Chapter 28: Growing Up Is Vital

When May went to bed that night, she curled into a ball and sobbed her heart out. Everything was going wrong to herself and to those around her. This was a time that she needed her mother. She needed a female to speak to. She loved James and she loved Sirius but she needed someone, who would actually listen. “Hannah.” She sighed heavily and sat up. Glancing up at her clock, it was 1 in the morning. Hannah wouldn't mind. She was probably awake and writing to Remus. May wiped her eyes and approached her desk.

The moon shone through her window as she sat down. She pulled out a piece of parchment from the desk drawer. Last time she saw Hannah was in school. Hannah was away in America when May's mother died and could not come back for the funeral. Lily had come to the funeral but she had left immediately afterwards due to a holiday, which she could not get out of. May gave a heavy sigh and leaned back against her chair, twirling her quill between her fingers. Finally she began to write:

Hey Hannah. I needed to write to you. I just needed to tell somebody everything. I can't James and I can't talk to Sirius. I only have you and Lily. To tell you the truth, I'm scared. I have never felt so alone in my life. With mum now gone, I don't know what to do. James and I are going to Sirius' flat soon to help him decorate but there is something I need to tell him. Lily knows. I had a pregnancy scare a few months after dad died. I haven't had the courage to tell him. Should I tell him? We've got a good thing going and I don't want to ruin it by telling him this secret.

May stopped writing and sighed heavily. For months she had thought about telling Sirius about the pregnancy scare. Over and over in her mind, she played out situations to what could happen if she told Sirius. They mainly ended with Sirius breaking up with her or she breaking up with Sirius. It was going to be a bad idea but she needed to tell him. She continued writing.

I will have to tell him but I need your help. What shall I say to him? I think I will just blurt it out. I hope to see you over the summer. Let me know when you are in Diagon Alley. James said you are welcome to come and stay with us during the last week of the summer. Write back soon. I just need a friend right now. All my love, May. Xxx

She folded the letter and sealed it, quickly writing Hannah's name and address on the front. Her attention turned to her owl, who was asleep with her head in her wing. May chuckled and shook her head. The delivery of her letter would have to wait until morning. Now she was really wide awake. The whole house was asleep except for her. She gave a frustrated sigh as she stood up and walked to her bedroom window. The grounds were dark and she could see the trees which lined the walkway to the gates. The grounds looked eerie at night.

A thought came to her. She put on a pair of warm trousers and a large jumper, along with her quidditch boots. Quietly, she left her room and walked through the house, down the stairs and made her way outside and into the grounds. It was cold but not freezing. She had her hair tied in a long ponytail and it fell down her back. She reached the large lake, which was situated at the western part of the grounds. She gave a soft sigh and sat a few feet from the edge of the lake. Now she could think. Being inside suffocated her thoughts, outside they were free.

“Sirius, could you go and wake up May? Tell her breakfast is ready.” James sat at the table as Lookie laid out the large breakfast.

“Sure.” Sirius nodded, taking a piece of toast and eating it along the way to May's bedroom. He found her door wide open. “Baby?” Walking in, thinking she was in the bathroom. “May?” Her bathroom door was open and the room empty. “May?” He turned around and left the room, rushing down the stairs. “James!”

“What?” James rushed out of the kitchen, followed by Lookie. “What's wrong?”

“She's not in her room.” Sirius spoke in a panic.

“She's got to be here somewhere.” James placed his hand on Sirius' shoulder. “No one can get into the house.” He looked down at the family house elf. “Lookie, look everywhere where she could be. Sirius and I will go into the grounds.”

“Yes Master James.” Lookie bowed and disappeared with a pop.

“How are we going to find her in the grounds? They are rather large.” Sirius asked as the two moved out of the main door.

“You go one way and I go the other way.” James smirked. “We'll cover more ground. If you find her, take her back to the house and give me a signal.” They nodded and ran off in different directions, once they were in grounds they both transformed into the animagi forms.

James was larger and could cover more ground but Sirius had the better sense of smell. He put his nose to the ground and immediately picked up May's scent. She was close by, he could tell. He ran towards the lake, where her scent of lemons and fresh air led to. He could see her, lying on the ground. He transformed back. “Oh Merlin, no.” He gasped and ran towards her, lifting her up. “May.” Thinking the absolute worse.

She jerked awake and pushed him away. “Bloody hell! Scare me much?” She rubbed the sleep out of her eyes. “Oh Merlin!” Her hand moved to her mouth. “Have I been out here all night?”

“What?” Sirius frowned and they both stood up together. “You've been here all night?”

May gave a yawn. “Yeah. Came out about half 1.” Wrapping her arm around his waist as they stood, looking out at the lake. “I must have fallen asleep after a while.” Laughing softly. “Have I caused a frenzy?”

“Just a bit.” He kissed the side of her head. “Come on.” He lead her back around the house and back inside. “Just need to signal James.” Going back outside, raising his wand in the air and released green sparks from the tip. “We thought the worst.” Speaking as he came back inside and draped his arm over her shoulder, leading her into the kitchen. “Lookie.” He called. “We've found Miss Potter.”

Lookie appeared in the kitchen with a pop. “Oh thank goodness.” She smiled broadly, her ears straightening with joy. “We was worried for Miss Potter.” She moved through the kitchen and continued with breakfast.

James rushed in and immediately ran to May, hugging her tightly. “For the love of Merlin! Don't ever do that again. Where the hell were you?”

“I went for a walk last night and fell asleep by the lake. I'm sorry, Jamie. I needed to think last night.” May rambled on and James listened carefully. “I'm sorry.”

“It's fine.” Still holding her tightly. “Just glad you're ok.” Stepping back from her. “Don't do it again.” James kissed her cheek and allowed her to get her breakfast. “You know what we're like at the moment with you. We can't afford to lose you. We love you too much.”

“Thank you.” May smiled coyly as she sat on the breakfast stool. “It won't happen again. If I can't sleep, I'll just go into Sirius' room instead.” Smirking as she sipped her hot cup of tea.

“I'd rather you go onto the roof.” James grumbled as he sat opposite his sister and Sirius say next to May.

May laughed. “Are Remus and Peter coming over for the summer?”

“Peter yes. He'll be here for the last week but Remus can't because of the full moon on the 28^th.” James sighed heavily. “Wish we could be there for him.” They smiled slightly. “So, Pads, when do you want us to come and destroy your flat?”

Sirius put his hand on May's knee and gave it a gentle squeeze. “Not yet. Got a few more things to sort out here. Plus I think it will be good for you two to stay here for a bit.” He gave them both a smile. “You both need it.” Squeezing May's knee again and the three of them continued with their breakfast.

The week went by rather quick. The three of them packed up the things in Sirius' room. He had his school trunk, which was going to stay at the manor, but there were 4 boxes filled with clothes, shoes, books and many other things that he wouldn't need for school. He was going to be coming back to the manor before school. “Right.” Sirius said as he looked around his old room, which only had furniture in the room. “Wow. Feels strange.”

May walked up behind him, wrapping her arms around him from behind. “Same here.” She chuckled and kissed his shoulder blade. “Not going to be the same without you down the hall.” Sighing heavily. “Doesn't seem right.”

“I know.” Sirius chuckled, resting his hands on her hands. “Come on.” Tapping her hands. “Let's go.” May let go to allow Sirius to turn around and wrap his arms around her. “Glad you're coming.”

“Me too.” She smiled and kissed him gently. “I need this distraction.” Pulling away from him. “Come on. We've got to catch the Knight Bus. You have too many things to floo.”

“There is something called the shrinking charm.” Sirius kissed the tip of her nose. “I'm rather good at charms.”

“I've noticed. You charmed me.” She giggled.

“Bad joke.” James spoke from behind them. “Boxes all shrunk and in May's bag.” May rolled her eyes as James handed her bag. She promptly looked in her handbag and there were four small boxes and three small bags. “See. Told you.” James smirked as she closed her bag. “Come on. Let's go.” Walking away from Sirius' room.

May started to follow but Sirius stayed where he was. “Sirius?” She asked him but he stood still looking into his old room. “You coming?”

“I'll be five minutes.” He smiled at her and walked into his room. May left him to go through his memories. Sirius walked into the middle of the room, which was strangely tidy and eerily empty. There were a lot of memories in the house and he didn't want to leave them behind. But moving into his own place was part of growing up. He moved to the window and looked out into the garden, smiling slightly as he remembered the years playing quidditch with James and May every summer. He walked away from the window silently and out of the room but not without looking inside one last time and closing the door. “Ready.” He said as he joined James and May by the dining room fireplace.

May smiled softly at him. “Okay.” Reaching out to the pot of floo powder to take it off the mantle piece. “We going straight to yours?” She held out the pot to him.

Sirius shook his head. “Nah. Let's go straight to the Leaky Cauldron and have some dinner.”

“Okay. You're buying.” James joked.

Sirius took a handful of powder. “Diagon Alley!” He shouted and disappeared into the green flames. Soon the three of them were in Diagon Alley, after a small dinner, making their way to Sirius' apartment, which was situated a little away from the shops but it wasn't a far walk from the Leaky Cauldron. Sirius unlocked and opened the door. “Welcome.” Walking down the narrow hallway and into the sitting room. “It's not much.”

“It's cool.” James grinned. “Good to have your own place.” He wriggled his eyebrows. “Party.”

“Not yet.” May spoke sternly. “Need to decorate.” She moved towards the sofa. “Possible new furniture.” She laughed. “And to unpack.” Opening her handbag and taking out the four boxes, putting them on the floor as Sirius and James enlarged them. “Our things can be last.” Putting her bag on a chair. “When do you want to start painting?”

“We can go and get the paint tomorrow to start tomorrow.” Sirius grinned as he wrapped his arm around May's shoulder. “Leave the unpacking until the decorating is completely done.” Kissing the top of May's head. “Right now. I just want to spend the evening with my best friend and my girlfriend.”

May chuckled and wrapped her arm behind Sirius' back. “Sounds like a good idea.” For the evening the three of them shared a bottle of firewhisky and talked about the boys' upcoming last year at Hogwarts. Something the three of them were dreading but the boys were looking forward to going out into the real world.
