Nightmares
It was the middle of November and Electra was still in hospital, she was getting very bored just laying there and no one letting her out of bed to do anything; she hadn't minded at first because every time she got up for a walk she would end up collapsing, but now she was alright. They were both just fusing over her now.
Severus had left the other week, and gone back to work as well; so she was there on her own along with a couple of people on the ward, which were very strange. Remus and Sirius visited her as often as they could, and brought Harry up on the weekends when he wasn't busy.
Sirius arrived with a bag, he out it down at the side of her bed and then kissed her on the forehead before he sat down on the chair. He watched her sleep, well move around a lot; every time he tried to hold her hand she moved it away from him. He just put it down to a back dream she was having, and sat back.
Electra woke with a start, almost knocking his drink out of his hand as he jumped as well.
"Hey Electra, you alright?" Sirius said setting it down and sitting on the edge of her bed, and hugged her tightly. "It was just a dream, you're alright I'm here."
She hugged him tightly as a tear ran down her cheek, but she quickly wiped it away as he sat back up so that he wouldn't see.
"So how Harry's?" Electra asked as she settled pulling her cushions up behind her. "Is Draco still giving him a hard time?"
"No, Snape talked to him." Sirius told her. "You know its weird having a nice Snape round, but he's himself again; he still has his moments. But enough about him...guess what; well I'm going tell you anyway. The house is done, with help from Remus and Molly and the boys; and you're coming home."
Electra hugged him tightly again. "That's great, you should have told me straight away...where are my clothes?"
"Ease up there...oh and this weekend I was wondering if we should ask if Harry could come and stay?" Sirius said.
"Well it won't hurt to ask will it?" Electra said as she threw the covers back hitting Sirius with them, and swung her legs over the end of the bed.
Sirius smiled at her as he knocked the covers off of himself and bent down for the bag full of her clothes, he got of the bed and put the bag in his place.
"Right I brought a bit of everything, I wasn't really sure what you would want." Sirius told her as he opened the bag, and she looked inside and started to pull things out.
"Ok then close the curtains while I get changed." Electra told him brightly.
Sirius closed the curtain's but didn't stay in with her, she was glad really because she didn't want him to see the mark on her leg; she hadn't even shown the healers. She didn't want anyone to see it, when she got back to Hogwarts she was going to look something up to get ride of it; before Sirius sees it.
"So you and Remus getting along with the teaching?" Electra said trying not to laugh. "Sorry, don't glare at me; I know you are. But it's so hard to believe that you're teaching still."
"I can teach, and the students like me as well." Sirius told her, as she opened the curtains. "And anyway it's just for the full moon, like you did."
"Maybe you should carry on with it." Electra suggested.
"What?" Sirius asked taken back by the statement. "I'm not a teacher, you know me so you know that."
"Sirius you're helping Remus out, you should carry it on; and if you're that good Dumbledore might find you a subject of your own to teach." Electra said smiling at him. "And anyway I already have a job."
Sirius pulled his face, he knew what he job was and now it bothered him after everything which had happened to her and she still wanted to be an Auror.
"We'll talk about it later." Electra told him, as she moved out of the way so that he could picked the bag up; and they cleared away the rest of her things. "So what have you made me for tea?"
"It's a surprise." Sirius told her smiling.
"Can't wait, come on I need to get out of this place." Electra told him, pulling at his arm to hurry up.
"You're acting a bit like a child..." Sirius said and then looked away; she smiled slightly at him as she linked his arm.
"Sirius, I am sorry that I didn't tell you..." Electra told him. "Do you want a child?"
Sirius didn't look at her straight away. "I know we kind of talked about, but when I heard that you were it changed everything...I never realised until that moment that I did...but do you?"
She kissed him. "I still have to get all this out of my system, but after that if you still want to start a family...then yes I do."
Sirius smiled at her and hugged her. "You can tell Remus, when it happens."
Electra laughed as she looked up at him. "How manly of you."
"Have you seen him, he can be really scary at times." Sirius told her.
***
Sirius was getting a little frustrated but he still never said anything to anyone, well he couldn't; this wasn't really something he could talk about with Remus because it was about his sister, and he didn't have anyone else to talk too now.
Sirius apperated into his kitchen, Electra wasn't down stairs which he didn't really except her to be because it was quite late. He slowly made his way upstairs; though it seemed the more care he took not to make the stairs creak they did, so he just walked normally.
Sirius was heading for the bathroom when he heard her in the bedroom, he walked along to see if she was alright; he pushed open the door slightly to look inside. She was having another nightmare thrashing around as though trying to fight someone off.
Sirius walks over to the bed to try and settle her, this happen so frequently now that he cared of knew how to settle her. But this time was different as he touched her she just fought against him even more, trying to get away from him.
"Electra...it's me..." Sirius told her, but she still didn't wake up infact she punched him in the face; which shock him completely realising that she was just as strong as her brother even though she wasn't a werewolf. "Electra wake up."
Electra woke with a started almost jumping out of bed, but she felt Sirius arms around her; she started to cry as she rested her head on his shoulder. He rocked her back and forward as she crawled up into him.
"It's alright, I'm here." Sirius whispered to her, as he kissed her forehead softly.
She just cried in his arms as she clutched onto his robes holding him tightly afraid to let him go, as she moved her leg the slip she was wearing revealed the mark on her leg. Sirius didn't notice at first, he just thought that it was burn that hadn't healed like he had the first time he saw it; but then as she moved again he saw it for what it really was. She didn't notice at first when he lifted his head up, but she did when he touched her there.
"What's that?" Sirius asked trying his hardest not to sound angry.
She didn't answer him, she looked at him tear stained face as if pleading him to believe her; but when his features didn't soften she turned away from him. Sirius sat there just staring at her, and then his anger seemed to take over even without him realising; he grabbed hold of her and turned her around to face him.
"Electra...tell me." Sirius demanded.
Electra couldn't answer him, she just cried and pulled her legs up into her chest pulling her wrist out of his hand; she covered her legs as best as she could. Sirius looked at her, and then crawled over to her; he sat in front of her for a moment before he wrapped his arms around her and she just fell into his chest.
They just sat together on the bed, until she fell back to sleep in his arms tired from crying and hiding the secret from him for so long. Sirius just held her; he was so anger with himself for letting all this happen and for not seeing all this before. Why hadn't he protected her? He finally fell asleep himself but with that question playing over and over again in his mind.
Sirius woke up first next morning and just laid there with her in his arms; she had had quite a peaceful night with him, the first in well he couldn't even remember. She woke up a while later and looked up at him.
"I'm sorry." Sirius told her.
Electra hugged him tightly. "You have nothing to be sorry about."
"What course I do, I should have known there was something." Sirius told her. "And when I saw that mark that time, I should have done something about it."
"And of course, so should I." Electra told him.
"No, I was supposed to protect you...and I failed again...that's all I seem to do fail the people I love." Sirius said.
She sat up and looked at him. "You haven't failed anyone; the only time when you have failed us is when you give up. Your still here with me, and Harry; that's all what matters at the moment."
He just looked at her, as she smiled slightly at him and he kissed her. "I'm still sorry though."
She hugged him again and rested her head against his chest. "Then maybe we can sleep like this for a while."
"Anything you want." Sirius said.
"There's one more thing...don't tell Remus." Electra told him.
He pulled away from her as she looked up at him.
"I guess." Sirius said, he wasn't so sure that he should but he wanted to make her happy and this was what she wanted; so of course he would do it.
