Sirius Black sat with his pregnant wife, Adrianna, leaning on her for support. He'd recently returned from Godric's Hollow and been informed by Hagrid that Lily and James, parents of his young, green-eyed godson, had been murdered. A swirling mass of emotion tangled themselves up, polar opposites of each other.
"Hunt Wormtail down...Make him PAY for what he's done," said one voice, fiery, furious, and fuming. He called that one Primal.
"No. Let the Ministry handle it," said another voice; Logic, he guessed.. "They'll do what's best, surely. They won't let this injustice reign."
"Fuck the Ministry! That bastard killed James and Lily!" shrieked the angry voice. Sirius had to admit, hunting down Pettigrew seemed more and more appealing. "The Ministry doesn't know that Pettigrew's an Animagus. Only three people knew that, and now that number is down to two: you and Lupin. Lupin probably won't get involved, or he hasn't been informed of James' passing yet...Of his murder." Primal's voice had begun to snarl, sounding more animalistic, much like Lupin when he changed during the full moon. Or when he himself changed into the black dog.
He sat up, using a sleeve to clear his face of tears and snot. He stood up and without turning said, "I'm gonna go for a walk. Don't worry, I'll bring my wand for protection."
"Well, alright, but don't do anything stupid, okay? I don't want to lose you, Sirius," Adrianna said. She rubbed her swollen belly. "Neither of us do."
He couldn't help but smile a little. He bent down as he turned toward her. He rubbed her belly and gave her a kiss. "I promise you, I won't do anything otherworldly stupid, okay?" he said. "I'll be home soon."
"You'd better not be going after You-Know-Who, or Pettigrew, Sirius," she warned.
He chuckled. "The Ministry doesn't know he's an Animagus. The only ones who do are Lupin and I now," he reminded her. She caressed his cheek, sweeping a thumb over it as her hand cupped his jaw. His heart turned over. Maybe he shouldn't leave. He could stay here, just let the Ministry investigate, like she'd said.
"No! We are going out there! And we're gonna hunt that son of a bitch down and make him suffer for every waking moment of the rest of his miserable life for what he did!" Primal raged.
"But-!" Logic piped up. A wave of Primal shot it down, hot and aggressive. He tightened his grip on his want and set out.
