Chapter 10. Happiness and Sadness
PreviouslySirius said turning to Cassandra, "You'll apologize!"
"I can't." She said turning away.
"You can." Sirius said.
"I won't!" Cassandra announced loudly in defiance.
"You will!" Sirius shouted in her face. Cassandra nodded, intimidated. They walked down to the hospital wing to check on Cathryn…
"Will she be ok, Poppy?" Dumbledor inquired as soon as he came in.
"She'll be fine, Albus." The nurse replied, applying a cold cloth to the girl's hot forehead.
"That's great!" Sirius said taking a seat next to the girl, "Sit." He commanded to Cassandra who reluctantly replied.
When Cathryn awoke she looked around to see where she was, and visibly paled when she saw Cassandra.
"Listen Katie…" Cassandra began.
"Try again!" Sirius said.
"Cathryn." Cassandra spat, "I'm sorry I treated you like shit, I'm in love with Sirius and I know you are too."
"No I'm not." Cathryn said.
"You aren't?" Cassandra inquired surprised.
"I like him, but I don't love him. Not yet." She added.
"Cassandra." Dumbledor said, "Your apology is appreciated, but I would ask you to stay away from Cathryn and her new friends, if that's ok."
"Yes sir." The girl responded downcast. With this she left, and Sirius and Cathryn didn't hear or see much of her ever again.
"Cathryn, I like you too, a lot, and I think I could love you some day, would you like to go out?" Sirius asked nervously. Remus, Peter, and James giggled to themselves.
"Oh hush." Dumbledor whispered to them, giving them each a gumdrop.
"I'd love to." Cathryn said…
"And then what happened?" Harry Potter inquired to his godfather.
"Well, we went out for awhile, then I graduated, but she stayed with me over the summer, so we still saw each other. She pretty much got over the stress caused by her father, and a year after your parents got married, Cathryn and I did too." Sirius said. Then he got up and looked out the window.
"You're married?" Hermione asked
"Yes, I was!" Sirius said
"Sorry, wrong emphasis, you're married?" Hermione asked again.
"I was!" Sirius corrected bitterly.
"What happened to her?" Ron asked quietly.
"She died." Sirius said quietly walking upstairs to be with Buckbeak.
AN: Yes I know, another short one, but there's only likely to be one more chapter, just so Harry, Ron, and Hermione can find out how Cathryn died. No one be upset, this is what war is. As you can tell, this is set Pre Sirius' death and Pre HBP.
