My Last Breath

Sirius sat in the cold dark damp ceil, staring at the four walls; he didn't know how long he had been in there it already felt like an eternity. He spent most of the time in his dog form; it didn't seem to have the same effect on him. And he couldn't take seeing their face's anymore.

He heard someone coming towards him; he knew it wasn't a Dementor because they didn't make a sound they didn't walk. He quickly changed back as the door opened, a man stood there; he knew that he knew him from somewhere but couldn't put his figure on it.

"I have a present something to make your stay a little better." He told him, and pulled someone else into view.

Sirius thought in was in a nightmare, that this was just his mind playing tricks on him.

"You did this to her, she probably knew what you were up too all along." He told him as he lead her inside, her blank eyes looking down into pained tired eyes.

He sat her down on the floor, she did nothing just sit there.

"You killed her, just like you killed the Potter's and Pettigrew." He told him. "Enjoy your stay Black."

He turned room and slammed the barred doors close behind him and walked back down the corridor. Sirius just sat there for a moment staring at her, and then crawled over to her and pulled her into his arms and cried.

She still felt warm to touch her warm energy flowed through him making him warmer and feeling safe.

He fell asleep finally against the cold hard wall with her safely in his arms, he knew she wasn't really there with him; but it made him feel a little better just to be able to hold her, it had been so long.

He was in a deep sleep far away from here when he heard her voice.

'Hold on to me love'

He woke with a start at hearing her voice in his mind, it had been so long but it still sounded the same as though she was there with him still; he looked at her. She still had a blank glazed look, he shock his head knowing that it couldn't have been her.

"Could it? Was it you?" Sirius asked aloud, but she said nothing of course.

He lay back down and rested his head onto hers, and held her tightly; it wasn't really for her but for him.

'Can you hear me?

Can you feel me in your arms?'

"Oh god." Sirius whispered. "You can't be, don't please; stop it."

There was nothing again, was he sure he wanted her stop what ever it was she was doing; if she was doing anything.

"Are you still in there?" Sirius asked her; she didn't answer him as looked longingly at her to speak. "I'm sorry, I never stopped loving you; I still do now. You told me the truth what I always wanted and I walked out, when I should have told you it was alright."

'Hold me.'

Sirius obeyed, he held her and kissed her forehead.

"I promise that one day, I'll make all this right; and I'll get us out of here." Sirius promised her. "We can all live together; and we can get married. I have the ring, I read this thing after what you told me; and I found out something. I got you a bracelet, I hope that's right."

This time he felt her, her arms around him and her lips against his cheeks; he didn't know how she was doing it but he didn't care. She was there she was still in there, he was going to get her back.

Three years had past since Sirius had been sent to Azkaban.

He spent most of his time in his dog form crawled up in Nissa's lap, or doing a little bit of excise. She had gotten a little better over the years, but you would never know by just looking at her; because she still looked the same. But he could feel it.

Late that afternoon, almost night; they had a visited. A man in long black robes with his hood up came into the cell; he looked at Sirius and then bent down in front of Nissa.

Sirius didn't hear a word what he said to her, but saw him slip something around her neck; he kissed her on the cheek and then stood. He bowed his head slightly to the two of them before he left.

After he was gone Sirius quickly moved over to her, he couldn't see what he had given her; there was nothing.

"Don't worry, everything's fine." Sirius told her, but he could feel that something wasn't there was something different.

'Hold on to me love'

He held her tightly, and kissed her forehead and then kissed her; her voice came clearly into his mind more so then it had done since she had been whole.

'Hold on to me love

You know I can't stay long

All I wanted to say was I love you and I'm not afraid

Can you hear me?

Can you feel me in your arms?

Holding my last breath

Safe inside myself

Are all my thoughts of you

Sweet raptured light

It ends here tonight

I'll miss the winter

A world of fragile things

Look for me in the white forest

Hiding in a hollow tree (Come find me)

I know you hear me

I can feel it in your tears

Holding my last breath

Safe inside myself

Are all my thoughts of you

Sweet raptured light

It ends here tonight

Closing your eyes to disappear

You pray your dreams will leave you here

But still you wake and know the truth

No one's there

Say goodnight

Don't be afraid

Calling me calling me as you fade to black'

Tears rolled down his face onto hers, and he pulled her into his arms knowing what was to come; praying that it wouldn't happen. But he could already feel it, the heat coursing through her body; it was to hot for him to hold onto as he let go of her.

He felt her hand touch his face reassuringly and kiss his lips one last time; before she left him. She smiled as she was engulfed in flames, she washed over him as she floated out of the ceil leaving with him the warmth of her soul always on him.

(Well, I hoped you enjoyed the series, if you did let me know, and what you thought of it. And if you think that I should do one more, after Sirius escape's from prison; well that's only if you don't want Sirius to stay dead of course. Anyway, thanks for reading.)
