Still the flashback in a flashback
Alanna managed to live through that summer with Sirius' help. He tried to never leave her side for an instant. The few times he did leave, she made attempts on her life. One day he caught her with a muggle knife. She was trying to slit her wrists. He grabbed the knife and threw her into a chair.
"Are you insane woman? I thought you didn't even want the baby. Now you're ready to kill yourself because she didn't screw up your life. You can still go to school and get a good job. You won't get expelled from Hogwarts and you won't have to live as a Muggle." He stopped when Alanna broke down in tears.
"I'm sorry. It's just that I loved her. Her father may have been a jerk and I may not have wanted her, but she was growing inside of me. A perfect little being was being inside of me. I loved that being, even though she was going to mess up my life. I loved her. I still do." Sirius wrapped an arm around his friend.
"Let me tell you something, m'dear. I love you just as much as you loved Gwenhwyfar. My life would be worth nothing without you in it. Please remember that I love you and Remus loves you and James and Lily. Dave loved you. We all love you and would miss you terribly if you left us." That ended Alanna's suicidal inclinations.

Alanna dissolved in tears as she told her friend how he saved her the summer before.
"Of course I remember." Assured a groggy voice. Alanna almost smothered her friend in hugs. "I love you too, Alanna. I love you too."
