Not as They Seem (Sirius)

Marvolo left the common room Wearing a simple but cute outfit, tugging on the edge of her sweater she ran a hand through her hair as she made her way down the halls. Suddnely a second year rounded the corner and all but slammed into her "M...ms gaunt" the boy stuttered "I've b...been looking for you" the boy went on to stammer excuses as she glared at him, grabbing him by the shirt she slammed him against the wall.

"Out with it boy" she hissed "th..the attack on the mug-" his voice was gone in a squeak as a well placed slap across his face silenced him "don't speak of that here brooks!" she ground out "get back to the common room...i'll speak to you tonight"

The boy scampered off and she tried to shake off her anger when she realized she wasnt alone.

"Still scaring second years off?" Sirius asked, standing a few feet behind Marvolo. He looked at her body, shaking his head quickly. Stepping closer to her, he nailed his eyes on her. "How are you love?" He asked slowly, breathing heavily.

Marvolo's whole body relaxed when she realized it was Sirius, a smile on her lips she walked over to him and hugged him "A litte stressed but that isn't new..how are you?" she asked looking at his eyes.

Sirius smiled as she hugged him, "Bored. Dangerously bored." he chuckled, looking into her own eyes with his piercing blue ones. "You can however, say the boredom is less overwhelming, since I found you," He said, winking.

She kissed him softly then took his hand leading them to there special room, opening the door she stepped inside, suddenly morgan's scent overwhelmed her. Her jaw tightened and she tried to rid herself of the thought as she walked over to the fireplace and lit the fire.

As Sirius was pulled into the room, he could feel Morgan. As if she was there. But yet, he simply dismissed it. She no longer had him excited as she used to. In fact, she no longer could get him excited as Marvolo could. He shrugged away her scent, and focused on the girl beside him. "I'm sorry I brought her here..." He started, as the fire was lit. He thought Marvolo was gone, and he would be together with Morgan again. But Sirius found out he didn't actually want Morgan. He wanted his Marvolo. And he had her now...

With a wave of her hand a small whirlwind swept the room destroying all scents leaving it fresh and clean "its fine" she said though her voice was strained "shit happens when you slit your wrists" sitting down she ran a hand throuhg her now reddish black hair, coming back was proving more stress then staying there.

Sirius sat down next to Marvolo, "I wasn't expecting you to return. If I knew you were coming back to me..." he sighed, closing his eyes. He had no idea everything would get so complicated. So hard. So tough. He didn't want it to be that way just yet.

She took a deep breath pushing her feelings aside she slipped an arm around him "its okay, you were alive you were living and if it couldnt be me atleast it was her, i love her and i wouldn't trust any other girl with you" she kissed the back of his hand and held it to her chest "i' love you"

Sirius let his body relax, not using strength of any kind. "Not even Luna?" He asked, shaking his head, with a sick chuckle. "I understand what you mean though," He continued, feeling her lips on his hand before Marvolo pressed it against her chest "I love you too, my fiancée..."

She looked up at him and smiled "I cant wait to marry you.." her dark mark burned and the thought crossed her mind that she may never marry him but in this moment..she was sirius black's bride to be and all was right in her world.

She poked him in the ribs and shook her head sitting up she looked at him still holding his hand "I'm going to ask you something and I want you to be honest okay?" she laid her head on the couch and took a deep breath "What would you do if you found Mira?" she watched him keeping eye contact she watched the truth.

Sirius rubbed his ribs slightly, smiling. As Marvolo questioned him, he nodded, looking at the floor at the sound of the following question. He wasn't sure of what to say... "I don't really know...I don't even know where she is, who she is anymore. Don't even know why she left...I love you now. So I'd stay with you..." he said. His tone still showed confusion, but for now, it was clear he loved Marvolo. At least he could be sure he wasn't fooling himself around her.

She squeezed his hand gently and nodded "I understand" she said "but I guess we never know how we will react until presented with the issue at hand"

Sirius kissed her hand again, smiling. "I loved her too...but she left me. And it seems its for good. I love you...and you left me. Yet, you're back..." Sirius smiled, trying to explain what he meant.
