After that evening when Sirius watched Ally we didn't exactly become friends, but we talked a few times, especially when Ally wanted to play with Uncle Siri. This was one of those times, the rest of the marauders were off doing something else, and Sirius was sitting here with me and Ally. We were catching up on old times,
"So do you still live at home with your family?" I asked him, as Ally crawled up his back,
"No I moved out this past summer, I couldn't deal with their pureblood shi-" He cut himself off, "-crap anymore, so I moved in with James. How about you?" I shook my head,
"After, well you know…" I gestured to Ally, "…I was kicked out and went to live with my grandmother. She passed away this summer, so that's why Ally's here with me." He nodded, and Ally whined,
"Mommy I has to go potty!" I laughed, and picked her up taking to her to the bathroom.
Sirius' POV
I watched as Chloe carried Ally away and felt my heart sink a little. Half of my wanted to be in Ally's life, and that part grew and grew every time I saw her, but there was always a small part of me that didn't want to have the responsibilities of being a father. I sat back with a loud sigh, just as the rest of my friends walked in. James sat down next to me and said,
"So where's your kid?" My heart started racing, Did they know?
"What are you talking about?" I asked, trying to sound nonchalant,
"Well every time I see you anymore, you are hanging out with Chloe and playing with the kid. I figured you were now Mr. Step-dad." Before I could say anything Remus cut in,
"You also can't deny the kid looks like you and has your attitude." I rolled my eyes and replied,
"What are you guys on? She looks nothing like me, and besides I'm just playing nice with the kid so I can get to Chloe. I mean haven't you noticed how fine she is?" After I said that I saw a head of blonde hair run through the common room and out the portrait, carrying a little girl in her arms.
Chloe's POV
I should've known. Sirius wanted what Sirius had always wanted, and it didn't matter who he had to deceive and hurt to get it. I continued running until we finally reached the astronomy tower, and I sat Ally down. She walked over the window and looked up at the starry sky. She pointed at a random star and said,
"Mommy look how pwetty!" I nodded trying to stop myself from crying in front of Ally, but she noticed anyway.
I sank down to the floor and she crawled into my lap, wrapping her arms around my neck.
"Don't cry mommy!" She tried to wipe my tears away, and I thought,
Why am I crying? I knew what a player Sirius was and I knew he didn't want to be a father to Ally. So why am I so upset?
I sat up and smiled at Ally. I gave her a big hug, and said,
"So what were you trying to me Ally?" Her three-year old mind took over and she ran over to the stone window, pointing at a star,
"See mommy it's so pwetty!"
For the next few weeks I avoided Sirius, and focused on my classes. Ally kept asking me where Uncle Siri was, but I didn't have the heart to tell her she probably wouldn't be seeing Uncle Siri anymore. Instead I told her that he's just been very, very busy lately.
It had been hectic lately, and with Halloween fast approaching I still needed to figure out where I was going to get Ally's costume.
Sirius' POV
It had been a few weeks since Ally had overheard me talking to the guys and I still hadn't been able to talk to her. Every time I saw her in the castle she ran off before I could catch up to her. I knew she was avoiding me, and I didn't know how I could even begin to apologize to her. I hadn't been thinking when I had said those things that night. Finally I decided I needed someone's help, so I went to Remus.
I found him in his Head Boy room, and I sat down on the couch. He looked up from the book he was reading, and said,
"What's up Padfoot?" I twisted my hands nervously, and said,
"Well I have this problem, and James would have a field day if I went to him so…" I nodded for me to continue, "You know Ally and Chloe? Well Ally is my daughter." He raised his eyebrows, but didn't seem too surprised,
"Please explain."
"Well we met in France when we were thirteen…" I told him the tale, all the way until I walked away from a pregnant Chloe,
"Wow Sirius, that's not good. How could you leave her pregnant at 13?"
"I wasn't thinking, I just didn't think I could be a dad at 13. Anyway she heard what I said to you and James a few weeks back about using Ally to sleep with her, and now she won't talk to me."
"I don't blame her, so what are you going to do?" I shook my head,
"I don't know that's why I came to you. I don't know what could make up for what I said."
"Well what's important to her?"
"That's easy Ally. Nothing is more important to her." Then I saw a stack of Halloween fliers on Remus' desk, "Wait I got it I know what to do. Thanks Mooney, and please don't tell anyone about this just yet?" He nodded, and went back to his book.
I knew what I was going to do make it up to Chloe, I just had to make a few plans before Halloween night came around.
