Falling

Falling... endless black.... What is going on? I just fell, why am I going this

far? I just went behind the veil.... Where am I? What happened? Stop.

Aching.... Where I am I now? This place is so strange.... Why does it have a

familiar feeling? I know I have been here before... but when? Why would I have

visited this place before now? Who is that? That shadow approaching me.... It

looks familiar too.... Who is that? Prongs? No! It can't be! Why? He died! He

can't be here... with me. I'm alive! I didn't die! How could he have come back?

I was just fighting.... I didn't die! I couldn't have died! There was no pain.

I know I'm not dead! That is Prongs!!!!! Where is this place? What spell did

they throw at me? This is just weird! A hand grabbing mine. I am being pulled

up. Prongs!

"Prongs! My old friend! Where are we?"

"We? You are dead! And I don't want anything to do with you!" James turns away.

"Wait! I can't be dead!"

"You can and you are."

"No, wait, if I am dead, then why do I still have my body? I- I can think...

and remember.... This is not right!"

"If you remember so well, then you will know why I want nothing to do with the

likes of betraying, back stabbers like you!"

"Prongs? What did I do?"

"You thought that changing you as my Secret Keeper to Wormtail would make a

difference? No! You killed my family! I thought we were friends! How long had

you been planning it? A while I guess." James shakes his head. "You know what -

forget it! We will never be friends again! In this life or the next!!" He turns

away.

"Wait! I didn't betray you! It was an accident. I never should have changed to

him.... I have regretted it ever since.... Please forgive me!"

James looks back.

"Harry forgave me," Sirius said in a hushed mumble.

"Harry?" James came closer. "You talked to him after I died?"

"Yes.... That boy saved my life! You would be proud.... They formed a secret

community."

"Really?"

"Yep. He is just like you. Right down to the messy black hair, he has Lily's

eyes though. He is a seeker for Gryffindor team. I think he is much more mature

then we ever were at that age."

"Wow."

"Yeah, he has got two great friends that would follow him everywhere, to hell

and back. Just like us...."

"That's good."

"He misses you, he wishes you were there."

"I wish I could be there too...."

Another shadow comes closer out of the mist.

"Black?"

"Lily?"

"Yes."

"Lily!!! You're a sight for sore eyes!"

"You killed my son!"

"Wait, Lily, Padfoot says he met Harry, that he even saved his life."

"What?"

Sirius shakes his head. "I am so sorry you guys...."

"Welcome to our home." (This is a little confusing. It seems to skip a little.

You may want to add some sort of transition. And who's saying this?)

"Why does this place seem so familiar?"

"We all visit this world... in our dreams. We just never remember it until we

get here."

"So... I have to live here now?"

"Unless we figure a way to get you back out there." (Here you need a name or a

pronoun so that we know who it is.) points up into the black space where Sirius

had come from.

"Wait!"

"What?"

"Do you remember those mirrors we got? To talk to each other in detentions?"

"Yeah.... But how will that help?"

"I have one with me."

"So?"

"I gave the other one to Harry! Your son!"

"Sirius, as great of an idea as that is, magic doesn't work here."

"What?!"

"Sorry mate. Didn't you think that if magic worked, we wouldn't be here?"

"I guess I am stuck down here until I think of a better idea."

"I'll go make dinner."

"Great idea Lily! I always loved your cooking! It's been a long time since I

have had it, too!"

"Well, you won't have to worry about eating it for too long.... We can get you

back."

"If I can go back... so can you!" Sirius says, getting excited; he could have

his best friend back.

"Sorry again, mate. It wasn't your time to die, so you can go back. We figured

out a way..." (How? Didn't they just say they -had- to figure out a way?) James

glances back at Lily, "but we can't. It was our time. We gave our life so Harry

could live."

"What? Sure you can come back!"

"No... we can't..."

Sirius looks thoughtful. "Then I will stay here!"

"You can't do that either." (Death has a lot of rules, huh? XD)

"Well, why not?"

"Harry needs you. Moony needs you. You are needed by so many more up there than

you will ever know."

"But Prongs, I need you also."

"But I am gone, mate. As much as I would love to go back, you know I can't.

Even if you don't want to, you know in your heart that... you have to go

back."

The darkness and mists fade away. "Good-bye, my friend... Padfoot."
