Sirius, James and Remus walked down the street wondering where to go first, when they ran into some one, Peter Petagriew.
"Hi Peter" said James
"Hi" said Sirius not even looking at him
"How are you?" asked Remus
"F-fine y-you?" Asked Peter stuttering.
"Fine. Thanks for asking." said Remus, smiling.
"I, have to go talk to Proffesser Dumboldore, met you all at the ice cream shop in a bit, okay?" asked Sirius looking over at dumboldore, who was sitting on a bench looking at the sky.
"Okay then" said James "Come on guys!"
Sirius walked over to Dumboldore.
"Hello Dumobldore" said Sirius
"Eh? Oh, hello Sirius" said Dumboldore only glancing at Sirius then back to the sky
"You seem kind of, I dunno, out of it?" Said Sirius looking up at the sky.
Dumboldore sighed.
"You know when I talk to you in the street after all of the comotion? An i asked you about a girl?" Dumboldore stoped
Sirius felt some thing on his wrist, the ribbion appered.
"Oh, well I have to go, see you later proffesser" said Sirius and waved good-bye,even though it looked more like Sirius was trying to stuff his wrist (The one that had the ribbion.) up Dumboldores' nose.
Sirius Walked off to the book store, when he suddenly heard Artimis' voice in his ear.
"No! don't go to the book store it's full of people! more than I thought there would be! Please go to get a new robe!" She hissed in his ear.
Sirius nodded slightly.
Sirius turned a sharp right and walk straight for about a minute untill he got to the shop. The Sign gleamed in the afternoon sun.
Sirius opened the door and took a peak behind him, and there was Dumboldore, walking very fast.
There was a jingle from the bells tied to the door.
"Hello." Said a round lady from behind the desk. "Do you need any help?"
"Uhhhh.... No, Thanks anyways." Said Sirius looking out the window, Dumboldore was at the door.
Sirius hurried off to a darker corner.
"Good choice, but this is the Little girls section." Wispered Artimis in his ear."This way." She grabed Sirius' hand and draged him to the second leavel with lots of mirriors, and a rack or two of robes.
"Did you see a boy come in here?" panted Dumboldore.
"Yes Albus, he just went up stairs" the plump lady said while she smiled.
Dumboldore hurried up the stairs. Sirius pretended to be looking at robes.
"Why, hello Proffesser!" said Sirius looking over at the very tierd Dumboldore.
"Your...Wrist...The...Ribbion....Where....Did....You....get...it?" said Dumboldore pausing for breaths.
"Ribbion?" asked Sirius.
Dumboldore looked down at Sirius' wrist. The ribbion, was gone.
"Whats been up with you lately? You've been, well, weird." said Sirius, Sirius knew Dumboldore enough not to have to worry about asking these questions, he James, Remus and Peter where always getting in trouble.
Dumboldore looked out the window.
"I mean, you've been acting kind of spaced out." Said Sirius looking at Dumboldore.
"Your wasting time." Wispered Artimis in Sirius' ear.
Dumboldore dug in his pocket and pulled out a battered wizard picture, and handed it to Sirius.
Sirius took the picture and looked at it. It, of course, was Artimis, in the picture she was wearing pants and a t-shirt, and of cousre the ribbion, she was on a swing and Dumboldore was pushing her.
Artimis was smiling. In the picture, Sirius guessed, that Artimis was about 7 years old.
Sirius handed back he picture.
"Eh...Who is she?" asked Sirius even though he already knew the ansewer.
"My granddaughter. She died a year before you came to hogwarts. I saw the ribbion she has in her hair here," Dumboldore pointed at the picture. " On your wrist. Thats why I followed you."
Dumboldore pulled out a little book. It was a photo album. Dumboldore waveed for sirrius to come sit mext to him on the green couch he had sat down on. Dumboldore opened the book, it had about 50 pictures, all of Artimis. They where organized according to age. The first two pages where of when she was 1 or younger, the book went on, and on like this. The last picture was of Artimis, with a phinoix, Fawkes.
"She named him, Fawkes. I still don't know why she did it. I think it was because of a storry i told her when she was little. The story is where she would call ever creature a fox, And she didn't know how to spell at all so she was spell it Fawkes, Thats why i think she named it that." Said Dumboldore, looking back out the window.
Sirius felt a tear drop hit his hand, it wasn't from Dumboldore, it was from Artimis.
"I, uh..., have to try on a robe, i'll be back soon." said Sirius, bumping Artimis so she would follow.
Sirius grabed a random robe from a rack, and marched into the changing room.
"You do know when you cry your tears are visable?" Wispered Sirius.
Artimis appered out of nowhere and stared at him.
"What?" Sirius hissed.
She glared at him.
She grabed is arm and flew out of the ceiling, with Sirius.
"Gah! What the bloodt hell are you doing?" Sirius said at a loud wisper.
Artimis just went on, untill she got to the clock tower, where she entered through a trap door at the top of the tower.
"You don't get it do you?" Said Artimis tears streaming down her face. " How whould you like it if so one you cared about thought it was there fault that someone they cared about was dead? What do you you would do and what if the person that was dead was YOU!"
Sirius just looked at her.
"I know how dumboldore feels." Said Sirius looking down at the floor. " I always thought if I'd been there they'd be alive."
Sirius looked at Artimis, who was staring at him as if he wasn't really there.
Tears where rolling down both of there faces, as they just looked at each other blankly.
It seemed like eternity, before Artimis broke the silence.
"I...I want to show you something" said Artimis slowly.
"What?" said Sirius wiping the tears off his face.
Artimis took her hand and touched his head. Sirius saw hog warts it felt like he was really there.
Sirius was looking through dumboldores eyes' Artimis lay there.
"Albus...She's gone, You can't stay here any longer you must get back to your duitys." It was the school nurse Madam Kuju.
"No. It's my fault. All mine." Said dumboldore slowly.
Sirius suddenly went from seeing it as dumboldore did to how a ghost would in the corner.
Madam Kuju put her hands on dumboldores sholders.
"You must get some sleep, you did a mind wipe on the school to keep it from going bad, please, just go and rest, she'll be buried tommrow." Said madam Kuju.
"You, don't know what it feels like. I'm not tierd either." Said Dumboldore, his voice going from sadness to anger.
"I didn't want to do this..." said madam Kuju. "Shundfer!"
Dumboldore fell out of the chair and on to the floor. He had passed out.
Madam Kuju had him float off to his bed.
About 10 minutes later, Madam Kuju came back and looked at Artimis.
"Oh, Dear little girl, why did you have to die such a horribale death?" Madam Kuju wispered.
Madam Kuju Picked up Artimis and carryed her off to a bed in a dark corner. She drew the curtains around the bed.
TIme seemed to go very fast all of a sudden, It was morning (It took about 2 secounds for it to be morning.) Dumboldore was carrying Artimis away to the hogwarts grounds.
"She always loved to be keeper..." Said Dumboldore quietly.
"Yes, she was preety good for her age." Said Madam Kuju
"Here." Said Dumboldore pointing to a spot near the forest. They walked over to it and set Artimis down by a tree.
They started to dig.
Dumboldore did alittle magic on a tree farther away to make it a casket. It floated over to them. Dumboldore placed Artimis into the casket.
Dumboldore kissed her cheek, and wispered in her ear "I'm sorry." and closed the lid.
They put her in the hole then covered it with dirt and leaves.
Dumboldore used a little spell to carve, Artimis In the side of the tree , tHat she was burried by.
Sirius opened his eyes.
He saw Artimis infront of him, but he wasn't standing anymore they where both sitting infront of each other.
Sirius Had a single tear rolling down his face as he looked at Artimis who was just sitting there.
Then as if they had planed it, they hugged each other Artimis crying.
"You had better go back and check up on grandpa." She wispered in his ear
"Yeah." He said playing with her hair.
"I'll stay here just come back when your done talking." She said
They bothe let go of each other.
Artimis took his hand and went out the wall with him back to the robe shop.
"Hi Peter" said James
"Hi" said Sirius not even looking at him
"How are you?" asked Remus
"F-fine y-you?" Asked Peter stuttering.
"Fine. Thanks for asking." said Remus, smiling.
