Epilogue

Raine stared lonely at the crowds in Hogsmeade from a table situated next to a window in the Three Broomsticks. It would be the first Christmas since their datingshe would share without Sirius. At the thought of him her heart tore itself into smaller pieces.

She wouldn't…she couldn't believe that Sirius was a murder; especially when he supposedly murdered James and Lily. The whole wizarding world was in limbo. Firstly they were celebrating the end of Voldmort, many believing that he was dead and then crying at the lost of a wonderful, courageous couple.

She had been there at the Potter's trail when Sirius was sentence. He struggled at the bonds which held him and continuously shouted out until some one placed a silence charm on the once heart throb of Hogwarts. She had caught his dark eyes for a few seconds and willed him to see that she believed in him. She had thought she had seen him nodding ever so slightly as a sign of gratitude but there was nothing she could do and they both knew it.

His future was sealed as witness after witness came to point out that he was the one that killed Peter Pettigrew. Sirius figure slumped in the chair as the Committee read out their sentence – life imprisonment in Azkaban.

Raine sucked in her breath. Nooo! She wailed inside. He didn't do it! He loved them. He has been a loyal support to the good side! You got it all wrong!

Now here she was, sitting alone with tears running down her face with no one to comfort her. She knew that this loneliness was her paying for being a spy against Voldemort. Everyone thought she was an actual Death Eater and not pretending to be one. She suspected that Remus believe her cover fully and blamed her for Sirius' mad killing spree on the Potters and Wormtail.

Sirius. Her thoughts always returned to him. She brought memories of him smiling and laughing wildly when James and Lily asked if he would like to be Harry's godfather. His answer, "Try and stop you! The boy is going to be the best Marauder ever!"

He still was the most handsome man ever to walk this earth and she extremely happy that their relationship had continued to grow strong ever after Hogwarts. Of course like every couple they were straining at the threat which He Who Must Not Be Named was causing.

At one late evening, Raine had suggested that they cooled their relationship as she could see the suspicion that it was causing between him and Remus but Sirius blankly refuse to hear it. When they were in bed, half wake Sirius murmured into her hair that she was the most important thing to him in his life and that friends would come and go but love was the thing to hold onto.

Lost in thought, Raine did not a see a figure sitting in front of her until it spoke.

"Long time Raine," softly spoken.

Raine jumped at being interrupted from her wandering and gasped.

"Zelda?" she whispered unsure if she was dreaming.

"The one and only," smiled an exhausted Zel. She ran a hand throw her curly, uncontrollable brown hair.

"It's been three years!"

"Times flies fast when you're defeating Voldemort," retorted Zelda with humour in her violet eyes.

Raine faced resembled a goldfish as she started at the woman who saved her from a horrible ending all those years ago.

"I heard about Sirius", Zelda again broke into Raine's thought; "we can't help him legally. There is no evidence to help him but I have no doubt that he is innocent."

"You are the only one after me!" said Raine bitterly. "I need him Zel!" Tears again poured out of Raine's blue eyes.

"I know", replied Zel offering comfort, "but he's probably lost from us forever."

"I don't know what to do now!" Raine cried aloud.

"Just because some fools think that Voldemort is dead doesn't mean he is," said Zelda. "This war is far from over Raine and the Order of Phoenix needs everyone."
