"(y/n), (y/n), (y/n), (y/n), (y/n), (y/n)" my eyes snap open to a child bouncing on my stomach, she was small she looked maybe three, she had pretty black hair and big blue eyes.

"Ember?" the child laughed as I sat up.

"I'm not Ember silly."

"River what did I tell you!" I looked over to see Ember walk into the room a spatula in hand.

"Don't bother your friends when they're sleeping" she said with a pout, I just smiled.

"It's alright I was awake anyway" Ember walked over and picked the child up off my stomach and held her.

"(y/n) this is my little Sister River, now River I want you to apologize to (y/n) for waking her up" River pouted and looked at me.

"I'm sorry Miss. (y/n)" I laugh a little.

"No need to call me miss and I forgive you completely" River smiled big and my heart almost exploded. Though I snapped out of my trance when something pulled on my shoulder forcing me back down.

"Don't leave yet" Sirius grumbled and laid his head on my chest as if I was a pillow. I just sat up on my elbows.

"But Sirius the sooner you get up and we go home and pack" I leaned in and whispered something to him and he sat up right away.

"Ember are you making breakfast?" Sirius asked and she nodded a confident smirk.

"Perfect we can leave right now" her smirk drops and I burst out laughing when a spatula that Ember held flew from Rivers hand straight at his head.

"For your information, Big sis always makes perfect pancakes." River crossed her arms.

"Who?" Sirius looked at me.

"Ember's little sister River" I looked back up at Ember.

"When did she get here?" Ember looked to the other room slightly worried.

"My parents just got here and there talking with Remus alone" I saw her fidget a bit as she switched the side she held River on.

"I could jump in there and distract them as Sirius pretends to need him" she nodded.

"I'm scared there asking him about the whole marriage thing" I cringe slightly and stand to adjust my shirt.

"I got you, Come on Sirius" I walk out of the room and peek into the next to see Remus and two older guests one male and one female me and Sirius walk in getting straight to work.

"Hey, Remus I need you for a minute" Sirius called as Remus turned relief resting on his face,

"I'll be right there" he stood and politely said goodbye to the two, I took the time to study them, the woman looked young but held a mature aura as her long silver hair and bright Blue eyes shone like she was a god the man was definitely of high status with the way he held himself he had short neat black hair slicked back, to be honest, they were intimidating as crap.

"good morning! You must be Ember's parents" the woman looked over, her eyes widening a bit but she returned to normal quickly.

"Yes that would be us, and you are?" the man spoke and I had to hold my smile in place.

"My name is (y/n) I'm Ember's friend" I introduced myself and the man stood at once causing me to jump.

"Oh, your the one Ember speaks so highly of! Tell me do you really already know how to cast a Patronus?" I tensed and nodded.

"Yes sir I do, I have been able to cast it since I started first year" I bragged a bit and he let out a laugh.

"Confident and strong! Tell me are you interested in a woman, my daughter is of perfect marrying age" I couldn't speak.

"Dominus!" the woman yelled.

"DAD!" Ember was in the doorway.

"Well, why don't I leave it up to Ember" I spoke as shock laid on Both of their faces a smile on her fathers. I turned to Ember and stepped in front of her kneeling on one knee, she smiled a little noticing Sirius and Remus in the doorway.

"Ember, I have known you for years and in that span of time I learned something." she laced a hand over her mouth as I grabbed the other.

"I love you Ember, Will you marry me?" and of course Remus and Sirius had to get in on this.

"I OBJECT!" all eyes turned to Remus as Embers father gasped a smile still just as wide.

"Ember you can't marry her, because, I WANT TO MARRY YOU! I just wanted to wait till we got out of school to tell you."

"(y/n) I-I thought we had something" Sirius faked tears.

"Sirius I-"

"NO, I can't forgive this anymore we're through" he turned and walked away I clutched my chest.

"NOOOOOO" I stood running off in the direction he went as I heard Embers fathers cherry laugh at the popularity of his daughter. I laughed to myself and turned back but let out a small squeak when Sirius was only an inch away.

"Jeez, you scared me" I laughed as did he.

"I can't believe he thought I was gonna marry her"

"To be honest it looked pretty real, it made me kinda jealous" he leaned forward a little more.

"Oh?" I smirked and went to close the space.

"(y/n) (y/l/n)!" I jumped startled and turned to see a panting Gravis. I rolled my eyes but smiled anyway.

"Were you here for the show?" he looked up tears running down his face.

"You never told me you were interested in girls!" I looked back at Sirius a smirk on my face.

"What can I say, I just love the way they bounce" I bit of snark in my voice.

"Is that why you're letting boys sleepover!?" I nodded.

"yep, that and I'm dating one"

"Wait but"

"Brother you need to learn how not to judge, your little sister is admitting she's Bi and you just sit there putting me into a category as if it wasn't even normal, I feel so rejected" I turned and hugged Sirius who stroked my head.

"Don't worry I'll always be here for you, maybe he just needs time to understand" I looked up at Sirius and smiled.

"Your right, I forgive you" I looked at Gravis who was too shocked to argue as I walked past him.

"I'm gonna grab my clothes then we have to leave" I walked into Lily's room and into her bathroom to see Lily was in the shower.

"Hey, lil's I'm gonna go now" I heard her wine.

"A-alright I'll see you back at school" I grabbed the dress and walked out as soon as I shut the door I heard it.

"Next time let's lock the door"...James? I sped walked out of the room but was stopped immediately by the body in front of me.
"Oh hello Ma'am" Embers mom stood there a frown on her face.
"Is it really you" I was confused "(y/n) (y/l/n)" my eyes grew wide but I covered it with a smile and a laugh.
"I'm flattered you would think of me in the same light of someone like that but I'm also afraid you're mistaken" she smiled the next words that came out of her mouth left me speechless.

"things didn't end up going your way,

but you don't need to worry they say,

if you smile you will go to a place,

Where you'll be happy till the end of your days~"

"Where did you hear that, it was never documented"
"That's right, and only someone you saved would know it, that night you thought I died, you placed me where I could peacefully pass but I didn't it would take a little more to kill an elf, instead someone found me, the took me and healed me" she lifted her shirt revealing a long scar across her stomach.
"You..." I couldn't finish my sentence.
"You saved me, thank you so much" she leaned down wrapping her arms around me in a tight hug.
"I knew your mother, ofcourse due to me being an elf we never met before today, she...she asked me something before she passed, she asked me to help you learn, she knew about you from your birth, your looks actions and natural ability to use magic, it was obvious to her, but I don't believe it no matter how much proof she brought to the table, I thought she was overreacting, that you were just gifted but now you're standing here right now and I can't bring myself to reject the thought anymore, I'm sorry I didn't find you sooner but I want to give you something" my mind was swimming everything I just heard slowly flowing through my brain, question after question replacing the thoughts, I shook my head and focused on the object now being held out in front of me "it was your mothers, she wanted you to have it after she passed away, I'm sorry I kept it, I just couldn't part with her, you might not remember well but her kindness and beauty was godly even among my kind, and finally I'm sorry I doubted you, thank you for saving me" she stepped back as I stared silently at the locket in my hand, I looked back up to see she already left, i placed the object in my pocket and returned to Sirius who was still in his place talking to a deflated Gravis.

"Let's go" I walk back out into the main room past Embers parents and strait into the kitchen and Up to Ember.

"I appreciate your hard work but I'll see you tomorrow on the train" she nodded as Sirius and Gravis entered the kitchen I grabbed both their hands walked back to the dining room.

"It was great to meet you both but we must be going" Embers father stood and walked over putting out his hand.

"I appreciate your attempt at my daughter and look forward to you being a close family friend" I nodded shaking his hand before turning back to Sirius and Gravis and teleporting us all.

~~

I let out a groan. As I threw the dress from my hand and face planted into my bed.

"It's always the quiet ones that end up being the first to break." siris looked at me confused "But now that she's lost her virginity I almost feel pressured to do it myself." I roll over onto my back as Sirius just stares at me "not that I'm going to" He looks back at the book in his hand "why are you so interested in that book?" I roll back onto my stomach looking up at him.

"Well you seemed so attached to it, I couldn't help but read it" I rolled my eyes.

"Right, are you done packing?" he pointed over to a small suitcase on the other side of the room. "Fine just don't kill my book" I finally got my suitcase shut after having Sirius sit on top of it.

"Jeez its like you packed a whole room" I scowled.

"This is what Gravis told me to pack so to keep him off my back I did so" I let out a sigh as he returned to his resting place. I lifted the covers and crawled under them and up to my spot on my bed slamming my face into my pillows and placing my hands on my head in defeat. I felt Sirius moving and a slight dip on the other side of the bed but honestly I was ready to just fall asleep.

"I was talking to Remus and he said he finally finished the map" I turn my head to the side to see Sirius above me, I rolled over.

"All of it?" Sirius nodded leaning down placing his lips on my neck "Sirius-" I pushed him back a bit

"There fading" I felt him nip at my neck and I frowned a bit.

"What?" he looked back at me.

"If the marks I leave fade how will anyone know your mine" his eyes traced over me and I felt a small shiver run down my spine as he glared at the marks attacking them once more.

~~

"(Y/N)!!!!" my eyes snap open and I sit up quickly ignoring the tingling in my body I saw an angry Gravis cornering a scared shitless Sirius.

"What the fuck!" Gravis turns.

"Watch your language!"

"Get the fuck out!" I yell swiping my hand as he teleports outside my door before I swipe my hand again and the door slams shut locking itself i take a deep breath calming my heavily beating heart.

"(y/n) I'm sorry I wasn't planning on asking for your help but then he cornered me and I-" I frowned and put my arms out.

"I just want a hug" I pouted and he started over immediately giving me a hug.

"What wrong?" I looked down seeing the scattered red marks.

"I'm just a little sore, we have to get our stuff ready to go, what time is it?" he frowned.

"It's nine, why don't you lay down for a little longer and I can wake you up at ten so you have enough time to get dressed and get to the station, I was about to reject but my eyes argued against me as they began to close again.

"Ya okay"
"Sleep well babe" I smile.
"I love you Sirius"

~~

I walked behind Sirius who was practically dragging me through the station.

"Are you really that tired, you could barely get us to the train station" I looked up my eyes half closed barl able to answer.

"I'm not sure why I'm just completely drained" he froze.

"This isn't a fox thing, is it? We are still in the winter season" I shook my head and continued walking pulling him along this time.

"No Foxes don't Hibernate, they just become a little more inactive" he nodded but I feel him tense.

"Do you think someone cursed you" I froze but shook my head.

"I would be able to tell"

"Well, there are better witches and Wizards out there that might want to hurt you" I scowl a bit, I would be able to tell.

"Fine if it makes you feel better I'll check on the train" I freeze it's 5 before 11 but going through the pillar- my thoughts were cut off when Sirius just picked me up and walked through it like it was nothing.

"I still don't get how you can trust that wall" he rolled his eyes.

"Only the bravest" I copied his action as we rushed over through the crowd and onto the train, the doors closed right behind us as the train lurched nearly sending me to the floor but Sirius stopped me from hitting it pulling me into his arm, we walked down the halls really it was me stumbling around and Sirius made sure I don't crack my skull open, I was pulled sideways as Sirius entered a compartment but I ended up falling much to my dismay.

"What happened to her!" Ember keeled down as I hung on Sirius's leg for support. I looked at my hand to see a dark black and blue color spreading through my vains.

"I-I don't know she was fine yesterday but then all of a sudden she began to get tired she couldn't even cast a spell right." I saw Ember scowl.

"Ember, Sirius thinks it's a spell and I'm starting to as well" I lifted one of my arms showing her the effects she nodded and stood putting out her hand.

"(y/n) I need you to try to stay awake for this or it won't work"

"Hold on, are you sure you can do that?" Remus interrupted.

"What? what is she gonna do."

"It's a spell that curses the victim but if cast on someone who is already cursed then it will cancel them both out, if it doesn't work then I will have to attempt the counter curse but I hope it doesn't come to that, not even (y/n) can for sure perform the counter curse properly" Sirius scowled and looked back at me with worry as he kneeled on the ground by me.

"Alright, what do we need to do." he looked desperate as his eyes locked on mine, his eyes were always so pretty they hid this special shine I could never seem to find in my own, I really love Sirius.

"I need you to let her go"
