Out in the Open
Everyone was talking excitedly in the Great Hall the first morning back after the Christmas holidays; rumours were going around school about what had happened; about Sirius and Electra getting married and Remus being her brother. Well they never did want to keep it a secret, and now it was out in the open at last.
Severus had already taken twenty points from students he had past talking about what had happened and it was only 08:35. He sat at the staff table glaring at anyone and everyone who seemed to dare look his way. And then the doors opened and Sirius and Remus walked in, as soon as they saw them everyone stood up and started to cheer and applaud them.
They both grinned as they walked up to the high table shacking hands as they went.
"Way to go sir!"
"Who would have thought she was your sister!"
"Great catch Sirius!"
"Yeah she's hot...wait a minute...can you say that about a teacher?"
"Sirius thinks so!"
"Yeah, but maybe you shouldn't say it to her brother!"
They finally reached the high table and sat down next to Severus, he glared at both of them but they didn't realise because they were to happy to think about what he was doing.
"I'm surprised you're not on a honeymoon." Severus said.
"Well we did think about it." Sirius admitted. "We might go somewhere in the summer, but take Harry with us."
"How romantic the three of you." Severus said.
"I don't you would know romantic if it hit you in that big nose of yours." Sirius shot at him.
"Now, now Black...does Electra know how childish you can be, I doubt that she would like that." Severus said.
"Really and how would you know what she likes, just stay the hell away from her ok." Sirius warned; he glared at him once last time before he turned back to Remus. "I don't believe him sometimes."

Electra went into work with Tonks; Kingsley reached over to the two them while a couple of heads popped out from behind the booths.
"Is it true, you and Black got married?" Kingsley asked her.
"Yeah, it was lovely you should have been there." Electra said dreamily, and more heads popped out at this news.
Kingsley hugged and she hugged him back. "Congratulations, he's a good man he'll take care of you." He let go of her and added quickly. "Not that you can't take care of yourself, but the two of you desire a bit of happiness between ya."
"Thanks Kingsley." Electra said smiling.
"So why weren't I invited?" Kingsley asked her.
"You'll have to ask Sirius, he organised it all." Electra told him.
"They only got engaged on Christmas day, it sounded so romantic; and the wedding she looked lovely and Sirius and Remus you should have seen them both gorgeous they really were." Tonks said dreamily.
"Well Sirius is taken, but I can always set you up with Remus if you like?" Electra asked her excitedly.
"What no, I couldn't do that...and anyway he doesn't even like me...and I well...it doesn't matter." Tonks said.
"I'll see what I can do for you." Electra told her as she linked her and led her off to her desk. "See ya later Kingsley, we're got things to do; very important things to organise."
"Don't be silly." Tonks said. "I don't even know if I like him...or if he likes me."
"Well why wouldn't he like you?" Electra said. "I'll drop a few hints, don't worry he's guy they don't pick up things like that; so they would have to pretty big hints."
"Electra I don't think this is such a good idea." Tonks said as she sat down beside her desk, while Electra sat down at it and pulled a couple of rolls of parchment to her and a quill.
"Tonks don't worry." Electra said smiling. "I'll start tonight when I go back."
"Why do I already feel as though I'm dreading this?" Tonks covering her face, but Electra pulled her hands away and smiled.
"That's a good sign, because you don't want anything to go wrong...because you do really like him." Electra said, Tonks looked away but that gave it all away.

Severus was walking up from the dungeons when Electra arrived, she saw him walking up and decided to walk a little slower not wanting to talk to him after what he had said; but it was to late because he looked round before he walked up to the Great Hall.
Severus stopped and waited for her to catch him up; she smiled slightly as she got nearer.
"Hi." Electra said.
"Good evening." Severus said stiffly.
"Severus, are you..." Electra tried to say but didn't really know what to say him.
"I'm fine; I hope that you and Sirius are happy together." Severus told her and started to walk.
She stared after him for a moment and then quickly went after him and stopped him turning him around to face her.
"What the hell was that, you hate him." Electra said annoyed with him.
"What do you really care?" Severus shot back at her, and then said a little softer. "I'm surprised that you even want to be near me, after what Lucias did to you while he was me."
"I am as well." Sirius said walking down the stairs, surprising Electra.
Electra looked at Severus one last time and then quickly walked over to Sirius and linked his arm.
"Come on lets go for dinner I'm severing." Electra said pulling him away, he aloud him self to be lead away but he looked back over his shoulder and glared draggers at him as did Severus; who followed behind them.
They walked into the Great Hall, and all the heads turned when they walked in; everyone stood up again like they had done that morning and started to applaud them as they walked up to the top table.
But Severus as soon as he heard he turned back round and went back down to his office, he couldn't sit through all of that.
(A/N:- right then I know that chapter was shorter then normal, but it got across what I wanted; and I'll try and update as soon as possible.
Thanks for all the reviews, thanks to-
Sweet Lory Black, really glad that you liked the last chapter. Sorry though that I put everything into one chapter though, but I wanted to get across that Sirius wanted to rush through it because he felt as though he had already lost so much time already; because he spent most of his in Azkaban and he wanted to make up for lost time.
But don't worry the stories not over yet. And thanks I'm a lot better now, and I've got my hours for work next week, so I won't be updating as often from next week but there will still be a couple a week or more hopefully.
Yaukira, glad that you liked the last chapter and hope you like this one as well, though sorry its shorter then normal but I'll try and update again today. I won't be updating tomorrow because I'll be out all day, so I'll try and get as much done today. Oh and thanks for reviewing my other stories as well, glad that you like them as well.
Thanks again!
