sidenote: the scenes in which the story is told are not narrated by Remus. also, this is my first attempt at writing something sad so please tell me what you think
Walking down the stairs at Grimmauld Place, his head full of questions and a picture in his left hand. Fortunately, he could see that the lights in the kitchen were still on and he saw exactly who he wanted to see sitting at the dinner table all by himself. Entering the kitchen, Harry raised his voice:
âRemus, can we talk?â
âOf course Harry, what´s the matter?â
Harry said down across the table from him and took a deep breath.
âI â I was in Sirius room and I found something. Do you know who this is?â
He placed the photograph on the table. He had found it between Sirius´ bed and the wall as if it had been hidden. It was very old, Sirius looked so young and happier and more alive than Harry had ever seen him. His beautiful face was formed to a laugh that Harry could almost hear when the picture moved. He had his arm wrapped about someone that Harry did not know. The Y/H/C girl was laughing as well, looking at Sirius with so much love in her eyes. But who was she? She had to be important to his godfather or he wouldn´t keep a photo of her and the way they looked together showed Harry that they had loved each other. Why did he never tell him about her?
He turned his eyes to Remus who had a sad smile on his face. âThat, Harry, is Y/N Y/L/Nâ, Remus said and sighed. âShe was the love of your godfather´s live and probably one of the bravest people I´ve ever.â
âWas? What happened to her?â
   âH-Hey, Y/N, can we talk?â, he walked up to her looking unusually nervous.
âOf course Pads, what´s the matter?â, she smiled at him.
âI was wondering if you would like to go to Hogsmeade with me this weekendâ, he asked with a lot less confidence than he usually had.
âOf course, but I thought it was already clear that we would go. I already talked to James and Remus.â, she responded. Why was he being so weird? They had been friends for years and they went there with the other marauders many times.
âYes I know, but..wellâ he sighed and it took all of his courage to finally say: âI was wondering if you would like to go with me alone.â
Oh, she realized. She looked into his eyes and saw that he tried to seem as confident as always but he wasn´t. She gave him a big smile: âOf course, I would love that Siriusâ. On his face she could see how relieved he was.
âYes, I wouldn´t love anything moreâ
After he walked away and turned right at a corner, she could still hear him saying something along the lines of âGuys, she said yes!â and three very familiar male voices cheering.
 The sun had already left the sky for a few hours and the street lights were the only source of light. They were already past curfew but neither of the two cared. A light breeze hit her face as she heard their footsteps in the snow, walking next to him.
âDid you have fun?â, he asked her. Sirius wasn´t nervous anymore because he knew he could be himself around her.
âAre you kidding?â, she laughed âToday was amazing, Siriusâ
âGood, because it would be awkward if only I thought that wayâ, he joked. But it was true, he had felt so free and safe with her
He looked over to her, the moonlight shining in her face and it looked like her Y/E/C eyes had captured some of it.
He stopped walking and she copied. âWhy are we stoppingâ, she asked quietly.
âYou have a lot of snowflakes in your hair, do you know that?â
âNoâ, she laughed âDo I look stupid?â
âStupid? I think you look beautifulâ he smiled and tucked a strand of hair behind her ear.
The compliment made her blush and she hoped he wouldn´t see it in the darkness so she looked at her feet.
He couldn´t hesitate anymore. He placed his hand on her cheek and pulled her closer to him until their lips finally locked gently.
It was magical and she never wanted it to end. She wanted to be here forever, kissing Sirius in the darkness of a winter night as snowflakes slowly hit the ground.
 Pacing up and down in the hallway, she waited for him to finally come out of there. Originally, she wanted to be by his side during these moments, but she wasn´t allowed to.
âYou´re a disgrace, do you know that? I don´t want to imagine how many people have already heard of your charades. Do you ever take into consideration what the others will think?â, she heard screaming from behind the door. She stood in the hallway for what felt like an eternity and heard angry voices every few moments. Finally, the door opened and a black-haired witch dressed in old, expensive looking gowns exited the room alongside a wizard who was dressed similarly. Both looked distressed and irritated and almost didn´t notice her standing close to the door until they passed her.
âAnd what are you doing here? â, you asked and looked up and down on her with a look on her face as if she was about to vomit.
âI´m here to see Siriusâ, she answered blunt and she tried to stand as straight as possible.
âOh, so you´re the mudblood he is currently seeing. Well, I have to inform you that it is better for both parties involved if scum like you stays as far away as possible from members of my family.â, she threatened her calmy.
Y/N took a step forward, closer to Walburga Black who was about her height, looked her directly in the eyes and said: âLook, I know that you are telling yourself you are better than other witches and wizards because your blood is ´pure´ but keep it to yourself next time because I don´t need to hear about it and I don´t care what you think about me. So step out of my way right now because I want go see Sirius. Unlike you or anyone in your family I actually care about him and his well-being.â
âDon´t you dare talk to me like thatâ, Mrs Black said enraged.
Y/N didn´t listen to her anymore and made her way past her as if she wasn´t even there. She still noticed how she was spat at.
 Sirius was leaning against a table in the front part of the room, looking at his feet making his hair fall in front of his face. âHeyâ, she greeted him calmly with a soft voice.
He looked up to her with red eyes and a red mark on his cheek.
âOh god, did she do that to you?â, Y/N asked even though she already knew the answer. She now quickened her pace to reach him faster. Once she was standing right in front of him she gently cupped his cheek with the red mark with her hand and looked into his eyes. He looked so sad and hopeless and she was the only one who ever saw him like that.
âAre you okay?â, she asked and tucked the hair that fell into his face behind his ear. Sirius couldn´t open his mouth because he knew he would break down if he did. He shook his head slightly and she pulled him close to her into a hug. He laid his head on her shoulder and wrapped his arms around her waist.
âDon´t worry, you´re going to be fine. I´m here for youâ, she said with her head pressed against his chest as he started crying.
 It was a quiet night, almost ironic considering what was about to come. The lights in the flat where turned off and silent breathing could be heard. Everybody was asleep and they normally wouldn´t wake up for at least a few hours.
Suddenly, the sound of wood breaking cut the silence and was so loud that everyone had immediately been waken up.
âGood morning, I´m sorry to disturbâ, a highly amused female voice sad âI´m looking for my dearest nephewâ followed by hysterical laughter that gave him goosebumps.
âY/N, baby, I´m begging you; stay hidden in here, ok? I´ll handle the situationâ
âNo, Sirius, you can´t fight her aloneâ
âPlease, you´re safe on here if you´re quiet. I love youâ
He kissed her what would be the last time and ran through the door.
âOh there you are, I almost didn´t find you but your spell wasn´t as good as you thought. Thought you´d be safe here didn´t you?â, she started laughing  again.
As he looked through the room, he saw his two best friends lying on the ground close to the doors of their bedrooms.
âOh, them? Don´t worry they´re not dead yet, they just can´t moveâ, she said and placed her foot on James´ face to move it.
âDon´t you dare touch them!â, he yelled and casted a spell that she quickly rejected.
âDid you just attack me?â, she asked quietly but then raised her voice
âDid you just attack your own aunt?â
âCRUCIOâ, she yelled and he instantly fell to the ground, screaming in pain.
That´s it, Y/N thought. She could no longer listen to this horrible women torture her boyfriend and her friends. She drew her wand and exited the room.
âStupor!â, she screamed but Bellatrix protected herself from the spell.
âWell, well, well. Look who we have here, the mudblood my nephew calls his ´girlfriend´, ha! I didn´t think I´d be lucky enough to meet you tonight.â
She took a step closer and casted a curse that Y/N rejected as well.
She laughed like a maniac while casting a few more spells that were also unsuccessful, until she managed to let Y/N fly into a nearby wall, knocking her unconscious.
She turned to Sirius again and released him from his torture, then disarmed everyone in the room.
Sirius stood up, his legs shaking: âYou will not hurt her!â, he yelled, angry at first but then his voice started sounding desperate âPlease, take me instead.â
 âOh, my sweet nephew, I was going to kill you bloodtraiting disgrace of a relative anyways. AVADA-â
âNO!â, Y/N screamed out in fear and jumped in front of Sirius as fast as she could. He tried stopping her but he couldn´t, it was too late. The love of his life fell to the ground like a doll and his aunt disapparated in a cloud of smoke.
He sank to his knees where she was lying. âY/N? Y/N please answer meâ, he cried out and shook her body even though he knew it was hopeless. He refused to believe it. She had just stood there, she couldn´t have died.
At the same time, James´ and Remus´ spells had lifted off and they ran over to him.
James´ held her hand that was still warm and Remus was standing above them in disbelieve.
âY/N, baby, wake upâ, he whispered but she didn´t answer.
âShe- she can´t beâ, Remus said with tears rolling down his cheeks.
But she was, and she would be forever.
  Harry looked at Remus who had tears in his eyes.
âBellatrix killed her?â, Harry asked shocked, Remus just nodded.
âI´m sorry, I didn´t know she was so important to you, I shouldn´t have askedâ
âNo, Harry. It´s okay, you should know about Y/N. Talking about it isn´t easy, but that´s alright, she shouldn´t be forgotten.
