I don't own Harry Potter. I wish I did, but I don't.
Sirius' POV
Present
"So that was the last time you saw him?" Ginny asked me as the whole room was silenced.
"Yes, but I did know that he was going somewhere good... For a little bit he was going to go live at Hogwarts, at least until he had a more permanent home."
"What about Clara? What happened to her?"
"Her I saw again." I told them. "The day I escaped..."

When Sirius escapes
I was in my dog form, trying to sneak past the dementors. They can detect a human, but not a dog. I could easily just run, go out and leave right now.
But I couldn't leave Clara behind. She might be considered insane, but I still loved her. I would love her no matter what.
I wandered around all of the halls, looking in every cell. It should be impossible to escape, and yet I was just wandering around. I was so scared that I would get caught, get kissed by a dementor.
When I finally found her, I looked around until I finally found her. I slipped into her cell and looked around. There was no one around so I quickly turned into my human form.
"Clara." I said and ran towards her, kneeling right in front of her. She was sitting on the floor, her head in her knees. She gently rocked back and forth.
"Hello." She said and looked up at me. She had dark rings under her eyes, her beautiful smile wasn't white anymore. She looked very different than I remembered her, but still beautiful to me. "Who are you?"
I sat there, stunned. She had actually managed to forget me even more. I couldn't believe it. She had no idea who I was.
"My name is Sirius." I told her and she smiled ever so lightly.
"It is very nice to meet you Sirius." She said and then shook my hand. "How do you know my name?"
I thought for a minute. I couldn't tell her that I was her lover, shock her into a coma or something. "I was your friend in school." I lied. "We were close friends and I just figured that I would come and visit you."
She smiled, seeming to believe that. "What school did I go to...?"

Present
"So I told her about her life. She didn't remember any of it of course. But she loved hearing about it..." I sighed and thought about her more. "When I think about it, she was just like I remembered, except, not the same. I was still in love with her, I am still in love with her. But for her safety and mine, I can't go see her."
I looked up at everyone, and it actually seemed like Ginny and Hermione were crying.
"And you've never seen her since?" Ginny asked me and I shook my head.
"Of course not. I want to though." I said and sighed. "It's hard to know if you haven't really been in deep love, but even though she was insane I still wanted to marry her, raise a family with her."
The room was silent and then I stood up. "Well, it has been a pleasure talking to you all, but I have to go see where that bloody house elf is." I said and walked upstairs.
I sighed and reached into my pocket, pulling out the one photo I had of Clara. She was beautiful.
I thought of her, then of Arcturus and smiled. They would be alright.
End of Chapter! Now I know that this is short, but I have to wrap this up since I will be gone camping soon and I still have one more chapter to do, believe it or not, and it will not be like the others.
