Chapter 22: Devastation

Sirius grinned at the sight of May as she finally climbed out of her shower, reaching for the large, fluffy towel and wrapping it around her wet body. Sirius sat on the edge of her bath with his own towel wrapped around his waist. They both had showered together. Washing away their scent of the other. Rather reluctantly. Sirius watched her as she rubbed moisturiser on her arms and legs. If they had time he would drag her back to her bed, or even stay in the bathroom, and the two have sex again and again but James and Mrs Potter would be back soon.

“Stop staring.” May grinned up at him as she placed the bottle of moisturiser in the small cupboard. She stood in front of him with her towel still around her. She stood a little closer and cupped his face with her hands and bent down and kissed him. Sirius did something he could not resist, he pulled off her towel. “Sirius!” She squealed when she pulled away from his lips.

“I couldn't help it. I love your body.” Wrapping his arms around her body, pulling her closer. “You are beautiful.” Running his hand up her thigh and reaching between her legs, causing her to gasp softly at the touch. Sirius smirked and was about to stand up but May placed her hands on his shoulders and she straddled his lap. “Oh it's like that, is it?” Pulling her tighter into him and standing her up with his arms. “You do know that we have to shower again after this.” May nodded and let her lips move to his neck, gently sucking the skin.

“Well, what do you propose we do about that problem?” Wrapping her legs tightly around his waist and glancing behind her at the shower. Sirius pulled her into a tight and passionate kiss and carried her towards the shower. This shocked Sirius as May didn't seem to be the kind of girl who would be the person to initiate sex but here, she was dragging her nails down Sirius' back and tightening her legs around him.

He pressed her against the wall and pushed off his towel as best as he could but with May's legs around him it was difficult. The kisses became even more heated and Sirius searched for the shower switch, while still holding onto May. “This isn't working.” He laughed. They kissed for a moment before May removed her legs from around him. Sirius stepped back, pushed off the towel and reached inside the shower cubicle to turn on the hot water.

May giggled and stepped inside the cubicle. “Are you coming?” Smirking back at him as the water soaked her body once again. Sirius grinned widely and stepped inside, immediately closing the door and lifting May up again.

“James will kill us if he finds out what we've been doing since we got back.” May giggled as the two of them walked down the stairs to the sitting room, both now dry and fully dressed with their arm around the other. “I never thought I'd have sex in the shower.”

Sirius laughed lightly. “Glad you liked it.” Kissing her cheek and led her into the sitting room where they sat on the sofa together. May put her feet up on the comfy sofa and leant against Sirius.

“Thank you.” She whispered.

“For what?” He held her tighter.

May gave a heavy sigh. “For being here for me, James and Mum.” Chuckling softly. “I think we'd would be lost without you. Without your presence, I don't think we'd hold it together.” Tears silently fell down her cheeks, dropping onto his shirt. Sirius felt this and held her closely. “I love you Sirius.”

“I love you too.” He kissed the top of her head and the two sat in silence for another five minutes when the room was filled with green light, announcing the arrival of James. “All right Prongs?”

“Hello you two.” James grinned as he brushed off the dust and moved away from the fireplace with him he carried a few bags, which were filled with shopping.

“Mum went overboard?” May giggled softly as James dropped the bags onto one of the other sofas. “She does know that there are only four of us eating.” The room was filled with green light, which announced the arrival of Mrs Potter, who also had more bags. “Mum! There are only four of us here! You've brought enough food to feed the whole of Hogwarts.”

Elizabeth laughed and put the bags on the sofa with the bags that James had brought. “It's enough food for us until you go back to Hogwarts. Saves me going shopping too many times. You three eat like horses.” Laughing softly. “James, Sirius, could you take these into the kitchen? Lookie will start the dinner.” James and Sirius groaned. James picked up his shopping bags as Sirius kissed the top of May's head before standing up and leaving with the remaining shopping bags. “Right, Miss Potter. We need to talk.” Sitting next to her daughter. “Right, this conversation will stay between us two.” Raising her wand and the door closed.

“Oh Merlin.” May sighed heavily. “I think I know where this is going.”

“You do?” She asked curiously. Elizabeth waited for May to continued but the teen remained silent. “James told me that you and Sirius stayed in the Room of Requirement from when the New Year's Ball finished until the early morning.” Raising an eyebrow at her only daughter, who seemed to be blushing brightly. “Ah I see!” Reaching out and holding May's hand. “As your mother, I want you to be careful.”

“Mum!” May gasped in embarrassment. “I know the protection charm. You taught me.” She mumbled and kept her gaze away from her mother.

“I just want you to be careful. Finished Hogwarts and get a career before you have children.” Placing her hand on May's knee.

“Mum!” May exclaimed. “We're being careful! I am most certainly not going to get pregnant while in school and not so soon after school. I promise you Mum! Sirius and I are being really careful. Just...” Glancing towards the closed door, trying to hear if anyone was outside the door. “Don't tell James. He will murder Sirius.”

Elizabeth pulled May into a motherly hug, which May gladly accepted. “I promise that I will not tell James. I wouldn't do that to Sirius. He's like a son to me. Anything else you want to tell me about you and Sirius? You two seem pretty close.”

“Yes actually. Um... On Christmas Day, Sirius gave me a present. He's got his own place now and he gave me a key to his place. Over the summer, if it is ok with you and Daddy, he wants me to stay there occasionally.” Looking up at her mother with hope. “He wants me to move in with him when I've finished school.”

Elizabeth gave a heavy smile. “I can't see why I can't say no.” Hugging her tightly. “But only if James stays there too.”

The door opened slowly to reveal James and Sirius. “Are you two finished? Lookie needs to talk to you Mum.” James spoke with a smile as the two of them moved further into the room. “She wants to know which food to make for May's dinner.”

Elizabeth nodded and smiled, tapping May's knee before she stood up. “Of course. I will call you three when it is ready.” Walking out of the room, leaving the three youngsters alone.

Sirius moved and sat in his previous seat, next to May and James sat on the opposite sofa. Sirius wrapped his arm around May's shoulder and held her close to him. “So? What shall we do until dinner?”

James smirked. “How about a little quidditch? One on one and one of us is keeper. We swap every ten minutes so we all get a chance to play. Plus we need the training.” Still smirking towards May. “Especially the female in the room.”

“Oi!” May exclaimed and threw a cushion at him before returning to the comfort of Sirius' arm. “You are just jealous that I'm a better chaser than you.” Sticking her tongue out at him.

“Yeah right (!)” He retorted sarcastically. “Actually, if you could, could you play seeker on the next game? Samson broke his ankle and I don't have a replacement. You are a better seeker than me.” James gave her a genuine smile and a nod.

“Seriously?” May raised an eyebrow as she sat up straight. Her eyes wide with shock, surprise and hope. James gave a nod. “Really?” May was still unsure.

“Yes! I know you can play seeker really well. Probably better than Samson.” James laughed as May stood up and dived onto him, hugging him tightly. “Thank you! Thank you!” She squealed as she hugged her brother tightly. “Oh Merlin! I am going to have to train a lot!” She giggled as she let go of James and sat next to him.

The door opened slowly to reveal and gaunt, upset and tired Mrs Potter. All three of them looked at her. “Mum?” James stood up slowly as Dumbledore and a Healer from St Mungo's walked into the room. “No... Please no!”

May and Sirius stood up slowly. “Professor?” May whispered softly, tears already beginning to fall down her cheeks. The three remained silent as they watched the youngsters. “Merlin, no!” May gasped as Dumbledore stepped forward.

“I'm sorry.” Dumbledore spoke gently. “Your father died an hour after you all left him.” Stepping forward towards as the Healer helped Mrs Potter to sit down in the nearest chair as she silently wept into her hands. “I am very sorry.” Watching May and James' reactions. The siblings stood in silence. They were in shock from the news.

May made the first move and reached out to hold James' hand. Tears brimmed in her eyes and they soon spilled from her eyes. She turned her head to look at her brother and his face had no emotion but once he looked at his sister, he crumbled; the tears fell fast. He pulled his hand away from May's hand gently and moved over to his mother, kneeling next to her. May followed him and knelt on her mother's other side, resting her head in Elizabeth's lap. The three of them cried silently as the others watched as the family mourned.

- - - - – - - - - – - - - – – - - - - - - - - - -

The funeral took place a week after Mr Potter's death. At all times, Sirius was at the Potter's side, giving them comfort. Mrs Potter remained in her room after the funeral. Lookie took her meals up to the frail woman and brought back on half eaten plates. This worried James and Sirius as Mrs Potter looked thin as it is and now she was not eating much, which wouldn't be good for her health.

James mourned differently to his mother and sister. He was silent and depressed but he also remained in his father's office, which was now his, and began learning about all his father's business on running the family's affairs, which consisted of charities and stock takings. He wasn't even 17 yet and he already had a lot of responsibilities on his shoulders. “Can I do this Pads?” He asked Sirius, the day after the funeral. “Be the heir?” James sat at his father's desk, looking over some papers.

“I know you can Prongs.” Sirius sat across from him. “Your mother said she would help you to understand everything but would rather you get through school first and finish your N.E.W.T's.” Leaning back in the tall and comfy chair, watching his best friend, who seemed tired. “Are you ok here? I'm going to check on May.”

“Oh yes please! I'm worried about her.” James looked up at Sirius, who was already standing up. “She's been hiding in her room and only coming out for meals and going to see mother.” Running his hand through his messy hair and leaning back into his chair. “Let me know how she is and tell her that we're going back to school in 3 days.”

“Ok.” Sirius nodded and left his best friend alone as he went in search of May. The first place he needed to look was the library and then secondly her bedroom. “May?” He spoke softly as he entered the library. “Baby, are you in here?”

“At the back, by the window.” A small voice came from behind shelves of books. Sirius followed the source of the voice and he found her sitting on a comfy chair next to the window. “This was my favourite place to sit with father whenever we read a book together.” There was a large book in her lap: Hogwarts: a History. “This was the first book he bought me and read with me.”

Sirius sat in the opposite chair and gave her a small smile. “Do you want me to go?”

May shook her head as she turned a page. “No. I want you to stay.” Reaching out to touch his hand, which he took and held tightly. “I'm glad you are here.”

Sirius gave her a small smile. “You've been hiding.” Chuckling softly as he swept his thumb over her hand in gentle circles. “James said we're going back to Hogwarts in 3 days. Ok?”

May gave a small smile and a nod. “Of course it is ok.” Pulling her hand away and closing her book. “I'm packed and ready to leave whenever we can.” Standing up, her long black hair swinging down her back as she walked towards a bookcase, putting the book onto a shelf. Her hand lingered on the leather bound book for a moment before returning to her chair. She didn't sit in the same chair but sat on Sirius' lap.

Sirius smiled as she relaxed into his arms. This was a comfort for them both. Mr Potter had been more of a father to Sirius than his own father had been. Her head rested on his shoulder and she curled her legs up to get comfortable. “We've barely spent time together.”

“I know. I've been so tired.” She sighed softly and closed her eyes for a moment. “I just want to go back to school and become distracted in work and revision.”

“I know.” Sirius rubbed her back with one hand and rubbed her leg with his other hand affectionately and comfortingly. “It will get better soon.”

“How can you be so sure? You've never lost a parent before.” May whispered angrily but did not move from her comfortable position in Sirius' arms.

“I've lost both my parents. They may be alive, May, but they stopped being my parents the day I was sorted into Gryffindor.” He turned his head gently and kissed her dark head. “So I do know how you feel but I'm going what you are going through. Your father was more of a father to me than my own father was.”

May chuckled lightly. “That is true.” She untangled herself from his arms and climbed off his lap. “It's time for dinner.” Holding her hand out to him. “You coming?” Sirius gave a smile and stood up, holding her hand and allowing her to lead him out of the library and to dinner.

The day for the teens to return to Hogwarts came. James was the most reluctant to leave as he didn't want to leave his mother alone but she insisted that he return to a normal routine. It would do them all good, according to Mrs Potter.

Sirius promised the old woman that he would keep an eye on the siblings. This was reassuring for her as she knew that it would take months for James and May to ever overcome the death of their father. He was one of many who could help the brother and sister. But for them to accept their help was another question. James would probably accept the help first but May would be harder as she was closer to her father than James was and she kept her emotions hidden.

Once back in Hogwarts, the trio went to their own dormitories. May found herself alone in her dormitory. She emptied her bag contents into her trunk and sat on the edge of her bed. Her world felt so big without her father in it. There was a black empty hole where her father should be but now he was buried in Godric's Hallow. Hundreds of miles away from her. James wasn't too far away from her but she felt so alone.

The young girl stood up and walked to the window, sitting on the small window seat and looked down at the snow covered school. The snow was slowly melting but it was still dominating the scenery and landscape. Tears rolled down her cheeks as she stared out of the window. It had been nearly two weeks since her father had died and she was still getting used to the fact. Whenever she was alone, the tears would fall fast and hard but she would never sob. She had never opened up to anyone and let the tears and sobs leave her.

The door to her dormitory opened and she quickly wiped her eyes and cheeks but it was obvious that she had been crying. She kept her eyes on the beautiful grounds of the school until the person spoke. “Ummm... May.” Katie spoke quietly and timidly. May turned to face her. “I'm sorry to hear about your dad. My dad was killed in a car accident when I was 8 so if you want to talk to someone who knows what you are going through, I'm happy to be that person. Despite our differences.”

May gave her a small and lopsided smile, along with a small nod. “Thank you. I will keep that in mind.” Turning back to look out into the world, feeling trapped within the walls of a school she dearly loved.

“Don't bottle it up May. It will hurt you.” Katie spoke quietly and left the dormitory without saying another word, closing the door quietly and quickly walked down the stairs and into the Common Room. Sirius caught her eye and Katie gave him a nod before moving towards her friends. Sirius strained his hearing and thankfully the girls did not gossip about May, as it would anger him if they did. She didn't need to be the source of gossip.

Back in the dormitory, May had moved from the window seat to her trunk and begun getting ready for bed. She knew that it was going to get harder. Everyone was going to be talking about her father's death and they would be constantly coming up to her to say how sorry they were for her family's loss. She tied her long hair into a plait after she had changed into her pyjamas. By the time she was ready for bed, she could hear the footsteps of girls coming up the stairs to bed. If it was her friends, she didn’t want to see or talk to them so she immediately climbed into bed, drew the curtains and placed a silencing charm, so they would not disturb her or hear her.

Not long after she had climbed into bed, May heard the door to the dormitory open and quiet footsteps entered the room. Even though she had put a silencing charm so the others would not hear her, May kept very still and very quiet. She wasn’t in the mood to talk to anyone at that point. It was going to be a long week.

The new school term had started again and there was one person not present in the 5^th year lessons and it was May. Her dormitory were worried about her as she would not leave her bed, only to use the bathroom and to sneak out at night. They told James and Sirius but they couldn’t go up to the girls’ dormitories and they never seem to catch her out of bed. It had been over a fortnight since her father’s death and it was obviously beginning to take its toll on her.

James, Sirius, Hannah and even Katie were so worried that the four of them went to Professor McGonagall to tell them their worries about May and her lack of attendance in class and her unable to attend any meal times. James knocked on the transfiguration professor’s office door and he heard her stern, “Come in.”

The four of them entered the office, one behind the other. “Good evening Professor.” James spoke first once Katie shut the door.

“How can I help the four of you?” She peered at them over her spectacles, her hands folded in front of her on her desk.

“It’s my sister, Professor. We’re all very worried about her.” James spoke for the four of them. “She’s not leaving her dormitory, she’s not going to her classes, Quidditch training and I don’t think she is eating.”

The woman nodded slowly as James spoke. “Have you told your mother about this?”

James shook his head. “No. I don’t want her to worry. She’s got so much on her mind as it is. I want to deal with this without mother knowing much. If it becomes too serious, I will tell mother.” He kept his gaze locked with McGonagall’s stern one.

She slowly nodded. “Fine. Only if it doesn’t get too serious.” She stood up from her chair and walked around her desk. “I will speak to Miss Potter alone.” She walked out of her office, the four teenagers followed her out of the office and to the Gryffindor Tower. Once inside, she went straight up the stairs to the 5^th year girls’ dormitory as James and all waited in the Common Room.

May lay on her bed with her curtains slightly open. She wasn't asleep but she lay there with her eyes closed. When she heard the dormitory door open, she froze. She kept very still as she did not want to talk to the person who had just entered the room. “May.” Spoke a soft voice. May turned over and saw her transfiguration professor slowly opening her curtains. McGonagall sat on the edge of May’s bed. “Your brother and friends are worried about you.”

May slowly and silently sat up. She cast her eyes downwards, not wanting to meet the usually stern look from the teacher. “I’m fine professor.” She nervously looked up at the older woman and was met with a soft and concerned look from the woman, something she had barely seen from her. “I don’t know why they are so worried. I’m perfectly fine.”

McGonagall raised an eyebrow. “You are not fine, Miss Potter. I know you have had quite a shock from her father’s death but if you do not get into a proper routine, you will become ill and I do not think your mother and brother want that for you.” Her features softened. “You should talk to someone. Don’t keep your feelings and thought bottled up. It won’t do you any good.” She reached over and patted the girl’s hand. “In a week, I want you back in lessons. I will speak with your other teachers and let them know that you need a little more time.”

May nodded and gave her a small smile. “Thank you professor.”

“First things first. I want you to come to dinner this evening. No arguments. If I find you are not there, I will ask the Bloody Baron to send Peeves up here.” She gave a small smile and a wink to May. “See you at dinner.” Giving May’s hand another pat before standing up and leaving the room.

May sat and thought about the small conversation with Professor McGonagall and she knew that the teacher was right. She couldn’t hide away from everyone. It would not do her any good nor her family and friends. True to her word, May attended dinner and tried to eat as much as she could but still her heart and mind was still not into it. It was going to take a lot of time for her to come to the terms of the loss of her father.
