Falling into Nothingness
Sirius was pacing the length of the living room angrily, while Remus sat on the sofa with Cassie in his arms. He patted his cloak pocket but couldn't fell anything inside of it, he stopped suddenly and started to root through his pockets; but he couldn't find it he had lost it.
"Looking for something Padfoot?" Remus asked smiling at him holding out a small black box.
Sirius looked over at him and smiled when he saw the box in his hand, he took it off him and then sat down beside him.
"There's no way she can say no, is there darling." Sirius said smiling down at Cassie and then kissed her forehead making her giggle and reach up for him, he took her off Remus. "So beautiful, where's your mummy got too then, she's going to miss the christening at this rate."
"And so are we if we don't get going." Remus told him.
"All right, your right." Sirius agreed getting up. "And now that these attacks have gotten worst, we've got to be careful. He seems to have it in for us at the moment; maybe we shouldn't have peed him off so much."
"Weren't that the whole point, and bringing him down?" Remus asked before the apperated out of there, and reappeared in the church.
"Yeah well." Sirius said and then said quietly as Lily walked over to them. "We'll talk later."
"Great you're here, but where's Nissa?" Lily asked as she only saw the two of them stood there.
"Something happened, she got called away; but she'll be back as soon as she can." Sirius told her. "I promise she wouldn't miss Harry's christening."
Sirius smiled at her reassuringly, he knew that she wouldn't if she could help it; but there was something in the back of his mind telling him that she would. But he wanted her here as well, it was important that she be here with him today.
The christening was over and they were back at the Potter's, and she still hadn't turned up; Sirius had been made Godfather was carrying Harry around the house playing with him. He walked into the kitchen they were all stood there with Higgs and Moody.
"Black, we haven't heard from Nissa all day; nor Frank." Moody told him. "He got into a spot of bother and she went to help."
"What? And no one's heard anything?" Sirius asked sounding very worried, all the anger gone at these words.
"I'm sure she's fine, you know how she is." Higgs reassured him.
"Right little fiery one, you've got yourself there Black." Moody told him.
"Yeah." Sirius said absent minded.
"You can go if you like." Lily told him.
"No it's alright we'll stay a bit longer; she might turn up." Sirius told her trying to smile."
They stayed for a few more hours, even after everyone started to leave and she still hadn't turned up. Sirius wasn't sure if he was anger or worried about her or maybe it was both.
Remus took Sirius home with Cassie, he took her upstairs to her bedroom and went back down to Sirius who was making himself another drink.
"She isn't here is she?" Sirius said knocking the drink back in one.
"She's fine Sirius." Remus reassured him, just then there was a loud pop in the hall behind him.
Sirius pushed past him. "Where the hell have you been? You missed Harry's christening and everything."
Nissa looked as though she was going to collapse right there, because he looked so tired; but part from that they couldn't see anything else wrong with her.
"I'm sorry, but something came up." Nissa told him, trying not to move."
"Sorry, that's all you seem to say lately." Sirius said.
"I'll leave, and Sirius be nice; remember." Remus told him before he left leaving them alone.
"I've had enough for tonight, we'll talk tomorrow." Nissa told him, turning around heading for the stairs.
"What, we haven't said anything." Sirius told her following her up the stairs. "You can't keep doing this, you have a family; don't we mean anything to you? Or is the job more important?"
Nissa turned slowly around and faced him. "Sometimes, yes they have too."
Sirius just stared at her. "I'm sleeping on the sofa."
She closed her eyes and turned round holding onto the wall for support. "Whatever you want."
Sirius stomped all the way down stairs and slammed the living room door shut, somehow though Cassie slept through the whole thing. Nissa went into the bathroom and turned on the shower, she carefully took off her clothes and changed her appearance as she got in wincing as the water touched her cut, bleeding body.
Nissa didn't sleep at all; she could hardly just lay there because it hurt too much. Even Sirius didn't sleep that much, but he did manage to get a couple of hours; before he heard Nissa come down stairs in the morning.
She walked into the kitchen in a vest and shorts which she wore for bed; Sirius didn't come in straight away while she sorted a bottle out for Cassie. Remus popped into the kitchen almost making her drop the pan of water.
"Morning." Remus said. "Just making sure that the two of you are still alive, and haven't killed each other."
"I'm going for a shower!" Sirius shouted through.
"It didn't really go well." Nissa told him.
"You'll sort things out, you always do." Remus reassured her.
Sirius appeared in front of them, making Nissa jump again. He still had his trousers and shirt on from the day before.
"Blood!" Sirius said.
They both looked at him as he glared at Nissa.
"Are you hurt?" Nissa asked him concerned.
"NO! But you are, aren't you; it was from the shower." Sirius said. "Why are you hiding?"
Nissa looked away from him, but not even at Remus as she changed her appearance; they both grasped once they saw her. It didn't look as bad because the bleeding had stopped now, but it still looked bad; she was black and blue and cut to pieces.
"What the hell happened?" Sirius asked her. "They mustn't have just used magic."
"They did, but they also had a giant with them." Nissa told him. "Franks fine, hasn't even got a scratch made sure he was alright."
"But you didn't for yourself." Sirius shot at her. "Look at you."
"I..." Nissa tried to say.
"Maybe you should go Remus, so we can talk." Sirius told him.
Remus nodded. "If you need anything you know where to find me."
"You keep doing this to me, hiding away from me; when I only want to be with you and keep you safe." Sirius told her. "How can I when you push me away all the time, and don't let me in. I love you, can't you understand that."
"I..." Nissa tried again but still nothing.
"Let me in, stop pushing me away; I think it's about time that you tell me everything." Sirius told her. "Tell me!"
"I can't." Nissa told him.
"Tell me!" Sirius demanded.
"Fine! You want to know, then here it is." Nissa told him. "I've told you that I'm different, well I am. I'm not even from here, this place this time; I'm from the future and a different reality. Where I come from everyone knows my name and bows down at my feet..."
Sirius just stared at her taking this all in, but he was stuck at the part when she had told him that people bow down at her feet. He shock his head as he stepped backwards.
"I've got t o go." Sirius told her and disappeared.
"Damn it!" Nissa shouted, stood there alone in the kitchen.
Sirius went around to James', he stood in their kitchen unmoving, they both stared at him wondering what was wrong with him. He sat down after a while but still didn't say anything or even eat anything when Lily gave him something to eat.
"Are you coming to work?" James asked him as he got his cloak.
He didn't answer, just sat staring into space. James looked at Lily, they both they that something bad must have happened but just didn't know what.
"Keep an eye on him will you, while I go to work." James asked her, she nodded; he gave her a kiss before he left.
Lily tried to talk to him all morning but nothing, even when she brought Harry down still nothing; she had never seen him like this before, it was making her very worried.
About dinner time, Sirius suddenly got to his feet and without another word left; this though worried Lily even more and told james through the fire what had happened. He left work to go find him.
Sirius was at Remus' flat going through all of his books looking for something, and throwing them aside when he didn't find what he was looking for. Remus stood there just watching him not even sure what he should do, then James turned up.
"He hasn't said anything, just started going through all of my books." Remus told him. "But I do know that they had an argument, but I'm surprised that he left her; you should have seen her, she was bad."
"What do you mean?" James asked concerned.
"She looked as though she needed to go to hospital." Remus answered.
"This is it." Sirius announced making them both jump at the sound of his voice. He started flipping through the pages, not really taking in anything.
They sat down and watched him for a while, until finally he got up and left again but with his book; they thought this was even more. But about ten minutes later he returned holding about half a dozen more books, brand new ones as though he had just brought them.
"No idea, you?" James asked.
"Not a clue." Remus said.
Sirius went through all the books he could get his hands on, just reading them until finally he fell asleep on the floor; hours after James had gone back home leaving Remus to keep an eye on him.
Sirius woke with a start the next morning, he pushed all the books away and he got up and almost ran down the small hall to Remus' bedroom and ran in without knocking.
"We're going out, come on and get dressed!" Sirius shouted at him.
Remus rolled over pulling the pillows over his head, but Sirius jumped on the bed throwing them across the room.
"Come on Moony, this important." Sirius told him.
Remus turned back over and looked up at him. "It's first thing in the morning."
"Yes well, I need to do this straight away; get a move on." Sirius told him dragging him out of bed.
Once he was hanging over the edge he let go and left him to get dressed now that he was awake; Sirius had also changed into some old clothes that he had left behind. He looked a lot better then he did yesterday, though would have looked even better if his clothes had of been straight.
Sirius dragged him out without breakfast and went straight to the jeweller's, which this completely threw Remus for six.
"What the hell are we doing here?" Remus asked him.
"I need to make it right." Sirius told him, as he scanned over the many cases full of rings, necklaces and bracelets. "That's it; I want that one right there."
He was pointing at a white gold bracelet, with yellow gold wrapped around it; and the centre piece was a princess cut period stone, her favourite.
"A bracelet?" Remus asked, as they were leaving and Sirius had that cheesy grin back. "Well what ever you think will work."
They appeared outside of the front door to his house, he knocked then stepped back.
"Why are you knocking?" Remus asked him.
But before he could answer Nissa opened the door, he smiled at her but she didn't return his smile.
"I guess you've come for your things." Nissa said as she went back inside. "I've already done some of them; I'll go get them for you."
"But..." Sirius tried to say but she had already gone upstairs. He looked over at Remus and nodded towards the kitchen.
Nissa walked into the bedroom, fighting back the tears; when she heard a loud thud from downstairs.
"What are you doing?" Nissa shouted down to them as she walked to the top of the stairs.
She stopped dead when she saw who was stood there, he almost ran up the stairs at her and grabbed hold of her pulling her back down.
"We have to go now, he's coming; he's coming here. For you." Severus told her.
She had never seen him look so worried before it scared her a little, she had always thought him of cool and calm; she unlike others knew that he had feels like then rest of them but didn't show them.
"What are you talking about?" Nissa asked him pulling back.
"He's coming for you." Severus told her again.
She stopped at the door to the kitchen, Sirius and Remus were laying there unconscious she tried to get to them but Severus pulled her towards the door.
"Nissa please, he doesn't want them; only you." Severus told her, she looked at him and then aloud herself to be pulled out of the house by him.
He dragged her outside and up the path, looking around him all the time half expecting them to jump out on him at any moment.
"Nissa, what ever they say..." Severus started but was cut off, as half a dozen Death Eater's apperated around them. He let go of Nissa as they turned round taking everything.
They made a gap in front of them, and Voldermot himself appeared. "Thank you Severus, you may step back now."
Nissa didn't look at him as he lowered his head a stepped back into the cirle that surrounded her.
Voldermot smiled at her as he lifted his wand. "You have been a thrown in my side for far too long, but I did want the pleasure of killing you myself."
She never heard the curse he spoke, as she concentrated hard. She smiled at him as the curse hit her, but she felt nothing; nothing had happened.
"Was that meant to do something?" Nissa asked him smiling.
Voldermot looked livid, as Infidus stepped forward from his side.
"Stupid child!" Infidus shouted at her. "I'll deal with her." And he pulled out his saber and charged her, she pulled out her own and blocked ever stork.
"You'll have to do better then that, remember you could never take me; me back there." Nissa told him as she kicked him in the chest sending flying backwards into the car.
"Get her!" Voldermot shouted.
Infidus was back on his feet in a flash, but a giant appeared by Voldermot's command and throw Nissa across the street. She fell to the ground, knocking her head hard on the ground; blood slowly dipping down the side of her face.
A black shape emerged from behind the car, hovering across the ground; its rattling breath drawing in the air around it.
"You may have her." Voldermot told it lazier.
Infidus grabbed hold of Severus to stop him running out to her, as the Dementor lowered and picked her up off the ground; it lowered its head towards her pressing a kind of mouth against hers. Infidus looked away unable to watch, as Severus fought to free himself. But it was all over, the Dementor dropped her now empty body on the ground.
Severus stopped fighting against him, as he saw her laying there once that creature had glided back; he would have fell to the ground himself if Infidus hadn't had hold of him. He had failed her. She just stared at her, there was nothing; he could feel how empty she was even from where he stood.
The Dementor made to leave, but then seemed to double over in pain; they all looked over at it; none of them dared go near that thing. It started to grow lighter somehow, the black wasn't so black but grey but it didn't stop; soon it was white that was so bright that it was almost blinding then it exploded into nothingness.
"That wasn't her; she couldn't do something like that." Voldermot told them. "Destroy it I want nothing left of it, and leave the mark." Then he left not wanting to stay, he didn't know what had happened; but he wouldn't believe that she could have done it.
They all looked at one another; none of them would go near her as they walked past her. Infidus finally let Severus go, he looked at him; he looked broken as he walked slowly over to her body. He fell to the ground beside her and pulled her into his arms, the tears fell down his face; he hadn't cried since he was little. But holding her here now, she was alive but not; this was worst then her being dead.
"I'm sorry." Severus whispered as he kissed her forehead and rested her against the car. He stood up slowly; he looked down at her one last time and then left.
Higgs and Moody were making their way through the falling down house towards the kitchen; others had gone upstairs to check to see if anyone was there. They found Sirius and Remus lying in the kitchen just coming around. They bent down over them.
"Are you two alright?" Moody asked them.
They looked around, the house looked as though it had been bombed; Sirius almost jumped to his feet looking around. Remus slowly got to his beside him.
"Where is she, is she alright? Nissa where is she, she was just upstairs." Sirius demanded, trying to push past them but they wouldn't let him past.
"Sirius, I'm so sorry." Higgs told him.
"No, no you're wrong; she's fine she's fine." Sirius shouted at them. "Let me past I need to get to her."
"She's gone." Moody told him.
"No, I want to see her." Sirius told them with a lump in his throat.
"We found her outside." Higgs told him. "I'm...sorry. They must've had a Dementor with them."
"No." Sirius whispered, he looked from one to the other wanting them to tell him that it wasn't true what they were telling him; but they didn't. Tears rolled down his face as he pounded the wall, as Remus tried to get hold of him. He fell back onto his friend and they both just sack to the ground and cried.
Sirius was pacing the length of the living room angrily, while Remus sat on the sofa with Cassie in his arms. He patted his cloak pocket but couldn't fell anything inside of it, he stopped suddenly and started to root through his pockets; but he couldn't find it he had lost it.
"Looking for something Padfoot?" Remus asked smiling at him holding out a small black box.
Sirius looked over at him and smiled when he saw the box in his hand, he took it off him and then sat down beside him.

But holding her here now, she was alive but not; this was worst then her being dead.
"I'm sorry." Severus whispered as he kissed her forehead and rested her against the car. He stood up slowly; he looked down at her one last time and then left.
Higgs and Moody were making their way through the falling down house towards the kitchen; others had gone upstairs to check to see if anyone was there. They found Sirius and Remus lying in the kitchen just coming around. They bent down over them.
"Are you two alright?" Moody asked them.
They looked around, the house looked as though it had been bombed; Sirius almost jumped to his feet looking around. Remus slowly got to his beside him.
"Where is she, is she alright? Nissa where is she, she was just upstairs." Sirius demanded, trying to push past them but they wouldn't let him past.
"Sirius, I'm so sorry." Higgs told him.
"No, no you're wrong; she's fine she's fine." Sirius shouted at them. "Let me past I need to get to her."
"She's gone." Moody told him.
"No, I want to see her." Sirius told them with a lump in his throat.
"We found her outside." Higgs told him. "I'm...sorry. They must've had a Dementor with them."
"No." Sirius whispered, he looked from one to the other wanting them to tell him that it wasn't true what they were telling him; but they didn't. Tears rolled down his face as he pounded the wall, as Remus tried to get hold of him. He fell back onto his friend and they both just sack to the ground and cried.
