The other Marauder

Chapter 28

Sirius knelt down on the ground,staring at where Lizzy stood.His fingers picked up the rings set on the ground.It may have sparkled and glinted under the sunlight but that didn't reflect Sirius' feelings at all.In fact,instead of the joy which usually was like the glint-the spark that made the diamonds and other jewels shine.But now,it only felt as though all signs of light or even life was gone from inside him.From inside his heart.Is this what it felt like to lose what you love-To lose everything?This all had to be a dream.It just had to be...

Yet,everything was real.She left him.To protect him.He didn't know what would become of him-of them.She couldn't just expect him to find another woman to love right?He couldn't just love another woman.He loved her.And only her.She was the only woman he saw.He couldn't deal with this heartbreak.But maybe she'll come back.Maybe this was some prank.It just had to be.

He clutched the rings tightly in his hand,tears pouring down his face like an endless river.

"She's gone..."He choked.He turned to Remus whose eyes held pity.Sirius looked so miserable.So broken.So helpless.Remus crouched down beside his friend,patting his back in a somewhat,hopefully,comforting manner.

"She's gone..."Sirius whispered.

Remus pulled him up,supporting him as he apparated away from there and to Lily and James' house.

And as soon as they arrived,Lily gave him a questioning look,but one look at Sirius and she knew something dreadful had happened.Lily had led them to living room and sat Sirius down on the plush sofa.With James running in moments later and looking at his best friend in pity.

"What happened?"James asked worriedly.

"She left...she's gone..."Sirius mumbled,still clutching the ring as he stared blankly at the floor.It seemed those were the only words he knew.

Lily and James looked at Remus whom sighed.

"Lizzy.She left him.She wants to protect us by turning herself over.Apparently she has been thinking of leaving for quite some time now."Remus said quietly,still eyeing his broken and helpless friend.

"Oh Lizzy."Lily whimpered,tears starting to stream down her face.James held her waist gently and supportively.

"She sacrificed herself for us...again."James mumbled.

The bright white fireball danced in Lizzy's palm as it continued to grow bigger.A rather sad smile on Lizzy's face.While on the other hand,Lizzy's mother who knew fairly well of the bright white fireball look at her wide eyed and in horror.

Lizzy's mum slowly walked forward with her hands out,all eyes on her.

"Don't do it,Lizzy."She said,inching towards her daughter.

"Why should I listen to you?"She spat."All you've ever done is betray me-us.All you cared about is the Ministry.You never really cared.So why should I care?You deserve to die."She hissed,Everblaze growing in her hand more rapidly as Lizzy fueled it with Anger,fear,betrayal.

"I am your mother and you'll listen to me!"Emma yelled,an orange fireball growing in her own hand.

"Oh please.You?My mother?Since when?For all I know I grew up on my own.Without any mother.You don'r deserve to live,Emma.Your pathetic.Your weak.Your a two faced monster!Your-"She yelled

"Enough!"Voldemort yelled,holding up his wand.

"What?!Why should I listen to you?!What?Are you gonna say your my father now?So you can control me?So you can force me to join your stupid ranks?I'm not afraid of you Tom."She hissed.Earning a gasp from Bellatrix.
