until we meet again

" ... "

"Hiding?" Keira asked, almost not believing what she was being told.

"Yep," Sirius nodded, "No ones even sure if it's definitely about them but... it seems likely, doesn't it?" Sirius looked at Keira as they walked down the streets of London.

Keira sighed, "I does. I mean, they work with Dumbledore, so I wouldn't be surprised if he went after the,."

"That's the thing," Sirius started, "How would anyone outside of The Order know about its existence, let alone them being part of it?"

"You think there's a rat?" Keira stopped walking, facing her body towards Sirius.

"I'm not pointing any fingers, it's just an idea." He held his hands up in defence.

They started walking again, "How long have you been working on this theory?" Keira asked, half as a joke, but the other half genuinely interested.

"Ever since The Order meeting." Sirius admitted. Keira giggled as she knocked her arm on his, "So, how's the job? Everyone treating you okay? 'Cause if they aren't I'm happy to just-"

"Everything is fine Sirius," Keira smiled, "Still working on getting my voice to actually be listened to in my meetings, but I'll get them to listen at some point."

Sirius scoffed, "Men." The muttered.

"You're literally a man." Keira said.

"I know, but still." Sirius shrugged.

. . .

"We've picked a name." Lily said as her and Keira sat at her new house's kitchen table.

Keira looked up from her coffee, "Oh, what is it?" She asked.

"If it's a boy - which James is positive it's going to be - Harry."

"That's a beautiful name," Keira smiled, "Not that I'm questioning James' psychic abilities, but what if it's in fact a girl?"

Lily giggled before answer, "Honestly, I have no clue. James joked about us just calling it Keira."

Keira was taken aback for a second, she really didn't see that coming, even if it was just a joke. She lightly laughed in response, but she could tell Lily was looking out for her reaction to it.

"That kind of leads into what I really wanted to talk to you about... Obviously the Godfather would be Sirius, but we still need a Godmother." Lily said. Keira knew what she was going to ask her, her face displayed a look of hesitancy, "I thought about it for a while, trust me, and if - God forbid - anything happens to me, I'd want you to look after him."

"Lily I really appreciate it, but I don't think I'm the right person to raise a kid." Keira played with the ring on her finger.

"I disagree. All the values you believe in, the way you've lived your life, your attitude towards it, just everything, I want him to be taught and I want you to teach them." Keira stayed silent for a couple seconds, thinking over what Lily had told her, "Please. I understand if it's weird for you, but your're still my best friend. I've really missed you, Keira, I just want us to go back to normal. If you really don't want this, say the word and I'll ask someone else. I promise."

Keira sighed before speaking, "Okay. I'll do it."

A hug smile spread across her face as she got up from her seat to give Keira a hug, "Thank you so much." She said into Keira's shoulder.

"Just as long as if it is a girl, you don't name it after me." Keira held her finger to Lily as she sat back down.

"Okay, fine, we'll choose a different name." Lily giggled.
