Sirius reached out and smoothed back a light strand of hair from Jennie's nose and she sighed and moved closer to him but stayed asleep. He smiled, kissed her cheek and moved carefully out of the bed, dressed in dark jeans and a grey shirt and headed downstairs to make breakfast.
In the kitchen he noticed a letter lying on the table and it was addressed to him. Curious, he checked it for any unpleasant spell or potion but found none, so he opened it and read the written words and suddenly felt that he wasn't hungry anymore.
"Morning tall, dark and sexy… why are you down here all dressed?"
Arms around him, lips against his shoulder and then warm breath over his back as Jennie hugged him.
"Morning… I was about to make us breakfast in bed… I got this."
She moved and took the letter and read it and smiled at up him, and he kissed her and she grinned.
"I have to owl Remus! Oh, shit, we still have to tell Harry! Fuck I'm stupid! Are you hungry? Shall I make you a sandwich?"
"Why are you rambling?" he asked and managed a smile and Jennie giggled and shrugged.
"I have no idea! Now, breakfast!"

Jennie finished her letter to Remus, which was really short even though the information in it was huge, and then she grabbed another paper and began writing Harry.
Dear Harry,
I miss you! Are you alright? It's been awhile since I heard from you, silly, I don't like that! Now, don't freak out, you are not in trouble at all, but something has happened and I need you to come home on December 1 and stay until December 3, okay? I'll talk to Professor McGonagall and have her fix some transportation.
Now, tell me all about what has been going on! Spare me no details! Are you fancying someone yet? Are there someone who fancies you?
Stay safe darling, write back soon and I'll see you in December – have to rush away now so bye bye little man.
Love, Jennie
"Sirius? D'you think this'll be okay?" she asked annoyed that she doubted her own writing, and the man beside her read the letter and kissed her cheek.
"It'll do fine sweetheart. Will you come?"
"Really? You ask me that again? Of course I'll come stupid! Jeez!"
He chuckled and munched away on his bread.
"Thanks."
"You're quite welcome. I hope Remus replies soon", she said and then she jumped when an owl she recognized as Minerva flew through the window. Curiously, Jennie took the letter and read it aloud.
Dear Jennie,
I can't believe you have been keeping things from me! Some friend you are young lady! Really! Now, Remus is at the moment here with me and he has been kind to fill in the blocks so I am very well informed. I will come along.
Send my love to your friend.
Minerva
"Oh my… Hehe, I guess she is on your side then", Jennie commented and watched as Sirius sat down on the floor and sighed, looked puzzled.
"Holy crap…"
She sat down beside him and nudged his side.
"Yeah, something like that."
####
Sirius watched her as she run beside him; she looked free and happy and uncaring, no longer troubled by having to keep secrets and live half her live shielded away. He huffed and increased his speed, dashed past her and heard her cry out after him:
"Hey what's gotten in to you?!"
He ran even faster, didn't stop until his paws ached and by then he couldn't hear her anymore. He lay down by a couple of bushes and nicked some berries; they tasted sweet.
"Sirius?"
Movement beside him in the grass; he turned and hid his head in fur and paws, but small soft hand gently scratched the sweet spot by his ear and it was suddenly very hard not to lean into her touch.
"It's okay to be scared y'know… but it's fucking not okay to run away from me! Really! Come here you silly fur ball!"
He was dragged closer and she promptly placed his head in her lap and went on petting him.
"If you don't behave, I swear I'll get you a real collar, and it won't be the kinky sexy sort!"
He snorted at this and she giggled.
"Hah! You reacted! If you're done being weird, would you mind coming back home and scratch my back? I love it when you do that! And we have to figure out how to tell and show Harry… please don't sulk, you're too hot for sulking!"
####
He watched her as she slept; her hair a light veil over her body and face, her lips slightly parted as if she excepted a kiss. He smiled and kissed her cheek and she stirred and blinked sleepily at him.
"Hm?"
"Go back to sleep lovely", he whispered and she smiled and moved closer and hugged him.
"You sleep silly… can't do be tired tomorrow… love you…"
He gave her a fond look and tucked the covers up over them both. He closed his eyes. He slept.
