"But you need me." Ashleigh told him.
"I don't need anyone." He said.
"You need your death eaters, you know you do. Otherwise, you wouldn't be where you are now." Ashleigh said in a small voice. She disapparated. She needed to go back to the states, in case someone was following her. She went to the nearest wizarding town, then she flooed to her house.
"Ugh!" She said whacking soot off of her. Dumbledore wasn't going to be too happy she over did it. Pissed him off to the extreme. And now he wanted her out. That was new. She inhaled deep; She needed to search the house. Her kitchen was bare, there were a few spiders and bugs but that was all. So were the living room, study, family room and the bedrooms, everything was still. No one was in the house but her. She was good to go to Grimwald place.

"Ashleigh!" Sirius said as she walked into the kitchen.
"Hey." She said nonchalantly.
"What are you doing back so early?" He asked her.
"I pissed him off too much and he kicked me out." Ashleigh said grabbing a butterbeer.
"What did Dumbledore say?" Sirius asked her. She shrugged. She didn't talk to Dumbledore, she was dreading it, and she didn't want him to be disappointed in her. She would have to go back soon, but for now, she would stay here.
"I didn't see him yet." She stated, the rest of the Order filed into the kitchen, they were all surprised to see her back.
"Ashleigh, Back so soon? It only took you 2 weeks huh? It's a woman's charm I tell you." Charlie said winking at Sirius. She thought about what he said. Two weeks?!?! She was only gone for about a day!
"Sirius, two weeks?" She asked him. He nodded grimly. She felt the bottom of her stomach drop. She felt weird, she felt used, and she felt out of the loop. Dumbledore walked in, his eyes were not twinkling as he saw her. The disappointment was coming.
"Ashleigh, back so soon?" He asked her.
"Yeah, nothing too much happening, just what you already predicted. The Prophecy, he has Avery working for him, and Avery used to work in the Department of Mysteries, so he has that advantage." Ashleigh said thinking back to the scene with Avery. She had cast an Unforgivable curse. If anyone found out she wouldn't be in a lot of trouble. It was against wizarding law to cast and unforgivable curse.
"Yes, yes.... You couldn't stay longer?" he asked her, his eyes were questioning. Everything about him was in his eyes, his emotions, his intelligence, and his confidence. She needed his confidence.
"No, I kind of pissed him off to the extreme. So much that he actually kicked me out." Ashleigh said. Looking down, she was really ashamed of herself. She could have done it if she tried.
"How did you do that? I thought he thought the world of you." Sirius said in a bitter monotone. She took a deep breath.
"Well, I kind of did an unforgivable curse on one of his death eaters." Ashleigh said sheepishly. They were staring at her.
"Which one?" Moody growled.
"Avery." Ashleigh mumbled.
"Ashleigh, Your personal problems should not interfere with your work!" Moody scolded her.
"It wasn't! I was testing Voldermort, to see how far he can be pushed!" Ashleigh yelled back at him. She felt under a lot of pressure. Her hormones were being messed with, because of the potions. She was becoming Bi-polar. She didn't need that right now. At that very moment a tear ran down her face.
"I am not in the condition to be here, in front of people, the potions haven't worn off yet and I am not inn the best mood." Ashleigh said getting up and leaving. She made the long trek up to Sirius' room, yeah, Sirius' room. Not hers. She didn't have a room anymore she didn't have a home. She didn't have a family. 14 years of pent up emotions flooded from her. Her shoulders shook with raging sobs. She threw things against the walls and kicked everything in sight. Her cat ran out of the room looking for shelter. She threw a glass ball at the door just as it opened. Sirius caught it with his right hand. He rolled it in his hand lightly. Like nothing happened. He just stared at her. She looked different to him. Her once perfect eyes were red and puffy, tears escaped them and she was shaking with rage. Everything was taking an emotional toll on her. Her hormones were more than out of whack. The potions wouldn't do this to someone, something else would. She collapsed to the floor, her legs spread out. She leaned against the wall. He walked slowly over to her; he towered over her small form on the ground.
"What's wrong?" He asked her. She wanted a family, a baby; she wanted all of this to be over.
"I want a family, Sirius. I really do. I don't know never mind. I am just very emotional." She said crying. He held her and held her until she stopped crying, until she couldn't any more because all of the tears drained out of her body.
That night they made love, sweet tender love. It was like nothing they ever experienced. They both needed it.
"I don't need anyone." He said.
"You need your death eaters, you know you do. Otherwise, you wouldn't be where you are now." Ashleigh said in a small voice. She disapparated. She needed to go back to the states, in case someone was following her. She went to the nearest wizarding town, then she flooed to her house.
