Chapter 33: A Memory
It was sunny and bright. The kind of day where everyone squints, even if they have sunglasses on. Faith, Sirius, Sarah, Remus, Lily, James and baby Harry all sat in the shade of a tree in a large muggle park. It was August and Harry had only turned one two weeks ago. The group as seated on a small hill that overlooked a small lake down below. Harry kept standing up, walking a few steps before falling down and yelling some obscene baby language, which made the group laugh.
"Come here Harry." Faith said opening her arms to him. Harry stood up and walked the whole two steps towards her before falling into her arms. She just laughed and turned him towards his mother. His started walking towards Lily when there was a scream. They looked off and saw a muggle woman standing up and screeching as she held a limp girl in her arms.
"She's stopped breathing!" The woman kept yelling. Faith immediately stood up and began running towards the woman and child. Sirius tried to stand up and grab her to ask what she was doing but he tripped and a small velvet black box came tumbling out of his pocket. He quickly picked it up before running after Faith, leaving James and Remus to explain to Sarah and Lily about the box. Sirius caught up with Faith as she reached the woman.
"She's not breathing." The woman said as Faith took the child from her and set her on the ground. She tipped the girl's head back and put her cheek close to the girl's mouth.
"What are you doing?" Sirius asked.
"CPR." The woman who was apparently the girl's mother said. After a few short seconds of Faith blowing into the girl's mouth and pushing on her chest , the girl opened her eyes. She looked around at her surroundings and then threw up all over Faith.
"Lovely." Faith said sarcastically as she leaned back and looked at her blouse.
"Oh Thank you Thank you!" The woman said hugging her daughter. Faith just nodded and stood up.
"What was that all about?" Sirius asked handing her a cloth to wipe herself off with.
"It's a muggle technique to revive people." Faith answered.
"Well, why didn't the woman do it?" he asked.
"People, when they see a loved one practically dying, they panic and most times forget what they are supposed to do." She answered.
Sirius snapped out of his memory and looked at Faith lying on the table. Dread filled his heart. He couldn't lose her! Not when he had just gotten her back! He loved her.
With out thinking, Sirius entered the room and pushed past the Healers to Faith. He quickly followed the procedure he had seen Faith do 15 years ago. After a few seconds the nurses and Healers fell silent and bowed their heads.
Severus watched horrified in the door frame at what was going on in front of him. Was she really dying? Could it be true? Severus closed his eyes in an attempt to stop himself from seeing his loved one's death.
Suddenly there was a cough. Everyone snapped their heads and eyes open and saw Faith coughing and sputtering on the table.
(A/N: I plan on possibly doing a few other fics with Faith and Sarah in them. Tell me what you think of the idea.)
