He's not dead!

Chapter 1

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"SIRIUS!" Harry yelled, "SIRIUS!"

He had reached the floor, his breaths coming in soaring gasps.

Sirius must be just behind the curtain, he, Harry would pull him back out again.... But as he reached the ground and sprinted toward the dias, Lupin grabbed Harry around the chest, holding him back.

"There's nothing you can do, Harry--"

"Get him, save him; he's only just gone through!"

"It's too late Harry--"

"We can still reach him--" Harry struggled hard and viciously but Lupin would not let go....

"There's nothing you can do, Harry...nothing....he's gone."

"He's not dead! I can still reach him!"

"SIRIUS!" Harry woke up, drenched in his own sweat. There was someone standing next to Harry, ashen face and scared.

"Harry, are you alright?" asked a much shaken Ron.

"Yeah, it was all a nightmare," said Harry, wiping the sweat off his face with his sleeve.

"What time is it?"

Ron looked at his watch, "5:30, are you going to go back to sleep?"

Ron sat at the foot of Harry's bed,

"Are you sure you're alright? You were shaking all over... sweating and saying "he's not dead" over and over."

Harry nodded... "I told you, it was just a nightmare. Can you hand me a cup of water please?"

Ron handed Harry the glass of water he already had in his hand.

"Thanks." Harry drank it in one gulp.

"Harry,"

"Yeah"

"How many times have you dreamt about Sirius's death?"

"I don't know... I don't really keep track, but I'm tired of seeing my godfather die over and over again. It's just like hearing my parents last moments again."

"Come on lets get dressed and go down to the common room, I don't want to wake anyone up."

Nodding, Harry got up and got dressed; he and Ron went down to the common room.

"Ron," said Harry after about five minutes of sitting.

Ron looked up at his best friend.

"Why did it have to be Sirius that died that night? How do we even know that he's really dead, I mean, he just went behind the curtain. You can't die that way."

Ron didn't really know how to answer that question, he tried his best.

"Harry, to tell you the truth, I don't know why it was Sirius, but I do know that you can't come out the veil after you enter. That's why it's in the death chamber."

Harry was the one to look up now,

"How do you know? He could still be alive, I won't believe that he's dead, I'M NOT GOING TO BELIEVE IT!"

Ron could see the tears running down Harry's face, but didn't say anything, He just let his friend cry, and he needed to.

"Ron," said Harry when he finished crying, "I miss him. I want him back."

"I know you do."

They didn't say anything after that they just let their thoughts take over. An hour later, people started to come down from the dorms. Ron and Harry followed their housemates down to the Great Hall for breakfast.

Hermione came running down the house tables with tears in her eyes.

"HARRY," she yelled, "Harry, you'll never believe what came just now." she panted as she reached the boys.

Hermione held out a piece of parchment with Harry, Ron and Hermione's name on it. Harry looked at it with one eyebrow raised.

"What is it?" Harry asked.

"Just open it and you will see..." Hermione sounded a little mysterious, which really wasn't her.

Harry opened the already opened letter; it was a really short letter with only two words on it.

I'm alive
