Sirius walked down the stairs of Grimmauld Place with purpose. He knew instinctively that it wasn't going to be easy and if Remus had not pointed out that he was no longer alone, Sirius probably would have left Kagome on that porch. The house with the large yard lined with prim hedges and dotted with small grass flowers still called to his anxious mind.
Go back, this is a mistake. She should be there.
He also knew that every step he took with her nestled safely in his arms felt more and more right. Glancing down at the subject of his thoughts, he noted her drooping eyes and continued on his way to the study. He passed by the portrait of his mother and almost fell over. There she stood in all her prejudiced glory, out from behind the curtains. Strangely she had yet to say a word, only gazing at the bundle in arms coldly. He stared until her eyes met hers, lips lifting into an ugly sneer. "You disgrace our name" she hissed, venomously quiet before the curtains violently snapped themselves shut.
If he had thought that his dead mother could do him no more harm he was wrong. Deep down he still wanted her to look at him with something other than cold indifference but the utter loathing in her eyes, painted or not, had opened up decade-old wounds. Hurrying to the study he opened the heavy double doors, fully expecting to see Remus curled up on a chair with a book in one hand. Instead, he was greeted by an empty room.
"Audis arceo" he mumbled pointing his wand at Kagome who had fallen asleep on the walk to the study.
"Remus?" Sirius called out loudly, "Moony, I'm back and we need to talk"
There was no answer. Sirius was not a stupid man; he understood when someone had left and he knew it to be only logical. Remus had come because of Kagome and now that he thought Kagome would no longer be staying, he had gone. Sirius knew, so why did he feel so angry? Why? An awful feeling began creeping into his throat but he mentally batted it away. He knew why. Remus had said he would be there but when he needed him, he wasn't. Now, Sirius really was alone. He swallowed thickly. Well that was just fine. Bitter thoughts reached the forefront of his mind; he could manage on his own.
I'm going to have to.

So I didn't intend for this to actually happen, (fun fact) but I was writing and my brain said "wait, what if..." so this is what my brain came up with. I've been reading all the comments (firstly thank you so much for the support and suggestions!) and a few of them mentioned how short these chapters are. I would love to make them longer but right now this length is what I can comfortably work with. sometime in the future, I might rewrite this into longer chapters but for now, the length is going to have to stay as is. I apologize if some of you guys don't like the shortness and I will try harder to make them longer.
P.S Audis arceo is a deafening spell, Sirius didn't want to wake Kagome ;)
