The Bite Of A Wolf

Chapter 14

Recap: Hadrian grinned and left, most likely to find Remus.

Now:

Once they had all gathered in the living area, Hadrian cleared his throat.

"So you needed to tell us something?" He asked, leaning forward slightly.

Sirius nodded. "Yes, but James will do it." He said quickly.

James narrowed his eyes. "No! I thought we both were." He said, scowling.

"I nev-" Sirus was cut off by Remus.

"Shut your mouths!" He bellowed at them, though he was focused on Hadrian.

"Thank you. Why don't you both just do it please?" He asked, uncovering his ears.

James nodded and grabbed Sirius' hand.  "When we were in school, Sirius and I were very close. Closer than the others. We fell for each other, but kept our relationship as friends only. But that didn't work.

Having to see him everyday and knowing someone else could sweep him away, I couldn't stand it. So I asked him out." James told them softly.

"I said yes and things went from there. We got married and were happy. We learned James was pregnant.

It also happened to be the worst time for a child. We had to keep our baby safe.

So when the child was born, James went into hiding and Lily went with him." Sirius explained, his eyes a little misty.

James wiped his eyes. "When Voldemort came, he only stunned me. He planned on doing the same to Lily.

But when she refused to step aside, his anger got the best of him. He killed her.

When I woke up, I was in his dungeons." He turned and pressed his face into Sirius's shoulder, a sob racking his body.

"So I have a brother?!" Hadrian exclaimed.

Sirius shook his head. "No Hadrian. You are the child."

I finally have an appointment to get my eye checked! Hope you enjoyed this little chapter.
