Magical Ruins
Sirius was pacing up and down in front of the door to the hospital wing waiting for Dumbledore to come back out and tell them what had happened, while Harry and Electra sat together quietly. But Sirius was working himself up with ever minute that past, Harry looked at Sirius and then at Electra.
"Sirius please sit down before you wear a hole into the floor." Electra told him kindle.
Sirius stopped and turned round. "What were you thinking, you could have been hurt...again...because of him." And then pointed at the where which lead into the room where Severus was.
Electra stood up and walked over to him; she smiled softly at him and touched his face before she kissed him. "I'm fine, we're both fine." She took his hand in hers and rested it on her stomach and smiled at him.
He smiled at her and then hugged her tightly. "I'm sorry, its just that it seems as though he's trying to destroy us or something...I hate the way he looks at you..."
"Don't Sirius it just seems sick him and someone doing it, doing anything." Harry said.
"Tell me about it." Sirius agreed.
"He probably thinks the same about you." Electra told him.
"Why, look at me compared to him." Sirius said, but didn't get to finish because the door opened and Dumbledore walked out.
He walked straight over to Sirius and Electra so Harry jumped to his feet and joined them not wanting to miss anything.
"So...?" Electra asked.
"Is he dead?" Sirius asked, Electra looked him briefly before she turned back to Dumbledore.
"No he is not dead Sirius, but he did lose a lot of blood among other things; he is very weak at the moment." Dumbledore told them. "I have been wondering where should he stay."
"He's not staying with us." Sirius told him firmly.
"Yes I agree, well I should say that Severus would agree to that." Dumbledore said with a small smile.
"He could stay at the order or at the school." Electra suggested.
"Both places are safe yes; we'll leave that up to him." Dumbledore told them.
"He's not staying at my house." Sirius told him, and then thought about it for a moment and smiled. "Then again maybe he should stay at the house."
All three of them look at him as to try and figure out what he was up to, but none of them could.
"Electra my dear, won't you go in and say hello he was asking after you." Dumbledore told her, Sirius near enough growled at him. "And you might as well tell him where he will be staying for the rest of the summer."
"Can't you?" Electra asked.
"I agree with Electra, I don't like him around her; maybe I should." Sirius said.
Dumbledore turned to Sirius. "I don't think that would be a very good idea now do you, we want him to get better. So that's why I would like to send Electra in..."
"Because he likes her." Sirius spat. "Can't he find himself someone else?"
"Electra dear if you don't mind." Dumbledore said ignoring Sirius' outburst, Electra nodded slightly.
She smiled at Sirius before she went through the doors, the room was dimly lit and all the beds were empty part from one; she walked slowly down the room until finally she stopped at the bottom of his bed. She walked slowly over to the chair and sat down in it, she looked at him laying in the bed with his covers pulled round; she couldn't do this. She got up to leave but a hand suddenly grabbed hers.
"Severus." Electra breathed.
"Don't go." Severus asked her.
Electra nodded and then sat back down again as he let go of her and turned over so that he was looking at her.
"I'm glad that you're alright." Electra told him.
Severus smiled at her slightly and reached out to touch her but she moved away from him.
"Thanks to you." Severus told her, he looked over at the door but couldn't see out of it. "I'm glad that you got away from Black to come and see me."
"He's outside with Dumbledore and Harry, they're waiting for me." Electra told him, and he stopped smiling straight away. "Dumbledore sent me in to make sure that you were alright, and to tell you where you'll be staying for the rest of the summer, considering that your own home isn't safe anymore."
Severus tried to sit up even though it hurt to move, Electra got up to stop him but that had been what he had wanted; he grabbed hold of her and pulled her onto the bed. He smiled up at her but she didn't smile back at him, just sat down on the edge.
"Severus, you need to rest." Electra told him. "You'll be staying at the Order, its much safer there."
"At Black's house, I would rather stay in my own house and be attacked again." Severus told her.
"Don't be so stupid." Electra shot at him. "They could kill you."
"I don't that anyone would really care...would you?" Severus asked her.
Severus looked at her when she never answered him, she lent forward and kissed him softly on the cheek and stood up.
"You should get some rest." Electra told him before she turned round and walked back out of the room.
"So what happened?" Sirius asked her as soon as she walked out.
"Not much, I told him where he was staying he wasn't happy about it, said that he would rather stay at his own house." Electra answered.
"Idiot, what has he got a death wish or something?" Sirius said irritated by him, even though he hadn't been the one who had gone in to see him.
Dumbledore left them, going back in to see Severus before he left; while they went back home. The twins and Ron were still there and seemed to have made themselves quite at home and made them all tea.
"What do you think?" Fred asked smiling as they walked into the kitchen.
"Its wonderful, thank you." Electra told them. "You didn't have to do all of this."
"We know, but we did anyway." George told her. "So are you going to sit down?"
Electra smiled at them and sat down next to Sirius.
***
Sirius sat down at the table and put his feet up, while Severus stood glaring at him trying not to look at anyone else. He heard someone coming down the stairs and over to him, Harry walked round him and sat down facing Sirius and put his feet up as well.
"Sirius, put your feet down it's the dinning table; and Harry you as well." Electra told them, as she took Severus' bag off of him and handed it to Sirius. "I thought you were supposed to be telling him where he was sleeping, he's not sleeping in the kitchen."
"Shame and I was hoping that he was going to cook for us all." Sirius said as he put his feet down and stood up.
"He might poison us." Ron said, trying not to look at him.
"Good point, don't eat anything he makes for us; make a note of that Harry." Sirius told him smiling.
"What ever, just try and behaviour and don't kill each other." Electra told them. "I have some work to do."
"You always have work to do." Sirius told her as he followed her out of the room, and then said over his shoulder. "Are you coming or not?"
Severus turned round slowly and followed them back upstairs, hating every minute he had to spend in the house with him; but at least Electra was going to be there as well so that was a plus.
"You know where I'll be if you want me." Electra told Sirius as she went upstairs first leaving Sirius and Severus alone.
Sirius turned round to Severus. "Right, the rules about staying here."
"I'm not following any of your rules." Severus told him.
"Oh you'll follow this one." Sirius told him. "Stay away from my wife."
Severus smiled at him. "Why do you think I'm competition for you?"
"Of course not, I don't know what you've done to her or if it's still from whatever they did to her; but I'm warning you stay away from her." Sirius warned.
But Severus wasn't smiling anymore; it wasn't because of the warning it was because of what he had said. What if it was the spell they had used on her, what if that was why she thought she felt for him?
Electra walked into the study, and pulled her bag out from under the table, she pulled out a couple of large dusty books and a small cloth bag. She sat down at the table and started to flip madly through the pages, she knew it had to be in here somewhere because she remember it from when she was at school when she studied ruins.
She sent the next half hour searching her old books, but she still hadn't found what she was looking for. She opened the cloth bag and emptied it out on the table in front of her, and moved the ruins around; they didn't mean much, well they didn't mean anything because she wasn't looking for anything.
She stretched because she had been sat down for so long and knocked one of her books to the floor, she slowly bent down and picked it up; and there on the page was what she had been looking for.
Electra quickly picked up the book, and read through it trying to take everything in what she needed to know. This was 90% right, an ancient reading to tell who the father is and what she was having; well she wasn't as bothered about knowing what she was having because she wanted it to be a surprise, but she did want to know who the father was.
She chose the ruins that would best suit Sirius and Severus, and a child if it was theirs; then she placed them back into the cloth bag. She held them close to her chest and then emptied them onto that table.
"Electra, are you busy?" Sirius asked her, as the door opened and she quickly turned round to face him knocking her book over. "Sorry, did I disturb you?"
"No of course not." Electra said, she quickly looked at the table and tried to take in the ruins before Sirius reached her. She smiled to herself and then stood up, and wrapped her arms around Sirius and kissed. "We don't have to stay here tonight do we?"
"No, I was just coming to ask you that." Sirius told her. "I was hoping that we could have some alone time, just you and me...well after Harry's gone to bed of course."
Electra kissed him again and smiled at him. "I can't wait."
(A/N: well look at that, she knows who the father is and so do I of course; sorry but you have to wait a little longer, but there's not much left I think four to six chapters left max. So not much longer to wait, well that is if I can get them written in the next week or so.
Thanks for the reviews, sorry to upset you all, but the story is a bit of a mystery, but you'll find out the truth soon enough; and I agree that Sirius desires some happiness as well.
Well until next chapter.)
