#17 Lord of the Dead (Part Two)

Remus looked around the room, the portal behind him disappearing and leaving him enclosed within the new space. Remus walked over to the wardrobe which was open, a tag with some fancy writing on it falling out into his view.

"I hope I got the right size for you, my apologies if I didn't, I don't normally cater to mortal men so my measurements might be a bit off. I suggest you change into this outfit, you'll fit in a bit easier!

The nargals will wash your old clothes for you,
Pandora xo"

Remus smiled at the letter with a confused stare, what on earth is a nargal? he thought to himself. Remus looked at the clothes the letter was attached to, a simple black outfit with hints of blue detail which complimented Sirius' own outfit without taking the spotlight off of him.

Remus took the outfit out and changed into it, Pandora had almost gotten it correct except the jacket wasn't big enough for Remus to zip up without feeling strangled, it fit sleeve wise though so he left it undone. Remus opened the bedroom door slowly and watched as the guards who marched the halls didn't so much as bat an eye at him, guess Sirius hadn't been kidding.

Remus walked up a large staircase which led to two grand doors, when he opened them he was welcomed to a room which was everything he could've dreamed of. The room itself had multiple stories, two spiral staircases on each side of the room leading upwards to different levels.

The room was lined with books, the tables were stacked, the shelves were full, and in the center sat a glass desk. Remus walked over and looked at the paper laid out on the desk, it had his name on it, a certification for him to be sent to his correct afterlife.

When Remus looked up he saw a circular roof made of glass and wood, decorated with constellations. A metal display rotated in the middle of it like the hand of a clock, each minute passing by each map of stars. Remus examined the metal and saw it was a carving of the moon and a constellation he couldn't quite make out. Remus then realized this wasn't an art project but a piece that mapped out the sky itself.

Remus made his way up one of the spiral staircases until he got to a platform, with each step a glow came from under his shoes as if the stars were carrying him themselves. The platform was set right in front of a large arched window that had long, draping, blue curtains with a celestial view. Remus could now make out the writings, he looked at each set of stars and then at the ones connected to the moon, it matched the Leo constellation.

Remus reached his hand up but before he could touch anything the night sky disappeared, leaving nothing but stone in its place.

"It's all an illusion"

Remus quickly flicked his head, Sirius sat in his office chair on the first floor, not turning to Remus but looking back down at his writings.

"I can see that now..." Remus looked back at the roof sadly, the metal moon still spun around the roof and the carvings in the wood remained but that beautiful night sky had disappeared.

Sirius paused and stood up from his chair, as he got to the same level as Remus he noticed his clothes had changed, "Pandora visited?"

Remus looked down at his clothes which, now standing next to Sirius, looked far less attractive despite the matching colours, "it was already in the wardrobe when you left"

Sirius nodded, as if there was nothing suspicious about it. He waved his hand at the roof and the sky reappeared, flushing away the reality of stone and replacing it with a mystical form that lit up Remus' eyes.

"A simple enchantment, but it does the trick." Sirius sighed for a moment then shook his head lightly, "I'll be sending your papers off today, with luck they'll be ready for you in a day or two"

Remus paused, he had been spending so long marveling at Sirius' home he had forgotten he wasn't exactly going to be staying long,

"Right, thank you"

Sirius' eyes narrowed at Remus and he smiled, "you're welcome to visit here during your stay. It's my office though so preferably warn me before you come in, just in case there's business I'm taking care of"

Remus' eyes widened for a second and then the thought of Sirius in a god like rage flashed through his mind, he shouldn't have been turned on by that, he siriusly shouldn't have...but he was, Sirius looked like the type of person who looked hot even when they were mad or crying.

"Thank you"

Sirius smiled then looked out the window, placing his hands on the frames and smiling at the night sky. Remus didn't quite understand, Sirius was staring out as if the sky was real despite knowing it was all an illusion.

Sirius looked back at the metal design, admiring the moon and the constellation that slowly rotated around the roof, "dinner will be ready right about now, let's go".

Remus nodded and followed suit, watching as Sirius' presence dominated the mansion. As Sirius and Remus walked down the halls, every person bowed to them, moving out of Sirius' way even if they were holding heavy objects.

Remus was looking at Sirius distastefully as a small woman who was holding three stacks of plates tried to move out of his way. Remus flinched and his eyes widened at the woman as she slipped on the rug beneath them, the plates flying into the air. Remus reached out for her but Sirius snapped his fingers, a blue fog catching the woman and the plates before they hit the floor.

"Thank you sir"

Sirius kept walking, the woman smiled kindly at Remus then continued on her way. Sirius stopped at another set of large doors and two men came rushing over to open the doors for him, leading Remus into the large dining room.

Remus walked slowly with a guard until he was at the end of the table, Sirius sitting at the other end in a much more refined chair. Remus watched as Sirius detached his cloak, the fabric disappearing as Sirius rolled his cuffs and sat down.

Remus' eyes lit up at the table as a gourmet dinner appeared along with a drink in a silver chalice. He looked up at Sirius, who smiled back and started to eat, taking sips of his drink in between bites. Remus was cautious to accept the food but he was drooling simply at the smell and against his better judgment, began to eat.

Their plates were empty and Remus watched as two servants came and collected their dishes, Remus looked at Sirius who was staring back at him with intrigue, swirling his drink around. His head was rested elegantly on one hand which was propped up on the chair's arm and his legs were politely crossed.

"You haven't touched your drink" Sirius gave a small pout, as if he had squeezed the juice himself.

"I couldn't tell what it was"

"Wine."

"Plan on getting me drunk?"

"You're a soul, you can't get drunk"

"Poison me?"

"You've made it clear where your boundaries lie, and again, you're a soul, you can't be poisoned...not with that anyway"

"..."

"Just drink it" Sirius rolled his eyes with a smile, "you're so paranoid".

Remus drunk from the glass out of spite towards Sirius' comments but then licked his lips, "this is actually quite nice, what is it?"

"Pomegranate" Sirius smiled and continued to drink,

"Oh I didn't know you could..." Remus' voice began to slur and his vision started to go fuzzy, "you fucking bastard"

Remus dropped from his chair and Sirius walked over, still holding his own chalice, "babes I'm the god of death, what did you expect?"

Remus' eyes blinked once last time before his world went black and all that remained was the image of Sirius in his mind.

Hope you liked part 2!

Honestly I'm having so much fun writing this like I'd genuinely make this a book if I knew everyone was going to read it.
