Stay with me ~ g.w

24.

You looked around trying to make yourself unnoticeable before slipping into the classroom with professor lupin. He had his arms on a desk crouched over in pain.

"Professor lupin" you called. Nothing.

"Professor!" You spoke sternly.

"Not now y/n" he grunted.

"But I-" you started.

"Not now" he yelled.

" I know about padfoot!" You blurted and he turned to you.

"What do you know about padfoot?" He walked closer to you suddenly getting a burst of energy.

"I know that- that" you stuttered considering what Harry said "I know your padfoot! A marauder!" You exclaimed.

"Me? Padfoot?" He laughed. "My dear student it seems you know nothing about padfoot" he turned around again.

"Then tell me, because I know the dog I've been seeing isn't the grim and that it is padfoot, and that padfoot is a marauder!" You suddenly started talking and suddenly couldn't stop. "And that Sirius black makes me feel uneasy and for bloody sake I need to know what the hell it all means" you yelled. "And I know you know so tell me!".

"Y/n you don't know what you're getting into" he looked taken back.

"I know that I've been going at it all year!" You were now so mad you couldn't hold back "I'm not a child I need to know"

Lupin nodded looking down " sit".

You sat on the desk as lupin started to explain. He was leaning against the desk across from you.

"You have a very different connection to Sirius black, so does Harry Potter" he started "that might be the reason you get so uneasy at the mention of his name, why you're so curious about padfoot" he looked at you.

"What does padfoot have to do with Sirius black?" You asked.

"You believe padfoot has been around this school year?" He asked you and you nodded in agreement.

"And who has escaped Azkaban prison?" He asked.

You suddenly tried putting pieces together and then it all made sense.

"Padfoot is Sirius black?" You asked "I've been following around a murderer, being stalked by a murder?" Your eyes widened

"Sirius is padfoot yes, an animagus." He explained further "but the connection you have to Sirius black is more than feeling as if he's a stalker, he's your-"

"My birth father?" You exclaimed.

"Bloody hell-No!" He rolled his eyes "your birth father was his brother, regulus black. He and your father were on two different sides of the war, we thought, regulus was a firm believer in pure bloods but died trying to get rid of Voldemort, that is your birth father" he looked at you "Sirius is your uncle, he loved your mother but him and regulus didn't get along at all, so he would sneak over when regulus was gone and come to see you, hold you as a baby"

"So I'm Sirius Blacks Niece?" You raised an eyebrow trying to process all the information thrown at you.

"Yes, and then he was sent to Azkaban, for killing our friend Peter pettigrew and selling the potters to Voldemort, but now I don't think that is much true" he looked down.

"Why do you think that?" You looked at him in disbelief.

"James Potter was very close to Sirius, took him in when his family didnt approve of his life style, being involved with mud bloods and all" he referred to lily potter. "So naturally it was unbelievable at first, but the evidence it proved otherwise. Until now, Harry mentions to see Peter pettigrew on the marauders map"
