boy . Peter looked up , and caught his

staring with a smile on his face , and promptly began to tremble , yet again.

"Geez ! Nervous , are ya ?"

Peter started shaking even more vigorously . Sirius and Remus stared at

him , as the little's boy's small eyes started to well up .

"No ... no , you don't !" Sirius said , just as the boy began to cry . Then he

got up and ran out of the room . When he had left , Lily , Remus and Sirius

, looked around , shocked . Then Sirius began to laugh . Soon , everyone

followed suit , and they were rolling around on the floor , when a tall boy

with black hair opened the door ...
