Come What May (RemusxOfcxSirius)(SeverusxOfcxLucius)

I'm Fully Aware

Damn, how long did I sleep? I shifted from one side to the other, so my back was to the couch. I had planned on going back to sleep, but the couch behind me was breathing. My eyes shot open and I jumped from the couch. I turned around and without thinking screamed in shock. A lanky man with striped clothes in horrible condition, shaggy black hair, and numerous tattoos lay on the couch. My scream had caused him to stir, looking at him he seemed to be confused as to where he was. He lifted himself up into a sitting position and seemed to come to sense when his eyes fell on me. I was the first to jump at the chance to speak.

"Who the hell are you? And how did you get here?"

"Please, just calm down and hear me out. I promise I am no threat to you or anyone."

"NO THREAT! You were asleep behind me and I have no clue who you are. Not to mention, you are wearing what looks like prison uniforms." The second the words left my mouth, I knew exactly who I was looking at.

"Sirius Black," I whispered in disbelief.

I turned to leave and had gotten two steps before he grabbed my arm, effectively twirling me towards him. The look in his defeated gray eyes stopped me from wanting to flee. I unconsciously relaxed into his hold and nodded my head to his earlier request. He gently let me go and took a few steps back while signaling for me to take a seat back on the couch. I slowly approached and sat down.

"I am Sirius Black. The same one from the Daily Prophet. But I can assure you that I am innocent and intend to harm no one but the rat."

"I'm going to need you to clarify that for me."

"I was good friends with the Potters, along with Remus and Peter. When they went into hiding I was the secret keeper, but I convinced James to change it to Peter. He was the one who sold James and Lily to Voldemort. When I confronted him in the street, he already had played out his plan. He caused the explosion that killed all those muggles, then proceeded to cut his finger off and transform into his animagus form of a rat. Since then he's been in that form and I've been rotting in a cell for twelve years. There is more to that story, but for a different time."

I sat there in silence taking it all in, while he stood in front of me. I could feel him watching me, waiting for my reaction. Logically it all made sense to me kinda, although there was one question that he hadn't answered.

"So why come back to where you could easily be caught, what exactly is so important?"

He drew a sharp intake of breath and spoke "Harry is most likely in danger. Peter is the rat from the Weasley family. I saw a picture of him and knew he would be here. So here I am, hunting after the rat that framed me."

"Right. So you are after Peter Pettigrew a.k.a. Scabbers, who is Ron Weasley's rat that has been on the run since the first day of term."

"Yes"

"Ok, well that all makes sense to me. I guess."

I started to fidget in my seat, feeling like there was nothing more to say. I tried very hard to not look directly at him and noticed that it was getting dark outside. Once more I jumped up, nearly knocking into him, and rushed around to grab my stuff. In the midst of my tornado, Sirius sat back down and watched me. When I reached the door, I turned back to face Sirius.

"Please don't go anywhere or do anything. I'll see what I can do about Peter and I won't tell anyone. I'll be back later on, um yeah."

"Sophia?"

"Yeah"

"Look up mates and mate bonds. It might be useful for you and Remus. But I assume he already knows,' he said winking at me.
