Diclaimer: We don't own Harry Potter!

Preface

I opened the last parcel, wrapped in red paper, from Hermione. It was a book titled The husband by Catherine S. I raised an eyebrow at the teenager. She grinned and said, 'It's really good… a muggle bestseller. You'll like it.'

'It's not romance, is it?' I asked. I wasn't the reader type. That was Lupin.

'No. Adventure.' Hermione's look was expectant. I hated to disappoint her.

'Thank you,' I said. I was really curious. What made Hermione Granger buy me a book? I glanced at Harry, dressed in Molly's knitted jumper, and remembered about James. They looked alike. Sometimes it was creepy.

Chapter One;

'Avada kadavra!' she roared. I saw the green light and then blackness. My neck was throbbing and my throat was sore. I heard the shower running. I smelled toast. Reluctantly, I opened my eyes and found myself in a spacious double bed. I was confused. Bellatrix killed me… this wasn't heaven, was it? I got up and noticed that I was naked. Quickly, I grabbed some pants from an opened drawer and looked at the mirror. My heart leapt. My long hair was gone; instead it was short and well cropped. Yet, I looked the same. Where was I? I needed to find my wand. Then something on a shelf caught my eyes. Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkabanby J.K. Rowling. I opened the book; To the biggest HP fan I've ever seen. And to the most loving husband… from your wife; Selene. Surely, this book didn't belong to me. Sirius Black was a proud bachelor. Well, Sirius Black was a fictional character. So, if I wasn't real… could the others see me? Maybe, I was a ghost? But, I didn't remember choosing. Maybe I didn't die. Maybe, I was in a concussion and I was dreaming that Harry Potter was a book, that I was married…

'Simon? Are you up?' Then a gorgeous woman, not older than thirty, appeared in a long green dress. She was a bit plumb but not too fat. Her eyes were hazel and her hair was wet and dripping in front of her dress. She raised an eyebrow at me.

'Hello… Selene?' I said expectantly. She glared at me.

'What are you playing at Simon? I'm not in a mood… and if you ever get drunk again!'

'Drunk?' I asked.

'Yes! Drunk! Do you remember?'

I shook my head. She sighed and sat on the bed. 'Well… you were really happy about the baby… ended getting drunk. At least Mario had the tendency to drive us here!'

'Baby? What baby?' I asked. Selene's eyes widened. She started stuttering. Her face turned red. She punched my shoulder.

'Are you still drunk, you bloody idiot!' Her eyes gave me shivers. I realised the small bump on her stomach… I decided to give it a go.

'No, love. Just joking! I'm really happy about our baby. Well, I hope she's good looking as me!'

She cracked a smile.

'I apologize for… getting drunk.'

'Only YOU manage to get drunk without getting a hangover!' She said and walked towards me. Her hand touched my face and she kissed my cheek. I gave her a small smile as her chubby fingers lingered on my cheek.

'I'm not sure about the hangover bit… I'm pretty, well, confused,' I admitted.

She raised an eyebrow at me. 'Well, I'm going to buy some painkillers… don't forget your toast,' she added and walked out of the room. I remained there. So, I was Simon and married to Selene and was going to be a father… and Harry Potter, my grandson, was a hero of… my favourite book? I glanced around the room and saw something moving in a box. TV? No sound was coming out of it. Then, I remembered Arthur's remote control. I glanced around the room and saw the small box. Volume. Plus. Sound.

Well, it is not a big surprise that Daniel Radcliffe…

Then I saw Harry… no, it wasn't him. His eyes were blue. He was wearing school robes… and glasses. What was this?

'Hey, I forgot my purse! What are you doing?'

'Watching TV?' I answered. Selene rolled her eyes and gazed at the box. 'He's cute!'

I bit my inside cheek and she frowned. 'Simon, are you alright?' Her voice was soft and her eyes showed concern. I sighed. Maybe this was a dream… I knew it was a dream. I knew nothing about Simon but knew everything about Sirius.

'I'm Sirius Black,' I tried. Selene raised an eyebrow. 'Yeah… see you in a few minutes.' Then she leaned in and whispered; 'And I'm Bellatrix Lestrange.'

Food. I needed food. I started eating the toast and reading Harry Potter. Selene gave me the pain killers when she arrived and sat next to me.

'Simon?' Her voice was quiet. I looked up from the book. 'Mum called.'

'Mine?' Selene chuckled. 'No… mine! She…'

'What's wrong?' I asked.

'Well, she wants to stay here.'

'Here? With us? Aren't we like married?'

Selene flushed. 'I know… she wants to help with the baby.'

'Well, we don't need her here… I mean, you don't look happy by the situation love,' I answered. She wiped her eyes. 'I wish that she'll stop being a bitch about this whole situation,' she replied. 'I mean, it's not my fault that I couldn't get pregnant.'

I hugged my wife; Simon's wife. 'Don't worry… I'll call her and tell her we're ok.'

'Really?'

'Yes,' I replied. Then, Selene got up and handed me a pink device. What? She huffed and pressed a few buttons. I put it near my ear and listened to the sounds.

'When did she call?'

'This morning at six.'

'At six! Dammit- '

Hello, Anna Wood here.

'I'm Sirius; I mean I'm Simon and I seriously need to speak to my mother in law.'

Ah, Simon. What do you need? I'm really busy and I don't need you mutt to waste my time. I don't know how my dear Selene even breathes from the same air that you do.

'Did you just offend me ma'am?'

Yes, stupid boy! Now I must really-

'Listen, we decided that you're not coming here helping with the baby.'

What? Ah, so my dear Selene didn't even have the guts to call herself. I bet she's next to you. I want to speak to her.

'No, our decision is final.'

She's a barren. She should have married that boy from Italy and-

'Bye Ms. Anne Wood. And by the way, go to hell.'

I gave the device to Selene. 'That went well,' she said sarcastically. 'Are you sure that that wasn't my mother?' Selene nodded and took my hand. She kissed it.

'I love you… I want you.'

'What?!'

Her lips met mine but I was frozen. I didn't fancy Selene and two, I was still worried about my identity. I pulled away. Her breath hitched and she looked at me.

'There's someone else, right? You gave up on me, right? You pity me; that's why you're with me!'

Before I could respond, Selene ran out of the room. I sighed and ran after her. 'Selene! I'm…'

Then, I watched her as she stumbled and fell down the stairs.

So, that's our first chapter. Review and tell us what you think…
