Too Late
A Harry Potter fan-fiction by Lana Mush
Warnings: Character Death; you may need tissues, a little angsty and fluffy at the same time. (I don't even know.)
Rating: I am putting it as PG-13 for now for Char. Death, but this may change. (There will never be any language, though.)
Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter. I think we all know who does.
Info: Um… well, I've already written this fic once, but it was too short and it smelled bad, so I am rewriting it……in magnificent FLASHBACK FORM! Yay! Thank you to campanula1979, who gave me the idea.
Summary: Sirius reflects on the ups and downs of his and Dorcas's relationship as he prepares to propose.
Chapter-Specific Details: This takes place after seventh year, but before Lily and James's wedding. Dor and Red are going shopping for a wedding dress!
Chapter 3
Looking Forward to a Maybe
"Do you think this dress makes me look…chubby?" Lily asked, trying on yet another wedding dress.
"Heavens no, Lily! It looks great! But my favorite is still that one with the flowery train," Dorcas replied with a smile on her face.
"You know, Dor, it is your duty as Maid of Honor to make sure that I don't make a fool out of myself. Speaking of fools, are you and Sirius talking about a wedding? You know Peter, he always has gossip, and he mentioned something about a ring he saw on your finger," Lily said with a smirk.
"No, Peter must be going blind. Sirius hasn't said anything about that yet, but I know that he will eventually. You know how "rebellious" Sirius, I think he might be scared of settling down so soon," Dorcas said, pondering the thought. She would sometime call Sirius "her little rebel", and Sirius hated it. But he was a bit of a rebel, and he was very independent. What if he didn't want to settle down at all?
"If I married anyone, I would want it to be you, Dor," was what he had said. What if that was meant to be a subtle hint that he didn't want to get married at all? Dorcas shook the thought out of her head. She would keep looking forward to a maybe.
-End Flashback-
Lily slapped his wrist, "Oh, Paddy, you know Dorcas will say yes! She's been waiting for this moment for a long time. Moreover, I know you'll pick James to be the best man! You said so yourself last week. Oh! Maybe Harriet can be the flower girl!"
James sighed and said, "She's still convinced that my son is going to be a girl. Silly woman."
A/N
So? How was it? Was it too corny? I kinda thought it was cheesy. The next chapter will be better, I promise. It was also very short. But remember that the original WHOLE STORY was about this long. I actually finished this chapter before I finished Chapter Two. (See, I've got the whole thing planned out!) In fact, I did most of it in English class, so if I have any grammatical mistakes, then you have permission to beat me over the head with a book/sock/elephant. (I would actually prefer the sock, but I could go with the book. Not so keen on the elephant, though.) Anyway, many of you know that I am doing one more Sirius story after this. (This one is the first in the series, and "Too Late Again" is the second.) Then I will be doing stories like this for James, Remus, Peter, and maybe Lily. I know what I'm going to do for Remus (Too Early) and Peter (Too Stupid), but I'm clueless on Lily and James. Ideas?? They need to follow my "Too" theme. R&R and you shall be heard!
Luvs and kisses (If you review)
