“What are you doing in here, only…”

“True Potters can get in.” Isabella said. James nodded before his eyes opened wide.

“James, I am Morgan.”

James looked at her, almost in disbelief. She switched her gaze back to the animals on the bed.

“I was the phoenix, and you…you were the stag.” She said, sitting on the bed, and looked at the animals. James walked over, and stared down at the animals. Before lifting his head and looking at her.

“Who told you?”

“Told me what?” Isabella asked, she really wished Sirius was here. She looked up and meet James glance.

“About Morgan, No one knew, it’s just my family, and the marauders.” He said, Isabella sighed.

“At first it was one dream, and then it became many dreams, so I talked to Sirius and Dumbledore, even Lily and Remus then your mum. I was going to wait to talk to you, but I guess I am now.” James looked at her.

“But…how? She disappeared no one could find her.” He said.

“Me…James…no one could find me and also it was because the person who took me…they were smart about it. He…was or well is a death eater.” She said, James made a mad expression not at her, but at who ever she was talking about.

“Who was it Morgan?” He said, Isabella looked at him surprised.

“Rudolph Lestrange.” She said. James looked at her, before grabbing her into a hug.

“Morgan huh?” He asked.

“Yes of course.” She responded, returning the hug. James held her there for a minute, before pulling away and looking into her eyes.

“I knew there was a reason Sirius liked you so much.”

“What do you mean?” Isabella asked almost confused.

“Sirius has only fallen’ head over heels for one girl and that was Morgan, and every time he’d see you he’d smile or forget what he was saying.” James said, Isabella blushed, and Sirius knew he had always known. Isabella looked at James, meeting his eyes, and then gazing at her feet.

“Sirius really likes me…” She said, James nodded and held her close again.

“Don’t worry he’d never do anything to you.” James said, Isabella smiled, before feeling someone watching. She stepped back from the hug and saw Sirius standing in the door way. She smiled at him, Sirius looked at James.

“Morgan?” He asked, Isabella nodded along with James, who had an arm draped over her shoulders. Isabella looked at James, then back at Sirius.

“Now boys what are we going to do today?” Isabella asked, Sirius laughed before joining them in her room. Isabella looked at him.

“Well, I think we should play Quidditch.” Sirius said.

“It’s raining.” Isabella said, crossing her arms.

“So?” He said, Isabella glared at him.

“How about a movie?” She asked, the boys looked at each other before nodding. Isabella smiled victoriously.

“We shall watch…Sleepy Hallow!” She cried, running out of the room to find the movie, Sirius and James looked at each other.

“So that’s why you were talking to her all the time.” He said.

“Yeah, she had dreams and she just reminded me so of her, we found out she was soon after.” Sirius said as they walked down after Isabella. James looked at him.

“And you didn’t tell me?”

“I just wanted to be sure…”

“Well we know now.” He said smiling, Sirius smiled back before giving his friend a pat on the back.

“I still can’t believe it.” He said, as they approached Isabella, who was throwing videos around looking for the movie. James laughed, and Sirius rolled his eyes, but it was cute watching her. When she found it she held it over her head.

“I got it!” She yelled, the boys laughed and she glared at them.

“We watch.” She said, as she set the movie up and settling on the couch in betweens Sirius and James. Sirius put and arm around her, and she snuggled in.

“You did good.” He whispered before kissing her forehead, she smiled and looked at James who was watching them. She moved her head onto his shoulder, while Sirius had an arm around her waist. A sudden feeling of safety and protection came over her; with them she was always safe.

--An Hour Later--

Morgan lay asleep in between both boys; Sirius was looking at her, before sighing and moving to lie comfortably. James ran his hand through her hair, looking at her with wondering eyes, he loved having her back, he kissed her forehead, before falling asleep himself, not caring that he was sitting up and was probably going to be in pain in the morning.

--Morning—

James woke up, yawning, he looked to see that Morgan had moved off his shoulder but was still sleeping next to him. He smiled, before standing up, Sirius wasn’t awake either, he shrugged and walked out of the room, his mum was sitting at the kitchen table, and she smiled up at him.

“Nice to have her back isn’t it?” She asked James nodded wordlessly, before taking a piece of bacon off the plate and placing it in his mouth. His mum gave him a disapproving look, he smiled and swallowed.

“I think I’m going to take a shower…” He said, looking towards the door, his mum nodded and he walked out and up the stairs to the shower near his room. Mrs. Potter shook her head, before returning to read the newspaper in front of her.

Meanwhile in the family room…Sirius woke up yawning, he could tell James wasn’t there anymore, he turned to see Morgan still sleeping. He let his fingers intertwine themselves with her hair. She didn’t move or flinch, just stayed there content. Sirius smiled and looked at her, his eyes glancing up and down her sleeping form.

“I love you Morgan.” He whispered quietly before standing up, Morgan now moved a bit, or did what looked to be stretch. Sirius smirked to himself, and watched Morgan opened her eyes and looked at him, almost confused.

“Morning love.” Sirius said she smiled soon after, sitting up and grabbing the back of her neck.

“Sore?”

“Yeah…who did I sleep on?” She asked Sirius raised an eyebrow.

“Oh just answer the question.” She insisted.

“James.” Sirius said, Morgan smiled and stood up she looked at him, before giving him a hug. He was first surprised before he returned it. She held the hug without a word, while Sirius rubbed her back.

“What’s wrong Morgan?” He asked, feeling as though he had done something.

“I love you too Sirius.” She muttered softly, he looked at her blushing lightly, he didn’t know she had heard him. She took his hand in hers, and held them tightly. Sirius looked at her, his eyes wide.

“I…I didn’t…I…”

“Are you trying to say you didn’t mean it?” She asked with a raised eyebrow.

“No…I meant it.” Morgan smiled.

“You’ve never called me love before…”She said, looking at her feet, a small blush creeping onto her cheeks. Sirius couldn’t help but smile.

“I won’t do it if you don’t want me too.” He said, Morgan looked up and shook her head.

“I never said I didn’t like it.” She said a smile playing on her lips, Sirius raised an eyebrow.

“So what about it then?” He asked, taking one of her hands in his.

“I like it…a lot…it was just…unexpected.” She said, Sirius smiled, looking into her eyes.

“Then I’ll be sure to warn you next time.” Sirius said smirking. Morgan rolled her eyes, before wrinkling her nose.

“What is that awful smell?” She asked, Sirius sniffed the air, before looking at her in disbelief.

“It’s bacon…”

“It’s burned and gross.”

“Merlin there is a lot when have to teach you.” Sirius said, grabbing her hand and pulling her towards the kitchen.

“No! It smells gross!” She said, giggling slightly.

“Sirius!” Mrs. Potter yelled, Sirius stopped in his tracks and smelled at her.

“Yes?”

“What are you doing to that poor girl?”

“Making her eat bacon…”

“Help!” Morgan said, trying to wiggled out of his grip.

“Sirius I don’t think it’s fair to force her to eat it.”

“I know…”

“Then why are you doing it?” Morgan asked shaking her head in disbelief.

“It’s fun.” He said, Morgan went to smack him.

“Stop!” She shouted, before grabbing his hand and holding it as far away as she could from herself.

“Icky bacon.” She said, scrunching her nose, Sirius put on a look of disbelief.

“You’re unbelievable.” He said, she just shrugged, still trying to keep the bacon away from her, before looking around.

“Where’s James?” She asked suddenly.

“He went to take a shower.” Mrs. Potter answered.

“Oh…” Morgan said, before looking up at Sirius who was now eating the bit of bacon.

“And you call me unbelievable.” She said giggling.

“You don’t eat bacon…”Sirius said.

“So?”

“That’s unethical.” He said Morgan rolled her eyes.

“It’s icky…that’s all I’m going to say.” She said, looking him straight in the eyes.

“We’ll teach you to love it.”

“Ha! I doubt that babe, but you can try if you want.” She said, noticing Sirius blush almost. She stood up, and stretched one arm, because the other still happened to be busy with that piece of bacon.


“I think I’m going to go shower too.” She said.

“Ok dear.” Mrs. Potter said. Sirius was looking at her funny, and she raised an eyebrow.

“What?” She asked.

“Nothing…”Sirius said, Morgan gave him a weird look before turning and walking out of the room. Quietly to herself she was muttering something about Sirius being a git. She felt herself bump into someone, she looked up to meet James’ gaze.

“Hey James.” She said smiling, he smiled back and hugged her.

“Hey Morgan…where are you…”

“Shower…away from bacon possessed Sirius.” She said, James began laughing and she sent him a look.

“It’s not funny.” She said, crossing her arms, James shrugged, and patted her back, before walking towards the kitchen. Morgan sighed watching him go. ‘This is going to be a long summer.’ She thought, before heading upstairs to shower.
