Thoughts of 4th Year
4th Year I thought sadly, 4th year was the year my parents had died. They were vacationing In Mexico when a violent earthquake had hit. They were apparently in there car, when it hit and had crashed into another car. Both cars were up in flames before anyone had time to get out alive.
That had been a hard year; Sirius had temporarily came out of his little arrogant stage because he knew I needed him. When I found out Sirius had been there to comfort me throughout the whole ordeal. He had hugged me in till I would fall asleep crying in his arms.
-Flashback-
"What's that?" Becca questioned looking down at the brown envelope with all the stamps on it.
"Oh, It's a letter from my aunt" I answered "Don't know what it's about though"
I looked down at the strange envelope. My Aunt Jane had never sent any letters before.
"Maybe you should open it" Lily suggested
"Thank-You captain obvious!" Becca said sarcastically
"No, she's right" I said tearing open the envelope and pulled out a letter. My eyes took a quick scan over it. I fainted.
The letter had said:
Dearest Rylie,
Oh Ryile, poor Ryile. Your parents have passed away while they were vacationing in Mexico. I am sooo sorry! If you need anyone to talk to I'm here. They have assigned me as your legal guardian for the time being. I will pick you up from the train station for there funeral tomorrow. I have already cleared it with your headmaster.
Love
Aunty Jane
"Rylie!" Becca was yelling in my ear
I felt all groggy and tired, wait where was I?
"Rylie!" Someone else yelled no wait that was Sirius.
I slowly opened my eyes
"Oh thank fucking god!" Sirius said pulling me into a hug "I thought you were dead."
I looked around; I was in the Command Room. Lily, Becca, Remus and James were all looking at me worried. Peter was there although he was more or less paying attention to the bugger stuffed up his nose instead. Then the letter came floated into my head again "Oh god" I thought and felt my body go limp in Sirius's arms.
The next day I woke up in my bed with something cuddly beside me. I looked down and found a plush-toy dog. It was adorable!
I hugged it close to me and cried for awhile but knew I should get up. The crew would be deathly worried after those little fainting spell in the commond room. I got up and had a shower. Pulling my kimono on, I when to find something to wear for the funeral.
My parent's were truly wonderful people. There weren't to rich nor to poor. They always loved me and would do anything to make me happy. Although they didn't buy me every toy in the toy-store or go let me go wild crazy in the candy store. They still would do anything. More tears passed down my check.
I opened my dresser and searched for something suitable to wear. I ended up picking a long black dress that my mother had bought me. It was laced up in the front and my mother hadsaid it looked great on me.
I walked down to find Sirius. 'Maybe He would come with me' I thought and my day seemed to get a bit brighter.
He was sitting on the couch.
He looked up as I cleared my throat.
"Sorry for falling on you" I said
He nodded understandingly patting the stop on the couch beside him and for once he didn't have that little funny glint in his eyes he looked… we he looked Serious. (No pun intended)
I sat down and told him about the letter pausing for a minute when I cried.
"Why don't you ask Lily or Becca to go with you to the funeral?" He asked afterwards
"Well I could but…"
"What?" He questioned
"I sort of… well I was wondering if… maybe… Oh screw this! Will you come?" I finally got out
"Oh, Of course I will."
"Thank You!" I said hugging him. "By the way" I asked "You wouldn't happen to know who put a cute stuffed dog in my bed last night would you?"
He went red. It was the first time I had seen him blush this year.
"Ummm… well that was sort of me" Sirius answered so obviously embarrassed
I gave him a half hearted smile and told him to go get a suit on.
The funeral was Horrible I remember it like yesterday. Almost everyone was giving me sympathetic looks that made me want to scream and punch someone. I don't think the people really realized that when a love one dies you just want to be alone, not have people surrounding you. Telling you there sorry for your loss when the really don't even care all that much. Not many of my parent's friends really liked me. They all thought I was a goody good or a loner. The ceremony made me cry. Luckily Sirius had some tissues in his pocket although I guessed his wand was involved with getting them there.
"Hey Ri, who the hell are all these people?" Sirius asked out of the corner of his mouth
"My parents had a lot of friends" I whispered back
"Oh Rylie dear! Are you quite alright?" My Aunt Jane said. (She's a bit over-dramatic; See she's an actor trying to make it big in the USA. She lives in California right now, I think.)
"I'm alright"
My Aunt looked down at me disapprovingly with those big blue eyes; she was supermodel-skinny and it sort of made me sick to look at how she ate. She was a grown woman, I was a teenager and I ate more than her!
"Hunny how can you be okay? Your parents are dead."
Sirius tightened his grip on my waist.
"And who are you?" She looked at Sirius just now noticing him
"Sirius Black" He shock my aunt's hand
"Hmm nice name, has a boldness to it" She pondered out loud
"Thanks" He muttered
I knew for a fact that Sirius didn't like his family. He told me in 2nd year. His Mom was always pressuring him to hate muggle-borns and all.
"Well I got to go, I have an audition for a movie" She squealed. I flinched. Got I hate when she did that.
"See you kids"
She walked away
"Well…" Sirius trailed off
"Shhh" I said pressing a finger to my lips and specking in barely in a whisper "I need a few moments of silents after that ear wrenching squeal"
He snorted. I almost grinned for the first time that day.
-End of Flashback-
So we went through the rest of the funeral not really talking much except to say hello to a few of my relatives. It was a sad day; I don't know what I would of done if Sirius was not there though. It would have been rough. That year it got me and Sirius closer. It also brought us closer to something we didn't even know about back then…
