I own no one except for Sarah Jane Stone-Black. Enjoy

"Hello Sarah."

I opened my eyes and found myself surrounded by blue and soft white. I looked around, searching for something familiar and saw him.

"Dad?"

Sirius looked at me, his eyes warm and caring, "Yes, sweetie-bear, it's me."

"But if you're here, then that must mean," my face fell. "I died?"

"No, no. It's not your time sweet pea."

"Then, how am I here?"

"You're unconscious right now," Sirius explained. "You lost a lot of blood and Madame Pomfrey's doing her best."

I began to panic, "So…I could die?"

"Sarah," he cupped my cheeks in his hands, "you're not dying anytime soon, that much I promise you. Like I said before, it's not your time yet."

"Am I in Heaven?"

Sirius chuckled, "Yes. Wonderful, isn't it?"

Sitting down on what I realized was a cloud, I nodded. He sat down next to me, ran a hand through my hair, and pulled me close. I sighed. I missed dad. I missed his hugs, his smell, his voice, I missed it all. He kissed my forehead and pulled away.

"I don't want to leave you," I looked up at him.

"Oh Sarah, you have to. You have a life ahead of you. You're growing into a beautiful adult…you look more and more like your mother every day."

"I always thought that I looked more like you."

Sirius chuckled, "You have a certain likeness of me, but I standby what I said. You're starting to look more like your mother. In any sense, you have a life ahead of you sweetie-bear. You're going to marry an amazing man, someone that is just for you. You'll be an Auror and a member of the Order. If everything goes the way I think it will, you're going to have children, precious children and carry on the Black name."

"I can't be an Auror," I shook my head. "There's no way I could catch dark wizards."

"Anything's possible Sarah. Now, you have to be going soon and I want you to know that I'm always with you."

"But-"

"Sarah, you have to go and live your life."

My eyes began to water, "I don't want to leave you. I miss you too much. It's been horrid these past few months."

"I know. Sarah, you and your mother mean the world to me. Harry too."

"Are his parent's here?" I asked.

"Yes," Sirius smiled. "Lily and James are here. They're thrilled that you and Harry are getting along well."

I smiled and wrapped my arms around him once more, "I miss you so much dad. You have no idea. I don't know how I can go on some days, it just hurts so much."

By this time, my cheeks were streaked with tears. I let out a sob and Sirius stroked my hair.

"The one's that love us never truly leave us, they will always be found here," He pointed at my heart. "I love you sweet pea."

"I love you too dad."

I buried my face in his chest and continued to cry. I didn't want to say goodbye, not again. It had hurt too much to get the news of his passing and now that I'd gotten to see him again, leaving was like getting the news all over again.

"Do you remember that song I used to sing you before I went to Azkaban and after I came back?" asked Sirius.

I thought back, "I remember. It's called 'Vienna' isn't it?"

"Yes and for your reference it's by Billy Joel. Sweet pea, I sung that to you then and I still sing it to you now."

"What?" My eyes widened.

"I watch you all the time from up here, just like James and Lily watch Harry. When you go to sleep at night, I sing it to you."

"Really?"

"Yes," Sirius sighed. "Sarah, a father can only watch his daughter cry at night so much before he intervenes. So I began to sing it every night up here, hoping that some way, it would get to your ears."

"I guess it has," I blinked, wiping my eyes. "Thank you."

He stood and I followed suit, "Any time. Now, sweetie, you have to go. If you would like, I'll sing to you before you go."

"I would."

Sirius wrapped his arms around me, "Slow down you crazy child, take the phone off the hook and disappear for a while. It's alright you can afford to lose a day or two. When will you realize Vienna waits for you?"

I took a breath, inhaling his scent one last time before closing my eyes. "I love you, dad."

"I love you too, Sarah."

Song credits go to Billy Joel. This chapter made me tear up a bit. Please review
