Epilogue
Time passed away from Mimi's death and slowly the group of broken friends began to mend. It took Lily ages to get over the fact that Mimi died on her birthday, and she never wanted a birthday surprise again. Sarah and Arabella blamed themselves for not getting up to go to the bathroom with her. James had the hardest time realizing that this could have happened even if he didn't plan the dinner, Remus still wished he had payed attention to all the extra sounds he heard, and Peter beat himself up over the fact the he told Sirius he heard nothing. The whole group had a hard time accepting the fact that Mimi's death was fate, but eventually they did. Eventually, everyone but Sirius did. Sirius never got over the fact that he wasn't there for Mimi.

6th year had come and gone and soon the slow healing group boarded the Hogwarts Express for the last time. Sirius paused as he stepped on the train, remembering Mimi had been right there beside him that day last year, but soon the Marauders were right there beside him, helping him make the extra step. They all imagined Mimi's disgusted look when James announced he'd gotten Head Boy, her tongue-sticking-out and her Boo's! They all imagined her happy smiles as Lily and James canoodled down to the Prefect's carriage with Remus trailing behind. They could picture her hearty and high pitched laugh as they played pranks on some third years. They could practically hear her teeth-clacking as the excitement of the train ride died down and all there was left was boredom. And when Peter suggested a game they all pictured Mimi cry out, "How about I Spy?" And they pictured her happiness as they all began playing it.
"Welcome and welcome back to Hogwarts!" Dumbledore announced on their first night back. "I am sure you are all looking forward to the very exciting meal… and very excited year planned, but before we stride headlong into that I would like to take a moment to remember. To remember a girl who would probably be rolling her eyes right now at this food hold-up, but still a girl who cared and loved and laughed, a girl who brightened the world even when it seemed to just be getting darker. I would like you all to remember Miranda McMahon!" The Great Hall broke out in applause (with the exception of the Slytherin table) and Sirius wolf-whistled, James hollered, Remus raised his hands in the air, and Peter clapped his hands raw. It was the happiest start to the saddest school year.

Remus and Sarah eventually broke it off, Remus never did tell her he was a werewolf and he began to get to afraid for her. He had already failed to protect one girl in his life he couldn't bear to do it to another. Lily and James kept going strong (as we all know), but Sirius went back to his old serial dating ways. He never found a girl to love again, maybe it was because he knew what he was missing or maybe it was because he didn't want to find a girl to love. However, his best friends love brought him the closest to happiness he would ever be.
"I would just like to say a few words about are dear Lily and Prongs Potter," Sirius said aloud on Lily and James wedding day.
"We all thought this day would never come, no offense Prongs, but alas here it is! It was probably thanks to my quick-thinking and charm that these two happy newlyweds came to be… or it was thanks to the most beautiful, kind, and caring girl this world has ever seen: Mimi McMahon. Meems used to yell and scream at Lily for rejecting Prongs and then she'd turn around and let loose on James for being such an ass around Lily, but eventually she brought them to their senses. So, I'd like to dedicate this toast to Meems, and I want you to know that I better be your baby's godfather," Sirius rose his glass high and everyone chorused out: "To Mimi!"
Sirius looked around the room and smiled at all the merry guests and his best friends in the world. He had realized that as the reality of Mimi grew farther apart and her memory grew stronger, he had realized how much she meant to the world. She had died young but her love and her memory lived on. He remember what Mimi's mother had told Mimi when she left to fight Voldemort: Be happy, my child, love Sirius, love your friends, love life. Do not dwell on the past and look towards the future. And remember Miranda, you will always be in my heart.
Sirius knew that Mimi would want him to be happy, to love life, and more importantly to look towards the future. As he stood next to his best friends in the world he decided he would be happy, he would love life and his friends, but when he looked towards the future he would get back the side that had taken so much from Mimi, he would avenge her or die trying.
----
Lily and James did fulfill Sirius's wish to be their baby's godfather so when Harry James Potter was born they immediately called upon him to do so, but they left the role of godmother vacant. It was to be filled by the memories of Mimi. But, by giving Sirius the role of godfather Lily and James did a lot more for their friend, they gave him somebody to love again, to be responsible for again. And this time he would not fail. He dedicated his first task as godfather to teach Harry how to play I Spy.
