"How?" she whispered. "How can you love me?"

"By proving to me that I'm not like them, Sirius. You've shown me that I'm capable of love where they aren't. I love you and that has saved me."

"What are you saying?"

"I'm saying that I've been entirely selfish. I've kept you tied to me and to a life that was killing you without acknowledging that it would all have to end sometime. We will leave Hogwarts and what we have wouldn't survive outside the walls. I'll be married and that will be the end...of everything."

"I wish you wouldn't say my name like that."

"Like what?"

"Like I'm the most important person in the world."

"Wise. To me, you are."

I don't know when this will be officially published but I've written over a hundred pages, have plans for the entire plot AND it's sequel! I am absolutely in love with Sirius and Helewise and you will be too!!!
