An emotional coma consumed Sirius for the next few days. He just sat there
staring at the photos of Ashleigh, Allie and himself that covered the walls
of his room. Ashleigh, He wished that she never died. He would rather have
died than have her leave him. He sat there wishing he were dead when his
door opened and Allie came bounding in. Didn't Remus know that Sirius
wanted to be alone?
"Daddy! Look what I drew! I dreamed it!" Allie squealed jumping next to him on his bed. She was so beautiful, she reminded him of Ashleigh. Her hair was past her shoulders, long blonde and fair. Her eyes were identical to Sirius' and she had the cutest button nose. The fact that Sirius and Ashleigh had created this little wonder. She lifted her picture up to Sirius to see. He gave a faint smile. He grabbed her by her small knees and pulled her into a hug.
"I love you. I hope you know that." He told her as he kissed her forehead.
"I love you too daddy!" Allie said. Her voice was always so full of life and love. She was always so excited no matter what. She made the most depressed person in the room crack a smile. She gave the loneliest person in the world love. The darkest heart becomes brighter. He cast her picture aside and hung onto her. The love that he needed to fill his heart did. Years from then when Allie would start her first year at Hogwarts and Harry was the at the peak of his Auror career Sirius would find that picture and would see some of its meaning.
"Daddy?" Allie asked him. Sirius looked down at her angelic face.
"Yes Sweetheart?" He said.
"I want to see Harry! Harry!" Allie said. Harry was in school. God, it was his seventh year at Hogwarts. He was growing up so fast.
"We can't see him yet, on Christmas though he will be here." Sirius said. Allie's smile grew.
"Christmas?" She asked mischievously. She knew what Christmas meant, presents. Sirius laughed.
"Yeah." He said. Then he started to tickle her.
"Daddy! Watch what I can do!" She said. She blinked her eyes and her blanket flew through the door magically. Sirius stared at her and then at the blanket.
"What did you just do?" He asked her. That was extraordinary.
"I got my blankey." She said. Sirius nodded slowly. Maybe she was more powerful then he thought.
Sirius put her down and walked into the other room. Remus was making their supper.
"Do you know what Allie can do?" Sirius asked him as he took out the milk for Allie's dinner. She had to have her daily vitamins and at least two glasses of milk a day.
"Yeah, I told her to go and show you." Remus said setting the table. He set the table fore four instead of three.
"Why is there four spots?" Sirius asked. Remus looked up at Sirius with confusion written on his face. Then it hit him.
"I had invited someone to dinner." Remus said getting back to making dinner. Remus didn't want Sirius to stop their friend from coming.
"Wh-o?" Sirius asked but the doorbell rang and he left the kitchen to answer it. Standing in front of Sirius watching him with a smile was Ashleigh's old best friend, Abby.
"Abby?" Sirius asked. She had a few suitcases with her and her normal smile on her face.
"Hey Sirius! Its been way too long." Abby said. She picked up her suitcases and came inside. Sirius stood frozen in the doorway.
"Aren't you going to shut the door, I don't think anyone was behind me." Abby said. She had put her suitcases down and went back toward Sirius. She gave him a big hug. She hadn't seen him since Ashleigh's funeral. To think that Ashleigh, her Ashleigh was dead was horrible. Sirius stood there rooted in his spot.
"O, Abby, I'm so glad you could make it!" Remus said coming into the living room. He gave Abby a hug and a kiss on both of her cheeks. Ally came running into the room, she was looking for her dad but she stopped short when she saw this strange woman. Immediately her protective barrier went up and she rushed toward her dad. Sirius was knocked out of his stupor by his baby girl. She clinging onto him as if he was her life savor.
"Ally, its ok. She is a friend of your mom's" Sirius said picking up his daughter. Ally was a little weary about letting the barrier down but she trusted her dad. Abby smiled.
"This cant be her! She was such a tiny little baby when I first met her." Abby said, she got closer to give Ally a hug but Ally jumped out of her dad's hands and ran to her room.
"She's probably just a little shy." Sirius said trying to justify his daughters behavior.
"Sirius, she is never shy. She had you and Ashleigh for her parents." Remus commented going back to the kitchen.
