The Black House
Sirius made sure that Nissa was with them all the time, not wanting to her out of sight for a moment. Jevidah didn't return to the castle until Christmas Eve, the teachers didn't seem bored as though he had told them he was leaving. Of course they weren't bored either way if he came back or not, the only thing which didn't worry them was; was Jevidah going to say anything about that day?
"What if he does say something?" James asked.
"He won't." Nissa told him again.
"Because what he did to you?" Sirius asked; it was the first time he had brought that part of the subject up with her.
Nissa didn't look up at him, as if confirming his worst fears, he tighten his arms around her; none of them could look at her.
"Yes and no." Nissa said finally. "I think there's more going on, he has a lot more to lose then just his job."
"Yes his life." Sirius said.
"Sirius, don't talk like that." Nissa told him. "You don't gain anything by killing someone, infact you lose a part of yourself."
"Did she tell us that he did...you know?" Sirius asked as they got ready for bed.
"I think so, I'm not to sure." James said.
"She did say that she doesn't want you or any of us to do anything." Remus told them.
"How can she expect us to just sit here and do nothing?" Sirius said. "I told her that I would save her from all this, she knew I couldn't she told me so. But I just couldn't..."
Sirius sat down on his bed defeated, James and Remus looked over at him; they didn't know what to do or what too say, what could they to make it better, nothing.
Next morning they woke early as normal, but it wasn't the same they didn't have the same excitement as they used to have as they saw all their presents. They opened them waiting for Nissa to walk in as she had done in their first year, but she didn't. But she had left them all presents.
James opened his first, it was a framed picture of him; he didn't think much of it to start with until he changed into a stag.
Sirius opened his; his picture was in a silver frame. After seeing James' he knew what it was, and waited for his to change; he change into a large bear like dog.
Remus opened a small box, and blushed when he saw what was inside and read the note that went with it.
"What did she give you?" James asked him.
"Oh, it's just... it doesn't matter." Remus said trying not to sound offensive.
Peter opened his last, he wasn't pleased what his picture changed into; a small rat, which she had called him in their second year.
They got dressed after opening all their presents, Sirius was rooting through his pile of paper as though he had lost something; which he thought he had. There had been nothing from his uncle Alphard. They walked down the stairs and saw Nissa sat on the sofa waiting for the four of them.
"Great presents." James told her smiling.
"Thank you." Remus said.
"I'm glad that you like them." Nissa said smiling back at them. "So did you change into anything interesting?"
"What?" Sirius asked.
"Well they show what you can change into, but you have to look in it yourself to see it." Nissa explained. "Even if you aren't learning how to change yourself."
They had Christmas dinner and then went outside into the snow covered grounds, and had a snow ball fight. Which they were all easy target's for Nissa because none of them wanted to get her, Sirius especially but after awhile he gave up trying to hit her and took up chasing her.
"So what's on your mind?" Nissa asked him as they made their way back up to the castle to dry off before tea.
"What do you mean?" Sirius asked her surprised at the question, Nissa just looked at him. "My uncle he didn't send anything, he normally sends me something even if it's just a letter saying hi and asking if I'm alright, but never nothing before."
"The weather was bad last night; maybe the owl couldn't get through." Nissa suggested.
"No, it would get through no matter what." Sirius told her.
"Then what, he wouldn't have forgotten you. It come just wait." Nissa told him reassuringly, but he didn't want to know.
Christmas was over and Sirius still hadn't received a letter from his uncle, no matter what Nissa said to him he wouldn't listen, he never told his friends about his uncle not writing he didn't want to look stupid in front of them.
Everyone would be back at the school, no one would ever know what happened that Saturday; and everyone would just think that Sirius and Nissa had fallen out with one another by the way he was acting towards. Though he didn't mean to and she knew it, that's why she didn't give up on him like he didn't give up on her.
"You should have come to stay with me." Severus told her Monday morning in Potion's. "It would have been a lot better then staying with those four dung beetles who think they're all that."
"Severus. It was fine, and they're not dung beetles." Nissa told him.
"You can't tell me that you like them?" Severus asked a little louder then he had meant to.
Everyone was listening now; Professor Jevidah had only spent five minutes in the classroom all lesson with them not that anyone cared.
"And if I do?" Nissa asked not answering his question.
"Then you've become one of those stupid wannerbes." Severus told her.
"You know you're quit sweat, normally I would say that I wouldn't tell anyone but considering their listening to what we're saying there's no point really." Nissa said smiling at him.
Severus didn't say anything as she continued to smile at him.
"I don't get it." Sirius said.
"I think he's jealous." Lily whispered.
The four of them burst out laughing, even though both Nissa and Lily frown at them for doing so.
Next morning the post arrived as normal, but not so; all the Black's received a letter. Sirius opened his letter he never liked getting letter's from his mother.
Sirius,
Over Christmas Uncle Alphard died, the funnel will be held in two days. Dumbledore has already agreed that you can come home.
Sirius didn't read anymore, the hearts were so heartless he screwed up the letter in his hand and looked over at the Slytherin table to his brother and cousin's; none of them seemed as bored as he was.
"Bad news Sirius?" James asked.
"I've got to go home." Sirius answered, they all looked at him they hadn't been expecting that.
"What do you mean go home?" James asked him.
"You can't." Remus said.
"Dumbledore has already said that its alright." Sirius told them.
"What's happened, why do you have to go home?" Nissa asked him.
He just looked at her and then turned back to James, he stood up to leave. They quickly followed him, Nissa wanted to follow as well but Lily stopped her.
Nissa somehow managed to get away from Lily and find Sirius on his own, it had taken her all day but she had finally done it. She reached out and touched his shoulder but he moved away from her.
"I want to be on my own." Sirius told her.
Nissa didn't leave, but sat in the corner getting a book off the shelf. Sirius didn't ask her to leave he just stood there looking out of the window. He stood there and she sat there for about fifteen minutes before he said anything.
"He died!" Sirius shouted suddenly making Nissa jump. "The only person in my family... and he left me."
Nissa put the book down and got up, she stood next to him not touching him; just being there for him.
"I'm here if you need to talk." Nissa told him as she stepped back knowing that he needed time to himself.
"You won't be there." Sirius said. "It isn't like you can come with me."
"I will though, but no not in that way." Nissa told him.
Sirius turned round. "Come with me, you know my family, well kind of. But that doesn't matter, they let you go, it's a funnel."
Nissa looked at him, she wasn't sure what to think or what to say to him, but she did what to be there for him; she nodded. "I'll ask McGonagall."
He didn't smiled or do anything to this he just turned back round and continued to stare out of the window; she left him there and went to find McGonagall.
When Sirius finally came back to Gryffindor tower, he sat next to James and pretended that there was nothing wrong. He told them that he was leaving in the morning, early.
He didn't pack his truck he didn't see the point, and he didn't even think about taking his work. He went down to the common room without waking any of them up, Nissa was already down there waiting for him with her school bag with clothes in it.
He looked at her surprised to even see her there; she smiled at him as he walked over.
"Do you still want me to come with you?" Nissa asked him.
Sirius looked at her and nodded slightly, they walked out together and down to the entrance hall were his brother and cousins were already waiting.
"She's coming great." Regulus said brightly.
"It'll be alright to have a bit of company, funnels are so boring." Bellatrix said.
Sirius reached for his wand but Nissa stopped him and held his hand which he tried to take out of hers but she wouldn't let him. Dumbledore walked down with them all to the gates and waited until the Nightbus arrived.
"There are no words which I can say to any of you, so I won't say any only that I am thinking of you all and you are not alone." Dumbledore told them then turned and walked back up to the castle.
They arrived outside of the house in London, Sirius stood there while the others went in, Nissa waited with him until he was ready to go inside. The front door opened and his mother came out.
"What do you think you're doing, get in here." She shouted at him. "Oh, you've brought Nissa. Lovely why don't you come in, we'll find room for you."
Nissa didn't go in she stood by Sirius; he looked up at his mother and then slowly walked up the step's with Nissa slightly behind him. His mother pushed him in the house and grabbed hold of Nissa and took her downstairs into the kitchen to show her to the rest of the family.
"Why did you say that she was coming?" Mrs Black asked Bellatrix.
"I didn't know until she was stood there in the entrance hall." Bellatrix told her.
"Why don't you show her to her room, and then come back down for something to eat." Mrs Black told her.
Bellatrix lead Nissa upstairs, Sirius had disappeared. So Nissa was to spend the day with his family until he showed himself. But she didn't see him until the morning when they left for the funnel, he wouldn't talk to any of them; Nissa stood with him the whole time.
"What was the point; he wasn't even a real Black." Bellatrix said as she walked back into the house.
Sirius lost it, everything he had been holding in just exploded.
"You don't like him because he was a decent guy, he was worth more then the lot of ya." Sirius shouted at her. "Who cares that he wasn't like the rest of ya, personally I'm glad that he wasn't and that I'm not either. Who the hell would want to belong to a lot of stuck up...stuck up bastards, who think their better then everyone else; like they should be royalty or something."
Sirius stormed off before anyone could say anything, Nissa looked at them all; Bellatrix stopped Nissa from going up after him but she pulled her arm away and went after him.
"Sirius wait." Nissa said.
"What so you can feel sorry for me?" Sirius shot at her.
"No, why would I feel sorry for you?" Nissa asked. "I don't feel sorry for myself, and wouldn't want you too either, so why would I feel sorry for you; because I know knowing myself that you wouldn't want that."
"Don't, don't do that." Sirius said. "Just leave me be."
"Is that what you really want because I will?" Nissa asked him.
"Yes." Sirius shot at her.
Nissa smiled slightly at him. "I'll be down stairs if you want to talk." Then she turned and left.
Sirius stormed in his bedroom and slammed his door shut, furies that she understood him to much; he stomped around his bedroom for a while. Until finally he couldn't even walk anymore, he went across to his bathroom to have a shower; to try and wash everything away.
Sirius walked back into his bedroom just as Regulus came up and slammed the door in his face. He went into his own bedroom and left his door open and watched Nissa come up the stair's, and walk over to the bathroom.
He knocked on the door, she opened it slightly he pushed on it to open a little more. Which she opened it completely making him fall onto the floor.
"Yes?" Nissa asked; he just smiled at her.
She stepped over him but he quickly and clumsily got to his feet, he grabbed hold of her arm not wanting her to leave; but she pulled away for him and started to back up against the wall. She hit something hard and tried to find the door knob remembering that there should be a door there, she moved along and found it; she quickly found it and fall into the room.
"Lock!" Nissa ordered, and then turned around Sirius was stood there with only a towel around him dipping wet; he almost dropped the towel when he saw her stood there. "I'm sorry, I didn't realise, I'm sorry." Nissa mumbled as she quickly turned back round.
Sirius was still shocked at her bursting into his room, he smiled to himself he had never seen her embarrassed before she had gone so red. He tied the towel around his waist and walked slowly over to her.
"So who were you hiding from?" Sirius asked her.
Nissa still didn't turn around; he was stood so close to her that if she had turned round she would kiss him.
"Your brother." Nissa answered him. "I should go, I should leave, why aren't I leaving."
"Well for one, I think you locked the door when you came in, and another; my brother might be still out there." Sirius said quit pleasantly, he stepped back as she turned slowly around.
"I'm sorry, I didn't realise this was your room, and that were you, you are." Nissa said.
"Wet from the shower and naked part the towel." Sirius said smiling at her.
Nissa couldn't stand being so close to him, she side stepped around him farer into his bedroom; he turned round and watched her.
"You can stay." Sirius said suddenly, making Nissa stop and face him.
"What?" Nissa said. "No, I shouldn't."
"Why not? You said that you would stay with me, and that you were here if I needed you." Sirius told her. "I need you."
Nissa looked at him. "Your not really dressed for talking, and I'm not going to dry you off."
Sirius laughed at her. "Well I'm not dressed that's the whole point, see just a towel."
Nissa shock her head and started to walk back to the door, but he stepped in her and again when she tried to past him.
"You're leaving me?" Sirius asked her smiling.
"I'll come back when your dressed if you still want to talk." Nissa told him, looking him straight in the face and trying not to look at the rest of him which still had droplets of water.
"What would be the point of that?" Sirius asked still smiling.
"Sirius, I..." Nissa said and stepped round him, but he grabbed her hand and pulled her back and kissed her passionately. She stumbled back into the door still kissing him; she moved her hands up in his soft wet chest and then pushed him back. "I can't. We can't. I've got to go."
She reached for the door handle but he rested against the door so she couldn't leave.
"Sirius... move." Nissa told him, he just smiled at her.
"Why can't you?" Sirius asked her.
"What?" Nissa said, he didn't believe where this was going she had come in here to escape; but what was she really running from?
"I told you I would never hurt you, why are you running away from me?" Sirius asked.
"I'm not running, I don't run." Nissa told him and then looked away before looking back at him. "You might not hurt me, but I could hurt you."
"Like what you did to Infidus, I don't think so." Sirius said. "You are running away though."
Nissa backed away from him shocking her head, she turned round Sirius smiled at her and then walked over to her and stood behind her.
"You said that you don't remember that night out in the forest, but I do." Sirius whispered, as he slowly ran his finger down her arm. "I remember everything about that night, your eyes, your touch, how you felt in my arms as you slept; and the sound of contentment you made being with me, you purred like a kitten."
"No." Nissa whispered.
"Yes." Sirius whispered back to her, as he led forward to kiss her softly on the neck she tilted her head to the other side before his lips had even touched her skin.
He held her arms as he kissed her willingly, titling her head back so he could kiss her upon the lips, his soft lips pursing against hers warming her in away she didn't image he could. She turned round and wrapped her arms around him pulling tightly into her, which he complied and kissing her deeply.
He moved his hands slowly down her back as he stepped forward and her back, he had edged her over to the bed which she legs hit against; she moved her hands round to his chest and pushed him away slightly. She smiled at him as she turned them around so that it was him who had his back against the bed, he smiled at her as she pushed him down onto the bed and she stood over him.
She unfastened her robe and slipped it off of her shoulders letting fall to the floor, underneath she was wearing a black dress which rapped over and tied at her side. She stepped a little closer her heart pounding in her chest as was his, he reached out and pulled her into his arm's; he kissed her as he lead back pulling her down slowly on top of him.
She broke apart from his kiss and pushed herself up, shocking her head.
"I can't I'm sorry." Nissa told him as she back way across the room right into his desk.
Sirius sat up and looked at her. "So what now, you're going to say that you should leave again, and then stay? If you wanted to leave why haven't you, already?"
Nissa looked at him and then at the door, realising that he was right; she looked back over at him and she still haven't moved he was smiling at her now. Sirius got to his feet and walked over to her still smiling, he stopped right in front of her.
Her hands gripped the edge of the table like crawls holding on for dear life, he stepped a little closer making it so that their bodies were pressed against one another; he grabbed hold of her waist and pulled her into him and kissed her before lifting her onto the table.
"Stop fighting." Sirius whispered as he kissed her cheek and nudged her legs open with his own, he could feel her skin under his lips warming to his every touch.
(A/N: - Sorry but I'm have to leave that bit there, if I want to keep it at the same rating.)
Sirius woke with a start, everything what had happened rushed back at him like a wave; he closed his eyes hoping that he hadn't... but he knew he had he could feel her hand on his chest and her head resting on his chest. Her skin was still hot to the touch, and her hair had changed back to red, he opened his eyes and softly lifted her arm off his chest and moved out from under her; as he stood he suddenly felt cold.
Nissa turned over and pulled the blanket up close round her, he looked down at her and then flops on the end of the bed.
"I'm sorry." Sirius whispered, he reached out and stroke her arm warming his hand; she grabbed his hand suddenly surprising him because he had thought she was asleep. And she still was, she pulled his arm over her's pulling back into the bed; he moved as carefully as he could and wrapped his arms around her.
He was warm again, everything was alright again; she moved into his body as he closed his eyes, and told himself 'I'll just lay here for a little while and then I'll get up.'
He slowly woke with his arms still around her, but she had turned again so that his head was resting on her shoulder; he pulled his arm out from under her and got out of bed.
"I went back to sleep." Sirius whispered to himself, he looked around the room it was still dark but the clock said that it was seven; he quickly dressed.
Nissa stirred she stretch like an animal and pulled the sheets close to her as she opened her eyes, they fell on Sirius.
"I'm sorry." Sirius told her.
"I was expecting good morning." Nissa told him.
"I shouldn't have done what I did, I'm sorry." Sirius said. "This makes me worst then Jevidah, because you trusted me; and I."
Nissa sat up holding the blanket around her. "Oh. Dress!"
"What?" Sirius asked.
Her dress disappeared off the floor and then reappeared on her, she throw back the blanket and got out of bed fully dressed.
"Are you supposed to do that?" Sirius asked her, and then twisted his back it still hurt and he couldn't reach round to put anything on it.
"I should leave; we don't want your family knowing that I spent the night here." Nissa told him.
"Right." Sirius said. "Nissa wait, I am sorry. I don't know what I was thinking, I was angry and upset, and I don't know."
Nissa opened his door and without looking back at him. "It's alright. Your back though might take a while to heal." Then she walked out and closed the door behind her.
She went back to her room and changed into clean clothes, fighting back the tears; she couldn't cry.
They both went down for breakfast, Sirius sat on his own while Bellatrix sat with Nissa.
"So why have you gone back to red?" Bellatrix asked her. "I thought the other colour was much better."
"I just wanted to go back to one of my natural colours." Nissa told her.
"One of them?" Bellatrix asked.
"Oh right, there's red and then brown with red tints, it depends on the mood I'm in." Nissa explained.
After breakfast they went back to school, Sirius never talked to her he never even looked at her.
Sirius made sure that Nissa was with them all the time, not wanting to her out of sight for a moment. Jevidah didn't return to the castle until Christmas Eve, the teachers didn't seem bored as though he had told them he was leaving. Of course they weren't bored either way if he came back or not, the only thing which didn't worry them was; was Jevidah going to say anything about that day?
"What if he does say something?" James asked.
"He won't." Nissa told him again.
"Because what he did to you?" Sirius asked; it was the first time he had brought that part of the subject up with her.
Nissa didn't look up at him, as if confirming his worst fears, he tighten his arms around her; none of them could look at her.
"Yes and no." Nissa said finally. "I think there's more going on, he has a lot more to lose then just his job."
"Yes his life." Sirius said.
"Sirius, don't talk like that." Nissa told him. "You don't gain anything by killing someone, infact you lose a part of yourself."
"Did she tell us that he did...you know?" Sirius asked as they got ready for bed.
"I think so, I'm not to sure." James said.
"She did say that she doesn't want you or any of us to do anything." Remus told them.
"How can she expect us to just sit here and do nothing?" Sirius said. "I told her that I would save her from all this, she knew I couldn't she told me so. But I just couldn't..."
Sirius sat down on his bed defeated, James and Remus looked over at him; they didn't know what to do or what too say, what could they to make it better, nothing.

They got dressed after opening all their presents, Sirius was rooting through his pile of paper as though he had lost something; which he thought he had. There had been nothing from his uncle Alphard. They walked down the stairs and saw Nissa sat on the sofa waiting for the four of them.
"Great presents." James told her smiling.
"Thank you." Remus said.
"I'm glad that you like them." Nissa said smiling back at them. "So did you change into anything interesting?"
"What?" Sirius asked.
"Well they show what you can change into, but you have to look in it yourself to see it." Nissa explained. "Even if you aren't learning how to change yourself."

"What was the point; he wasn't even a real Black." Bellatrix said as she walked back into the house.
Sirius lost it, everything he had been holding in just exploded.
"You don't like him because he was a decent guy, he was worth more then the lot of ya." Sirius shouted at her. "Who cares that he wasn't like the rest of ya, personally I'm glad that he wasn't and that I'm not either. Who the hell would want to belong to a lot of stuck up...stuck up bastards, who think their better then everyone else; like they should be royalty or something."
Sirius stormed off before anyone could say anything, Nissa looked at them all; Bellatrix stopped Nissa from going up after him but she pulled her arm away and went after him.
"Sirius wait." Nissa said.
"What so you can feel sorry for me?" Sirius shot at her.
"No, why would I feel sorry for you?" Nissa asked. "I don't feel sorry for myself, and wouldn't want you too either, so why would I feel sorry for you; because I know knowing myself that you wouldn't want that."
"Don't, don't do that." Sirius said. "Just leave me be."
"Is that what you really want because I will?" Nissa asked him.
"Yes." Sirius shot at her.
Nissa smiled slightly at him. "I'll be down stairs if you want to talk." Then she turned and left.
Sirius stormed in his bedroom and slammed his door shut, furies that she understood him to much; he stomped around his bedroom for a while. Until finally he couldn't even walk anymore, he went across to his bathroom to have a shower; to try and wash everything away.
Sirius walked back into his bedroom just as Regulus came up and slammed the door in his face. He went into his own bedroom and left his door open and watched Nissa come up the stair's, and walk over to the bathroom.
He knocked on the door, she opened it slightly he pushed on it to open a little more. Which she opened it completely making him fall onto the floor.
"Yes?" Nissa asked; he just smiled at her.
She stepped over him but he quickly and clumsily got to his feet, he grabbed hold of her arm not wanting her to leave; but she pulled away for him and started to back up against the wall. She hit something hard and tried to find the door knob remembering that there should be a door there, she moved along and found it; she quickly found it and fall into the room.
"Lock!" Nissa ordered, and then turned around Sirius was stood there with only a towel around him dipping wet; he almost dropped the towel when he saw her stood there. "I'm sorry, I didn't realise, I'm sorry." Nissa mumbled as she quickly turned back round.
Sirius was still shocked at her bursting into his room, he smiled to himself he had never seen her embarrassed before she had gone so red. He tied the towel around his waist and walked slowly over to her.
"So who were you hiding from?" Sirius asked her.
Nissa still didn't turn around; he was stood so close to her that if she had turned round she would kiss him.
"Your brother." Nissa answered him. "I should go, I should leave, why aren't I leaving."
"Well for one, I think you locked the door when you came in, and another; my brother might be still out there." Sirius said quit pleasantly, he stepped back as she turned slowly around.
"I'm sorry, I didn't realise this was your room, and that were you, you are." Nissa said.
"Wet from the shower and naked part the towel." Sirius said smiling at her.
Nissa couldn't stand being so close to him, she side stepped around him farer into his bedroom; he turned round and watched her.
"You can stay." Sirius said suddenly, making Nissa stop and face him.
"What?" Nissa said. "No, I shouldn't."
"Why not? You said that you would stay with me, and that you were here if I needed you." Sirius told her. "I need you."
Nissa looked at him. "Your not really dressed for talking, and I'm not going to dry you off."
Sirius laughed at her. "Well I'm not dressed that's the whole point, see just a towel."
Nissa shock her head and started to walk back to the door, but he stepped in her and again when she tried to past him.
"You're leaving me?" Sirius asked her smiling.
"I'll come back when your dressed if you still want to talk." Nissa told him, looking him straight in the face and trying not to look at the rest of him which still had droplets of water.
"What would be the point of that?" Sirius asked still smiling.
"Sirius, I..." Nissa said and stepped round him, but he grabbed her hand and pulled her back and kissed her passionately. She stumbled back into the door still kissing him; she moved her hands up in his soft wet chest and then pushed him back. "I can't. We can't. I've got to go."
She reached for the door handle but he rested against the door so she couldn't leave.
"Sirius... move." Nissa told him, he just smiled at her.
"Why can't you?" Sirius asked her.
"What?" Nissa said, he didn't believe where this was going she had come in here to escape; but what was she really running from?
"I told you I would never hurt you, why are you running away from me?" Sirius asked.
"I'm not running, I don't run." Nissa told him and then looked away before looking back at him. "You might not hurt me, but I could hurt you."
"Like what you did to Infidus, I don't think so." Sirius said. "You are running away though."
Nissa backed away from him shocking her head, she turned round Sirius smiled at her and then walked over to her and stood behind her.
"You said that you don't remember that night out in the forest, but I do." Sirius whispered, as he slowly ran his finger down her arm. "I remember everything about that night, your eyes, your touch, how you felt in my arms as you slept; and the sound of contentment you made being with me, you purred like a kitten."
"No." Nissa whispered.
"Yes." Sirius whispered back to her, as he led forward to kiss her softly on the neck she tilted her head to the other side before his lips had even touched her skin.
He held her arms as he kissed her willingly, titling her head back so he could kiss her upon the lips, his soft lips pursing against hers warming her in away she didn't image he could. She turned round and wrapped her arms around him pulling tightly into her, which he complied and kissing her deeply.
He moved his hands slowly down her back as he stepped forward and her back, he had edged her over to the bed which she legs hit against; she moved her hands round to his chest and pushed him away slightly. She smiled at him as she turned them around so that it was him who had his back against the bed, he smiled at her as she pushed him down onto the bed and she stood over him.
She unfastened her robe and slipped it off of her shoulders letting fall to the floor, underneath she was wearing a black dress which rapped over and tied at her side. She stepped a little closer her heart pounding in her chest as was his, he reached out and pulled her into his arm's; he kissed her as he lead back pulling her down slowly on top of him.
She broke apart from his kiss and pushed herself up, shocking her head.
"I can't I'm sorry." Nissa told him as she back way across the room right into his desk.
Sirius sat up and looked at her. "So what now, you're going to say that you should leave again, and then stay? If you wanted to leave why haven't you, already?"
Nissa looked at him and then at the door, realising that he was right; she looked back over at him and she still haven't moved he was smiling at her now. Sirius got to his feet and walked over to her still smiling, he stopped right in front of her.
Her hands gripped the edge of the table like crawls holding on for dear life, he stepped a little closer making it so that their bodies were pressed against one another; he grabbed hold of her waist and pulled her into him and kissed her before lifting her onto the table.
"Stop fighting." Sirius whispered as he kissed her cheek and nudged her legs open with his own, he could feel her skin under his lips warming to his every touch.
(A/N: - Sorry but I'm have to leave that bit there, if I want to keep it at the same rating.)
Sirius woke with a start, everything what had happened rushed back at him like a wave; he closed his eyes hoping that he hadn't... but he knew he had he could feel her hand on his chest and her head resting on his chest. Her skin was still hot to the touch, and her hair had changed back to red, he opened his eyes and softly lifted her arm off his chest and moved out from under her; as he stood he suddenly felt cold.
Nissa turned over and pulled the blanket up close round her, he looked down at her and then flops on the end of the bed.
"I'm sorry." Sirius whispered, he reached out and stroke her arm warming his hand; she grabbed his hand suddenly surprising him because he had thought she was asleep. And she still was, she pulled his arm over her's pulling back into the bed; he moved as carefully as he could and wrapped his arms around her.
He was warm again, everything was alright again; she moved into his body as he closed his eyes, and told himself 'I'll just lay here for a little while and then I'll get up.'
He slowly woke with his arms still around her, but she had turned again so that his head was resting on her shoulder; he pulled his arm out from under her and got out of bed.
"I went back to sleep." Sirius whispered to himself, he looked around the room it was still dark but the clock said that it was seven; he quickly dressed.
Nissa stirred she stretch like an animal and pulled the sheets close to her as she opened her eyes, they fell on Sirius.
"I'm sorry." Sirius told her.
"I was expecting good morning." Nissa told him.
"I shouldn't have done what I did, I'm sorry." Sirius said. "This makes me worst then Jevidah, because you trusted me; and I."
Nissa sat up holding the blanket around her. "Oh. Dress!"
"What?" Sirius asked.
Her dress disappeared off the floor and then reappeared on her, she throw back the blanket and got out of bed fully dressed.
"Are you supposed to do that?" Sirius asked her, and then twisted his back it still hurt and he couldn't reach round to put anything on it.
"I should leave; we don't want your family knowing that I spent the night here." Nissa told him.
"Right." Sirius said. "Nissa wait, I am sorry. I don't know what I was thinking, I was angry and upset, and I don't know."
Nissa opened his door and without looking back at him. "It's alright. Your back though might take a while to heal." Then she walked out and closed the door behind her.
She went back to her room and changed into clean clothes, fighting back the tears; she couldn't cry.
They both went down for breakfast, Sirius sat on his own while Bellatrix sat with Nissa.
"So why have you gone back to red?" Bellatrix asked her. "I thought the other colour was much better."
"I just wanted to go back to one of my natural colours." Nissa told her.
"One of them?" Bellatrix asked.
"Oh right, there's red and then brown with red tints, it depends on the mood I'm in." Nissa explained.
After breakfast they went back to school, Sirius never talked to her he never even looked at her.
