In Mercury's Shadow
response to the grangerblack100 Mercury challenge
Sirius Black woke from the cold of an empty bed. He cracked his eye open to find his wife gone and the bedside crib empty. Sirius found his wife in their backyard holding their gray-eyed, 8-month-old baby to their telescope. His wife turned to him and smiled “Hello love, I was showing our daughter the planet Mercury.” Sirius plea to return to bed froze on his lips as realization hit him. Frequent runs to the bathroom, skin glowing, mood swings restlessness. Hermione smiled “Yes darling, it was confirmed yesterday. Starr is going to be a big sister”
