See how fast this update was? Less than a 24 hour waiting period! Am I good or am I good? Anyway, the entire time I was listening to this chapter I was listening to 'Can't Stand It' from Never Shout Never. If you haven't heard that song I suggest you look it up and listen. Even though it isn't their song, I feel like it describes Hallee and Sirius's relationship pretty well. ANYWAYS thanks to my beautiful reviewers:

Disclaimer: I don't own any of the songs in this chapter, OR Harry Potter. I barely own this laptop.

"Alright class, now that I have assigned you your partners, commence working on the potion on the board. When the class is over submit a sample for grading." Slughorn tapped the board with his wand and specific instructions appeared. He walked over to his desk and began feasting on candied pineapple.

"Why the hell would Sughorn put US together?" Sirius grinned at Hallee, his potions partner.

"Tut tut, so naïve." Hallee grinned, shaking her head and reaching for the ingredients of the potion.

"What are you doing Wednesday after classes?" Sirius asked, as he started cutting up some weird purple root that was pulsing a little.

"The usual, you?" Hallee asked, eyeing the root with suspicion.

"I was hoping to meet you at the astronomy tower? Right after classes end?" Sirius finished slicing the root and moved on to squishing various berries as Hallee tended to the cauldron.

"Sounds like a plan." Hallee slid in the purple root and it hissed as it met the boiling water. Suddenly James walked into the class late and marched to Hallee and Sirius's desk, "Phoenix meeting, Friday night, mandatory." He said in such a low whisper they barely heard him. He walked innocently to his lab partner, Remus, and began working on the potion.

"I'm sorry, the ASTRONOMY TOWER?" Sirius and Hallee turned around to see Lily glaring at the two. "You realize that as a prefect I can give you both detentions for sneaking up there."

"Fine. Do it." Sirius grinned, remembering his and Hallee's last detention together.

"OR," Hallee cut between the two, "I could just divulge the supreme blackmail I have on miss Lily-kins, and she would be too busy fighting off an angry fan club for her to give us a detention, or even glare at us disapprovingly."

Lily squinted her eyes and leaned closer to Hallee, "What do you know?"

"Oh nothing…just that you and a certain quidditch keeper are QUITE friendly."

Lily looked at both Hallee and Sirius with suspicion, and then relief, "Well go ahead, tell the world, I was going to later anyway."

"What? I thought you would me horribly embarrassed to shout your relationship with that 'toe-rag' to the heavens." Hallee looked at Lily and cocked an eyebrow.

"Well I figure people will see us together anyway…and he's really sweet…and a BLOODY good kisser." She blushed as red as her hair and looked down while Sirius started laughing.

"P-p-prongs mate!" Sirius doubled over, "How long have you been snogging the brains out of our little miss Evans?"

James, to his credit, blushed as well and mumbled something like "Shut up Padfoot." Before going back to potion making.

It was still light out, but classes were over when Sirius and Hallee met at the tower.

"Hey." Sirius hugged her and grabbed her hand, leading her so they could both look out over the grounds.

"Hey. How were classes?"

"Boring without you." He nuzzled her neck and she giggled, pulling his face to hers so she could kiss him on the mouth. Sirius pulled away and looked at her hard, thinking. "You're pretty." He said after a while.

"Sirius, I already lo…like you." Hallee rolled her eyes and hopped Sirius hadn't heard her slip up. "You don't have to call me things to get me to kiss you."

"I'm not just calling you things." Sirius pulled Hallee even closer and kissed her forehead. "I have something to tell you."

"Yea?" Hallee looked into his dark grey eyes, which were clouded over in thought. A small crease had formed between his eyebrows.

"I think I…that is to say…I really…well…"

Halle cut him off, "Sirius, I love you." They stared at each other for a while, until he leaned down and kissed her, "Me too."

They kissed for a while after that, Hallee leaning against a wall while Sirius's hands wrapped around her waist, pulling her close. Then it was Hallee's turn to pull away.

"You do?" She knew about his issues with commitment. She herself was scared to give what they had together a title, first because 'girlfriend and boyfriend' seemed so trivial and immature, and also because of the pressure it would put on Sirius to stay and commit.

"Yea, I've loved you for a long time."

Hallee couldn't stop smiling as she wrapped her arms around his neck, "Yea? Well here's some news for you: I've known I loved you since first and second year-"

"We all knew that." Sirius laughed.

"What? Are you serious?" Hallee blushed, thinking how hard she had tried to hide her infatuation with the tall dark-haired male.

"Yes, actually I am." Sirius and Hallee burst into laughter. "But you wouldn't rather say...Bill Kaulitz…love you instead?" Sirius looked at her nervously, thinking back to the times where Hallee would openly declare her love for the singer.

"Sirius, Bill Kaulitz is highly overrated. He is not nearly as good looking as you. And I can't say if he's funnier or nicer because I've never met him…but he doesn't even speak English. I'd rather be with you any day."

"Well fine then, if today counts as any day…" Sirius waggled his eyebrows.

"I wouldn't want to be a liar." Hallee giggled, kissing him once more.

"Lemon drop." Sirius said to the gargoyle guarding Dumbleodre's office. It jumped aside and he grabbed Hallee's hand, leading her up the stairs. "we're here. Sorry we're late, we got…distracted." Everyone looked at Hallee's mussed hair and heard Sirius's rapid breathing and rolled their eyes.

"Good. We are all here." Dumbleore smiled, oblivious to the awkward Hallee and Sirius situation. First order of business, everyone greet the people around you." Hallee looked around, The marauders were there, so were Lily, Dorcas, Frank and Alice. Some adults she had never seen before were there, and two Hufflepuffs. Not exactly the 'Army' she had been hoping to see rise against the 'Dark Lord'.

Hallee waved at Alice and Lily and they rolled their eyes at her but smiled. Hallee noticed that James was standing with his hand around Lily's hip, and she bit back a grin.

"Fantastic." Dumbledore said, once everyone had nodded at everyone else, "Now you are all members of the Order of the Phoenix, and as such you all have equal say in what goes on here. It is with this in mind that I divulge facts gathered by certain spies about Lord Voldemort." At this name a few people flinched but no one hissed or cowered like others did.

"We have word that he is planning an attack in a local muggle town. Probably just trying to stir some fear, but I feel this would be the ideal place to stop him. He hasn't gathered many followers, but more flock to him daily. I believe that we should launch a counter attack, stop him before he does any damage to the town or the muggles residing in it."

"Hear hear!" Shouted a tall man with a deep voice.

"Thank you, Kingsley." Dumbledore nodded to the man. "I feel like a fool dragging seventh years into a battle…but with such few people available you are some of the best we have. You only have to fight if you want to, no one will hold it against you if you decide not to fight."

Hallee heard a low growl from Sirius that alerted her that HE would hold something against the cowards that didn't stand up and fight.

"All who will be joining me in the battle, raise your wands!" Dubledore announced as he raised his own.

Kingsley was the first to raise his, shouting, "Hear Hear!"

The rest of the adults did the same, followed by the marauders, Alice, Frank, Lily, the two Hufflepuffs, and Hallee, "Hear Hear!"

Sirius looked down and Hallee, his wand still raised. "What?"

"I said, 'Hear Hear!' as in, 'Let's go kill this ass hole!'" Hallee clarified.

"Yea, no. I heard what you said…no. You're not allowed."

"What?" Hallee's blood boiled, "Who put you in charge of my life?"

"Look, it's not me trying to control you, it's just that you're a girl, and-"

"Girls can't do anything? Is that it?" Hallee raised an eyebrow and sent him her best 'you will die unless you shut up' look.

"No! That's not it! But…you know. Girls just aren't as strong as guys…and the majority of death eaters are blokes…so…" Sirius was looking meek now and awkwardly scratched the back of his head and shrugged.

"Oh shut up, I'm a big girl now, Sirius, I can take care of myself." People were still chanting 'Hear Hear!' and 'Down with Voldemort!' so no one was listening in on their conversation.

"I know. But I just got you…and I don't want to lose you."

"I'd sigh and cry into your arms if you weren't being such an overprotective git." Hallee mused, but kissed him on the cheek, "I'm going, that's that. No arguments, you got it?"

"Yes m'am." Sirius looked sad, but resigned to her fate.

"AAND MEADOWS HAS THE SNITCH! GRYFFINDOR WINS!" Lea announced to the crowd.

Dorcas flew down to the bottom of the pitch, clutching the snitch firmly in her fist, that was raised in the air.

"Gryffindor has won their first match of the season against Hufflepuff! Better luck next time Hufflepuff! What's this? Miss Evans seems to be leading the crowd of happy Gryffindors onto the pitch! Maybe she is going to congratulate her roommates Dorcas and Hallee! What? No my friends! Instead she has done something that is making hell freeze over! That's right, she is KISSING James Potter!" McGonagall seemed to stunned at this to reprimand Leah for using the announcer for something like this.

Hallee turned around and sure enough, Lily and James were embraced in a VERY passionate kiss. People had formed a circle around them and were cheering enthusiastically. Many of James's friends patted his back.

They broke apart and James looked at Lily with a goofy grin on his face, "Lily Evans, will you go out with me? Not in secret this time?"

She was grinning in the same goofy way and said, "Of course." Before almost everyone on the pitch but the Slytherins cheered.

"Oh my god that was so romantic." Alice muttered to Frank, who, seizing the opportunity, grabbed Alice and twirled her around and leaned over her, holding her back with his forearm and kissed her.

"Wow, that took skill." Sirius appraised Frank's moves.

"I know, I'm kind of blown away." Hallee muttered.

"Well…I bet we could show them a thing or two." Sirius grinned and waggled his eyebrows and Hallee slid her arms around his neck and started kissing him. They were both smiling into the kiss and with some help from Sirius her legs were soon wrapped around his waist.

Hallee pulled away, gasping for breath, "I think we showed them." She said, a little dizzily. Sirius helped her down and kissed her a bit slower than they had been doing before.

Hallee grinned into Sirius's kiss and grabbed his hand. They ran together off the pitch and towards the school, but instead of going inside they leaned against one of the walls and sat in the grass. Everyone was still at the pitch so they were alone. Hallee reached into one of her pockets and pulled out her ipod "Do you take that everywhere?" Sirius asked.

"Just about." Hallee muttered, sticking one of the earbuds into his ear and the other into hers. She put it on shuffle and smiled while playing with his hand as the song 'Can't Stand It' by Never Shout Never came on. She tapped her foot to the rhythm and Sirius leaned his head on her shoulder and reached his free hand around her shoulders.

The song changed and 'Chasing Cars' came on. Hallee grinned at the memory of the dance, when she and Sirius had danced together.

"I remember this song!" Sirius shouted.

"So do I." Hallee answered.

"I like it."

"Me too."

The couple slid down so they were laying in the grass rather than leaning against the castle. Hallee's head was on Sirius's arm and their feet were touching. Sirius pointed to a cloud in the sky, "That one looks like a really pissed McGonagall."

Hallee turned her head to the side and smirked. It did. "If that's McGonagall then that's Slughorn." Hallee pointed to an almost circular cloud in the distance. Both she and Sirius collapsed into a fit of laughter.

"This could be our song, you know." Sirius said after a while.

"I think I'd like that." Hallee sighed.

So…..did you listen to the song? Huh? What do you think? Why don't you tell me in a review? That would be spectacular! Oh, btw, I got an inkpop account…if you're interested in non-fanfiction check that out the link's on my profile (Shamelessly plugging….) I don't have any stories up yet, just some poems, but I'm working on that issue! (It's not really an issue, why did I just call that an issue? The world will never know…)
