A Sirius Matter...

The Most Feared Fear

The following afternoon, I walked quickly down to the hospital wing with Grace tucked in my arms and a pink backpack over my shoulder. I had dressed her in the baby-grow I had bought for her which was white with two baby elephants holding trunks. I thought she looked completely adorable.

As I was about to open the doors a very disheveled looking Remus appeared at my side. His clothes were ripped and dirty and his hair was insane.

"Jesus you look rough" I said my eyes wide.

He gasped for breath - he had clearly transformed and ran straight away to meet me.

"Well normally I have a day to calm down a bit but I knew I didn't have the time today so I ran for it and now I'm dying" he finished dramatically.

I pulled out my wand and juggled Grace so I could point my wand at him and mutter spells. When I was finished his robes where repaired (although still ragged) and his hair was tamed.

"Thank you" he breathed, running his fingers through his hair and then taking Grace from me.

"Don't take all my credit" I laughed as he rocked his daughter up and down in his arms.

"It's okay, I'll just tell Madam that I helped- Mcgonagall doesn't want her to know I'm a werewolf until it's absolutely necessary!

"I was joking you nutter" I said, shifting the bags on my arms and backing into the doors to force them open.

Tia was sat up in bed looking pale but happy.

"Oh my goodness, finally! Let me see her!" She exclaimed as we walked over to her bed together.

As the pair cooed over their baby I handed all the bottles to Madam as Tia wasn't going to need them.

"Is she okay to come out yet?" I asked Madam as we gathered around the bed.

"Not really, she's fine now but I want to keep her and the baby in for another night just to be sure" she told me.

Remus seemed happy where he was so I decided to leave the happy family to it and head back to the common room. I hadn't seen anyone all day and I wasn't too sure what the hell was going on.

Slightly angry that no one but Remus had spoken to me that day I stomped into the common room and angrily marched up the stairs.

Upon opening the door I saw all of my friends except Remus and Tia of course and Peter wasn't there although I wasn't really that sure if I counted him as my friend...

It was a peculiar sight, Tia's bed was covered in the baby clothes I had left there this morning. In my bed, Sirius and James were under the covers next to each other, Matt and Emily were top-and-tailing in her bed and Lily was cuddled in her own.

"What's going on here then?" I said sitting down on the side of my bed, Sirius and James were lying under my covers which disgusted me slightly but also made me think that I couldn't blame them as it was bloody freezing in the dormitory.

"We were planning on what we could do about the fact there's going to be a baby in here" Lily said to me, pulling the duvet over her chest and hugging it.

"Well I was thinking about that too" I started "I thought it was a bit unfair for Remus and Tia to have to share the baby especially as Remus won't be able to feed it in the night so I wondered about speaking to McGonagall about decorating the tower room for them to share - you know the one about here in the tower cone?" I asked, rambling away about my idea which I personally thought was absolutely brilliant.

"That's a great idea!" Said Emily.

"Yeah! We've been in here two and a half hours and we couldn't think of anything" Matt joined in.
