hey guys, so I hope you enjoy this chapter as it is one of the last in this book :) There will be two more chapters before the epilogue and ten that's it

To be honest this book went a lot of the original direction and probably bored all of you after the last few chapters but I didn't know how to write this and I'm happy with how it is because I could have done a lot worse

Now please remember to enjoy these chapter and please remember voting and commenting is appreciated a lot, thank you :) (hopefully you'll like the near end)

I followed the lady, walking as quickly as my feet could carry me but she seemed to almost slow down as we got closer to the room. I gulped back the air as I felt myself begin to get nervous. I was finally going to see her; I was finally going to find out everything that happened.

She led me into the room and switched on a light.

"I'll leave you two alone. Maybe she might want to tell you what happened. I'll be back in ten minutes to do some checks," the lady said before closing the door behind her. I immediately sit down next to Ariel, looking at her as though she was an angel or something. I had no clue what was going on as I waited. I didn't know if my last memory of her alive would be me firing spells at her.

"What happened?" I choked back some tears as I look down to the white tiling of the St. Mungo's. I didn't want excuses right now, I wanted the whole truth. There had been so many lies for too long, I wasn't going to listen to anymore. I just wanted the truth; nothing else.

"Bellatrix. Bellatrix Lestrange is what happened," Ariel said in a hoarse voice, trying to grab my hand which was sitting next to her on the bed. I quickly pulled my hand away. No. I would not get involved with her until I knew exactly what happened. She was dangerous. That is all that I can assume about her. I cannot assume that my cousin was completely at fault, no matter how much I wish to blame her.

"Let me repeat; what happened?" I said through my teeth. Ariel blinks for a few moments before nodding her head and sighing. She knows I want to hear everything. I'm sick of everyone's lies. Why could no one just give me the truth? It really wasn't too difficult, was it?

"That night, at the Ministry. When she was there and she fired that spell at me. You thought that I was fine, but I only looked fine. Did you not realise I was acting differently? I wasn't me, Sirius. I wasn't me for ages until finally that night you were taken to the Malfoy's. That night I broke out of the cage I was locked in.

"I couldn't bear it. It was all my fault but I couldn't control myself. My grief helped me to break out and finally for the next while I was a lot more aware of what was going on. But it was too late. Bellatrix had full control over me. The spell she used that day, Sirius. It was the Imperius curse. I couldn't control myself because she was controlling me.

"She controlled me to tell you things. To make you keep Kreacher as I knew Kreacher was helping them find out some information. She made me listen to conversations and tell her. Anytime I disappeared, I was with them, Sirius. I couldn't help what I was doing. There was no control.

"That night, when you were fighting me. I didn't go to you to start a fight. I went to you because Bellatrix had planned on being finished with me after Harry was 'dead'. She hadn't been controlling me because she was too focused on the war ending and by the time I got to you, she was dead. There was no one controlling me. But the spell was still there. As long as the wand was there so was the spell.

"I came to you because I could control myself but not much. I tried to tell you but I couldn't. I didn't have the ability.

"The hospital found out about the spell, they got the ministry to track it. They found Bella's wand and ordered for it and any other wands of deceased death eater's to be destroyed. I'm alright again," Ariel finished, giving me a small smile. I smile back slightly as I look at her. This is a miracle. She's okay, she was gone but now she's okay.

"I missed you so much!" I exclaimed as I hugged her. I wrapped my arms around her neck and pull her tightly towards my chest as I give her the biggest hug I can. "You weren't a death eater. You didn't kill them and you weren't involved in their death. I don't have them but I still have you!"

"Remus and Tonks? You don't know how much I was dying as I did that. It literally killed me, Sirius. I have never had to do anything harder in my life before. They are my best friends, whether I was doing it or not I still felt the regret. I tried to stop her; I tried to speak but I am not that strong Remus. I couldn't control myself and it absolutely killed me."

She was crying. I didn't really know what to do. What was I supposed to do? She was crying and the tears seemed to be flowing out. It was like a bloody waterfall. I pulled her closer to me, trying to comfort her a little more.

"No, don't cry. It's not your fault. You couldn't help it. There was nothing you could have done. You were brave, you did your best. Please just don't blame yourself," I tell her, looking down at her face. I wipe away her tears and give her a small smile. She smiles back up at me and leans up, giving me a kiss.

I kiss her back immediately. Oh, how I've missed her so much. I would probably have died if I didn't get to kiss her one last time at least. She was so perfect and she was just beautiful and I couldn't be with anyone better.

But our kiss was cut off almost as soon as it started as the nurse comes back into the room and coughs, giving us both a smirk. Ariel blushes as she looks up at the kind woman and I give her a cheeky grin. I can't help the grin. Ariel just makes me want to smile all day. She's really just great.

"I have to do some last checkups. She'll be ready to leave tomorrow as long as these checkups go well so come collect her around lunch tomorrow," the nurse tells me and I nod. I turn around and look at Ariel, giving her a wink.

"I'll be here tomorrow from breakfast in case you get out early," I tell her and she gives me a proper grin that makes her whole face light up. Gosh, she was amazing.

I walked out of the room like a love struck puppy which I guess you could say I was. I walk back to the kids and they all see the grin on my face and smile back at me.

"What happened? Why are you so happy?" Harry asks immediately, a curious gaze on his face. I grin even more as I look at them.

"Well, get up and I'll explain at the house. I'll make you all some dinner tonight. I'll invite everyone else over too and give them all an explanation."

"Fine," Harry says but he still looks curious and now kind of unsatisfied too. But I just grin.

A few hours later everyone is sat around the table, picking at their food as they wait for answers. I finally get up and they all seem almost relieved.

"I'm not going to go into detail like she did but long story short Bellatrix put Ariel under the Imperius curse. She wasn't able to control herself and then Molly here killed Bellatrix which kind of helped. Then St. Mungo's traced the spell back to her, broke her wand and everything is good," I told them all. They all smile to each other.

"Does that mean you're both going out now?" Fred Weasley shouts across the table, followed by some hoots from his brother. I just laugh and look at the twins with a spark in my eye.

"You just wait until she gets out, boys."
