A/N: Sooooooooo you guys said you didn't like cliffhangers so I decided to get this chapter posted, so if I fail my math test tomorrow you're all to blame! So without further ado here is chapter 4!

It was early in the morning shift and everything was busy already. They honestly needed another hospital in the country.

"Doctor Jacobs" said the meek intern standing on the other side of the reception desk.

"Yes Stewart what can I do for you?" replied the dark haired doctor, not even looking up from the magazine she was reading. It was barely six in the morning and she had already had a teenager come in with birds attached to his head, and had chased a six year old down the hallway because he was scared of surgery.

Needless to say, she was exhausted already.

"The chief told me to tell you that you're on the case in room 315" she said looking at the ground while handing Jacobs the chart. She knew this had to be a big case, the chief wouldn't call her down for just anything.

"Thank you Stewart!" said Jacobs taking the chart from the nervous intern while skipping down the hall.

She was excited. This was just the kind of thing she needed to lift her spirits. Another relationship in the dumps and now a surgery … the surgery. A surgery with the chief. She kept the good thoughts coming until she arrived at the room which she was surprised to find five aurors lined outside of it.

"Name?" asked one in a monotone voice.

"Doctor Clair Jacobs" she said, beginning to wonder what kind of patient this was. I mean really, five aurors lined up outside the room? A criminal? A member of the ministry? Either way it was weird.

The aurors looked at her closely, checking her for confirmation. They gave her a stiff nod before allowing her in the room.

Without even looking at her patient or anyone else in the room, she began the typical speech she gave whenever meeting a new patient.

"Hello I'm Doctor Jacobs, now let's see Mr .." she trailed off checking her chart to see the name of her patient.

"Black, but I'm sure you already knew that Claire" said a voice that made her stop dead.

She still couldn't believe it. He was dead. She had convinced herself of that years ago. After a few moments of composing herself she turned to look at him.

"Mr. Black, I do remember you and while you stay in this hospital I ask that you refer to me as Dr. Jacobs" she said, forcing herself not to cry.

The look on his face said it all. Disappointment . But really what was he expecting? Honestly sometimes he had set the bar far too high ….

"Your blood pressure and heartbeat seem fine but, I'm going to run a few more tests to make sure you're in stable condition." she said refusing to make eye contact with him but instead staring at his battered body. He truly was the craziest person she had ever met. It was everything that made her hate him and love him at a previous point.

"Alright Dr. Jacobs do whatever you need to do" he said, looking straight at her. Looking at her was like being sent back in time. To Hogwarts. Things were still semi simple. Yes there was a war. Yes he had runaway from home. But, he was a kid. He was in school. He had friends and a life. He had once been so full of life. He had been a fun, stupid kid. Sometimes too stupid, it was his stupidity that lost him Claire.

He still couldn't believe she looked the same. The same dark hair, the same large plump lips, the same mole above her eye that always mesmerized him as a love sick teenager.

"Sirius' we're going to go down to the cafeteria, we'll be back up soon" said Harry standing up, taking Ginny's hand, he noted with a smile, and the rest of the Weasley's followed him out as Claire began her tests.

"So that's Harry huh?" she asked, right before placing a needle straight into his arm.

"Ye- OUCH!" he said not expecting the shot of pain. " Geez, you sure know how to give a shot" he said looking at her again.

"Well I'm a doctor Black it's my job." she said smiling slightly for the first time.

"You're teeth changed" he said suddenly.

"Excuse me?" she asked, out of all the things he had to say, he said that?

"Yeah, you had braces from first year to fourth and once you got them off they were so perfectly straight it was creepy and now the one on the top left and right have shifted" he said smiling.

She couldn't help but give him a smile for this. " Wow out of all the things to remember you remember my teeth." she said, choosing her tone carefully. She wasn't going to let herself fall back into this, she wasn't. She couldn't be hurt again. Not anymore. She wanted a husband, and honestly, Sirius Black would never be husband material.

"Well everything seems healthy" she said after she had placed his stats into a machine. "You can probably be released by this afternoon.

"Good. Thanks for checking up on me Claire" he said closely in her ear.

God the guy had nerve. He really was Sirius Black. If there was a doubt in anyone's mind whether it was him or not, the fact that he had just flirted with her after not seeing him for seventeen years was well enough proof this was the guy.

"So, before I say anything else, there's no husband, boyfriend?" he asked. She wanted to cry into his arms and slap him all at the same time.

"No there isn't Black, and I'm looking for a husband, a soulmate, and god knows that would never work with you so let's end this before it even starts" she yelled slightly, her emotions getting the best of her.

Regaining the slightest bit of composure she said "Check in with the nurse at the front desk before you leave." trying to keep the tears in her eyes from being released before she turned her back and walked out of the room.

"Claire wait!" Sirius said.

She forced herself to keep walking. 'He doesn't matter. He doesn't matter.' she thought to herself, trying to make herself believe it was true.

"Claire, claire, claire." he said her name three times chasing her down the hallway as she rushed to press the elevator button.

He caught up with her just as the doors opened but, he knew not to follow her. He knew her, he couldn't push her too far. So he did the only thing he could think of, all he wanted to do was talk.

"CLAIRE" he yelled trying to get her to stay, just for five minutes and hear him out but, it wasn't enough. It was never enough. She made eye contact with him for the first time as the elevator doors closed in front of her.

A/N: so that's chapter 4! I told you there would be a plot twist. Sirius needs to have a love interest! He needs to! So I know not much Harry in this chapter but for the next couple chapter I'll be focusing more on his relationship with Claire, but there will be some Harry too! Please please please (with a cherry on top) REVIEW!!!
