Still no more reviews! Ok, it's ok, I'm writing this for the fun of it, not for reviews, yet a few more would be nice! In the present, again!
The meeting had finished, just now, and I hadn't the foggiest idea where Sirius had been, or what he had been doing whilst the meeting had been going on, but he wasn't there. It may sound strange but I missed him, it had only been a couple of hours at most but I missed him like a fish misses water.
So here I was, wandering the house, in search of my seemingly long lost love. Suddenly, two hands shot out from some unknown crevice and a husky voice at my ear sent shivers cascading down my spine. "I've been waiting for you." It uttered silikly, staggering backwards into an oversized linen cupboard.
As soon as I was released I turned, appreciating the form in front of me. "Siri, were you really waiting in a cupboard for me to walk past?" He nodded proudly, as if this were some huge achievement. "What if that wasn't me? What if you just kidnapped some stranger like Fred, or George, or Bill. Sirius what if it was Molly, she'd kill you." He laughed and wrapped his arms around my waist and snuggled into my chest. "I knew it was you, Rems, I know you too well. I could tell by your breathing, the footsteps, everything. It was one short of having a flashing sign floating above your head"
I hugged him back, relishing in the sweet surrender of this predicament. He leant up and kissed me, a timeless, ageless taste balancing so rewardingly between both of our tongues.
His careless hands roamed over my body, under my shirt. "Sirius, where are we going with this?" I whispered, parting our reddened lips for a mere moment. "All the way," He hissed back, just as desparate for contact as I was. As much as I wanted to give in I had to push him away "What about them, if they hear us." He rolled his eyes, as if I were an inpertinant child. "It's my house, you're my fiancée, they can leave if they want." I sighed and realised that his logic was pretty much infallible, and if he was prepared to deal with the consequences then whatever.
I staggered from the cupboard, shirt buttons done up wrong, hair a mess and a drunken look on my face. Not that I had any control over that though. After leaving the safety of the bannister (which had saved my life thrice on the trek downstairs) and migrating to the dining room, I was met with the icy hard glare of my peers and youngers. What had I done wrong? Alastair "Mad-Eye" Moody limped over and led me, by the arm, to the lounge, next door.
"Look, Lupin, we know about you and Black." I mentally slapped myself and resorted to playing dumb. "Wha-what, how?" I stammered. "We all wondered where you two disappeared to, so they had me look. Lupin, I'm not a homophobe, but there are some things I wish I could unsee." I blushed redder than I ever had before and wanted to just disapparate.
"Uh, I didn't think we were that subtle about it,I thought you all knew. Oh Merlin." I sighed, why couldn't Sirius be here, he can talk his way out of anything. I on the other hand had struggled to express myself at the best of times.
"Well we know now, we were just wondering if you would rather come out officially or pretend like nothing's happened, which I must warn you is nearly impossible with Fred and George in the house."
I groaned and nodded "Just let me tell Sirius" I sighed. Moody nodded and went and joined the others. Sirius stumbled in and grabbed my by the waist, kissing me wildly. "Siri, we have to tell them, everything. They know" I stated in a resigned voice. He froze and pulled my engagement ring from my mismatched shirt and took it off the cord. "You're going to want this on then." A grin wandered about my face, finally glittering in my eyes.
"Lets go" I tugged him through to the dining room, where everyone was waiting silently. Sirius tugged my arm around his waist and I kissed the top of his head. "Firstly...we're gay. Secondly, we're getting married. And thirdly, we want to adopt a child."
Wait, when did I agree that? Adopting would be great but right now. And why Nymphadora's hair was now brown and waved, an exact replica of Sirius's was anyone's guess.
I grabbed Sirius's shirt and towed him out of the room, and earshot. "What are you playing at? Siri, we're on the brink of war, in one of the most dangerous positions. And to put a child into that what are you thinking?" He beamed. "I'm thinking there is child out there without parents, maybe magical, maybe not, but this is the safest place. All the protection, Rems, come on."
"Oh and what if one of us dies, what then? And in case it skipped you attention. I'm. A. Werewolf. Hardly fantastic father material" He turned away "You don't, Merlin, I'm such an idiot." I hugged him desparately hard and kissed his forehead savouring the scent that was playing so delicately with my senses, melting my stone cold resolve into more of a reasonable one. "No, I do, I'm just trying to be realistic. Sirius the onething I want most in the world is a family with you but now just isn't the right time."
He sighed and walked off to another part of the house. Eventually I found myself following him to where he stood, gazing half heartedly at his family tree. Shaking my head, I joined him, wrapping an arm around his shoulders and kissing his cheek.
"Sirius, I think you need ot havea chat with your cousin. For one, when we announced we were gay her hair turned into your hair. Now whichever one of us that was for it's either going to be incest, or never going to happen. It's not that I don't like hre it's just I have you." He laughed briefly, though the accompanying grin didn't ever surface.
"Ok, I'll do it later, or tomorrow," Supressing a yawn, I nuzzled into his cheek. "It's a full moon tonight, you going to be there?"
"Wouldn't miss it for the world." He murmured, before kissing me deeply and winding his hands into my hair.
Merlin, I loved this man.
