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: I know I didn't make a flashback about the wedding. I'm sorry; I just couldn't make it fit. (Plus, this chapter was needed, and adding that one would make this fic WAY too Lily/James centric. Not cool; this is supposed to be a Sirius/Dorcas piece with a bit of Lily/James in it.
Chapter Four
Only Time Will Tell
The fireplace was sparking. Again. People had been Floo-calling all day, and frankly, Sirius was sick of it! He was trying to hang out with his girlfriend, and that was difficult when he had to keep yelling at his fireplace! Nevertheless, it could be some important Order thing, so he knelt by the fireplace and waited. After a few moments, the face of James Potter came into focus. He was smiling, his eyes bright.
"Yes, Prongs? You do know that you're interrupting my lunch date," Sirius said, pretending to be angry.
"Well," James said, a fake hurt look on his face, "I did have news, but I guess I can't share it with you since you're so busy." James knew that Sirius couldn't resist his curiosity.
"Aww…Prongs…I'm sorry, mate! Please tell me!" Sirius said, putting on his best puppy-dog face. He was good at it, being a dog animagus. James looked at him scrutinizingly for a moment until he finally broke.
"Lily is going to have a baby!"
Sirius smiled, "Well congratulations! Maybe he can be an animagus, too!"
James sighed, "Well, if we do make him one, then I would really like it if we did it legally this time."
Sirius scowled, "But that's no fun!"
James rolled his eyes and left the fireplace. Sirius scoffed and turned to Dorcas. He said, "Dor! Did you see that? He hung up on me!" Dorcas shook her head and pulled her rebel in for a hug.
"Pad?"
"Yes, Dory?"
"Do you think we'll have kids?"
"Only time will tell, Dear."
-Flashback End-
"I don't see you with a basketball in your belly! It's inside me, and I can tell it's going to be a little girl," Lily retorted. Sirius rolled his eyes and began to step out the door.
"Wait!" Lily yelled, before coming at him with a wand. She waved her wand at his tuxedo, making it crisper and much more elegant. The dog fur was gone, too. She smiled.

A/N:
Yea… I know… not that great. It's really just filler. I don't really need a nickname for Dorcas anymore. I've decided that Dor and Dory are OK, even if they might get her confused with Tonks. (And yes, she will be in Too Early!) Actually, this is the second to last chapter. Then I will do "Too Late for the Last Time", a one-shot that will be the last of the Too Late series. Thank you to all my readers, and I would LOVE some reviews!
