Ashleigh was falling through a dark black hole. She just kept going and
going.
"Sirius!" She yelled and it echoed through everything. This was it, Allie was going to lose both her parents. No one knew what was lying behind the veil, but most guessed that it was death. She heard a thump and then she hit the ground with a thump herself.
"Sirius!" Ashleigh said breathless. She groped around until she felt and arm. The arm stirred and she pulled Sirius into a hug.
"Ashleigh?" He asked. Ashleigh gave him a reassuring kiss on the lips to tell him that it was she. A light came from somewhere and they could see each other.
"Where are we?" He asked.
"We are behind the veil." Ashleigh said. She could see his face scrunch up in thought.
"Why did you jump in after me? What was going through your mind."? Sirius asked.
"That I wanted to save the father of my baby and my husband and my lover." Ashleigh said.
"But who is going to take care of Allie now?" Sirius asked.
"Sirius I have a way for you to get out. But you need to listen." Ashleigh said.
"No, I am not leaving without you." Sirius said.
"Yes! You are!" Ashleigh said sternly. It was her time to go. She pulled out a knife from her pocket and cut the palm of her right hand.
"What are you doing?" He asked her. She grabbed his hand gently she cut his left palm.
"I am giving you my blood. With it, you will be powerful enough to escape and go on." Ashleigh said.
"What about you?" He asked.
"Sirius, Allie and Harry need you. Both of them. Harry needs you more than he needs me. You have to go. Please." Ashleigh said. Sirius though about it and before he could reject Ashleigh grabbed his left hand with her right hand. Her blood was mixing with his. She was becoming part of him and him part of her. She would forever be inside his blood. He would have the protection he needed and he would be there for Allie. Before the transfer of the blood was complete, Ashleigh kissed him one last time. A long passionate kiss before she fell back and landed on the ground, dead. She was dead. Sirius let go of her hand and laid it down gently. He lifted up her body and they started to go upward. Up and up and up until he emerged from the veil. Lupin and Dumbledore rushed over to him. He had tears running down his face. Tears for a child, tears for a lover and tears for his other half. Dumbledore lifted the limp, pale body out of his embrace. Remus held onto Sirius while he cried. Harry was at Hogwarts waiting for Dumbledore. He still thought Sirius was dead. Dumbledore made a port key for Sirius and he went straight to Dumbledore's office. When he arrived Harry saw him and his face lit up.
"Sirius! You are alive!" Harry said hugging him. Sirius realized what Ashleigh meant. Harry did need him more than he needed Ashleigh. Sirius was his godfather and his father figure. Allie was his daughter. He made a vow right then to never let anyone hurt his baby.
A month later Sirius was going through Ashleigh's things, he had been very depressed ever since she left. He found a letter addressed to him.
'Dear Sirius,
I know that I am gone if you are reading this. I had to leave you something of me. Of course you and Allie have all of my possessions and material stuff. Which is quite a lot. Please don't cry I'm in a better place. A place where I can watch over you. I am guessing that I either died by a mortal wound or I transferred my blood to you. If I transferred my blood to you then you have my powers. My legacy, I am living inside you. Your new powers consist of seeing the future (sometimes a real drag because you cant prevent it), You can control some of the weather, and you can do magic without a wand. You also have an immortality protection on your life. You can only die by loss of blood. So do be careful. Avada Kadavra doesn't work on you and neither do the other unforgivable. You are too strong now for normal wizard curses. Those are only some of the powers of a sorceress.'
Sirius was crying through this. Allie was crying in her crib. He put down the letter and attended to her. After she was asleep again he went back to the letter. He read through a couple of pages about Voldermort and Harry. Their destiny, he could see it now. Of course Harry was going to win, the letter said.
' Sirius, I love you. There will never reach a point where my love stops for you. You are I and I am you. We are one. If you ever need to talk to me, summon me. I will be there. I am inside of you now. You know me so well that what ever question you have to ask me. You can answer it yourself. The extent of my love will never reach and end. Please take care of Allie, don't be depressed. She doesn't need that. Be the father that you were meant to be. I love you and love her. I will be watching.
Love forever and always, Ash'
Sirius was going to be there for Allie and Harry. Now that he was Scot free of all charges ever put on him he could live a normal life. As normal as he could make it anyway.
