Authors Note: Hi everyone! Just letting you know that one of my Reviewers hit on what's going to happen to a key character. Now, which is it? ~Bah bah bum~. Anyways, this fic is going to be to the time of L/J's deaths, too. W/ the growing up of Harry even, too.
*~*~*
The next day the group of teens went to Diagon alley, getting their school supplies. Sirius and Raven were supposed to meet Sirius' parents by the 'Quality Quidditch Supplies' store after they'd done their shopping. Lily and James branched off from the couple as they made their way to Sirius' parents. Sirius was walking with his arm around Raven, and Raven was smiling as she walked ahead. Sirius' parents waved, and the couple waved back.
"Hello, Sy, darling." Sirius mother, Stephanie said as she hugged Sirius then Raven. "Now what was it that you two love birds wanted to tell me and your father?"
"Yes, what is it?" Orlando said as he wrapped his arms around his wife, and looked down at Raven. "How are you Raven?"
"I'm okay, how are you?" Raven asked politely as they all went to sit on a bench beside the Quidditch supply store. Orlando said his say, and then Sirius cleared his throat.
"We are here to tell you something important," Said Sirius as he looked from his mother to his father—both of them now paying complete attention to what he was saying. "Raven and I are going to be parents. The baby should be born in January or February. We haven't seen if it was a boy or a girl, yet."
Stephanie and Orlando sat looking at their youngest son, then to the girl he loved and both of them cracked identical smiles. Stephanie burst into tears, and hugged Raven, who hugged back, and Orlando and Sirius shook hands, then hugged for a second, and then looked around to see if anyone saw.
"Wow, what are you going to do about Hogwarts?" Stephanie asked Raven, looking at her stomach. "You'll start showing soon."
"I'm not going to worry about it. I told the Madam Rosetta to make me some maternity robes." Raven pulled out a black robe that was bigger than her usual robes.
"Ahhh," said Sirius looking towards Gringotts. "There's Lily and James, must be off. Bye mum, bye dad." The two walked over to Lily and James and Raven yawned.
"I'm tired, you guys, can we go home?" Raven asked as she switched the bags in her hand to her other one. Sirius grabbed the bags quickly and kissed Raven on her cheek.
*~*~*
On the day that Lily was going back to Hogwarts, she felt a bit queasy. She didn't know if it was the anniversary of her killing her father, or if she'd eaten something bad. She quickly put her trolley by the train, and sat in a compartment, Raven following after her. The two sat in silence for a while, and then Raven asked her a question.
"Lils," Raven said, waving her hand in front of Lily's face to wake her up from her daydream. "Wake up! Hey? I was just wanting to ask you something."
Lily blinked then looked at her friend. It seemed that Raven had grown even more radiant by the day. "Yes, Raven?"
"I was wanting to know if you would be my coach?" Lily looked confused for a moment, then Raven explained everything to her, and she agreed. The two girls talked for a while, then the Marauders came into the compartment and sat down—Wormtail closely followed them. The two girls greeted everyone, even talking to Peter with forced smiles.
"So, how are you ladies?" Asked Sirius sitting between Lily and Raven. James sat beside Lily, and Remus and Peter sat on the other side of the room.
"Yeah, how are the miss-marauders?" Asked Remus as he smiled devishly. "Ahhh. Look at the time I must be off. Going to see my girlfriend." And he disappeared off into the hallway. Peter after awhile got up and left the compartment leaving the couples to talk.
*~*~*
As the four sat down at the Gryffindor table, they waited patiently for the First years to be sorted, clapping politely for all of them. Raven had put in a request to Dumbledore to be changed houses, and she was now officially a Gryffindor for one reason. The situation with Sirius. As all the First years were sorted, food appeared on their plates, a few bananas's on Sirius'. He grinned and took a bite out of one of them.
"Here's to the future Mrs. Sirius Black!" Said Lily as she held her goblet in the air.
"Yeah!" Coursed the entire Gryffindor table as they drained their goblets. Raven and Sirius just shook their heads grinning.
