"Guys? Really. I mean what's up with you?" Asked Sirius looking at them as
if they had crabs crawling out of they're ears.
"Uhh... where you listening at all? They think your dead!" Whispered Artimis into Sirius' ear.
"But....You...Your dead now aren't you?" Squeaked Peter
"No. I'm not dead..." Said Sirius slowly.
"Well then what's with all the blood?" Pointed out Remus
James stood there in shock.
"A...uhh...a...a...a.a.-" Sirius was interrupted by a whisper in his ear.
"Maybe you should excuse yourself for a minute of thought." Suggested Artimis.
"Uhhhh..... I got to go to the bathroom and get my shirt back on; I'll be back out in a minute." Said Sirius. He hoped Artimis would follow by herself, which she did.
"What am I going to do??" Hissed Sirius to where he thought Artimis was in the room. Artimis turned out to be behind him.
"Relax," She said putting her hands on his shoulders. "You know what," Sirius turned around and took her hands.
"Relax? My friends think I'm dead!"
"Well, now you know what it's like to be Me." said Artimis Smiling.
"Well, I don't like it." Said Sirius looking angry
"Did I have a choice to die or not? Well, I didn't. So be happy you're not really dead." Artimis said floating away. Sirius grabbed her hand. "Look, I can't help that your dead, I can't make you alive again!" Sirius said, sounding mad.
Artimis looked down at him, and to his surprise, she was smiling. "I know that, at least you could make it more bearable." Sirius looked at her, he felt numb. "How can I make it more bearable?" asked Sirius, pulling Artimis down from near the ceiling where she was.
Artimis shook her head. "You don't understand. And the one thing I want is the one thing I can't have." Artimis said, a tear rolling down her cheek.
"And what is that one thing you can't have? Is it life?" asked Sirius Artimis shook her head. There was a knock at the door.
"Sirius, err, Ghost formally known as Sirius? You done yet?" Asked what sounded like Peter.
"One minute!" Yelled Sirius
"Tell them there was a dead animal, I'll see you later, the inn perhaps." Said Artimis floated out the window.
"No! Wait!" yelled Sirius, but he was to late.
~*~ (Don't think I'm not going to keep you in suspense about what she wants the most ^^) ~*~
Sirius put his shirt on and stepped out side the door.
"Eek!" Squeaked Peter, still scared by the fact that he thought Sirius was dead and now a ghost.
"Well, you want to hear the story?" Asked Sirius ~~~~~~~~~~---------~~~~~~~~~---------~~~~~~~~~---------
Artimis floated into Sirius', Remus' and James' Room.
Artimis lay down on Sirius' bed. She was very sleepy from, the restless night. Artimis yawned and flopped on her back on the bed. She saw something out of the corner of her eye, a book in Sirius' trunk; he hadn't had any time to get any books. So Artimis sat up and walked over to the open trunk and took out the book. It was a photo album. She opened it. The first picture was of Sirius and his parents, the only odd thing was his parents seemed faded, almost as if they where disappearing. She touched the picture. They all stood there, Sirius smiling (he wasn't much older than 5 or so.) His parents stood there frowning looking like statues. Artimis didn't know why but she was crying, a tear hit the picture.
"Don't cry." The picture said.
"What? Who?"
"Silly girl, my names Sirius!" said the little Sirius in the picture, smiling. "Whanna be friends? What's your name?"
"I know your name. And you know mine!"
"Well of course, I'm the child side of Sirius which was only able to be this way for 11 years, when mum and dad died."
"Oh."
"Did you know that the only person that can make me talk is the person that has had a worse life than Sirius, yet you try looking on the bright side of things. I like that in a person." Said the little Sirius smiling.
"Only if Sirius would like me and not find me a nuisance." mumbled Artimis
"He likes you. He thinks you're very nice, but you cry too much." Said Chibi Sirius (yes Chibi, I think a chibi Sirius would be cute.)
"I'm really tired, I'm going to take a nap, okay?" asked Artimis
"Fine with me." Said Chibi Sirius, still smiling
Artimis closed the book and went back to the bed. She pulled back the covers, and got in, she curled up and fell asleep. ~~~~~~~~~---------~~~~~~~~~---------~~~~~~~~~--------- "So tell us what's with all the blood?" Asked Remus
"Well, see, I came in here last night and saw a deer, it was bleeding and it was limping around, so I tried helping it but I could it kicked me and I was knocked out, that was up here, so I guessed that it left last night. When I was out, you know, so I just got up cleaned off my bloody shirt and then you guys came, so no, I'm not dead." explained Sirius, the lie ,he hoped, wasn't to bad.
"Well then where were you when we came in??" asked James sounding annoyed, and a little startled
"I was out the window, trying to dry off the shirt. Then you guys came in so I didn't know who it was, so I threw my shirt in and waited and it was you guys! so I came out." "Oh, I see. Well then let's get going. I'll pay for lunch, okay?" Said Remus "I have a headache, I'm going to go take a nap back at the Inn. Okay?" Sirius said slowly. "Uhh. Okay. We'll see you later Sirius!" Said James and Remus, Peter, And himself went down the steps. Sirius watched them through the window, he saw them walk off and around the corner. Sirius walked down the steps. He stepped outside. The sun was shining brightly. He looked up at the tall building in front of him, and walked over to it. He stepped inside the door, and walked up the stairs. Sirius yawned, he hadn't gotten enough sleep last night. "Aye! 'Ello Sirius! Professor Dumbledore told me to give ye' this." Said the man behind the counter. He handed Sirius a letter. Sirius stuffed it in his pocket. "Thanks." Said Sirius and went up to his room. Sirius opened the door and stepped inside, He saw the lump (also know as Artimis) under the covers of his bed. Sirius sat down on Remus' bed and sat there thinking. Artimis rolled over and saw Sirius'. To her he looked upset, almost in tears. Sirius pulled the letter out of his pocket and read it out loud:
Sirius, please come to the leaky caldron tomorrow at noon. Thank you,
Head master of Hogwarts Professor Dumbledore
"Well you'll be able to talk to him again." Said Artimis quietly
Sirius looked up. "Yeah, I guess. What is the thing you want the most in the world, that you cannot have?" Sirius asked
Artimis got up and floated over to the window.
"You." She said quietly and floated off.
"Uhh... where you listening at all? They think your dead!" Whispered Artimis into Sirius' ear.
"But....You...Your dead now aren't you?" Squeaked Peter
