KEEP IN MIND THERE IS A SMALL 'M' PART IN HERE.

"Athena? What are you doing here?" Remus wondered, glaring at his best mate. "Sirius?"

My fiancé jumped to his feet, with an innocent look on his face. Well, the most innocent look he could pull off. "Now Moony, it is not what you might be thinking." Glancing back at me, he gave me an apologetic look. "Could you give us a moment please?"

"Yes, of course." Giving him a small smile, I walked out into the living room. Deciding on picking up the book I was reading before, I curled up in the armchair and began to read.

WITH SIRIUS:

"What the hell are you doing Sirius?!" Remus growled. "She is just a girl!"

"Before you go all wolf on me. Here." He handed him the paper. "That will explain a lot."

Remus's expressions changed from anger to shock to anger again. "Marriage! When the hell did this happened!?"

Sirius shrugged. "Her father said it was around the time I was 15. Mother bonded the contract so I was to marry the first daughter they had." Seeing the question in his eyes, Sirius shook his head. "No, I cannot break it. If either one of us ejects, we will both be stripped of our magic."

Remus sighed. "Let me take this and see what I can find out. Who knows maybe I can find a fault within."

Sirius nodded, falling onto his chair. "Moony is it wrong to be attracted to her?" Remus raised an eyebrow. "Yes I know, she is young and from what she has told me, she has never had a relationship. But I cannot deny she is very beautiful and easy to talk with."

Remus chuckled. "Trend lightly my friend. Athena is one of my best students."

Sirius leaned forward. "Tell me about her."

"Well, she may seem shy at first, but don't let that fool her. She came out of her shell after meeting the three musketeers. She helped Hermione fight off Malfoy a few times. The girl is talented with the wand, loves to read, sing, and animals. Hagrid and her are always getting in trouble, for bring in strays." The duo chuckled. "Did she tell you?"

"Tell me what?"

Remus smirked. "She too has an animagus form. From what I have been told, she loves to shift."

"Are you serious?" He grinned.

Remus returned the grin. "No, you are."

"Moony."

"Alright, alright. You might want to ask what she is. I don't even know." Remus frowned.

Sirius glanced at him questionably. "Then how do you know she is what she is?"

"I'm a werewolf Padfoot. My little nose tells me everything." Rolling the contract, he placed it into his pocket. "Well, I should get going. Tonks is waiting for me." Before he walked into the floo, he turned and pinned his best friend with a serious look. "Sirius that girl has been through a lot. Behave yourself, at least until she is ready."

Looking towards the door and back at him, he nodded. "You have my word, Remus." Not waiting to see his friend completely off, he trailed into the living rooms. The sight before him brought a smile to his face. Athena was curled up in his chair. Her head leaning to the side, deep asleep. A book laid on her chest, the flames lighting up her pretty face. Walking up to her, he carefully grabbed the book and placed it on the table. Hooking an arm under her legs and the other across her back, he lifted her. Frowning at the small whimper she gave him. "Shhh, shhh, you're okay." He debated either to place her on his bed or in a guest room. Picking the latter, he made sure the bed was ready and slowly laid her down. tucking her in, he couldn't help but stare at her. She was very beautiful, but this was all wrong. Kissing her lightly on the forehead he walked out.

Sirius sat in the same chair, Athena did before. He was looking into the fire as it devoured the wood. This was not how he planned on getting a wife. If he ever wanted one. She was young and he knew it was wrong. He couldn't help but see them together. The marriage, the kids, their life, although he would have liked it to be different, he had to make due. She was shy and a bit scared, he knew that much. But, then again who wouldn't? She had her life ahead of her, and he was well past half of his. He knew this was the only way for the moment. Moony would help them find an exit, but then it got him thinking. If they didn't do this and saved their magic, her father would happily hand her over to Malfoy. Now he couldn't allow that, regardless of how he looked at it, them getting married was the only way to keep her safe. Well as safe as this timeline is. They still had the dark lord on the loose and his death eaters. Shutting off the lights and let the fire burn off and trailed off to bed. Tomorrow was going to be an eventful day.

ATHENA'S POV:

I woke a bit dazed, not remembering where I was. That was until it all came flashing to me. My engagement, meeting my fiancé, my fiancé being Sirius Black. Glancing around I knew I was in a guest room. Stopping to see the time, I frowned. It was past seven and I haven't even started breakfast. Jumping to my feet, I was quick to change and run downstairs. Freezing at seeing Sirius sitting at the table, with a coffee and paper.

"I'm sorry sir." I whispered.

Sirius looked up confused. "What? Sorry for what?"

Looking at him, not in the eyes, I sighed. "Not having breakfast ready. Won't happen again."

"What?" Folding the paper, he stood. Gently grabbing my chin, he coaxed me to look up at him. "You have nothing to be sorry for love. Nor do you have to get up and cook for me. That's why I have kreature. Did your father teach you this?"

I nodded. "He was at the table by seven, mother and I must have the food ready for him."

"Not here. Not anymore. You sleep in and wake when you like. In this marriage we are equals. No more getting up at seven to cook. You hear me?" He whispered.

"Yes sir."

"And no more sir please, makes me feel older than I am."

Chuckling to myself, I trailed towards the coffee machine. As I sat down, I looked everywhere, but at him. That was until I heard a chuckle. "What?" I asked.

"Nothing love." Putting his paperback down, he turned his attention back to me. "Now when would you like to grab your things?"

I then remember I was now living here. "What time are Harry and the others arriving?"

Sirius for some reason turned serious. "Well they will not be arriving at this house, but at another one, I have in the middle of London. We will be going there later today. The Weasley's will arrive first, but Harry will take about three days to arrive."

Although a bit confused I nodded. All of this secrecy had to do with Voldemort and his vendetta with Harry. "I would like to grab them before we leave, but I do not wish to see my father."

"No worries, I will send Kreature for them." Sirius smiled, picking up his paper once more.

I could shake off the feeling that I was stealing the man's freedom. He was only being nice because he had no other choice. "Sirius?"

"Hmm?"

"May I ask you something?"

The man looked up once more. "Of course. What is it?"

"Are you upset about all of this?" I hated sounding so...so...weak!

Folding the paper, he locked eyes with me. "I was at first, but not for the reason you think. I was upset at how it was all being handled. The contract behind our backs and traps placed within. You are only a teenager, with a lot to live for. I mean you haven't even finished school. I am a man, who in full honest is a drunk and womanizer. Not to mention I am more broken than a shattered plate. I have demons Athena and that is something you should not worry about. Marriage is not something you should be worrying about. Your focus should be on school and friends, not me and children. That is what I am upset about, but not with you."

Giving him a small smile, I looked away. "Forgive me for intruding, but what happened to you in that place?" Seeing his eyes darken and his face slightly paled, I regretted asking. "Forgive me, Sirius. I should have not asked that." Getting up to leave, a warm handed landed on mine.

"No." he whispered. "It's fine, simply took me by surprise. Constant torture and Dementors sweeping by taking every last happy thought. But I held on to my sane and once I was away, I was able to breathe once more."

Knowing that was all I would get, I was quick to change the subject. "So you are part of the Order?" He seemed surprised. "I am Harry's friend and have been with him since day one. That and father's brother was a member."

Chuckling, he nodded. "Yes. Along with Remus and his wife Tonks."

Speaking of Remus. "Mind if I asked, what did he say last night?"

"Well after cursing me off and then threatening me, I was able to show him the contract. He then went on, about your age and me behaving. He took the contract, wants to see if he can find something, to break it." He paused for a moment, before grabbing my hand. "I was thinking this over last night and I believe it is best if we simply go along."

"Why?"

"If we reject, our magic is stripped and you are married off to Malfoy." He stated. "If we find a safe way to break it, your father will simply pass you to Malfoy."

"So what you are saying is either marry you or marry Malfoy." I said.

"Yes."

Looking at him, I couldn't deny he was attractive. Lucius was a death eater, worked for Voldemort. Sirius was kind and sweet, seemed like he really cared for me. Why? I didn't know. Lucius the few times I have seen has tried to force himself onto me. Mother has stopped the first two times, Harry the third and my dog the fourth. Father never believed me. But looking into this man's eyes, I knew he would never do such things, and hopefully, he would protect me. "Alright." I whispered.

Grinning he gave me a small kiss on the cheek. "I am going to take a shower and have Kreature fetch your belongings."

I then remembered. "Would it be possible to bring my dogs?"

Sirius paused for a moment. "Eh, how are they with other dogs?" I quirked an eyebrow. "Love I am a dog and Remus is a werewolf."

"They do well." I assured.

Nodding he sighed. "As long as they stay outside."

"Thank you." Jogging towards my room, I laid in bed. So far so good. I couldn't wait to see the Weasley's, Hermione and Harry. I haven't seen them since last year, simply sending letters to one another. Come to think of it, I don't remember telling them who I was to marry. God, they are going to freak!

Although almost everyone outside our little group didn't believe Harry we still did. If he said that son of a bitch was back, then he was back. Besides, how else would you explain the goblet of fire? It was him who tampered with it, simply to get ahold of Harry. But we were ready, come who may, we were going to tear them apart. Harry didn't stand alone; he had me, Ron, and Hermione. Along with everyone else. If Voldemort wanted Harry, he was going to have to get through all of us.

"Athena?"

The voice pulled me out of my black thoughts. "Yes?"

"Can you please come down?" Sirius held a weary tone.

Frowned I slowly walked down, only to see my fiancé and two dogs. "Hey!" Both animals snapped towards me and bolted. The weight crashing into me and sending me to the floor. "Oi! Get off me."

"You know when you said dogs, I was expecting something else." He grumbled.

"What?" I asked, pushing the black one's mouth away.

Sirius gave me a look. "Well, it wasn't wolves."

For some reason, I felt ashamed. "I'm sorry sir. I have had them since pups and well I have always seen them like dogs."

"Please stop with the sir." Walked up to me, he pulled me into a hug. "Whatever your father has forced onto you, forget it."

"But-"

"But nothing." Pulling back and looking into my eyes, he grinned. "Be you. Do what you like and live how you like. No restraints and no punishments. I am not like your father Athena and this is not a prison. You can come and go as you please and have friends over. No calling me sir or Mr. Black. No formalities between us. We are getting married after all."

I tried not to cringe at the mention of marriage. "Okay."

"Right then, I have to leave for a bit. Have to get the Grimard house ready." He reached for his coat, before looking back at me. "Will you be alright here alone?"

"Yes, sir-I mean Sirius." Blushing I looked away. "I have Gryffindor and Slytherin."

On the other hand, he simply chuckled. "I'll see you in a bit."

Taking a seat at the table, I went over my life. Just last year we found out Voldemort was back. How? We don't know. Then I go back home and suffer the wrath of my father and to tell you the truth, I rather be facing giant spiders than him. Then I get word I am to get married, at first, I was afraid it would be Lucius. Thankfully it wasn't, but still, I was afraid. Sirius seemed to be on edge. Like a ticking time bomb. For some reason, it seemed like he was just waiting for something to set him off. That was what I was afraid of, being the one to set it off. Besides, he may be respectful and kind now, but what's to say once we get married he won't be such a gentleman. But he was right, if we somehow find a way around it, father would simply pass me over to Malfoy. That caused me even more fear. I have seen his wife and knew what he was capable of. So I'll simply suck it up and be the wife my mother taught me to be. Sighing I decided to occupy myself with a little cleaning. Right after I took the dogs outside. Normally I'd use magic but decided to go old school. I hadn't realized how long I have been cleaning until Sirius suddenly appeared. The man caused me to yelp and fall backward, before I could hit the ground, an arm reached out to grab me and pull me into a hard chest.

"Careful love." He smiled.

His breath ghosted over my face, sending shivers down my back. he was so close, the smell of his cologne was intoxicating. "Thank you." I was hoping my voice didn't come out shaky.

"Anytime." Straighten up, he glanced around. "You've been busy."

Trying to ignore the fact that he has yet to let go, I nodded. "You don't mind?"

Sirius shook his head. "Not at all, I have been meaning to get some cleaning down. Kreature can do only so much." Squeezing my waist, he let go and jogged up the stairs leaving me very confused.

"What the hell was that?" Shaking the thought away, I decided on taking a shower. I mean I was going to see my family today. As I walked by Sirius's room, I heard some noise. Pausing I debated to look or leave, maybe something was wrong and I could help. Pushing the door enough to look in I froze. There fully dressed laying on the bed was Sirius. But the wizard had his long and rather large member out, stroking it hard. Small moans spilling from his mouth. I was fixated on seeing what I was seeing, I have never seen a man's dick. Let alone one at full attention. Just as I was about to leave, his breathing began to pick up and his groaning got somewhat louder. Not knowing at first why I gasped slightly at seeing him cum. It took a few good seconds before he stopped. Pulling the door back I walked away, red in the face and somewhat turned on. Walking into my room I quickly jumped into the shower. surprised to find I was soaking! You know down there. Could he have that much of an effect on me? oh, Merlin please help me.

WITH SIRIUS:

As he released the young girl, he all, but ran up to his room. The last thing he wanted her to see was his little problem. Closing the door behind him-or so he thought-he laid in his bed. How could he be so affected by her, he was simply holding her. it's not like he hasn't shagged since he was free. Before her, his last good shag was two days ago. She was just a girl! No older than Harry or Hermione for Merlin's sake! Yet his damn body didn't seem to understand that, as his cock throbbed between his legs. He knew there were only two ways to calm himself. One sex, which was not an option now. Two do it himself, with a heavy sigh he pulled himself out of his trousers and began to stroke. He was quite shocked at the amount of pre-cum he had. 'That's a first' He thought. His thoughts were of the last woman he had, yet somewhere along the way, they turned to the girl. Her body laid out below him, hair splayed across his pillow, nails digging into his back, the feel of her skin on his lips. Groaning at how close he was, Sirius didn't miss the sound of his door opening. He knew he should stop, but he couldn't. Not now. What did it was imagining her scream his name as she came undone under him. Hearing the small gasp caused him a small smirk. Granted this was not the way he wanted her to see him, but he never was one for formalities. Waiting until he heard her close her bedroom door, he stood and decided a shower was in order.
