Sirius Black was having a dream. A most curious dream. He stood in a room, surrounded by everyone that he had loved in his life. Most were dead now, and yet they seemed alive in this room. He saw Harry and Hermione, the whole Weasley family...and back farther he saw James and Lily, and Remus was there too. He saw that cute girl 3rd year that he'd hit on unmercilessly. And Dumbledore. And was that Tonks? She was sporting blue hair this time. He'd always thought of her as his favorite cousin.
And somewhere in the shadows, someone he did not know. And yet they were so very familiar. This person; he knew their scent, their form, their very essence. Who was it? He moved away from those that filled him with a sense of comfort, towards the unknown. Something told him this person was so very important, they would be his salvation. As he moved closer, the darkness grew tangible, almost real. Cold fingers of shadow surrounded him, trying to pull him back. But the figure drew closer, and suddenly he saw them. Saw her. It was a woman, and she held her arms out to him. She waited for him. He ran...falling into those arms and into his destiny. He fell into those arms over and over, his own personal hell.
Lily lay on the cold floor of the Ministry room. She had fallen through the veil. Hit the other side with a thud.
"Sirius! Wait, let me go back Deacon! I had him. I had him and then something pushed me away! I have to go back!"
The End
((A/N: Ok this was not how I had anticipated the end of this story. Something about it took a morbid turn for me last night and I actually erased the entire chapter I had written. I just felt like it shouldn't have a happy ending. For those of you that are confused, basically the story was a dream. Sirius had glimpsed her in the veil and dreamt of a life he would never have (just an imprint left by Lily). He cannot come back out. Don't hate me! -hides- Anyway, I am working on a new Dramione story, might be awhile before I start putting it up. I actually want to finish it first.))
