Izzy was stared at the ceiling. She could hear Sirius still asleep next to her and felt his warmth. He had one hand wrapped around her waist and she wasn't sure whether that had been intentional or not, but found herself enjoying it. The morning sunlight had just began to filter in through Sirius's window and Izzy heard him groan softly next to her. His head turned and when he saw her his hand immediately left her waist.

"Morning" Izzy said softly

"Morning Iz" Sirius responded sitting up and lighting a cigarette from his bedside table. He sat up leaning his head on the headboard as he exhaled, his crotch only just covered by the sheets on the bed. Izzy sat up next to him, she was already wearing one of his t-shirts since she but one on the night prior.

"How'd you sleep?" she asked stealing the cigarette from his hands.

"Brilliantly" he smirked watching her inhale before handing it back to him "Got any plans for today"

"I'll have to pack for home but after that I think Lily wanted to go for a walk" Izzy answered stretching her arms up

"Oh right, I forgot that tomorrow we are going back" Sirius sighed looking towards the window "Excited to see your family"

"Yah, I missed my mom" Izzy smiled to herself "She makes the most amazing food, even better than the house elves here at Hogwarts"

"That's nice" Sirius said appearing to be intently focusing on the opposite wall.

"Are you able to visit James this year?" Izzy asked

"No, my family is making me do the annual family Christmas dinner" he groaned as he stood up "Sounds like hell but I'll get through it"

He faced the wall and pulled on his pants and Izzy watched his back muscles flex as he pulled them on. She was watching his shoulders when she notice small red scratches on his muscles. "Hey what's that on your shoulder?" She questioned crawling across the bed so that she was close to him.

"Huh?" Sirius asked his head turning so that he could see her

"You have little red scratches on your-" Izzy stopped blushing as she realized the source

Sirius turned around to face her and grinned "I wonder where those came from"

"Do they hurt" Izzy murmured tracing them with her fingers

"Not particularly, but I'm quite fond of pain" he said before whispering in her ear "especially if it comes with pleasure"

She blushed and looked away rubbing her neck as Sirius turned around to put on his shirt when she saw a scar on his back. It was faded but still visible if you looked closely and seemed as though it used to be deep. She knew that whoever had given it to him was angry as the cut lacked emotional control. "Hey Sirius" Izzy asked.

Sirius turned around shirt in his hands "mhm"

"What's that long scar on your back?" She looked up at his face but it was unreadable.

"It's nothing" He breathed turning back around and pulling the shirt on covering up the scar

"It doesn't look like nothing" Izzy continued trying to lift up his shirt

"Bloody hell, just drop it" Sirius said defensively and pulled his shirt down again

"Oi, Padfood" A voice yelled from outside Sirius's door interrupting their conversation "Get out here you lousy mutt and come eat breakfast"
