Just Between Us
A/n: This story is no longer just about Sirius and Isabella it is now just a general marauder story narrated between Isabella and Sirius. Thank you, for reading this!
Sirius' point of View
Ugh, History of Magic! Remind me why I didn't quit? Oh, yea 'cause Remus thought it was important. "And the goblins," Binns drawled on.
'Blah, Blah, Blah' I thought to myself.
My eyelids began to droop and I drifted into a slumber.
A ten year old Sirius was walking towards a house. Number 14, Grimauld place to be exact. He knocked on the door. No answer. Sirius sighed to himself and walked in anyway. He heard strange noises coming from his friend's room. His friend was Isabella. "Isabella!" he heard her dad exclaim!
"Father daughter bonding," Sirius muttered to himself before leaving the house.
Sirius walked the streets for an hour or so before re-entering the house. He walked into Isabella's room knowing she wouldn't care. But the sight that greeted him wasn't one of pleasantness. Isabella lay battered and bruised on the floor. She was moaning but not loudly. From the looks of it she had bruises all over a broken wrist, a broken leg, broken ribs, and a cracked skull. Then it hit Sirius her father had beat her up. "Isabella!" Sirius cried, picking her up in his arms.
Both Isabella's family and the Black family had yelled at their kids, but never had the physical abuse started. "Sirius," Isabella whimpered, "Tell my-my-my mom I lo-ove her." She croaked.
"I will, but you've got to make it Isabella you've got to!" Sirius shouted.
"Sirius I love you too, you are my best friend, when I die take the locket to remember me by. Never forget me Sirius!" Isabella said her last words before all life was taken from her.
She fell limp and lifeless in Sirius' arms. "No!" he yelled sobbing.
Mrs. McKinnon, Isabella's mo, entered the room and saw her dead daughter and her friend. "What happened?" She yelled, tears running down her face at a fast race.
Sirius told all her knew and at the end Mrs. McKinnon was sobbing hysterically. Together Sirius and Mrs. McKinnon took Isabella to St. Mungos. There, Isabella was proclaimed dead and covered in white sheets. "WAIT!" a healer yelled, running into the room.
"I have a potion to bring her to life!" he shouted.
Everyone in the room was silent at the excellent news. "But, there is one catch," The doctor sadly said. "She'll lose her memory and will have to live a different life."
The room became grim at that before Mrs. McKinnon spoke. "Well than we'll take it. Let her live!"
The doctor nodded, "Before she takes the potion lets discuss her new life. She'll think she is a muggle. And live at a muggle orphanage, thinking she has since she was two. She'll earn a new last name, maybe even first name. And you all have to be out of the room when she takes the potion."
"O, my!" The mother exclaimed.
"Let, let me say goodbye," Sirius said.
"I'll leave you three alone," The healer said.
"Goodbye, Isabella, you will always be my best friend." Sirius said, taking the locket but leaving half behind.
"Goodbye, my daughter, I love you beyond anything, you are in my heart!" Mrs. McKinnon said, kissing her daughter on the forehead.
Mrs. McKinnon apparated out of the hospital room. "Goodbye, Isabella," Sirius whispered.
Once he had exited the hospital Sirius broke into a run, tears streaming down his face. To him Isabella was dead. He ran for miles until he was no longer in the heart of London. He cut himself on twigs and branches a couple of times and probably looked like a mess. It was snowing thoroughly, but Sirius didn't care. He ran until he collapsed at in a heap. Before him was a mansion. Sirius looked up at the mansion. It was surely a wizard house. There was Freaky Warlocks' Christmas music playing in the background. He saw a Quidditch pitch in the backyard. Sirius climbed to his feet and walked to the door. His teeth were chattering non-stop and he felt any moment he might collapse. Using all the energy he had he walked a few more steps and rang the doorbell before collapsing on the ground again. He heard footsteps and tried to regain his balance. Before he could the door opened and a tall, beautiful woman stood at the threshold. She had auburn red hair and lovely brown eyes. "Hello?" She said, before seeing Sirius on the ground, "Oh, you poor dear!"
"H-hi," Sirius said weakly.
"Come in," the woman said.
"I-okay," Sirius said getting up and stepping into the house.
The woman led him down a long hallway and finally into a gigantic living room. She sat him down on a chair near the fire. A house-elf appeared instantly. "Nellie, would you mind getting a blanket and hot chocolate for this boy?" The woman asked kindly.
"I'd be honored!" Nellie squeaked excitedly, disappearing with a pop.
In no longer than a second Nellie was back. Once Sirius was wrapped up in a blanket and was holding a steaming cup of hot chocolate, the woman began to talk. "I am Mrs. Potter where do you live?" She asked kindly.
"I am Sirius Black and I live at Grimauld Place number 12," Sirius said.
"Well I'll tell you what you can stay the night here and talk to my son James he is your age." Mrs. Potter said.
Maria will lead you to a guest room and you can bathe and she'll give you fresh clothes. A house-elf presumably, Maria, appeared upon request. "Right this way, young Sir," Maria said pulling him in a circular dome. In a crack the two disappeared two the third level of the house. Maria explained immediately. "The second level is the master bedroom, the third is guests, the fourth is a pool, the fifth is James, and the sixth floor is the ball room".
"Wow," Sirius muttered, "Please call me, Sirius," he added.
"Alright, Sirius," Maria said happily, "This is your room for now," She opened a door and Sirius was in love. The room was a gray-blue. It was a spacious room with a connecting bathroom and a tunnel leading to the fifth level. There was a gray king-sized bed and a bean bag chair. Their was a broom closet with a comet sixty and broom gear and a closet filled with clothes. Their was also magazines and a music box. "It's not usually like this but, Mrs. Potter has taken a liking to you," Maria explained.
"Wow," Sirius said again.
Maria led him to the bathroom. There was a shower, a pool-sized-tub and a counter with a sink. Here are spare clothes Maria said pointing to a stack of clothes. "Enjoy!" She said before leaving.
Sirius turned the knobs on the tub bubbles and hot water came out. Music filled the room and a hot towel appeared. Sirius undressed and climbed into the tub. His dirty clothes made their way into the laundry bin. Once in the tub a tray appeared there was a magazine and a selection of soaps. Sirius picked out Serenity Soap and immediately all the others disappeared. Shampoos and conditioners appeared in their spot. Sirius picked watermelon wizard conditioner and shampoo set. Sirius put on the soap and did a few laps in the pool-tub. After washing his hair, Sirius resignedly got out. When he was fully clothed he re-entered his room. Maria was waiting, "Now you meet James," Maria said leading him to a circular dome. Once they were in the fifth level a door appeared.
Maria led him into the room. Sirius gasped. It was his dream room. There was a living room that belonged to the young potter alone. There were chairs and sofas, a fire, a small table with chairs, a desk, a gigantic window and a staircase. Maria brought Sirius up the staircase leading to James' Room. The room was a royal red. Their was a wimbourne Wasps poster and two king-sized beds. There was a clothes closet, a broom closet, a bathroom, two bean bag chairs, and a music box. A boy with messy-black hair and glasses lay on the bed. "Oh, hi, Maria," he said happily. "I'm quite bored do you think we could try cooking again?" James asked not seeing Sirius.
"James, we have a quest, his name is Sirius." Maria said.
James blinked and saw Sirius, "Oh, hey mate!"
It was best-friends at first sight. Maria left and the two boys talked all night and played quidditch all day, until Sirius had to leave.
Sirius woke up as the bell rang and James grinned, "Falling asleep in classes again, mate?"
"Yea," Sirius said smirking, "I had a dream of when we first met."
James smiled, "Ah, yes, we were young, care-free, and innocent."
From behind the two Remus snorted, "You two? Innocent?"
The three grinned.
