Chapter 4- Sirius

His dreams were again filled with veils, but this time when Romulus told him it was too soon to learn how to bring Sirius back he didn't wake up. Instead his dreamed turned into one where he and Romulus were walking through a large field filled with lilies, and then Sirius appeared. Deep blue eyes looked at him and then he snapped awake to find the room empty. Ron and Romulus must have already gone down for breakfast.
"I got it!" He said in a cracked voice having just woke up. He finally understood why every time he saw Romulus he felt a sense of de-ja-vu. "He's just like Sirius…"

Harry was extremely confused. Romulus was Remus's son, so why was he so much like Sirius? The way he acted, the way he looked, it was almost identical to the animagus. Was it possible that he was Sirius's son and not Remus's like he said?
"Harry, finally you're awake! We were about to send someone up to get you!" Hermione said when he wandered into the kitchen. It seemed he'd just made it in time for breakfast, and as he made his way through the mountain of food Mrs. Weasley had placed on his plate he watched Romulus.
The boy was dressed in a simple white-t and jeans again, and he had his long hair pulled back into a ponytail behind his head. He was chatting with Ron about Quidditch, and Fred and George were busy making side comments every chance they could.
After he'd eaten he went back upstairs and collapsed on the now singular bed in Ron's room. He was staring at the ceiling trying to figure everything out, when Ron and Hermione came in. Sitting up he yawned lightly as they sat next to him.
"Really Harry, you slept for hours and you're still tired?" Hermione implied.
"I was up thinking last night, ok?" Harry argued.
Ron nodded. "About Romulus right? Is it just me, or is there something familiar about that guy?"
"Yeah, I noticed that too, what about you Harry?" Hermione asked.
Harry sighed. "Yeah I noticed. He's almost exactly like Si-"
"Hi guys!" Harry looked over to the door to see who had cut him off. Romulus was standing in the door, grinning widely.
"Hello Romulus, do you need something?" Hermione asked politely, and the boy shut the door and behind him and nodded.
As he approached them Harry noticed something he hadn't before. On his wrist was a tattoo of a phoenix in flight, its wings stretched all around to the front and met just before his palm. It had flames behind it, and the colouring was extremely beautiful. Harry had never seen anything like it before, and he wondered how he'd missed it earlier.
"The twins keep wanting me to try this strange candy, so I came up here to hide." Romulus explained and sat next to Hermione. Ron looked just a bit jealous, but didn't say anything.
Harry chuckled. "It won't be long until they find you here though."
The brunette laughed too. "Yes, but then I can just tell them that I'm hanging with you, right?"
"Romulus, can I ask you something?" Hermione said seriously, and the boy nodded so she continued, "Well, I was just wondering where you attend school. I would absolutely love to hear all about it!"
Ron and Harry rolled their eyes. Leave it to Hermione to discuss school during a break. It was quite predictable really.
"Well, I attend Fray's Academy for Wizards; it's an all boys school. From what I've heard it can't compare to Hogwarts in the slightest. Some very good teachers though, and because it's so small you can get a lot more one-on-one help. I like it there anyway." Romulus replied.
Hermione made an 'oh' sound and her face lit up. "I've heard of that place! Is it true that one of the teachers is a vampire?"
Romulus nodded enthusiastically. "Professor Era, he's brilliant. Although I haven't been too fond of him since he tried to drink my blood in my first year. Scared the hell out of me, I was minding my own business in the library and I look up and he's leaning over me, fangs bared!"
The other three laughed and then a peaceful quiet filled the air. It was cut short though by two identical red heads bursting into the room, a brown paper bag in one of their hands.
"Romulus, there you are mate!" "We've been looking all over for you, we have!" They said and Romulus let out a loud sigh. (A/N The twins sound like the Beatles to me. Anyone else think that too?)
"Really guys, I can't try out your candy. Potential hazards aren't part of my diet!"
The twins feigned looking shocked. "Us, give you something dangerous to eat?" "Never!"
"Remember that exploding gumball you gave me over the summer?" Ron said, and Harry laughed. "No really, I couldn't taste anything for a week! It was horrible."
After much more arguing over how dangerous the candy was, the twins finally gave up the brunette and went in search of Ginny instead. The other four started up a conversation about their schools again, and none of them noticed a small black snake watching from inside the closet…

"There's nothing you can do, Harry-,"
"Get him, save him, he's only just gone through!"
"It's too late, Harry-,"
"We can still reach him-,"
Harry struggled hard and viciously, but Lupin would not let go…
"There's nothing you can do, Harry…nothing…He's gone" (1)
Remus's eyes opened and a single tear made its way down his face as he recalled that horrible night. Every time he remembered it he wished he could go back in time, stop Sirius from falling through, thus stopping all the pain it caused. His mind still couldn't cope well with the loss, and now that Romulus was here the memories came too…
Sirius was gone. For the first time that it had happened it finally hit him just what it meant. Sirius Black was gone, and he would never return. Never again could Remus see him smile; hear his bark of a laugh, never again. Never would Sirius be able to meet Romulus…
"Oh gods, why didn't I tell him before?" Remus gasped, breaking into long sobs. He placed his face into his eyes and cried, and at that moment he felt lonelier than he'd ever felt before.
Sirius was gone, and would never come back…

:Cries: Such a sad chapter, the next one will focus more on the past, so don't expect a lot of Harry and stuff. :Sniff: Lots of Sirius though…Review now please, and tell me what you all thought! I'll try to update quickly, but tomorrow is Thanksgiving so maybe Friday? Who ever can guess what that snake was doing there gets a cookie by the way! Yay! And what do you think of Romulus's tattoo? I want one like that….
