Chapter 10: Friend's day out

Kat woke up the next day, sunlight blinding her as she sat up. Sirius was fast asleep next to her, his hand entwined with hers. Kat smiled and got dressed before heading to the kitchen to make breakfast.

"Morning kitten" Sirius mumbled.

"Hey baby. Do you want toast?"

"Yeah, that's fine thanks; you're the best... where are you and Ali going today?"

"Shopping"

Sirius laughed.

"You go shopping? Are you sure?"

"Siri, it's a special sort of shopping but I can't tell you because it's a surprise"

"Ok, I'll guess I'll find out in five months then"

Kat spun around, her eyes wide, Sirius failing to keep a straight face.

"Oh come on kitten, you've been calling it you know what shopping ever since our double date when you and Ali were talking about the weddings and what still needed to be doing! I'm not stupid!"

Kat smiled and gave Sirius a small kiss.

"Ok smarty pants"

At ten to ten, Kat knocked on next door and Ali answered, called goodbye to Remus and the two set off into town. They arrived at the little wedding shop and gently pushed the door. Somewhere in the distance, a little bell rang and a lady ran out from the back of the shop.

"Hello and what can I help you with today?" she said in a high pitch voice, a large smile on her face.

"Um, we're looking to buy wedding dresses" Kat said quietly.

The lady ushered them to some seats, took their dress sizes and dashed into the back of the shop again. Soon, the lady return with two racks full of wedding dresses. Kat and Ali slowly got to their feet and began to look through

"I'll give you girls some privacy!" the lady chirped. She dashed back into the other room and Ali tried to suppress her laugh.

"What can I help you with? It's a wedding dress shop, what else would you want in here?" she whispered to a giggling Kat.

"Oh Ali, look! What do you think?" Kat finally cried, holding up a long strapless dress that flared out at the bottom with a plunging back that stopped in the middle of the back and the top was decorated in little diamonds.

"It looks amazing Kat!" Ali sighed in awe.

"Come on, I'll help you" Kat said with a smile, hanging her dress back up so she could look through the other rack. Eventually they came across a dress that had little straps and also had a plunging back that stopped just above the hips, the bottom flared out like Kat's dress and the hem of the chest was decorated in little diamonds. They tried them on and to their delight, they both fitted perfectly.

Once Ali and Kat had paid, they set off to a jeweller's in the next street to collect Remus' and Sirius' wedding presents and then off to a wizard cafe charmed to look like a shut down ware house to Muggles.

"I'd say today was rather productive wouldn't you Kat?"

"Yes it was... oh how am I supposed to wait five months?" she sighed. Ali giggled and they ate their lunch happily, returning to Grimuald place earlier than they had expected but their spirits were high on cloud nine.

"See you tomorrow!"

"Yeah, bye!" Kat called as Ali walked up the steps. Kat sighed with happiness and went inside.

"Sirius?" she called out.

"In here baby" came a voice from the library. Kat deposited her bag containing her dress in her wardrobe along with Sirius' present and wandered up to the library where Sirius sitting in the middle of the room, the shelf that was originally there having been pushed to one side. Sirius was sitting in a 'fort' made of sheets and pillows. Kat giggled and collapsed into the masses of pillows, Sirius laughing along as he placed a chaste kiss on Kat's lips making her blush.

"I missed you baby" Sirius moaned against Kat's lip, the vibration sending electricity through both of them. Kat moaned back and giggled, Sirius smiling as he looked down on her, her bright green eyes peeking up from under her lashes.

"I've only been gone a few hours" Kat whispered.

"So" Sirius smiled and pulled Kat closer to his chest, her hands sending sparks through him whenever they touched. Sirius ran his hand up her back, her shallow breathing turning into little whimpers of desire. He slipped a finger inside her and found, to his delight, she was soaked.

"Oh" Kat whispered as her fingers automatically flexed against his chest, driving Sirius crazy. With deft fingers, Sirius quickly rid himself and Kat of clothes and rolled the rubber down his length. He laid down next to Kat who was curled on her side in the pillows. Sirius slid into her and Kat moaned. Sirius raised his hips and slowly lowered back down causing Kat to whimper in need and clench her fingers tighter against Sirius' chest.

"Are you ok?" Sirius whispered into her ear.

"Mm hm" she whispered back. Sirius slowly pumped in and out a few more times and only when Kat was begging, her eyes burning bright with want, did he increase his pace. Kat let all the moans roll out as one as Sirius buried himself in her over and over again.

"Sirius" Kat moaned as she spiralled in orgasm. Hearing her moan his name also tipped Sirius over the edge and they came together before collapsing against each other in the soft pillows. Sirius pulled out and threw away the condom before pulling on his boxers and covering both of them with a blanket. Kat had already fallen asleep so he laid next to her and wrapped his arms around her before eventually falling asleep.

Next door, Remus was trying everything he could to get Ali to spill about her dress. He had resorted to picking her up in his arms and refusing to let go.

"Remus put me down!" Ali demanded but she was cut off by Remus' lips crashing against hers. Ali wrapped her arms around his neck and wriggled some more but his grip tightened and she gave up.

"Why do you want to know about my dress? Why can't you just wait until I walk down the aisle?"

"Because..."

"Because what? Face it Remus, you don't have an answer and that's why you're also not getting one"

Remus smiled and placed a chaste kiss on her lips before carrying her up to their bedroom and lying on the bed, her back pressed to his chest as he placed kisses down the back of her neck sending shivers down her spine. Ali felt her knickers dampen and she pressed harder against him. Remus smiled against her shoulder and slipped one finger inside her.

Remus moaned as he felt how wet she was and easily slipped another finger into her, causing her to straighten her legs and moan. Remus rolled her towards him and pulled down her jeans and underwear, forcing her legs open wider. He slipped three fingers into her and Ali closed her eyes and moaned as he began to pump them out with increasing pace. The wolf began to rise up in him and he tried to fight it back down but the screaming voice in his head couldn't be ignored. Mark her Remus, she's yours, make it known!

No! Remus' subconscious screamed back and her momentarily battled with himself before giving up and withdrawing his fingers. He didn't want to do that to Ali until he had spoken to her about it although he had an inkling of an idea about what her answer might be and that was one of the reasons why he adored her.

"Remus are you ok?" Ali said. Remus nodded and Ali pulled her underwear and jeans back up before curling up against Remus' warm body. He hesitantly put his arms around her but once he had he wondered if he would ever be able to take them off her.

Meanwhile, Sirius was tossing and turning in his sleep trying to fight the nightmare that was plaguing his sleep.

"Sirius, Kat's been hurt!" she screams.

What? I run after her into the street and see Kat, my Kat, curled up and broken in the street, muggle paramedics trying to get her onto some sort of portable bed.

"Kat!"

Sirius sat up dead straight, his body covered in sweat and his shoulder shaking. Kat sighed and Sirius turned to see her happily curled up amongst the pillows. He sighed with relief and placed a gentle kiss on her temple which brought her to the land of the living.

"Hey baby, are you ok?" Kat whispered.

"I had a nightmare but I was fine when I woke up and saw you" Sirius mumbled with a smile. Kat giggled against the pillow and Sirius moaned softly at how wonderful her laugh sounded. He laid back down and tipped her head back to meet his and kissed her briefly but Kat gripped Sirius' waist and deepened the kiss.

"Oh Miss Smith, I can't wait until we're married" Sirius moaned. Kat giggled and Sirius moaned again, his lips still partly on hers.

"Neither can I Mr Black" Kat sighed. Sirius traced his finger down her jaw line and followed it with a line of feather-like kisses.

Meanwhile, Remus and Ali were sat on the couch kissing gently when Ali noticed a picture on the mantelpiece she had not seen before. She pulled away and crossed over to it. Three people smiled, a man who had his arm wrapped around the woman's shoulder and in her arms was a baby.

"My parents and me" Remus said, placing her hands gently on her shoulder. Ali smiled as she leant her head back on his chest, his lips briefly meeting hers.

"What about you baby? What's your family like?"

Ali smiled before guiding him back to the couch.

"Are you ready? Because I'm part of a long story" she said.
