Summary: Sirius sits alone in Azkaban, remembering how he has been forgotten. Compaion to "Krista" found on ffn dot net.
Warnings: None
Sirius sat in the cold, damp, dreary cell of Azkaban. He was alone, even the screams of the other prisoners couldn’t keep him company. Five years had passed since he was thrown in here to die. Five years since James and Lily were murdered and Harry made an orphan. Five years since he had to leave her, Krista.
Had she forgotten him? Did the memory charm work as he intended and she had moved on with her life? Or maybe it had backfired and she remembered everything. If that was the case, she’d be in danger.
He hoped, with everything he had left, that she had forgotten all about him. Remus certainly forgot about him as did everyone else in the world. Only the minister on his annual visits and the dementors that glided past his cell remembered he was here. No one else.
Sirius remembered everything about that night five years ago. He longed to forget the dead stare of James’ hazel eyes, his glasses askew on his face. He longed to forget the muggle screams and the sound of the Ministry Hit-Wizards apparating onto the street. He longed for everything to vanish from his mind but that would never happen as long as those dementors made their rounds.
Krista loved him and they could have been married. He could have had a family like James had, children and maybe a dog, a house in Godric’s Hollow. She fit in his life, she fit with his friends. Lily loved her which was a shock in itself because Lily never card for his female companions.
But that would never happen now. He was destined to be forgotten in this cold cell. No one would remember Sirius Black for anything other than a murderer. Even his godson would never know how much he cared for him.
Sirius curled up on his hard cot, his worn and patched robes pooling on the mattress. He wanted to cry but there was no emotion left in his body other than pain. Finally a solitary tear slid down his cheek and he let it drop, not wasting the energy to brush it aside.
His family, the one he wanted his entire life, was gone. Krista, the woman he could have married - that he wanted to marry - no longer remembered him. Five years had passed with him sitting in this cell. He knew because of the marks on the wall by his pillow. One for every day he had been there.
The world went on while Sirius sat, forgotten in his solitary cell.
