Lumos ⤳ sirius black

Chapter 66, Sirius.

*Lucys POV*

I woke up to a sleeping-shirtless-Sirius hugging me. I stayed there for a while hearing him inhale and exhale. I stared around the room, looking or something to entertain me. I tried to escape but he only tightened his arm more. Once he relaxed again, I tried to leave but I accidentally woke him up.

"Sorry. Go back to sleep." I apologized

"Stay." He breathed out, opening one eye, "Come on." Sirius opened his arms and I cuddled next to him.

"I'm so lucky to have you." He whispered. "I'm more lucky to have you."

"I love you." I told him, "I love you more."

We finally got out of bed when we heard someone knock on the door.

"It's probably just James and Lily." I told Sirius.
"Uh huh."

They knocked on the door again.

"Sirius...."
"Oh alright, I'll let you go."

Finally getting out of his grip, I got up to open the door.

"Professor Dumbledore." I breathed out.
"Hello Lucy. Is Sirius here? I'd like to talk to you two about some order business."
"Of course, yeah. Oh, come in."

He sat in the couch as I went to fetch Sirius. And then, there he was curled up in his animagus form.

"Pads." I said in a hushed whisper, he whined in response. "Pads! Dumbledore is here."

He finally opened one eye and reluctantly changed.  We entered the living room where he was playing with a knick-knack of mine.

We sat down and he went down to explaining what he needed from us. "Lucy, we're going to need you to go undercover at the ministry, and don't worry you'll have llénate of other aurors at your side.
Sirius, we need you to go to Windsol."

"I don't get it Lily! He's been there for a week. A week!"

"Lucy calm down!"

"Yeah mate, she's got a point." James added.

"Plus, It's Padfoot, he'll definitely be able to fend for himself." Moony helped.

"Still, a week! A bloody week!"

This weeks has been a train wreck. Ever since Dumbledore told him that he had to go to Windsol, he had been set on going.

"If I can't make anyone else proud, I want to make myself proud." He said.

And then reluctantly, I agreed.

"Fine, But be careful."

"Always am."

"Wait! I love you."

"I love you too."

I was having my third panic attack for the day when I locked myself in my room.

He's dead.
He's not dead.
He's strong.
Isn't he?
No he's going to die!
Why hasn't he arrived yet?
It's been a fucking week Sirius!

Once I'd calmed down I tried to sleep only to get interrupted by my thoughts once more. I put that idea aside and decided to go to the kitchen. Just as I was about to go inside the door opened to show a badly injured Sirius.

"Sirius!" I yelled which caused him to try to smile. He collapsed on the sofa as everyone tried to heal some of his injuries.

I, of course, felt like I was going to faint. I kept on feeling like that for 3 hours straight. Everyone else had to leave. Although reluctant at first, they eventually did leave. Sirius basically passed out on the couch so I just sat next to him playing with his hair.

  He opened his eyes, but only just.

"Hey Love." Padfoot tiredly said.
"Hey Pads." I said, "You feeling ok?"
"Better now that I'm with you."
"You had me worried sick."
"I figured. Wouldn't be a good wife if she didn't love me."
"Wouldn't be a good husband if he didn't make fun of you."
"Sorry."
"It's fine, I just...missed you so much."
"I missed you more Lumos. Trust me."
