Chapter 141

"Do you know what," Adria tutted as she lay between Sirius' legs, her head lay on his bare stomach, her hand tracing the light bulb that was currently on, absentmindedly placing small kisses to his stomach as she spoke.

"What?" Sirius laughed, running his hands through her hair softly, gently untangling the long curls as best as he could, "you okay, baby girl?"

"Yes, I'm alright," she attempted to nod, pushing herself further up to be closer to him, "but I really miss irn bru."

"You had irn bru yesterday," Sirius scoffed, his eyebrow raised as Adria glared at him, pushing herself up to sit cross legged between his legs.

"It's not the same!" she exclaimed, "in Scotland, I could just waltz right down to the fridge, and oh look, there's irn bru, but here, it's all, having to walk four miles to find a tiny corner shop that may or may not sell a tiny bottle of it that I can drink in one go!"

"Calm down-"

She pushed herself forward until she was close to his face, her eyes narrowed and her finger pointed at him accusingly as she whispered, "do not tell a girl to calm down."

"Is it bad that you're turning me on right now?" he whispered, a cheeky smirk taking over his features as he watched her eyes narrow, although it was hard not to see the amused smile twitching over her lips.

"I hate you."

"You do not," he mumbled, his eyes evidently trailing to her lips, "I'll tell you what-"

"What?"

His eyes lifted to hers to glare, seeing them wide - puppy like - he couldn't help the smile that fell onto his lips as his hand sneaked around her waist, pulling her closer, "if you kiss me, then I'll go get you some more irn bru."

"Tempting," she smirked, humming as she moved closer until their lips where brushing, and she couldn't help but feel proud when his breath hitched. She moved her lips to the very corner of his, pressing the tiniest kiss to his skin until she trailed down his jaw, moving to his neck.

"Adria," he growled, unable to see the smirk placed across her lips. She felt him tense ever so slightly, his hand gripping tighter at her waist as her lips brushed a specific spot, and not soon after was she kissing that very spot, sucking at the skin as he whispered empty protests, "you better not leave a mark."

She couldn't help but laugh as she pushed herself up after a few moments, sending him a cheeky smirk as she glanced at her work, lifting herself off of the bed before winking, "I already did."

"Oi!" Sirius exclaimed, capturing her quickly before she could walk out of the door, pulling her back, "where do you think you're going, you little tease!"

"I am not!" Adria exclaimed, casually closing the door by nudging it with her foot before turning around to face him, "don't know what you're talking about."

"Oh really?" asked Sirius, his eyebrow raised as he looked down at her, seeing her shrug as she wrapped her arms around his neck, slowly biting her lip as her eyes trailed over him, finally meeting his eyes and completely oblivious to the effect she had over him, "you are going to be the death of me, Adria Hopkins."

"I hope not," she frowned, suddenly squealing when he pushed her against the wall, "Sirius you gave me a heart attack!"

"I hope not," he mimicked her his hands trailing down her until they reached her thighs, and soon did she realise what he was doing, holding onto him as she wrapped her legs around his waist, "much better."

"Not if my dad walked in," she scoffed, a grin on her lips at the look he was giving her, "don't think he'd be too happy."

"No, I really wouldn't think so," Sirius nodded, his thumb tracing small circles on her thigh as he held her against the wall, taking in the grin on her lips, her eyes fluttering open and closed as she stared at him, swirling with adoration, soaring with happiness at the boy in front of her.

"I love you," she whispered, her head titled ever so slightly, taking in the features adorned on the boy's face, she had to admit that he was rather handsome, gorgeous, and she knew she wasn't the only one to think that, but appearance, to her, was like getting an extra chocolate bar when you only asked for one, a bonus, maybe, it didn't mean much, what mattered was inside, the soul, personality, beauty shone within.

If the person wasn't a beautiful person inside, then their outer appearance just didn't matter, they were hollow, but Sirius, merlin, Sirius Black had a beautiful soul, that begged to come out, that he didn't know how to react when he first met the girl, pranking her instead, but he talked to her, and it worked, and now, he had the beautiful girl that he couldn't stop staring at.

She was beautiful inside.

"I love you too, to the moon and back," he whispered, steadying her as he walked to her bed, a laugh escaping both of their lips as they fell back, Adria's hands resting on Sirius' chest.

"And a stop within the stars," she mumbled softly, her hand resting on the back of his neck as she pulled him down, meeting his lips halfway, savouring the perfect feeling of his mouth on hers, and soon did she bite his lip, softly, gently, the way he liked it, allowing him to part his lips and soon their tongues battled together, dancing in their mouths, breaths tangled together, Adria's legs around Sirius' waist.

"You're wearing too much clothes," Sirius whispered as he pulled away for a breath, helping Adria take off the shirt she was wearing and soon was it at the other side of the room, he had seen her shirtless plenty of times before, but every time was like seeing an angel, he loved every curve, every indent of her skin, every 'flaw' that just didn't seem like a flaw, it seemed like a mark to say that she was alive, every freckle, every stretch mark was simply perfect.

"Sirius," she whispered, her hand on the side of his cheek as she guided him to look at her, panting slightly for a breath as she stared at him, "I want to do it."

"Adria-"

"I promise."

"Are you sure?" he whispered, searching her features for any sign of hesitance, but she merely nodded.

"I'm positive."

-

"One more year," Benji whispered, his hand clutching Arden's as their foreheads rested together, "that's all until I have you, I can do it, right?"

"Maybe, but I don't think I can," Arden mumbled softly, her eyes filling with tears at the thought of leaving him again, "I'm so in love with you, Benjamin Hopkins, until I die."

"And all the years after," Benji muttered, moving with his other hand to lift her chin, capturing her lips in a kiss, "I don't want you to go."

"I don't want to leave," she laughed softly, shaking her head, tracing soft patterns on his cheek bone, "but it'll be Christmas soon, and I'll see you then."

"I know," Benji sighed, his arms hugging her close, "oh god I'm going to miss you, so much, it's simply painful having to watch you go."

"It's painful going, Ben," she pushed herself onto her tiptoes when his nose scrunched up at the name, pressing a soft kiss to his nose and then moving to his lips, moving perfectly together as they wrapped up in their own little world.

"Goodbye, my little prince," Adria sighed, her hand in his as he stood on his own, liking to be able to do things on his own, Jude was rather independent.

"Why do you have to go?" he asked, lifting his head to stare at her, his petted lip quivering as his eyes glazed with tears. His head titled ever so slightly to the side, and with a sigh tumbling from Adria's lips, she threw her arms around him tightly.

"I'll be back before you know it!" Adria whispers.

"You're my princess!" Jude nods, pressing his forehead to her lips, "I love you Addy!"

"And you're my little prince," she giggled softly as he pulled away, suddenly feeling a hand on her shoulder to see the sight of Sirius clad in his leather jacket, his lip between his teeth as he crouches.

"Hey buddy," Sirius smiles softly, leaning over to ruffle Jude's hair, a small sigh falling from the toddler's lips as he pulled away from Adria, waddling over to Sirius and throwing his arms around him tightly.

The look that Sirius shared with Adria was enough to tell her that he was forcing down the tears. Sirius picked himself up, Jude clutched in his arm as he held onto him, bouncing ever so slightly as the boy's sobs filled the platform.

"Please don't go!" he cried, shaking his head as he reached out for Adria, oblivious to what he was doing to her heart as she held onto him, her head pressed to Sirius' shoulder as Jude's buried into her neck.

"I'll see you in just a few months, baby, and we'll have so much fun, yeah?" she nodded, lifiting his head so he would stare at her, "we'll bake cookies, and watch films, and make blanket dens, and make hot chocolate, we'll do the lot, and I'll even let you help me prank Benji with me, how does that sound?"

"G-good," Jude pouted, nodding his head softly as Sirius moved behind Adria, pressing a kiss to Jude's forehead, "I love you, Siri."

"I love you too, buddy," Sirius whispered, a smile on his lips as he reached for Jude's hand, "so much!"

"We're going to miss the train!" Alina exclaimed, taking Jude from Adria to hug him herself, and soon did both Adria and Sirius move to Douglas, throwing their arms around him in a tight hug.

"My daughter, my son in law," Douglas sighed, "growing up far too fast!"

"Love you dad," Adria laughed softly, "I'll see you at Christmas, I'll miss you so much!"

"I'll miss you too, sweetheart," Douglas whispered, trying his best to supress his tears, "both of you!"

"I'll miss you, Douglas," Sirius smiled softly, patting the man's shoulder before moving onto Benji, hugging the boy tightly as Adria hugged Alfie.

"Make sure my god daughter knows I love her every day," Adria warned Alfie as she hugged him, he made sure that he wouldn't miss his baby sisters, and his brother going back to school, he loved them all too much.

"Don't worry, I'll make sure of it," Alfie chuckle, patting Adria's head.

"You know, if you think of it, if you just betted that I'd cry we could share the winnings," Adria tutted as she moved on to Benji, watching his smile widen as he threw his arms around her tightly, "only a year Benji, and we'll have Christmas, and then we'll have forever to be the coolest twins."

"We already are the coolest," Benji laughed softly, "just far too far apart, I'll promise to write Adria, I wish summer didn't have to end."

"I know," Adria sighed, "everything will be different, we won't be high schoolers anymore!"

"Don't think of it," Benji shook his head, "I'll miss you Addy."

"I'll miss you too, Benji," she mumbled into his chest, "every day, I love you."

"I love you too."

"We need to go," Sirius sighed, reaching for Adria's hand and pulling her with him, bidding their family a goodbye as they boarded the train, "it's the last year of doing that."

"Thank merlin," Adria grumbled, bidding a quick goodbye to Arden, Lia and Alina as she moved along the hallway.

"You know to cheer us up," Sirius trailed off, his lips on her neck in the empty hallway until she turned to glare at him, "we could always find an empty compartment."

"Is that all you think about?" she asked, her eyebrow raised as she rolled her eyes, her lips twitching into an amused smile as she pulled him along, "and besides, I can't break tradition!"

"Well, we wouldn't be in there for the full train ride," he shrugged.

"Bummer," she teased, chuckling as she pulled him into the compartment in which their friends where already sitting.
