Lumos ⤳ sirius black

Chapter 70, Difficult Times.

*Lucys POV*

To my unpleasant surprise, I woke up early. Sure, I could be a morning person, but not when I slept late and worked my arse off.

I showered and went ahead to make breakfast. I was still a little shocked at my parents passing, and in such a horrible way.

I couldn't imagine the horror of having an ambush at the place you feel the safest.

"Morning." Sirius groggily said. "What are you making?"

"French toast."

"Hey, I've been meaning to talk to you about something." He said, "I've been thinking about it and—there's an owl for you."

"From who?" I asked.

"Its from your brother."

Irritated, I opened the letter and saw that they were going to bury them in America. And I had been invited to the funeral. "Is that where they've been?" I asked myself.

Suddenly another owl came and dropped off a letter. I gave some food and water to the owls and got Noah.

"So, do you reckon he's a little old to be going to America to deliver a letter?"

"America? And no."

I showed him the card, "We're going. My brothers would hate me even more if I didn't."

"Well, what part in America?" He curiously asked, "It's in the letter Sirius. And it's just California. Barely remember the place."

I wrote a letter for my brothers' owl that came here and got the other card.

"Aunt Ari's going as well. Ooh! Maybe we can get Tina and Queenie to show us around! Oh wait, never mind they're from New York. We'll just apparate back and forth then."

"That's a lot of information to process in less than an hour. And I'm the morning."

"That's my family, always right after." I agreed. "You just need a bigger brain though..."

"Hey!" Sirius said making me laugh.

"Anyways, What were you going to tell me?" I asked him.

"I was thinking that we never had a honeymoon." He said raising an eyebrow.

"Maybe later Sirius. Take a look around won't you? There's a war going on." I said rather harshly.

"Ouch, ok." Padfoot grumbled.

"Sorry Si."

"Yeah no, it was silly to just think of that."

By early June, there had been more attacks which weren't even limited to wizarding folk, muggles were found dead with the dark mark wavering over their homes and plastered on their walls.

In an order meeting, Dumbledore announced that there was a traitor among us. I held on to Sirius' hand even more while he just squeezed my hand gently.

Although it made sense since they knew everything from dates of meetings to dates of events we were planning.

In late April, we had to move where we'd usually meet because it was attacked. And then at the Ministry, aurors were being even more pressured for everything. Sirius was now getting irritated of me getting on early morning and leaving by late morning giving me a few hours of sleep.

Apart from that, Sirius was now also giving his whole attention to the Order, leaving almost no time for us.

Since Lily and James had gotten their own flat, they invited the 4 of us, but Wormtail couldn't go. His mother had been recently gotten sick and he would usually only pay his attention to her.
