The Family of Black

Sirius had finally fell asleep after hours of watching over Electra, Remus had gone to get something to eat with Harry and Severus was a asleep a couple of beds down; he knew that it hadn't been him but he still didn't want him to close.

Electra slowly opened her eyes, she wasn't sure where she was as she looked to her left and saw bed; her mind was still groggy and she was in pain. She didn't like laying on her back so she turned over, and smiled to herself. Sirius was sat there with his head forward asleep.

"Sirius." Electra whispered he moved in his seat but didn't wake up; she smiled again and rested her head on the pillow and just watched him.

Sirius woke with a start about ten minutes later, and looked over at her; she was smiling at him. He couldn't believe it; he hugged her softly and then sat down on the edge of the bed.

"You're fine; you're going to be fine." Sirius told her touching her face softly. "I can't believe that I nearly lost you."

"I'm not going anywhere." Electra told him.

"Good because I wouldn't let you anyway." Sirius told her.

"Is Severus ok?" Electra asked.

Sirius stopped smiling and looked over his shoulder at the next bed; Electra followed his line of sight and saw him sleeping.

"He's fine, but I'm more concerned with you." Sirius told her as he looked back at her.

"Sirius, I know that you two aren't friends and I'm not really a big fan of his; but he did help me escape." Electra told him.

"Yeah but you wouldn't have been there..." Sirius argued.

"It wasn't him...it was Lucias Malfoy." Electra said as she rubbed her leg over the mark he had left behind. "I know it's hard, but it wasn't..."

"Electra...oh I don't know." Sirius said, he looked away from her and then back again.

"What's wrong Sirius?" Electra asked reaching for his hand.

"Bellatrix...she turned up here..." Sirius told her.

"Your cousin, she wasn't too happy to fine out that I was seeing you." Electra said lightly.

"No she wasn't, or that you were..." Sirius tried but couldn't. "She was killed in the attack."

"I know that the two of you were of best of terms, but I'm sorry...she was still family." Electra said.

"She wasn't any family of mine...she even said so herself." Sirius told her as he got up and walked round the bed.

"Sirius..." Electra said.

"I'm fine." Sirius told her. "Anyway my families here with you."

He sat back down and kissed her, she smiled at him before he got back up and left to find Remus and Harry.

Electra just laid there for a while she didn't really want to go back to sleep because she felt as though she done enough of that because of the potion. Severus woke up about half an hour later, he looked around the room and then sat up when he didn't see Sirius or Remus.

"Hey." Electra said from her bed, she was still lying down because it hurt too much at the moment to sit up.

Severus looked over in her direction, and she saw him for the first time; she gasped at his face.

"What happened?" Electra asked. "Please tell me that wasn't..."

"I desired it, everything I got." Severus told her.

"But..." Electra said.

"He knew that you were pregnant." Severus told her.

"What?" Electra whispered she looked at him for a moment before she turned over; she saw the door open and Remus and Harry walked in but without Sirius.

Remus was pleased to see that she was still awake and went straight over to her ignoring that fact that Severus was also awake, he pulled the chair up to the side of her bed and Harry sat on the edge of the.

"Harry get a..." Remus started.

"No it's fine, he can sit there; you can stay." Electra told him.

"Electra...I'm sorry." Remus said. "We should never have let you dance with him."

"Yeah well, it's happened now...and anyway at least we've got the really Severus back now." Electra told him." Though I'm not impressed with what the two of you did to him, have you seen his face? When did Madam Pomfery tell you?"

"What are you talking about?" Remus said.

"You know what I'm talking about." Electra told him.

Remus looked at her. "After you were taken...why didn't you tell us? Why didn't you tell Sirius?"

"I was going too, that night..." Electra said. "Where is he anyway?"

"He's gone for a walk..." Remus said.

"Too clear his head." Harry told her.

Electra looked at them both, and then at Harry. "Harry can you find him for me?"

"Yeah course." Harry said as he jumped down off the bed, he looked at Remus who nodded and then he looked back at Electra and smiled slightly at her. "I'll be right back."

Harry walked off leaving them to talk on their own, he walked out into the corridor; he didn't really know where to start looking for him so he just walked hoping that he would run into him.

Harry had been wondering around for about fifteen minutes when he turned a corner and walked into something solid sending him flying back onto the ground, he looked up at who he had walked into; their hand was extended Harry took it and smiled slightly at him as he stood.

"You alright Harry?" Sirius asked.

"Yeah, I've been looking for you...Electra wanted you." Harry told him.

Sirius just stood there looking at him, and then spoke finally. "Do you like her Harry?"

"Yeah course, it was great over the summer with the two of you." Harry told him. "I had never seen you like that, yeah I've seen you happy and everything but it was different with Electra. She's nice..."

"So you don't mind that...we were all looking for a house together?" Sirius asked him.

Harry looked at him and then turned away thinking what to say, but Sirius got nervous because he didn't answer straight away.

""When we all went out that day, like a family; both of you were happy that I was with you and you wanted me to be around." Harry told him. "And then when we went inside, and I was looking around with Electra; it was like all I could do not to get over excited...because this was it...I was going to finally get a family...I..."

"So you like her..." Sirius said. "Harry...I felt the same..."

Harry smiled at him while Sirius looked quite seriously at him, which was strange in itself.

"Harry, I love her you wouldn't mind if she lived with us?" Sirius asked him.

"I would mind, if she didn't" Harry told him.

Sirius smiled at him and put his arm around Harry's shoulder. "So we're moving in, as a family...this is going to be the new Black family...and this time round their going to be different."

"Good." Harry said.

"Yeah." Sirius said. "Let's go and tell her, that I'm going to sort the house out so when she gets out of here we can move in...and you can come home for Christmas."

The words seemed to ring in Harry's ears, 'and you can come home for Christmas.' He was finally get a home of his own, a real home and family with people who really cared about him; and wanted him to be around them.

They walked back up to the ward, Remus was still sat there he turned round when heard them enter; Electra looked up as well.

"I thought you were asleep." Remus said as he turned back round.

"I was rested my eyes." Electra said smiling at him.

Sirius and Harry sat down on either side of the bed, Sirius smiled at her.

"Right we've been talking; when you get out of here you're moving into the house." Sirius told her. "I don't care what anyone says, I'm not hiding away anymore. I'm going to fix up the house, and then you can move in with us."

Electra just smiled at him, while Remus just stared at him.

"I doubt that you could do that all by yourself." Remus told him. "I'll help in my spare time."

Sirius smiled at him and then got down off the bed and hugged him.

"Ok if Remus is getting a hug off you, I want one as well." Electra said, Sirius smiled and then hugged her and kissed her. When he let her go she looked over at Harry. "Harry, you don't mind do you?"

"Of course not." Harry told her smiling, he had a feeling to hug her as well but didn't think that it was the right thing to do.

She reached out and took his hand in hers and smiled at him, he smiled back at her...he was getting want he always wanted.
