Here I am, once again, updating for my dedicated fan base. I know its been a while, but finals and regents threw me way off schedule. Thanx to MarauderinglyMagical, (nice adjectives), Mizz Moony Lover, (thanx for no pokes), sneering tape player,(11 loves this time), and all others. I'll keep updating if you keep reviewing.

The Third Person Sirius Meets in Heaven

Sirius was lost in swirling light. He was spinning like a top through bright nothingness. It was like traveling through floo powder, only Sirius wasn't getting the least bit dizzy.

The sensation stopped abruptly as the light around him burst. Sirius was thrown backward and hit solid ground, after a minute of lying on his back, he opened his eyes.

He was at the foot of a vast lake. It was wide and breathtaking, reflecting the cloudy skies up above. It was surrounded by a wild forest of evergreens and oaks. Ahead of the lake was a large cliff covered in ivy. Beyond the cliff were more trees across the horizon and stopped at a large range of mountains.

What is this place? thought Sirius. It all looked slightly familiar, but there was something missing. Again he took in his build. He looked as tough he had aged a bit from his last venture. He was slightly taller, and had more hair.

He decided to walk around the lake, taking in his surroundings. It looked like he was in the middle of nowhere. It was quiet as a tomb, (no pun intended). The silence was started to make Sirius feel uneasy.

As he walked around he began to wonder who his next person would be. Would he know this person, or would it be a stranger? As he pondered the silence was broken.

There was a soft thumping in the distance. Sirius wheeled around at the dense trees behind them. Straining his eyes to find the source of the noise, he saw two shapes moving through the forest. At a closer glance Sirius recognized them as two, wild centaurs.

Sirius was dumbstruck, is initial suspicions of the eerie environment were filling his head. Could this place really be…?

His suspicions were confirmed when something splashed in the lake before him. Sirius looked to find a tentacle breaching the lake's surface. Sirius stomach clenched. He knew where he was.

He was on the Hogwarts grounds.

Only there was no Hogwarts.

There was no castle on the cliff. No towers or turrets. No greenhouses or Hagrid's hut. No Quidditch pitch or Whomping Willow. There was only wild forest everywhere.

Sirius turned and ran. He sprinted through the dense trees in confusion. Where was the castle? Why was it gone?

After a considerable amount of running he found him self in a clearing. Before him were rusty train tracks, weeds growing everywhere. Beyond the unused tracks was a small inn. It look unclean and shabby with wood scraping off the sides of the building. There was a lone sign above the door with words barely unreadable

The Three Broomsticks.

Sirius walked toward the bar with apprehension. He didn't know what he would find or who he would meet. He stopped in front of the window and peered in.

There were many men and women sitting at tables and bars. Most of them were gruff and mean. Others looked dazed and drunk. Some were very sad. He looked through and saw a single person sitting alone. His heart stopped.

"No," he whispered. "No, no, no," over and over again. He said it until he found the word that had made him flinch for decades and avoided at all costs. He shrieked it through the forest.

"mum! MUM! MUM!"

R&R u know wat to do, I hope.
