"Sirius..." the name sounded so rich and perfect on her lips, she thought as she layed down slowly on the bed. Sirius crawled on top of her and began kissing her bare chest.

Charolette moaned quietly as his smooth lips found the crook of her neck and planted small kisses there. Sirius moved his mouth up to hers, tasting her and feeling her tongue tease his lips.

He moved his hands up and down her bare skin. She ran her hands through his long black hair as he began to kiss her navel. Releasing silent moans, she savored the sensation of his hot tongue on her stomach.

"Please Sirius...please..." she whispered softly and she kissed his neck and ran her hands down his bare back. Sirius buried his face in the crook of her neck, taking a deep breath and breathing in the scent of her hair.

He moved inside her, filling the void of sorrow she had built up over the years. His mouth reached hers as he began to move in and out slowly, breathing in her gasps.

She wrapped her arms around his neck and hid in his hair. He moved faster and stronger, filling as much of the void as he could. She felt heat beginning to rise in her and leaned back to stare into his steel blue eyes.

Charolette gazed into his eyes, never looking away as the first hot flash of heat hit her body, blinding her in waves of scarlet trembles. He stared deeply into her gaze and felt himself lose all thoughts in amber waves.

Sirius stopped moving and fell headfirst into the abyss of her amber eyes. He felt himself pour into her and felt her gasps of pleasure rock his heart inside his chest. He felt heat rise and spread through his body, and buried his face in her hair, clenching his teeth.

Charolette layed there, breathless and blinded by the final rush of heat. Sirius wrapped Charolette up tightly in his arms, gazing longingly into her eyes.

"I love you, Charolette Graye," he said softly, planting a kiss on her sultry lips.

Charolette smiled and kissed his mouth again, harder and with passion.

"I love you too, Sirius Black," she replied, smiling again and burying her face in the crook of his neck.

"You mean she's dead?" Charolette said, her voice full of astonishment.

"Yes, I'm afraid so...it seems that Voldemort punished Maggie and Malfoy for letting you get away...apparently you know too much." Dumbledore replied sadly, his face drained of it's usual cheerfulness. He looked tired and worried, like a huge strain was carried on his back. Which in more ways then one, it was.

Charolette couldn't believe it. Tears began to well inside her eyes. Her only sister was...dead. Just like that. And it was all her fault.

Sirius wrapped his arms tigher around her shoulders and kissed away her tears.

"I'm sorry baby.." he said softly. "So what do we have to do now?"

Dumbledore covered his face in his hands and thought for a moment.

"Charolette is in great danger, we must keep her safe at all times...that's really all we can do.."

Sirius clenched his fists. Voldemort had taken away everything he'd ever held dear...his brothers, his best friend, and now his soul mate was threatened. He couldn't let it happen. No, he WOULDN'T let it happen.

Charolette cleared her throat and looked up at Dumbledore.

"There's got to be someway that we can stop him...I can't be on the run forever..."

"There really isn't anything you can do, my child." Dumbledore said sadly, covering his face in his hands again.

"What are you doing?" Sirius asked.

He had walked into Charolette's room to find her looking in the mirror, wearing long black robes and fixing her dark hair into a tight bun.

"I'm going to London, then back to New York...I can't endanger the students here...if Voldemort's after me he's going to have to come get me."

Sirius looked at her dumbstruck.

"Your leaving? Just like that?"

"I'm doing what is best for the saftey of everyone here, I have to leave." Charolette turned around to face Sirius, her amber eyes blazing. "I'm doing what is best for my daughter and my friends."

Sirius walked up to her and placed a hand on her cheek. She looked up into his eyes, the closeness causing more pain then it should have.

"I'll come with you..."

"You can't...I can't endanger you as well...if you come with me you might get hurt...I couldn't live with that."

"You might not live at all Charolette!" Sirius said, his voice filled with anger.

"I'm prepared for that, as long as no one I care about is in danger...I have to go." She leaned up and kissed his lips softly. "I'm sorry Sirius."

Charolette picked up her suitcase that was lying on the bed and walked swiftly out of the room, leaving Sirius standing alone.

Charolette sat impatiently in the train station leading to London. Why did this have to be the ONE day the train was running late? she thought. Oh well, it doesn't matter now, as long as I'm away from Hogwarts and the wizarding world.

She heard the faint sound of the train whistle and stood up, grabbing her small suitcase. The train pulled into the station and Charolette hopped on. She sat down in a small booth near the door, it would be easier to get out that way.

The train sat for about 15 minutes while the rest of the passengers boarded. Charolette buried her face in a book so that no one would recognize her just in case.

At last, the train began to move. Charolette felt anxiety building in her stomach as she thought about how cowardly she was being. It was the right thing to do, and yet very unlike her.

Or maybe it was just like her, she thought. She ran away from her old life to come to Hogwarts, and now she was running back to it. Her daughter would be safe and happy at Hogwarts now that she wasn't there. It was all she could offer her now.

Awhile later, the train pulled into Kings Cross station. Charolette picked up her suitcase and hurried off the train, trying to beat the crowds. She ran to the bus stop and boarded a bus that was just about to leave.

The bus took her to the airport about 15 minutes later. Ah, she thought, finally I can leave and rid the wizarding world of my presence. It really is better this way.

She again ran into the airport, racing to the lines to buy her ticket. The airport wasn't very busy, and so she was able to get the next ticket leaving for New York City right away.

The plane was to take off in 30 minutes so she ran as fast as she could to the waiting area in front of the doors leading to the plane. When she got there, she quietly sat down and caught her breath.

There weren't many people there, people obviously didn't feel like going to the U.S. Or maybe they just didn't want to go to New York.

Charolette sat quietly, anxiety building ever more in her stomach and clouding her thoughts.
