Forgotten Time

By Misaki Sakura

Ch. Six : Fool Again

James took a look around and quickly recognized the place they landed in. It's the Gryffindor's Common Room. They saw the sixteen-year-old Marauders sat on the couch. James was reading "Quidditch Through The Ages" while Sirius was humming something, practically lying on James' lap, with his hair being played idly by James. Remus was revising his homework. Harry figured it was a History of Magic essay as he read the bold letters on the top of the parchment.

No one noticed that a certain Wormtail was eyeing Sirius' every movement, except the both men who're currently standing beside the couch. Harry suddenly felt the urge to walk at him and punch him in the face. He knew very well how gorgeous his god ..., erm, mother was, but he somehow didn't like the way Peter stared at him although it seemed that Sirius was completely oblivious about this. He's not the only one though.

"I'm going to the library." Remus said to no one in particular, closing his book and putting it in his bag as he walked out.

Sirius sat up and looked intently at James. "It's weird."

"What do you mean weird?" They could hear the teenage James' voice as he asked his lover, looking up from his book.

"What do you mean weird?! Didn't you notice?! He doesn't take any books with him so obviously he's not going to study there. Okay, I know that Remus is ... bookish but have you ever heard him being so cheerful for just going to a ... library?" Sirius shook his head lightly, making his silk hair falling absentmindedly before his eyes.

"So what do you say, Padfoot?" James, still in his composure, smiled slightly.

"Probably, he's meeting some girls." Blue eyes flashing with mischief.

"Or boys." James added, chuckling. Peter didn't do anything and just looked nothing particular, probably too busy daydreaming to even notice both boys were no longer on their previous positions. He didn't even give any acknowledgement when James and Sirius made their way out of the Common Room.

"Did you see that Peter's spacing out?" James asked, frowning.

"Huh?"

"Nothing." He sighed. "So do you have any idea what to do now?"

"I don't know. Go to the kitchen ... nah, I'm not in the mood for that. Playing quidditch ..."

"Siri, we can't play quidditch without Madam Hooch's permission. Anyway, it's snowing."

"I know. Um ... tailing Remus!"

"I think we're a bit late for that. Remus is nowhere to be seen now." James and his logic.

"I can turn into-"

"Padfoot, you can't. What if anybody sees?"

"Geez, fine. So what do we do? I don't want spend our time in the Common Room with Peter!"

"Maybe we can do a threesome."

"James!"

"Just kidding."

Sirius 'hmph'-ed and turned away, backing at James, who sighed and brought himself closer to Sirius. Tickling Sirius' ears, he whispered, "I know exactly what to do to cheer you up."

"And what is-?"

Before he could finish his sentence, James dragged him to the direction of the ...

"Astronomy Tower?" Harry said as he recognized the hallway that led to the certain place which was a spot for couples for ... doing things. It seemed that its function hadn't changed since his father's time.

James face brightened with amusement. "Harry, I don't think you're going to like what you're going to see. Just bear yourself."

"Wha-?"

Harry didn't have any chance to finish his sentence as he saw his fathers were kissing each other in front of the door. James pushed Sirius back against it and slowly turning the knob open while keeping his tongue inside Sirius' mouth. Sirius had his eyes closed, slowly pushing the door open with his leg ... when they heard something.

"Did you hear that?" James asked, looking around the room.

"Uh-huh."

There are curtains at the corner of the room and those noises were coming out from behind them. James pulled Sirius behind him, both boys kept their mouth shut. There are some other people in that room with them and their oblivious to their presence. However, Sirius knew he recognized that muffled voice ... moaning to be exact. Snivellus. He nearly laughed at the thought that someone would want Snivelli but when he heard the other voice, he gasped.

James knew that voice too but he was too stunned to restrain Sirius from jerking the curtains open. He shrieked.

"Remus!!"

Remus, who had his legs straddled and no shirt on with Snape on top of him, flushed and managed to croak out, "Sirius! James!"

This time, it's James who gained his self-control first and grabbed Sirius hand before dashing out of the room.

"That's gross, Dad." Harry closed his mouth, tried desperately not to laugh his lungs out at Sirius' expression.

"Well, he has to put it in the Pensieve. He was scarred for life! Sirius barely talked to Remus after that for almost two weeks. Later, Remus had to talk to him and sorted things out, but sometimes he still had a very weird expression when Snape's around."

"I'd do that too if I were him." He mumbled incoherently.

Then they felt the same sensation as they jumped into Sirius' other memory.

"What takes him so long?!"

Sirius paced around his room, hands in his robe's pocket. He had waited for two hours and James still hadn't returned into their room. Never known for his patience, Sirius yanked the door open and stalked out.

As he headed for the lake, his eyes caught the glimpse of the Forbidden Forest and let his legs took him there unnoticingly. He passed the trees and walked deeper into it, barely knowing where his legs led him. Until he saw a cave near a swamp. The pain, along with the flashes of images, struck him once more and he managed to drag himself into the cave before he collapsed.

James clenched both his fists at the side of his body. Harry had his mouth closed and tears started to well up in his eyes as he watched the scene in front of him.

"But ... why? What did I do wrong?!"

"You did nothing wrong. It's just that my love for you is not enough." James replied callously to his lover who stood in front of him, crying.

"What?!"

"You heard me." James started walked out of the room, he recognized as the living room in Godric's Hollow.

Sirius grabbed his head and stuttered. "You lied!"

"You want to know the truth?" James yanked his wrist out of his grasp, causing Sirius to stumble backwards. "Lily's pregnant." Then without second glance at him, James strode out, leaving a very pained-looking Sirius behind.

Sirius just sat there and did nothing. His tears covered his face as he started sobbing, curled up on the floor.

James kept silent, even when they went to another memory. They saw Sirius sat at a café with James sitting in front of him.

"Tell me, Dad." Harry broke the silence between them. "How could you be so callous to ask him to become your best man? Didn't you consider his feelings?"

"... I was blinded with anger and rage. All I want to do was to see him suffer ... because of my own selfishness ..."

"Wha-"

"I thought he was cheating on me with Remus and-"

"Dad! He'll never cheat on you!"

"I know. But at that time ..."

He didn't have to continue, Harry understood. When you're too welled up in anger, you can't think properly, however, Harry had the feeling that it wasn't the only reason. He didn't ask him though, knowing he would tell him if he wanted to. So they kept watching.

They saw some more memories like how James came to Sirius' house the night before his wedding, drunk, and sort of seducing him, if not raping him. James and Lily's wedding ... his lost look when they took off for their honey-moon. In most of them, Harry thought what a bastard his father had been towards Sirius and yet seeing Sirius' eyes, he was no doubt still deeply in love with James. Then it happened.

Sirius was in his house not far from the Godric's Hollow, where he used to live with James but had left after James decided to marry Lily, looking worn out. His eyes were red. He clamped his mouth with his hand and ran to the direction of the bathroom. There, Harry could see him throwing his dinner up.

"What happened ... to me?" Sirius' eyes widened slightly as the realization hit him. He took his robe and tried hard on his feet walking to the St. Mungo Hospital for riding his bike in that state could cause him fell off it.

"Wait a minute!" James said, "Lily and I hadn't returned from our honey moon. He said that he-"

"That's what I want to know, Dad. Sirius was a Specialist Medi-Wizard, a pediatrician they called in the Muggle World. Of course before he took specialization, such common knowledge as the symptoms of pregnancy was taught in the university. It'd be easy for him to tell that he was pregnant. I don't think it took so long for him to realize that."

"But why he didn't tell her the truth?"

Harry shrugged and they continued to follow him. Finally Sirius managed to set his feet in the St. Mungo Hospital. He made his way through the corridor and headed straight towards the ob-gyn section, to one of his colleague.

"So why are you here, Sirius?"

"I need to check for pregnancy."

The man was shocked but soon recovered and smiled at him. "Sure. But are you ready for the result, whatever it may be?"

"I'm ready."

"Fine." He asked Sirius to lay down and muttered a few spell. His eyes widened slightly. "May I ask why do you think you're pregnant?"

"Those symptoms like morning sickness, sore body, unstable emotion ...what's the result? Am I pregnant?"

"Yes, you are, Sirius. You are pregnant."
