Author's Note- Hey! I just have some things I need to clear up before the next chapter. I've had a lot of questions about Lasarus' mum. Don't worry it will be explained later on in the story. Also I'm terribly sorry I made it seem like Lasarus isn't proud to be Sirius' daughter. That's not true. She is very proud. It's just she has a hard time expressing her emotions and she is mad at him for leaving her like that, but it's all understandable right? Also you have to understand that when she was younger and the news of her father being a mass murderer got out she was shunned and mad at her father. She didn't know what to be believe. Plus kids constantly picked on her at school because of her father. Also, she doesn't favor Remus over Sirius. She loves them both. She grew up with Remus and he was there for her when she needed someone. Well, alright, I hope that cleared everything up. Also this chapter is mostly a flashback. Well here is chapter 2...
Chapter 2, The Last Time
"I'm going to find a compartment before they all fill up." I said hugging Remus.
The only empty compartment I could find was in the very back. I took a seat and looked out the window. Everywhere I looked there was people. I watched a family that were standing right outside my window. They were a happy family, with a mother, and a father, and a little girl. She looked like a first year. She was crying as her parents hugged her one at a time. Then she turned slowly and headed to a compartment. Her parents smiled and waved as they watched her go. For some reason this brought back a painful memory...
A little girl, about four, with long black hair and sparkling hazel eyes sat playing with her toys.
"Lasarus! How's my little girl?" A man with black hair that fell to his shoulders and deep blue eyes asked, picking her up.
"Daddy!"
He swung her around playfully before standing her up. He knelt down so that he could look into her eyes. She knew something was wrong. Her daddy was extremely pale, and he was shaking.
"Daddy, what's wrong? Do you want to play with me. We could have a tea party." she said innocently.
"Lasarus, listen. Daddy needs to go away and take care of some things. I might not be back for a long time. You're going to stay with Uncle Remus. Promise me you'll be good."
"No daddy. You can't go!"
"I have to. Just promise me."
She nodded slowly, starting to cry.
"Here, take this. Some people might say things about me that aren't true. Don't listen to them. Listen to your heart. This is to remember me the way I really am. The way you know me now, and to remember who you are." he said as he took a silver chain off his neck and put it on the girl. At the end of the chain was a beautiful star pendant with his name, Sirius Black, engraved on it.
"It was given to me by your mother." He looked into her tear stained face and then pulled her into a tight hug. They stayed like that for a long moment. It wasn't long enough. Then a man she recognized as uncle Remus walked up behind them and put a comforting hand on Sirius' shoulder.
"Sirius, you have to go. Wormtail is going to be there shortly. If you want to confront him you have to leave now." He said gently.
Sirius slowly pulled away. He wiped the tears from her eyes with his thumb.
"I love you." He whispered, "Always remember that." Then he slowly stood up and that's when she noticed a tear stream down his face. That was the second time she ever saw her daddy cry.
"No! Don't go!" she sobbed.
"Daddy! Please!"
He slowly walked to the door, silent tears streaming down his face. He looked at her one last time, and then he was gone.
She cried, she screamed, she threw her toys. When Remus came to pick her up she kicked and punched. But nothing would bring her daddy back.
And that was the last time I ever really saw him.
Well how did everyone like chapter 2! Was it sad? Did it make you cry? I almost did! Sorry it was so short, but I wanted the flashback to be all one chapter. Anyways here are the thank yous.
Sweet 16 Movie Bluff: Thank you! You'll find out more about her mum later on in the story, so don't worry!
madderthanyou: Thanks for the review! I'm glad you like it.
Kaleidoscope: Thanks a bunch! The situation with her mum will be explained later on in the story. Even though I explained this at the beginning of the chapter I think it's important to explain it again. Lasarus is proud to be Sirius' daughter. Trust me! I'm sorry I made it seem like she wasn't. It's just she boxes up most of her emotions because she feels like they make her weak. And she misses her father terribly. But she loves Remus too. But she doesn't favor him over Sirius. You'll also find later on that she is protective of her father. Thanks for the suggestion! It came in handy. Sorry for talking so much! :p
lupin-luver-72: Yeah full moons do suck! I was thinking about "The Weird Sisters" but I wanted something...I don't know...different I guess. Thanks for the suggestions, I'll give them a thought! I'll keep writing if you keep reading! Lol :p
ariana silverwood: Thank you! I'm glad you like it! I hope you liked this chapter!
Thanks again, and don't forget to review on your way out!
