Y/n's eyes stared right at the ceiling. Not any ceiling, It was the hospital wing.

And she felt a touch. Someone holding her hand.

She rolled her eye balls to the left. Sunshine gleamed in his round glasses as his green eyes looked vehemently at her. She sat up, and pushed his soft hands away from hers. Unwillingly.

She looked away, hiding her faint blush. I'm not going to fall for him again, I swear, She promised herself. But Godric knows. 

'You're awake!', Madam Pomfrey exclaimed. 'Happy now, Potter?'

He forged something between a smile and a frown, his lips straight as a line. Madam Pomfrey scurried off.

'Where are the others?', She asked the walls, not meeting his eyes.

'Outside', he said simply, looking down, at the marble floor.

Y/n got up from the hospital bed she indeed felt dizzy, but she managed to walk out to the door. She managed to look at her clothes, which was not what she wore before she passed out. It was her very own, favorite pair of jeans and sweatshirt.

'Hermione? Ron?', she called out in a silent voice, waiting for someone to appear in front of her. 

'Y/n!', said a voice, but it wasn't Ron's or Hermione's. It was Sirius Black.

'Sirius! you're alright!', She said. He pulled her into a hug, that she longed for about a year.

'I am... and you too, Y/n', he said. 'You scared the shit out of me'

'Oh, really? what did I do?'

'You...', he paused for a moment, thinking whether to answer that question or not. But yes, he did, 'You passed out, and... your pulse...'

'My pulse was decreasing?', She read his mind, Occlumency always helped in so many ways. And Harry did the CPR....

'Indeed yes,' he said. 'Like...'

'It's okay, leave that... I'm perfectly fine now!', she blushed and snapped before he could think of an answer. She smirked at her, waiting, or hoping for him to tell her something. 'Forgot the main part?'

Sirius bit his lip blushing, and nodded. 'A girl'

'Woah! Sirius, congrats! where's Ophelia?', she asked, Euphoria filling all the wounds in her heart.

'Home', he said.

'I can finally have a sister, I've longed for my life y'know!', she punched the air. 

'We, want you to name her, me and Ophie', he said. Y/n looked at him, doubtfully. Thinking if she had heard that right.

'Name the baby!?', she asked disbelieving. 'Seriously, Sirius?'

'Yes, Yours Seriously Sirius', he said smirking.

'I think Artemis sounds better because, the Black family have all the constellations and star names', Y/n smiled.

'I am very pleased with that name, dear Niece'

 Harry came outside. She pretended not to notice him.

'Madam Pomfrey wants you in', he said. Y/n replied nothing and went inside swiftly.

Harry looked on the verge of tears. He bit his lip furiously and admired the floor. Sirius looked at him concerned. He knew what happened the whole year. Hermione and Ron had narrated everything to him, when he was outside Ophelia's room in St.Mungo's, pacing up and down the corridor in anxiety, or it could be described as eagerness.

'Harry, you're free?', he asked him.

'When was I not-free?', He said rhetorically.

'Alright then, to the Black lake for sometime'

......

Y/n was given a bitter medicine which she disliked more than Theodore Nott. She stuck her bitter tongue out, as Professor Dumbledore walked in.

'Hate the medicine, Y/n?', he asked her, his blue eyes twinkled. He sat down on a chair which was opposite Y/n's bed. 

'Yes Professor, you could taste that for yourself if you want'

'Just ate Sherbet Lemons, don't want to spoil that taste ', he laughed. 'Well, how are you feeling?'

'Okay'

'Okay,' he repeated. 'We came to know all that happened over the last year, I should really say sorry to you because it was because of the lack of my attention towards the school'

'Not actually, Professor', she said. 'It was because of that Umbridge woman!'

'Professor Umbridge for you, Y/n', he said.

A part of Y/n wanted to ask what had happened to her, and the whole of her wanted her to be dead. Of course, who wants her alive!?.

'What happened to her?', she asked him anyway.

'She was found unalive in the Forbidden Forest, as far as we know, a giant must've killed her, and her wand laid beside her, snapped in half'

'Oh', said Y/n's mouth. But inwardly she said, YES! THANK YOU GODRIC, SALAZAR AND... Etc., She purposely pretended that she was sad. Her insides were blooming with happiness.

'Y/n, I'll talk with you sometime later?. Poppy there is sending me daggers, that you should be taking rest now. Good luck', he got up from his chair and went to the door.

'Thank you Professor'

'And oh!', he turned again. 'Your friends are here to meet you'

She tilted her head and saw the bright faces of Hermione, Ron, Rigel and Ginny.

.....

'Harry, when you like a girl, you need to know what makes her laugh and what makes her cry', Sirius explained. 'If you guys are trying to patch up again, My piece of advice is... Do-not-do-something-stupid'

'I never did something stupid!', Harry protested. 

'Kissing another girl, In front of her wasn't stupid?', he raised an eyebrow at him. Harry looked at the Lake, and the Waters reflected the sunlight and their own images. He looked at an owl drinking water from the lake, it must be a school owl.

'Look Harry', said Sirius. 'If you want a girl to notice you, you needn't show off, or act like a...'

'A piece of shit?', Harry offered.

'Yeah', Sirius giggled. 'You just need to be yourself, that is what they like'

'Even mum and dad?'

'James....he was a Lovesick idiot who was dragged behind Lily like he was her tail, He did everything. Everything to grab your mum's attention... And Lily, she'd never notice him, and yeah, sometimes, James would earn a good slap'

'I don't want a slap', he nodded.

'You better not want...Y/n wouldn't hesitate to kill you', he giggled. 'So, remember what I said Alright and... yeah the main point!'

'What!?'

'Don't compel her with anything... Just do anything if it is her own wish alright?', he said. 'Do you have the mirror I gave you?'

'The mirror?', Harry looked in confusion. 

'The package I gave you... It is a mirror, when you need me, or talk with me, just tell my name to it... I have another one, In which we can contact'

'Okay', he said. 'Take care of Ophelia and the baby'

'Yeah, her name is Artemis, Y/n named her', Sirius smiled. 

Harry mouthed the name and smiled. Like he was ready for a new beginning. His new beginning with Y/n.
