Memories
Alanna looked around at her bedroom. It contained so many memories of Sirius. Her eyes rested on the wineglass that brought them together. It wasn't a normal wineglass. The inside was black, and it was resting on a plate that had been dyed green.
~*~*~*~*~*Flashback~*~*~*~*~*
Lily and Alanna giggled as they made their way to the kitchens. They reached them and were surrounded by house-elves, trying to shoo them away. Lily was confused. House-elves were normally kind and considerate. Lily saw an elf she recognized.
"Teeny," she called. The tiny elf ran over to Lily. "Why are you trying to get rid of us?" She inquired.
"Oh Miss, no Missus Lily, you aren't supposed to see your wedding cake until the reception. Master James told us that you weren't to see the cake. He said so, he did." Teeny cried, a hint of panic coming into her voice. Alanna, being impatient as usual, cut in.
"We don't want to see the cake. I wanted to ask you if you would slip this into the best man's wineglass." Alanna stated, holding out an inkbottle. Teeny took it, but looked doubtful.
"Don't worry, Teeny. It won't hurt him, just dye his teeth black for a while. He won't even taste it." Lily reassured the small creature. Teeny smiled at Lily.
"Anything for Missus Lily on her wedding day. Good luck, Mrs. Potter!" The rest of the elves took up the cry "Good luck, Mrs. Potter!" as they shooed the pair out of the kitchens. The girls were giggling as they ran back up to the room where the rest of Lily's bridesmaids were getting ready for the reception. They ran into the groom on their way. James swept Lily up in a passionate kiss as Alanna looked away. She was happy for her friends, but she wished she could have love like they did. James let Lily go and gave Alanna a hug and a grin.
"And what are my two favorite ladies in the whole world doing near the kitchens?" He inquired, his brown eyes laughing.
"Getting into trouble," replied Alanna as she smiled up at him. She and Lily ran around him and linked arms as they ran off. "Just wait until the best man makes his speech." Alanna called as they raced around a corner. James chuckled and proceeded to the kitchens.
"Master James, you just missed Missus Lily." Said Teeny as she saw him.
"No, I saw her on my way down. Listen, Teeny, could you slip this into the maid of honor's food, compliments of Mr. Black?" He asked handing the elf a packet with green powder in it.
"As long as it doesn't hurt Miss Alanna." Teeny replied with a grin.
"No, it won't hurt her. Just embarrass her. But I have a feeling that Sirius is going to be embarrassed as well." James grinned at the elf, who nodded in confirmation. "This will be a most interesting wedding reception." James muttered to himself as he went back upstairs.
The trouble didn't begin until the best man stood up to give his speech. Sirius opened his mouth to talk, and the room burst out laughing. Sirius, being as thickheaded as he was, just laughed along with them. This drove the audience into hysterics. He was getting slightly confused and he looked at James. The groom had buried his face in his wife's hair, so as not to laugh, and Lily was crying with mirth. Padfoot's eyes moved to the other side of Lily, where sat his one true love and worst enemy, Alanna. She was trying to look innocent as she laughed with everybody else. Lily finally took pity on him and dug in her handbag for a mirror. She handed it to Sirius, and his eyes widened. His teeth, lips, and tongue were black.
"Alanna! What did you do to me? Fix it!" Alanna started crying as she replied.
"I can't fix it. It's muggle ink. It might come out in a week or two." Sirius glared at her and sat down. It took five minutes for the crowd to quiet down. Sirius held a napkin in front of his face and gave the speech, changing it to include an evil maid of honor who loved to see other's humiliation. Alanna stood up to give her speech, checking to make sure her appearance was normal. She had noticed that her plate was green in the center, but couldn't bother to figure out what Sirius did to her this time. Alanna opened her mouth and began to talk. Problem was, there wasn't any sound coming out of her mouth. Sirius had silenced her! She glared at him and began yelling silently that he undo whatever he had done to her. He laughed and laughed. Remus took pity on his poor friend and tried to do the spell that would give Alanna back her voice, but it didn't work. Sirius laughed even harder. It was then that the maid of honor dove across the bride and groom to get at her antagonist. Sirius yelped and took off running. James smiled slyly at his wife.
"Our plan is working, my dear." He whispered in her ear. Her eyes followed the figures of her best friend and her husband's best friend as Alanna chased Sirius into a small side room.
"It sure is." She replied as she stood up to perform the spell that locked them in there. With any luck, the two would get together.
~*~*~*~*~*End of Flashback~*~*~*~*~*
It had worked. They emerged from the room, engaged, the next morning. The wedding had been postponed numerous times, mostly because of attacks from Voldemort. Sirius was an Auror, so when there was an attack, he had to take care of it. Alanna looked around until her eyes fell on a drawer. She opened the drawer and took out a long knife. She attempted suicide for the last time, only Sirius was not there to save her.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Thanx to all my lovely reviewers. I hope the ending didn't shock you too much. What else could I do? Harry doesn't have a godmother. She must die. Sorry to all of you who like Alanna. I'm rather fond of her myself. She's my best character yet. It is finished.
