How could Sirius Black possibly be here, standing next to Bailey. She
didn't even know that he was out of prison. She thought that he had a life
sentence. What was he doing here. Why hadn't he tried to get a hold of her.
Why hadn't Remus told her.
All these questions were flooding Baileys mind as she lay on the ground half conscious and half un-conscious.
"Are you alright." Sirius said while he was holding her head off of the ground. He was deeply concerned.
"Why hadn't anyone told me? Remus." Bailey asked.
"I honestly didn't know if you wanted to know. So I didn't tell you." Remus said as he kept looking down the streets and hopping that no one saw what was going on at the end of the road in Hogsmeade.
"Bailey I don't mean to be rude, but we have to go somewhere. This place is far to in the open for me." Sirius said, looking around, getting a little frizzled.
Sirius didn't look the same, he wasn't excited and energetic as he had once been. But he did just get out of Azkaban, so Bailey was sure that did a number on him physically and mentally. Bailey looked at him for a minute, she wanted to cry, this was the man that she loved and he was her daughters father.
"Alright, where do you wish to go." Bailey asked.
"To Remus' flat. That is where I have been hiding. Don't you think it is kind of obvious, but so far no one has come looking for me there." Sirius said with a tiny smile, but it could have just been a twitch.
Remus disappeared with a pop! And so did Bailey and Sirius.
Remus' flat was nice, lots of artifacts that he had collected over the years. Remus was definitely the neat freak of the marauders.
Bailey had to hold a laugh in when she saw a picture of Lily, James, Sirius, Remus and herself throwing snowballs at one another, for it was a magical photo so it continued to move.
"Do you want something to drink?" Remus asked Bailey.
"Anything with alcohol in it. After tonight I think I need to start smoking to." She sighed. She looked at Sirius. 'Why aren't you talking to me? Why don't you want to know what I have been up to? Why are you just sitting there you coward? Talk to me.' Bailey thought.
"So how have you been, Bailey." Remus asked as if he could read her mind.
"I married the world's boringest dentist, had a daughter, and became a boring dentist. And today I ran away to see, you" And she turned and looked at Remus. He looked so tired, he hadn't changed much. When they were in Hogwarts he was always the same way, what with being a werewolf and all.
"Marvelous. Is the muggle police going to be looking for you, because they know what I look like to, and I really don't want to go back to.. to.. that place." Sirius said as he stared at the wall, the wall in which the snowball fight picture was on.
"No I told him I needed to get out, but I don't think I will be going back there. I am going to get a divorce that is what I wanted to talk to Remus about, is to see if I could stay with him, but I can see that I would only be a burden. So I will just go to... a motel." Bailey said. Sirius just wasn't Sirius anymore. He should have been cracking some joke right about now, but he was just staring at the picture on the wall.
"I don't think so. You can stay here. And take care of Sirius, I have to find a job or else I won't be able to keep this place." Remus looked around himself, he liked it there. He had his own attic, and a basement, he liked it a lot.
"I will pay you and make the meals. Thank you so much Remus. This means a lot to me." She hugged Remus.
Bailey sat next to Sirius, who in turn put his arm around her lovingly. He still loved her, he just wasn't sure if she still loved him.
"How have you been, Sirius." Bailey whispered quietly into his ear.
"I have been fine, I got to see Harry, he is his fathers son. He looks just like James except that he has Lily's eyes. He is exactly what I would want in a son, smart, and picks good friends. Though sometimes I try to figure out what his girl friend, Hermione, is his friend for. She seems really Lily-ish. Always figuring out all the problems and things like that. Ron, he is a good kid, though he had got the hugest crush on Hermione. Its all quite funny." Sirius said.
"Hermione is my daughter.." Bailey said.
"That's nice. What is your husband's name?" He asked.
"Mark. And he is not her father." She said. She figured now would be the best time as any to tell you or at least hint to him that he had a daughter.
"What do you mean he is not her father. Bailey you were never slutty, but then again I haven't seen you in quite a long time." Sirius said Looking at her.
"Sirius how old do you think Hermione is?" Sirius thought for a moment.
"around fourteen, I suppose." He said.
"Yes and how old is Harry."
"Around Fourteen almost fifteen." Bailey was looking at Sirius willing him to think and do the math, Hermione was conceived on when he was still her one and only. But Remus had to give him a little help.
"Are you daft, Sirius. Think about it." Remus said as he handed Bailey her stiff drink.
"Are you saying that she is my daughter!" Sirius said after about a minute of thinking time.
"Yes that is exactly what I am saying. Hermione is our daughter. But I am much afraid that she does not act like me and she does not act like you. She acts like Mark and I hate that." Bailey said. Sirius just kind of smiled at her, a real smile.
"Why didn't you ever tell me that you were pregnant?" Sirius asked.
"I didn't want to take the spot light off of James and Lily, they deserved to be the center of attention." She said.
"If you weren't so blind mate you would have noticed. It was quite obvious." Remus said. "Don't you recall asking me why she kept going to the bathroom?" Remus asked. Bailey laughed; she remembered how Hermione always seemed to think that her bladder was a punching beg.
"Yeah, but I don't know I just never even thought. Man..." He hugged Bailey. "I have a daughter." And Sirius got up and started to jump around the room. "I have a daughter, I have a daughter. What is her middle name?" Sirius asked.
"Ann.. the same as mine and Lily.. you should know that." Bailey said.
"There is a hogsmeade weekend this week perhaps we can go and tell her." Sirius said.
"She doesn't even know that I am a witch. She thinks she is muggle- born." Sirius stopped smiling. His own daughter thinks that she is muggle- born.
"HA.. I can't believe that you gave up every thing just to raise a normal daughter hoping that she wouldn't be a witch. We are both pure- bloods how did you not think that she wouldn't be a witch." Sirius asked.
"I was just trying to protect her." Was all Bailey said, and she downed her stiff drink in about a second.
All these questions were flooding Baileys mind as she lay on the ground half conscious and half un-conscious.
"Are you alright." Sirius said while he was holding her head off of the ground. He was deeply concerned.
"Why hadn't anyone told me? Remus." Bailey asked.
