Kiki's POV
As Sirius and I walked toward the village, he gently reached over and put his arm around my waist.
"So are you going to tell me about this Harry guy, or will I need to ask Lily," he whispered.
I pulled away and hastily said, "It's nothing."
Sirius, unconvinced, continued walking for a second, then he said,"How come I recognize his name?"
I sighed and said, "I don't know," Sirius looked at me expectantly. I knew that face, it's the one that he gets whenever he is being stubborn and won't relent until he gets what he wants. "Harry...Harry is...I guess you could call him my ex." I relented.
"OH!" Sirius exclaimed suddenly. "Now I remember why I recognize his name! But, oh..." Sirius trailed off, remembering what had transpired the first year I had come to Hogwarts.
Harry and I had been best friends since the first day I had come to Hogwarts. He was kind, funny, and to be honest, a total nerd. Then out of the blue, he had asked me to the Fall Ball. After that, we acted like a couple, and everything was fine for about two years. But then he fell in love with a different girl and we had an argument. He told me he never wanted to see or talk to me again. That would be the end of it, except he has been reaching out to me in small ways in the past two years, even inviting me to come to a game that he and the rest of our mutual friends were going to. "And now he is moving in right next to me," I explained to Sirius.
"I remember being furious with him for asking you to the dance before I could," Sirius admitted.
"Wait, really?" I did a double take.
Sirius laughed, "Yeah, no joke. Harry and James were friends, but he never wanted to be a marauder. He was more interested in his astrology studies than he was with...our experiments."
"You mean your animagi?" I raised an eyebrow.
"What?! How do you know about that?" Sirius stopped and turned to me.
"Oh please, you boys really thought that you were the only ones breaking the rules? Lily and I found out long ago. We even went through the process ourselves." I admitted.
"Wait, you two are animagi? What do you turn into?" Sirius looked incredulous.
"Well, Lils turns into a doe of course, and I..." I demonstrated my own transformation into a white wolf for him, clothing and all.
Sirius just looked at me, and shook his head. "You two are just full of surprises," he laughed.
"I uh...also know about Remus as well," I admitted. "Lily told me after our little trip to Diagon Alley."
"You aren't scared?"
"Why would I be scared? He's harmless as a human, and if he ever transforms around me, I can run faster than any werewolf in my animagus. Besides, I trust you and James (more or less) and I know you would never put me in harm's way."
"Well, I am honored," Sirius smiled. "So what do you plan on doing about Harry?"
"I don't know. Be cordial, treat him like an acquaintance. If he wants to be friends again, I'm fine with that, but I'm not going to be the one to make that move," I said stubbornly.
"You know I've gotta ask. Do you still like him?" Sirius looked at me with concern.
I smiled and continued walking. His face became more and more worried as we walked, and finally I started laughing. "What's this? Sirius Black afraid of a little competition. I never thought I'd see the day. Haha, don't worry, Love. You've got nothing to be afraid of."
"Well, he should be careful. I'm a very protective boyfriend you know, and I'm stronger than he is, too," Sirius replied.
"Oh you are, are you?" I laughed and pushed him playfully in the side. We reached the village and went off to find my favorite store.
