Unexpected News CHAPTER 12
Disclaimer: I OWN NOTHING!!
Lily Potter woke up, and to put it bluntly, she felt bloody awful. She was sick to her stomach, her head felt like it was pounding, and she was so dizzy that she felt as if she stood up, she'd fall down.
"Hey love, how are you feeling?"
Lily looked up to see her husband in the doorway to their bedroom. He had a tray with what looked like a bowl of soup, a mug of hot tea and a cup of ice water.
"I feel like death actually, thank you for asking."
James smiled sympathetically. He didn't take offense to her snappish tone. He knew that Lily never got sick, so when the rare occasion came where she was sick, she was in a horrible mood.
"How about you eat some soup then."
Lily glared at her husband. She knew that she was being mean, she hardly cared at this point. She was a grown woman, granted, 18 wasn't completely grown in the muggle world that she was raised in, but in the wizarding world you were legally an adult at 17, so she was a bloody grown woman! Lily sighed, desperately wanting her mom, as she always made her feel better when she was sick.
'I'm ranting to myself about being a grown woman, yet I want my mom. Yep, I'm real grown alright.'
James stared at his wife, seeing her completely lost in thought.
"Uh…Lils?"
Lily turned her attention back to the black haired man in front of her.
"I don't want any soup James Potter! And if I did, I would go downstairs and make it myself, because lord knows you cant cook!"
James feigned hurt.
"I'm hurt Lils. I cooked this especially for you, and I will let you in on a little secret, my mother taught me how to make her famous chicken noodle soup when I was younger, so this is one of the few things that I can actually make really well."
To prove his point, he brought the soup over to his wife to let her smell the soup. Lily had to admit, it did smell heavenly.
"Fine, I'll eat it to make you happy!"
James put the soup down and left the room, smiling as he heard her sound of contentment. If there was one thing his mother knew how to do, it was make soup. Granted, she knew how to do a lot of other things, but making soup was one of her strongest points. Walking downstairs he wondered where Sirius was. Normally, well before the fight that was, he would have been there by now if he hadn't spent the night. He grabbed some floo powder and put his head in the fireplace.
"Puppies Palace!"
He shouted, and waited until the spinning stopped. Remus looked up and saw James' head in the fire and smiled.
"Hey Prongs, is everything okay? How's Lily feeling?"
James smiled at his lupine friend.
"She's okay, she's eating soup now. Where's Pads?"
Remus smiled another smile in relief, glad to hear that his friend was doing better.
"He's at work Prongs. Moody called him in earlier to go on special assignment."
James quirked an eyebrow.
"I wonder why he didn't call me in."
Remus shrugged.
"Don't know, want me to let him know to floo you when he gets back?"
James nodded.
"Yes Please."
"Will do, see you later Prongs."
"Bye Moony."
James pulled his head out of the fire and shook it, attempting to get all the soot out of his already massively messy hair. He also tried to shake the feeling that something was wrong, but it didn't work.
Sirius groaned, looking around him. He didn't like what he saw. Darkness, it actually reminded him of the dungeons at Hogwarts where they used to have potions class. Lying next to him still unconscious was Kingsley. He pushed on Kinglsey's shoulder and the black man started to wake up.
"Where are we?"
Sirius shrugged.
"I don't know. What's the last thing you remember?"
"Fighting about 25 death eaters by ourselves. When we get out of here, I'm going to kill Moody! He said it would be abandoned!"
Sirius nodded.
"I know. Guess he was wrong wasn't he?"
"Well well well, look whose here."
Sirius looked up and saw the one person he really didn't want to see…his brother.
"Regulus"
The younger Black smiled.
"Hello Sirius."
Kinglsey looked over at Sirius in confusion.
"Whose that Sirius?"
Sirius sighed.
"My brother."
Kingsley quirked an eyebrow.
"So why don't you ask him for help."
Both Black brothers snorted.
"Like I would help him."
"Why would he, he was the one who brought us here, weren't you little bro?"
Regulus smirked and nodded.
"Yes I was big brother, and for good reason too."
Sirius quirked an eyebrow.
"And what would this great reason be?"
Regulus pulled up his sleeve and touched the dark mark on his left arm with his wand.
"Because big brother, the dark lord has big plans for you."
Two days.
It had been two days since anyone had heard from Sirius or Kingsley. James and Remus were sitting in the Potter's living room, waiting for some word that their friend was still alive. Lily was currently at St. Mungos, getting a check up. She still wasn't feeling any better, to be honest, she felt worse. She didn't know if that was because of the worry she felt for Sirius, or if she was truly sick.
"I cant stand it Moony! I'm going crazy not knowing if he's alright!"
Remus nodded.
"I am too Prongs, but we're doing all we can. As soon as Lily gets back we'll all three go out and look again for him."
Before either man could say anything Lily walked in with a strange look on her face.
"Lils, what's wrong? What did the doctor say?"
Lily looked straight at her husband and said in a dazed voice.
"I'm pregnant."
James looked at his wife in shock.
"What!?"
Lily nodded.
"They did a DNA Spell and they found out who the father is as well."
James quirked an eyebrow.
"Sirius is the father."
TBC! See! It's not Harry. Don't worry, It's not going to be Buffy either. Give you a little hint, Harry still wont have a sibling. I will write the next chapter tonight and get it out to you as soon as possible! Please Review!
