Really short chapter here, I could have made it longer but I didn't want the battle to be in this chapter, so it's not. I'm sorry this chapter is so rushed…There were just a couple things that had to happen and when I tried to string them together it didn't turn out all flowy like I had wanted. Thank you to all my lurvely reviewers:

EchoraNight – (A lot of people think that Dippet was the headmaster, but if Dumbledore was headmaster from 1970 until his untimely demise, and the Marauders were in Hogwarts mid to late seventies, than Dumbledore would be headmaster. Thanks for your review!)

Nyxera, (Thanks!), (yea, it's Snow Patrol, and thanks for your review!)

Kimmmz (thanks!)

xXxHadesInkspellxXx (Well then, feeling rebellious? Fine! I never finished the book Inkspell! Suck on THAT!...oh, and thanks for your review)

Another witty ninja (Thanks for your review, and don't worry, it was semi-coherent!)

"Stupefy!" Hallee shouted and the witch she had been practicing on stiffened up and fell to the floor.

A set of strong hands moved around her waist and a deep voice said "You're cute when you're worked up."

"I thought you didn't want me to be part of this attack." Hallee said back. Every day the seventh years in the Order had training sessions with the older members. Today a wizard who seemed about thirty was the teacher, and he was reviewing the basic spells.

Sirius let go of Hallee and took the traditional dueling stance, facing her, "Of course I don't want you to be part of it. What if you get hurt?"

Hallee rolled her eyes and sent a silent spell over to Sirius, who dodged it so it hit a lamp instead, which exploded. "What if I got hurt?" Hallee asked. "Either I die or they patch me up in Saint Mungos. Probably the later, because I'm fucking awesome at this dueling stuff."

Sirius sighed and sent a nonverbal spell back, which Hallee blocked. "You're good…but you're not perfect."

"I don't have to be. Look, my goal is to take down as many death eaters down as I can. If I go in the process, at least I took more of them than they took of us." Hallee realized she had said the wrong thing when Sirius put away his wand. He walked towards her and enveloped her in a hug, "You're worth more than a thousand of those guys."

"Shut up." Hallee muttered, blushing. Sirius just hummed and started rubbing circles in her back.

"I will when you decide not to fight with us."

"Why are you so against this? I've dueled you so many times in our seven years here, and usually I win."

"Because I know how dark wizards operate. You don't." Sirius mumbled in her ear. "I grew up with them. They don't take mercy on you because you're a cute little girl…they might even hurt you more for that." Sirius hugged her closer.

"It's for the greater good." Hallee sighed, "Lily and Alice are doing this. Frank and James don't seem to mind."

"You don't room with them. It's a constant stream of how worried they are. It's a guy's responsibility to take care of his girl-"

"I'm sorry." Hallee pulled away from Sirius, "HIS girl? No. I am not property. I am my own person. I can make my own decisions."

Sirius rubbed his temples and groaned, "Fine. I'll let you fight-"

"I would have been fighting anyway so technically you're just accepting my fate."

"Right." Sirius groaned again, "You fight…but I have to be by you the entire time. Deal?"

"Is that as much leeway as I'm going to get?" Hallee raised an eyebrow.

"Yea, pretty much."

"Fine. Deal." Hallee sighed.

"Brilliant. Back to the duel then?" Sirius got in dueling stance and Hallee obliged.

Tomorrow was the first day of winter break. It was supposed to be the day the Order of the Phoenix started their plan. It was ten o'clock at night, and Hallee and Sirius were in the room of requirement, lying together on a couch, watching a fireplace crackle.

"Hey Hallee?"

"Yea?" Hallee turned and saw that he had been staring at her, rather than the fire.

"Why are you so insistent on fighting with us tomorrow?"

"Not this again!" Hallee groaned, "I thought we had reached an agreement!"

"We had, I'm just curious as to why you REALLY want to fight against him. I've given you plenty of opportunities to say no."

"Because…I don't think anyone should have to live in fear of anything else…no one should be forced to do something…and no one should be hated just because of who their parents are." Hallee explained, thinking about it. "Why do YOU want to fight tomorrow?"

"I grew up with dark wizards Hallee, I know how fucked up they can be…they only want to hurt, and when they hurt others they feel good. I don't want them to hurt you." Sirius grabbed her hand.

"Then don't let them." Hallee smiled playfully.

"Don't worry, I won't." Hallee leaned her head on his shoulder, and he held her protectively, watching the fire, and occasionally stealing glances at the beautiful girl in his arms.

"I don't want you to do this." Sirius said quietly.

"It's for the greater good. This could actually stop Voldemort. And other people, including you, would be there." Hallee mumbled.

"I don't think I could live without you." Sirius kissed her lightly on the lips.

"Stop. Don't ever say that." Hallee turned stern, and pulled away from him, "Your life is more important to me than anything. I love you, and god damn it if I die and you live, and then from wherever the hell I am after that find out you killed yourself, I will not forgive you. You have to promise me that if something bad happens, if the plan goes wrong, you'll move on." Hallee looked into his eyes, "Promise me."

"I promise." Sirius kissed her again, "If you promise to fight for your life just as hard as I will."

"I promise." Hallee held his hand tightly.

"I don't think I could bare it if this was our last night here." Sirius said remorsefully to the fireplace.

"Then let's not waste it." Hallee looked at Sirius meaningfully.

"Wait…what?" Sirius looked at her, and she cocked an eyebrow and ran her hand along his thigh.

"A-are you sure?" Sirius looked at Hallee, "With me? Right now? It's your choice, not mine."

"Sirius, I love you." Hallee leaned forward and kissed him slowly, and Sirius wrapped his strong arms around her protectively. She drew her tongue along his lips and he opened them, letting her make the choices on how far they went. Hallee payed particular attention to his lower lip, and he let out a low moan before he pressed her down so she was laying face up on the couch and in between kisses he began to mutter charms that Hallee had learned in the awkward 'Wizard Health' one month course back in fifth year.

Hallee woke up and yawned, realizing that it must be morning already. Memories came flooding back of last night and she smiled to herself, and turned over on the couch to come face to face with Sirius Black, his arm draped lazily over her waist. She smiled at his sleeping form and moved his arm off of her, before she crawled off and began collecting her clothes from the floor that had been hastily discarded the night before.

Hallee was just pulling on her t-shirt when she heard a grumble from Sirius, behind her. "Wakey wakey." Hallee sing songed. She pulled up her jeans and sat on the floor to tie on her shoes.

"Can we just stay here all day?" Sirius asked. Hallee laughed at his face, which was partially smushed into the couch.

"As lovely as that would be…today is the day Voldemort is supposed to…"

"Oh…" Sirius sat up and ran a hand through his hair. "You know…you can still change your mind."

"And you could shut up and stop being over protective." Hallee pulled on her hoodie.

"I COULD…but I won't, not until the battle is over." Sirius stood and started getting dressed also.

Hallee rolled her eyes and led Sirius out of the room.

Well this chapter was…interesting…the next chapter isn't written yet because of my laziness so it may be at least two days until it is uploaded…tell me your thoughts!
