Chapter Nine


James came home from Sirius's house. He looked a lot more hopeful than he did when he left.

After not seeing Sirius for two weeks, James began to worry. He tried to hide it, but I could see right through him. I told him to go, for he was the only person Sirius now could trust.

I was very surprised when he fell for Hedwig. Sirius was a very happy-go-lucky person, while Hedwig was very icy and antisocial. Or so I thought. Once Sirius and she started dating, she slowly came out of her Slytherin shell.

She and I became very close toward the end. I had even asked her to be the maid of honor at our wedding. I was to be hear maid of honor too.

James is talking but I hear no sound. The grief of Hedwig's death is pouring back. I sit down on a chair and sob into my hands. I feel James put his arm around my shoulders and try to tell me it was O.K.

But was it?
