𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗽𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝟱𝟳 || To Celebrate

Emery grinned, unfolding the shirt, reading the writing on it. 

She gasped.

World's Greatest Big Sister.

Her shock had barely registered, and she looked at her parents, her eyes shifting between them.

"Are you-"

Her father confirmed it for her. "You'll soon have a baby brother, darling."

That was all it took for Emery to suddenly burst out into tears of joy, as she hugged both of her parents again.

"I'm- I'm going to be a... sister?" she whispered.

Her mother placed a hand on her belly, smiling at Emery and nodding.

"This is.. Wow."

She hugged the shirt close to her chest. "I'm going to wear this right after," she said, laughing. "So everyone can know."

Artemis pulled his wife closer by the waist. "Your mother and I have an appointment with the doctor right now, alright, love?"

Emery nodded. 

"We'll see you soon."

Emery bid them farewell, then let out a happy squeal.

She was going to be a big sister!

The party in the Ravenclaw room was wild that night. It seemed as if students from all houses had gathered to celebrate, not at all seeming disappointed about Ravenclaw's win.

Emery was wearing her new shirt, yet nobody had recognized what it said; they were all too busy partying to care about the words on her shirt.

Feeling in the mood to party, she was dancing to the music, simultaneously drinking butterbeer and laughing with Cecilia, who for once, was partying as well.

An hour after curfew, Emery, having enough of the noise, slipped out of the common room, heading to the astronomy tower to get some peace and quiet.

As soon as she reached the top, the cool air hit her face, and she suddenly felt wide awake. 

She sat on the floor, letting her feet dangle off the tower. She was smiling to herself, just watching the beauty of the scenery below her. The stars twinkled above her, and she looked back at them, awestruck by the beauty they displayed.

She was so busy in her own little moment, she didn't see him sit near her.

Sirius Black.

He was smoking a cigarette, his black leather jacket draped on his arm.

He wanted to stay away from Emery, yet he found himself drawn even more to the blonde.

She was his drug, and he was the addict. She was forbidden, but he wanted her.

He loved her.

Emery stole a glance to her side, meeting Sirius' eyes then looking down, blushing. "Sirius," she whispered, resting her head on his shoulder.

It was at this point that she wanted to confess her feelings to him, to tell him she loved him. But he didn't love her the same way, he made it clear after the match.

So she kept quiet and just enjoyed the silence between them, thinking in her heart, just wishing, that perhaps he'd feel the same.

If not today, then maybe someday.

Sirius placed his arm around her shoulder. 

"So," he began, smiling. "Big sister, huh?"

Emery nodded. "It's a boy," she told him. "I'm having a baby brother."

Sirius chuckled. "I'm happy for you. You'll be a great sister. I know it."

"I hope so," Emery wished with a sigh.

Sirius pulled her closer to him, enjoying every moment they were touching. Emery's head rested on his shoulder, and Sirius wished it would be like this all the time.

They were looking at the stars.

Sirius suddenly caught a movement in the sky. Nudging Emery, he pointed above, making her follow his finger.

"Shooting star," he pointed. "Make a wish."

And at that moment, Emery wished for Sirius, knowing that if her wish came true, she'd be the happiest girl in the world.

Little did she know, Sirius wished for her too.
