Until we meet again
I have never thought I will ever see her again, but fate seems really kind to me this time...
Chapter 14 Serious thinking now
They did sing again that night. Eve sang her favourite song "I have nothing", which almost pulled down the whole building by the applauses. To everyone's surprise, Bertha went for "Can't fight the moonlight", which was kind of shocking, as she normally went for stronger and up-beat songs like "I'm Outta Love". Finally, the three of them joined again for the last song of that night, "Come together", which rocked the room. Everyone had a really good evening
It was a wonderful trip, and good time passed quickly. It was time they went back to UK.
Sirius had become friends with Bertha, and promised to keep contact by owl mail.
Life was back to normal, Sirius still worked with Arthur in the ministry. The kids, Severus, Remus and Eve went back to Hogwarts.
Sirius wrote at least once a week to Bertha, and got reply once a week from Bertha too. It was going on well, but Sirius was getting restless about how to let Bertha knew his feelings for her, especially with the secret that he was Doggy. Therefore, on a Friday night in May, he paid a visit to Hogwarts.
As Harry once told him that Severus' fire place was connected with the floo network, so he throw some floo powder into the fire place, and saw the flames turned green. Then he said, "Severus' chambers in Hogwarts", and stepped into the fire.
************
He was thinking that maybe setting the destination as Severus' chambers was not really a good idea, as he shocked the hell out of Eve, who was with Severus in his chambers, having a candlelight dinner. Now he was sitting in a chair in Severus' chamber, "listening" to Eve screaming at him.
"Sirius, are you crazy?! You almost freaked me off with that. Why don't you send a letter or note first?! It's my birthday today!!!" Severus just sat there, and glared at him.
"Happy birthday first. I am really sorry it, but I need to ask you something now, or else, I don't know what to do. Well... it's about Bertha."
Eve sat down. "Go on."
"It's... Eve, can I talk to you alone?" He was looking at Severus.
"Severus..." Eve looked at him.
"I am staying, or you can come back another time. It's my chamber." He smirked.
"Alright, Remus knew about it already anyway." He looked at Eve. "I am not sure if Harry had told you I am an Animagus?"
"No."
"Please don't scream or faint for whatever you are going to see, okay?" He transformed into dog form.
Eve couldn't believe what was in front of her. Doggy? Sirius? Oh bloody... She couldn't believe it.
"Eve, what is it?" Severus asked, as Eve couldn't really answer him, just pointing at Sirius, who had already changed back into human form. A few seconds later, she was still under the shock, but able to utter unsucessfully. "Bertha's dog... disappeared... Doggy... Sirius... "
Severus immediately picked up what she was trying to say. "So, Bertha's Doggy was you?! That's the reason why you find Eve so familiar."
"Yes, and I don't know how to tell Bertha that I... am Doggy, especially..." Sirius took in a deep breath, "it seems like I had fell for her ever since I met her three years ago. Sigh." He just relaxed in the chair, relieved that he finally finished what he tried to say.
Eve, who finally calmed down, asked him, "You sure about this? That you love her?"
"Pretty sure since I talked to Remus. He actually said, 'You are a total idiot, even Severus is cleverer and franker to himself than you are.' Man, I was still in the war at that time, how am I supposed to think about that?" He covered his face with his hands.
Eve looked at Severus, who was also rolling his eyes thinking, "Idiot."
"Sirius, if you are sure you love her... don't rush to tell her the truth, especially with you being Doggy." Sirius looked at her. "You were there with her for two months, you know how she is like, and she hasn't change much since. She still acts like a child in many ways, and, let me say this, she is as dumb as you sometimes. Even the answer is right in front of her, she won't try to understand, because she always says, 'Whatever.', and leave it. And you know her temper... that's a big problem for you, if you get her angry..."
"What should I do then?"
"Just slow down everything. Keep writing to her, and I will try to see what she feels for you. Just wait for my message. Okay?"
"Fine."
"Well, Black, would you be so kind to leave us alone now?"
"Of course. Bye." He stepped into the fire without noticing that he hadn't thrown in floo powder...
