Second to Go- *Ten*

I'm obsessed with my own story- how sad is that? hehehe- okay this is the final part. It'll have a sequel called something along the lines of "Blackened Days"



Edea woke up with a start and promptly screamed.

"I told you she'd do that." Madam Pomfrey told Dumbledore as he tried to stop the ringing in his ears. "But would you listen? oh no..."

"Edea?" Dumbledore spoke quietly, "You're okay now, it's over."

"What the hell happened?"

"Over-tortured by Voldemort, and from what i've heard from Sirius and Remus, Lucius Malfoy had a part to play."

"I remember." Edea nodded, sitting up. "They knew i was coming and tricked me."

"She's awake?" Sirius stuck his head round the door. "That's a good thing because Remus is having a great deal of trouble controlling his class of DADA students."

"Funny, Sirius." Edea snarked.

"Oh, she's back to normal then." Sirius rolled his eyes as Remus walked in

"How long was i out?" Edea waved at Remus

"Since last night when you got attacked, its about 3pm now." Dumbledore looked at the sundial near the window. "You're improving on your down-time."

"Yeah. It wasn't as bad, after the 4th and 4th attack i kinda tuned it out. Slipped into unconsciousness instead. Did i miss anything?"

"Apart from Sirius bawling his eyes out this morning, and me hitting Voldemort round the head with a chair? No, not really." Remus grinned at Sirius who went pink

"You hit HIM?" Edea grinned, "Amazing."

"Very therapeutic." Remus nodded.

"I can't believe you told her that." Sirius hissed at Remus.

"It's very sweet." Edea smiled. "can i get up now?"

Madam Pomfrey raised a quizzical eyebrow. "If you think you can walk without falling down, then yes."

Edea hoisted herself out of bed. "That was such a gift of god."

"I totally agree." Sirius grabbed her waist, keeping her straight. "C'mon, you are going down without falling."

"You know, even Snape came to see you." Sirius told her as they walked down through the corridors, "He looked a bit pale."

"well we're friends aren't we." Edea shrugged, "He can look pale if he wants to. Me, i have a Malfoy to beat the crap out of..."

"Ohhh no, you're not going near any death eater." Remus grabbed her other arm, "Even if you're ordered, okay?"

"Yes, mother." Edea rolled her eyes, "I AM an auror you know."

"Who just had a nasty run in with Voldie, you have some down time to take advantage of you know."
Sirius kicked open the door to her office.

"You seen Harry yet?" Edea asked, delving through her trunk.

"Yeah, lunch time." Sirius nodded, "He was so relieved to see us. By the look on his face, you would have thought we'd just been reincarnated or something."

Edea grinned a little. "You gotta hand it to the guy,"

Remus muttered something about rowdy seventh years as an explosion was heard along the corridor, he left, closing the door behind him.

Sirius at back down on the desk again. "I was worried, when i saw you."

"Did i look that bad?" Edea frowned, looking at the bruises on her face, "I didn't feel so bad."

"Well... I think i've done my share of heroics for the week, don't you?"

"Definitely. I just wish.."

"Wish what?"

"I'd caught Peter. Blown up Malfoy, and dismembered Voldemort."

"That's quite a bit for a day's work." Sirius smiled, watching her pout at the mirror.

"I know." She whispered.

"Wipe that ugly pout off your face young lady." The mirror squaked at her. "It's incredibly unbecoming."

"Thanks." Edea frowned, "That was SUCH an ego-boost."

"Yeah, like your ego NEEDS boosting." Sirius laughed.

"Don't you start on my ego."

"Portare." Sirius point his wand at her. Edea slid across the room towards him, dragged by the magic.

"That was just unfair." Edea gave him a playful slap.

"We play by my rules." He grinnned, pulling her closer, he kissed her.

"Uhm, guys?" Sirius pulled away sharply at the voice, seeing Remus stick his head round the door.
"Just wanted to remind you to come up for air."

"You. Are. Dead." Sirius growled as he chased Remus out of the room.

"Great." Edea said to herself. "Explain that one."

The summer holidays were drawing closer, and Sirius had purchased a house just outside Hogsmeade.
Harry was geting excited about finally leaving the Dursleys, whom he hadn't told yet. He wanted Sirius to tell them for him, just to see their faces.

"You can come to visit." Harry said to Ron and Hermione as the Hogwarts Express drew into platform 9 3/4. "I think Sirius wants to go on holiday early August, but i'll owl you when i get back."

"Like i'd miss seeing a house that belongs to Sirius Black." Ron joked.

"Good luck with telling the Dursleys," Hermione shouted to Hary as she went through the barrier.
Harry had already seen Edea and Sirius walk through. Planning on ambushing Mr.Dursley from behind.

As Harry pushed his trolley through the barrier he spotted the red-faced Dursley at once, looking extremely moody.

"You got your stuff, boy?" Vernon barked, giving his owl a glare.

"Yes." Hary smiled.

"What're you smiling for?" Mr.Dursley's moustace twitched nervously as a black-haired figure he faintly recognised from the TV walked up to him. "What do you want?" He said menacingly

"Oh, nothing much, my godson really." Sirius shrugged.

"You're Mr.Dursley?" Edea came up brightly, shaking his hand with as much fake enthusiasm as she could muster. "You really are something aren't you. Taking care of Harry for all those years..."

"WHO ARE YOU?" he bellowed

"I'm Harry's Godfather, Siris Black." Sirius grinned widely. "And this is Edea, i'm sure you recognise her from your sister in law's wedding..."

"TAke him. You FREAKS!" Vernon said loudly to them. "And dont come dropping him on our doorstep when you get what you asked for!!!"

"Oh don't worry." Sirius winked. "We'll drop something far more hideous on that doorstep of yours if you're not careful."

Harry joined in with the laugher as Vernon Dursley almost ran out of the station to his car.
"C'mon." Sirius took hold of Harry's trolley. "You have a room to decorate."
