The Journey

Sirius was altogether surprised. He had no idea what just happened. The last thing he remembered was Bellatrix sending a Stunning Spell at him. But that didn't explain where he was.

He was total and complete darkness. Everything around him was pitch black. The only thing he could see was the aged archway in front of him with the fluttering veil.

Beyond the veil he heard a voice. The voice was screaming. "Sirius!" it called, "SIRIUS!"

Harry. Sirius tried to go through the veil to his godson, but he couldn't pull through. The veil merely fluttered as Sirius pressed to go through it. Beyond Harry's calls, he heard Lupin. He was saying, "He can't come back Harry. He can't come back because he's d…"

"HE IS NOT DEAD!" bellowed Harry. "SIRIUS!"

A wave of shock hit Sirius. How could this be? He thought. I wasn't killed. Bellatrix sent a Stunner at me. They don't kill do they?

Then something else hit Sirius. I passed through the veil. I passed through the veil hanging from the archway. I passed through it and now I'm...

Just as the thought went through his brain, he was hurtled backwards. He was thrown away from the darkness, away from the veil, and away from the cries of his godson. He was now flying threw swirling colors.

First, he was flying threw scarlet, and then it swirled into bright orange. After that, it changed into sunflower-yellow, and then emerald. It slowly swirled into navy blue.

As Sirius flew threw plum-purple. A thought blended in his mind.

Choose.

The plum purple swirled into charcoal gray.

Stay?

In the charcoal Sirius saw Harry. He was transparent though and looked like he was fading away.

Or Go?

Before him, Sirius saw thousands of stars flying by. It was though Sirius was soaring through outer space.

Choose.

And then Sirius remembered. Wizards had a choice when dead. They could either stay as ghosts or go beyond. Sirius was now troubled.

He wanted to see Harry, but at what cost. He would only be stuck on earth as an imprint. Being a transparent, floating spirit would be no help to Harry. Finally he thought really hard and made his decision.

Go.

There was a flash and Sirius blasted forward, thinking nothing but his conclusion

Go.

Go.

Go….
