Chapter 51 - Izzie

OoO

It seemed like time flash forward after that night. That night after the house hunting, she had seen James and Sirius whispering in the corner of the common room. And when she came closer, they shoved papers away and smiled up at her, putting on not-so-innocent doe eyes. She didn't think much of it, probably a prank they were planning, so she kissed them goodnight and went to her bed. A few days after that, Sirius said he already contacted the realtor regarding the house and was waiting for a reply. The next few weeks went by blissfully. Even though she wanted to keep her space from Sirius, it was nearly impossible since the kiss on the roof. She still sat with Lily or Remus in most classes, and had study dates with her other classmates, but otherwise Sirius was glued at her side. Pulling her into cupboards, tugging her under his arm as he whispered sweet nothings in her ear. She was happy again, food had stopped flying across the room and Sirius confided her in everything he did, except one thing. But he said it was part of her birthday present and she had to wait. So, she did.

It was the middle of March and Izzie was in her bed tossing and turning. She tried everything to fall asleep, but it just wouldn't happen. She wanted something – no - someone warm next to her, where she could curl into him. Giving up on sleeping alone for weeks, she tossed the blankets from her and tip-toed out of the dorm. It was nearing two in the morning and the common room was empty. When she slipped into the boys' dorm, she could see all of their curtains drawn shut. When she peaked through the curtains of Sirius' bed, she held back a chuckle. He was sprawled out on his bed, lying on his stomach. His arms were tucked underneath his pillow and his legs were spread out, his feet hanging out on either side of the bed. He was only wearing pyjama bottoms and her heartbeat fastened as her eyes travelled over his bare muscular back, she tried not to think too much about the little scars across the flesh. She wanted to travel her hands up and down his back until her hands slipped into his pants. She had to shake her head to snap out of it. She must look like a real creep standing there, practically drooling over him in the dark.

Sirius shifted in his sleep, and he murmured softly. "Izzie."

She smiled and tried to slip in next to him, letting the curtains fall back to a close behind her. She laid on the edge of the bed, her legs drawn up as she watched him. His face was close to hers, and he breathed in.

"Izzie." He said again but now it sounded more desperate, more sexual than before. He shifted again and laid down on his back.

Izzie's eyes travelled over his body again. Over the tattoos, the scars, the hairline that disappeared in his low hanging pyjama bottoms. She licked her lips as she saw the hard bulge in his pants. Her eyes went up to his face again, he was squirming a little, breathing rapidly but his face was peaceful, his hair in disarray. He looked so unfairly handsome. With his hair like that and his trousers low, he looked irresistible.

"Izzie." He moaned again and his hips bucked up slightly. She bit her lip hard from not moaning at the sight of him, but she did let her hand travel to his trousers, rubbing softly over the fabric. Sirius's movements became a little erratic, just like his breathing. She couldn't help herself, she crawled between his legs and tugged his trousers down, letting his cock jump out. She wanted to admire it for a moment, but she also wanted to take him in her mouth, help him make his dream a reality. So, she leaned down and wrapped her lips over him, her tongue sliding over the tip. With one hand she held her up while the other wrapped around the base. Sirius bucked his hips even more, her name came of his lips between his soft moans, but when she hollowed her cheeks and sucked, Sirius eyes popped open. "Izzie?" He breathed.

She looked up from her work but didn't stop her movements. She locked eyes with Sirius as her head bobbed up and down. They couldn't tear their eyes away from each other as she sucked him off.

"Fuck, Izzie." Sirius groaned, fisting the sheets. "Oh, Merlin." His legs started to tremble. She placed both of her hands on his thighs as she hollowed her cheeks again, letting her tongue glide over the tip. "Izzie." He moaned, still his eyes on hers as he came. He was trembling all over. Izzie was gently rubbing her hands up and down his legs, letting him calm down. She swallowed everything before she licked his tip again. "Don't. Too sensitive." Sirius shuddered.

She pulled up his trousers before she climbed up next to him. He gathered her in his arms instantly. "What just happened? Did it really happen? Or was it just a dream?"

"It's real." She whispered, as a finger trailed over his bare chest. "I couldn't sleep, and I thought I'll crawl in with you." She said a little unsure now, she looked down and traced circles on his chest.

"You can always sneak into my bed; I've been waiting weeks to hold you in my arms again."

She smiled but didn't look up. "When I came in, you were – you were mumbling my name in your sleep." She looked up with flushed cheeks but was happy to note Sirius was blushing too. "And when I laid down next to you, your mumbling became more... erotic. I thought I would help you out for a bit." She smiled shyly and Sirius traced his thumb over her lips. The lips that had just been around his cock.

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean – I just can't help but dream about you." He admitted, his face growing more red.

"I don't mind, Sirius. If I minded, I wouldn't have helped you out. I would just have left."

"I love you." He said before he captured her lips into a searing and passionate kiss. "That was even better than what I've been dreaming about for over a year and believe me that's saying much because I have an amazing imagination." Izzie chuckled and ducked her head, blushing. He tilted her head back up again with his finger. "Maybe I should return the favour?" He asked with his lovey crooked grin.

"No." She shook her head and nestled it against his chest. Her legs intertwined with his as they made themselves comfortable. "Maybe next time, now I just want to fall asleep in your arms."

"Sounds good to me." He kissed her forehead, the grip around her tight. "Goodnight, love."

"Goodnight, Sirius."

OoO

Her birthday started off good. It was Sunday and her friends let her sleep in, but she snickered when she finally came down and saw them all waiting impatiently for her. Remus made a move to congratulate her, but Sirius swept in. His arms curled around her waist, and he dipped her low before kissing her passionately.

"Happy birthday, love."

"Thank you." She smiled, giving him another kiss before he pulled her back up. "So, what's the plan for today?"

"We decided not to throw you a party since we have classes tomorrow." Lily said as Remus kissed her cheeks and wished her a happy birthday.

"We are all going to steal you for a little while today. We're all going to spend some real quality time together." Remus smiled softly. "But first we're having breakfast together." He wrapped his arm around Izzie, claiming her before Sirius would swoop in before him again. Sirius pursed his lips at him but stepped up next to her with a beaming smile as they walked out of the common room.

"So, who's first?" She asked as they sat down on the Gryffindor table. Before anyone could answer, a large cupcake appeared in front of her a lion and a snake danced around each other.

"That would be Reggie." Remus smiled, nudging his head to the doors of the great hall. Regulus came striding in with a timid smile. And instead of taking the space between Remus and Izzie, he wedged his way between her and his brother, just to annoy him.

"Happy birthday, wife." He kissed her cheek and Sirius was fuming behind him. Reg glanced over his shoulder to his brother. "You are too easy to rile up, big brother." He smirked the typical Slytherin smirk. He turned back before he could say something.

"What are the plans?"

"You'll see after breakfast." He said as he started to scoop up his breakfast.

Izzie pursed her lips and murmured to Remus. "He's been hanging out too much with you lot."

"What's that supposed to mean?" Sirius and Regulus gasped at the same time. The others all looked at them for a second before they started laughing. They both scowled the same way, which made them laugh even harder.

"Come on, eat your breakfast." Regulus edged her on.

"What's the rush?"

"We all have only a few hours with you, so eat up." He offered a spoon of yoghurt to her mouth.

"Fine." She took the cupcake and stood up. "Where to, husband?" She held out her arm and Regulus took it gracefully. She leaned down towards Sirius's scowling face and whispered. "I'll see you soon, lover." She grinned when Sirius blushed.

"I still can't believe how easily you can make him blush." Regulus snickered as they walked out the great hall.

"Me neither, but I quite like it." She chuckled.

"I bet." Regulus snickered and guided her up the stairs.

OoO

Regulus led her to the seventh floor and stopped in front of a blank wall. Izzie looked around with a frown as Reg started pacing in front of her. "Uhm, Reg..." She wanted to ask why they were standing there, when a door appeared in front of her. A buzz of excitement coursed through her. "Reg, what is this?" Her hands tingled in anticipation to open the door.

"Let's head inside first." He nudged his head for her to open the door.

The door itself wasn't much to look at, not big either. It looked like a door to a cupboard. But when she opened it, it was a large room. Golden cloths hung as streamers from the ceiling, the windows were large and reach from the floor to the ceiling. Music was playing in the background. There was a large dance floor, against the wall were tables with food and drinks. Tears formed in her eyes when she looked around.

"How?"

"The room changes into exactly what you want. Barty found it a few weeks ago."

"How did you know?"

"You don't talk about your mother much, but I remembered a story about the Snitch Ball you attended. Last year during the easter holidays -" He said slowly, watching her expressions. "I found a picture of you and her, dancing in the middle of the room. I thought I tried to recreate it for you. After everything you did for me."

"Reg." She wrapped her arms around him and buried her face in his neck. "This is amazing, thank you."

"Anything for you, Isabelle." He kissed her temple. She pulled back, wiping away her tears.

"Can I have this dance?" An all too familiar voice came from behind her. She turned and saw Barty, bowing deep with his hand outstretched. He had on his fancy and expensive wizarding robes. His lips quirked up on the sides.

"Regulus pulled you into this?" She smiled as she took his hand.

"I volunteered, my fair lady." He twirled her under his arm to the dance floor as she twirled her clothes changed into a fairy tale dress, silvery blue with a sweetheart neckline and a poofy skirt. She knew who changed her clothes, he was the only one who was almost as good as her at Charms. When she glanced around the room, she saw Evan put his wand away as he sipped a drink near the radio and winked. Barty behaved like a true gentleman as he guided her over the dance floor. "Happy birthday, Belle." He whispered as he dipped her so low, her hair grazed the floor.

"So, Regulus recreated one of my favourite memories, Evan gave me dress, what is your input in this?" She grinned.

"Besides the fact that I found the room?" He said with a lopsided grin. "I have a little present that goes with -" He waved around the room and her dress. "This. You get it on your way out." He winked.

"Can I cut in?" Regulus asked diplomatically. She danced with the three men for over an hour, laughing and twirling around the room. When she and Regulus parted the room, Barty handed her a gift-wrapped present. What she didn't notice was that she was still wearing the gown that Evan had transfigured for her.
