Part Two
Ever After
No wonder your heart feels it's flying
Your head feels it's spinning
Each happy ending's a brand new beginning
Let yourself be enchanted, you just might break through
To ever ever after
(Ever Ever After - Carrie Underwood)August 31st, 2013Sirius woke to the smell of bacon cooking downstairs and the sound of children
running in the hallways. There was also the feel of something slightly heavy on his back
and a tickle of hair on his skin. When he cracked an eye open to turn his head and look, he
found himself staring at a tiny face, black hair, and chocolate-coloured eyes.
"Daaaaaddy.. ." the little girl said with a low growl.
"Has anyone told you lately that you sound like a troll when you use that voice?"
Sirius mumbled sleepily.
The tiny witch jumped once, her knees landing on Sirius's lower back. "Daddy, wake
up!"
"Ow, fuck!" He rolled over, pulling his daughter into his arms and off of him.
"Princess... those are Daddy's kidneys," he told her, still wincing from the pain.
"Galleon in the swear jar!" she said with a greedy grin. "Mummy says so."
Sirius growled under his breath. Fucking swear jar. "What's Daddy's swearing buying
this month?"
The almost six-year-old cuddled up beside him, toying her fingers through his hair
the way her mother still often did. "Uncle Remus is going to take me and Lily to Chocolate
Week in London! Swear jar pays for tickets."
Sirius chuckled, rubbing his forehead. "And why, my teeny, tiny kitten, doesn't
Uncle Remus pay for the bloody tickets himself?"
"Jar!" she said excitedly and then added, "because Mummy said so."
Sirius faked a pout down at his youngest child. "Sometimes I think Mummy likes
Uncle Remus more than me."
