AN: I know some people skip over the song lyrics in the beginning because they think they are boring or pointless, but I really think this is a pretty song and I posted it because I think it describes Emily's feelings.
DISCLAIMER: I don't own anything you recognize.
The cries of the city like a siren song
Wailing over the roof tops, the whole nightlong
Saw a shooting star, like a diamond in the sky
Must be someone's soul, passing by
These are the streets were, we used to run, were your papa's from
These are the days were, you become what you become
These are the streets were the stories told, the truth unfolds, and darkness settles in
Shine your light down on me
Lift me up so I can see
Shine your light when you're gone
Give me the strength to carry on
Don't want to be a hero, just an everyday man
Trying to do the job, the very best you can
But now its like living up, for old times
Out on the rim, over the line
Always tempting fate, like a game of chance
Never want to stick around, till the very last dance
Sometimes you stumble and take a hard fall
Loose hold your grip, off the wall
Shine your light, down on me
Lift me up, so I can see
Shine your light, when you're gone
Give me the strength to carry on
Thought I saw him walking, by the side of the road
Maybe trying to find his way home
He's here but not here
He's gone but not gone
Just hope he knows, if I get lost
Shine your light, down on me
Lift me up, so I can see
Shine your light, when you're gone
Give me the strength to carry on
-Robbie Robertson(Ladder 49 Soundtrack)-Awesome song!
Chapter 8-Shine Your Light
Emily woke a few hours later. She had been having a dream about Sirius. He kept telling her he loved her and that he loved the baby and that everything would be okay. She realized the commotion outside her room through the observation glass. Kingsley was out there, so was Molly, who was hugging Remus. It was the real Remus, not Sirius, Emily could just tell. Remus was crying and looked as if he had been doing so for a while. Arthur and Tonks were hugging. It was then that she noticed the letter beside her bed. She gently picked it up and unfolded it.
Emily,
If you wake and I'm not here, don't worry. I went home for a little while. I'm sorry for leaving but I'm so tired and I'm hungry, and no offence but the hospital food sucks. I just wanted to tell you that I'm proud of you and I love you more than words can describe. Our son is perfect and in the few hours I've known him, I already love him as much as I do you. Kingsley has come to tell me that Voldemort has Harry, and you know me, I'm going to go save him. Don't be mad, everything will be okay. I'll see you when you wake.
All My Love,
Sirius
Emily looked up to see Remus entering her room. His eyes were red and puffy and his cheeks stained with tears. Tears began to fill her eyes, she knew what had happened, there was no use in explaining. Remus came over and embraced her with a big hug.
"He.. he.." Remus tried to get out.
"I know-" Emily said her own voice cracking know. "I know"
Emily stared out the hospital window, children were playing on the streets below. Muggle cops zoomed by, their sirens blaring. Maybe someone was experiencing a misfortune too. Maybe someone else knows what it feels like to lose someone you love. Twice.
When Emily returned home she tried not to think of herself at this point, she had a baby to think about. She prayed that night, wherever Sirius was, she knew he was happy and that he would watch over her and their baby. When Emily went back to Grimmauld place, Sirius' presence was everywhere. It wasn't fair she thought to herself. She had lost him twice. It's funny the way history repeats itself. She told herself when he escaped Azkaban not to get involved with him, she would only get hurt. But she had no regrets, she loved him more than ever, he gave her a baby and he made her stronger. She understood and thanked god, the baby was born early for a reason. God wanted Sirius to see his baby before he left their lives.
She decided to visit Harry, Dumbledore said Harry was having a hard time in accepting his death.
Harry was staring at the marauders map. He watched as the students, most in the Great Hall. That's when Harry realized there were 3 new people that just entered the school. Minerva McGonagall, Emily Dimintrov, and Sirius Black. Harry got up and left the common room. He ran down the corridors. His heart was pounding fast and echoing through his ears. He's alive he thought, He's back. Harry had a big smile on his face as he leapt down the stairs. His excitement over powering him, he yelled out "Sirius!" he jumped down a few more stairs, "Sirius!". He was know in view of the three people. "Emily, where's Sirius." Tears started to fill her eyes, Harry was confused. "The marauders map, it said Sirius Black, it said he was here." Harry said his smile starting to fade as he raked his head along the Great Hall looking for Sirius. Professor McGonagall turned in view of Harry. She was holding a bundle. Emily took the bundle from her and went over to Harry.
"This Harry," Emily began tears still in her eyes "Is Sirius James Black."
Tears began to form in Harry's own eyes. "He looks just like him" Harry smiled up at Em. They spent the rest of the Afternoon together, talking about Sirius, the baby, the future, and death.
Alright that's the end. I have an idea and it would be a part three to this story but I'm not sure when I'll have the time to type it up. Most probably in the next three weeks I'll post somthing like a prolauge or something close to that. Thanks for all your reviews, you guys were great. And I started another story and I won't tell what it's about exactly but I actually have faith in it and I really think it's awesome and the best I've ever done. Check it out it's called She Will Be Loved. It's another Sirius story, and I really like it.
