Chapter 4:
I awake in my room in my house. I look around and notice everything is all cleaned up. My trunk for school is at the edge of the bed. My pet owl, Hedgy, was perched in her cage asleep. I smile taking in the familiarity of it all. My TV was sitting on the entertainment center my dad had built last year. My dresser and closet were full of muggle clothes and robes. I smile as the family picture on my bedside waved at me. It was my family, of course. I sigh and look down at my body. I begin to wonder what happened between the hospital and my house. Lying back down, I look up at my ceiling where the stars were placed in constellations. I love astronomy; therefore, I have constellations and pictures of other stuff.
"Kels," I hear Matt whisper through the door, "Kels, can I talk to you?"
"Why?" I state firmly.
"I need you to know something."
"Fine."
"Okay," he says sitting down on the side of the bed, "Look! I love you, Kels. A lot. I will not let you get hurt, but you know what… I will let you play Quidditch. Only if you will watch yourself and be careful. You have to report any unusualness to me or Sirius, who will report it to me. Therefore, I know what's going on and if I can help. Okay?"
My eyes sparkle and swim with tears, "Okay, big brother."
I smile at him softly, and he looks at me.
"Good. Now let's get you ready to head to this dance." He says smiling and pulling out a package.
"Dance?" I look at him questioningly.
"Oh yea… you agreed to go to some dance at the Potter house with Sirius. He is the only reason I agreed for you to do Quidditch…and even go to this dance." He smiles softly, handing me the package.
"What is this?"
"A dress of course," he smiles and helps me unwrap it, "to wear to the dance."
As we unwrap it, the dress falls out into my hands. The material is silk and velvet. The color is a deep blue, and it is beautiful. I stand up and put it on. I slip off my pajamas and then slip on the dress. The shoes are black and I decide to leave my hair down. I let it fall in ringlets around my face. My eyes sparkle as I look at myself in the mirror. I look like a pale princess ready for a ball.
"Oh, Matty, This is beautiful. I love it. Thank you." I smile and hug him.
"Good…" I hear Sirius say behind me, "Because I picked it out."
I spin around and wrap my arms around his waist, "Oh thank you, baby."
"Hey… it's a win-win situation here. I get to see you in this beautiful dress, and you get a beautiful dress."
I giggle, and then turn to hug Matt, but he is already gone. I turn back to Sirius who is fixing his own hair in the mirror. He turns and kisses me deeply. Then he grabs my hand and leads me downstairs.
"Kelsey," Matt says standing at the bottom of the stairs, "You are to be home by midnight… or you will turn into a pumpkin."
I giggle softly, hugging him to me, "Yes… Fairy Godfather."
Sirius wraps me in his arms, "I'll have her home by 11:30."
I giggle, "Yea, big brother. What he said… I'll be home by 11:30."
Sirius kisses my cheek then we turn and leave. As we walk outside, I look up at Sirius and smile. He smiles at me and we head next door to James' house. When we get to the door, a doorman opens the door for us immediately.
"Master Black… How are you and your young lady today?" the butler asks as we walk in.
"We are well, Jim. We are here for the party." Sirius says politely as we take off our coats.
"Well I figured that much." The butler giggles, "I do hope you both have fun."
"Thank you, Jim. I will try to make her night wonderful."
I giggle and turn to him. He smiles at me, softly kisses my cheek, and walks me into the ballroom. James is meeting everyone at the door. He smiles when he spots Sirius and I walking in. James' eyes sparkle as he pulls me into a hug. He holds me for a few minutes, until Sirius clears his throat. I giggle and gently hug him back before pulling away to go back to Sirius. Lily walks up, smiling huge. She puts an arm around Potter's waist and I smile.
"Let's dance, baby." Sirius whispers in my ear. "I promise you that tonight will be amazing."
A reddish flush covers my cheeks. I smile and nod at him, afraid to say anything. He pulls me to the dance floor with him, and then I put my feet on his and we sway to the music. I smile up at him, wrapping my arms around his neck. He continues to lead us dancing on the floor. I giggle, and lean against him. I kiss him softly on the cheek as we dance. His gray eyes sparkle as he stares at me lovingly. I stare back up at him with twinkling eyes like his. The night goes by almost too fast. It seems magical as he holds me in his arms.
"Kels," Sirius whispers to me as we lean against the wall together, "I love you. A lot. I'm glad your mine… all mine."
I smile softly at him, "I'm glad I'm all yours too, sweetheart. I love you too."
"Good," he smirks a little.
He pulls me into his arms, almost like a baby, and then carries me to my house. I lean my head on his shoulder and smile up at him as we near my house. He opens the door magically, and then carries me in smiling. He chuckles as he lays me on the couch.
"So… do you think Matt will be mad if I stay the night?" he whispers, lying down beside me.
"I don't know, baby. He may not mind, but you never know until you try." I giggle, wrapping my arms around him.
"So true," he whispers, lying there running his hand through my hair.
He begins to hum softly again. I smile up at him, sleepily. He continues to run his hand through my hair as he kisses my lips softly.
"Yo, Sirius." Matt's voice interrupts the moment sternly. "You can stay, but I must ask you to not touch my sister like that."
I giggle and curl up to Sirius, who is chuckling. He holds onto me and smiles up at Matt.
"I promise. I won't do anything to hurt her, nor will I do anything she doesn't want me to." Sirius states sternly.
"Good." Matt states.
I look over at my solemn brother. He smiles at me, with teary eyes. Sirius begins to run his fingers through my hair again. I smile softly at him and my brother. I sure am glad I have such great people who care about me; I smile inwardly at this thought. I curl close to Sirius and smile softly. Sirius whispers something softly in my ear, and then he begins to hum again. He runs his fingers through my hair as he hums, and it makes the whole time more relaxing. The next thing I know, I wake up in my bed still wrapped in Sirius' arms.
He snores lightly, his face closer to mine. I look him over as he sleeps. He smiles, and then whispers my name. I giggle softly, trying not to wake him. He wraps me tighter and I curl closer to him. Slowly I begin to fall asleep.
