~Ok, ch.8. Hope you like!~
Around 3 in the morning Harry and Misti headed back to the common room. Harry stopped her in front of the flight of stairs leading to her dormitory. Unexpectedly, he pulled her into a passionate kiss. What lasted for only a few savored minutes could have lasted for hours if someone hadn't interrupted them. McGonagall and Sirius stood in the portrait hole and as far as they knew, had been there for the last couple of minutes.
"Professor, I, we were just..." Harry stuttered. With Sirius there as well he hoped this would go smoothly.
"Mr. Potter, I suggest you head to bed. I was simply making sure the festivity had ended. Misti," In the midst of sneaking upstairs she was stopped in her tracks, "Your father would like to speak with you for a brief moment." With that said, McGonagall left. Harry said good night with a brief kiss and left for his dormitory as told. Misti was left alone with her father. Lately all she'd gotten out of him was lectures, mainly about her and Harry.
"Misti, we talked about this. I do not want you getting close to him!"
"Why? Is it because of mom? That's not going to happen! What makes that so painful that you have to keep me from living my life? What is going on? You wouldn't be doing this without a reason. I need to know. Is it something about Harry? Tell me, dammit!" They'd been through this daily in the past few weeks and she still wasn't getting answers.
"Look, just keep things simple. Don't get to close to him. You'll understand sooner or later." Before she could reply he left, with tears in his eyes. They'd have to tell her sooner or later, he just didn't know if he could handle it. He left to go talk to Dumbledore.

Harry, after hearing all the commotion, Harry went down to see if Misti was okay. She was still standing in the same spot she had been, staring at the portrait hole. Her hair was beginning to fall out.
:I just don't know what has gotten into him. It's not like we're doing anything wrong. Just because his marriage didn't turn out perfect doesn't mean he can keep me from having a relationship!" As she rattled on, Harry led her over to the couch. She sat down and laid back in his arms.
"He's just stressed." Harry took her hand in his. She sighed. All she wanted to do was lay there in his arms forever. He kissed her forehead as she drifted off to sleep.

"Sirius, calm down." Once again, Sirius had been ranting and raving for the past 15 minutes.
"Albus, it hasn't even been a couple of months. They're too close. What happens after a year? Think of how close they'll be by then! We only have a few years left. Once we tell her she has to concentrate. She can't have him on her mind! It clouds her judgment. Not only is it risky for her, but we're putting him in danger as well. This won't help!" Dumbledore sighed.
"You can't just forbid her a social life. As much danger as this could put them both in, she's going to need all the comfort and support she can get. This is quite a burden the has been placed before her. She can't go through this alone. Now, we don't know the outcome of this, so as long as their relationship doesn't interfere, let her live her life to the fullest. It may be the only chance she has." Sirius gave in.
"Very well, but if it starts to interfere, it ends, completely. We need to tell her."
"Give it another month. By then everyone will be ready. Severus has to go through this as well. Remember that."
"Yes. Well, good night." With some of the pressure released, Sirius left.
