In the Black's manor in France 1959, two people lying side by side on the bed, a thick comforter draped over them, covering them up to the chest. Their relaxed, slightly disheveled appearance suggests they have just shared an intimate encounter, leaving a palpable sense of lingering passion in the air.
The woman has striking, siren-shaped eyes that seem to draw you in, their depths hinting at a world of mystery and allure. Her skin is a rich, deep brown, glowing with a natural radiance that contrasts beautifully against the white sheets. Her full lips are slightly parted, a subtle, satisfied smile playing at the corners.
"She sounds beautiful," was the thought running through their minds, an echo of admiration that lingered in the air.
For a moment, James found himself completely absorbed, so captivating, that he almost forgot about Lily—his 'lily-flower.'
Beside her, the man has a chiseled, strong-jawed face that exudes both power and charm. His deep-set blue eyes are framed by dark, thick lashes, and his tousled hair falls perfectly around his forehead. His broad shoulders and muscular build are evident even beneath the comforter, hinting at a figure that combines strength with an effortless grace.
"Why does that sound like Sirius's father?" James asked, his brow furrowed in confusion.
The boys stared at him, their expressions ranging from disbelief to concern, as if they thought he might be losing his grip on reality.
Remus shook his head, looking directly at James with a mix of disbelief and amusement. "You managed to come up with all of that from just a brief description? That’s honestly a bit crazy."
James, unfazed, broke into a wide grin, clearly pleased with the reaction from the guys.
Meanwhile, Sirius shook his head in a gesture of giving up, which we know isn't possible, and Peter, oblivious to the ongoing discussion, continued to dig through the snack stash with an almost wild enthusiasm.
Together, they lay in a moment of serene afterglow, their contrasting yet complementary features creating a captivating scene.
“I can’t believe we’re doing this, Orion. What about your pregnant wife? And your kid?”
All eyes turn to Sirius who is is completely stunned and unable to process what just happened. James was right all along
It was his father.
Orion shifted uneasily, the tension in his jaw apparent. He ran a hand through his disheveled hair, trying to avoid her gaze. “Not this again, Zara. I’m here with you now. What does it matter?”
“It matters because you’re lying to her!” Zara’s voice trembled with a mix of anger and hurt. “How can you look at her, smile at your son, Sirius, and then come here like nothing’s wrong? You’re betraying them.”
Orion’s eyes narrowed, his frustration evident. “I’m not trying to hurt anyone. After all 'my' wife is my cousin. I just needed—”
“You needed to be selfish!” Zara’s voice rose sharply. “You’re playing with lives, Orion. Mostly mine and the baby I'm carrying. You think you can just ignore the mess you’re making? What would the other pureblood families say? You’re breaking a family apart.”
Orion stood abruptly, his face flushed with anger. “Maybe I’m trying to figure things out, but don’t you dare pretend you’re innocent in this!”
Zara’s eyes flashed with a mix of anger and disappointment. “I’m not the one with a family at home. You’re the one who needs to face up to what you’re doing. If you can’t be honest, then this—us—will never end.”
Remus looked around, still trying to grasp what had just happened.
“Wow, that situation was really something,” he said, shaking his head.
James nodded in agreement. “Yeah, it was pretty intense.” continuing , “I mean, I’ve never seen anything like that before. The emotions were off the charts.”
Peter added, “Totally. Sirius found out his dad is a cheater, his parents are cousins and he has a potential baby brother or sister or both”
Remus sighed. “Exactly. It’s going to take me a while to process all of that. But I think we need to take Sirius to the infirmary”
Looking his way, he could barely catch his breath, as his chest tightened with an overwhelming pressure. Sirius eyes darted around the room, struggling to focus, while his hands trembled uncontrollably.
Each inhale felt shallow and ragged, as if the air was suffocating him. A cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and his heart pounded wildly in his chest, echoing in his ears. It was as if the walls were closing in, and he couldn’t escape the relentless surge of fear and confusion that had taken over his senses.
