May 1986 – Chapter 3 – Honeymoon in America
The Black's honeymoon was a very Muggle travel plan. Both had wanted to see America so they choose Yellowstone National Park. They were to stay in the Inn for a full week. Fresh air, geysers, and themselves, only themselves for a whole week.
Remus was at home with house watching it with James and Lily.
Sirius plopped onto the bed. "I love you dearest." He said drawing her closer to him.
His hands were on her back caressing down to her bottom and back up to her shoulders as she stood between his legs.
"I know." She whispered and he kissed her deeply.
She giggled and pushed back from him. "It is not even noon yet Sirius." She giggled against his lips.
He chuckled softly. "What shall we do?" He asked breaking the kiss with her.
"Hike?" She asked.
He nodded. They went into geyser basin.
Khadja took many pictures and loved watching the geysers. They often did not start on time according to the prediction, but it was fun waiting and soaking up the sun. She loved her time with her new husband and loved being with him.
She was Mrs. Black. She shivered each time Sirius cooed it at her as he started to make love to her. She felt secure and loved with him around.
Remus had told her he had been somewhat of a Don Juan in the later years at Hogwarts.
She smiled thinking of their mutual best friend. He was condemned to be a loner because of a misjudgment at a young age. Now he was a half-human listed under creatures in the Ministry of Magic books. He was a human most of the time, all but three days in the month. He was a werewolf and there was no cure, though with his good friends he kept good company. Remus was level headed and brilliant. She loved him so much as a brotherly type person.
Sirius came up to her holding a sack with store bough items as they waited for a geyser called Riverside. They had walked passed two rare geysers called Fan and Mortar. Then to a hot pool called Morning Glory.
Khadja was sitting on a bench in the shade when she felt arms wrap about her. Sirius laughed softly. "I like playing being a Muggle." He whispered in her ear.
He smiled. "There is a man over there who is a geyser gazer. He is really friendly. He is over there with those six others."
She looked at the medium height man with a large beer belly and hat on. He wore glasses on his tan face and was explaining what to look for when Riverside was nearly ready to erupt.
She smiled.
"...Bubbles over the vent are a very good sign yes. Good eye. Should be about five minutes now." The man clearly an American said.
A small woman walked over to him. She was in a ranger uniform. She was very petite, barely five foot if that, perhaps less.
"I am excited. I hear this one has good rainbows at the right light." Khadja said.
"Yes. Should be some good ones." A soft young voice said behind them.
Sirius and Khadja turned to the young girl.
"Dad likes telling people what he knows so they do not have to deal with the idiots who try to geyser gaze who think they are better than everyone."
They looked at her. She was rather short with short mouse brown hair. A girl she was, though she was not yet blooming into womanhood. She sat near them on the bench watching then with glasses perched on her nose. She leaned forward a little.
"You come here often?" Sirius asked. He would love it personally. Be away from most people.
She pointed to the woman next to the man who was evidently her father. Sirius looked closer at the willow thin woman. "That's my aunt. She works here. I only live two hours away so I come up here all I can in the summer to stay with her."
"You are lucky." Khadja said.
"We are heading to see Grand before dad goes. Wanna come?"
"Sure." Sirius said nodding as he unpacked a sandwich.
Sure enough a moment later Riverside arched into the Firehole River offering spectacular pictures with rainbows. Khadja was amazed at the sight. Sirius sat watching. It was amazing.
The girl smiled at them after the show ended and Riverside was well into steam phase as she called it. Sirius and Khadja noticed the small ranger and the portly man heading out of the small ring track towards the pavement.
Sirius gathered their things as Khadja sipped some water and then they followed the group of three people trailing the geyser gazer.
He was talking about the troll looking geyser called Grotto and it being attached in the earth to the broken cone geyser Giant. Giant was the second highest geyser in the park, but like all the large geysers it was rare to see.
The man pointed out Sawmill to the people gathered about him. The group crossed the river and went up the hill passed some hot springs. The man jumped actually quite agilely onto the bench and looked.
"Good overflow. Does anyone know when it started?" He asked the small group already there.
"About 30 minutes ago." A man said looking up from a book. He had a radio on him and smiled. "Rift hasn't gone knock on wood. It did yesterday."
The ranger woman sat down and nodded. "Well good."
Sirius bent his head down to the girl as she sat pulling out a bottle filled with some dark substance. "What is so bad about Rift and what does the overflow mean?"
She smiled up at him. Her eyes had a little gleam. "Rift delays Grand sometimes hours. It is a water stealer like Grotto is for Giant." She said referring to her father's previous lecture.
"And the overflow?"
"It has to overflow at least an hour before it will go. It normally starts on a Turban cycle. There are three geysers here. "The one up on the basin is Turban. It was finishing when we got here and normally goes every twenty minutes or so. Grand's vent is right below that rock that has the gray face to us. If the steam clears you can see it looks deeper. Then to the left of Turban is a crack in the ground that starts erupting a little after Grand starts. It is Vent." She used her finger to point out.
Sirius was listening carefully absorbing all the child said like a sponge. Khadja's attention was on a ground squirrel sitting before them on his hind legs begging.
The girl rolled her eyes. "Pest." She hissed at it.
A grunt came from behind them as if in agreement and everyone turned and noticed the large bull bison behind them. He was placidly watching them, his massive head the size of any of them.
The ranger was keeping people from getting too close, but people wanting to get within a few feet for a picture did not disturb him. He almost posed for Khadja.
Sirius noted the girl's father was also taking pictures. "His tongue is blue." Khadja giggled.
The girl nodded. "Where are you two staying?" She asked. "I know you are British by your accent. I live two hours away. I am staying the weekend with my aunt."
"The Inn." Khadja said.
"I am British." Sirius said. "Khadja is my wife from Saudi Arabia."
Khadja grinned and blushed at the same time. "We are on our honeymoon."
"Welcome to the Western USA. And congrates on your wedding." She said.
The small talk continued. They found out the small child was only seven, though her knowledge was far more than even many of the adults there
Grand went off only five minutes after it was predicted which amazed all four of the geyser gazers present. The man with the radio let the small girl call in the Grand eruption on his radio.
The sun was behind the hills and the girl was hugging her dad goodbye. The ranger then smiled. "Ready for the Wind and the Lion and Robin Hood."
The girl giggled. "With pink Lemonade and Popcorn."
The ranger smiled and hugged her brother and then started to walk off. The girl came to Sirius and Khadja. "I hope you have fun here. Maybe I will see you around some more. We will be here tomorrow and then up at canyon the next day."
"We will see you then." Sirius said softly. He wrapped his arm about his wife as they walked watching the child run down the boardwalk laughing as she streamed on about Errol Flynn in tights and Sean Connery as a Berber.
Khadja and Sirius enjoyed dinner in the dining room and then retired to their rooms.
Sirius sighed as his wife came out of the shower. Lord, she she looked amazing with her hair plastered about her.
He kissed her softly, his hand going to her damp hair. He was falling in love even more with her day by day, each time he looked at her. The robe fell down on shoulder reveal her bronze olive skin. He bent and kissed her naked exposed flesh with a moan.
Author notes: I live two hours away from Yellowstone and my aunt was a park ranger. I know the place better than many who have worked there for years because I was trained by the Geologist named Rick Hutchinson. He was killed by an avalanche. I put myself at that time period with my father there with my aunt.
PS. Some of the Geyser Gazers are real pricks. However, my dad is the one who loves to chat. So if you see a portly sort with salt and pepper hair and a foreign legion hate you have seen my father.
Also the pink lemonade and popcorn with the movies is what my aunt and I did. This year for my birthday I got both on DVD as a special present to remember the good old times.
