The few days that Sirius promised to stay turned into a few weeks and
they were pure bliss for Reena and Sirius. They both had plenty of work
from LAV, but they were together. They couldn't leave the apartment, so
they spent their time indoors. They talked for hours and hours on end. One
evening they were looking through pictures Reena had taken at school and
when she moved to London. Sirius found a picture of Reena that had been
taken only a few weeks before he was arrested. He held it next to Reena's
face and compared the 2.
"Are you taking an anti-aging potion or something?" he asked playfully.
"No. You know I was never good at potions, especially complex ones. Why do you ask?"
"Look at this photo. I took it a little while before I was arrested. My point is, you hardly have aged compared to this picture. Haven't you ever noticed?"
"No, but you should be one to speak. Here's a picture of us on my birthday before you were taken away. You look almost identical to it. The picture is about 14 years old. What kind if charm did you cast?"
"I don't know, but it definitely seems really weird." * Harry was working on a Potions essay when he looked at his alarm clock. 12:15 am. He put down his quill and decided to open the first present of his 15th birthday. He took the plainly wrapped package from under his bed and opened it. He found a polished wood box and a card inside. He opened the hinged box to find about 2 dozen labeled jars. He then opened the card.
Dear Harry, Happy 15th birthday. Please forgive me if your gift does not seem very exciting. However, these are highly selective potion ingredients. Hogwarts students use only a few of these ingredients in their 7th year. I think you will find these useful if you need a to get yourself out of a scrape. If you potions master is anything like mine was, don't let him find out about these ingredients. Enjoy. ~Reena
Harry looked through the box, finding some ingredients he was sure Snape had mentioned in class. Other labels were completely foreign to him. Under all the jars, Harry found 2 thin books. One was "Selected Potions from Moste Ponte Potion". The other book interested Harry more. "Selective Potions and How to Have Fun With Them" gave about 500 ways to make potions for pranks. Harry smiled and though about how much fun he, Ron, and Hermione would have in the school year. * On August 4th, Reena and Sirius were eating dinner when harry to a piece of parchment and quill and gave it to Reena.
"Reens, I want you to plan our wedding. Decorations, guest lists, menus, I want you to have it just the way you want it," Sirius explained.
"Our wedding? I don't care if just signing legal documents. I don't want a fancy reception," Reena replied.
""Of course you do," Sirius contradicted. "You need something like this. Remember you had the preliminary sketched of your wedding dress at 18. Don't tell me at 33 you don't believe in this kind of stuff."
"I do believe in it. If we hadn't decided to keep it a secret, and someone had asked me, I would say I was your wife! Even if it wasn't on record," Reena truthfully told him.
"The first thing I do when I get cleared is find you. Then we're taking Harry away from the Dursley's, and find a church and make everything official. But who says I don't want a big, white wed . . ." Sirius was cut off by a hoarse voice.
"Snuffles? You have to get out of here."
Reena and Sirius looked up to find Remus in the apartment.
"I'm sorry Reena. I don't normally apparate into people's homes, but Snuffles, you've got to leave," he explained/apologized rapidly.
"What are you talking about Remus? Where do I have to go?" Sirius demanded.
"The aurors are making their way back to London. You have to go far away as soon as possible," Remus explained further, "You haven't got much time if you want to stay ahead of them."
Sirius bolted up and ran into the bedroom. He threw some of his things in a shopping bag and came back to Reena, giving her a look of agony.
"Go Sirius. You know you can't stay here if you don't want to be caught. It's only temporary. You'll be back soon," Reena said calmly.
Sirius looked at Reena for a long moment. Without warning, he picked up Reena and kissed her. For the briefest second, their souls seemed to melt into one another. In that second, they didn't care that Remus was watching, or that they didn't know when Sirius was coming back. All they knew was that they would be together. They couldn't explain how they knew, but they seemed to know it for certain. As Sirius put Reena down, he whispered "I love you."
Finally having the chance to respond to his parting words, she whispered back "I love you too."
Sirius and Remus disapparated without another word. Reena began taking deep, yet shaky, breaths. She curled up on the sofa, letting her head rest on her knees. A dam of tears broke and ran down her face. She didn't feel like crying, but the soft sobs continued. While Sirius was here, Reena thought, I let myself pretend that he was here for good. She had promised herself that she wasn't going to pretend, but it was so hard not to when her heart's deepest desire was be with Sirius. She continued sobbing until she fell asleep.
