"Oh my gosh! Mum!" I carelessly threw down the owl and cage. My mum was lying on the street almost completely motionless. "What happened!?!" I said in shock while kneeling down to take a close look.
A boy with fiery red hair, one of the twins I had seen earlier that day, who was already kneeling, looked up at me and answered, "I was walking behind her and she started gasping like she couldn't breathe. Then she collapsed on the ground." He put his head closer to her body. "She's still breathing. There might be a chance if we can get her some help quickly."
Just then a man with the same fiery red hair pushed through the small crowd and bent down also.
"Let's get her to St. Mungo's. Fred, help me would you? Your mother is she?" he said while glancing at me quickly.
"Yeah. Now where is it you're taking her? Will she be all right? Should I get some more help?" I said worriedly.
"St Mungo's hospital. They can treat her there," the man replied.
::Some Hours Later::
The red-haired man, Fred, if I heard right, his twin brother, a woman with red hair whom I guessed was their mother, a portly doctor, and myself stood in the room that my sleeping mother was in.
"Her heart rate dropped severely. I'm afraid there's nothing we can do at this point. It's extremely low and close to the point of stopping. It would be pointless to try and restore it in such little time. I'm very sorry. She has a few a minutes left now," stated the doctor gloomily and he shook his head slowly and left the room.
I let out a burst of sobbing and looked away from my sleeping mother, who was hooked up to a few machines, and buried my wet face in my hands. I felt a pair of arms reach around and take me in a tight, warm hug.
"There, there dear. Everything will be ok." It was the woman who I noticed was silently crying, also.
"I think we ought to leave Celissia alone with her Mum. C'mon everyone. She needs some last time with her. Just tell us if you need anything, we'll be out in the waiting room," said the man sadly. I gave a nod, face still buried in my hands. The woman gave me another quick hug and followed her husband and one of her sons out of the room, still crying.
I finally peered up to see that Fred was looking at me sympathetically, his eyes somewhat glazed. He gave me a quick smile, as to reassure me everything would be ok, and left the room silently.
I sat down in a chair next to Mum's bed and stroked her cheek gently. I couldn't believe I was about to lose the only Mum I had ever had, and my only friend.
At that moment a ray of hope shined through me because Mum suddenly opened her blue eyes slowly. Maybe there is some hope after all I thought.
"Oh, Mum!" I kissed her cold cheek and she smiled at me weakly "Celissia, there is something I must tell you before I leave." "Leave! No, Mum. You're not going to leave. You will stay with me forever. I can't lose you!" I said more to myself than to her. "Before I leave," she repeated, either ignoring me or not realizing I had just spoken," there is something you must know.
"You see, your father did not lose his life in a fire. In fact, he was very much alive until just last year. He had left us when he was accused of murdering all those muggles and wizard and was sent to Azkaban. Celissia, your father is Sirius Black. You are really Celissia Black. You come from one of the purest families in the wizarding community. Your family has some of the most magnificent powers known to wizard kind. I believe that you hold some of those powers within you. Use them for when you truly need them.
I sat there, face still wet, astonished and confused. Before I had time to interrogate her about this she said, "It's time, Celissia. I Must leave you now. Remember all I have taught and said to you. And remember that I love you and always will." "Oh! Mum! I love you! Why do you have to leave me now? What were you talking about? Don't go!!!"
With all this said, Mum closed her eyes and sighed a last breath. I felt a single tear drip down my cheek.
(A/N:I know it's sad, but I had to have her die somehow to fit in with the rest of the story. Please R&R!)
