"Are you sure you want to practice on me?" James asks.
Sirius nods, determined to get his winning speech to Kate right. James clears his throat and sits down on the edge of his bed. Remus puts his book down to watch the scene unfold and Pete sits eagerly waiting for the performance.
"Kate! Can I speak to you?" Sirius asks to James.
James stands up and crosses his arms, "And why would I want to speak to a no good lying small dick cheat like you?!"
Remus and Pete start to roll around their beds, laughing. Sirius snarls at his best mate and rolls his eyes. Pete face plants the floor with a thud, unable to stop laughing at James' comment.
"Obviously, she wouldn't say that!" He stresses, rolling his eyes, "I can whip it out for you all if you want.Take it seriously, Prongs."
"Fine."
"Kate! Can I speak to you?" Sirius asks James again.
James rolls his eyes, placing his hands on his hips, "And why would I allow that? Hmm? Oh wait! Let me get a prop!!!"
"What?" Sirius frowns, watching as his friend grabs his pillow off his bed and shoves it up his pyjama top. James smiles proudly, Remus and Pete besides themselves with laughter.
He fake rubs his pillow bump and raises his eyebrows, "What do you want?"
"To apologise for everything." Sirius says, closing his eyes to remember his lines, "I should never have kissed Mary. I should have been there for you the moment I realised the baby was mine. I'm sorry, Kate."
James pretends to wipe away a tear and sniffles, "Shes going to have to forgive you. That was so emotional." He responds sarcastically.
"Piss off." Sirius laughs rolling his eyes, "There's other stuff I want to say to her, I just can't repeat it to you."
"Why not?" Pete asks, climbing back into his bed.
"Because you'd all roast the fuck out of me and I'd never hear the end of it."
Sirius spent the next few days rehearsing his speech in mirrors, whilst trying to catch a moment alone with Kate. He stayed in the common room, ensuring he's the first one there in the morning and the last one at night. He doesn't understand how she keeps slipping past him but he's determined to talk to her one way or another.
Remus had reported back to his fellow marauders that same evening after his chat with her in the library, repeating everything that came out of Kates mouth. Sirius had to prove himself to her, as a responsible parent and as someone who genuinely did love her.
He had started to allow himself the thought of winning Kate back, getting hopeful at the idea of being a family with her. Having a second chance at the family thing, his way. He would be nothing like his parents. He'd spend the rest of his life protecting them both.
Far too often, his innocent thoughts of the future would turn into his usual horny and frustrated thoughts. He couldn't help but fantasise about screwing her. He hadn't ever stopped really and found on multiple occasions he was imagining her when balls deep in another girl. But now he had vowed to just use his left hand to relieve himself, another way to prove to Kate he was maturing.
Kate was his addiction. His constant high. Like all addicts, he went through withdrawal without her next to him. He was addicted to Kate, every thought and feeling in his mind was about her. His brain itched for a daily glance of her, and it frustrated him to no end if for some reason she wasn't in class or the Great Hall.
Finally, after 8 days of hogging the common room waiting for her- he finally caught her. It was 5:02 am when she emerged downstairs in her school uniform. Her shirt tightly fitting around her bump, she looked surprised to see Sirius, despite his best efforts to capture her alone all this time.
