A/N Please review... I don't want to sound naggy but I want to know what y'all think this is my first fic!

Sirius opened his eyes slowly, bright light filled his room.Katie was right after all. He did need more sleep. As he got out of bed he saw the house elf, Kreacher, running across the hallway with a pair of trousers. After fighting with him, he got them back and hid them. Damn thing, he thought. As he walked backto his room, he saw that Katie and Oliver's door was cracked. Curiosity got the best of him, and he tried to peek in as quietly as possible. The two of them were fast asleep, in each other's arms. At least they have clothes on, he sighed with relief.

A week before Katie had moved in, she had met with Sirius to talk to him about Oliver. She explained to him that Oliver was not aware of her being a Black or even that her hair was actually brown. She explained that she had gone through her life as Katie Bell, not Katie Black, and that the Ministy did this to keep Katie and the Bells from a life of waryness and touble. Sirius understood, of course, but seemed disapointed. She couldn't tell her friends who her father was, that was bad enough. But her boyfriend? Sirius wished a million things had been different in the situation.

The next week, after Dumbledore and Katie explained to Oliver of Sirius' innocence, the two moved in. She toldOliver that she went a week before to prepare a room for them. Nothing else. With time, she told herself. I'll explain everything to Oliver with time.

They made their way up the stairs, where Katie had prepared a room for the two of them. Sirius had agreed not to go in their until Katie and Oliver were moved in, and for good reason. As soon as he saw that there was only one bed, he asked, "and where is Oliver going to sleep?"

"Well," he replied. "I usually start on the right side of the bed. Where I end up at the end of the night is a whole 'nother story." Sirius heard Katie on the other side of the room choking on some water she had been drinking.

"So you two, share the same room and bed," Sirus said looking over at a freaked out Katie. "are you two married."

Shit, thought Katie.

"No," an oblivious Oliver replied, confused at why Sirius was using the tone his father would give him after he was caught sneaking out but Oliver didn't know he'd been caught. (Especially last summer when he sneaked out to see Katie and didn't come back until the following morning.)

"Are you even engaged?" Sirius continued.

"No."

"I see," he said. Sirius shot the look that usually comes with the tone he was using at Katie before walking out of the room.

"What was that all about?"

Katie shrugged, "No idea," she lied.

It wasn't that Sirius didn't like Oliver, he seemed like a good chap. He also loved Katie and was good to he,whichshould have beenenough. To Sirius though, this boy was a stranger. Katie explained thatthey had grown up together, and also played quidditch together. It was another part of his own daughter's life he could not get back. It had been stolen from him. Time, he thought,is more precious than gold.

As he stood in the doorway, he saw Katie begin to stir. He quickly ran downstairs and occupied himself with anything he could find. Ten minutes later, Katie walked down the stairs, smiling at Sirius.

"You took my advice," she said.

"Yes, and it did wonders, you were right as always."

Oliver entered the room, smiled at Sirius and snaked his arms around Katie's waist, kissing the top of her head. Before yet another awkward moment could commence, Katie's owl, Yuri, flew in and dropped a letter from the Ministry on the table. Katie picked up and read it outloud.

Dear Miss Katie Bell,

In light of recent events at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, we would like you and fellow Auror Nymphadora Tonks, to go and keep watch over the students there. This will be one of yourlast tests in becoming an Auror. Please come to the Auror headquarters at 11:30 sharp.

Sincerly,

Aki Oro

Head Auror

Katie looked up from the letter. What had happened at Hogwarts? She knew that that dangerous Tri-Wizard Tournament had been going on, and mysteriously Harry had been entered. He was far more than legal wizarding age, how could he have been entered? She had read of the first tasks and had heard about them from Fred, George, Alica and Angie, but they mostly only wrote to hear about her and Oliver. Most of the letters would go, Oh and Harry was almost blown to bits by the dragon, has Oliver proposed yet? It was like talking to a wall sometimes.

The owl from the Daily Prophet swooped in and the paper landed in the porridge Oliver had been eating. He handed it to Katie, who took one look at it and got worried, BARTY CROUCH KILLED AT HOGWARTS. Well that put a lot of wonder to rest.

Katie looked at the clock and saw it was 10:40.

"I've got to get ready!" she exclaimed already half way up the stairs.

Half an hour later, Katie was out the door on her way to the Ministry with Oliver. His practice was cancelled because to of the players hexed eachother after they found out they'd been dating the same girl. Oliver in a way was relieved, he knew that they were gonna take Katie away from him to go to Hogwarts and be put in all sorts of danger. He hated that about her job. It was so dangerous. With all the disappearences and deaths, Oliver didn't want to get a letter from the Ministry saying how Katie had been tortured and slowly killed. This made him shudder. He put his hand in his jacket pocket and felt that box in it. Oliver had been waiting for the right moment to ask her but he didn't know when. He wanted it to be perfect, he just didn't know how.

As they made there way to the phone booth, Katie grabbed his hand and kissed him, "I love you," she said.

"I love you, too."
