Chapter 02.
Faith's Point of View.
It was Monday.
I didn't think more about what happened.
I went to the potions classroom. It was my next class.
Cassandra and Melissa went ahead of me.
"You're despicable, Melissa. Seriously."
"I said I was sorry!"
"Do you think you'll solve something with that?"
"Faith forgave me! Right?"
I nodded.
Melissa wasn't to blame. She wasn't thinking straight.
"I don't care. You're still a bitch."
"Come on, Cassie. Let it go!"
"I'll do it when you don't cause problems for your friends."
They kept arguing.
I didn't worried. They would reconcile soon.
They were best friends. Although it didn't look like it.
When we were arriving, someone covered my mouth and threw a cloak over me.
"Shhh."
I looked up and saw Sirius Black.
My heart skipped a beat.
He waited for the girls to leave and let me go.
"We need to talk. Come with me."
"Okay."
I had no choice.
We went to the corridor on the seventh floor.
A door appeared out of nowhere before us.
Black opened it and we went in.
It was a cozy living room. There was a fireplace in front of the sofa.
He sat down and loosened his tie.
I stared at him. I didn't know what to do.
Black raised an eyebrow.
"You can sit down, you know?"
I nodded and sat down.
I was a little away from him.
He laughed.
"You can come near. I'll not eat you."
He put a hand to the back of his neck.
"I already did, but it was unconsciously."
"Then you know it."
Black nodded.
"You said you didn't remember anything."
"It wasn't true."
"Why did you lie?"
He sighed.
"The guys wouldn't leave me alone if they knew I slept with someone."
Black ran a hand through his hair.
"I didn't lie entirely. I didn't know who I slept with."
"How did you know?"
He took a piece of parchment from his pocket.
"I found this in my room."
I took it and read it.
'Remember to do DADA's duties. Faith Maddox.'
I wrote that.
I was going to put it in Cassandra's backpack, but I forgot it.
Black smiled at me.
"Nice handwriting."
"Thank you."
He rested his cheek on the palm of his hand.
"You're so deadpanned. You never smile?"
"Of course. We all smile."
"Uh-huh…"
"You knew who I was?"
Black raised an eyebrow.
"Everyone knows. You're the only albino in this place."
"You're right. I didn't think about it until now."
He smirked.
"I regret not remembering well what happened."
"Why?"
"I'll always wonder how's your face of pleasure."
"That's a bit weird."
Black snorted.
"You're not funny."
"I know. Melissa always says it."
"How can someone like Melissa Hale be your friend?"
I shrugged. I didn't know it either.
We remained silent for a moment.
"Maddox?"
I looked at him again.
He blushed a little and put a hand to the back of his neck.
"Was this... um..."
"Yes?"
Black looked at me shyly.
"Was this your first time?"
I nodded.
He sighed.
"I figured. There was some blood on the sheets."
"I'm sorry for making them dirty."
Black shook his head.
"I'm the one who's sorry."
"Why?"
"I guess you wanted your first time to be with someone special."
I thought about Regulus Black.
I shook my head.
"It doesn't matter. I was in shock and I ran away."
He laughed.
"Wise decision. You remember something?"
"Nothing at all."
"It's better that way. I'll also forget everything."
I nodded in agreement.
"We have a deal then."
We shook hands to seal it.
"Okay. Let's go back to our lives."
We left the room.
Black covered us again with the cloak and we walked through the corridors.
I didn't ask questions. It didn't concern me.
We went to the Slytherin common room.
"Here we are."
"Thank you for coming with me."
Black smirked.
"It was a pleasure to meet you, Faith Maddox."
"Same here, Sirius Black."
I nodded in farewell and went into the common room.
I dropped on a sofa and sighed.
It was the strangest moment of my life.
I thought it would be more uncomfortable. I was glad that everything went well.
Moments later, someone entered the common room. I looked up and saw Regulus Black.
My heart raced.
"Good afternoon, Faith."
I nodded in greeting.
He went to the stairs that led to the boys' rooms.
He was going to go upstairs, but he stopped.
He turned around and looked at me.
"Are you okay?"
I looked at him curiously.
He put a hand to the back of his neck.
Both brothers were much alike.
"It didn't look like you were fine yesterday. I was worried about you."
I was moved.
"I'm fine. Thank you for worrying about me."
"It's normal. We're in the same house and..."
He smiled at me.
"You were the first person I met on the train."
We stared at each other for a moment.
He turned around.
"See you later."
He waved his hand and went upstairs.
I lay down on the couch and took a cushion. I put it on my face and squeezed it.
I was having a déjà vu.
It was different than the day before.
I was so happy I could die.
Regulus Black remembered me.
I liked him since that day. It was love at first sight.
I was smiling like a fool. Cassandra would describe it that way.
His brother would be surprised if he saw me.
I thanked him in my mind.
I didn't mind going through the same thing again if I was going to be noticed by the guy I liked.
Two months later.
"Are you sure?"
Madam Pomfrey nodded.
"Is there any chance you're wrong?"
"I did the spell three times. It was the same result in all."
She looked at me seriously.
"You're pregnant, Miss Maddox."
I felt as if You-Know-Who was in front of me.
What was I going to do now?
