Title: Why?
Author: Andy
"Why, Sirius? What were you thinking!"
"I wasn't, Moony. Please let me…"
"Explain! You think you can just explain this away!"
"Moony…Remus…please"
"What could possibly be bad enough for you to tell Snape to follow
me! I could've killed him!"
"Remus!"
"Fine," Remus snarled. "Let's here your little story."
"Snape…he…he"
"Yes?" James called from his bed.
"I had been sick a lot lately andwas going to the Hospital Wing when Snape came up to me. He
started saying all these things about…about how you were a monster
who should be killed. He said he knew what you were and was going to
start some petition to put you down. And then…"
Remus and James paled at the thought of someone trying to kill the
werewolf.
"…then I got mad and started saying how he was part vampire and
maybehe should be put down. He hit me, over and over and over. I
was so sick I couldn't fight back. I forgot it was a full moon,
Moony. I promise I did. I told him to meet me at the willow."
Sirius began to sob harder, collapsing on his bed, and the other two
watched, enthralled with the sight and story before them.
"He said he would be there. I went to find Pomfrey as fast as I
could. By the time I got there I could barely move. She said it was
because of the punches to my stomach. I was…I had been…I was
pregnant, and the fight caused me to miscarry."
Two pairs of arms wrapped around the sobbing boy.
"I didn't mean for him to find you. I just wanted the pain to stop.
I'm sorry. I'm so sorry!"
Sirius cried the rest of the night, his lovers holding him close.
