SCARED | Sirius Black

Chapter Eighteen

"I have one. It's powerful. Can be reversed of course, but in the mean time, you can make Sirius love you."

"Why do you want to hurt Solis Edwards?"

"Because now, I'm suffering. Everybody thinks I stole her boyfriend."

"Belle Hallow. Weren't you her best friend?"

"I was." Belle smirked evilly.

"Is it actually true? She's pregnant with his child?"

"Yes."

"How did you know?" Marlene asked.

"It's for me to know, McKinnon. Now, tell me, do we have a deal?"

Belle waited for the blonde's respond.

"Deal."

Solis Edwards was completely exhausted. Most of her classes weren't with Gryffindor's today, meaning no help from her friends. The additional talk with Marlene only exhausted her emotionally. How dare she talk about something she doesn't know nor understand.

"Hey, love."

"Siri?"

"You look exhausted. Let me carry your stuff." He took her bag and book away from her hand.

"Where are the others?"

"Prefect meetings and well Peter is probably somewhere eating who knows." He chuckled.

"I have something to tell you." Solis sighed and pulled him towards their dorm. As soon as she arrived to their common room, she laid on the sofa.

"What is it?" Sirius asked confusedly.

"The other day. Before you helped Remus. I wanted to tell you about Hallow. She's sketchy." Solis explained, "I followed her and she disappeared into thin air. Quite literally." Sirius was shocked.

"You followed her alone? If she's sketchy, that's dangerous Solis."

"I know. Thankfully Regulus took me back."

Sirius was relieved that his brother actually tries to protect Solis. Helping her away from danger.

"I think, she's a spy. From your parents." Solis said.

"Belle Hallow? She's a half-blood right?" The girl nodded, "It probably means no. There's no way my parents would ask a half-blood to do their biddings."

"You think so?" Sirius nodded.

"Oh, one more thing. I didn't really want to say this, but it's about Marlene." She sighed heavily. Trying hard not roll her eyes over the obscene blonde.

"What's with her? Did she bother you?"

"She said you love her."

Sirius furrowed her brows in disgust. "That's the biggest bullshit ever. Believe me."

"So, you didn't?"

"Never. To be completely honest with you. I- I have never been in love with anyone before." Sirius said, "I've always envied Gwen and James. They have a perfect love story."

"Me too." She smiled.

"Don't get me wrong. Those two are my absolute best friends and they deserve it, but I can't help to have a tinge of jealousy."

"I understand." Solis muttered, "I also have never been in love with anyone. But, I- I think I will, soon." She looked him in the eyes.

"You will?"

"Y-yeah."

"That's great. Cause I feel the exact same way." Sirius smiled softly. He already knew that Solis is special to him. Not just because she's the mother of his child. But simply for being her. He has been attracted to her for years and now he actually have a chance to be with her.

Solis Edwards stood up and sit on Sirius' lap. Making him smile. She played with his dark hair. He placed his head on her chest, listening to the rhythm of her heartbeat. It was steadfast. Calming. Solis placed her hand on the side of his face and gave him a kiss in the temple.

"Want to sleep?" Solis asked, she could tell that Sirius was getting droopy.

"Yeah." She stood up and pull him to her room. Immediately changing into her pajamas. The girl slithered to underneath the covers. Patting on a large space next to her. Asking Sirius to lay beside her as usual. He obliged. Solis realized that he hasn't change clothes.

"Are you not going to change?"

"I'm lazy. I want to sleep." He flung his arms lightly to her bump. Solis unbuttoned his top, "What are you doing?"

"I can't let you sleep in the school uniform. It's uncomfortable."

"Or is it because you want to see me shirtless?" He smirked tiredly.

Solis scoffed, "You're still as arrogant as ever, even when you're tired."

Sirius chuckled and removed his shirt. "Done. Now let's sleep." He cuddled to Solis. She tried to hide her smile.

"Good night Siri."

"Good night Sols."
