The Order of the Phoenix

Remus and Peter had gone ahead to the meeting; Sirius had agreed to wait for Bella and Nissa. James and Lily were still on their Honey Moon, but they were also doing something else which hopefully they would find out tonight if Bella and Nissa ever decide to show up so that they could go to the meeting.

Sirius was making himself a sandwich in the kitchen waiting for them, they should have been there over an hour ago; he was starting to get worried about them, but he knew that Nissa was late from work just like he was sometimes.

"Sirius!" Bella shouted from the living room. "Are you still here?"

Sirius near enough ran into the living to see them both, but Bella was alone; she smiled at him pleased to see that he was still there.

"I'm glad that your still here, I thought I missed you." Bella told him. "So where's Nissa?"

"Sirius stared at her. "What do you mean; the two of you were coming back here together?"

"What, yes that how it was to start with but she said that she would meet us here; because she had a few thing's to take care of." Bella told him. "Was it wrong for me to come straight here?"

"No, of course not; it's just that Nissa isn't here yet." Sirius told her. "Why don't you go ahead without me, and we'll meet you there later."

"If you're sure then, I'll see ya later." Bella said and apperated out.

Sirius stood there thinking where she could be, he went to the Auror's department but she wasn't there; and quickly left before he was questioned about checking up on her. He went to her other shop's wondering if something had happened there, but there was no sign of her; and he was running out of ideas where she could be.

Bella walked into the large room, full of people most see knew but there were a few she didn't; she walked straight over to Remus and Peter.

"Hi, we were wondering where you lot got too; where's Sirius and Nissa?" Remus asked.

"Well, we don't know where Nissa is; and I think that Sirius has gone looking for her." Bella told him as calmly as she could, and then said a little louder then she had meant too. "What if something has happened to her?"

Those nearest to them turned round looking quit concerned even though they didn't know who she was talking about, but anyone missing nowadays was something to be worried about. Dumbledore walked over to them with Alistair Moody, who was an Auror.

"Is there something wrong?" Dumbledore asked them.

"Yes sir, its Nissa and Sirius." Bella answered. "Well Sirius is alright, but we haven't seen her and she never met up with us; and Sirius went to look for her."

Alistair looked thoughtfully trying to remember who they were. "Tiania and Black. Well she isn't that bad, a little full of herself if you ask my opinion."

"I'm sure that the two of them will be fine." Dumbledore reassured her.

"And so is Black, think that he's god gift to women; maybe because he has that lovely Tiania on his arm." Moody went on. "She's pretty but that's about all she has going for her, unless she has some hided talent I don't know about."

Dumbledore was just about to say something when they heard voices from outside and were getting closer.

Sirius had his arm around her shoulder holding her up while she tried to get out from under him to walk on her own, but every time she tried she almost fell to the ground but she didn't want to give up. Her long hair was tied back the purple strips had turned blue, and didn't look as good with the pinkish red. The left side of her face was bleeding with a deep cut down it, and she had several cuts hear and near all over her body as though she had been fighting with a sword against someone.

"I'm fine." Nissa told him again.

"No your not, look at you." Sirius told her pulling her up. "What the hell were you thinking?"

Sirius kicked open the door, the light shun on them as they walked in with everyone staring at them; Remus ran over and grabbed Nissa's over side to help her over to their seats.

"I'm fine; I don't need all this help." Nissa told the two of them.

"She's been like this since I found her." Sirius told Remus ignoring Nissa as he helped her into her seat. "It was Infidus, but I haven't a clue what the hell they had been doing."

Nissa tried to stand up but both Sirius and Remus pushed her back down into her seat, and sat down on either side of her so that she couldn't escape; everyone else started to take their seats now that they were all there.

"See nothing special, fresh out of school and thinks that she got all the answers." Moody told Dumbledore as they sat down.

"Will you just sit down." Sirius told her again. "You're hurt you should be resting, not wanting to go straight back out there to be killed."

"I don't want to go back out there to be killed." Nissa told him. "And I've had worst."

"So what, you were fighting with swords; I'm sure that we still duel with our wands unless someone has changed the rules and forgotten to tell me." Sirius said.

"It's called a saber, and I can handle myself." Nissa told him. "And your lot are still using wands."

This time Nissa got up, and both Sirius' and Remus' hands fell straight through her and onto the chair, she walked straight through the table as if she was a ghost that still looked solid. Everyone stared at her; she turned round when she had picked up the candle off the side board. She then picked up and empty goblet and lowered the flame into it, and liquid started to form in it; a liquid of fire. She put the candle back which was still lit and drunk the liquid as she walked back to her seat; with still everyone watching her.

She sat back down and finished her drink, as she placed the empty goblet on the table her cuts seemed to be healing.

"I feel a lot better now." Nissa announced. "Though I have had better to drink, the real stuff is so much better."

"Well, I guest she can act as though she something else; because she is." Moody said. "What is she?"

"A woman of many mysteries." Dumbledore said. "So, we're all here now; we should start the meeting. I call the meeting of the Order of the Phoenix open."

"I want to know how she did that." The man facing Sirius announced.

"I healed myself." Nissa said. "That is all you need know."

"Really, if you have some sort of power that can help us then why don't you let us in on it." He told her, a couple of other people agreed with him.

"You already know what you need to know about magic." Nissa told him calmly. "I'm not here to teach you about magic."

"Your just a little girl, what could you know that we don't?" The woman next to him asked. "Well part the healing thing you just did."

Nissa smiled at her. "I'm just a little harmless girl am I? Well if you think that I have nothing to offer, then I should just leave shouldn't I. Though before I go, Dumbledore; you might want to give up ille imber or at least move it to a safer place."

"How did you even know I had that?" Dumbledore asked smiling slightly his eyes sparkling at her. "No one knows that I had that."

"Some one always knows." Nissa said as she stood up. "I have things to do. I hope all goes well; and if you need my help I'm always here, well as long as I am here you know what I mean."

And she disappeared.

"Good, now back to the meeting." The man said. "Well now that the show off as gone, lets get down to the real problem."

"You shouldn't have dismissed her so quickly; she isn't what she appears to be." Dumbledore told them.

After that not much was said about Nissa, but it was still there hanging in the air around them; and Sirius glared at anyone who dared look at him after they had kicked her out; after everything she had done to keep them safe and this was how they repaid her.

After the meeting was over everyone started to leave, but Sirius, Remus, Peter and Bella stayed to talk with Dumbledore and Moody. Bella almost screamed when Nissa appeared in her seat in-between Sirius and Remus.

"I've been to better meeting's though normally if I get kicked out, it's normally at least half way through and not at the start." Nissa said sounding quit pleasant considering what had happened. "And the other normally put up with me because of what I could do, or they were afraid of me; either way it worked."

"I don't see how anyone could be afraid of you, you don't really look fettering." Moody told her.

Nissa smiled at him, but Dumbledore held up his hand. "Maybe another time. So how are James and Lily, did everything go alright?"

"Yes of course, their back at the house unpacking." Nissa answered. "We can go around for tea if we want, they invited us all."

They left the order and went to Godric Hollow, Sirius was still annoyed and wanted Nissa to be as well; but she wasn't and that annoyed him even more.

"Sirius I just don't see the pint in getting myself so worked up, I don't care what they think of me." Nissa told him as she sat down with Bella.

"Well I do, they shouldn't have done what they did." Sirius told her.

"Why not?" Nissa asked him.

"What?" Sirius asked taken back by the question.

"Their right, I know a lot more then I'm letting on." Nissa told him. "This is what I do, I protect people; but here I can't not like I should be able to do."

"You should remember to protect yourself as well." Sirius told her.

Nissa stood up. "They always come first, the people the greater good; one life is nothing compared to thousands."

"You're the only one that matters don't you feel the same way towards me?" Sirius demanded.

Everyone was backing out of the room, not wanting to witness them having an argument not that they haven't seen them before but this was different.

"Of course I care about you; I wouldn't be with you if I didn't." Nissa told him shocking her head because she was getting quit hot again, her temperature had been all over the place lately. "But...I can't explain...I was just brought up differently."

"Oh right yeah, this other place that you keep bringing up." Sirius shouted at her. "Sometimes I don't even think it's real, that you just hide behind it making up excesses so you don't have to live."

Nissa's hair had turned flame red and her hands were flexing in out she looked ready to punch or hit him, but she managed to control herself though for how much longer she didn't know.

"I had life, you have know idea what I had to give up; and now I'm here and have to put with all this, you have no idea." Nissa shot at him.

"That's because you won't let me." Sirius shot back. "And if it was that great there, way the hell don't you go back to where ever it is you came from!"

That was it Nissa lost it she punched on him sending him flying and hitting the ground hard with her on top of him, the living room disappeared around them and they were back in her flat; Sirius tried to get out from under her but she was too strong for him.

"I can't get back, don't you think I would have left years ago if I could have." Nissa near enough whispered, holding his hands tightly in hers. "You have no idea, what you're asking of me to let you in."

Sirius struggled underneath her, his hands burning in hers but it wasn't painful it was odd and seemed to be taken over his senses. Nissa let go of him suddenly when she felt him tightening his grip, she suddenly realised what she was doing. She was still sat on him as he looked up at her trying to grab her hands, she pushed him back down as she stood; but he grabbed hold of her pulling her back down to the ground.

"I know you felt that as well." Sirius told her as he pressed her against the bottom of the sofa. "Just let go."

"I can't." Nissa said turning away from him, she was burning being so close to him that she just wanted to give in to him.

"You said that last time, the first remember." Sirius told her.

"That was nothing." Nissa whispered, she turned to face him and took his hands in hers.

She kissed him pulling him closer, he was so close he was almost inside her; infact he was; their bodies had become one. They were connecting in a way he had never ever imagined, his senses were completely out of control as he felt his hands touch her without even touching and kissed her with his lips but they were his lips. He had known she could connect their minds so that they could talk, but nothing like this; if he were to live forever he would remember this forever and know that no one could ever make him feel like she did.

Sirius woke up the following afternoon in his bed, he had no idea how he had gotten there; but he didn't care as he ran his finger down Nissa's arm and then pulled her closer.

She opened her eyes and looked up at him, he was smiling at her.

"Well, we should fight like that more often if we make up like that." Sirius told her.

Nissa smiled slightly back at him. "You don't mind then, what we did; what I did?"

"Of course not, that was out of this world." Sirius told her. "Though I did see a few strange things, I think they were your dreams; sorry I don't think I was meant to see them was I. Anyway, when do we do that again?"

Nissa sat up pulling the covers around her; Sirius sat up and wrapped his arms round her waist.

"You can't be pushing me away, not after that." Sirius said.

Nissa turned and kissed him. "No not pushing you away, but it does mean..."

"Then you finally took me as your mate, great; so when's our next round." Sirius said smiling at her; she couldn't help but smile back at him.

***
Sirius sat smiling next to James in the Order; everyone thought it was quit strange considering that they all knew that he had had a big argument with Nissa and that Dumbledore was telling them of a dangerous assignment.

"Mr Black can you please take this seriously, if not you can leave." Moody told him.

"Sorry." Sirius said, but they could still see that he was trying to smile.

After the meeting was over, James kept Sirius behind so that he could talk to him.

"We made up, it was great." Sirius said smiling.

James couldn't help but laugh but Lily frowned at him.

"After all that you just made up?" Lily asked.

"Yeah, and it was great." Sirius said. "I wonder if it was a werewolf thing, or what she is."

"What are you talking about?" Remus asked.

Sirius jumped up out of his chair. "We made up a couple of times, I'm not really sure completely; anyway I'm hers and she's mine."

"We already knew that." James told him. "She took me as her mate, it was..." Sirius started but his mind started to wonder.

"You did it with a werewolf?" Peter asked.

"No he didn't, she just calmed him that's what it means." Remus told him.

"No it was so much more; I don't know how to describe it." Sirius said.

"We don't need a detailed account of your sex life." Remus informed him.

"It wasn't sex like that, it was more." Sirius said.

Nissa appeared just then making them all look at her and smile, she smiled back not sure why they were smiling and then saw the look on Sirius' face and knew what they had been talking about.

"Got any sense out of him yet?" Nissa asked. "He'll be fine, just give him a bit of time. Anyway I've this report it might come in handy with that assignment part you've got."

"So it's nice that the two of you made up." Remus said. "But do you think it was really the right time for you to take him as your mate?"

"Well considering that I was going through my mating sequel then yes, or I could have waited another six years." Nissa said pleasantly. "Anyway, if I've changed my mind by then I can always take another."

Sirius' smiled disappeared. "I don't think so, and I have to wait another six years?"

"No, it doesn't matter I'll tell you some over time." Nissa told him. "I've got to get back to work, remember that you lot are suppose to be there as well in an hour."

Nissa disappeared, Sirius turned back to James and Remus.

"I still don't understand her." Sirius admitted. "But, part of me feels that I will one day."
