Dedication: This chapter is dedicated to my cousin Danielle aka Joy aka Chet. You are my favorite cousin Nell! Don't forget… you are beautiful in every single way.
A/N: So here is number 2.
Last time- "Its you!"
Sirius's eyes too widened. 'Oh no! Shes a witch.' He then saw her wand pointing at him but no one else saw it because it was being carefully hidden by her long coat.
Kathy was thinking quickly. This was the man from her vision she had right before he ran into her. In the vision she had been sitting on a porch swing next to this man, holding his hand and laughing. Toni (her daughter) was lying on the porch with a little boy and they were taking a nap together. Kathy felt content just thinking about it.
But on with business. "We are going to sort all of this out, Black. So we'll head over to that 'out of order' bathroom and straighten a few thing out." With that she summoned his wand walked behind him and shoved him softly into the right direction.
Sirius was slightly afraid of this woman but knew she wouldn't harm Harry. She too had a daughter who was asleep in a baby carriage in Kathy's left hand.
After entering the bathroom Kathy nodded her head to the couch and chair sitting snuggly in the corner. Sirius smirked and asked Kathy " So women really have couches and chairs in their bathrooms? I always thought the girls were making up those stories." Kathy tilted her head to the side and lifted an eyebrow.
'Man' Sirius thought 'She is so cute when she dose that.' Sirius elaborated. "All through Hogwarts the only place me and my friends would not go is the girls bathroom. You would have to be one crazy guy to tread in enemy territory like that."
"You do realize that you are 'treading in enemy territory as we speak?" Kathy asked sarcastically "Anyway on to business. I want you to pull up your shirt sleeves so I can see if you have been branded like cattle just like the rest of those other 'death munchers'."
"That's all I have to do?" Sirius asked, clearly surprised.
"What do you take me for Black, a ministry worker? Of coarse that's not all! You also have to have a strong truth potion administered. Ill ask you a few standard questions and it all will be over." She said with a soft smile.
"O.k. I'm trusting you." and with that Sirius rolled up his sleeves to show two perfectly bare arms.
"So you passed test number one. Now if you pass the next one the two of us will be heading to America together." She then whipped out her wand twirled it in a circular motion saying a few words under her breath and a glass vile full of clear liquid appeared in her hand. "An invisible pocket. Invented it for war equipment." She explained quickly. "Now you have no choice in what I ask you because this is veritaserum. I know about the potion you and your friends made but I also know you haven't been taking it because you and James used the last of it a month ago and never finished brewing another batch."
Sirius gasped no one knew of that potion, not even Pettigrew! They had invented a potion that would help you keep your mind and not tell any secrets if given any truth potion, even the strongest of potions. "How did you know? No one was EVER told about that potion."
"I have my ways. Open up now. Its going to be over soon. The taste is going to be the worst though." With that three clear drops were sent into Sirius's mouth. First he blanched, and then started coughing and sputtering at the horrible taste. He then got rigid and all emotion slipped out of his face.
"What is your full name?"
"Sirius Orion Black"
"Who is your very best friend?"
"James Harrison Potter"
"Were you the Potters secret keeper?"
"I was going to be but at the last minute we used Peter to throw everybody off."
"Are you a death eater?"
"No I would never go dark."
"One last question, do you think I'm cute?" Kathy smirked
"Yes you are the prettiest woman I've ever met."
With that Kathy murmured "Ailianay" and Sirius came to.
"I can't believe you asked me that!" Sirius then sat there in a thoughtful pose. "You know, I think I would have done the same thing!"
"Well we both know that's something I've always wanted to do. Follow in your footsteps!" Kathy said while rolling her eyes. Looking at her watch she said "We still have twenty minuets before we get on the plane. Is there anything you want to know?"
"Well you're from America right?"
"Yes, born and raised."
"What were you doing in England, with the war, and a daughter!?!"
"Well, I came to help fight. I am the best in the business. I am, a harden trained solider."
"You? You are a solider?"
"Hey buddy, I know I look young but I joined the army the day I turned 18!"
"O.k. O.k. Are you married?"
"No , I'm divorced."
"Who is your ex-husband?"
"His name is Jacob Lennington, why we got divorced is a story for another time."
This is the first time Kathy faltered. She knew this was going to be asked though.
"O.k." Sirius said confused. "Um, where do you live?"
"Actually I was going to figure that out when I got there. I used to live in the in New York, but I want to live somewhere, where I don't have to worry about Toni getting mugged at age five."
"Well Harry and I are going to be living in a cottage by the lake. James, Lily, Remus, and I spent a week there after school was over. Listen, if you like the idea, maybe you can live there. There are three bedrooms in each cottage and can expand it when the kids are older." Sirius said this all in one breath so at the end of the mini rant he was gasping for breath.
Kathy was absolutely beaming. "I think that is the best idea you've had all morning! Yes, I would love to stay with you. I guess its about time to get on the plane." she sighed
Sirius was as comfortable as can be. Kathy fell asleep ten minuets ago on his shoulder and the kids were sharing a seat and blanket together. He looked down at the little girl laying with his godson. She had light brown, almost an auburn, hair that was held up in pigtails. She also had the most amazing color of amethyst eyes. Kathy had said she looked like her mother (Kathy's mother). Sirius had to admit she was a cutie, especially snuggled up with his godson. He felt so content just sitting there. The only other time he felt like this he was with his best friends.
That was the last thought Sirius had before he drifted to sleep.
