CHAPTER 9
As they started to gather the injured aurors, Remus kept a tight hold on Sirius, every time he let go, Sirius would fall to the ground. Some aurors that were still standing, apparated the death eaters to the cells in the ministry and the others took the injured to St Mungos.
"I'll apparate back with Riley." Sirius said as he finally let go of Remus.
"You'll need help to apparate back, Dumbledore can take riley back." Remus told him.
"No." Sirius said firmly "I'll take her back, just give me a minute." Sirius added.
"I'll remove this." Dumbledore said and he apparated away, with the body of Voldemort, leaving Sirius, Remus and Harry with Riley.
"This is supposed to be me." Sirius said
"What do you mean?" Remus asked gently, not wanting to upset him any more.
"She discovered the same thing as I did." Sirius said "But she got there before I did." He added. "Lets go." He said and he grabbed onto Riley's hand and apparated her to St Mungos, with Remus and Harry not for behind him. He gently lay Riley down on to a bed and rested her hands on her chest. "I'm sorry" he whispered and then collapsed onto the floor next to her. Remus came in and wrapped his arms around him, trying to comfort him.
"We should go babe." Remus said trying to move Sirius.
"How am I supposed to leave her?" he asked.
"I don't know but we'll find a way to get thru it all." Remus told him.
"Just leave me here." Sirius said "Please." He added. Remus kissed him on the forehead and left him alone. Remus left the room and went to speak to Harry.
"How are you doing Harry?" Remus asked sitting down next to him.
"Not really." Harry replied sighing.
"I know, stupid question." He said, "I'm going to go get a jumper for Sirius, he's soaked want me to get one for you?" he asked.
"Yes please." Harry replied. He hugged Harry and then left to go to Grimmauld Place. As he walked up the stairs to get Harry and Sirius a jacket and as he walked past Riley's room, he saw thru the crack in the door, an envelope on her bed. He grabbed the envelope and jackets and then headed back to the hospital.
"Here you go." Remus said and handed him the jacket.
"Thanks." Harry said taking the jumper, "What's that?" he asked pointing to the envelope in Remus' hand.
"It was on Riley's bed, addressed to Sirius." Remus said then headed to see Sirius. "I know you wanted to be left alone, but here's a jacket and this was left on Riley's bed." Remus said.
"Thanks, stay with me though." Sirius said and Remus nodded, taking a seat next to Sirius who was still on the floor. He rested his head on Remus' knee after putting his jacket on and begun to read the letter, but as soon as he started he begun to cry again.
"We should bring Harry in." Sirius said and Remus called him in. "Can you read it?" Sirius asked as Harry came in and closed the door.
"Molly and Ginny just arrived, they're going to stay." Harry told them.
"Pass me the letter babe." Remus said and Sirius gave him the letter and then begun to read it.
"Dear Dad, Dad and Harry. I love all three of you very much and I hope you understand why I did this. Now everything is over and we can all be with the ones we love. Dad and Dad still have each other and Ginny and Harry can start their relationship without having to worry about anything. And as for me I can be with Draco again. As I said I love you all very much which is what made it work so much. It was something I knew I had to do and I don't want anyone to cry for me. Please bury me next to Draco and take care of each other. I will always be with you all and we'll be together again when the time comes." Remus said as he finished reading the letter and Sirius was in tears again.
"She did it for all of us." Harry said "I can't believe it." He added.
"Harry lets go chat with Molly and you can stay with her for a while." Remus said and he walked out to chat with Molly.
"Oh Remus." Molly said as she hugged him, while Ginny hugged Harry.
"Is it alright if Harry stays with you?" Remus asked trying to fight back the tears.
"Sure anything." Molly replied "What are you and Sirius going to do?" she asked.
"I'll take him home back to our old place." Remus said.
"No worries, well always here if you need us." Molly told him "Ok, let's go guys." She said to Molly and Ginny.
"Take care of Sirius." Harry said as he hugged Remus. Remus headed back into the room where Sirius was still on the floor.
"Are you ready to come home?" Remus asked "back to our old place." He added.
"I suppose so." Sirius said and got up off the floor. Remus held his hand and walked out of the room, taking one last look at Riley before leaving. As they walked out of the hospital, they noticed the sun was starting to rise.
"Sirius look." Remus said and pointed to the sun and Sirius smiled a little. They saw Riley and Draco, hand in hand walking off together in the sunset.
"At least she's got him to look after her." Sirius said and they both headed back to their old place, both of them sure that at some point, together they'd make it through.
