The room was fuzzy and dark as Cas awoke. Looking around Cas was shocked to find that she was no longer in her apartment, but back at the Burrow. Shaking, the thought that this had all been a dream crossed her mind. How cruel would it be to have to deal with the past months just to wake up at the end and it all be a dream. Trying to stand Cas' dizziness was enough proof that she had not dreamt the past months. She had not dreamt that Moody found her, that Dumbledore had forced her into the Order, that the Marauders and Lily had forced her into their friendship, that her and Sirius were not only civill but making out when no one was around, that she had finally killed her parent's murderers the day previous. The day previous? Now that she was not too sure, seeing as how she had not remembered being brought to the Burrow.
Holding tightly to bed post, Cas slowly got up and slumped herself in the arm chair beside her. Laid on the arm Cas found her mother's old jacket slung across it. Picking it up carefully, Cas noticed the singed sleeves and the blood from Sirius' dad's knuckles as he beat her repeatedly. Freezing Cas slowly held the cloth to her nose, trying to find the long gone scent of her mother. Finding none Cas sighed, however far away her parents seemed from her, she felt them in that moment. Standing up Cas slide on the jacket and looked in the mirror at her reflection like she had done so many months ago after waking up in the Burrow for the first time.
Looking at herself Cas let out a gasp of horror, her face, badly bruised as it was, held nothing in comparison to her hair, or lack there of. One section had been shaved off, revealing healing stitches. Letting out her breath slowly, Cas raised her hand to her cut, swallowing bile as she did so. Touching it made her feel better, it didn't feel as bad as it looked. And now that she thought of it, she realized her head didn't pain her at all. Shaking her head softly to her reaction, Cas continued to examine herself in the mirror. There she saw her mother so badly it hurt, for how many times had Cas witnessed her mother returning in this same jacket in this same condition. Too many to count.
Feeling lightheaded Cas swayed slightly, her hands reaching out for something to hold onto. Last minute she found and arm shoot out quickly from the previously opened doorway.
"Gotcha Cas. How about we go and sit down?" Remus asked quietly, steering Cas to the bed gently.
"Yeah, that sounds like a good idea. Thanks Rem." Cas muttered, her voice coming out scratchy.
"How are you?" Remus asked after a second or two.
"I honestly don't feel much. My injuries look pretty bad but I can barely feel them, I feel almost numb to the pain." Cas admitted, leaning her elbows on her knees as she tried to breathe.
"That's to be expected Cas, you and Sirius went through a lot last night." Remus comforted, rubbing Cas' back.
"Where is Sirius?" Cas asked nervously, after all she had just helped kill his parent's the night previous.
"Er— well, the thing is, that, well.." Remus started awkwardly.
"Tell me Remus." Cas demanded, shrugging off his hand.
"We haven't really heard from him that much. He's safe don't worry, I think he just needs to be alone right now. Pro- I mean James just went to go talk to him again. I think you both need some time, after all, two major things just happened to the both of you in the span of twelve hours." Remus explained, defending his best mate.
"Right. Yah, you're right. Can you get Moody?" Cas exhaled, rubbing her hands nervously on her pants.
"Of course, we are all down stairs when you want to join us. I'll have Lils send up some clothes." Remus responded turning to leave.
"Rem?" Cas asked just as he reached the door.
"Yeah?" Remus asked, not turning around.
Getting up as fast as she could, Cas reached for Remus across the room, pulling him close to her.
"Thank you." Cas whispered, hugging Remus closely from behind.
"It what friends do Cas." Remus responded, relaxing into her friendly embrace.
Letting go Cas nodded to herself. How she got by without friends before was a mystery to herself. Looking back, she always thought she was completely fine on her own. Only recently did she realize how naive she was. Without these people she would have no idea where she would be today.
"Lupin sent me. How are ye feeling Cassie?" Moody asked, slightly out of breath from walking up the stairs.
Not saying a word Cas flung herself into her Godfathers arms, tears bursting from her eyes. Startled by the sudden embrace, Moody relaxed and held Cas as close as possible.
"I did it Moony. I really did it." Cas kept repeating over and over again.
"Yes ye did lass. They'd be so proud of you Cassie. You've come so far over the past months. I'm proud of you. I'm also glad you didn't get yourself hurt, which reminds me. What the bloody hell were you thinking taking those two on with only Sirius as your back up? Are you bloody suicidal?" Moody exclaimed, pulling Cas away so he could stare into her eyes.
A small chuckle escaped from her lips, followed by another, and another until Cas was laughing uncontrollably.
"I bloody did it Moody! I thought this day would never come!" Cas exclaimed, ignoring Moody's anger.
Seeing the smile across his god daughter's face, Moody couldn't help but smile along with her. After all, she wasn't the only one who wanted justice for their deaths.
"Yes you did, should I be worried about this new found cockiness? You are starting to sound more and more like Black, maybe you should spend some time apart lass. He isn't the most sane match for you out there." Moody warned.
"Right, Sirius. Well, that shouldn't be a problem seeing as how he is probably going to hate me for killing his family." Cas muttered, toying with the end of her nightgown slightly.
"Cas, you did the right thing. If you didn't they would've killed you both." Moody stated automatically.
"Still doesn't change the fact that they were still his parent's. Horrible or not, they are blood. I don't know if he will want to see me anytime soon." Cas muttered, her eyes stinging at the thought.
"Well, you never know what the future will hold Cassie. Better celebrate this victory and when that Sirius pulls his head out of his ass you can deal with it then." Moody advised, sneering slightly at Sirius' name.
"Only you Moody, only you. Anyways, am I allowed to leave? I really want to go to mom and dad's graves. They deserve to be part of this, dead or not." Cas asked, slowly taking off her mom's leather jacket.
"I think you're on bed rest for a couple days, ye had a nasty cut on your head there lass. Best to take your time getting better after this battle, we will need you for the next one." Moody muttered, his head tilting as he heard a knock on the door.
"Come in." Cas called moodily, upset at the thought of not being able to leave the Burrow.
"Cas? Rem sent me up with some clothes." Lily stated as she opened the door, her hand holding a stack of clothes.
"Thanks Lils." Cas muttered, getting up to grab the clothes from Lily.
"Not so fast lass, what did I just tell you? Take it easy. I have some business with Dumbledore, but I will be around later on. Evans, do watch her will you? She has a problem with obeying orders." Moody asked, winking slightly at Cas before turning toward the door.
"No problem Moody, I happen to be engaged to someone who has the same type of problem." Lily joked, shutting the door behind Moody before launching herself at Cas.
"Oomph. Lily get your fat arse off of me!" Cas exclaimed, spitting out the vast amount of red hair from her mouth.
"Right sorry, injured. I am just so happy you're alright. You had us all worried Cas!" Lily exclaimed, tittering around Cas.
"Will you just sit? It's okay, I'm okay. Now tell me what is going on with Sirius, the truth Evans. Remus gave me some vague bullshit and I demand to know the truth. After all, I just killed the blokes parents right in front of him." Cas muttered, tugging on the edge of her nightgown awkwardly.
"Now stop right there, they may have the title as his parents, but those horrid people never acted like parents. The only people Sirius ever considered to be parents was the Potters, and you had no hand in their deaths." Lily scolded, swatting Cas slightly on the knee.
"Wotcher Lily, what is going on with Sirius?" Cas asked again, ignoring Lily's past words.
"Well, he's off being moody as per usual, but that is just typical Sirius behaviour. James has said Sirius has distanced himself a bit from him, kind of lost inside his head. But I don't really blame him, its a tough situation. But James did say he thinks he made progress on his last visit, he said he got Sirius to talk to him a bit. Which is a good sign. I think you two just need to talk, you both went through something intense together, its something that isn't going to be easily passed or forgotten but I still think you two can do it." Lily admitted truthfully.
"I sure hope so Lils." Cas nodded as her stomach let out a loud growl.
"And on that note, Molly's just made tea." Lily laughed, helping Cas out of bed.
"Brilliant. Molly's tea heals all." Cas joked, hobbling out of the room with Lily, her mother's jacket left forgotten on the chair.

It had been four days since anyone had heard from Sirius, four long days of Cas staring at the Burrow's kitchen door, praying to some unknown God for Sirius to walk through with his care free swagger. It was on that fourth day that Cas finally got cleared to leave the Burrow, and after delaying as long as possible hoping Sirius would show up, Cas left to visit her parent's grave with her closest family and friends.
Stumbling slightly from apparating, Cas landed in the cemetery that held her parent's decayed bodies. Sighing, Cas took the all too familiar path to their grave site. Reaching the headstones of their graves, Cas slumped to her knees, putting one hand on each headstone.
"I know it's been long, I know I haven't come as much as you would've wanted me to, but I had to do something before I could face you again. I needed to avenge your deaths by taking down the beasts who murdered you, I couldn't rest until I knew they were off the streets and away from innocent people they could harm. I still talk to you everyday, I'm not sure if you can hear me or not, I hope you can. Everyday I feel you around me or I see something that reminds me of you, and it makes my chest hurt deeply. Everyday I find another reason to be proud to be called your daughter, so I hope you can say you're proud of me. Especially because I did it mom and dad, I finally got the people who did this to you, who took you from me. I did it, I laid your murderers to rest and now I can finally move on from this pain that builds in me everyday. It no longer hurts as much to think of you two, I feel alive again. I hope you're somewhere safe and I hope you can hear me, I love you mom and dad. Thank you for everything you have done for me, I hope I can be half the person you two were someday." Cas whispered, crying softly as she caressed her parent's headstones.
Getting up, Cas turned to face the group of loved ones that came with her. Pulling two bottles of champagne from her bag, Cas uncorked them and passed around glasses. Filling their glasses, they turned expectantly back at Cas.
"And to you, my closest family and friends, thank you for sticking with me, even when I am at my lowest. I love each of you. You best remember this moment, because if you bring it up ever I will deny it with all my heart." Cas joked, raising her glass to her surrounding friends.
"To the Morris', To Cas!" Moody exclaimed, clanking his glass against James'.
"To the Morris', To Cas!" The rest of the group cheered, the sound of glasses clanking echoed across the grave yard.
"To the Morris', To Cas." A voice whispered behind her.
Whipping around, Cas was relieved to finally see Sirius' face again. Forgetting her anger for Sirius disappearing, Cas pulled Sirius close, hugging his body close to hers.
"If you ever pull that shit again, I will kill you Black." Cas muttered in his ear, relaxing in his firm grip.
"I'm so sorry Cas. I just couldn't face you knowing my parent's killed yours." Sirius whispered, his voice cracking slightly.
"Stop." Cas muttered, pulling away to look at Sirius. "You are not your parent's Sirius, and you will never be them. You cannot control your parent's actions, there was no way of you knowing what they did. I don't blame you, and I hope you don't blame me." Cas whispered softly, pulling Sirius' gaze to hers.
"Blame you? Merlin Cas, for saving my life? From stopping my parents from killing us both? I should be thanking you, the people I knew as parent's died long ago. My family has always been and always will be the Potter's. You know this." Sirius exclaimed, cupping Cas' face gently.
"Oy! Love birds, we are going to the pub, you in?" James hollered, relieved to see his best mate out of his apartment.
Locking eyes with Cas, Sirius nodded, smiling as James hurled himself into his arms.
"Mate, I get it. You missed my manly musk, can you let me go? The ladies will begin to question, I refuse to let you ruin my astounding reputation with the ladies." Sirius joked, prying James' arms off his body.
"Right, you're so right Padfoot. Now come, I shall take you to the finest of establishments where we shall drink until our legs fail us and our vision blurs." James stated, dragging Sirius by the arm out of the cemetery.
"Moony, Wormtail! That goes for you too!" James yelled over his shoulder at the remaining Marauders.
"That so does not go for me. No way in hell." Remus muttered walking past Cas, patting her on the shoulder as he went.
"You say that now Lupin, you know how persuasive James gets." Cas chuckled, throwing one more look over her shoulder at her parent's graves. Smiling, Cas walked after her friends, her shoulders finally feeling light for the first time in years.

"And then I said, Lass. No. Lass, look at me. I don't want to be too forward, but I am a bloody beast in bed." Remus slurred, causing James to break out in hysterics.
"Moons! You devil, I had no idea you had that in you!" James howled, patting Remus heavily on the back.
"Well, well, well. Didn't you say you weren't going to get totally loaded Rem?" Cas tutted, laughing as Remus wobbled on his bar stool.
"Oy! I would've been completely fine, if your lunatic of a friend didn't snap at me the moment I saw her." Remus stated, his hands raised in defence.
"Dorcas snapped at you?" Lily asked curiously, her eyes searching the pub for their temperamental friend.
"What'd you do this time Moons? What happened to be being a beast in bed?" James laughed, ordering more drinks.
"Women, so hot and cold. You're lucky Wormtail, stay single for the rest of your life. It would be the best decision of your life." Remus muttered sourly, taking a glass from James.
"This song is the greatest song in the world. Lets go!" Remus exclaimed, pulling James and Lily with him to the dance floor.
"A bit wild when he is intoxicated, eh Peter?" Cas joked, watching as Remus danced wildly to the music.
"It's the only time we ever see him let loose, usually he is just as up tight as McGonnagal." Peter joked, making Cas laugh.
"Cheers to that mate. He does have one thing right though, this is a wicked song!" Cas exclaimed, feeling the buzz of the fire whiskey.
"Fair maiden, care to dance?" Sirius asked, offering his hand.
"Cut that shit out right now and dance with me Black." Cas joked, slapping away Sirius' hand.
"The ladies touch does scorn." Sirius joked, finishing the rest of Peter's drink before following her onto the dance floor.
"Oy! You bastard." Peter exclaimed, sighing as he turned back to the bartender to order another drink.
"You little shit. You guys pick on him too much. What are you going to do when he finally says he's had it!" Cas teased, pulling Sirius closer.
"Enough of the boy, let us adults do what we do best." Sirius stated, smirking as he rubbed his hands up Cas' body.
"Oy! None of that sir, this happens to be my favourite song." Cas teased, pulling Sirius' hands back to her waist.
"Then dancing it is." Sirius joked, rolling his eyes and closing the gap between Cas' body and his.
The two moved in time to the music, feeling the rhythm of the song and of each others body. Quickly slick with sweat the couple grinding into each other's body, causing a warm sensation to spread wherever their bodies came into contact.
Gasping Cas grabbed Sirius' shirt, pulling him closer and closer to her as she felt his hands run up and down her body.
"What's wrong fair lady?" Sirius breathed, spinning her around until she was pinned against his body.
"N-nothing." Cas moaned slightly, feeling Sirius hardened from behind.
Pausing slightly to regain her composure, Cas began to grind slightly into the bulge in Sirius' jeans. Panting their bodies moved together, the warm sensation becoming stronger and stronger. Spinning her around, Sirius grabbed Cas' hips and roughly pulled them against his. Just as the song reached its final chorus Sirius grabbed Cas' face and brought his lips crashing down on hers, causing her to moan. The sensation grew stronger and stronger as the two kissed, the sensation warming the whole body as they moved. It wasn't until their tongues met that Cas' knees buckled slightly.
"My place. Now." Cas demanded, pulling her lips from Sirius' long enough to breathe the sentence.
His eyes clouding over in lust, Sirius nodded, placing his hand on the small of her back before leading her out of the pub. Far enough away from the pub, the two interlocked hands and apparated to Cas' flat.
Stumbling into Cas' living room, Sirius' lips found hers once again, this time more urgently. Pushing her roughly against the wall, their tongues danced causing them both to moan. The hands that were once so steady on Cas' body, had turned to a frantic pace, trying to find a way to get closer to her.
Moaning slightly, Cas smiled as Sirius' hands found the bottom of her shirt. Gasping at the skin to skin contact, Cas bucked her hips into Sirius, making him pick her up. Wrapping her legs around his waist, Cas continued to grind into his hips, causing Sirius to growl slightly.
"You are wearing too many clothes Cassie." Sirius tutted, grabbing the ends of her shirt and roughly removing it over her head.
"You shouldn't be talking Black, you're so covered you could be a nun." Cas teased, her voice coming out sexily.
"Best be changing that then." Sirius muttered huskily as he undid his belt and shimmed out of his trousers, losing his boxers as he went.
Looking down at Sirius' revealed member, the warming sensation grew stronger in Cas, causing her to gasp slightly in anticipation.
"Something wrong love?" Sirius growled in Cas' ear, rubbing his member on the outside of her pants slightly.
"Fuck me Sirius." Cas moaned, reaching for her belt urgently.
"Patience." Sirius tutted, swatting her hand away.
Laying her down on the ground gently, Sirius slowly undid her belt buckle, trailing kisses around the top of her trousers. Unzipping them slightly, he continued his kisses on the outside of her knickers, causing Cas to inhale sharply.
"Stop squirming or I'll go slower." Sirius demanded, rubbing the outside of her trousers.
Moaning slightly Cas nodded, trying to control her bucking hips. Sirius slowly slide down her trousers, revealing her knickers, his erection growing more and more as he slowly undressed Cas.
"Oh Cassie." Sirius moaned at the sight of the half dressed female.
"Fuck me." Cas pleaded, her whole body warm in anticipation.
"Oh I plan on it lass." Sirius smirked, pulling her knickers slowly down her legs, kissing her inner thigh as he went.
Satisfied with his teasing, Sirius unhooked Cas' bra until finally she was naked beneath him. Taking in her naked body, Sirius' heart pounded hard in his chest at the thought of what was about to finally happen.
Kissing slowly up her body, Sirius ran his tongue slightly over her exposed clit, taking in the very essence of Cas. Moaning, Cas' hips bucked more and more as Sirius moved his tongue faster.
"Sirius, please." Cas moaned, her fingers gripping his black locks.
"You want it love?" Sirius asked, kissing up her chest to her mouth.
"Yes." Cas breathed, pushing her tongue into his mouth.
Positioning himself slightly above her body, Sirius rubbed his member on Cas' clit, causing her to moan louder into Sirius' mouth.
"The lady gets what the lady wants." Sirius whispered before entering Cas slowly.
Moaning Cas raised her hips, taking Sirius' entire length. Feeling every inch of him inside her, Cas gripped Sirius' shoulders, her fingernails digging into his skin.
"How does that feel?" Sirius whispered huskily into her ear.
"Amazing." Cas breathed, moving her hips, sliding up and down Sirius' shaft.
Moaning, Sirius grabbed hold of Cas' legs, pushing his pulsing member in and out of her at a rapid pace. Loving every moan and whimper coming from Cas, Sirius pounded his cock faster into Cas. As Cas got more and more worked up, Sirius finally released her legs, lowering himself flush against her stomach, his thrusts more slow and drawn out.
Getting frustrated with the changed pace, Cas tightened her legs around Sirius before flipping him quickly so he was on his back and she was on top.
"Well hello there. Can't say I don't love the view." Sirius moaned, grabbing Cas' bouncing tits gently, rubbing her erected nipples slightly.
"Can't let you have all the control now can I?" Cas teased as she began to move slowly over Sirius.
"Ah, ah. None of that Sirius. If you pull that again, I'm just going to go slower." Cas teased as Sirius tried to quicken the pace.
Shock passing over his features, Sirius nodded, a slow smile stretching across his face. He had never been put in this situation before, it was always him in control. And to say he was loving it would be an understatement.
Cas smirked at his expression before quickening her pace, her body bobbing up and down over Sirius pulsing member. Sitting up Sirius grabbed her by the waist, meeting each thrust with his own. The two bodies worked together, their bodies slick with sweat and their breaths coming out in short gasps. The pace quickened as the sensation in both of them grew stronger and stronger. Crying out Cas gripped Sirius' shoulders tighter as she increased her pace more frantically. The sensation was at its peak, at an almost uncomfortable level in both of them.
Moaning together they moved faster and faster. Sirius let out a large moan as he tightened his hold on Cas' ass, his thrusts deeper and deeper as he came violently into Cas. Cas cried out as she felt the sensation push past the peak and her body came undone, shaking around Sirius member as she came shortly after Sirius.
Panting Cas got up from Sirius lap and collapsed beside him on the living room floor.
"I guess this would be a good time to ask if you wanted to be my girlfriend?" Sirius panted, crossing his arms behind his head.
"You tosser." Cas laughed, making her way to the kitchen for water.
"Is that a no then?" Sirius called, his voice still a tad husky.
"It's a yes, you twat." Cas called back, smiling to herself as she poured them both a glass of water.
It was a big fat yes.
