I opened my eyes. I could not just believe what had happened. I'd been taunting that horrific witch, and she's actually hit me. And I'd died??? My last sight had been Harry, he was running down a flight of stairs toward me. Was that Dumbledore behind him? I never knew. Lupin caught Harry, and I'd fallen back.through the veil.
Bright lights swirled everywhere.I didn't know where I was going. Somewhere, though, I'd left my body behind. Weird feeling that was. I was holding onto my wand.and my spirit seemed to be wearing the same thing I'd died in.
It was a weird thing to say.even now, I'm dead. Kind of a shock.but if I had to choose a way to die it would have been in battle.
After awhile, the lights cleared, and I was standing in the middle of this lawn, and there was a castle behind it. Where exactly am I? I thought. I walked up to the gatekeeper. He let me in and without even asking me who I was said, "Sirius Black.we've been expecting you." I was so shocked that he knew my name.it was a creepy feeling.
The man nodded toward the castle. "Go in, they'll point you the right way." What else was I to do? I opened the big heavy door. There seemed to be many souls there, like me, all being led by someone, some crying, being reunited with people they knew. Most were crying, some were looking through these huge telescopes. Some looked into mirrors, or out windows. I saw that most carried wands. I looked up. There was a sign that said, "Welcome to the Wizard's End of Heaven. If you are being expected by someone, please step to the left. And that means you too, Sirius."
Once again I'm shocked. I stepped to the left, and two people hurried toward me. I had no idea who they were. "Sirius Black, I presume?" on said.
"I guess you presume right." I answered.
"Follow us." Once again, what choice did I have? I certainly did NOT want to follow these two. They were freaking me out. They led me to a room. I sat in the room for what seemed like hours, when two other people walked through the door. One had auburn hair, and bright green eyes. The other with the same untidy black hair.
"Lily? James?" I asked.
"Sirius?" he said.
She smiled and said, "It's good to have you here."
James shook my hand but I was still only halfway there. Suddenly I remembered something.
"HARRY!" I screamed, "I have to help him!!! He's with Voldemort!! I shouldn't have left him, I have to help him!"
I leapt for the door. James caught me. "He'll be fine. Dumbledore's got him out of this one. In fact, he got him out a while ago. He's back at the school. The rest of them got out ok."
"So why did I.?" I asked. I was furious at myself for dieing. Harry needed me!! And now I was forced to believe the Snape was right all along, that I was useless.
"Why does anyone die?" Lily asked. "Everything happens for a reason."
I was stunned.
Another person joined us in the room. I didn't know him either. But he introduced himself as Nick.
"I am correct in saying that you are Sirius Black?"
"Yes you are."
"I am Nick. I am here to explain your mission."
"Excuse me.my WHAT?"
"You're mission. Everyone here has one. Theirs is over now." He said, gesturing to Lily and James, "Their mission was to watch over and protect you."
"Fine job you did today," I said with slight bitterness. My best friends had let me die.it was unbelieveable!! And they knew I was watching over their son!!
"We had no choice in the matter," James said, "We have no power over when you died. We just had to be a guardian."
"Ok?" I wasn't quite sure where all this was headed.and wondered what the crazy mission I'd go through was.
Nick started talking again.
"Sirius, you're mission is almost exactly what you had to do on earth."
"What might that be?"
"Can't you guess?" added James with a laugh.
"Right about now, I'm not in the mood for guessing games.you know.as is I just DIED, I am not really in the mood for well, really, ANY games."
"Calm down, Sirius. This is a mission you'll like." Lily added.
"And hey, don't get mad at me. It's not my fault you died.and I'm your best friend." James sounded wounded.
"Sorry"
"It's ok!"
"Ahem.As I was saying, you're mission is to be a guardian. A guardian to the Boy, Harry Potter."
My eyes went wide and I almost fell off the chair I was sitting on. This was EXACTLY what I'd been doing when I was living.only now I could be even better at it. Now that the Ministry wasn't after me, and all.
James and Lily were smiling. They'd known it was coming.
"So.what happens when my mission's completed, like theirs?"
"Well.they get to go to a higher place.without any missions." Nick answered.
"So, when do I start?"
"Well.now, technically.you can see him whenever you want.through mirrors.telescopes.in fact, I think you can use walls, too, if you're really good. WE just need to get you to your room. Lily and James, I'll let you take care of that."
And Nick walked out.
I gave Lily and James a weird look. The smiled, and led me to my room.
I was surprised.it was a lot like somewhere I'd once dreamed of living. Nowhere fantastically fancy, but not my mother's house.and I opened the closet to find that there was clothes and almost everything I'd ever owned in there. A small bed was in the corner, and a bathroom on the other side. Lily and James left, soon after, leaving me to myself.
I dug my hands into my pockets, and looked at a mirror. I wanted to see how he was doing.
Sure enough.I saw him on the train home, Hermione and Ron beside him. He still looked pretty shaken up. Suddenly, I came across the mirror in my pocket. The two-way one. I hope he hadn't tried to contact me.if so he'd had a huge disappointment. But I could talk to him through the two way mirror.and he could talk to me.
This guardian job might not be so bad after all.
And right now, I guess you could say I'm tired.dieing sure took a lot out of me.sounds kind of funny, but it really isn't when you think about it. I hope I can watch over him in dreams, though, cause I'm really tired now.
Good night Harry.
