A/N: Everything behind the Veil is what I see, please do not take it! Or my plot either! Anyway hope you enjoy! It's kind of hard to describe the genre of this story. May be some mystery, drama, action, and romance so I'm not quite sure. It's basically based around Sirius Black, (OC) Hunter Simons, Harry Potter, Tom Riddle, and the Chamber of Secrets.
Summary: Moaning Myrtle died because of the Basilisk and Ginny was the only one to be brought to the chamber, what if there was another who willingly went there then disappeared? What if she came back years later with a Sirius Black?
Chapter Three: My Soul Mate?
If your reading this now you must like my… well what would you call it? Research? Doesn't matter though. Anyway so far we have witnessed Hunter Simons Death and what's beyond that. We have also tripped over a certain lovable pooch AKA Sirius Black or Padfoot or Snuffles. Now let's see what happens when they go through the Veil, perhaps they don't only time will tell.
Sirius managed to get through the Veil, however he still had to pull Hunter through. With a tug he tried. Here is where the strange happenings start. Hunter did go into the Veil but then time seemed to stand still for a moment. Then whispers, lots of whispers were heard, thing is they were very loud whispers. All seemed to be going well until they felt pain like no other, which is saying something if you have ever been under a Crutacius Curse.
Sirius on the other side of the Veil, collapsed and fell to his knees never letting go the girl still stuck between. Crying out in pain he started to glow a dark blue which faded into light blue as some of that energy flowed into the Veil and onto Hunter. Trying not to scream from the knife-like jabs he was feeling all over, he gave one mighty tug on the girl. Screaming in pain, Hunter Amelia Simons was pulled from the Veil.
Panting they both sat up and Sirius was the first to break the silence that had followed, "What the fuck was that?"
"No idea, but it was painful." They both sounded as if they had run for miles. If you think about it they kind of had after all it is a long way from the Land of the Dead to the Living. The Veil being no shortcut, just another path you could chose to take. "What now?"
"I think we have to talk with the Headmaster but first," He paused to take another panting breath, "We need to get you some other clothes!"
Ok while our friends are going on a small shopping spree that should get Hunter a new wardrobe lets follow a certain jet-black haired, green eyed, bespectacled Auror. The legend, Harry Potter, is sitting in his office right now, thinking about one mangy mutt. He has long since stopped mourning but he still hasn't forgotten. Who could forget Sirius Black?
With a knock on the door Ronald Weasley and Neville Longbottom entered, they were his partners. "All right Harry?" the redhead dares ask.
Forcing on a smile Harry nods, "Yeah I'll be fine! So what's new today?"
"Well Dumbledore owled and said he's expecting two people at the Order's Headquarters. He says we would probably want to meet them." Neville answered. Now we all know of these surprise visitors but I am still stumped to as how the Headmaster knew they were coming. I hope you all know where the Headquarters is, Black Family Home. I can not say anymore on that subject, for I don't want to be the reason that the Death Eaters find them if this information got into the wrong hands.
Harry sighed, being an Order member and an Auror became difficult when one got busy with all the work and meetings. Luckily though being an Order Member and an Auror means you do roughly the same things. Just that the Ministry ties down an Auror, and not the Order. "Ok so when do we leave?"
"Right now! I want to see who these people are and why Dumbledore thinks them so special that we all have to meet them!" Ron voiced. Laughing they exited to go see the old man.
Now it took Mr. Potter, Mr. Weasley, and Mr. Longbottom almost no time to get to the Headquarters. Everyone else in the Order was also present. Of course they were, they all missed Sirius and would want to see him again. Although they had no idea this is the person they would meet. It's quite scary but even Snape missed him, he would just never admit it.
Sirius and Hunter had both gotten there earlier then any of the Order members and with Dumbledore's orders hid upstairs. The old man thought it was a bloody surprise party or something. With Sirius' money they had bought some muggle clothes from a store near Diagon Alley. Sirius wore simple clothes of jeans and a black T-shirt that fit him just right. While Hunter wore a black skirt and a royal purple halter-top that matched her eyes perfectly.
Now when Harry, Neville, and Ron arrived they were ushered into the kitchen where everyone was waiting by the Weasley Twins, whose business was sky rocketing, I might add.
"So who are these important people, Headmaster?" Harry asked kind of hopefully since he didn't want to be dragged from work for nothing and by everyone's faces they thought along the same lines.
"Hold on now Harry! Remus if you would please open the door I think our guests have been listening!"
Remus quite used to the old man's predictions by now did as he was asked (being the closest to the kitchen door). With a soft creak the door was pulled wide and a man fell to the floor revealing a very amused young girl.
"SIRIUS BLOODY BLACK! I warned you about that!" she grinned amusedly.
Now I must tell you that the whole room was silent and in shock as they watched the said man climb up off the floor and grin at all the people in the room. It took them a good 10 seconds to realize that Sirius indeed was not dead and was standing in front of them. After that many people who missed him tackled him to the floor. Although some people were able to contain themselves, like Snape and Dumbledore and didn't join them.
The girl merely stepped over them and joined the Headmaster, they only one she really knew there. After about an hour or two of going though everything that had happened while Sirius was gone the Headmaster decided he best explain their situation.
Harry's and everyone else's heads spun towards the Headmaster as he cleared his throat, apparently having something he needed to say. Only then did everyone else notice the girl. She was quite pretty with her mysterious purple eyes and long wavy black hair. But that was something Harry shouldn't dwell on, at this moment at least.
"Now I'm sure we all know Sirius Black," That twinkle was back in his eye, the one that made people suspect he knew something they didn't, "Now I'm sure some of you may recognize Miss Simons here." Murmurs started around by a few of the older adults there, which really confused Harry and the other youngins. I mean come on, she had to be what sixteen and Harry didn't even recognize her and he was 20 now.
Remus Lupin cleared his throat. He looked less shabbier then usual since he did manage to get another job. Also it could be that the moon was no where near full. "Headmaster does that mean this is Hunter Simons? The prefect that disappeared?" As I have said before, probably in my chapter before this I said Sirius wasn't a very calculatory person, and Hunter was, well so is Remus. Dumbledore nodded which ended the whispers and they all started talking, quite loud.
"Headmaster that's not possible!"
"She would have to be like… 45!"
"Wow you look good!"
"What's going on here?"
Yes these were some of the conversations that were going on. Everyone was yelling now trying to be heard over the other. However being a great wizard like Dumbledore has its advantages. Like the fact he only needs to raise his hand and everyone falls quiet. Imagine if teachers could do that, we would live in a strange New World. Well this is what he did.
When everyone fell silent the Headmaster spoke, "Now, I would like to tell you that I know how this has happened, but I do not, unfortunately know. However I must tell you that Sirius and Hunter are Soul Mates…"
"WHAT!?" Sirius and Hunter yelled at the same time. They stood up so fast they knocked over their chairs with a loud bang.
"I DON'T EVEN LIKE THAT BLOODY GIT!"
"SHE'S BLOODY INSANE!"
"WHAT!? No I'm not!"
"Are too!"
"Are not!"
"Headmaster!?" They both looked at him for some kind of explanation.
He chuckled before motioning for them to sit. They did shooting daggers at each other from across the table. "Now what I meant is that you both share the same soul!"
"What?" That was everyone in the small kitchen this time.
"Sirius fell behind the Veil, true but he was not dead as Hunter was. Which means he had a soul,
Hunter did not so he had to share in order to bring her through the Veil." He explained.
Ok I'm about due for another educational paragraph so here it is. When you die, your spirit is mostly your personality and whatever makes it unique. That's why in Death, Hunter kept most of her personality traits. The shy, quiet, cautious part was not there however. That is because these are feelings run by a conscience. A conscience is a permanent fixture that comes with a brain so her conscience was stuck with her body. Now when you die you become just your spirit as I have said, so why would Hunter need part of a soul when in fact she would need a body? Well a soul is just the thing that holds together a body and spirit. So Hunter did not have hers. She took, without knowing it, part of Sirius'. When you die having your Soul removed isn't painful at all because, well, you're dead. When you're alive or in Hunter's case, becoming alive it can be quite painful as our two friends have experienced. When you have a soul put back into your spirit it has to create a new body for you, which can be awfully painful as well. Most of the time the new body looks like whatever your spirit looks like, but there have been cases that say otherwise but not this one. Now do you get it? Possibly? Maybe? Good.
"So um how did you die?" Someone asked, Hunter was too busy staring down Sirius to pay much attention. She leaned back in her chair and her eyes glazed over, as she went back into a memory. Everyone thought that her silence meant she wouldn't answer but surprising them all, she did.
"It was night time and I was scared stiff in the Gryfindor Common Room. Brave? Ha! I hadn't ever been so scared and I can't believe I just told you that." She got a few laughs for that. "There already had been a few attacks on the students, well on my kind, muggle-borns. But being a Prefect meant I had to do my duties so getting as much Gryfindor Courage that I could muster I had left for my patrol. My roommates were already in our dorm and I never even said goodbye or where I was going. Anyway I walked down the halls, not really paying attention to where I was going, my feet lead the way. My head was ducked and I was listening intently. For what? I had no clue. Then I heard a sound, kind of like a scraping so I decided to investigate. It was coming from the girl's bathroom. At first I thought it was Myrtle, she was always crying in there and I always tried to help her so I walked in. Instead of finding either Myrtle or a Snogging couple I found my boyfriend. He was disappearing into the floor…"
"The Chamber of Secrets…" whispered Harry.
"Ah yea Mr.…"
"Potter, Harry Potter." A thoughtful look passed over her face as she contemplated what he had just said.
"Son of James Potter and Lily Evans." Sirius helped out.
She nodded before continuing her explanation of her death, "So I swallowed my fears and followed him to Merlin knows what. Once I got to the large Chamber I finally decided to chicken out. I turned and came face to face with my boyfriend. I don't remember our exact conversation but he let it slip that he was letting the Basilisk out…"
"Tom Riddle…" Ginny's turn to whisper.
Hunter nodded again, "Yes. Prefect, Slytherin, Half-blood. He told me about power and how I should join him. I refused. He almost raped me there but I managed to escape. I ended up going down the wrong pipe with a very large and dangerous snake at my tail. I tripped and fell. Trying to crawl away it bit me. I kicked it and it fled, for now. Then I stumbled about trying to get out. I collapsed and died." Hunter shrugged as if it was no big deal.
Harry all of a sudden had a large feeling of rage course through him. He stood up knocking over his chair, hands in fists. "IT'S YOUR FAULT THEN! YOU COULD HAVE STOPPED VOLDEMORT FROM EVER HAPPENING!"
Hunter also stood up angry of being accused; "IT IS NOT MY FAULT! YOU TRY RUNNING FROM A GREAT BIG SNAKE AND TRY TO THINK RATIONALY AT THE SAME TIME!"
"I HAVE! I ALSO MANAGED TO KILL IT!"
"Oh," This was all Hunter could say.
"IF YOU HADN'T DIED VOLDEMORT WOULDN'T HAVE HAPPENED AND I WOULD STILL BE LIVING WITH MY PARENTS! ITS. YOUR. BLOODY. FAULT!"
Glaring at The-Boy-That-Lived, Hunter Amelia Simons stalked out of the kitchen and with a loud bang of the door they knew she had left the building. What a stupid line! Remus and Mad Eye Moody left the room to go and silence Mrs. Black's portrait that no one had succeeded in removing from the wall. Harry sat shaking with anger at the person, the one person, that could have destroyed Voldemort from ever happening. He was quite aware that everyone was looking at him now.
"Harry," Sirius said softly resting a comforting hand on his shoulder, "It's not her fault. Even if she had got out I'm sure she would have died before reaching the Headmaster. Besides everyone who's ever fallen at the hands of Voldemort would have to be accused of not stopping him as well. That includes your parents."
Harry knew his godfather was right. Sighing he relaxed. Besides if he blamed her he would have to blame himself for not destroying him all those times he had actually fought the Dark Lord and lived. "You're right."
Although some of you may be angry at Harry's outburst but you have to think. Sometimes we all act before thinking, some more then others and this is just another time for Harry. After all who could blame him. If there had been some small chance that my parents could have lived then I too would have gotten angry if that path had not been pursued. Once more I must say this, Poor girl. Hunter may just be experiencing some many years of bad luck, well in my opinion I think she is.
Grinning Sirius continued, "Of course I am! Besides I'm pretty sure she has only a small clue to who this Voldemort is!" Harry nodded once more.
Suddenly Sirius fell from his chair with a cry in pain. Sprawled on the ground he held one hand to his chest while the other tried to prop himself up. Tonks and Harry helped him to his feet everyone asking if he was ok. With his face twisted up in a pained look he managed to sit back down again.
"It seems Hunter can only walk so far away from Sirius without causing each other pain." Dumbledore sighed.
Yes I am due for another educational paragraph. You see when you share the same soul; you're connected with that person who shares it with you. Suddenly you know everything about the other person. If someone asked you a question about the other, you would know it easily. Also when I said connected you kind of are, there's like an invisible string that attaches to each of you. You can only walk so far away then you start to stretch the string. But it's not the string that feels the pain it's you and the other one. Get it? It's like twins. No wait that doesn't describe it. It's like one person spilt into two. Same person, same thoughts but different bodies. That's slightly better. I can't describe to you the string thing any better though.
Now I'm afraid this is where I leave you because I'm not sure where Hunter has gone at this moment. Do not worry though, she shall be found whether by me or not is for another time. Check back soon because our friend still has a big part in this war.
END OF CHAPTER
A/N: Well that's it so far. Harry is frustrated. Sirius is back and so is Hunter. It seems we have some mysteries on our hands. Also I wonder if Harry and Hunter can get along. Must stay tuned!
Coming Up: Hunter's an Aunt! Hermione has some magic in her family, why is it only now she figures it out? Where did Hunter go? But the big important question is: Where will Sirius and Hunter stay? Family reunions, Arguments, Surprises and Now they have to figure out how to escape the Ministry's watchful and curious eye.
Please do not let this information out! Lets just say many things in our Universe would not be at piece if greedy people and scientists searched and proved my theories and discoveries. Some things are just not made to be tampered with, like a rose. It may be tempting to pick but unless you're careful it's going to cause someone or something pain.
