Chapter Eleven: Sirius Feels Guilty
Sorry I didn't update. It had been brought to my attention that everything I had posted after a certain date was all coding for some reason, and I didn't want to add to the problem. Then I ended up forgetting about it. I feel really bad, so I'm going to get on a more regular update schedule. It'll work this time, I'm sure.
Lily glared at Sirius. She was tired of him floating around her headboard, especially seeing as she was almost cleared to go back home.
"You sure you don't need me to do anything Lily?"
"I need you to clear out before I strangle you Sirius. I'm fine."
"You sure?"
Lily reached for her wand on the counter, when the Healer walked back in.
"The last test came back negative. You're perfectly fine."
Lily calmed down slightly.
"Better safe than sorry, am I right?"
Lily nearly leapt out of bed and glared at Sirius.
"I told you it was just a routine check-up. Nothing special. In any case, I'm supposed to meet James back at Hogsmeade to take the Floo back to London anyway. I was going to stop in on Remus and you anyway."
Sirius grabbed Lily's arm and they Apparated back outside of the cottage he shared with Remus.
As they went to go in, Remus and James exited, James running to greet Lily with a passionate kiss, Remus a statelier, but nevertheless angry, stride. Sirius knew he was about to get yelled at, so he tried to head him off.
"Now Moony-,"
"DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW WORRIED I WAS, YOU TAKING OFF INTO THE BLUE LIKE THAT?"
"But-"
"NO BUTS PADFOOT! YOU COULD AT LEAST STOP TO EXPLAIN THE SITUATION BEFORE TEARING OFF!"
"I was worried about Lily!"
Remus slapped Sirius.
"YOU IDIOT! IF THERE WAS ANYTHING TO BE WORRIED ABOUT JAMES WOULD HAVE BEEN THERE!"
"Oh…. I didn't think."
"Well that much is clear isn't it?"
Remus smiled at Sirius's guilty face.
"Oh come here you big idiot."
Remus pulled his husband into a kiss.

Sirius looked around the shop in Hogsmeade. He wanted to buy a gift for Remus to apologize. He examined one of the shelves, and noticed, tucked away, a flash of silver and gold. Perfect.

As Remus went into the kitchen ready to make breakfast for Sirius, seeing as he didn't get up before ten on most days, he caught sight of a small black box on the counter. Remus looked at it. It had a small scrap of parchment with Sirius's messy handwriting attached to the front.
"To Moony, with love, From Your Idiot."
Remus smiled and opened the box. A delicately designed locket sat nestled in fabric. Remus was already entranced by it. It was silver with gold in a stylized vine surrounding it. He carefully looked in. There was another note from Sirius.
"This as you've probably guessed is a locket. It's enchanted like my and James's mirror. The picture of me inside is linked up to another locket I have. That way you can talk to me whenever. Just say my name into the locket, and you'll be able to see and talk to me."
Remus looked at the silver locket. Beautiful and functional. He knew this was an attempt at apology, but it was a damned good one, and Remus was willing to accept.
He hung the locket around his neck, intending to keep his Padfoot with him always.
Ah these nerds! I'm going to put up another chapter very soon, so that there plenty of new story for you to enjoy.
If you have any suggestions please put it in that nice little review section, and I'll definitely get back to you, and credit you.
See you soon!
