Sirius Black entered the muggle pub he liked to women-hunt at. He was still a same walking cataclysm as in school. He looked around searching for a pray and stopped abruptly. A women clearly heart-broken and somehow familiar sat at corner. He asked the bartender for two shuts of scotch and set down next to her.
She reacted only by looking up from under her curtain of curls. "Did you come to hunt me or to laugh at me?" She whispered drain apparent in her voice.
His hand reached for her and he pushed a wave out of her face and he gasped. Now he knew who she was. He hesitated just for a moment. She was his damn death brother's baby-mama. She was a griffindor a year younger than him. Yet she newer went out with him or any womanizer at school. She kept to herself and was a mutual friend of Lilly. Only ever having a relationship wit Regulus of all people. "No, neither," he sad. He truly hoped someone else could find her hear. Why him?
He didn't know what to do about a women in her situation. He knew Reggy had major screwed up and had a son. They mother made him disown the boy and join His Lord-shit. It was during the last visit of Sirius to that damn house and all the fights then started with how a bad influence he had been on Reggy. No... At that bloody slytherin git.
She downed her and his shoot as he rose an eyebrow. Wasn't she supposed to be with... Cassius was thet's boy name... She was supposed to look after his nephew, not to sit hear. "Where is Cass?" There was no bloody way he'd call a child a name of a bloody star or constellation. Nor let it alone at home when you think about it.
"With my grandparents." She sad with an anger. But he herd another feeling mixing in it - the hopelessness.
"I can see them being happy you didn't take after your father." He sad grimly. Oh, how he mocked her about being a Lestrange and she never caved in.
"Yeah, you would know. After all you have a monopole to pure-blood knowledge." She sad mockingly.
"Well, he is my nephew." He gave her a frown. He didn't like one bit to be compared to His-Own-Bloody-Family.
"They are just so-so accepting him because Rudolphus and Rabastan are infertile and he won't bare his surname." She sad hopelessly.
Sirius choked. He didn't need to know that one. Deep down he always knew that his parents would newer allow it and with Regunus dead...
"Reggy's death. He is gone. He defied... Shit!" She stood up and stamped in the direction of toilets and then started to fell.
He grabbed her and seated her in his lap. "Sorry girl. You had enough." He made her stand up straight and stood up himself. "Come. I'll take you home." He quickly came to bar and paid for them both. She really drunk a great amount. He was curious how was she still conscious. He dragged her to the nearby deserted alley-way and appearated them to his apartment. He wonted a women today but not like this. He frowned and lied her in his bed. He'd sleep in a couch later on.
His own thoughts went to Reggy. He guessed his brother was dead bud now it was official. His damn parents excluded him even from the bloody funeral. Well, they most likely thought he wouldn't care to come anyway. He heard as she used toilet and he went over to floo.
"Hey Prongs. Hi. D'you still have some hangover potion? I'm outa' it and ran in a cheek who'd need one. No, she's not. I have a better taste, sorry. How... Well I saw a sad woman and than it was clear it's Reguluse's baby-mama... What can I say. No, I didn't. Gonna do. Prepare that potion anyway."
Sirius pooled out of the fireplace and went to check on the damsel in distress. He came in. Her stomach already calmed and she was now sound asleep. He quietly came to her and wary carefully pushed a fabric of her slave from her arm. He gulped. It was there – the Mark. Dark, not feeding and unmistakable. His wand-hand shut for his wand and he cast a wordless stupefy.
His brain was working on a top speed. Griffindor Death Eater. If this was possible than there was little left impossible. As far as he knew she was a half-blood. Lilly told him long time ago that the girl's mother was a muggle-born and even if Lestrange the girl had a nice relationship with her. Also he know there was some tragedy in the September of his seventh year. He couldn't recall the details. He needed Lilly and answers. He sighted and moved over to the fireplace.
"James? Had to stupefy her. She bares one. Can you and Lilly come? And if you have some, bring a bottle of Veritaserum. I really don't wont to test my Legilimency. I hadn't done it since childhood. Yeah, half a hover. Yeah, she sleeps right now. No, don't alarm Moody. I have a suspicion."
Miraya woke up. She was now tied up but that was part of a plan. She saw Lilly Evans, her finance James Potter and Sirius in front of the bed she lied on. No auror or Order member. That went better than expected. She tried to move herself into a more decent position than she was now in and glared daggers at Black. "I didn't ask for your help." She shotted out sarcastically. Her head hurt. Oh God! How she hated hangover. She closed her eyes and studied herself. That would've helped her to get a hold of herself.
"Here." Lilly came to her and brought a flask of hangover potion to her lips. "Drink."
It didn't came out friendly as it used to. The older woman was angry with Miraya. Miraya eyed a potion and sniffed it knowing it's use and drank it at once. "What now? If you turn me in they'll get me out. That is if they even bother. Cass won't be in any danger, but will have to stay with grandparents." Only the last part held a hint of wary.
Sirius looked as if something had been confirmed and Lilly as if she suddenly understood. Potter only took out a flask of Veritaserum and came to her. There was no way of going anywhere so she opened her mouth and was administrated tree droops. Sirius conjured up chairs for his friends and they set down. "Now why were you in the bar?" He snapped.
What a luck she knew how to circumvent that stupid potion. All you had to do was remove the memories that'd made you believe you've done something bad.
"To get to you. For Cassius. That half-blood always threatens his life and I needed a drink." She sad slowly.
James and Sirius exchanged glances "Why did you wonted to get to me? How did you know where to find me?"
"Reggy told me to do so if anything happened to him. He knew that there is only death for those who betray that half-blood. Till now there wasn't an opportunity. Now the half-blood wants a spy in the Order. I can as well spy for Dumbledor." She snorted. Lilly smiled and nodded. "Always was forced. I knew, 'course I'm a griffin and slut if you listen to them. Selfish as hell."
Sirius frowned. Bud indeed it opened new opportunity. "What will happen if you can't get to me?"
"Best scenario Cruciatus. Wors scenario the Killing curse and Cass'll live with my grandparents forever. Worst he goes after Cass." She sad solemnly.
"Why do you keep calling Him a half-blood?" James jumped in.
"Which seine proud pure-blood would have to use a pseudonym?" She laughed. Lilly giggled.
"So..." Sirius sad uncertainly. "I presume you wont to speak with the Headmaster."
She nodded. "You know... He newer hated you. He always spoke of you highly and lovingly. Even after they disowned you. In the end he turned to your side and went alone to his death."
Sirius stiffened. "That will be theme for later. Why do you have the Mark?" Lilly asked.
"Remember how my family ended? When Cass was born they came by with a proposal. Join them and we can even get married. He did but I didn't. That's why their went lightly on us. Mum, her parents and Marcus didn't make it. Victor was bitten by Grayback and escaped to hiding with father. They are still somewhere out there. So for them to stop being hunted and for the..." She broke off and tears ran down her face. "My bloody Lestrange grandparents would have taken Cass from me. There was no other way. I was only sixteen. They took custody over both of us."
"Will you attack us now?" Lilly asked.
"No." With a flick of Lilly's wand she was freed.
"How did you plan to get to Sirius?" James snapped. He wasn't as sympathetic as Lilly and by the look of it less then Sirius.
She sighted. "First get his attention in the pub. Let him take me home. Speak abut Reggy and Cassius. Make him be sympathetic to my situation. And then if possible more." She shivered.
"What situation?" Sirius sad angry.
"Unbreakable that I'll marry Severus in tree years. They already made us..." She trailed off. The Vertiserum started to ware of.
"What?" All tree snapped. Sirius angrily, James shocked and Lilly startled.
"It's already possible that I am with his chi..."
Sirius growled and abruptly left room. The door slummed shut. He was bloodthirsty. He wonted to kill. Snivillus was a good target.
"James." Lilly snapped James out of a stupor and he ran to stop his friend. Lilly turned back to Miraya who was silently crying now. "I am sorry Miry. Don't wary. It will be all right."
"Don't let him kill Sev..." Miraya bitten her lower lip. "You may not know it but he have joined to protect..." At. Lilly's questioning look she smiled sadly. "You."
Lilly's hart sunk. It wasn't that single accident everyone remembered that had ended her friendship with Snape. There was already one about joining the Order and Voldemort and so much more. She now understood why he didn't want to hear about either of them joining the Order. "Sev." She whispered broken-heartedly.
"If the half-blood ever decides to cross the line and come your way he wouldn't know what hit him."
"Shell I call the Headmaster in?" Lilly asked new determination in her face.
"Yes, pleas." Miraya sighted.
