"Honey, you really shouldn't have been experimenting in the first place," a woman was telling her husband as they walked down a hall of St. Mungos, "Do you really believe everything Tobias tells you?"

The man was looking dazed as he rubbed his earlobes. "Well I didn't expect to have six foot long brussel sprouts grow out of my ears," he mumbled.

The woman rolled her eyes and tapped his earlobe with her wand, saying an incantation the healer told her to perform on her husband every two hours. "Next time I see that brother of mine, I'm going to wallop-"

Taking his hands off his ears momentarily, the man stopped and stared at a guy sitting in one of the lobby chairs. His head was buried in his hands and his black hair was uncombed and his clothes disheveled. "Look at him," the man whispered. The woman stopped in the middle of her rant and looked at the broken man sitting there.

"Someone he loves must be in a dire state," she said sympathetically. They looked at this man for a moment, their hearts getting heavy, before the woman snapped out of her reverie and pushed her husband along. "Stop staring, we have to get home."

Sirius Black looked up as the couple was leaving St. Mungos and smiled a bitter smile as he thought of Marissa. He remembered a time at Hogwarts she escorted him to the hospital wing. A "duel" he had with Remus got out of hand and an unidentified curse made one of Sirius' right leg disappear. Marissa scolded him the whole way down to the wing, even when his left leg got stuck in the staircase. She heaved it out, saying, "What would you do without me? I have to teach you to not duel your friends, I have to take you Madame Pomfrey, get your feet out of staircases…"

Once again, Sirius buried his face in his hands as memories swept over him like an icy shower. She can't be dead. She just can't! He has seen Marissa everyday since first year. She can't just disappear from his life without warning.

And Sirius couldn't help but blame himself. How could he not? They got into a fight and Sirius did nothing to stop it, he let her walk out. Hell, he should've chased after Marissa the second the door swung back into its frame, not wait hours afterward to begin to look. She even told him not to blame himself for her death, but Sirius wallowed in guilt anyways.

The longer he sat there in silence, the more he realized that he wanted the opportunity to have lots of black haired, violet eyed babies running around. "You'll be fine…and we will have kids. We'll have two boys and one girl and they'll be best friends with Harry and all the other kids Lily and James will have…"

"Mr. Black?" asked a Healer that had just stepped into the lobby. Almost painfully, Sirius raised his head just enough so his sorrowful gray eyes peaked above his hands.

"How did she die?" Sirius croaked, his voice muffled. That had been the first thing he had said since that night at James' house, a week ago.

The Healer sighed and sat down in the lobby chair beside him. "That's the thing, we aren't too sure."

Sirius' hands fell from his face onto his lap as he stared at the Healer. "What do you mean?" he asked, his voice barely above a whisper.

Rubbing his forehead, wrinkles showing his age, the Healer looked into Sirius' hurting eyes and knew this was going to be hard. "She was bleeding severely from the stomach as you told us and her shirt was full of stains. But there was no injury on her stomach, not even a scratch. We checked over every inch of her body and there were no injuries. We tested to see if she had been raped," Sirius cringed, "but the results came back negative. As far as we can see no curses, hexes or spells hit her or caused any damage to her muscle, nerve or blood system. All in all, you're wife was in perfect health when she passed."

A blank stare took hold of Sirius' features as the Healer looked steadily into his eyes. "But…how?" Sirius asked trying to comprehend all the Healer had told him, "She couldn't have randomly started bleeding. Marissa coughed up blood and couldn't breathe. She was shaking so much, you can't tell me that she was perfectly healthy when she died."

"It's one of the most mysterious cases we've had in the history of St. Mungos. But we tried every trick in the book and nothing seems to bring up concrete evidence of what caused her death," the Healer said.

Sirius slammed his hands on the side of the chair in irritation and stood up and began an angry pace. "We're wizards, we can do pretty much anything. Even muggles can figure out how people die yet qualified Healers who have the ability of magic cannot figure out how MY WIFE died when she had obvious wounds!" Sirius ranted, his pace growing quicker, "She was bleeding from the stomach and was coughing up blood. It was hard for her to breathe and she was having convulsions. Yet you come to me and tell me there were no injuries, no spells, and no way she could've died.

"But she is, my whole world is gone, dead. Seemingly she should still be alive. She should be walking, talking, breathing and loving me," Sirius got in the Healers face and pointed his finger to his chest, "Do not tell me that she was perfectly healthy when she is not still with me."

There was a moment of silence while Sirius fiercely glared at the man before him. The Healer cleared his throat and pulled out a plastic bag out of his pocket. "These were all the personal items that your wife had on her," he wheezed. Sirius backed away from the Healer and snatched the bag out of his hands.

Inside the bag were a couple of sickles; the wand earrings Lily had given her one Christmas, her engagement and wedding rings, her wand and the locket. Sirius pulled the locket out of the bag by the chain, his eyes focusing on the bloodstain that took up most of the front. With shaking hands, he undid the clasp and felt a burning sensation on his calling ring. The image of him standing in St. Mungos came before his eyes and he bit back a gasp. He looked so tired and so heartbroken. Marissa would be ashamed to see me this way…

Inside the locket was something he never noticed before; a picture of himself and Marissa on their wedding day. Behind the picture a small piece of paper was sticking out. Hands still shaking, he gently pulled out the paper and unfolded it. It read:

"All I ever want to say to you is how much I love you. I can't even put into words what I feel for you. You have brought out everything good in me, got rid of all my fears, and taught me just what true happiness was like. I love you, always and forever,"
"This proves how much we are made for each other. You are so amazing, and the best thing that's ever happened to me. I love everything about you, even your strange obsession with penguins. I love you, so much."

Sirius choked back tears as he tossed the locket and their wedding vows back into the bag. "We can continue tests and observations on Mrs. Black if you wish to find out how she passed…" the Healer put in, trying to be helpful.

Holding a hand up to stop him from saying more, Sirius muttered, "No that won't be necessary. Thank you for trying to help me." Then he slumped out of St. Mungos, trying to hold back the tears burning his eyes.

¤.¸¸.·´¨»«´¨·. ¸¸.¤

Lily's knuckles were stark white from holding onto James' hand so tightly. Tears were flowing out of her eyes as she stared at the sleek black coffin swinging over an empty grave, soon to be filled with Marissa's form.

Before she knew she was a witch, Lily had no friends in grammar school. They made of her for being an outcast and for her stuttering problem. She devoted all her time to schoolwork to get rid of the sting of loneliness. Then she found out she was magic and got on that train to Hogwarts. She met four of the most amazing people, the Marauders, and she met Marissa.

Marissa was beautiful, exotic, hardworking with a playful side and sarcastic. She was polite with people she didn't know very well and joked around twenty four-seven with her friends. She was one of those people who you modeled yourself after because she was just that cool.

There was so much that Marissa could've given to this world, if she had the opportunity to do so. She was only twenty when she died and in Lily's eyes, that was far too young. But other friends of mine have died younger, Lily thought to herself as she thought back on all friends who she would never see again.

Lily had been to too many funerals by the age of twenty. She had seen so much death and so much destruction and evil. She was too young to have gone through all she has. I have to think of the positives! Lily's mind screamed. For her young age, she had seen so much good. She has lived life, loved life, experienced life, and created life. If she were to die tomorrow, she would have zero regrets.

But now in her confusion, all she could think about was Marissa. Lily sneaked a glance at Sirius; he was standing next to Remus. His form was hunched and his eyes wet as he focused his eyes on the coffin. Remus had a hand clapped on his shoulder, watching the priest's lips but not truly digesting the words he said. She looked up at James, his face ashen as he too saw one of his best friends being lowered into a dark place.

Marissa had been to bright and lively to belong in somewhere so small and dark, thought James. She made Sirius happy and fixed all his problems. In return, he loved her and treated her like the Queen of England. James looked over at his two best friends, standing next to each other for support. They had both lost the love of their life, so suddenly without warning. James could only begin to comprehend the pain they were experiencing. He noticed Peter had not shown up as he promised he would.

James' grip unknowingly tightened on Lily's hand. With a small, sad hiccup through her tears, she moved her and James' interlocked hands behind his back and settled their grip on his hip. Gently, James bent down and kissed her forehead, praying to God he would never loose Lily. He couldn't handle it if she was gone.

After Sirius, Remus, James, Lily and Marissa's parents had all thrown a handful of dirt into Marissa's grave, Sirius turned to Remus and asked him in a dull voice, "I've been thinking and it seems pretty pointless to continue living in the flat by myself and paying a lot more rent. So I was wondering if I could move in with you?"

Remus gave a half-hearted grin and nodded. "Sure mate that would be great actually. Rent has been hard to keep up with."

Sirius nodded stiffly and turned to leave, purposely avoiding Marissa's grave. He couldn't think about this right now. Just as he was about to walk to Marissa's parents, he saw Lily, clutching James hand and looking up at the sky, tears pouring out of her eyes. Lily was the one closest to Marissa, besides himself. "Lils…" he began, but couldn't find the words.

With a sniff, Lily let go of James' hand and wrapped her arms around Sirius' neck, squeezing with all her might. Uncomfortably at first, Sirius put his arms around her back, then he let out a strangled cry and tightened his grip around Lily, crying heartbreaking sobs into her shoulder. They held onto each other's grief and sank to the ground; the two people Marissa impacted the most.

October…

"Harry look at mummy! Look over here!" Lily cooed, trying desperately to get Harry's attention. His eyes scanned the ceiling as he wiggled uncomfortably in his Halloween costume. He was dressed in Gryffindor Quidditch robes and next to him in his bassinet was a little broomstick that could hover and a baby snitch that fluttered around in a two-foot diameter.

Lily sighed and snapped a picture although he wasn't looking at the camera. "Why isn't he looking at me?" she whined and placed her hands on her hips.

James just laughed and gave his wife a kiss on the tip of her nose. "He is born to be a Quidditch player!" James exclaimed as he bent his head close to Harry's and held his little baby hand. Lily snapped a picture and James glared at her.

"How could he not be a Quidditch player when his father was a star?" Remus muttered, concentrating on the chessboard in front of him. Sirius was across from him and drumming his fingers in boredom on the board.

"Hey Remus, if you could take just a little longer to decide on a move, that would be great," Sirius said, his words dripping with sarcasm.

"Not a problem. This is usually how I beat you anyways. You rush your moves while I," Remus muttered to his knight and it pranced forward, smashing Sirius' queen, "take my time and beat you to a pulp."

Sirius stared at the chessboard, dumbfounded, then glared at Remus, grumbling, "Damn you, Moony." Remus just leaned back in his chair and grinned. Lily crept over to her two best friends and snapped a picture.

"I am going to destroy you and your camera," Sirius said darkly, making a grab for Lily's camera.

Lily began to pull out her wand but James beat her to it. "Accio Camera!" James said and triumphantly caught the camera and snapped a quick picture of Harry, who had been watching him amusingly. "There, Lils, he was looking at me that time."

Harry gurgled as he looked up at his father, then he let out a small squeal and smiled. James froze, his mouth hanging open. "What is it?" Lily asked seeing James' stunned expression.

Taking a large gulp, James whispered, "He smiled at me!" Lily, Remus and Sirius all rushed over to the bassinet and stood over Harry. The room was silent as Harry just stared at the people around him, then he let out a large grin and a baby laugh.

"AWWWWWWWWWW!" the whole room said and Harry let out another giggle. Lily yanked the camera away from James and began snapping pictures faster than the speed of light.

"Uh, Lils, aren't you overdoing it a little?" James asked.

Lily shook her head and defiantly snapped three more pictures. "Not at all. I want to capture his first smile-"

"You've done it about one hundred and seventy five point three times now," Sirius said, taking the camera out of her hands. Huffing, Lily glared at him but Sirius ignored her and leaned down to Harry, grinning and saying, "Happy Conception Day, little man!"

Standing up, Sirius turned to Lily and James, who were both looking at him, dumbfounded. "H-how did you know?" James asked.

"Guys, come on, we all finished near the top of the class at Hogwarts, we were bound to figure it out sometime," Remus said simply. There was silence for a long time as Lily and James turned many shades of red. "It's starting to get dark, you might want to take him trick or treating so he can get to bed on time," Remus cut in, trying to change the subject.

James took this as a cue and properly rushed Lily and Harry out of the house to attempt and save face in front of his friends.

"Fancy another game of chess?" Remus asked when Lily, James and Harry had left.

Standing to full height, Sirius said overconfidently, "Only if you realize that I will dominate and crush you."

After three games of chess, Remus remaining undefeated, Sirius stalked to the kitchen to find something to eat. "How come you win everything?" Sirius yelled from the kitchen.

Remus rolled his eyes and walked to the kitchen to find a pretty grotesque scene in front of him. Sirius' backside was pointed high in the air while he was rummaging around in the refrigerator. Looking away, Remus said, "Because I'm better than you. Can you please change positions I don't want to see that."

Sirius climbed out of the refrigerator with left over chicken in his hands and two butterbeers. "No one is better than me," Sirius said egotistically as he tapped the chicken with his wand. It became warm again and the two men peeled pieces off and popped them into their mouths.

"If you're so much better than me, how come you've never won a single game we've played against each other?" Remus asked with a Marauder grin that you usually only saw on either James or Sirius' faces.

"Oh ha ha ha, I'm laughing so hard," Sirius spat through a mouthful of chicken.

It was quiet at the counter for a while, the only sound being chicken tearing and swigs of butterbeer. Then, casually, Remus said, "You know, it's okay to grieve a little bit. It's better than acting fake and happy."

Stopping in mid-chew, Sirius looked at his best friend. "What makes you say that?" he asked, pretending this conversation was not happening.

Remus put down his chicken and wiped his hands on a napkin, then looked Sirius straight in the eye. "I know exactly how you feel. You need to accept the fact that Marissa did die," Sirius' complexion changed to ghostly white as Remus continued on, "It's hard and you don't believe it. You don't want to realize the one person you loved more than life is never coming back. But don't act like everything's okay because its not."

Sirius eyes closed tightly and his lips struggled to force out words. Remus waited silently, knowing how hard it was to accept she wasn't going to be there. Finally, Sirius muttered, "It's just…I miss her so much Moony. I keep trying to believe she's going to come walking in and run up to me and kiss me. I'm trying to force myself to believe she's going to come home and have dinner with me and then we'll sit on the sofa and talk for hours…"

A tear slipped out of the corner of his eye and he wiped it away in frustration. "You know how much I miss Kiah? Every night I just think about her and the baby she was carrying. I think about how happy we could be right now," Remus' voice cracked but he took a swig of butterbeer and kept going, almost painfully, "Every day is going to get harder and the nights are the worst. But soon you'll realize that she would've wanted you to get on with your life and to stop being so distraught. Because this is no way to live your life."

"I know it isn't, I need to forget," Sirius rasped, "But what's keeping me this way is guilt. It was my fault she died. If we hadn't had that stupid fight then she would've never stormed out and she would've never been killed-"

"You know how many times I thought that about Kiah?" Remus asked.

Shaking his head, Sirius said, "No, that wasn't your fault. You couldn't help that her work was attacked and that she lost against a Death Eater."

"But I just stood there and watched. I didn't even attempt to fire something at the Death Eater or run up and try to stop it from happening," Remus said.

"That's not right! None of that was your fault. Those factors were out of your control-" Sirius protested but once again Remus interrupted.

"I know that now. Do you see how I can turn anything around to make it seem like my fault?" Remus said logically.

Sirius just stared at him for a moment then his eyes narrowed. "Damn you and your reverse psychology."

November…

"James, watch this, I taught him a new trick!" Sirius exclaimed. James looked up from his work and watched as Sirius placed his hands underneath Harry's arms and stood Harry up. At first Harry kicked his feet away from the ground but with a little coaxing his feet held his baby weight. He stood there for a few seconds, looking at his little stocking covered feet before his knees bent and he collapsed under his weight. Harry cooed and shook his rattle, smiling at the noise it made.

With a small chuckle, James got up from his chair and sat on the floor in front of Sirius. He kissed Harry's forehead and Harry flashed him a baby grin. "That was adorable, but he did that a week ago."

Sirius' smile quickly dissolved from his face and with a humph he said, "Well I'm sure I taught him that anyways."

Lily looked up from her book and laughed. Remus, who was sprawled on the sofa and had been busily highlighting a coded message that the Order intercepted, threw a pen at Sirius' head. Remus and Sirius had taken to spending most of their time away from work at Godrics Hollow. "Only you, Padfoot, could be that-" Remus paused as he watched James poke his fingers in baby Harry's open mouth, "James, what are you doing?"

Everyone's attention turned to James and Harry, who was trying to squirm away from his dad's hand. "I think he has a tooth coming in," James said after a while.

"Where?" Lily asked as she threw down her book and scooted to the floor, also putting her finger in Harry's mouth. Harry did not enjoy this and signs of screaming showed as he face started to turn red and his eyes closed shut.

"There, on the left side, do you feel it?" James asked, pushing her finger to the correct spot.

"Yeah, there! His first tooth!" Lily said and began feeling through the rest of his mouth. This was the final straw for Harry who began wailing immediately and tried to turn his head away from his mum. "Oh, mummy's sorry Harry," she muttered as her fingers left his mouth and she picked him up, hugging his form to hers. Harry quieted down a little but still continued making tempertantrum sounds.

James stood up and walked over to Lily, placing a hand on the crown of Harry's head. "You're growing up fast, little man. You'll be going to Hogwarts before we know it," he said, wrapping his other arm around Lily.

"He's not growing up that fast!" Lily said indignantly. James just laughed and rested his forehead on hers. Lily's heart fluttered a little, it was amazing how he could make her feel like she was sixteen still.

"This is completely off subject, but I really want to listen to some music," Remus said out of the blue. He took out his wand and pointed it at the record player. A catchy tune filled up the living room and James grinned a goofy grin and started moving his hips in time to the music. Lily laughed and shook her head good-naturally.

Spinning in a circle, James took Harry from Lily's arms and grabbed his baby hand in his larger one. "Ooooooh! Sugar Pie, Honey Bunch, you know that I love you! I can't help myself, I love you and nobody else." James began a light little hop around the room and Harry smiled and squealed and his father spun him in small hops around the room.

Sirius laughed and went over to Lily, bowing deeply and saying in a French accent, "May I have this dance?"

Lily pretended to think about it for a moment, then shrugged and grabbed his hand. They began spinning around the room with James and Harry. Remus just laughed at his friends and Summoned Lily's camera and began to take pictures.

James and Sirius joined in a horrible duet, singing loudly, "In and out my life, you come and you go! Leaving just your picture behind, I must've kissed a thousand times." Lily and James spun by each other, slowing down just enough to share a kiss then continue spinning.

"When you snap your finger or wink your eye, I come running to you!" This time Lily joined in with the singing. Remus snapped a picture of James grinning widely at Harry as he smiled back.

The next time the couples crossed paths, Sirius and James switched dance partners. Sirius grabbed Harry spun him around in a tiny circle and Harry giggled and grabbed his sleeve to balance. Lily was swept up into James' arms and he gave her a quick kiss before he pulled her closer and continued singing.

"When I call you're name, girl it starts a flame. Burning in my heart, tearing it all apart. No matter how I try my love I cannot deny!"

James spun Lily out and brought her back in and began swing dancing with her. Remus snapped a couple pictures of them then turned to Sirius, who had Harry on his hip and was rocking his hips back and forth while bouncing and singing to Harry. Remus clicked another picture and Sirius traded the camera for Harry.

Remus began spinning around the living room now as Sirius went camera happy, still singing along to the Temptations. The song ended and all four friends, plus Harry, collapsed onto the sofa laughing. "We have to be the biggest losers ever," Lily said, taking Harry from Remus.

"But we are the best at it," Sirius said, stretching out and squishing the others.

¤.¸¸.·´¨»«´¨·. ¸¸.¤

"Sirius…" a voice called. Sirius scrunched his eyes up and rolled over in his bed. "Sirius…" the voice said again.

"Wha…" Sirius muttered, still asleep.

"It's me."

Sitting straight up in bed, Sirius looked around his room. It was empty. "Marissa?" he asked timidly, afraid to believe.

"Yes, baby. It's me," her voice sounded so far away.

Sirius choked out a sob. "Marissa, I don't understand…I miss you so much. I need you to come back to me, please, it's been so hard-" Sirius pleaded with her voice.

"Listen to me, I don't have much time," Marissa said urgently, "I love you so, so much Sirius and I wish with all my might I was there with you, but I did die. You need to move on. What Remus said was true, you need to keep going."

"You can hear that?" Sirius asked.

"Of course, I watch over you all the time baby. But you have to understand, stop feeling guilty. You didn't kill me, you saved me."

Nodding desperately, Sirius said, "I'll try, but it's so hard. I love you more than anything and I can't accept the fact you're gone."

"You have to, I wish I was there, but you are still there. Keep living," the voice said and Sirius felt a hand, Marissa's hand, on his cheek. Sirius closed his eyes and lingered in her presence.

"Are…are you okay…wherever you are?" Sirius asked, trying to touch her hand but he only felt his cheek.

"I'm fine, I'm with Kiah now. Tell Remus that Kiah loves him and that she is so proud of him."

Sirius nodded and begged, "Is there anyway I can see you? I just want to look at you one more time."

A sigh echoed the room. "I'm not supposed to, I'm not even supposed to be with you. There are so many rules but you needed guidance."

"Please Rissa…" Sirius asked, opening his eyes as wide as he could, trying to see better in the darkness. There was quiet for a moment and Sirius wondered if she had left. But then he saw a figure in the corner of the bedroom. "Rissa?" he asked and the figure walked, actually somewhat glided, to the bed.

There she was, right there in front of him. She looked translucent, like the ghosts at Hogwarts. But she was there. Her brown curly hair rested on her shoulders. Her violet eyes sparkled with love and happiness. She was smiling at him. Sirius reached out to hold her, touch her, know that this was real, but Marissa backed away.

"You can't touch me, you're hand would go through," She warned. Sirius nodded and he grinned at her.

"You are so, so beautiful. I love you, remember that," he muttered. Marissa smiled at him and then a moment later, she disappeared. Sirius blinked a few times then looked around the room. "Marissa?" But she was gone.

¤.¸¸.·´¨»«´¨·. ¸¸.¤

"I'm telling you, she was there! She was in my room and she was talking to me!" Sirius pleaded to Lily, James and Remus. They were all seated around the kitchen table listening to Sirius' wild tale.

"It was a dream, Sirius," James said doubtfully.

Shaking his head, Sirius argued, "She was there! At first it was only her voice. Then I asked if I could see her and she said she wasn't allowed but she did it anyways. She looked like a ghost but she was there! Right in front of me!"

"As much as I want to believe you Sirius, and I really do, it's just that's never happened before to anyone. It couldn't have happened to you," Lily said sympathetically.

"MARISSA WAS THERE!" he screamed out in frustration. Lily and James both shushed him, they had finally got Harry to go to sleep and he was such a light sleeper. "She told me not to feel guilty because she died. She even told me Kiah was where she was!" Remus' shoulders slumped. Sirius went over to Remus and kneeled down next to him. "She told me Kiah was there, they are both fine. I'm supposed to tell you that Kiah loves you and is proud of you." Remus turned his head away from Sirius. "You believe me, don't you Remus? You understand-"

Without warning, Remus stood up and slammed his chair back. "I don't believe you. Kiah is dead! Marissa is dead! There is no way they can come back. It's great your finding closure but its not real, it was just a dream." And with that said, Remus Apparated back to the apartment and locked himself in his bedroom.

"Why the hell did you carry on like that in front of him, Sirius?" James asked him angrily, "You of all people should know how much that hurts him."

Sirius glared at his best friend. "You may not believe me but I know what happened. Marissa was there and everything's okay. I was trying to help Remus, because Marissa helped me overcome everything last night. And you of all people should know how much this means to me," Sirius finished, pointing a finger into James' chest. Then he stormed out of the house and slammed the door behind him. Harry erupted in screams and both Lily and James sighed, not knowing what to do about their best friends.

Author Notes: I know the beginning was a crappy way to open it and thedream thing was extremely extremely cheesy but I do like the ending. I really wish I had more time to re-vamp this whole story but I've barely even begun the alternate ending and haven't even had a chance to start to pull together my love hate story and I don't know what's on my main list of priorities anymore.

XXXX: I'm sorry for killing her...at least you're not as upset as some other people are lol. The story does end with Lily and James dying, there are five chapters left plus an epilogue. Nearing the end!

JheartsL: Aww, you've been reading for so long! Thanks for taking time to review! So your favorite choice would be her leaving Sirius? Whenever I get more time I would love to experiment with a few different Marissa options, thank you for your input on which you would prefer. And thanks for still reading:-)
