This right here is the climax of the story, so be ready for it. Only one more chapter after this. SO SAD! I wish this story didn't have to end. I so enjoyed writing it! But I guess it's better this way. I'd like to have most of my incomplete stories finished by the time I have to go back to school, that way I can start off the new year with a bunch of new stories, instead of just plodding along with my old stories. Enjoy!

-Funny word ending

*****

Sirius wasn't sure exactly what was going on. All he knew was that Harry was in the Department of Mysteries, walking right into a trap set by Voldemort.

And he also knew there was a god chance he would die today.

It was alright, though. Sirius had been ready to die for a long time. He had been ready to join the love of his life and his daughter, whom he'd never even met.

"Sirius!" Remus cried. "Sirius, we have to talk."

"We have to go!" Sirius hissed. "Harry's in trouble!"

"Sirius, if either of us dies today, I'll never get a chance to say this. Alexa's alive! And so is your daughter."

Time stopped. What felt like a second could have been years, and vise-versa.

"W-what?"

"I only just found out. They didn't kill her when she broke into Azkaban. They sucked out her soul. Or at least, they tried to. But she was pregnant, as you know. And they just…couldn't, I guess. And then they sent the baby, Alexa named her May Lily Black, to an orphanage. Alexa's in St. Mungo's."

Sirius was hardly paying attention to anything, but at 'St. Mungo's', he sprung to life.

"Remus," he began, but his friend was way ahead of him.

"Go," he said decisively. "I've been lying to you too many years. Go, meet us at the Department of Mysteries, and hurry!"

And Sirius was off.

Alexa heard a tapping on her window. There were no Healers in the room.

"I can't hear you!" Alexa informed the window. "Because you are not real. You are a sound I made up in my mind, and I'm having none of it!"

Very proud of herself, Alexa Harrumphed! loudly and folded her arms over her chest. Only the tapping didn't stop.

"Fine then!" she told the window. "If that's how you want it!"

And she waltzed over and opened it.

There was a black dog sitting under it, whimpering.

"Ah, the hallucinations again," she said fondly. "I do so enjoy the ones with him in them."

She stared at the black dog and watched as it transformed into Sirius Black, who leapt through the window, took her in his arms, and kissed her, all in what seemed to be one large motion.

"Oh!" she cried. "N-not a hallucination!"

He shook his head. "Not a hallucination."

"I-is it really y-you, Sirius?" she asked, happier than she'd ever felt before. "Is it really and truly?"

"Really and truly," he promised her. "And you look just as lovely as you did fourteen years ago."

She touched his cheek. "Sirius," she breathed.

"I have to go soon," he told her, ruining her moment of total bliss.

"No," she said instantly. "No, you can't." She held onto his hand tight. "Please," she added, her voice barely a whisper.

"Harry's in trouble," he told her.

"Harry," she repeated. "Little baby Harry…Our baby, I named her May. May Lily Black. They said….they told me she died. I don't believe them Sirius, I don't-"

"Shh," he placed his finger to her lips. "May's alive. They took her to an orphanage. She lives in Ireland."

"I'm coming with you," she said suddenly.

"No," Sirius argued. "It's too dangerous-"

"I'm coming," she repeated. "The last time you left me was fourteen years ago, and I thought I'd never see you again. I'm coming with you."

There was chaos. Fighting, wands waving about, spells flying every which-way. People falling to the ground, few of them getting up. Alexa should have been terrified.

But she wasn't. she held Sirius's hand as they ran, dodging spells, to find Harry.

"Harry," Alexa breathed, seeing him. "He's all grown up."

"And just like his father," Sirius replied, by way of an agreement.

Harry saw them between running and throwing spells.

"Sirius!" he yelled.

"Harry!" Alexa sobbed. "You were just a little baby when I last saw you!"

"Sirius!" Remus yelled, but it was for a much different reason. "Behind-"

But Sirius already saw it coming. And as his last act as a living man, he tried to push Alexa out of the way.

But she was having none of it, and when they fell through the veil, they fell together.
