I have to warn you about this one though, Mo and Sirius get serious! Nothing descriptive...but it's implied. Anywho, this is my romance chapter so to speak...so don't say I didn't warn you! lol
Chapter Eleven – How To Say Goodbye
The bright snow and the beaming faces of her friends did much to help soften her mood as she said goodbye. The looming darkness in her heart had been hard to cover up, more so as she said her farewells. For all she knew it could be the last time.
"Oh I'm going to miss you," Caroline said squeezing her friend with a grin.
"Jeez Caroline," Sirius laughed rolling his eyes. "It's just Christmas Break."
"We know," Mo snapped and smiled at her friend. "Have fun Caroline. Don't let Remus eat too much."
"I won't," Caroline promised and smiled uneasily. "Are you okay Mo?"
"Yeah," Mo said airily and offered a grin. "I'm just going to miss you guys is all. Take care of yourself, kay?"
"Sure," Caroline said and glanced at Sirius. "You too." Mo gave her friend one more hug before she climbed into a waiting carriage.
"Bye Mo, Sirius!" Lily shouted out the side of one of the carriages. James arms were around her and they were grinning like lunatics.
Mo smiled and ran over to give them both a hug, "Happy Christmas you two!"
"Teach Padfoot some manners while we're gone will you?" James asked with a grin.
"They wouldn't hurt you either," Lily smirked and her eyes settled briefly on Sirius. "Take care of him though."
Mo nodded and smiled, "I will."
Lily saw the spark in her friend's eye, "Get off for a sec, James." Lily waited till James had moved to sulk in the corner and whispered to Mo, "He loves you, you know."
Mo's face visibly paled and she had to grab the side of the carriage to keep from toppling over, "He-he does?" She hadn't expected to hear that and it would make saying goodbye to him decidedly more difficult.
Lily smiled sympathetically, "Yeah, be sure that he treats you right. We have to go. Have a happy Christmas Maureen."
"You to Lils," Mo managed and watched their carriage pull away.
"Behave yourself Moony," she heard Sirius say to Remus as he and Caroline climbed into another waiting carriage with Jessi.
Mo walked slowly over to the rest of her friends. Remus stuck his head out the window and planted a kiss on her cheek.
She turned to grin at the boy she had always taken for a little shy. Caroline had done wonders for him, she mused. "Think you can get away with that do you?" she laughed and kissed him smack on the lips. "Have a Happy Christmas Rem. Make Caroline behave."
"Will do Mo," Remus said and his eyes wandered to Sirius. "Make sure you make him behave."
Mo grinned, "I fully intend to deal with him."
Remus quirked an eyebrow, "I'm sure you do."
"C'mon Remi enough flirting," Jessi laughed and poked her head out to say goodbye as well. "See you when we get back Mo. Don't change to much while we're gone."
Mo smiled, "I'll do my best Jess."
Jessi grinned, "That a girl. Happy Christmas then."
"Mmm," was her only response as she stepped back to let the carriage move away from the castle.
Sirius came up from behind her and wrapped his arms around her shoulders, "Alone at last."
Mo looked around at the few lingering students as they waved goodbye to their friends as well. The thought nearly brought tears to her eyes. Never before had she known farewell to be so painful. Sighing she forced herself to be happy and decided she had made up her mind about how to say goodbye to Sirius. She hadn't thought he felt the same way about her as she did about him but all of her friends seemed to think otherwise. Turning, she managed a wicked grin in Sirius's direction, "What are you going to do about it, Black?"
Sirius raised a brow not certain he had heard her right, "Was that a challenge?" He noticed the lively sparkle in her eyes and knew the answer.
"And if it was?"
Sirius grinned devilishly making her heart trip, "I accept."
He moved so suddenly towards her that she had no time to react. He had her trapped against his chest before she could blink.
His breath mingling with hers she spoke unsteadily, "I didn't mean for it to be right here."
Sirius laughed loudly, "The lady wants something more comfortable...that can be arranged." He swept her off her feet and into his arms.
She swallowed hard. She had never expected anything like this from him. He was wonderful, and for the moment, all hers. Giving into her feelings she ran a finger down his back. She grinned when he abruptly set her on her feet and pushed her up against a wall.
His mouth devoured hers and she melted against him. When he drew back he was breathing heavily, "If you want to make it back to the Tower I highly suggest that you not do that again."
Mo grinned innocently as Sirius swept her off her feet again. The rest of the trip took considerably longer than Sirius wanted as Mo was teasing him beyond his limits.
When they reached the portrait hole they were clinging together as if their lives depended on it.
"Dear me but someone's enjoying themselves," the Fat Lady said amused.
"Mettles Hornby," Mo managed to get out the password before Sirius had her mouth again.
Backing through the portrait hole she all but dragged Sirius into the common room. As they were both dazed she managed to escape his hold and start dancing up the stairs to her dormitory.
"Oh no you don't," Sirius said catching her around the waist. Her protesting squeal had him grinning again, "Where in the bloody hell did you think you were going."
Mo pouted, "I thought I was taking you to bed."
The smart reply on Sirius's tongue vanished and he stared at her in shock, "W-what?"
"You heard me Black."
"You– I– but," he ran a hand through his dark hair swamped in emotion.
She smirked, "This is one for the record books. Sirius Black, speechless."
Sirius glowered at her, "You said you weren't ready."
She looked up at him secretly adoring his sweet, confused blue eyes, the six foot three body humming with tension, and the raggedly messy hair that she was dying to run her hands through, "You were and I am now. So what's the hold up?"
"Impatient aren't we?" he smirked. "Well I suppose I might be able to accommodate you but not in your bed."
She let out a yell when he abruptly threw her over his shoulder. "Just what do you think you're doing?" she demanded.
She could here the laughter in his voice even with out seeing it in his face, "Taking you to bed as you asked."
"Humph," Mo let out irritated breath as Sirius flopped her down on his bed. "That was romantic."
Hs goofy grin charmed away the frown threatening to appear on her face, "I know."
She sat up on her knees to brace her hands against his chest. She bit her lip in thought and raised her eyes to Sirius's, "There's just one problem."
"Is that so?"
"Yes," she said and an innocent smile flashed across her face.
"What would that be?"
"We're still fully clothed."
Sirius smirked, "Don't worry, that I can take care of."
Mo had never imagined anything like what Sirius was doing to her by removing her clothing piece by piece. But then she had never fallen in love with anyone. This would be what she remembered as she faced Voldemort.
"Don't frown," he said leaning her back onto the bed that smelled gloriously masculine and ultimately Sirius. "You're so pretty when you smile."
Mo smiled as he brushed her lips softly with his thumb, "Anything for you."
(A/N: I'll let your wonderful imaginations take care of the rest.)
A sigh of contentment escaped her lips, as Mo lay nestled at Sirius's side. She would never be this happy again, she realized. She belonged to him now.
She felt Sirius's arms snake about her waist and he pulled her on top of him. He grinned, "Hello."
"Hello," she said with an indulgent smile. She propped her elbows on his chest.
"Merlin, you're beautiful," Sirius murmured and ran a hand down her hair.
Mo stared hopefully at him. No one had ever thought she was beautiful, then again she'd never given them a chance or received a look like the one Sirius was giving her now. "Am I?" she asked. He only nodded, seemingly caught up in his thoughts. "What are you thinking about?"
"You," he replied with a flashy grin.
"Is that all?"
He smiled, "Yeah, actually." His eyes lingered over her face and he played absently with the ends of her hair.
"What?" Sirius didn't answer her right away. He didn't know how. A realization had just hit him that had scared the shit out of him. The perplexed look in his eyes had Mo wondering, "Sirius what's wrong?"
Sirius let out a breath surprised that it wasn't shaking and then realized he had never been more sure or calmer about anything in his life, "I love you."
Nothing had prepared her for that, nothing. She had never expected Sirius to say those words she would have been content just to know it was mutual but here he was laying them at her feet. And I'm naked in his bed, she thought amused.
A smile tugged at her lips as she replied, "Do you Sirius?"
"I've never said that to anyone before," he mused and scowled. "Ever. So I should bloody well hope so."
She sighed deeply and kissed him enticingly on the lips, lingering slightly as she pulled back, "I love you too. I have since I first laid eyes on you."
"Hmm," he replied, one corner of his mouth lifted in a charming smile. "And I thought I was the only one admiring that day."
"You better have been admiring me or I'll kick your arse."
"And who else would it be?" he grinned as he flipped their positions and showed her exactly how much he admired.
Well how was it? Cute, not cute? Was it okay between Mo and Sirius? I wasn't sure how I was going to go about that...but I think it turned out pretty well! Anywho...please review!!! Luv ya!!!
