Chapter 7: Sad Good-byes

"What were you thinking?" Sirius asked.  Jaci couldn't help but smile.

"Don't worry Sirius, he's fine.  He misses you and Remus both.  Now if you don't mind, I'm going to go and check on the wolfsbane potion."  She walked off, and Sirius glared after her.  In the end, he grinned and shook his head.

The next two weeks went by fast.  Jaci couldn't believe she was leaving in two days.  She woke to the sound of something cooking.  Quickly she changed and went to see who was cooking.  "Good morning, Jaci," Sirius said.  She smiled.

"Oh, so now you're talking to me again?" she asked plopping herself down in a chair.

"Yes, here.  I hope you enjoy it," he said handing her a plate with a stack of pancakes. 

"Thank you I will," she answered.

Soon it was night, and Sirius walked over to her.  "I wanted to ask you about—"  He looked down.

"Harry?" Jaci finished for him.  He nodded.

"How is he doing?"

Jaci sighed.  "He's doing pretty good, from what I saw, just lonely."

Sirius sighed, and shook his head.  "I wish I could get him out of there.  I really wish I could."  Jaci put a hand on his shoulder.

"I know, don't worry."  He nodded, then turned around and began walking to Remus.  "Well if you two don't mind, I'm going to bed."

They smiled.  "Good night Jaci," they said.

"Good night, Remus, Sirius."  She walked to her room.

The next day Jaci packed her things early in the morning.  She then rushed to make breakfast.  She stopped short and smiled at what greeted her in the kitchen, though.  Sirius and Remus were sitting at the table waiting for her, a big banner that said, 'Bye Jaci!' sat behind them.  They had breakfast, her favorite French toast, waiting for her.

"You two are too much, did you know that?"  She laughed when they nodded.  Before sitting down, she walked over to them, and kissed their cheeks.  They all sat and began eating.

In the afternoon, Jaci put all her things in the hallway.  Sirius looked over at her, and smiled.  "Where are you going now?"

"To Romania, to visit Ron's brother."

"Ron?  Ron Weasley?"

"Yes, I'm going to visit his older brother Charlie."

"Why may I ask?" Sirius asked winking at Jaci.  Jaci blushed.

"Because I'm considering a career like his, that is why."  Sirius laughed.

"Ok, I believe you," he said.  Now it was Jaci's turn to laugh.

"No, you don't."

"Yeah, I don't," he answered with a smirk.  They laughed, and Remus walked in.

"Jaci this letter just came for you."  He handed it to her.  Jaci took a seat next to Sirius on the couch, and opened it.

"Dear Jaci,

I know you're coming down to see me, and I'm overjoyed.

I couldn't believe it when Hagrid wrote to tell me so.

Here's where you need to apparate…

I will see you soon

Love, Charlie"

Jaci smiled as she closed the letter.  She sighed as she looked up at both Remus and Sirius.  "I speak with my heart when I say I don't want to leave.  I love staying here with you guys," Jaci said, wrapping her arms around both men.  They grinned.

"We're gonna Miss you too Jaci," Sirius said.  "So you better come and visit us.  Just not a full moon," Sirius commented.  Remus nodded.  Jaci smiled and kissed both their cheeks again.

"Well, I'd better get going.  I bet Charlie's waiting for me."  Jaci walked into the hallway, followed by Remus and Sirius.  She hugged both of them tightly.

"You had better come visit, I mean it, Jaci," Remus said, giving her a kiss on the cheek.  Sirius did the same.

"Ok, goodbye Remus, Sirius," she said.  She held her suitcase and disapparated with a pop.  Remus and Sirius sighed.  They were both going to miss her.
