Sorry for the long update, again! NYS Math Tests, ugh. Okay, so recap: Remus and Tonks snuck out of the room, but Victoire and Teddy are following them! Then cliffhanger! Okay, here's da chapter!
Dad closed the door before Victoire and I got to the living room. I scowled in frustration as my hand went through the doorknob I tried to grip.
"Do you think we can run through the door?" Victoire asked.
"I dunno. I reckon it won't hurt to try, but if it doesn't work and my face slams into the door, I'll blame you," I teased. She rolled her eyes at me and flipped her strawberry blonde hair out of her face. I guess I looked at her for a second too long, cause she cleared her throat and pointed at the door. I chuckled nervously and got ready to run.
I started running, and I closed my eyes as soon as I was about to reach the door. When I didn't feel the door's solid surface, I opened my eyes and was delighted to find myself in the living room. I stuck my head through the door and beckoned Victoire to come through. Her face glowed with fascination when she walked through. I caught her gaze for a moment, and we both turned away blushing.
"I'm sorry Sirius has to embarrass you," Dad said to Mum, who was sitting near the fire. Dad was leaning back against the old armchair.
"It's alright," Mum said smiling. Then she turned serious again. "So, what do you think of the leads? Do you think they're false?"
"I don't know. I expect they won't all be true," Dad said, sipping a cup of coffee.
"Right," Mum blushed as her and Dad's hands brushed as she reached for her glass of water.
They both laughed nervously and turned away from each other. They didn't notice Sirius sneak into the room. He went through us and hid behind the couch.
"So, how's it going?" Mum asked. I watched as Sirius did a soundless imitation of Mum with retarded expressions. Victoire giggled quietly from the corner.
"Good, for now. Tomorrow's the full moon again, fun," Dad said sarcastically.
Mum reached up and touched her palm to Dad's cheek for a couple seconds. Sirius decided to embarrass them further at this exact moment. He popped up from the couch while they were in that same position, and he smirked when they both jumped up, scared.
"Jeez Nymphy, I know you fancy him, but I didn't think you would feel him up that quickly!" Sirius scolded, smiling, and fell back against the couch next to where Mum was sitting.
Dad was blushing furiously, and excused himself quickly. Mum turned around to face Sirius, her eyes dark with anger, yet her tiny smile gave her up.
"Are you mad at me?" Sirius asked in a small boyish voice, but still grinning.
"No, well actually a little. Though that was quite funny," Mum smiled.
"Well, not for little Remy," Sirius said. "Did you see his face? He was as red as Ron when Hermione says something to him!" He collapsed into laughter again. "Ah, Moony is always the one to get laughs out of!"
I laughed, but I wasn't sure that Dad was so happy. He just found out that Mum fancied him. And, just like Harry said, this is the start of the denial and heart breaking.
So what'd you think? I might not be able to update tomorrow, cuz I have a dentist appointment, fun (not really). But probably the next day, so two days from now, there WILL be another chapter, I promise! Please review!
