Chapter 19

Sirius was sitting on the ground in the back of the Evans' house. It was night and he honestly didn't know what time it was. Probably like 2:30 A.M or something. He wasn't really that tired and he liked to look at the stars and just think. People may think he was immature, but he really just liked to have fun. He also-

"Oh I'm sorry." Said a feminine voice from behind him. He turned around and stood.

"Oh no it's fine. It is your house anyway." Sirius replied kindly.

"You're Sirius Black." She stated as though it was a question.

"Well thank you for telling me my name, I almost forgot. What would I do without you?" He said, not sarcastically, but jokingly.

Clara laughed, "Oh, I don't know. Walk around like an idiot though Lily has told me you have done that in the past so I get we do know what happens."

Sirius smiled.

"I'm sorry I interrupted. I'll go back inside if-," Clara apologized.

"No it's fine, I just come here to think but, I don't do it often, so now I have a head ache."

Clara smiled and let a giggle escape. Yes, she still giggled.

"So, Sirius…Wanna take a walk?"

"At 2:40 in the morning?"

"Yeah."

"Okay."

Sirius and Clara started to walk down the dark street.

"So, not that it's weird or anything, but you have a name you don't come across everyday. Why is that you're name?" Clara asked curiously.

"Well, as much as I hate my family, don't ask, I guess part of it is because I am a wizard-,"

"True."

"-and another is because almost everyone in my family was either named after a star or a constellation."

"Wow. That's awesome. Sirius…is that…wait wait don't tell me. Dammit I knew I shouldn't have skipped Science. Dog star! Hah I knew I'd get it. Which constellation is that part of again?"

"Orion. That's my middle name."

"I wish my name had background. I mean I love Rose and Mike it's just, well I always wondered y'know? Why don't I have a real family? Didn't they-,"

"Love you?" Sirius finished. Clara looked confused as to how he would know.

"How-?"

"My parents disowned me when I was 15. I know my family line, I know my parents but I want the opposite. I wish I could forget them." Sirius scuffed his shoe on the ground as they kept walking.

"Why?"

"Okay well, you know how Lily has non-magical parents?"

"Yeah, you call us muggles right?"

"Yeah, well she is a muggleborn. James and me are Purebloods. People have issues, bad issues. They are against muggleborns and torment people like Lily and even Lily herself by calling them mudbloods.

"That's so mean!"

"I know! My Family are those people. They are cruel and mean and only look at blood even if it mean you have to marry your cousin."

"Ew."

"Yeah…so anyway, I refused to be like them, became best friends with James. They hated me ever since."

"But you said James is a pureblood. Isn't his family like that?" She asked, suddenly worried about her sister.

"No no no. The Potters, including James, are the nicest people ever. They took me in after I had no family. They are called 'Mudblood Lovers' to them but just really nice people. They don't look at blood they look at personalities like it should be."

"Wow. I'm sorry…"

"Ahh, don't worry about me."

"So isn't your family angry about you being friends with Lily?"

"Well, um, okay promise you wont kill me?"

"Um, sure…"

"Okay, well Lily James and me were a very dangerous group to be around from when we were 11 to 17. James was in love with her and would always try to impress her, which made her hate him. Lily and me just never got along because we thought each other very opposite. The three of us used to fight and fight and fight until someone got hurt which was always James. As the years went on and Lily's hate grew more for James, he asked her out everyday he saw her for 5 years. When she said no, we were immature and pranked her in anyway possible. We really made her life hell. But in 6th year we kinda cooled off though the tension between Lily and James was so thick, a hacksaw couldn't cut it. Every time Lily denied it but Remus, our other best friend, kept telling her it was sexual tension."

"You know you're telling me about my sister's sexual tension with her current boyfriend." Clara said, astounded that he wasn't embarrassed about talking about it.

"Yeah…"

"Okay, it's getting good, she never told me this. Continue…"

"Okay, so she would be like 'No way in hell am I Sexually attracted to James.' And then that's when we had a feeling that she was just in denial. See, she normally called him 'Potter' and he 'Evans' but he dropped the surname sooner then she did. Anyway, I know Lily told you about this year so, that's what happened. So now that it happened just recently, I don't think my parents will know I'm friends with Lily until at least another month."

"Wow…" Clara murmured, taking in all this information. "I have a question."

"Okay…"

"I'm hungry. Do you like food?"

Sirius looked at her in awe, and then grinned largely.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Oh Merlin that was awesome. Burger King is the man."

"No I think you're the Burger King. I can't believe you had 4 whoppers."

"I'm a growing boy Clara what do you expect?"

Clara just laughed and shook her head. They walked into the park at about 4:00 in the morning and sat on a bench.

"So, you look at the stars when you think?" she asked him.

He nodded "And the moon." He replied.

"Mhmm me too. Especially when it's full. I like full moons don't you?"

"Er- to be honest…not particularly." He said uneasily.

"Why not? It's so beautiful. Wait, you're a wizard right?"

He nodded.

"Do you not like it because there are werewolves?" she asked.

"Well, it's hard to explain. I'm not afraid of them it's just…Okay you have to promise that you wont tell anyone not even Lily."

"Okay.."

Sirius didn't know why he was telling her this but he felt like he could tell her anything.

"Remus is a werewolf."

Clara stared at him dumbfounded, "He's a what? And you're friends with him are you crazy?"

Sirius started to get angry, " You don't even know him do you? I know you're a muggle but who are you to judge? I'm sorry that I'm angry but he's only a wolf for one night every month and then a uncommonly understanding person the rest of the time."

When Sirius finished, Clara looked down, ashamed. She knew what it was like to be judged.

"I-I'm sorry…"

Sirius closed his eyes and sighed. He opened them he said, "No, I'm sorry I shouldn't have yelled like that it was a mean thing to do."

"No I guess I just forgot."

"Forgot what?"

"What it's like. When I was pregnant with Arielle, people used to stare at me, or stare at my hand because it didn't have a wedding ring on it. People just assumed that I was this slut who got herself pregnant. Which I wasn't. I was a child who got tricked thinking some creep loved me. I know what it's like to be judged. Even now I am judged when people see me with a 5 year old child." Clara was crying freely now. "I hate it so much."

Sirius did the only thing he could think of, he had seen James do it with Lily; he hugged her while she cried.

A/N: I was gonna write more but I changed my mind and I'll let you squirm. Are they getting together? Or are they not? I don't know…well, actually I do but…whatever.

Review please; it'll make the process go faster!
