~Ok, chapter 9. Here we go!~
"AHHHH!!!" A scream rang through the Gryffindor common room. A few days after the previous fight with her father, things had gone back to "normal." Another scream came from the flight of stairs leading to the girls dormitory. Misti came bounding down the stairs, shocking everyone. George didn't have such luck and managed to roll down the stairs after tripping on the top step.

"Your dead!" Misti laughed and bounced around, waiting for George to recover. In her hands was what appeared to be a note, obviously for Angelina. To shocked to avoid George's quick Quidditch reflexes, she was finally pinned to the floor. To George's misfortune, Harry just happened to enter at that very moment.

"Harry! Save me!" She called out in a rather dramatic, damsel-in-distress tone. He laughed, after considering the situation.

"I will save you!" Harry lunged at George.

" Never! She is mine! She has stolen a forbidden treasure!" The three students wrestled on the ground, not noticing the note had been discarded a few feet away. By then the whole Gryffindor common room noticed the amusing conflict. To everyone's surprise, Harry eventually had George pinned. Their act continued on.
" I surrender! Have mercy on a pour soul!" A few students snickered. Harry released him and made his way over to Misti. George grabbed his letter. Harry swept Misti off her feet.

"I have rescued you fair lady!"

"And I thank you good sir." They kissed.

"Oh no! Fluffy ending! Never!" George interrupted, carrying on the act. He began to run after Harry, who still had Misti in his arms. As the three disappeared up stairs, the common room broke into applause. George came back down laughing. He took a bow. Meanwhile, the two victors collapsed at the top of the stairs, exhausted from previous romp-around. Harry broke the silence.

"I say I did quite well, don't you agree." Misti smiled and rolled over next to him.

"Indeed I do." He pulled her into a soft kiss, unfortunately interrupted by George.

"Your fans are waiting." They headed for the bottom of the stairs and made a dramatic entrance.

"Thank you! Thank you! We love you all!" They broke into a movie-ending kiss. Everyone eventually calmed down. Harry and Ron were playing an unusually gruesome game of chess while Misti was talking to George.

"So what was in the note?"

"You mean you didn't read it?"

"I was to busy being tackled." George laughed.

"You know, that was fun. Let's try it again." George tackled her and began to tickle her.

"George! Stop it! I give!" She managed to say between giggles. Harry looked up.

"You're gonna have to keep an eye on those two." Ron mentioned. He gave Harry an unusual look. Harry thought about it for a few minutes, but ignored the suspicion and returned to the game.

The weekend was over, Ron and Hermione were settling their couple issues, and Harry and Misti were busy trying to help them while in class.

"Hermione, I told you I was sorry."

"That doesn't change the fact that you're being an arrogant bastard!" He scowled at the accusation and looked as though he was about to reply but she stopped him.

"Don't even start with me Ronald Weasley. I've had enough of you for one day." She walked off and sat down by Misti while Ron sulked.

"Women, I don't even know what I did!" Sirius entered the class.

"Ok class. Please be seated." Harry pulled Ron into a nearby seat as he was still glaring at Hermione.

"We will be working on a fire curse and how to block them." Ron looked rather pale at this announcement.

"I'm finished!" He squeaked. Sirius began to pair the students up, while Ron prayed to be as far from Hermione as possible. Harry and Misti both noticed this was the one class they were not paired in.

" Misti and Hermione, you'll be working over here." They both smirked at the fact that he had placed her on the opposite side of the room from Harry. Sirius walked away to go assist Neville as he clearly didn't have any clue as to what he was supposed to do. Misti pulled out a piece of parchment and a quill.

Hi, love. Whatcha doing?

She folded up the letter and, making sure her father was occupied, accioed the letter over to Harry. He read the letter, flashed that adorable smile she loved so much, and began to write back.

Nothing. So have you noticed that you're on one side of the room and I'm on the other. What ever shall we do?

The letter came back over her way.

What ever can we do when my father is paranoid and happens to be teaching this class? So what are we doing tonight? The roof again?

She began to send it back again, but the transfer was interrupted by a rather disturbed teacher in the middle of the room. He grabbed the letter and ripped it open. Misti was still trying to register the situation and Harry had a look of pure terror on his face. Sirius skimmed over the letter and, misunderstanding the last part, sent a rather frightening glare over to Misti and Harry. After a few deafening, but silent moments, he set aside his concerns and went back to helping the students. They went back to what they were doing, fearing the end of class. But in spite of their fears, the inevitable happened and Sirius's voice seemed stop time itself.

"Misti, Harry, could you please stay for a few minutes." His voice was stern, like the many times he had lectured her. He threw the letter on the desk.

"Explain." Harry began to speak.

"Sir, we meant nothing of it. If there was any offense I am truly sorry. I---" Sirius motioned for him to be silent. He looked over to Misti.

" I thought we talked about this." He was silent for a few moments, then continued. " So, what's been going on on the roof?" Harry was included this time.

" We simply like to go up there to relax, get away from everyone else. I assure you nothing goes on." Harry looked worried and Sirius didn't look assured. Misti, growing tired of her father's games, spoke up.

" Cool it. Nothing goes on and you really have no concern in any of this so may we leave now." A surge of anger and worry flashed through his eyes, but his face remained emotionless.

"Harry, you may go now. Please give Professor McGonagall my sincere apologies for your tardiness." Harry left, glancing back at Misti and mouthing an apology. Sirius turned to Misti. Stubbornness and rebellion shown in her eyes. She held her head up, without defeat, much like her mother had several years ago. This only proved his job was about to become harder.

"Why can't you just relax? Nothing has happened and nothing will. I'm 15 for god sake!"

"You are still my daughter and I am still your father. I have every concern in all of this. I do not approve of these midnight strolls and I do not want to hear about any more occurring. Do I make myself clear?"

" Father or not, I can handle myself. Last time I checked, I have been for the last 14 years." Emotions and pain ran through every inch of Sirius's body. The shock of the insult lingered as Misti walked out of the class room. She had never mentioned it, let alone held it against him. Guilt surged through him, only to be set aside when students began to enter the classroom, not knowing what to make of the previous conversation.

"How'd it go?" Harry asked as she entered the class. Ron and Hermione had apparently forgotten their issues and were interested in the current matter. McGonagall handed her a rat and proceeded onto Seamus, who was chasing a turkey across the room. They had been working on changing animals into other animals.

" I told him to back off." The tone in her voice indicated that the conversation was over. They spent the most of the class in silence, up until Ron transfigured Hermione's rat into a hummingbird. They spent the rest of class chasing the bird and fighting with each other once more.
