Chapter 25: All We Have Are Accusations

I woke up snuggled in a warm bed, engulfed in a comforting smell. I felt the tickling sensation of someone's soft fingertips against my naked skin.

Sirius was already awake with a beautiful smile on his face. I looked into his eyes, matching his smile with one of my own. He is the love of my life; I know it and it hurt me to think that I accused him of being the traitor.

"Good Morning." Sirius said, drawing me out of my thoughts. I couldn't resist his pink lips, planting a soft kiss on them, "How are you?"

"Fine."

"You're gorgeous" He said and I blushed, "I love you." He kissed the tip of my nose

"I love you too." I said. I bent over the side of the bed looking for my clothes but most of them were by the door and my shirt is in the other room.

"What are you looking for?" Sirius asked.

"My clothes. I have to pee." He laughed at me for a second before he climbed out of the bed stark naked, I blushed. He took a shirt off his dresser and handed it to me when he climbed back into bed.

"I would like a shower if you don't mined." I said hovering over him after I put on his shirt.

"Everything is already in there." He told me, "And breakfast is in the kitchen."

"How long have you been up?'

"Not too long." He's so cute and so much more loving then I thought.

"I have to shower by myself." I pouted as I disappeared into the bathroom. I heard his feet on the floor before he wrapped his arms around me while I turned on the steamy shower.

---

After a very sensual shower, we snuggled up on the couch, eating the fruit he had out for breakfast. Breakfast was disrupted by the crack of someone apparating in.

"Sirius. Oh sorry." Remus said seeing me in Sirius's shirt and Sirius is only a pair of sweatpants, "Lola, I didn't know you were home."

"I got in last night."

He nodded slowly, "Sirius, Moody came to headquarters looking for you. He said he wants you to help the Aurors today."

"You were at Headquarters? You're there an awful lot." Sirius said giving him a suspicious look as he got up.

"Unlike you I don't secretly work with the Aurors, which you're late for." Remus said angrily. Sirius kept looking at Remus suspiciously.

"Thanks." He turned to me, "I have to go but will you be here when I get home?"

"Hopefully, I have a few things I need to get sorted first." He kissed me and gave Remus another suspicious glance on his way to his bedroom.
"I'm going back to headquarters." Remus announced.
"Could you drop me off at the Leaky Cauldron? I hate floo powder." I asked.

"You rented out a room? Why didn't you just come here?"

"I need some alone time to adjust being back." I lied; not wanting to tell him that I didn't think it was safe for me to come back to here. He shrugged and held out his hand for me. He didn't linger at the Leaky Cauldron when he dropped me off.

----

That evening Remus came back to Sirius's and mine flat a little after I had returned, Sirius still hadn't come home from work yet.

"Dumbledore needs you." He said the second he apparated in. No hello, no how are you, strictly business.

"At headquarters again, were you?" I said as I put away the plates from my late night dinner, "You are there an awful lot."

"Like I told Sirius earlier." He said through gritted teeth, "I don't have a mission for the Order that I'm always at like he is and I don't have a job because no one will hire a ferocious monster." I hate accusing him, I hated accusing Sirius but we live in a world of doubt, all we have are accusations.

"He said it's important. The Aurors need you." Remus said, quickly changing the subject. I walked over to him and held onto his arm, I wish I could apparate, life would be easier.

Dumbledore was waiting for us when we apparated to headquarters; I was scared at that point, praying that nothing bad had happened. I've realized I do that more now, praying. I think that's all we have now; hope is dead, now all we have are prayers. Our lives aren't lived on our hopes and dreams but on our prayers.

"Oh good, you came quickly." Dumbledore said rushing over to me, "There is a team of Aurors down in the Department of Mysteries; they think that Death Eaters are down their controlling employees. They need your powers. You'll floo to the ministry and go down as far down as you can." He explained as he walked me to the fireplace.

"What's in the Department?" I asked.

"No one really knows but very powerful magic is down there." He handed me a handful of floo powder and pushed me towards the fireplace.

I hate floo powder, if I had known I would be traveling by floo powder then I wouldn't have worn my light wash jeans. I brushed off my jeans off as I walked to the lifts. There was only one button that went down. I stepped out of the lift, the corridor was barely lit; I guess I could go farther down. It is chilly and I keep getting an eerie feeling with every step I take. Someone grabbed my arm and pulled me off the path. I was ready to freeze him when a wand light lit up his face.

"Sirius." I breathed.

"Shhh..we've been waiting for you." He whispered, "Just around the corner is two Death Eaters standing guard of the Department's entrance. Freeze 'em." I nodded. I glanced around the corner first before sticking my hands around the corner, freezing the two men.

"Okay, lets go." Sirius said. He grabbed my wrist and I awkwardly followed along with the other Aurors. I recognized all of the Aurors, they were all Order members; I wonder if this really is approved by the Ministry or if it is, did Dumbledore make sure it was his members that were sent? We slipped past the frozen men and through the double doors.

"Where now?" Sirius asked; Moody stepped up.

"We'll only know if we go through the doors, this room has some tricks of its own." Moody said, "Two to that door and two to that one." He ordered and without any more command, four Aurors including Sirius stepped up; I wished he wouldn't go, I didn't want him to play hero when we didn't know what was on the other side. A few minutes later all four men come out of their respective doors.

"Nothing." They echoed.

"Mark the doors with an X." Moody said. The men clearly didn't understand why but once they stepped away from the doors the room spun; making me feel nauseas as I watched the blurry Xs whirl by me.

"Okay, again." Moody said. The same four men went through two more doors.

"This way." A voice yelled from the door Sirius went through. Sirius and his partner were waiting for us just behind the door.

"The door was open." Sirius's partner said.

"I thought so." Moody mumbled, "Be careful men and do try to be accurate with your spells." Accurate, does that really matter?

"Let's go." Moody said leading the Aurors in. I started to follow when Sirius held me back.

"I want you to be careful. Just yell and I'll be at your side." He said then kissed my forehead.

We hurried into the room; I know why he told us to be accurate. The room was filled with glass orbs; there were shelves of them. I saw someone scurrying along one of the rows ahead of me. I started after the person, not realizing that I was blindly running through a room I didn't know what was in it. I almost ran passed the person I was following.

"Found you." I said louder then I meant. The man, who looked like he was looking for something on the shelves, threw a spell at me. I yelped, jumping aside and freezing him. Like he promised, Sirius was at my side at my yelp.

"Are you alright?" He asked helping me to my feet.

I pointed to the frozen man.

"Oh…what was he doing?" Sirius asked, staring at him.

"Searching for something, I think." I said getting closer, "Umm…here." I flicked my wrist and unfroze his head.

"What the hell?" The guy said, I think he was struggling but he was frozen, so I can't really tell.

"Hi there." I said, "Were you looking for something?"

"What did you do to me?" He growled.

"I asked first." I teased.

"I'll die before I tell you anything." He snarled.

"I can help with that." I said, I flicked my hand again and unfroze his fingers.

"It's you." He almost laughed, "Master knows about you. You and your friends won't last much longer." I threw a hand up and blew up his unfrozen hand. He screamed in pain, I'm surprised that some of the glass orbs didn't break.

"You crazy bitch." He snarled. Sirius stepped up but I put a hand on his arm for him to stop, "You deserve to die along with your mudbloods and blood traitors. He wont be kind either. You wont be spared." I didn't want to hear any more, I threw my hands up and he blew up, making a mess.

"Why?" Sirius asked.

"I didn't want to hear any more." I told him, checking myself to make sure that I didn't get any of him on me, "Do your magic and clean up will ya?" He did, "I'm going home."

"I'll come."

"No." I said, "I want to be alone and you can't just leave right now," Truth be told, that guy's words scared me.

"Ok, I'll be home as soon as I can." He said but part of me wished he would ignore me and come home with me but I nodded. I was going to turn and just walk away but I pulled him into a kiss, a long passionate kiss.

----

I flooed home from the ministry. The flat was engulfed in darkness when I stepped out of the fireplace. I flicked on a tableside lamp and jumped at the loud pop from behind me. I whirled around; I was no longer alone. The man that appeared in the flat wore a traveling cloak over his tall lanky figure and a hood was pulled over his head. It wasn't until he looked up from the floor to me that I saw his piercing red eyes and menacing smile.

"We finally meet." He drawled taking a step forward, playing with his wand in his hand.

"How did you know where to find me?" I asked, blindly taking a step backwards.

"I have my ways."

"Right, praying on the weak and confused." I spat scrambling across the room.

"Now, that's unfair." His voice was filled with mock disappointment.

"It's true." I said.

"I accepted him unlike his friends. I helped him find the confidence he always wanted." He told me, "I made him the person he wanted to be."

"By making him turn on his friends." I yelled.

"Friends?" He cried out with a laugh, "They were never his friends."

"James, Sirius and Remus did everything for him." I yelled, "They watched out for him."

"Then why weren't they there when he pledged his loyalty to me." He said calmly. I didn't have an answer, "You'd be so surprised at how loyal he can be."

"Peter's a fucking traitor." I said throwing up my hands at him but he only flinched, dropping his shoulder slightly.

"Now why did you have to go and do that, we were having such a nice talk." He said raising his wand at me then I was flying through the air into a wall. I scrambled to my feet, throwing my hands at him; I watched the small sparks on his body every time I threw my hands at him. He took a couple of steps after I kept trying to blow him up. He pointed his wand at me, I attempted to freeze him. He moved in slow motion then suddenly his spell hit me full force. I was blown backwards and was gasping for the air that was knocked out of me.

I got to my feet again and was about to continue my hopeless battle when he spoke again,

"I didn't come here to play games." He growled, "If you haven't realized it yet, you wont kill me; I've made sure of that."

"I'll still try even if it kills me." I told him, blasting him again. He defected it and my own power hit me in my shoulder. The skin burned but didn't gush blood.

"I'm not going to play with you anymore." He said, "I'll let you live, just swear your allegiance to me."

"Go to hell." I yelled, "I'm not a weak piece of shit who's afraid of those who are more powerful."

"I am more powerful and you should be afraid." He snarled, "Peter saw that fact and he will live longer then you." Fear was starting to grip me and I had no way out. I swallowed my fear and blasted him again.

"So be it." He said pointing his wand at me, "Don't worry you're friends will be with you soon." I used every ounce of power in me to freeze him but he broke the freeze faster and a green light rushed towards me as I tried to get away.
