Danger ~ S. Black

23: Sirius: What's going on?

*JAMES*

Lexi had been in a coma for months. They were beginning to think she'd never wake up. Everyone is terrified, but we can't figure out how to help her. This affected so many, but us Marauders are worse than anybody.

Remus spends every moment possible trying to find a solution, along with Lily. Sirius hardly talks and hardly eats, and is basically depressed. I have to leave classes multiple times due to breakdowns.

Lexi has barely been here for a year, but she's made such a difference in everyone's lives. The teachers love her since she's an O student, the only people who can possibly hate her are a few of the Slytherins. She's always so helpful and kind, so loyal and friendly, so strong, and brave, so Smart and cunning, and so unique and unafraid to be herself. We love her for it, but I wish she'd wake up.

I'm currently in the library (shocking, I know) trying to find something that might wake her from her coma. I'm scared. I've been without her before, but I don't want to lose her again.

Lily comes over to me and sighs.

"We're gonna go visit Lexi if you wanna come with us." I nod and stand up, putting the book away. We leave the library, heading to the hospital wing. We meet up with the Marauders and go over to the fireplace. We all floo to St. Mungo's and go to Lexi's room. Today she's whispering stuff. I go over to her and gasp when I hear what she's whispering.

"Nana? Papa? Where am I?" She's whispering. She seems to be having a conversation with them. If it was possible, I'm even more scared. I notice how much paler she looks than she did when we visited her a few days ago. And she's having even more trouble breathing.

*SIRIUS*

I'm visiting Lexi with everyone else, but she seems to be having a conversation with her grandparents..... I can't hear much of it but one phrase stays in my mind, bouncing off the walls of my skull like a ping-pong ball.

"I'm.... Dead...? But Siri...... Jay..... Lils..... Al..... Mar..... Rem..... What about my friends?" I can't believe it..... No! It can't be possible! She can't be dead! Not yet! She's so young! She had so much of her life ahead of her!

That's when her breathing stopped.

A silence seemed to take over the room.

The only sound audible is everyone crying.

"No..... She can't be dead! Lexi please!" I plead, looking at her.

Lily hugs James, Marlene hugs Remus, and Alice hugs me. We all cry onto each other's shoulders, already missing her even more.

+About a month later+

James had been working to plan a funeral for Lexi, though nobody wanted to admit she's gone. St. Mungo's has kept her body, and I still visit her hoping it's a just a dream. Everytime, nothing. She's as dead as she was when she first died.

I'm sitting on the couch when James approaches me, tears in his eyes. He's been working on her funeral. He's always like this when he plans her funeral.

"Sirius, I want you to read at her funeral. And sing a song." I looked up at him.

"Of course I will Prongs.... I just wish it was all one big dream...." James nodded, and went back to planning. I went up to my room, and sat down on my bed, grabbing a piece of parchment. I started to write my eulogy for her.

Lexi Potter was an amazing person. She was kind to everyone unless given a reason not to. She was my girlfriend, and I was incredibly lucky to have someone like her as my girlfriend, not matter how much I ever hurt her. She was one of the bravest people I've ever known, braving more than anybody should ever have to go through. She deserved to live out a full life, have children, and marry who she loves. However, I know that she wouldn't want us to grieve her death. She'd want us to celebrate her life. As much as I miss her, I have so many fond memories with her. For example, when I first met her. I called her Alexis, and she nearly killed me. She had so much energy when she was sure on something. And she was so Sassy when she wanted to be. I know I'll miss her forever, but I also know that I'm so lucky to have so many fond memories with her. Lexi Potter did not die in vain. She will not be forgotten as long as we remember her. As long as we remember her, her spirit will live in our hearts forever.

As soon I finish writing this, I decide to pick a song to sing. After careful decision, I decide on the song Without You by David Guetta. I suddenly get this off feeling I should go to St. Mungo's to visit Lexi's body, even though I know it's going to be dead like it has been. I stand up and go to the hospital wing, and floo to St. Mungo's. I go to Lexi's room and freeze in the doorway, staring in shock at what I see.

Ok, again Please don't hate me. I know ending on another cliffhanger is evil. But I promise I'm going to work on the next one as soon as this is posted.

Here's the song:

Out of curiosity, what do YOU guys think Sirius sees? Of course I know what he sees, but what do you guys think he sees?

Anyway...... Hope you enjoyed! Stay you, and stay positive!

p.s. I'm already working on the next chapter, so don't worry.

p.p.s. I was originally going to wait a week to post this (posting on Monday) but I decided to be nice. You're welcome.
