I cried for 3 whole days after I read this. I kept reading it just to make sure it was real. My Grandpa. Dead. Why?

I skipped those 3 days of classes. Anything there would remember me of my Grandpa. He was a great wizard, one of the biggest of all times. And he was the first wizard that worked with muggles, built an empire, had no problems and no muggles found out about him.

And he died. Of a muggle sickness.

Yes, I do see the irony.

The thing is, I never realised how much I love my Grandpa and how important he is to me until now.

I guess you only notice things when you can't have them anymore.

In these 3 days, everyone tried to chear me up. All my friends were being as friendly as possible. My friends who lost someone, too, tried to explain to me that it happens, that people die everyday, and he's in a better place. But it all didn't make me better. It actually made me feel worse. Just to imagine millions of people that already cried over someone who died... It's not something we should call 'normal' and that we should accept. People shouldn't die. Everyone should live. Call me nuts, but it's my opnion.

Some of the people that hate me tried to make fun of me, but Sirius and everyone said they would jink the first person that laughed at me. But I just ignored them. On the Great Hall, I kept looking down at my plate, eating. Then I would rush back to my Domirtory. In Friday, the 3rd ( and last) day I skipped, at lunch time ( after class finished) , I went to the Common Room even faster then ever 'cause Sirius clearly wanted to talk to me, and I was clearly not in a mood of talking. But, he ended up reaching me, when I just threw myself in my bed because I lost all my air. He sat next to me and said:

- Julia, you can't keep missing classes, okay? Besides, O.W.L.s are starting soon enough and you've to study.

- Hum- I said. I felt his hand on my back, drawing invisible circles/hearts, like he always does.

- Come on. You got to get out of here. Class already finished. Just at least get off this bed.

- Hum.

- Julia.

- Hum.

- Don't make me to pick you off here.

- Hum.

- You leave no choice - Sirius said, and he got to his feet. I realised what he would do too late. He lifted me off my bed and started to carry me on his arms. I started to laugh, and as Sirius got down the stairs I said:

- Put me down, Sirius.

- Huuum what about... NO?

- Sirius. Put me down. Now.

- Nope.

- Sirius. Orion. Black. You. Put. Me. Down. - by now everyone was looking at us, but I ignored them - Now.

- Let me think... Oh yes. I decided. No.

- Sirius...

- Give me a kiss and I will put you down!

- Great! I said, and gave Sirius a kiss- Now will you put me down?

- Hummn no. I didn't though you would do it, but the kiss sure made my day better.

- Sirius, I swear I'm gonna kill you!

- Huumm, no... I'm pretty sure there are people who wanted to kill me before you did so they have priority. We all know who's the first of the line - Bellatrix. Then mum. Then maybe Narcissa. In others words, my whole family, apart from one person or two. And all the Slyterins - Now we were going down to the lake, almost there - so you might as well as just leave it - When we finally reached the lake!, and Sirius put me down, I slapped his face.

- Wow, what was this for? He asked.

- For doing this.

- This what?

- What what?

- Wait what?

- Wait what what?

- What?

- I got really lost somewhere...

- You were on about how you're sorry for the slap and want to kiss me.

- Not really. But yeah. Sorry for the slap - I said, and kissed Sirius. He was the only person that made me happy these days. Just being around with him makes me happy. We sat down, on the fresh green grass and I put my head in Sirius shoulder, and started to talk to him about grandpa. I soon started crying. Sirius gave me a full hug, the one that only him can give, with my head in his chest, the tears wetting his t-shirt.

- Sirius.

- Yes?

- I love you.

- I love you more.

- No. I love you more.

- Julia, you are the most important person in my life. You are the only person that fully understands me and likes the same things as me.

- What about James?

- James is my best friend. You are my life. I love you so much I am dying inside seeing you crying. If you got killed or anything, I swear on the Unbreakable Vow and on the River Stynx I will kill the motherfucker who did it to you. I will die trying, but I will not give up until I see that son of a bitch dead.

I really didn't know what to say. To be honest, I love Sirius, but I never though he would love me that way. I am surprised he actually loves me.

- Huuum... Thanks Sirius....

And I fell sleep in his arms, the tears still flowing from my eyes, wetting his t-shirt.
