Lumos ⤳ sirius black

Chapter 92, The Truth.

*Lucy's POV*

Sitting on a bench at the park with Sirius a stag was being seen behind a tree.

I turned over to Sirius, his sunglasses showing my reflection, and giving me a small smile. On Padfoots last birthday, Prongs decided to give us matching sunglasses as a joke, and we've never left the house without them.

Even if we didn't have them on, they would be in our pockets, head, purse, and wherever we could keep them.

They were all black except for the corners which were painted gold, and honestly, they looked pretty good.

"So," he started, looking at Lily who was now playing with Prongs, "Are you sure you want to go to Hogsmeade? Especially the cottages? I mean it's still not to late to say—"

"I'm fine Sirius. Trust me, Si. I'll be fine, I'm not bothered by it. It's not like he's going to be there."

He nodded his head and leaned forward. "So you'll be fine?"

"Yes."

"And you're not lying?"

"No."

"Mkay."

I felt Lyra kick once more as I sighed.

"What's wrong?" Sirius asked.

"Lyra. She doesn't kick much but she kicks hard when she finally does."

He put his hand on my belly and I put my head in his shoulder. I felt Sirius' breathing and everything was quiet and nice, leaving me feeling all eumoirous.

It was all short lived since Prongs decided to interrupt us, and by that I mean to crash into us.

And seeing as there weren't many people around, Padfoot turned and played with Prongs as well. Might've looked weird to people, but not really to us.

Lily sat next to me. "They really make it worth it, don't they?" She gestured to James and Sirius. Remus and Peter were with them laughing at them.

Peter would sometimes join in, but he said he didn't like to leave Moony alone at times.

"Yeah they do. I mean, also knowing that they're getting out in what? 4-5 months?"

"Shh! They're listening," she whispered, making us burst into giggles.

~*~

I held Sirius' hand as we walked towards the cottages.

I felt my throat tighten, so I breathed in and out but not too deeply as to bring attention.

"You alright so far?" He asked me.

"So far," I lied.

"You know, you aren't a good liar," he said, "I mean you can be amazing at some things—"

I smacked him in the shoulder, "Try to keep it PG, won't you?"

"Fine, you are amazing at some things but lying isn't your forte."

"That's on,y because you pay attention," I told him, "17 years of telling lies and they never noticed. I pride myself on that."

Sirius shook his head, "It's because you're more relaxed near me. I can tell when—"

"Observant," I singsonged.

"Fine, say what you want to say," Padfoot grumbled.

"Aww, is the poor puppy feeling bad?"

"Yeah," he sighed.

I gave him a kiss on the cheek. "Everything'll turn out right."

"Promise?" He asked with puppy eyes.

"Promise." I said lying to him again.

We finally arrived to the cottage, smelling a sweet orange-like scent in there.

"Coming!" A voice said. The door opened to reveal Ari. "Hi! Sorry but no ones here at the moment, I like to come here for a little quiet time. Come in."

We entered her cottage. It wasn't small but it wasn't big. It was cozy. Her decorations weren't loud as well, they were small and minimal, again, cozy.

"I like the cottage," Sirius told her as she was in the kitchen. "It's cozy."

"Thank you, and well that's what I was going for really."

I looked at her books. They were all... well jumbled. She had some of Greek mythology, Norse mythology, Chinese mythology, Japanese mythology, and some about Astrology, others about Astronomy, quite a few poem books, and there were many books involving Magizoology.

"Here," She said with a tray of what appeared to be doughnuts. "They're filled with orange zest. Try them, they're delicious. Jacob gave me the recipe a long time ago."

We tried them and they were delicious. More than hay we could've ever imagined.

"Anyway," She said inviting us to sit with her, "What happened with her?" Ari gestured to Lyra.

And so I explained.

I explained to every detail I could remember and Sirius filled in the ones I couldn't.

"I think I need a minute," she exclaimed, her heads on her hands.

Ari sighed and finally said, "You know that life is going to be hell for this child right?"

"Yes," We both said.

"You're going to have to protect her like crazy."

"Yeah," Sirius said.

"To my knowledge there was another prophecy right?"

"Yeah, about..."

"Yes, exactly. Okay, do you two realize that she is a backup plan?"
