Betrayal and babies.

Sirius black always loved Halloween. The costumes, the candy, the movies, the music, the vibe. Jackolatern carving, trick or treating, the food. Everything about the holiday is so amazing, he find it near impossible for any one to ever say ‘I hate Halloween’. This year, however, him and his boyfriend since they were 16, are going over to James and Lilys place, and to see little Harry. He was sent a picture of Harry in his little pumpkin costume through the mail last week. And if anyone asked Sirius would pull it out of his wallet and show it off to all those who were around him. Sirius grabs Remus hand, grabs he’s fly motorcycles keys, and house keys, he opens the door to see his all time favorite Professor.
“Minnie!” Exclaims the shorter boy, black hair past his shoulders tied up in a half ponytail. “To what do we owe the pleasure? We’re just on our way to see Lily James and Harry. Would you like to join us?” Sirius smiles brightly as ever. His favorite holiday, spent with his favorite people. Perfect in his book. Except for one person..who has missed out these past 3 years.. but Sirius tries not to dwell on that on such happy moments. However, when he looks at Mcgonagalls face, and I mean truly looks, he has the earth sinking got feeling. The solem expression turned to guilt after Sirius spoke. It truly scared him. He has never seen this face on her before, and it made him want to cry right the and there. “I’m..I’m afraid I will not be joining you two tonight. And I fear, James and Lily will never be joining you two..agian.” The realization of her word hit him like a 10 ton truck. Their dead. Why had he been so eager to switch? It was all Peter’s fault. He’s the reason his best friend his dead. Sirius feels tears streaming down his checks and into his scruff on his chin. He feels Remus let go of his hand. The only thing grounding Sirius, just let him go. Because he doesn’t know. Ofcourse he doesn’t. The last Remus heard, the secert keeper is Sirius. So if they die, it is Sirius fault. Sirius ignores this and looks up from the floor which he doesn’t really remember looking down “-I’m so sorry to inform you two…but, James potter and Lily potter have died. Their son Harry Potter survived voldemorts killing curse, and must now stay with you two. If you’ll accept him ofcourse.” The news cam crashing down on Sirius harder then he thought. It was Halloween night. Him and Remus were just about to hop onto his motorbike and go see the potters when their previous professor appeared at their doorstep.
If he has gotten ready faster, left sooner..maybe just maybe they would still be Alive.the worst part of it all is that Remus thought it was Sirius fault. But Sirius knew better. He would have died rather betray his best friend. It was Peter. The stupid rat. But he no longer has time to dwell on the actions of a pudgy rat. He looks down at the moving bundle in professor McGonagolls arms. He looks over at Remus who has a few stray tear but looks so conflicted in the door step. Sirius turns his attention back to Minerva. He cheeks full of tears and his eyes begging to sting.
“We accept.”
