Chapter 38 – Quieten down, Sirius
The next morning when Larissa woke up, Remus and Tonks were gone, but she suspected that they had wanted to give her and Sirius some space. She got out of bed, and dragged a brush through her long tangled black hair. She then put on her dressing gown and slippers, and went downstairs. She heard someone in the kitchen, she then heard a crash and her dad curse rather loudly, she smiled slightly and went down to him.
He turned around, and saw her, he smiled sheepishly guessing that she had heard all the commotion. She went over to him, and gave him a hug. He stroked her hair, and she took his hand and lead him out of the kitchen and up into the dining room.
'Morning,' he said
'Morning dad,'
'I'll just get Kreature to cook the breakfast then, Kreature!'
Larissa's breath caught in her throat at the mention of Kreature, she couldn't tell her father just yet, as Sirius tended to be rather hot-headed, and would dismiss Kreature immediately, and he knew too much to be set free.
She nodded, and waited for Kreature to bring them breakfast. But she was trying to at least be civil to Kreature when he came, but seeing as he tried to get them all killed, it was proving rather difficult. She was normally so nice to him, but now, she didn't even say thank you when he put her food on the table in front of her.
'What's wrong?' Sirius asked, noticing her strange behaviour
'It's nothing dad,' she said, forcing a smile
'Tell me!'
'I would, but...'
'But?'
'You tend to be rather hot-headed.'
Sirius looked at her indignantly, 'I do not!'
'Oh yeah? Well...' she paused as if pretending to think, 'for example, what would you do if I told you that Kreature had tried to get Harry and us killed?'
'HE WHAT?'
'What would you do?' she asked calmly
'GIVE HIM CLOTHES.' He stood up from the table,
'Dad, it was only an example,' she said, rushing over to sit him back at the table. 'What are we going to do about Snowbelle and the kittens? They're still at school.'
'I'll floo Dumbledore later today,'
'Okay, I still need to decide what to do with them,'
'What do you mean?'
'Well, I now have six cats, and this house is very big, and they could get lost or hurt, and no one would know, or anything,'
'How'd you come up with that?'
'Mum tol-' she fell silent, and went back to eating her breakfast.

That night, Larissa was lying in bed, surrounded by kittens when she heard voices downstairs, she quietly got out of bed, and slipped out of her bedroom, and down the stairs and stopped just outside the drawing room door, she put her ear to the door, and listened.
'If you would just consider it Pads,' a voice that Larissa recognised as Remus' was saying
'THIS IS MY BLOODY HOUSE AND I AM NOT CHANGING THE BLOODY WARDS REMUS!' her father shouted, Larissa reconciled a little,
'She's not coming back Sirius,'
'YOU THINK I DON'T KNOW THAT?'
'Mad Eye was only thinking of our safety,'
'WHO THE FUCK CARES?'
'Could you please be quiet Sirius, Larissa is asleep upstairs.'
'NO! SHE'S MY DAUGHTER NOT YOURS, AND THIS IS MY HOUSE AND I WILL SHOUT IF I BLOODY WELL WANT TO!'
'Calm down, you're over reacting,'
'I AM NOT!'
'Then your drunk,'
'Am not!' he said a little more quietly,
'Well then, why are you trying to yell the house down?'
'I'm angry.' He replied, before throwing the door open, causing Larissa to run into the shadows, he shoved Remus out of the room, before slamming the door. Remus shook his head, sighing, and then headed for the front door.
Larissa rushed back up to her bedroom, as soon as she heard the door close, and closed her eyes breathing heavily, she didn't think she'd ever heard her father so angry, Remus was right; he was either over reacting, or drunk.
She closed her eyes and tried, in vain, to get back to sleep, although she did finally manage to a few hours later.
A/N: Did you like it? I was going to have Sirius doing some sort of crying, but I thought that him yelling and Remus trying to make peace was much more interesting!
