Trish leaned back against her chair, staring at her father in disbelief. She could not believe her Mom had agreed to punish Sirius so badly for a few of girls who she had never even spoken to before.
Harry sensing her feelings, reached for her hand twisting his fingers through hers.
Trish sent a small smile to him before turning back to her father. "Why?"
"Why did she do it you mean?" Remus asked.
Trish nodded.
"I can't tell you exactly why, because I don't know myself. But what I can tell you is she had a soft spot for people seeking help. She couldn't say no to anyone that sought her help, or someone who needed help even when they didn't know it. Something you seemed to have inherited." Remus said with a smile looking from his daughter to her boyfriend.
They both blushed slightly under his gaze.
"He didn't deserve that though. No one does." Trish said after a few moments, "Making someone fall in love with you just to break their heart."
Remus was shaking his head before she could finish. "You two only know the adult Sirius; you have no idea what he was like in school."
"He couldn't have been -"
"He once went to Hogsmeade on a date with three different girls, one after another." Remus said.
"But- that's horrible!" Trish said distress covering her features.
Remus laughed at the looks on Trish and Harry's faces, "Sirius was a great guy, but he did need to be knocked down a few feet. Kind-of like Lily did for James."
"I don't understand though, didn't Sirius know you liked her?" Trish asked.
"No, I didn't even know I liked her at that point. I just always thought there was something different about her."
When Trish looked confused, Remus continued with the story.
A/N: New chapter! Sorry, October has been a busy month with college and scaring the crap out of people at a haunted house almost every night, but once HP7P1 comes out (I have tickets to see it at mid-night, yah!), I will definitely be in the mood to write more. Hope you enjoy this chapter, and if you like Harry/OCs check out my other story "The Sharpest Lives". I would really appreciate it.
R&R Please?
