Easter arrived and Monica and Derek still were not talking to each other…or at least it was what Izzy thought. The couple was still trying to keep their relationship a secret from their best-friend, who was feeling incredibly guilty. They vowed to reveal her the truth during the wedding reception.

Izzy, Ginny, Hermione and Monica were waiting for the bride.

"We're already fifteen minutes late" Ginny said "Charlie must be thinking that his wife-to-be ran away"

"Poor Charlie" Izzy said in a low voice.

"What's wrong with you?" Ginny asked her "You've been odd lately"

"She's feeling guilty for me and Derek not talking" Monica explained

"You and Derek are in non-speaking terms?" Hermione asked

"Yep" Izzy said "And it mine and George's fault. We made them kiss. And it was so awful that they can't even look at each other"

"It's not your fault, Izz" Monica told her

"Whatever, I'm going to the loo" Izzy said.

"I'll see if everything is okay in there" Ginny declared, mentioning the room where Valera was dressing.

Hermione stood there looking oddly at Monica, when she noticed something interesting.

"What is that in your neck?" she asked Monica

"Er…" Monica was trapped

"If you asked me I'd say that was a sucking mark, but that is just my opinion" Hermione continued.

Monica was looking nervous.

"If my theory is correct, that mark wouldn't by any chance have been made by a certain classmate of yours, who is also one of Izzy's best friends?" Hermione asked

"Fine! I confess, me and Derek are dating but we didn't tell Izzy because she tricked us into kissing. We were planning to tell her in the reception" Monica said

"Well, at least you should learn to hide these marks. Come here" Hermione took her wand and pointed it to Monica's neck, she waved it, and the mark disappeared "There, the evidence is gone"

"Thanks, Hermione" Monica said

Izzy arrived from the bathroom and a minute later, Ginny got out of the room along with Valera.

"Wow, you look great!" Monica told her aunt.

"Gather around her" Hermione instructed taking her camera from her purse "I want a picture of you all"

One hour later, Charlie Weasley and Valera Gray, now Weasley, were married.

All the guests were in the Burrow's garden, where the reception would be attended.

"We've got to tell them" Derek said. He was hiding behind the bushes along with Monica. "They'll flip"

"I know" Monica agreed "Stay here, I'll get Izzy and George. We'll do as we planned"

"'Kay"

Monica found the couple sitting by a table along with Lulu.

"Hey, guys, I need to talk to you. Do you mind if we take a walk?"

"Sure" Izzy agreed, getting up

"What's up?" George asked

"Here's the thing, I've got good news and bad news" Monica declared

"Good news first, we could use some, now" Izzy mumbled

"The good news is that I have a boyfriend"

George turned to her, looking shocked "A boyfriend? Since when?"

"Er…Thursday" Monica answered

"Thursday? But that is when the kissing fiasco occurred? When do you have time to…" Then Izzy realized who in fact her friend's boyfriend was "You sneaky bastards! You pranked us big time!"

"Yeah! You were dating! And lying about it!" George complained

"Yep, we were!" Derek stated coming from behind the bushes "Payback is a bitch!"

"What? Because we tricked you into kissing?" Izzy asked "We made you a favour"

"We know you did, that is why we only kept this game for three days. How could we miss an opportunity to prank you two like that?" Monica explained

"As much as I hate being pranked, you guys have it in you! The prankster spirit!" George declared.

"What about a truce now?" Derek suggested "From now on, we'll try to only prank other people, not each other"

"Deal!" they agreed.

"Hey, you said you also had bad news" Izzy stated

"Oh, the bed news were that you're not getting rid of the two of us that soon" Derek told her

"Pity, I was thinking of becoming best-friends with Romilda Vane, but well, if you insist that I stick with you…" Izzy told them

"Shut up!" Monica and Derek chorused.

Sirius was sitting by a table holding his youngest son. While he watched Izzy dancing with her boyfriend, the twins playing with Teddy, the little boy in his lap and his wife, who was talking to her mother, he remembered that before all of that happiness, there was a time when he was not sure of anything.

---

Around six years ago

Sirius was locked in Flitwick's office. He heard Fudge saying that the Dementors were coming to give him the kiss. Everything was lost. He'd never see his godson again, he'd never see the woman he loved again…

Suddenly, the door opened and Dumbledore came in.

"Professor, I'm innocent, you have to belie--" Sirius started

"I believe you Sirius" Dumbledore interrupted him "I already took care of things. But I needed to tell you something first"

"What do you mean by 'took care of things'?" Sirius asked

"You'll see" Dumbledore told him "What I wanted to tell you was that Miss Davis is in Toronto, Canada" the old teacher gave him a piece of parchment "The address is in this parchment, only you are able to read it, I charmed it for that purpose"

"Why are you telling me this?" Sirius inquired

"You'll see in the right time. By the way, I left you a change of clothes and a small meal in a cave right next to Hogsmeade, I believe you'll find it by yourself. Good Luck" and he left.

About five minutes later, he heard a tap in the window. His jaw dropped when he saw Harry and Hermione on top of a Hippogriff. He hurried to the window and tried to open it, but it was locked.

"Stand back!" Hermione called to him, and she took out her wand "Alohomora!" The window sprang open.

"How - how -?" he asked shocked

"Get on - there's not much time," said Harry "You've got to get out of here - the Dementors are coming. Macnair's gone to get them."

Sirius snuck out of the window and climbed into Buckbeak's back.

"OK, Buckbeak, up!" said Harry "Up to the tower - come on!"

Minutes later, Buckbeak landed with a bang on the West tower.

"Sirius, you'd better go, quick," Harry declared "They'll reach Flitwick's office any moment, they'll find out you've gone."

"What happened to the other boy? Ron?" said Sirius urgently.

"He's going to be OK - he's still out of it, but Madam Pomfrey says she'll be able to make him better. Quick - go!"

Sirius was still staring down at Harry.

"How can I ever thank -"

"GO!" Harry and Hermione shouted together.

Sirius wheeled Buckbeak around, facing the open sky.

"We'll see each other again," he said. "You are - truly your father's son, Harry ...". With that, Sirius took of in the cave's direction.

In there, Sirius tried to make himself more presentable. He took a dive in the interior lake, in order to wash himself, he ate the meal and dressed the clothes left by Dumbledore. An hour later, he was leaving. Canada was his destiny, Mia was destiny. Inside, he was fighting. One part of him wished she had move on, found someone else that made her happy. But at the same time, another part wished she had kept her promise, that she had waited for him.

---

After several days travelling, Sirius was staying in front of Mia's house, hiding behind a tree.

He was unable to move. Shall I go there? he asked himself Maybe I should leave her alone, let her live her life. Maybe she moved on.

He still was thinking about that, when he saw the door's house opening. A tall brown haired woman got out of the house, carrying a bag to put in the garbage can. It was Mia, his Mia. The princess had became a queen, a beautiful queen. She returned to the house and closed the door behind her.

The decision was made. He was going to face her. He hurried to the door and knocked on it. It was done. He was seconds away of seeing the love of his life again.

---

Sirius was sitting in Mia's sofa. Izzy was asleep with her head in his lap. That was his daughter. Now he could laugh at himself. Just ten hours before, he didn't know of her existence, at that moment, he couldn't imagine life without her.

"Hey" Mia said from the doorway. She got closer to them "Looks like this one has called it a night" she stated when she saw Izzy sleeping.

"It was a long day" he stated "For any of us"

"We should take her to bed" Mia suggested

"I'll carry her" he said, getting up slowly, so he wouldn't wake his daughter up and taking her in his arms.

In her bedroom, Mia helped him put her in bed, and kissed Izzy goodnight.

"So, what do you think of her?" Mia asked him

"She's amazing" Sirius said "Our little girl"

"Indeed she is" she agreed, hugging him "You need to rest"

"Everything I need is you" he declared, kissing her softly.

"That is not a problem, you already have me" Mia told him. They resumed kissing and Mia wrapped her legs around his waist. The kissing became a fierce snog "You sure you have stamina for that?" Mia asked, realizing what they would probably end up doing.

"I have thirteen years of accumulated stamina"

"Me too" Mia told him

"How did you hold up all these years without any sex?" Sirius asked her.

"I used to exercise a lot, to canalize my energy, and I had a kid who kept me busy most of the time. When she was not home, I'd work until I could barely walk" Mia told him "Let's see if you still are as good as I remember"

"I love you" Sirius declared

"I love you more" Mia said

"Them prove it!" he defied her

"With pleasure"

Present time:

"Sirius?" someone was asking "Sirius!"

Sirius came back to the world. His wife was smiling at him.

"Daydreaming?" Mia asked

"More like taking a walk I memory lane"

"Want to dance?" Mia asked

"Why not?" he agreed and joined her in the dance floor "You think they'll end up together?" he asked, mentioning Izzy and George.

"They already are together" Mia told him.

"I mean as in getting married" Sirius explained

"Probably, give it a few years" she said.

"When I met Izzy, I planned to curse every boy that tried to date her" he stated

"Good thing plans change, or our daughter would be dancing with a matchbox full of George's aches" Mia laughed

They continued dancing, until Sirius noticed another pair on the dance floor.

"Hey, aren't that Monica and Derek?" Sirius asked "I thought they were too traumatized from kissing to even face each other, no to mention touching"

"It was a prank" Izzy said behind him "They were trying to take us back from making them kiss"

"And they succeeded" George informed them

"Oh, come on! Couldn't you tell they were lying?" Sirius asked

"Hey, they were very convincing" Izzy told him "Monica even faked tears! Besides, you couldn't tell either"

"Children, do you want to have this dance together? Because I think me and George are in the way of it" Mia stated "I'm going to look for Lulu"

"I'm meeting Lee" George said, and they left father and daughter in the dance floor.

"Returning to our argument" Sirius continued "I couldn't tell either because I didn't even talk to them"

"Says the guy who couldn't tell that mom was pranking you when she told you she was leaving you for Peter Pettigrew!" Izzy shot

"She told you that?" Sirius asked in disbelief.

"You didn't even remember it was April 1st!" Izzy laughed

"Okay, enough talking!" Sirius asked "I can't believe she told you that!"

"Mum tells me everything" Izzy declared "Most of the time. Take that embarrassed look off your face. Did I mention you're my favourite dad?"

"You say that to all your dads" Sirius said back

"But I only mean it with you"
