Chapter 5-What he dreads the most.

Footsteps. Heavy, slow, footsteps. As soon as he heard them Sirius' heart leapt up in to his throat. Where are they coming from?!-I guess I'd better investigate. . . Heh, it's probably just James or something. The only problem was there was a nagging little voice in his head that kept telling him he was wrong, that it wasn't James. He crawled out of bed, opened the door and stepped into the hall. He strained to hear the footsteps again and heard them, but couldn't decide where they were coming from.

He walked down the hall to his right, toward Remus and Suki's rooms and peeked in each door. Both times he found the person in their bed fast asleep. Shivering, he turned around and walked up to Marie's door and opened the door gently to check on her, she was sleeping peacefully. Then he heard them, loud and clear. The footsteps were above him, up near James, Lily, and Harry's rooms. Walking up the second short flight of stairs he peeked into Lil and Jamie's room. They were fast asleep, Lily curled up to James' chest, and James had his arms around her. Closing the door he walked across the hall to Harry's room and looked in, Harry was also fast asleep.

If their all asleep, then who the hell is in the house?! Heart pounding, Sirius walked down the hall that went down to the other side of the house. He walked past the library, James' study (not that he ever used it), a closet, and the music room. The whole time the footsteps had been getting louder and Louder and LOUDER! Sirius was beginning to think that the person had an invisibility cloak or something. It sounded like the person was only about five feet ahead of him, he stretched out his hand in front of him and held his wand at ready in the other. All of a sudden the steps were behind him and stopped. There was no sound. Not the drip of water. Or the sound of the wind. Then he felt it. Two cold hands clasped his throat, he screamed and then-

Sirius sat bolt upright in bed. Someone was shaking him, telling him to wakeup. His vision cleared and he saw Remus and Suki sitting on either side of him on his bed. Suki was holding him by the shoulders and Remus was trying to control his arms. They both looked concerned, and Suki was extremely pale. (so was Remus, but that's normal.)

"S-Sirius? Are you all right? I was taking care of Marie, she had woken up and started crying, when I heard you scream. You must have been having a pretty bad nightmare to have screamed like that." Suki said all this while brushing the hair from his face.

Sirius smiled to himself. Suki would make a good mum. She acts like one. She won't stop talking and let me tell her what's wrong! Here he started to laugh and both Suki and Remus looked at him like he'd gone insane.

"May I ask what's so funny?" Remus asked raising an eyebrow.

"Nothing." said Sirius sobering. "I was just thinking that Suki would make a good mum, she never shuts up long enough to find out what's wrong. She just keeps babbling about different things that could be wrong! Not that that's a bad thing!" he added hastily seeing the look Suki was giving him. "MY mum used to do the same thing." He said quietly. He sighed "I suppose you want to know what my dream was about?"

"If you want to tell us. You don't have to."

"I'd rather not. Maybe tomorrow morning. Later this morning actually. Some time after sun-rise if that's possible. Until then could we talk about something else?"

"Sure." Said a voice from the doorway. The voice turned out to be James, who was followed by Harry and Lily, who was holding Marie. "Why don't we talk about what you wore to that party at Amber and Suki's parents house in third year." James finished with an evil grin.

"But James, If we tell you I won't have anything to blackmail him with!" Remus pouted.

"Don't worry Moony! We'll find something! But you have to tell us! The suspense is killing us!" Harry said getting down on his hands and knees "Please?" he said giving Remus puppy eyes.

Remus smirked "You need to work on your puppy eyes, Padfoot can probably help you there, but I'll tell you anyway." Sirius groaned and buried his head in the pillows "Ok, this all starts Christmas holiday of our third year, Lils, Prongs, and Wormtail stayed at Hogwarts and Padfoot, Suki, and I were on the Hogwarts express on our way to meet her parents. Amber was sitting with some of her friends elsewhere."

=Flashback=

"Ha! I won again Sirius!" said 13 year old Suki. She, Remus, and Sirius were playing strip poker. (A/N: cough) Remus was smart enough to know when to get out, however, Sirius wasn't. He was down to his jeans and boxers, and had just lost his jeans. To Remus and Suki's amusement, he was wearing leopard print silk boxers. Remus leaned over and whispered something to her which she found extremely funny.

"Ok, Sirius, We've come to an agreement. If you lose the next hand, instead of taking your er….clothes OFF you will be putting them back on and dropping out of the game. You will ALSO," she continued just as Sirius started to look relieved "Be wearing a costume to my parents party. That Remus and I will pick out."

Sirius groaned and put his head in his hands. "And if I win?"

"As unlikely as that is," she receives a glare from Sirius "If you win you can put your clothes back on and keep your dignity."

Sirius takes a deep breath "Ok, then, here's to hoping I win!"

After being completely whipped in their match, Sirius put his clothes back on and sulked in the corner. Meanwhile, Suki and Remus held a whispered conversation all the way back to platform 9&3/4. Upon arriving the three of them dragged their trunks and pets off the train and began to look for their ride. They received stares because of the amount of animals they were carrying. Suki had a cat and an owl, Remus had an owl, and Sirius had a cat, an owl, a snake, and a ferret that he said looked remarkably like Malfoy. About five minutes later they spotted Suki's parents talking to Amber.

"She could've told us she had found them." Suki huffed stalking toward her sister and parents. "Hey! Amber! Why didn't you tell us you had found Mum and Dad?!" she shouted just as soon as she was sure they would hear her.

"Eh? I thought you knew where they were," Amber replied "And besides, all you had to do was send your owl to find them."

Suki huffed, grabbed a trolley and threw her stuff onto it. Then she followed her parents out to the muggle platform and over to their car. She could hear the others clattering along behind her. After throwing their stuff in the magically expanded trunk, they all piled into the back seat and Suki's Dad drove off. About an hour later they reached their destination, the Alexander Homestead. It was more of a mansion than a homestead, but they liked the name so they left it the way it was. After about 30 minutes of dragging trunks and animals into the house (whether the animals wanted to go or not.) Mrs. Alexander told them that they should get ready for the party. Two grinning 13 year olds dragged a groaning one up the stairs and into one of the rooms.

At quarter to 8 the guests started to arrive and at 8:15pm Suki and Remus descended the stairs, Suki was wearing a black dress with a gold chinese dragon curving up it, Remus was wearing a white turtleneck and black dress pants. And then Sirius came down. As soon as everyone saw him they burst out laughing. He was wearing-
