Sorry for the delay! Here is the new Chapter. Enjoy:)

"So what happened with you and Remus?" Celia asked Marlene excitedly when they got back to their common room. After all that went down that night she needed to hear something juicy to lighten her mood. Birthday gossip if you will.

Marlene got a huge smile on her face. "I did it with him!" she squealed excitedly. Both Celia and Marlene also squealed excitedly.

"How did it happen? Tell me everything."

"Wait a minute he was pretty drunk, did you take advantage of him?" Celia asked playfully.

Marlene glared playfully back. "No, he took a sobering potion he had in his pocket Celia."

"Anyway he took me to the prefects bath and we both knew it was going to happen but he was quite the gentleman and didn't rush me." Marlene gushed.

"Ugh it was just so romantic. There were candles everywhere, and then we started kissing again, and we were both still covered in food, that's why he took us to the bath."

"If he bathed with you Marlene McKinnon I am going to die." Lily told her dramatically.

"Well we kind of bathed each other." She admitted embarrassed.

"That's so sensual, this is sounding way better than my 1st time." Celia admitted.

"It was" Marlene replied, knowing the story Celia's lost virginity.

"Go on, Go on" Lily encouraged.

"Anyway we were washing each other which kind of includes a lot of touching. And it felt good, like really good. And then he asked me if I was sure and I said yes, and he put it in, and then it hurt."

"I told you to practice on yourself, and then it wouldn't hurt so much." Celia scolded her.

"I tried! But I couldn't force myself to hurt myself." Marlene defended herself "So Remus kind of freaked out and then apologized and then he wanted to stop, and started rambling about the werewolf thing and how he wasn't good enough for me."

"But you both looked very happy when you got to the hospital wing?" Lily said confused.

"Well I told him to shut up, I kissed him, and kind of shoved myself back on him. It didn't hurt as bad the second time, and he moaned in the sexiest way ever, so I wouldn't have stopped him even if it had."

"So you finished?" Celia asked.

"Celiaaaa." Marlene whined not wanting to give her friends all the gory details.

"Come on Marlene you know our deal, first times in detail." Lily reminded her pointedly.

They had made that pact in 3rd year, when Snape had kissed Lily. Lily was the 1st one to be kissed, so Celia found it amusing that she was the last one with her v card intact. Lily blamed Potter for that, but Celia had the suspicion that Potter would be the man for the job in the end.

"Fine." Marlene conceded. "Well I didn't finish with him in me, it felt good but I didn't come. He did, why didn't you tell me that jizz was so gross?" She demanded of Celia who merely shrugged in innocence.

"But after he was done, he was panting and all sweaty and he had this wild look in his eye. He started just kissing me and touching me everywhere and that's when it happened." She said with a satisfied smile.

"Then we walked back to the common room to find it in shambles and all our friends in the hospital wing."

"Well, I must say that even with the night ending with the hospital wing. Your 1st time beats mine by miles." Celia joked "I'm glad too. I wouldn't wish that on even Mary McDonald."

Fabian was Celia's first and although she was quite young, he hadn't realized he was she was a virgin and she was too embarrassed to say anything. He had been complaining for months that she wouldn't sleep with him so finally she agreed. That was the first time she had been to the room of requirement.

It was all very awkward; she had never seen a penis before, she had touched it but never seen it, and she thought that was the thing that most shocked her. She couldn't stop staring at it and had to suppress her giggles.

Then it all got serious very quickly and Celia thought she would faint from anxiety. Fabian was never one for foreplay so she wasn't wet and when he entered her it just hurt. She was just 15, rather petite and Fabian was fairly well endowed, but she suffered through it trying not to cry.

Fabian noticed the blood after it was over and was extremely apologetic and helpful. He hadn't known so she really couldn't blame him after all. Still she couldn't help but be a little jealous that Marlene's first sexual experience was practically something out of a smutty romance novel.

"I can't believe this actually happened. I liked him for so long, but I never thought we'd really get together." Marlene admitted dreamily. Lily and Celia just looked at each other and smiled happily.

The rest of the term was spent studying like mad for exams, avoiding Slytherins where possible and duking it out with Marlene for the room of requirement. Celia could not believe that her 6th year was almost over. It had certainly been an eventful year filled with surprises.

She woke early the morning all the students would be going home. The sun was just barely coming up and her roommates were still sound asleep. Celia quietly slipped on her flip flops and left the dorm. She was not a morning person, but something about the quiet stillness of that particular morning made her want to take advantage of the serene Scottish scenery. Maybe Hagrid would be up, She hadn't talked with him in a while.

Celia snuck out of the castle and across the Quiddtich Pitch all the way to the edge of the forbidden forest. The wet morning grass was clinging to her feet and the foggy air was as peaceful as she had ever felt it. Out of the corner of her eye there was a golden flash, she turned quickly to see 3 baby unicorns racing through the trees. Her breath caught at the sight. Although her wand's core was a unicorn hair and she knew they lived in the Dark Forest she had never actually seen one in person. It was the most beautiful thing she had ever laid eyes on. They continued to chase each other for a while before realizing she was watching them, and running back into the forest.

It had started getting warm so Celia began to walk back to the castle to finish packing. She made it to the entrance of the castle just as the sun became full in the sky. Just as she reached for the huge old entrance door someone pushed it open with such a force it knocked her straight on her arse.

"Sorr… Oh Celia it's you." Sirius started to apologize before realizing it was her and then laughed at the sight of her splayed out on the cobblestone.

"You're lovely Sirius, truly." She told him sarcastically and raising her arms so he could help her up. Thank goodness it was just Sirius, she would have been rather embarrassed if someone else had knocked her over.

"What are you doing out here so early anyway. I've never known you to wake up before 11 if you didn't have to." He pointed out. It was true, in her opinion there were few things worse than being forced to awaken before noon, it just wasn't natural.

"I just needed some quiet time to myself before I get back to Dublin." She shrugged.

Soon enough she would be back to the bustling city and back to her busy life on Talbot Street. Her mother had taken two weeks vacation from work to spend time with her. While she loved her ma, spending 2 weeks with a parent was never a 17 year olds idea of fun. Her Ma had planned all sorts of activities and adventures for them, so Celia's life was going to hectic at least until the Auror office got Catharine Kennedy back.

"You shouldn't be walking alone Celia." Sirius scolded her. "What if someone other than me found you?"

She hadn't thought of that. There had been quite a few ambushes on unsuspecting students by Lestrange and his gang. Sirius was right, they had all agreed to travel in pairs.

"I forgot... But wait, you're out here by yourself as well." She scolded him in return. He gave her a sly smile.

"So I am." He shrugged. "I was going to go for a run around the quidditch pitch before it got too hot."

"Well, I'll go with you. I won't be running mind you, but I'll watch. Make sure no one tries to get you." Celia smiled and pinched him on the cheek.

"How Chivalrous of you"

She sat on the bleachers watching the sun climb higher into the sky, all the while keeping her eye on Sirius. He certainly was fit; she had always known this but it seemed more obvious as he ran shirtless around the quidditch pitch. Once he was finished he ran over to collect her.

"Enjoy the view love?" He asked with a doggish smile as he put his shirt back on.

"Course." She smiled.

They walked in comfortable silence back to the castle. She honestly couldn't believe she had been worried about not having the comfortable intimacy she'd had with Fabian with Sirius. Falling for him, and just being with him was so easy. She had made it dramatic with the affair and the indecisions, but their relationship at its base was simple. They were both mad for each other.

"Can I come see you over the Holidays?" He asked as they walked into the great hall for breakfast. There were quite a few students awake now and the Castle seemed to be in a flurry of activity.

"Sure. I'm with my Ma for the first 2 weeks but after that, come by any time." She answered.

"Are you trying to keep me away from your parents.?" He chided her.

And she sort of was. Both her parents had really liked Fabian; he looked like a proper English wizard. Fabian was polite and rather low key, Her ma had been right he was excellent husband material. Sirius on the other hand had a reputation; The Black's were a well -known family, and not for the best of things either.

Celia had already written to her parents explaining how Sirius had disowned his family for their pure blood elitist bullshit. But as expected her parents still worried. Then of course there was the part where they would actually have to meet him. Sirius looked like trouble and oozed sex from his very pores, that was what attracted her after all, but she doubted Ma and dad would like that very much. Sirius was far from the reserved and polite Fabian. He was loud and crass and mischievous and…

Oh sweet merlin; he was just like her father.

Celia cringed at the thought. She had always heard women ended up with men like their fathers but she hadn't noticed the comparison until now. Her dad was the typical loud, funny, hotheaded Irishman. Sirius was the same minus the Irish.

This could either be great or a disaster, Sirius and her parents would either get along swimmingly or hate each other with the passion of a thousand fiery suns. Only time would tell.

"Of course not Sirius, Ma just wants to spend time with me before she has to go back to work. You can meet them anytime you want. But Best behavior please?" She answered his question.

" Ye of little faith" He scoffed "As if I ever cause any trouble."

By noon, Celia and Lily were in a frenzy; stuffing their carry on bags with last minute items found under the bed or in the back of the drawers. Their trunks had already been packed and taken down to Hogsmeade station by the house elves.

"Next year we should pack at least 2 days before we have to leave." Lily said, frazzled with her dark red hair clinging to the sweat on her forehead.

"You say that every year Lils." Marlene replied calmly while lying on her bed eating the rest of her licorice wands. Lily glared at her and threw an old balled up sock at her head. Marlene was always finished before Lily and Celia.

"Hey! I don't need this abuse." Marlene scoffed and threw the sock back at Lily "I tell you both every year to pack up early, but neither of you ever listen."

She was right, this end of term rush happened to them every year. But Celia hated packing, and then if she did pack she would always end up needing that item and then have to unpack everything.

"I can't help it if I use my items daily. Anyways. I think I've got everything now." Celia smiled in relief as she shoved the last item, a purple hairbrush into her bag. The carry on looked as though it would burst at the seams but she had got everything in.

They all surveyed the room one last time before heading down towards the carriages.

" I can't believe 6th year is over already." Celia said shaking her head once they were at Hogmeade station and boarding the train.

What an efing crazy year it had been.
