First True Love

Author's Note: I LOVE Sirius Black! He is one of my favorite HP characters next to Ron... or Fred and George and I was kinda upset at what happened to him in the fifth book, so with my extremely overactive imagination, I'm doing this fic for him!

Disclaimer: I don't own HP or the characters, but I do own the female that Sirius will fall for! :D

Chapter 5

Cassie was sitting impatiently on the couch, looking at her watch. Sirius had left with James and Remus almost two weeks ago after recieving an urgent letter from Dumbledore. Sirius didn't tell her what it was about, but Cassie noticed it was very serious and didn't ask him much more about it. She had talked to him through the two way mirror and she was happy to see him, but felt he was probably forcing a smile for her just to keep her from worrying. To add to his system of attemtping to comfort her, James and Remus could be heard joking around in the background as they talked, teasing their friend continuously. She sighed and heard someone walk up behind her. "What do you want?" she asked and turned, looking at Sirius's cousin, Andromeda, who also happened to be his favorite cousin as well.

"Ah, come on now Cassie. You really miss him that much?" she asked. She was a slightly older pureblood woman, married to a muggle man named Ted Tonks. Her hair was currently a hot pink color and Cassie couldn't help but be a little distracted by it.

"Actually, I miss him a lot..." she answered, snapping out of her thoughts and looking down at the mirror in her lap. "You think I should contact him?" she asked. Andromeda sighed and sat down next to her.

"Me personally think you should wait and cheer up. Its New Years Eve. Cheer up!" she said. Cassie frowned a little at the slightly older woman. Her husband wasn't in any kind of danger, he was a muggle, safe at home possibly babysitting their child.

"You obviously have no real worries at the moment." she muttered. Andromeda blinked in confusion but sighed and nodded, leaning back in the couch, playing with her wedding band.

"I'm not clumsy anymore... I have a lot less worries." she said. Cassie sighed. She was clumsy when she was younger too. In fact, she had met Sirius because she had tripped and flew uinto him, sending them both to the ground. Course, this was her first year and before he really began noticing her. (LOL. I'm feeling another fic idea coming on!)

"Maybe I should lighten up. I mean, Sirius wouldn't want me being all depressed now would he?" she asked grinning. Andromeda grinned and nodded.

"Exactly! Now how about we get you fixed up and go to Diagon Alley to prepare for tonight!" she suggested anxiously. "We've been invited to the Weasley's for fireworks and everything." she said brightly. Cassie laughed and nodded.

"Yeah, I suppose so." she said and got up to get washed up. She went in hers and Sirius's room and grabbed some clothes. She figured she just go as a muggle today, grabbing a pair of form fitting jeans and a large t-shirt that she knew belonged to Sirius. She couldn't help but notice it smelt like him as she put it on. She sighed and sat on the bed, missing him more now as she brushed her hair and pulled into a ponytail.

"Are you ready yet?" called Andromeda. Cassie got up.

"Yeah, I'm coming!" she called back. She got ready to leave the room, so absorbed in her own thoughts that she hadn't heard the pop behind her.

"Hey, where are you going?" came a teasing voice. Cassie blinked and turned around.The handsome toublemaker was sitting on their bed, grinning at her, his bag slung over his shoulder. "I just came back and you're already leaving?" Cassie looked at him and her eyes instantly lit up.

"SIRIUS!" she cheered, running and jumping on him, hugging him happily. "I've missed you so much." she said. Sirius laughed and brushed a piece of hair out of her face.

"Same here, lovely." he said and kissed her deeply. Cassie wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him back. Sirius laid back on the bed, his arms around her waist. They were so absorbed in each other, they didn't notice Andromeda as she came into the room.

"Cas-" she stopped when she saw them and rolled her eyes. "Brilliant. There goes my shopping trip." she said and closed the room door, walking out and leaving them alone.

----------------------------------

"What drink is this? Firewisky?" asked James curiously as Sirius handed him and Remus drinks. Remus was looking at his grinning friend suspiciously, wondering if he was trying to get them drunk so they could make fools out of themselves. Even Arthur was looking at the drink hesitantly as little Ron sat in his lap sucking on a lollipop. Sirius laughed and sat down.

"No, its rum. Firewisky is for later." he said with a smirk. Arthur chuckled and shook his head.

"Hope you kept it out of good reach. The twins like getting into things a lot lately. Gotta be the terrible twos." he said, shaking his head. Sirius grinned. Harry was sitting in James's lap, looking curiously at the drink his father had as the men talked, the women were all a little distance away discussing Molly's pregnancy.

"I honeslty want to have kids soon..." Sirius said, causing Remus to choke on his drink. He sent a glare at him. "What?" Remus looked at him innocently.

"Well... I can't see you trying to change a diaper is all." he answered. "Or waking up at all hours of the night to a crying kid."

"I could do it." said Sirius stubbornly. James raised an eyebrow at him.

"Is that a fact?" he asked with a smirk. Sirius looked at him.

"Is that a challenge?" he asked. Arthur looked confused and Remus shook his head. He already knew where this was going. Sirius and James seemed to be locked in a staring/glaring contest before James held out his hand.

"Alright Sirius. I want to see how well you can fair with kids. We're giving you the task of the year, babysitting each of the Weasley kids." he said.

"Excuse me?" said Arthur and Sirius in unison. James laughed.

"Well Harry is too good of a kid. He can't cause much trouble like the twins over there." he said, pointing at Fred and George who had gotten hold of someone's wand. "Besides, Cassie is a Weasley, so any kid you have with her will have Weasley in 'em." he informed. Sirius blushed a little when he mentioned Cassie and him having a kid.

"Fine... what do you think Arthur? That ok if I care for some of your kids?" he asked.

"You'd have to ask Molly, but I don't think it'll be much of a problem." Answered the red head and handed Ron to Sirius and went to stop the twins, who somehow managed to start a fire. Sirius looked at the little boy in his lap who was staring back at him with bright blue eyes.

"Um... ok." Sirius said, a little unsure on what to do and wanting the kid to stop staring at him. Cassie came over and laughed when she noticed his discomfort and took Ron from him.

"Adorable aren't they?" she asked. "I love little kids." she said, kissing Ron's forehead and causing him to begin babbling excitedly as Percy came over, tugging on his aunts pants and looking at her expectantly, holding up a rock he had found covered in moss. Sirius watched as she began playing with her nephews and smiled a little.

"I think Cassie is already ready for motherhood." Remus whispered and Sirius grinned, nodding in agreement.

"Yeah, I think she'll be a great mum." he said.

-----------------------------

"Molly this meal looks great. You went all out." said Lily brightly. They were doing a lot to try and stay up to see the New Year together and it wouldn't be long before all the kids were sleep. Molly blushed, but smiled brightly.

"Thank you Lily. I had Andromeda help out a but as well.." Andromeda blushed a little.

"I was more in the way than helpful." she informed. Sirius snorted and Cassie gave him a shove. He knew his cousin was clumsy at times, but it was nothing to laugh about. She looked at Andromeda and smiled.

"I think you must have helped out some." she said. Andromeda grinned a little and stuck out her tongue at Sirius as everyone began eating, making comments as they did.

"Oh yeah Molly, did I forget to mention... Sirius wants to take a chance at baby sitting the kids." said Arthur quickly, trying to avoid any trouble with his wife. Molly stopped eating and both she and Cassie looked between Arthur and Sirius in confusion.

"Excuse me?" said Molly. She was not about to let troublesome Sirius Black take care of her kids ALONE! "Sirius, this has got to be a joke. You can't even control yourself, let alone any little children." she said. Sirius blushed a little.

"I think I could..." he said and glanced at Cassie, who was looking at him curiously.

"What're you trying to prove by that?" she asked and he blushed even more. Everyone was now silent and looking between the couple expectantly.

"I- uh..."

"He wants to get some practice at fatherhood." said James, getting annoyed. Lily shoved her husband as The women all stared at Cassie and Sirius.

"Cassie, are you pregnant?" asked Andromeda. Cassie opened her mouth to say something but Lily and Molly were both up and around her in an instant, looking expectant.

"When were you going to tell us?"

"How far along are you?"

"Sirius is going to be in so much trouble trying to support a kid."

"He can barely support himself." chimed in Andromeda.

"SHUT UP!"

"Guys, I'm not pregnant!" called Cassie over the three womens' excited chatter. They backed away and Cassie sighed. "I don't know why he wants to practice for father hood... but I guess we've got a lot to talk about tonight, don't we?" she asked, looking at Sirius.

"Yes..." he said quietly. He glared at James who he heard make a whipping noise as Remus laughed silently. He was going to get them both back for this.
