A/N - And thus ends the story.

~~~ EPILOGUE ~~~

Sirius walked through the halls of the prison that he had once spent many years of his life in. As it was, he hadn't been there in a year, yet he had been trying to get in every day for the past five months, ironically enough. Finally, the Ministry had given in and allowed him permission to go to the prison and meet with his Godson, but only for a five minutes meeting.

"Here we are," the auror escorting him said. Sirius looked up and saw Harry lying on the cell, seemingly asleep. The sight of him reminded Sirius of the days that they had spent together in cells across from each other, with slight differences. Before, Harry had only spent three months in prison before he was able to escape. Now, though, he had been in prison for five months, and that was without Sirius to distract him from the dark thoughts that unwillingly crept into the mind of every prisoner of Azkaban.

Harry jerked awake suddenly and his green eyes flew open as he gasped. Sirius watched Harry as his eyes flickered around the cell before landing on Sirius.

"Sirius?" Harry whispered, his eyes widening.

Sirius watched as Harry stood up and stumbled over to the bars, as if trying to determine if Sirius was a hallucination or not.

"Harry," Sirius murmured.

Harry stared at Sirius for a long moment, then suddenly, his eyes filled with tears. "Why? Why did you leave me? Sirius, you were supposed to protect me! You were supposed to save me," Harry cried.

"I'm sorry," Sirius replied, though he doubted Harry could hear it, his voice was so choked up.

"You were supposed to save me," Harry whispered once again, then sank to the ground, sobbing.

"He's completely lost his mind. It happened faster than usual because he's so young," the auror remarked, looking sideways at Sirius.

Sirius turned and scowled at the auror. The auror seemed unfazed. "Your time is up, by the way."

Sirius glanced one more time at the boy in the cell. "Don't worry, Harry. I got you out once, I'll do it again. This time for good," he whispered so the auror couldn't hear him, then turned and stalked away.

A/N - Okay, so that's finally the end. Before I leave off, I have to thank several people.
