Back In Time: An Alternate Ending

Ummmm....

It is now October 30th. Two months of my Sixth Year was over. It went by fast. I always say this. That it's gone by fast. But it's true. Is does go by fast. And I was enjoying every minute of it.

School was good. I was doing well in all of my classes. Defense was by far. My best. We were still learning about Vampires. I found it very interesting. Kilgore still looked at me at times. When he wasn't speaking to the class. Still freaked me out. But. I just tried to ignore it.

Currently. I'm sitting against a tree. In the part of the Forest I was bit. I know. It brings back awful memories. But. It was nice here. I couldn't explain it. But. I liked it here. I came here sometimes. To relax. And get away from everything. It felt like I was in a whole other world. And I love it.

I was also here. Because something was bothering me. And I didn't know what it was. I know it made me a little bit depressed. I just didn't know what it was.

A snap of a branch. Made me snap out of my thoughts. I jumped up. Wand in front of me. Then. A black dog came bounding out of the trees. Right towards me. I rolled my eyes. Sighed. And put down my wand. The dog stopped in front of me. And stood up on his back legs. His two front legs went around my shoulder. I rolled my eyes again. Wrapping my arms around his shoulder. At that point. Remus came walking in from the trees. He shook his head at the sight of Sirius and I.

"Ok. That's it. Turn back." I told the dog. Letting go of him. Sirius took his paws off me. And as he went on the ground. He transformed back into the black-haired boy. He smiled at me. "You really need to stop following my scent. It makes you more of a dog. Than you usually are. And not to mention. It's creepy."

"Don't care." Sirius smiled. I rolled my eyes.

"I tried to get him to shift back before we got here, but he didn't and just ran forward." Remus said. Shoving Sirius. Who shoved him back.

I smiled at them. "You know Siri never listens."

"Siri?" Sirius asked.

"My nickname for you. Sirius. Siri. Give me credit. Your name is hard to make a nickname out of." I explained.

"Alright. I give you credit. You know, you can call me Padfoot." Sirius said.

I shook my head. "Nah. That's just for you boys. It feels weird for me to say it."

"Ok. What about the rest of us? For nicknames." Sirius asked.

"Well. Siri for you. Rem for Remus. James is J. Lily is Lils. Marlene is Mar. Mary is Mare. Dorcas is Cas. And Peter is Pete." I explained.

"I like it."

"What are you doing here?" Rem asked.

I shrugged. "Just sitting. Thinking. This place oddly calms me down. I don't know why. It's weird. I should be scared of this place. But I'm not. I like it here." I explained. Looking around at the scene. The trees. The grass. The pond. The boulder.

"That is very weird. What did you do to make it lighter in here?" Sirius asked.

"I put some blue fire in jars. Put them around the place. And then disguised them to make it look like they aren't there. Simple enough." I shrugged.

"I can't do that."

"Well I can."

Sirius shook his head. "I like it though. It's really pretty."

I smiled. "Thank you." I paused. "What are you boys doing here?"

"We haven't seen you in awhile. We just wanted to make sure you were ok." Rem answered.
