Disclaimer: I owned none of the characters (JKR owned them), except for a few of them, which is created by me.
Ravenclawer, thanks for your review. So, `Draco Salazar Malfoy Riddle' is written by you? I kept looking through Cyn James' stories in the directory but couldn't find it. I have quite a few chapters to catch up with then.
Until we meet again
I have never thought I will ever see her again, but fate seems really kind to me this time...
Chapter 9 Memory Refreshed Part 3
It had been two weeks since the incident, and the house was still the same - as grave as ever. Bertha still cried to him about it, and sweared occasionally about revenge. It was growing late, but she seemed to have no intention of going back inside to bed.
"Doggy, what should I do to remedy all these? If I found out earlier, I could have prevented her from hurting in so many ways..." She was now hugging Sirius, crying.
As Sirius couldn't actually speak, all he could do was sit there quietly, let her talk it through, and cry until she felt relieved again, like many other nights.
But he could felt something was going wrong, then he noticed that Bertha was dozing off, and eventually collapsed on the ground. What was going on?
He transformed back into human form and carried her in his arms to hide in the shadow of the house. To his fear, he saw the Dementors, and a couple of death eaters too. He had to leave now, before they made any damage or harm to her and her housemates.
He laid her down on the ground away from where they could possibly be seen, and whispered to her, although he doubted if she could hear it, "I am sorry, Bertha. I have to leave now. I really enjoy the last two months with you, but I have to leave in order to keep you safe. I am sorry. I am really sorry." With that, he deliberately walked out from the shadow of the house and left, attracting the death eaters and dementors to follow him away from the house.
********************
He fought with them, but they had seven towards one of him, there was not much of a possibility that he could win, especially he just recovered. Surprisingly, the aurors arrived to help him, and Dumbledore.
"Headmaster, how come you are here? And the aurors?" Sirius asked him after they had captured the death eaters and dementors.
"Sirius, you are free man now. We have just captured Peter Pettigrew, and he confessed everything. Sirius, you are free of the charges, and you are going to have compensation for all these too."
He was so happy that he wanted to share the news with someone --- Bertha. No, he shouldn't go back there to get her in danger again. Just let her remember him as Doggy, instead of a wizard fighting in a war.

End of flashback
*******************
Sigh... He didn't really expect to see her again, after three long years... He looked at the pendent again. He actually went back once, to give the pendent back to her, but it seemed they had moved, as the neighbours said they had graduated from university and went back to Hong Kong. Well, he just hoped that he could figure out what this feeling was as soon as possible, or else, he would probably hit Remus again, as he knew him well enough that he would not just drop it.
