Chapter 31: Let's Talk, Baby

May kept quiet as she walked into the Great Hall with Hannah on one side and Lily on her other side. She could see Sirius sitting on his own in the middle half of the Gryffindor Table. May avoided looking at him as she and the girls sat down, not too far away from him.

“Forget him, May. He doesn't deserve you if he treats you like he is now.” Hannah tried to be reassuring but it was obviously not working. May was stubborn as always.

“I'm not hungry.” May stood up.

“May! You can't leave!” Lily scolded her and pulled her back down. “Just forget him!”

May's eyes filled with tears. “Lily, I can't. I don't want to be here.” She looked up at her brother, who was sitting opposite her and watching her carefully. “Jamie, please.” James just shook his head silently. Right now, he absolutely hated Sirius for hurting his sister, but he couldn't give her special treatment. She sat there in silence, wiping away her tears. Hannah tried to comfort her but it did not work. Once the sorting was over and the food appeared, May just sat in silence and ate what she could.

Everyone around her was laughing and joking but she ate in silence and did not take her eyes off her plate. The food disappeared and Dumbledore stood up. “I bring you sad news today. Not something I wish to share on your first day back. I regret to announce that a former student of ours was killed two days ago.” Gasps and whispers filled the room. “I regret to announce the sad death of Joshua Latimer. He was killed by Lord Voldemort.” Gasps filled the room louder, especially when Dumbledore said his name. May looked up at James, shock written over both their faces. She even dared to look at Sirius, who was also watching her reaction. Many people were crying, especially those from Joshua's own house. “We shall remember him fondly. Now, off to bed. First years follow your prefects.”

Lily went into authoritative mode. “First years, follow me.” James did the same. The two of them led the first years out of the Great Hall and for the small tour up to the Gryffindor tower.

“Come on, May.” Hannah looped her arm in May's. “Let's go to bed. We've got an early start tomorrow.” May nodded silently and allowed Hannah to lead her up to the Gryffindor Tower. Hannah was worried about her, especially when they reached their dormitory. May went straight to bed; she changed into her pyjamas and climbed into bed without another word. “May...” Hannah sighed and looked at Katie, who just shrugged her shoulders. The other girls just rolled their eyes and went to bed.

Sirius dragged himself out of bed the next morning. Ignored by Remus. Peter and Frank gave him joyful greetings. He had to talk to her. But he was still angry with the way she had kept the pregnancy scare a secret. Truth be told, they should have been careful. It was both their fault. To him, it was May's fault, as she was the one who usually remembered. He washed and readied himself for the first day back. As he walked into the Common Room, he saw a wave of long black hair about to leave the portrait hole. He had to talk to her. “May!” He called.

She turned around before turning back to talk to Hannah. Hannah left and May moved back inside. “Hi.” She said quietly.

“We do need to talk.” He walked over to the sofas. “Come on. Sit down. Please.” May nodded silently and walked over to the sofa, which sat in front of the fire, and sat down. “I shouldn't have shouted at you. It was stupid of me.” He watched her as he spoke. She looked straight ahead of her, at the ashes in the grate. “It was my fault too. I shouldn't have blamed you. I'm sorry.”

May gave a small smile. “I'm sorry too. I should have told you but I didn't know how.” Tears filled her eyes. “I knew you'd be angry.” She wanted to reach out and hold his hand, her hand twitched as she stopped herself from doing it. “I'm really sorry.” She stood up from the sofa and was about to move when Sirius also stood up and held her hand. “Sirius...”

“I miss you.” He whispered gently, holding her hand. “Please, baby. Forgive me. I shouldn't have said those things.”

May bit her lip. “I'm so sorry.” She squeezed his hand gently. “Maybe it was what we needed. To give us a sense of reality of our relationship.”

“What do you mean?” He rubbed his hand over the back of her hand.

“We're doing things on an impulse. Which is what made us forget the contraceptive charm.” She bit her lower lip nervously. “We should have been careful. What we have done if I really was pregnant?”

“I'd have married you. Straight away.” He stepped closer to her, his free hand cupping her cheek. “I love you, May. I should not have been such a stubborn git.” May could not help but smile. “Will you have me?”

“Yes...” She said, but when he leaned forward to kiss her, she stopped him by pressing her fingers against his lips. “We have to be extra careful. Also, occasionally we should have some time apart.” She pulled her fingers away from his lips.

Sirius nodded slowly. “I agree.” Now, he leaned forward and kissed her so softly. When they pulled away, Sirius spoke. “Come on. Let's get breakfast.”

She smiled and nodded. “Okay.” She allowed him to lead her out of the Common Room and down the main staircases to the Great Hall. They talked as they walked but May was thinking about everything he had said earlier and not so long ago. They had been careless and she silently vowed that, from now on they would have to be very careful. She smiled at him as they walked into the Great Hall.

“Took you bloody long enough!” Hannah said loudly as they sat down together. “Idiots.” She mumbled as she returned to her porridge.

“Thanks Han(!).” May said sarcastically, and poured herself a cup of tea. “Yes, we're sorted and we've both apologised. So, there.” Poking her tongue out at Hannah. “It was just a misunderstanding.” Hannah just rolled her eyes and everyone said nothing about May and Sirius' temporary split. Soon, their timetables for the year were given out. “Great(!).” She grumbled. “Double Potions, first thing. Fun(!).” The others laughed as May grumbled under her breath.

The first few weeks were soon under way and everybody was working and studying hard. When the first Hogsmeade weekend was announced, everyone was excited but also nervous, especially after what had happened at the last weekend in Hogsmeade. The teachers were insisted that the majority of them would go to protect the students. James and Lily were also going but they were going together and alone. May raised an eyebrow when Lily told her this. “Really? Are you two feeling okay? You were arguing last week.”

“I don't know.” Lily shrugged her shoulders as she sat on May's bed. “We're arguing a lot less than last year.” She chuckled as she watched May brushed her long hair. “How are you and Sirius?”

“We're good. We are going to talk properly tonight. Talk about everything.” May smiled a little. “These past couple of weeks have been an eye opener for us both. So we need to have the 'What if' conversation.” Chuckling nervously. “I'm dreading it. I don't want to think and plan that far ahead.” She laughed lightly as she placed her brush back in her trunk and pushed her hair behind her shoulders. “But, we need to do it.”

“I'm here if you need someone to talk to afterwards.” Lily smiled as she stood up from May's bed. “Come on. Let's go to breakfast.” The two girls left the sixth girls dormitory together. Hannah had already left with Katie and the other girls. The two of them walked to the Great Hall, chatting about Lily's visit to Hogsmeade with James on the weekend. “Oh shut up, May.”

May laughed loudly as they walked into the Great Hall. “I'm just messing with you.” Laughing again. “But take my advice. Behave.” She winked at Lily and sat down next to Hannah. She poured herself some tea. “Oh stop worrying Lily. It will be fine.” She tapped Lily's hand. “You've got until Saturday.” She looked up at the main doors and saw the four Marauders walking in. “Well, here comes James. You could tell him that you've changed your mind.” She smirked slightly.

“May!” Lily scolded her. “I haven't changed my mind. I'm just nervous.” She chuckled as she took a bite of her toast. James, Remus and Peter sat opposite the girls, while Sirius pushed Hannah slightly and sat next to May.

“Black!” Hannah growled at him. “A simple 'excuse me' will work next time.”

“Sorry.” He chuckled and winked at her. “It shan't happen again.” Sirius grinned widely at her as he wrapped his arm around May's waist. “Morning.” Kissing her cheek.

“Morning.” She smiled at him, kissing him on the lips. “What have you got first?”

“Potions.” He grumbled. “What about you?”

“Charms.” May grinned cheekily and kissed him swiftly. “So, if you'll excuse me, I have to get my things and abandon you.” She climbed off the bench and bent down and kissed Sirius. “See you at lunch.”

Hannah also stood up and began to follow May, but as she passed Sirius, she hit him in the back of the head. “That's for pushing me.” She caught up with May and the two of them burst out laughing.

“Never mess with your girl's best friend. You get hurt twice as much if it were your own girlfriend.” Remus chuckled.

“Shut up Moony.” Sirius laughed. “When are you going to pluck up the courage and ask Hannah out properly?”

James laughed. “Nice one, Pads.” He watched Remus, who was fidgeting in his seat. “Come on, Moony. I doubt she'll say 'no'. May says that she thinks Hannah really likes you.” Remus kept his eyes on his breakfast, not even moving or saying anything. “Come on, Moony! We all know that you've liked Hannah for a while. I just think you haven't noticed yet.”

Remus stood up and mumbled. “See you in potions.” He walked away from them without another word.

“Oops.” James bit his lower lip. “We shouldn't be so hard on him.” He drank the rest of his orange juice in one go. “Come on. Let's go.” They all stood up and followed in Remus' footsteps.

There was two hours before curfew and May sat on the stone wall in the paved courtyard. She and Sirius were going to go for a walk through the grounds for their talk. She was still in her uniform with her cloak wrapped around her shoulders. The autumn wind was blowing through the school and it was getting colder. The days were growing shorter and the nights were longer. She leant back against a pillar and looked up at the darkening sky.

“Hello, beautiful.” Sirius' voice spoke seductively in her ear. “Aren't you cold?”

“Nope.” She looked at him and smiled. She climbed off the stone wall and stood in front of him. “You ready?”

Sirius nodded. “Yeah.” He draped his arm over her shoulder and she wrapped her own around his back. He led her out into the grounds. “So?”

“So...” She said slowly. “I have no idea where to start.” May chuckled. “I will repeat myself and say that I am sorry for not telling you about the scare.”

He kissed the side of her head. “It's okay. It was a bit of a shock when I heard you. I was a little annoyed that the girls knew before me.”

May chuckled nervously. “Lily was the first person I told. I was under a lot of stress and it was when she was helping me with my potions work. So I told her. She was the one who took me to the Hospital Wing. I had to tell Hannah, she is my best friend. Plus I needed her advice about telling you.” Shrugging her shoulder a little. “I'm sorry, love.”

Sirius chuckled. “It's all right. Just next time. Which I hope there isn't a next time, but I want you tell me.”

“Of course I will. I promise.” She leant her head on his shoulder as they continued their walk. “Right, let's talk about the 'what if'.” She sighed heavily. “I was thinking if I were pregnant now, I'd probably drop out of school.”

“I'd drop out with you.”

“What? No! You want to be an auror and I can't let you drop out of school for me.” She lifted her head up and stared at him, shaking her head. “No! I love you, Sirius, but I couldn't let you drop out of school. If you carried on with school and your auror training, you'd be able to provide for us better.”

“Oh May! You are an angel but I could never do that to you.” He kissed the tip of her nose. “How about, if we ever reach that point, we'll decide then? How does that sound?”

May nodded slowly. “Fine. Stubborn git.” She teased him.

“I'm stubborn?” He raised his eyebrows at her and grabbed her around her waist, lifting her up. “Very untrue, Miss Potter.”

She squealed with laughter as he spun them around. “Sirius!” She laughed loudly. The two of them spent the next hour walking around the grounds and then the next hour, they walked back up to school but were distracted by the other person kissing the other.
