'AH!' She screamed jumping up, she reached for her wand. 'Lumos' she shouted. Realising there should be no-one to cuddle. The light cast a blaze over the bed, sat upright was a shaken looking Sirius, draped in a furry black robe.
'What the hell!' She shouted.
'Look, I can explain.' He stood and turned on the light in the room, looking around as if for the first time. She wrapped herself in Reg's robe, shaking slightly, her heart wanting to hug him her head wanting to punch him.
'I am an animangus; Pad-foot is the animal I turn into.' He said sitting on the bed blushing.
'I…a what? I was here for hours and you couldn't tell me.' She said burning with rage. 'I got undressed, oh my god!' She shook her head. 'Get out!' She shouted.
'Hey this is my brother's room!' HE said looking coyly at her.
'That it may be and you can have it back but I would like to get dressed so I can leave.' She said, hurt showing obvious on her face.
'I'm sorry' He said trying to touch her arm as he left, she brush him away before collapsing on the bed. She heard the door to the next room open and a lot of cursing, she was furious, but had a job to do. She dressed into a pair of tracksuit bottoms and a tennis T she used to wear, she brushed her hair and left the room sealing it as she went. She heard raised voices down stairs and went to join them. She entered the kitchen, she noticed many wizards she had seen my face but none by name so she smiled politely and went to help Molly with the tea. In the corner of the room she spotted, Sirius, he jumped up as he noticed her and walked over.
'Please shell I'm so sorry.' He said, touching her chin lightly.
'Don't bother!' She answered rather more loudly that anticipated, the others looked over.
'Oh dear, has he upset you?' A wizard she knew as Remus asked, shaking his head mockingly at Sirius.
'Huh, upset me? No, why would I be upset about being lied to and perved on. You know what Sirius Black, you disgust me, I was your friend and you took advantage of me.' She said her voice choking a little. She saw Severus shift in his seat. 'I bet you knew and said nothing, great did he fill you in on the gory details, maybe next time he could take a picture.' She said turning to hide the tears that had now formed in her eyes. Molly touched her hand, just as Albus arrived.
'Hmmm atmosphere, I could almost taste it as I entered. Well we must get down to business, Severus your news on Voldemort?' He said, ignoring the mortified look on Sirius' face and the equally appalled look on Severus'.
The meeting lasted just over 40 minutes, Michelle felt ashamed, all the wrong happening in the world and she sent her time moaning. What was wrong with her? She cleared the tea cups from the table. A hand took hers, which made her jump.
'Miss Winters, I assure you Sirius and I did not discuss anything, we don't speak as a rule.' Severus said sincerely.
'I know, I was just angry that you didn't tell me.' She said, looking at his sad eyes.
'I didn't say because I thought you knew, I figured as you had been associated with the Black family for so long you would have known.' He said, touching the side of her face, and then regretted what he was doing and stopping.
'I have been, immature and selfish. With all the horror happening this is so insignificant. I'm sorry.' She said taking the hand he was about to put in his robes.
'Don't say sorry, you have every right to be angry with him. I should go in there and …' She put a finger to his lips to stop him.
'Your kind to want to, but we have bigger problems, how long has your mark been bothering you?' She said stroking his left arm.
'How did you know?' He said brushing over the initial question.
'I have these dreams, not all the time, but sometimes. I think where we have shared tome together my subconscious has somehow become attached to your emotions, when i woke that morning, I had dreamt about you, about you pain and past.' She said blushing a little. He looked upset, a little angry with her.
'I don't know what to say.' He said looking away, you have invaded my feelings; I had never wanted to share.
'I'm sorry, it was involuntary and I should have said nothing, but I hoped that if you knew that I knew then you might talk about it.' She said, this time stroking his cheek, he didn't flinch; he felt strangely like he could tell her everything, The kitchen door opened and Albus entered.
'Sorry, bad timing again.' He said his eyes smiling.
'Not at all, I was just leaving. Miss Winters.' Severus nodded to her and then the head master before apparating to his destination. She sat in one of the kitchen chairs.
'Albus, I'm so sorry for making things harder than they already are.' She covered her face with her hands and shook her head.
'Don't be silly my dear, Remus has informed me of what happened, though I do believe that Sirius had good intentions at heart by not telling you. He was a silly boy, who had got too far.' He said smiling.
'I know, I must apologise to him.' She said looking softly at Dumbledore.
'Ah my dear he is licking his wounds upstairs I believe, he feels very ashamed.' He said removing his wand. 'I must be off, I will be back again for the meeting on Sunday as arranged. By the way the place looks amazing.' He grinned before disappearing. Shell walked upstairs and tapped gently on Sirius' door.
'Yes?' He said softly.
'It's me, can I speak with you?' She asked.
'Yes' he said sounding a little shocked it was her. She opened the door, walking in and sitting next to him on the bed.
'I'm sorry.' She said looking at him.
'What are you sorry for?' He said sounded dumbfounded.
'I have been silly; you were doing what you thought, by not telling me. It was your secret to tell and if you didn't want me to know then that was your right you…' She said stopping as he shook his head.
'No I am sorry I didn't tell you before and if I'm honest I like spending time with you like that, I didn't have to worry about saying something stupid.' He said looking at his hands, on the bed next to him she noticed the stationary that she used to write to Regulus on.
'What's that?' she said smiling, reaching past him for the letters.
'I took them from Reg's room while we were in there earlier. They are your letters.' He said. She got up and kneeled in front of him, he looked at her closely. She placed her arms around him and held him close to her; he took in the deep scent of her hair and felt her curves move against him.
'I've missed you; I was so worried that something had happened this should have been my first reaction, not shouting at you.' She said the heat from his body making her tingle. She drew back slightly so they were face to face, eye to eye, she moved her hand up to the back of his head cupping it lightly. His heart rate raced, as over and over I is mind e pictured kissing her. His hand moved down to the small of her back, holding her closely to his hardening man hood, god she had an amazing effect on him.
'Sirius' she said softly.
'Yes.' He whispered back. She moved forward, their lips touching softly. It quickly became more heated and she held his face to hers, his hand moving over her bottom, the other through her hair.
He breathed heavily, moving her up on to his lap, she sighed as she felt his hardness under her.
'Stop, I can't I'm sorry.' She said pulling away, straightening her top. Sirius smiled looking thoughtfully at her.
'Stopping I can do, though I can't guarantee I can keep my composure.' He grinned; she looked at him, a tear rolling down her face.
'I'm really sorry, I have never…' She started; he stood and took her hand.
'I guessed, as long as I don't repulse you.' She kissed him gently on the forehead, he sighed.
'Far from it.' She smilied. He stood, looking at her on the bed.
'I seriously need a cold shower.' He said, sitting down next to her.
They sat and talked for hours about Regulus, and about his family and hers. Sirius, watched her laugh, and listened to her telling him about things he never knew about his brother. He filled her in on the things about after Regulus stopped all contact. She cried a little, Sirius believed he stopped contact with her to protect her, she felt guilty think he died alone and friendless.
'Sirius, could we visit his grave?' She asked, Sirius, looked away, feeling a little ashamed.
'I don't think I can.' He said tears forming in his eyes. She pulled him close to her and he rested his head on her chest, he listened to the rhythmic beating of her heart.
'We'll go together, but not till you're ready.' She said kissing his head.
'You're stomach rumbled, are you hungry?' He asked, looking at her needing a change of subject and postion as he was getting turned on being so close to her. They went down to the deserted kitchen, Sirius called for Kreacher, though he never came.
'Stupid house elf, he never does as I tell him.' He moaned.
'Mr Black, how have you managed all this time with no-one to cook for you?' She said taking a few things out of the fridge. He watchd her hunting through cupboards, and the fridge.
'I just didn't eat or ordered take away.' He said putting his feet up on the kitchen table.
'Don't think you getting out of helping, put this on.' She said trowing him an apron. He stood up and tied it, as she began chopping onions by hand.
'What do you want me to do?' He said looking curiously at the ingredients.
'Um…crack some eggs if you like.' She said, frying some onions off in the pan.
'Mmmmm, that smells good.' Molly said as she came in through the door with all the children.
'Sirius!' Harry shouted spoting his god father. Sirius hugged the boy tightly, caching Shell looking at him smiling to herself.
'Harry my boy, how have you been?' He put his arm around Harry shoulders and let him out of the room, glancing and winking briefly at Michelle.
'Thanks Molly.' She said, Molly putting on Sirius' disgaurded apron.
'No problem, mmmm omelette all round I think.' Molly said grinning. After cooking the tea and everyone had eaten they all retired to the lounge, Sirius sat playing wizard chess with Harry and the girls all sat in front of the fire talking animatedly.
'That settles it!' Ginny said getting up, she opened up the record player and magically put it on. She too Hermione's hand and they danced around laughing, Shell watched with Ron and the twins, smiling at the flirty eyes Hermione was giving to Ron.
'Come on Professor Winters!' Ginny said dragging Michelle up on to her feet, the started dancing together like kids, laughing hard at each other's groovy moves.
'Come on Molly.' Shell said making the woman get up and join in. Harry and Sirius stopped there game to watch the girls, Harry admiring Ginny and Sirius' eyes glued to Michelle's body watching the way she moved driving him crazy.
'Lee Jordan reckons she's really fit, we had her for Quidditch practise, proper sexy in the white trousers.' George Weasly said, following Sirius's gaze. 'Even Snape couldn't keep his eyes off of her, Fred reckons he had to have a cold shower.' He added laughing.
'I see.' Sirius said looking a little put out, wondering if he needed to have a word with these boys.'
Michelle span over landing on Sirius' lap.
'Don't let me go, I can't tke much more.' She said laughing. Sirius moved close to her ear.
'I don't plan on ever letting you go.' He whispered, making her tingle.
