harry potter meme ϟ [2/3] deaths: sirius black (June 18, 1996)

But some part of him realized, even as he fought to break free from Lupin, that Sirius had never kept him waiting before, Sirius had risked everything, always, to see Harry, to help him. If Sirius was not reappearing out of that archway when Harry was yelling for him as though his life depended on it, the only possible explanation was that he could not come back… That he really was…

“Mar?” And as Marlene’s name escaped his lips, and Lily finally dared to look him in the eyes, Sirius knew. It seemed as if his whole chest collapsed within itself. He was falling, no – he was dying. Every bit of light he had left was seeping out of him like a fresh wound. No, he was dreaming. That was it. He had nightmares all the time. “No.” He shook his head, and could barely hold himself back from laughing. He wanted to laugh, the thought seemed so bizarre and unrealistic that any other response would have felt inappropriate. But Lily was looking at him, and all Sirius wanted to do was scream for her to stop. Her eyes couldn’t hold back the pain of it all anymore. He felt James trying to reach for him but his body was already moving him towards the stairs. A second passed. A second passed, he was standing in the doorway and the world stopped. The world had stopped because Marlene looked exactly the same as he had seen her last. He could almost hear her laugh. “I love you, Sirius Black. No matter what”. He had kissed her. Kissed her as if he would be kissing her for the rest of his life. He had said, “I will see you soon.” He wasn’t saying goodbye.

                           A second passed. The world stopped. Marlene was gone.

“Naturally,“ said Madame Rosmerta, with a small laugh. “Never saw one without the other, did you? The number of times I had them in here – ooh, how they used to make me laugh.”

@quidditchleaguenet‘s january challenge: characters lost in the wizarding wars — sirius black

Harry heard Bellatrix Lestrange’s triumphant scream, but knew it meant nothing — Sirius had only just fallen through the archway, he would reappear from the other side any second… . But Sirius did not reappear.

We’ve all got both light and dark inside us. What matters is the part we choose to act on. That’s who we really are.
