That night, Ally and Annie sat out next to the lake. Ally was huddled into a ball, her arms around her knees. She was wondering what had brought about Draco's love for her twin. She stared out over lake in deep thought. When Harry came out of the house, he was struck by the silence of his sisters.

"What's wrong with you two? You're much quieter than you usually are," he said. He looked from one girl to the other. Ally didn't hear him. She was muttering something Harry couldn't understand. Annie looked at her. Even she didn't understand what her twin was saying. Harry went back in and brought Remus and Oliver back out with him.

"Ally?" Oliver asked.

Ally jerked out of her trance. "What?"

"What were you speaking?" Oliver asked, sitting down next to her.

"Oh, that. It's Goa'uld," she said.

"Goa'uld? Never heard of it."

"And I ain't going to tell you."

"Ouch, that hurt, Ally."

"Oh shut up, Oliver "

"Now, stop it, you two," Remus said. "Ally, what is Goa'uld?"

"Kree " Ally shouted toward the forest, where Aragon had gotten loose. Aragon trotted over to her. She grabbed his lead and mounted. She looped the lead around his neck.

"I'm taking Aragon back to the stable," she said. She took off. When she arrived, the barn door was open and someone was inside. She tethered Aragon and went into the barn.

"Who's in here?" she called. "And what are you doing?" She saw movement in the shadows.

A voice she knew said, "Wondering where you and Annie are."

"Sirius " Ally cried and hugged him. He hugged her back.

"Happy birthday, Ally," he said, "Remus here?"

"Yep, he's back at the house." She led him back. "Annie Look who's here "

"Sirius " Annie screamed, getting up to hug him too. Oliver hung back while everyone greeted him. Ally slipped away and over to Oliver.

"I loved your gift," she said shyly.

" I knew you would," he said, "I thought they'd look best on you."

Ally looked at her family and then did something she knew she'd regret; she kissed Oliver and he kissed back. Annie looked over and saw them. Her jaw dropped. They were kissing She tapped Harry on the shoulder and pointed to her twin. Remus, of course, had seen everything. He walked over to them and tapped Ally on the arm. She looked up at him and blushed furiously. A light breeze swept across the lawn at that moment, blowing Ally's hair into her face. Oliver brushed it back just as Lily and James came over to them. Ally looked down, embarrassed beyond words. As it darkened, Ally started to cry. Oliver held her closer and murmured soothing words in her ear. Ally looked up and saw a figure watching her. She nodded to it and it walked forward. It was Draco Malfoy. Harry, Ron, and Hermione jumped. Ally, however, looked at Draco.

"Tal'mac Ally," she said, " My name is Ally."

"Draco Malfoy," he said, looking at Annie. Annie walked forward.

Annie looked at Draco and looked toward Ally who was moving toward Lily and James.

Lily looked at Ally and jerked her head toward James. Ally gulped and left the warmth of Oliver's arms.

"Ally, you have some explaining to do," James told her. She nodded, eyes lowered.

"It's true, Dad. I do love Oliver," she confessed. James just looked at his daughter.

"He's six years older than you, Ally " he said. Ally nodded. She was wondering what her punishment would be. That night, before bed, wrote this in her diary:

Mum and Dad just looked at me. I could feel their eyes on me. I finally looked up. They looked at me, nothing but happiness showing on their faces. I was so happy I ran back to Oliver and threw my arms around his neck. So ended the greatest day of my life

Ally had never been so happy. She had her whole family around her. Oliver was included in her family now.
