Over the Veil - a pointless SiriusComesBack! Cookie
Remus walked into the room, knowing it would be painful. The veil was in there, innocently waving in the invisible breeze. He'd never have guessed that only a week before, the bloody thing had taken his last friend's life. Sirius… just gone. Remus shut his eyes, trying to kill the images flashing through his mind. Harry was heartbroken, and Remus was right behind him It was a horrid memory for everyone. Waking over to the veil, Remus strained to hear the whispering voices behind the shroud of death. He sighed, missing the brief time at 12 Grimmauld Place, when they had been in each other's company, that they could almost imagine it was like old times when James and Lily were on a date, and Wormtail wasn't to be found.
Remus rubbed his forehead wearily, knowing that it was insane that he was standing in front of the veil, hoping to catch Sirius's voice amidst the whispers. He sighed with frustration, and turned to face the veil. His next motion was even crazier than anything he'd done so far.
"Sirius," Remus began, his voice close to cracking as he spoke to the black curtain, "I know it's only been twenty hours since I was last here, to say goodbye to you. But I just can't help myself. You're the best friend a werewolf could ask for." Remus had to stop as he began tearing up. He shuddered. Unbeknownst to him, a large beam of light began materializing behind his back, from the ceiling to the floor. Within it, a man's body grew from dust particles, the light shimmering around him as he appeared. The man waved and smiled at the ceiling. Remus noticed an odd shadow being cast on the veil, and turned around to see Sirius standing there with a wild grin, staring at his hand.
Remus let out a rather girly shriek, clapped his hand over his mouth and hit the floor in a dead faint. Sirius frowned at his limp body, sprawled in a swoon-like position.
"Well, gee," he said grouchily, "if you wanted to know how I got back, all you had to do was ask -- I requested that Captain Kirk and Mr. Spock beam me back. Big mishap, really, that I ended up on the Enterprise and all."
