Chapter 23: Recovery

Despite turning up to lessons and turning up to mealtimes, May was still looking depressed. She barely spoke and when she did go to mealtimes, she barely ate. Everyone tried to get her to talk about what she was thinking and what she was feeling but she just shrugged her shoulders and replied with “I'm fine.” Sirius tried his best to get her to open up but she seemed to be pushing him away more than anything.

“Baby. You can't keep hiding your feelings. You need to tell us what is wrong.” Sirius followed her from her potions lesson to the Common Room. The entire way she did not speak a word to Sirius. “May!” He grabbed her arm and turned her to face him. “Speak to me!”

“Let go of me!” She spoke angrily. “Why won't any of you listen to me? I am fine!” She pulled her arm out of his grip and stormed off but he followed her. “LEAVE ME ALONE!” She screamed at him, frightening nearby first years. Still he followed her as she stormed off.

They were getting close to the entrance to the Gryffindor Tower. “May! Listen to me!” Sirius grabbed her arm once again and pulled her into the nearby classroom. “Listen to me! You are making yourself ill!” His hands gripping her forearms tightly, holding her in front of him. “Talk to me!”

“Why?! To tell you what's wrong with me?!” Her anger growing more and more as she tried to pull her arms out of his strong grip. “To tell you that I feel guilty?”

“Guilty? Why would you feel guilty?” Sirius asked in confusion. “What have you got to feel guilty about?”

“My dad!” May shouted at him and finally pulled her arms out of his grip. “When my dad was dying, we were having sex! I could have been with him! I should have been with him! But I was with you!” Angry tears fell down her cheeks and her fists clenched at her sides. “Why didn't I stay with him? I knew he was ill and it was obvious that he was dying! I should have been with him!” She charged towards him and punched his chest repeatedly. Sirius did not fight back. He let her hit him. It was not his fault but she needed to get these feelings out. “I was with you! I was having sex with you!” She sobbed angrily.

“It's not your fault May!” He grabbed her hands to stop her from hitting him any more. “You didn't know he was going to die that day! You didn't know that it was going to happen!” He pulled her into a hug, holding her tightly to his chest. “Oh May!” Rubbing her back in gentle circles. “Don't blame yourself. It wasn't your fault.”

“Yes it was! I should have argued with that healer and made them let me stay.” She sobbed against his chest, her hands gripping onto his shirt and he held her tightly to him. “I wanted to stay with him!”

“I know, May.” He whispered comfortingly in her ear. “You wouldn't have been able to stop it even if you were there.” He kissed the side of her head as they stood in the middle of the classroom. “Don't blame yourself.” Sirius spoke softly. “It wasn't your fault.”

“It feels like it is my fault.” May sobbed against his shirt. “Why does it hurt so much?” Her sobs echoed around the room. They stood with their arms around each other. Sirius comforted her as much as he could but she was still crying.

“Come on. Let's go back to the Common Room.” Sirius whispered in her ear and gently led her out of the empty room with his arm around her shoulder and her arm around his waist with her head leaning on his shoulder. “Don't hide from us May. We're here for you.” Kissing her black hair as they walked into the Common Room after giving the password to the fat lady portrait. They found the Common Room half full with the three remaining Marauders sitting in front of the fire. “Do you want to sit with them?”

May gave a small nod. “Yes please. I need the company.” Allowing Sirius to lead her towards the sofa, where the three boys gave her a smile. “Hi.”

“Feeling better now?” James raised an eyebrow slightly and tapping the spare seat next to him. May moved from Sirius' comforting embrace and sat next to her brother, who immediately wrapped his long, strong arms around his sister. “Stop being silly and tell me what is wrong.” He murmured gently.

“It's fine now.” She sighed softly, hoping James would let it go and she would not have to reveal the truth to him. “I've talked to Sirius about it and he's helped me. All I want from you is for you to be there for me and Mum now.”

“I always have done.” James laughed softly and held her tighter, kissing her hair softly. “I will never let you get hurt again. I promise.” The five stayed by the fire until Peter announced he was going to bed. Remus soon followed him. “I'm off to bed now. Don't stay up too late.” He looked between his best friend and sister, who were sitting together with Sirius' arms wrapped tight around her. James stood up. “Night.” He called to them as he left for his dormitory.

“Night.” May and Sirius called to him but neither of them looked towards him. “Thank you.” May whispered to him. “Don't know where I'd be right now without you.”

Sirius chuckled softly. “Probably in your dormitory.” Kissing the top of her head. “I've missed you.” He murmured against her hair.

“What are you talking about? I've always been here.” She pulled away from him and looked at him in confusion; raising her eyebrow.

“In body you have but in mind you haven't.” He chuckled as he pulled her back into his arms. “I'm glad you are back! All of you.” He smiled when she relaxed into his arms. “Just need to get you smiling more often.” Kissing her neck when it became exposed to him. “I know what will make you.” He held her close as he could. “Quidditch practice tomorrow.”

May groaned. “I'd rather be playing a game than endure James' Quidditch practice.” Groaning again but it turned into a small chuckle as the two relaxed together, looking into the dying fire. “I'm going to bed. I need to sleep.” Trying to pull herself out of Sirius' arms but he held her against him. “Oi!” She grumbled. “I really do need to sleep.” Her grumble changed to a soft giggle when his lips caressed her neck. “Sirius... Please.” Struggling more against his grip. “Stop it!” Pulling out of his arms. “I'm tired!” May giggled and held out her hand. “Come on. I'll stay with you tonight.”

Sirius stood up and shook his head. “No. You go and be with your friends, plus I don't think James would let you stay.” May pushed out her bottom lip to give him a pout. “No! Don't you dare make that face!” He playfully growled at her as she continued to pout in his direction. “No.” He tried to say sternly but he couldn't be stern with her, not after what had happened earlier. His temper scared him and he took it out on May. He loved her but he was scared that he was going to hurt her.

“All right.” May chuckled and wrapped her arms around his neck and pressed her lips against his own. His own arms wrapped around her waist and pulled her close into him. “If you do that and then I won't leave you.” He chuckled as she spoke with her eyes closed. “Please?” She pouted again.

Sirius gave his barked laughter and kissed the tip of her nose. “No. We have classes tomorrow.” Holding her close to him. “Good night.” Kissing her softly, cupping her cheek as they kissed. “Get some sleep. I will meet you here at half 7 for breakfast.” May gave a small nod which was followed by a wide yawn and he kissed her once again. “Good night love.” Kissing her again and letting her go to the girls' dormitories before going to his own.

“Sorry I'm late.” Sirius greeted her with a kiss and tight hug. “James took forever in the bathroom.”

May giggled. “Sounds like James. I'm glad I have my own bathroom at home.” Smiling broadly as she kissed. “Breakfast?”

Breakfast.” He nodded. They were about to leave when James, Remus and Peter came down the stairs. “Coming to breakfast you lot?” Putting his arm around May.

“Don't want to spoil your date.” James grinned towards his sister. “But yes, we're coming to breakfast.” The three Marauders left with Sirius and May, who left arm in arm. “You all right now May?” James asked in concern for his younger sister.

“Yeah. Just needed to talk really.” She looked up at Sirius, who was smiling slightly as the small group walked to the Great Hall for breakfast. “Will you three move a little faster? I am starving.” Sirius chuckled and pulled her closer to him. During breakfast, May ate silently and ate a little more than the day before but to the others it didn't seem enough.

“What class do you have first May?” James asked her before shovelling a piece of bacon in his mouth.

“Attractive James(!)” She said sarcastically as she sipped her tea. “I've got potions.” She sighed jokingly. “I hate potions but I need to get really good marks to be a Healer.” Chuckling softly as she stood up and stepped over the bench. “I'll see you lot at lunch, I've got to go and read over my potions essay before I go.” She kissed Sirius' cheek and ruffled James' hair, making it messier than usual.

James watched her leave and turned to Sirius. “So, why was she so quiet?”

Sirius said nothing for a moment as he ate some scrambled eggs. Once he swallowed his food he began. “She was upset because she wasn't there with your dad when he died and it is hurting her. She's okay now. I think she needed to tell someone.”

“Ah right.” James spoke unconvinced but it was a good enough excuse for him. “Come on. We have a lovely two hours of Transfiguration.” James smirked and ran his hand through his hair, ruffling it more than usual.

Sirius followed James' gaze. “Have you harassed Evans lately?”

“Nah. Not spoken to her properly in a while.” James shrugged his shoulder as he drank his orange juice. “She wrote back after I told her Dad died and she was very supportive.” Chuckling softly as he ran his hand down his chin. “What do we have first?”

“Transfiguration.” Remus spoke and sipped his tea. “Our essays are due in today.”

“What?” James and Sirius turned to face him with shock on their faces. “What essay?” James added on the end.

Remus kept a straight face as he carried on. “Yeah. It was about the properties of changing a bird into a box.”

“I don't remember that in the lessons.” Sirius said in shock as he stared at Remus in disbelief. “Please tell me you are joking.”

Remus kept a straight face for a little longer but he burst out laughing. “Your faces are priceless. No we don't have an essay but I couldn't resist making the pair of you panicking.” Laughing still as the two of them continued to glare at him. “Well, the two of you should not leave your work until the night before.” He stood up. “Ready for Transfiguration?”

“Are we ever?” James chuckled. “What have you got now Pete?”

“Herbology.” He grinned. It was known that he enjoyed Herbology even though he was not doing well with the subject but he still enjoyed it. “I'll see you in Charms.” Peter spoke cheerfully as he left the table and the Great Hall.

Weeks had passed since Sirius had gotten May to confess as to why she was depressed and now she was out of that depressive shell. Due to it being her O.W.L year she was constantly working hard to get the marks she needed to be a healer. May wanted to follow in the footsteps of her mother. Due to her studying a lot, she and Sirius spent very little time together and it was frustrating for them both. The only times they were together was in the late evening or at Quidditch practice.

May was finding her O.W.L year stressful and her work hard but she found a saviour in Lily Evans. “Thanks Lily.” May whispered as Lily helped May to finish a Potions essay in the library.

“No problem. I was glad you asked. Feel like we haven't spoken for a long time.” Lily smiled as she wrote her own essay. “How have you been?”

“I'm good.” May nodded slowly as she looked up from her essay and at Lily. “Coping but I am getting there.” Her smile faded slightly. “I just feel different.” She bit her lower lip and glanced around them to make sure no one was able to overhear them. She leant forward and Lily moved closer. “I've missed a period.”

“Oh!” Lily spoke in shock. “So it is true then. You and Sirius have been having sex.” May blushed brightly and sat back in her chair. “But have you been careful?”

May nodded. “Yes...” She paused for a moment or two. “The day my dad died. That was the only time we forgot. I've only just realised. Oh Merlin!” She gasped and covered her mouth with her hand in shock. “What do I do? I'm pregnant.” She whispered in shock. “I can't be! I promised mother that I would wait until the time is right. This isn't the time.”

“May stop it!” Lily moved her chair next to her friend and wrapped an arm around May. “You don't know for sure yet. Let's go to Madam Pomfrey and ask her to give you a test.”

“No! She knows my mother and she will tell her!” May's tears fell fast down her cheeks.

“Only if the test comes back positive. Madam Pomfrey will only tell you to tell your mother. She will not break confidence. It is your responsibility to tell your mother but only if the test comes back positive.” Lily tried to reassure her friend but it was obvious that May was becoming more and more agitated about the prospect of being pregnant at 16. “Come on. Let's go and see Madam Pomfrey. Just to put your mind at rest.”

May nodded slowly and quickly wiped away her tears as a couple of Hufflepuff boys walked past them. “Let's finish our work first.” Pulling away from Lily. “Lil?”

“Yeah?”

“Can you not tell anyone? Not even Sirius. I will tell him when the time is right.” May spoke softly as she dipped the nib of quill into her ink pot and she continued on with her work.

“I won't tell anyone.” Lily gave her a smile and she too returned to her work. After an hour's work, Lily stopped writing. “May, we need to go to Madam Promfrey. You need to find out the truth.”

May sighed heavily and stared at her parchment and she threw her quill onto the table. “Yeah. I've barely written anything. I can't think. I need to get this off my mind.” Lily gave her a silent nod and the two of them packed away their things and made their way to the Hospital Wing. “Stay with me.” May looked at the red head friend as they stood outside the door. “I'm scared.”

“It will be fine. I promise.” Lily reached out and held her hand. “I'll be with you every step of the way, no matter what the outcome.”

May gave Lily a smile as a tear ran down her cheek. “Thank you Lily. Definite Godmother if I am pregnant.” Giving a small, but nervous, chuckle. The two walked into the Hospital Wing to find Remus sitting on the edge of a bed. “Oh no.” May whispered. It had been a full moon the night before and he was obviously in the Hospital Wing to recover. “Hello Remus. How you feeling?” She walked towards him.

“Good. Recovered. I'm allowed to go.” He stood up gingerly. “Why are you here? You feeling ok?”

May gave him a false smile but he didn't seem to notice. “Yeah. Just been having horrible headaches.” She rubbed her forehead. “Going to ask Madam Pomfrey for a draught or something to get rid of it.” Madam Pomfrey had come out of her office as May spoke.

“Oh right.” Remus didn't sound convinced but he wasn't one to delve into people's personal lives. “Do you want me to tell Sirius and James where you are?”

“Nah. There's no need to tell them about a simple headache. Thanks anyway.” She smiled to Remus as he walked out of the Hospital Wing with a wave over his shoulder.

“Right, a simple headache solution.” The school nurse was about to walk into the office but May stopped her.

“It isn't a headache, Madam Pomfrey.” May spoke softly. “I had to lie to Remus as I didn't want James or Sirius to find out the real reason why I am here.” The older woman stopped and looked between the two friends. Lily remained silent as May spoke again. “I think I'm pregnant.” May spoke softly.

“Oh right.” The school matron spoke in shock. “Come and lie on the bed.” Leading her to the nearest bed. “All I'm going to do is a simple spell and it will tell us if you are pregnant or not. Miss Evans, could you please wait outside?”

“I'm fine, Lily. I won't be long.” May smiled nervously and handed her back to Lily.

“Ok.” Lily spoke in an unsure tone and left the Hospital Wing.

May lay down on the bed as Madam Pomfrey stood over her. “How do you test it?”

“Just a simple spell, Miss Potter.” She gave May a reassuring smile. “Could you lift up your shirt slightly, just to expose your abdomen?” May did this silently and Madam Pomfrey silently waved her wand over May's stomach and nothing happened.

“Well, Miss Potter. You are not pregnant.” She announced and May gave a nervous laugh. “Why did you think you were pregnant?”

“My period is late and I've been feeling ill.” May spoke as she sat up, pushing her shirt down and tucking it back into her skirt.

“May, you've been under a lot of stress. With the loss of your father and it being your O.W.L year, I'm not surprised that your body is undergoing a lot of stress.” The older woman disappeared into her office and brought out a draught. “Drink this. It will relax you for a few hours but you need to concentrate on relaxing more and not getting yourself worked up about everything.”

May downed the potion in one and handed her the empty vial. “Thank you.” May climbed off the bed. “Please don't tell anyone.” Giving a small and nervous smile as she tidied herself up. Madam Pomfrey nodded silently and walked into her office, leaving May to exit the Hospital Wing alone. When May opened the door, she found Lily waiting for her. May gave her a smile and shook her head. “No. I'm not.”

“Good.” Lily nodded. “Back to the library?” Holding out May's bag to her.

May took her bag as she thought for a moment. “I'm going to go back to the Common Room. Madam Pomfrey told me I need to relax more and not get myself too stressed. So I'm going to relax for the rest of the evening.” Shifting her bag onto her shoulder. “You coming? You look like you need a relax.”

“I will later.” Lily smiled. “Just need to get another book out of the library and I will be back. Meet you in the Common Room?”

“Sure.” They quickly hugged and went off in different directions. May returned to the Common Room and finally spent some decent and quality time with Sirius. Lily soon joined them but it seemed that she and James were not as affectionate as they were at the New Year's ball.
