Chapter Thirteen; A Final Wish

Thanks guys! This is the final chapter, but I'll starting the third one tomorrow though! I hope you enjoy it! Oh by the way, kind of funny how nobody else woke up to all that racket in the last chapter isn't it?

Snape landed the broom on the ground and he and Harry dismounted it. Then Harry raced towards his mother and leapt inside her arms. "Harry!" she cried while she kissed his head and forehead and hugged him tightly as she breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank God you're alright!" she exclaimed.

"For now." Snape began. "I hate to be the bearer of bad news but I'm afraid that this trip will have to be over. We have to go somewhere where the dark lord can't find Harry." He told her.

"But what about serious?" Harry asked.

"I'm afraid that I have some bad news as well." Sirius began as they quickly turned around and saw that he had been standing behind them. "All of your lives have been in danger because of me, and so I think it's better if I leave you all to live your lives in peace." He explained.

"You don't need to do that. The dark lord will still find a way." Snape told him.

"I'm afraid I must do it, your lives will be much safer because of me, and as long as I'm on the run from Azkaban, the dementors will be after me. I love my family way too much to endanger them." He said with a shake of his head.

"Where you will go then?" Lily wondered.

"Somewhere where not even Voldemort can find me. Goodbye Lily, Harry,.." he began with a slight nod of his head as he grinned at them. "it was good to see you again. And Lily,.." he began with a slight pause as Lily just simply looked at him. "Promise me that you'll give Tobey a big hug and kiss for me." He told her before he transformed back into a dog and trotted away.

"I will Sirius." Lily whispered to herself as they watched him escape off into the night.

Three Months Later,..

"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear Harry, happy birthday to you!" Lily sung out proudly while Snape sang a bit quieter. Lily smiled at Harry brightly while she continued to videotape him. "Alright now Harry, make a wish and blow out the candles." She told him as Harry heaved a heavy sad sigh while he rested his head inside the palms of his hands as his elbows stood propped up on top of the table. He looked at the six burning candles on top of his blue birthday cake.

Lily slowly moved the lens away from her eyes. "It's alright sweetheart, it's not your fault that Sirius left." She reassured him. "Now come on baby, make a wish and blow out the candles." She told him as she bent down and kissed the top of his head. Harry thought about it for a moment before he eventually blew them out as both of his parents applauded and Lily cheered.

"Just out of curiosity what did you wish for?" his father asked him.

"I can't tell you that, otherwise it won't come true." He replied as Sirius' face suddenly flashed inside his mind and he smiled up at him who grinned back down at him.

"I see. Well in that case, I beg your pardon. My mistake." He told him with a wink as the cake magically began to slice itself and since Harry was the birthday boy, it gave him the biggest piece. As he took a bite he spit out something tiny and white in the palm of his hand as Lily went to get Tobey up from his nap and then sat down inside her chair and started nursing him.

"My tooth came out!" he cried as he looked down at the little bit of blood that came out as well.

"Well look at that, I'd say that you're growing up rather quickly." Snape told him.

"Yep you are, and you are going to make a great big brother." His mother told him with a warm and delighted smiled.

"No,.." Snape began with a pause. "he already is one, and Tobey is going to be the luckiest little boy in the world." He said as they exchanged loving smiles. "Now are you going to finish that piece of cake or should I give it to Cowboy?" he questioned as Harry giggled.

"Daddy!" he exclaimed before he happily finished the rest of his cake.
