Halloween
Electra woke up with the worst hang over of her life, and she couldn't even remember drinking anything; infact she couldn't even remember anything after the staff meeting and her brother telling her he would see her later. She rolled over feeling quite annoyed with herself but had turned back over because the top of her left leg was so sore; she rubbed it thinking that she must have knocked into something without realising.
She throw the covers back and got out of bed, she sat up on the edge of the bed wondering what on earth had she done last night because she just couldn't remember; but she was so sore. She sat there for a couple of minutes before she got up and went for a shower to try and make her self feel better.
When Electra had finally finished and she felt a little better and clean now, she got dressed and them went down to the kitchen's because she had already missed breakfast and was very glad that the first lesson was free. She took her toast up to the class where Remus was already sat at his desk when she went in, and Harry and his friends were sat on the desks.
Remus looked up at her he didn't look at all happy with her as she walked over to him.
"What the hell happened to you last night, I couldn't find you anywhere?" Remus demanded.
"Remus please." Electra said.
"Electra you're my sister and I love you, but if you're not going to take this job seriously then you should just go back to the Ministry." Remus told her.
"Remus please...I...I'm sorry I don't know what's come over me." Electra tried to explain. "Ever since I started here, I just haven't been myself. I'll go and see Madam Pomfery to see if she can give me something." Electra rubbed her side and leg. "Though I'm just going to sit down if you don't mind, what ever I did last night it must if hurt like hell; well it does now anyway."
"What are you talking about?" Remus asked her looking up from his work again. "You're having those black outs again."
"There not black outs, well...I don't know what they are." Electra said, with them all staring at her. "Last night what happened after you left my office, you know after the staff meeting; because I just can't remember?"
Remus was looking quite concerned now as he got up and walked round to the other side of his desk. "Electra, are you being serious that you can't remember?"
"Yeah, I know it sounds strange but I just can't." Electra answered. "I should go to see Madam Pomfery, she said something about the sleeping potion I had been taking...but I can't even remember taking them."
Remus just stared at her, as if trying to figure out what was wrong with her. "Go up now; we'll feel better when we know what's wrong."
Electra nodded and left the class and went up stairs, leaving Remus to worry and pace up and down his classroom while Harry and his friends tried to calm him down. Electra went up to the Hospital Wing and talked to Madam Pomfery about what was wrong with her, but she was at a bit of a loose liked everyone else was.
"I'm not sure my dear, the only thing I can tell you to do is take it easy in your condition of course; but with everything else I'm just not sure." Madam Pomfery told her. "Have you told the father yet?"
"No, he's coming for the Halloween Ball I'm going to tell him there." Electra said slightly smiling. "And that is of course if I can stay awake for it."
"Have you told Remus?" Madam Pomfery asked.
"No, he's worried enough about me already I don't need him fusing over me with this as well." Electra told her. "Anyway he'll find out the same night, I'm sure."
"Ok then take care, or I'll be making sure that he'll be watching over you all the time." Madam Pomfery told her smiling.
Electra smiled back before she left, she went back down to the class. She was very glad that classes had already started so she didn't need to go through it all again, well not just yet anyway.
***
Over the next week or so, Electra had a couple more iffy nights that she couldn't remember to save her life; she was getting more and more worried about what was wrong with her. She couldn't wait for Sirius to arrive at the school, because she always felt alright and safe around him; and she needed that now more then ever.
Sirius arrived Friday afternoon he wanted to make the most out of the weekend, so he got Remus to take the afternoon off so they could go down into Hogsmende; Electra didn't mind taking over the classes while they had a bit of fun they did desire it after everything they had been through.
They arrived back late, Remus was still sober but Sirius had had just a little too much to drink. Electra could hear him on the floor above and went down to meet them. As soon as Sirius saw Electra he smiled at her and bushed Remus off and clumsily walked over to her.
"Electra, the most beautiful creature in the world." Sirius said loudly, and almost fell into her arms. "Your mine and no one else's; come on let's go back to your room and have some fun."
Severus walked up behind them, also came up to see what all the noise was about and wasn't at all surprised to see it was Sirius.
"You should know that you wouldn't stand a chance." Severus told him, as he pushed Sirius off of Electra. "And the creatures here are you two, wild untamed monsters."
"Severus that was out of line, I can handle this." Electra told him.
"Of course like you said that you could handle me." Severus whispered to her so that only she could hear.
She looked up at him and then stepped away from him, Sirius tried to walk again and fell into her; but she caught him and put her arm around him. She looked back at Severus one last time before she walked off with Sirius and Remus not far behind them.
"Do you need a hand with him?" Remus asked her once they got outside her room.
"I think I know what to do mate, but thanks." Sirius said hitting him on the shoulder.
"I'll be fine thanks." Electra told him.
He nodded and waited until she had gotten him in her room before he went off to his own.
Electra managed to get him through to the bedroom which of course wasn't hard; the hard part was trying to stop him from taking off all of her clothes. She moved him around to his side of the bed and then just pushed him on it, she pulled his shoes off and his robes; and then he just rolled over pulling the covers over him.
"Come on get in, its nice and warm." Sirius told her. "I promise I won't be an animal, well unless that's what you want."
Electra smiled at him as she walked round to the other side, she got changed and then got in along side him. He moved over and touched her, but she moved away from him.
"What's wrong?" Sirius asked her.
"Nothing sorry." Electra said, but there was something; but she lied. "Just cold hands."
"Well they'll soon warm up come here." Sirius said playfully, and reached out for her again.
When he touched her it wasn't him she felt touching but it was like someone, she just wanted to get away, she felt so dirty as he touched. She closed his eyes as he moved so close and pulled her into him and he rested his head on her shoulder and wrapped his leg around hers.
Electra hardly slept she couldn't, the feeling just crawled at her al night as he lay there with her. It wasn't him, she could never feel like that with him; but she just ...she couldn't figure it out.
First thing in the morning as soon as she thought that she could get up she did, and went for a shower she needed a shower. She hadn't paid much attention to the mark on her leg until now, she took a closer look with a mirror; she couldn't believe what it said 'Malfoy' it was the crest of their family. She just sat there on the side of the bath tube for a moment trying to get her head around it. Then suddenly she jumped up and started to run the water, she got in and started to scrub every inch of her as hard as she could.
Sirius woke up about half an hour later because of the running water; she was still in the shower. He slowly got out of bed, and walked through to the bed taking in the time as he briefly looked at the clock on the side table, it was 08:14.
"Electra don't you think it's a little early for a shower, I was hoping that we could have a lay in together." Sirius said as he walked into the bathroom.
Electra was just getting out pulling her bathrobe around her, but he still saw the mark on her leg; she saw him staring at it and pulled her robe closely around her.
"What was that, did you burn yourself?" Sirius asked walking over to her.
"Yeah, just a little burn." Electra said, as he reached out for her but she moved away from him.
"What's up?" Sirius asked.
"Nothing, sorry." Electra said smiling and letting him take her in his arms.
"I'm glad that I'm back." Sirius told her and then stepped back. "I'm dancing with you tonight, and sitting with you. I don't care what they say."
This time it was Electra who hugged him. "Good, don't let me out of your sight; please."
"Of course." Sirius said smiling, not thinking anything of it.
Everyone was excited about the ball that night, they had all worked hard on their costumes; well the ones who wanted to make them themselves and others seemed to have spent quite a bit on them.
Electra had sorted out costumes for herself, Sirius and Remus. She was going as Arween out of the hit muggle movie Lord of the Rings and Sirius was going as Aragorn, he had wanted a sword to go with his outfit. He had told her what ever he's going to wear he wanted a sword, so she had come up with the prefect idea.
They both got dressed, Electra was taking her time sorting out her ears while Sirius was swinging the sword around. She came running through when she heard something smash.
"Sirius, try to contain yourself." Electra said smiling.
He smiled at her taking in everything about her, to him she looked even more beautiful then normal, well if that was possible. He returned the sword to his belt and then kissed her, as he stepped back he held out his hand.
"My Lady." Sirius said.
She gave him her hand and smiled, as he licked her arm; and they made their way down to the Great Hall. There was already quite a few students already down and in the Hall and a few couples lingering in the entrance hall, when they saw them walking down the stairs together they all started to whisper; obviously surprised to see them together.
Harry came up to them with Ron and Hermione, Harry was wearing a dinner suit he was going as James Bond. Ron and Hermione were going as Fred and Daphne.
"You two look great together." Harry told them smiling. "Brilliant costumes."
"Yeah their wonderful." Hermione agreed.
"Is that a real sword, can I have a go?" Ron asked excitedly.
Sirius was just pulling it out when Electra stopped him. "Yes, it's a real; and maybe another time. Sirius had already broken enough tonight, and I don't feel like taking all of you up to the Hospital Wing."
'Later' Sirius mouthed at them when she wasn't looking. "Right are we all going in?"
Sirius linked her arm again and they made their way down the stairs, with the three of them behind them. As they entered the Hall heads turned in their directions, but they just smiled and made their way up to the top table. The tables had been moved around; there were now loads of smaller tables dotted around and two smaller tables for the teachers.
Harry and his friends took their seats as Sirius pulled out the chair for Electra, they had seats on the main table with Dumbledore. They both sat down while Remus glared at Sirius.
"What do you think you're doing?" Remus asked him lending forward.
"What, I couldn't let a beautiful lady come in on her own now could I." Sirius said smiling.
"Quite right, quite right." Dumbledore said cheerfully. "It didn't really do any harm."
Soft music played all the way through the meal, and when it was over Dumbledore moved the tables back and a band appeared on the stage. The student's got up and started to dance, before anyone could say anything Sirius and Electra were already on the dance floor as well.
"I don't believe it." Remus said, as Dumbledore walked past with McGonagall.
He watched them dance around together, they both looked sp happy; then they stopped and Electra walked over to Remus and pulled him out of his chair and onto the dance floor.
"I think I'm aloud to dance with my big brother." Electra said smiling at him. "I don't say anything, who cares; just enjoy your self we all need it."
"Find just for today." Remus agreed smiling at her, and took the lead.
After a while Sirius came back over. "Come on Moony, I need to dance with My Lady."
"Well you've already dance with her once tonight; you can't keep her all to yourself." Severus said taking hold of her hand. "Just one dance, don't worry I'll have you back in one piece."
Electra didn't say anything, as she hoped that Sirius and Remus would say 'no'. But it never came.
"I guess one dance won't hurt." Sirius said reluctantly. "Just a little taster of something you'll never have."
"I wouldn't be so sure about that." Severus whispered to her as he lead her across the dance floor.
"I can't believe that I just let him do that, I think I've lost my mind." Sirius said to Remus as they watched him dance with her. "And why the hell as he gone to all that enough to try and look good, all those new robes and everything. You don't think that he thinks he'll be able to get off with her, do you?"
"Please, I don't need to think about that." Remus said, turning away from them for just a moment as did Sirius.
But it was a moment two long, because when they turned back they were both gone. They quickly walked across avoiding knocking into anyone as they made their way across the floor, and through the doors. They heard a muffled scream from somewhere and then it was gone. They both just looked at each other.

"Though I'm just going to sit down if you don't mind, what ever I did last night it must if hurt like hell; well it does now anyway."
"What are you talking about?" Remus asked her looking up from his work again. "You're having those black outs again."

Electra smiled back before she left, she went back down to the class. She was very glad that classes had already started so she didn't need to go through it all again, well not just yet anyway.
