Chapter Twenty Two - The Secret Keeper
Before Madison even had time to let this sink in Sirius had said, "Of course I'll do it."
Madison suddenly felt faint, she could see her perfect new life with Sirius crumbling around her. Instead a new picture filled her head, the picture of her and Sirius having to live in a grotty little basement hiding from Voldemort...then another picture pushed it's way across Madison's mind, Sirius laying on the floor, motionless. Voldemort rising above him hissing, "Well Madison you see what happens to people who do not cooperate...I eliminate them...and your next!" this was followed by high cruel laughter.
Madison shivered and forced this thought away. James and Lily were now beaming at Sirius, and Sirius back at them. Then Madison spoke up in a small voice,
"Sirius...don't you think you should maybe...think it over a bit?"
"What is there to think about?" said Sirius, turning to Madison.
"Well...this is going to affect your life...my life...everything." said Madison, her voice rising slightly.
"What? Do you want me to say no? And let Voldemort kill Lily and James?" said Sirius frowning.
"No Sirius, of course not." said Madison trying to keep her voice even, "But we're getting married you know and you can't just go making huge desicions like this that are going to affect both of our lives."
"Why would affect both our lives? As I see it, it's going to affect me not you. It's not like were going to living together." said Sirius, but even as the last word left his mouth his face fell.
Madison swayed slightly. How could he be saying this? This wasn't right. Hadn't he planned they live together after the left Hogwarts as well? Sirius was saying something now, but Madison couldn't hear, there was a horrible rushing filling her ears, as though she were falling. She could feel a tear trickling down her cheek. She took a sharp breath in then said,
"Well Sirius...you obivously don't want what I do..." she tugged at the ring on her finger, "Maybe you should have this back." Madison dropped the ring into Sirius's palm, and brushing fruitlessley at the tears on her cheeks strode away back to the castle.

Madison lay on her bed hours later, tears still pouring from her now puffy eyes. She was wearing a pair of blue and white stripy pyjama bottoms and white t-shirt and was curled up in bed, surrounded by 5 boxes of used tissues.
After a particularly loud sob, Madison heard the dormitory door open. A few hours earlier she would have screamed about wanting to be left alone, but she felt she couldn't muster the strength to anything but sniff or cry.
"Madi, can I talk to you?" said Magsy's voice.
"I-don't-want-to-talk-now," hiccoughed Madison taking a fresh tissue from a box and wiping her eyes. Suddenlly light flooded Madison's bed as Magsy opened the curtains of her four poster.
"Come on, babe." cooed Magsy, making Madison sit up and pushing hair from Madison's face.
"I brought you a present," said Magsy smiling, "I know you're going to love it, you already do..."
"Magsy if it's your FCUK denim skirt-" began Madison, but she stopped as Sirius appeared out of no where.
"I'll leave you alone..." said Magsy smiling at Madison then Sirius and walking from the dormitory.
"Can I sit down?" said Sirius looking awkward and scratching his head.
"No!" yelled Madison grabbing the box of tissues from her bed and hurling them at Sirius, they hit him in the eye.
"Oh God Madison!!" he shouted, dropping a silvery kind of cloak he as holding and jumping around clutching his eye.
"Oh Sirius! I'm sorry! I didn't mean to hit you!! I didn't think I could!!" cried Madison, running around the room trying to catch Sirius, "Sirius! Sit down-not there-here. Yeah there."
"I come to win you back and you assualt me with a box of tissues, nice Madison. Really nice." said Sirius still holding his face.
"I'm so sorry...you know how bad my aim is...I really thought they'd miss...or you'd at least duck!" said Madison, allowing her self a small smile. She then kissed him on the cheek, "I know it doesn't make up for blinding you...but I forgive you..." Sirius smiled, "Let me see..." Madison slowly moved Sirius's hand away, to reveal one perfect un-blinded, dark eye. "
"Sirius you're not hurt at all!" Madison yelled, "Right, I un-forgive you right now!"
"You can't," said Sirius happily, "You already said it, I already accepted it!!"
"I can't believe you." said Madison, though she was smiling.
Sirius touched her cheek, then leaned over and kissed her. Madison's heart jumped as it always did when Sirius so much as looked her way, she pushed her arms around his neck and let his familar soft dark hair fall through her fingers.
"Wait..." said Madison pushing him away, "What about the matter of us living together...do you not want to?"
"Of course I do," said Sirius, vaguely, as he pushed his hand up the inside of her t-shirt and kissed her neck.
"Sirius, stop I need to know...how you feel." insisted Madison, pulling his hand away.
Sirius sat up and looked her straight in the eyes, "You want to know how I feel?" he said quietly, "I feel scared, Madison, I'm scared."
"How can you be scared? You're never frightened of anything." said Madison, frowning slightly.
"I'm scared, I won't be able to buy you a nice place to live. I'm scared I won't be able to give you what you deserve...which is a lot more that me-"
"-Sirius," said Madison placing a hand over his mouth, "I love you, and you know...who cares where we live, as long as we live there together." She leant over and kissed him, smiling. He smiled back.
"I think you lost something..." said Sirius, reaching inside his robes and pulling out Madison's ring. She held out her hand and he slipped it on.
Sirius leant over and kissed her again and Madison took his tie and pulled him down onto her bed full of tissues, and Madison knew as Sirius drew the hangings around her bed, her perfect life with Sirius was just around the corner once more.
