Out From the Mist
Severus stood there watching, as a man grew out of the mist before his very eyes; he smiled slightly to himself because its worked.
Slowly the dark haired man straighten, and there stood before him was Sirius Black. Sirius looked at him and then quickly looked around the room wondering what the hell was going on; he stepped out of the mist.
"What's going on?" Sirius demanded.
"Somehow you're back, and in my classroom it seems." Severus told him calmly. "I take it is really you; maybe we should go and see Dumbledore before you have to go back to your house."
"What, oh right yeah." Sirius said somewhat distractedly; but who could blame him considering what had just happened.
They walked out of his dungeon and up the stairs of the main entrance hall, Sirius kept looking around and over at Snape who seemed well to calm for his liking. As he past the Great Hall he saw Christmas tree's, it had been so long. Sirius stopped Severus suddenly.
"What's the date?" Sirius asked him, not completely wanting to know but he knew he needed to know it.
"It's a couple of days before Christmas." Severus answered.
They carried on walking and went up to Dumbledore's office, Severus went in first. Dumbledore looked up from his work and smiled somewhat at him, and then when Sirius came in behind him he just stared not taking in who was stood there with Severus. Dumbledore stood up and walked round his desk, as Severus walked over to it with Sirius at his side.
"This can't be." Dumbledore said.
"Tell me about it." Sirius said. "But it seems as though I'm here; I don't know how though. I don't really remember much about what's happened."
"That is a shame because that was going to be one of my questions of course." Dumbledore told him.
"I went into my classroom this morning, and there he was growing out of this mist on the ground." Severus told him. "Very strange if I do say so, and in my classroom of all places. Personally if you were coming back, I would never have thought that you would have come back in my classroom; not that many people won't be glad that you are back."
Sirius wasn't paying full attention to him, but who could blame him considering everything, even Dumbledore was completely paying attention to what Severus was saying, he was just pleased that Sirius was back and well.
After explaining what ever they knew to Dumbledore, which wasn't a lot; Severus didn't volunteer any information he didn't have to. Dumbledore sent them back to Sirius' house where Harry and the Weasley's were staying for Christmas.
Both Severus and Sirius went by Floo Powder, but Sirius couldn't face anyone; facing Dumbledore was hard enough especially how he reacted he couldn't take everyone's at the moment and not all at once, he needed to get his head sorted out first, so he went straight up to his bedroom; while Severus went down into the kitchen to explain what was happening.
Harry looked up from his plate when he heard someone coming down the stairs; he wasn't at all pleased to see who it was.
"What are you doing here?" Harry asked him.
"I was dropping someone off for you, and giving you some good news; well what you would consider good news that is." Severus told him calmly.
"And what would that be?" Harry asked.
"Sirius Black, he just grew out of the ground and was stood there alive right there, in front of me in my classroom." Severus answered, while everyone groped at him thinking that this was one of his sick jokes; though really they couldn't remember him telling a joke of any kind. "It was quite remarkable infact, but it is him; and he's up stairs."
"What?" Harry said jumping to his feet.
"He told me to tell you that he wanted to be alone for a while." Severus told him. "He'll come down when he's ready of course. So you should leave him for now."
Harry didn't know what to say, neither did anyone else but they all believed him they didn't know why he would lie about something like this. And even though Harry didn't like it he sat back down at Remus' request.
Sirius Black sat on his bed, back at his families house wondering how this all came about; he still didn't know why he was here, why he was alive when he should be dead. But here he was alive and well, well in most terms; but the lost and pain that he had been holding in for so long was now tearing him apart.
He was back, but he was alone without the woman he loved; he needed her now more then any thing else in the world. But he had lost her all those years ago, he could still hear her voice before she left him; he knew that her soul was still intact even after what had happened to her.
He lay back on his bed and closed his eyes and then he heard a song playing from one of the other room's but he had heard it before; oh god how much it paid him to hear this song.
Hold on to me love
You know I can't stay long
All I want 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 taste it in you 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
The tears rolled down his face, as the song finished and wrapped his arms around himself as though he could feel her holding him now; he fell asleep with the beautiful thought of her being here with him still.
(A/N: - The song is from Evanescence, My Last Breath, off the album fallen.
Please review it'll depend on how many I get if I'll carry on writing, or if I like this story so much myself I'll just write, but it's up to you what you do.
