Mistake's
Sirius and James had left on an assignment and once again Nissa had been left in the office with people staring at her, they kept telling her that it had nothing to do with what happened but she knew better; they wanted to keep a closer eye on her to make sure that she wouldn't do anything like that again.
Nissa got up, and gathered all of her things together to leave; Higgs came over quickly to her.
"Where are you going?" Higgs asked her.
"I can't seem to get any work done, so I'm going home; well back to the shop anyway." Nissa answered. "I'll see ya later then."
Then she apperated out of the office and reappeared in her shop, Lucy was there and wasn't really surprised to see her; she put all her things up stairs and then came back down to help.
"So still not going so well then?" Lucy asked her.
"No, and everyone is acting so weird around me." Nissa told her.
"Even your friends?" Lucy asked.
"No, I guess not; I think that's me with them." Nissa told her. "Especially with Sirius, I'm sure he's starting to think there's something wrong."

Sirius was pacing the kitchen floor while eating a bacon sandwich, mumbling from time to time but they couldn't really understand a word he was saying. Remus sat at the table reading the paper while James cooked another round of bacon sandwiches for them.
"Do you think she's acting odd?" Sirius asked them.
Remus looked up at him. "Who?"
"Nissa, Nissa of course; who else have I been talking about?" Sirius told him.
"Well do you think she's been acting odd? Well part from the obvious." Remus asked her.
"I think she's just trying to get over it, and it doesn't help that everyone at work won't let her." James said. "Especially that Jess, who fancy's you."
"Didn't you know everyone fancies Sirius?" Remus teased.
"It isn't that, and she doesn't." Sirius told them. "Personal I think she's annoyed that I'm going out with Nissa."
"And not her." James finished.
Sirius didn't say anything as he sat down at the table finally, he looked at them both and then came out with it. "I think she might be seeing someone else."
This time they both stopped what they were doing and looked over at him, Sirius looked at both of them as if waiting for them to tell him he was being stupid.
"What makes you say that?" James asked.
"I didn't sense anyone on her part from you, well later I don't even sense you on her." Remus said thoughtfully.
"That's because we haven't had sexy since it happened." Sirius told them. "I can't take it. She normally has such a high sex drive that I can't keep up, but now nothing."
James laughed as he carried on cooking, Sirius wasn't pleased by his responds; and well Remus didn't really give one.
"Don't either of you care?" Sirius asked them.
"That you haven't had sex in a month?" James said smiling. "No, it isn't really that big a deal. Just give her some space, she'll come round she always does."

Nissa had just seen off the last customer before they were closing for dinner, when Lucy saw a figure in black walking towards the shop; she backed away from the door and over to Nissa.
"Over there coming this way, it looks like a Death Eater." Lucy said breathlessly.
Nissa looked out; she knew who it was even if she couldn't see his face. "Its alright, he's an old friend."
"Are you sure?" Lucy asked her.
"Yeah, why don't you lock up for dinner." Nissa told her, just as the door opened and he walked in. "Afternoon."
He didn't say anything; he walked across the shop and grabbed hold of her wirst taking her upstairs.
"I'll see you in a bit, I shouldn't be long." Nissa told her quickly before she disappeared up the stairs.
He pushed open the door and almost throws her inside; she turned round and smiled at him as she straightens herself.
"Nice to see you as well." Nissa said pleasantly as she walked through to the living room. "I am surprised to see you here though, and using the front door."
She turned round to face him when he didn't answer her, he just stood there staring at her; Nissa felt quit uncomfortable with him looking at her like that, she didn't like the look in his eyes. Severus stepped forward making her take a step back away from him, he stopped and smiled at her.
"You didn't do that before." Severus told her. "Infact I believe it was you who wanted me."
"That wasn't me, not really." Nissa told him.
"I don't believe, it had to be in you somewhere for you to act like that in the first place." Severus told her. "I wonder what Sirius would say if he found out?"
"What, you wouldn't?" Nissa said.
Severus smiled at her again. "You didn't tell him then I didn't think you would, I don't think he would like the idea that you came to me; and not him."
"Severus." Nissa said, he came closer as if she had called him to her; but this time she didn't move away from him.
"Chose me, I'll give you everything; he's nothing." Severus whispered, she looked up into his eyes.
"I love him, I do." Nissa told him.
"And what you did with me, what that meant nothing; because I know it didn't." Severus told her, and then kissed her; she lost her self in the moment as she kissed him back before she got a hold of herself and pushed him away.
"I'm with Sirius, I love him; I'm sorry for what I did but I can't take it back." Nissa told him. "Please forget what I did."
Severus smiled. "I won't forget, and I won't give up either; you'll see that I'm better then he is."
He was still smiling at her when he disapperated out of there, she stood staring at the spot where he had been standing for a while before she went back down stairs; into the empty shop.
Lucy was coming back from lunch when she saw the four of them (James, Sirius, Remus and Peter.) heading towards the shop; she quickly runs over to them.
"Sirius!" Lucy shouts over to him.
They all turn round at the sound of his name, Sirius smiles at her when he realises who it is; but she doesn't smile back at him.
"What's wrong?" Sirius asked her as she stopped in front of them.
"Well before I left for lunch, this man turned up; he was dressed like a Death Eater." Lucy told them. "But Nissa told me he was an old friend; he almost dragged her upstairs with him. He was tall, pale, and black longish hair which wad greasy."
"Snape." Sirius said then turned round and walked into the shop, Nissa was stood at the counter; then demanded. "Was he here, with you?"
Nissa stared at him wondering what he was talking about, she still hadn't answered him when James and Remus walked in; then Lucy and Peter behind her.
"What are you talking about?" Nissa asked him.
"Snape was he here?" Sirius demanded.
Nissa didn't look at Lucy, she knew that she had only meant well. "Yes, he was here; but he left a while ago."
"What, why the hell was he here?" Sirius shot at her.
"If you've forgotten but we were friends." Nissa told him calmly.
"Yeah like you were with half of Slytherin, which I bet are all nearly Death Eater's by now." Sirius said angrily.
"I was only friends with Severus, they were his friends." Nissa told him.
"I can't believe that your still friends with him." Sirius said.
"That's sick; I can smell him all over her." Remus whispered to James.
James looked at him and then at Nissa, he stepped forward and put a hand on Sirius' shoulder.
"Maybe you should leave it and come back later." James told him.
Sirius glared at her before he turned around and left, he stormed ahead of them for a while until he finally stopped and turned back round.
"I don't believe she's still friends with that git, he's probably a Death Eater." Sirius said.
"There's something else." James said calmly.
Sirius looked at James and Remus, unsure that he wanted to know what they were going to tell him next.
"I don't want to know, what ever your wolf senses picked up I don't want to know." Sirius told him. "I don't believe it, anyone but him."
"I'm sorry mate." James said.
"That was what I was supposed to be to her." Sirius said.
***
He didn't go back to hers; instead he went round to James' again before going back to his own flat; where Remus had cooked for the three of them. Peter was sat at the table eating the bread rolls when Nissa appeared by the door.
"Hi Peter, where's Sirius?" Nissa said.
"Erm, well he's in the kitchen." Peter answered.
Nissa smiled slightly and then walked through to the kitchen, she could smile the food; it smelt quit nice as she walked in. They both turned round as she entered.
"I'm surprised that you're here." Sirius said.
"What?" Nissa asked confused.
"You seem to have forgotten that he's a werewolf and can pick up on things." Sirius told her.
Nissa looked at Remus and then back to Sirius. "I didn't...well...it isn't what you think."
"What? I don't believe it." Sirius said stepping back; he hadn't really really believed it until now.
"Nothing happened today, well part from he kissed me; but nothing else." Nissa told him. "But...yes...something did. When I was acting different, evil strange; what ever you want to call it."
"Please don't even say that the two of you." Sirius said closing his eyes trying to block out the mantled image that was forming in his mind.
"Sirius..." Nissa said stepping closer but he stepped back holding up his hands. "Please."
"No." Sirius said.
She looked at him one last time, and then left.
"Damn It!" Sirius shouted as he punched the wall. "With that that, bastard as well; anyone but him. No, why the hell did she have to do it?"
"It wasn't her, that's what you've been saying isn't it?" Remus said. "I know it's wrong, she'll know that as well."
"Then why the hell didn't she tell me?" Sirius said and then looked at Remus. "Fine, I wouldn't want to know that, but it isn't the point. She still did it."
***
Nissa didn't go into work for the next week or so, Sirius wasn't really that bothered after everything that had happened; but they kept sending people round just to check up on her.
Sirius was packing up his bike outside the flat, when a flash of light shot past his head; he spun round pulling out his wand. But he couldn't see anyone anywhere. He looked up and down the ally way, but still no one and then another shot of light this time from behind him. He rolled out of the way just in time to avoid someone jumping him.
He was back on his feet and facing a Death Eater, but who ever it was had a mask over his face; then there was another one behind him. Sirius moved back he was too closer to them, but he couldn't see where he was going and knocked into the trash cans. But someone caught him, her face came into the light; and she smiled at him.
"Need a hand?" She asked pleasantly.
Sirius nodded briefly at her, as he straightens himself. Sirius turned to the one on his right while Nissa went for the one in front, she smiled at him and then disappeared reappearing at his side. She twisted his arm around and throw him over her shoulder and then tied him up, while Sirius and the other Death Eater were still firing cursing at one another.
She sat down on his bike while he battled with the other, getting quit annoyed that she wasn't doing anything part from sitting there.
"Do something!" Sirius shouted at her,
"That isn't really fair now is it? Two against one, but I guess that was what they were going to do to you." Nissa said and then she disappeared again both of them stopped and looked around for her, then she reappeared in the middle of them.
But Sirius had just sent a curse at him, she managed to knock him out just as the curse hit her in the back; she stood there frozen and then fell backwards. He caught her just into time, and with a lot of trouble managed to carry her upstairs to the flat.
"Send Chaos to the Ministry; tell them that we have a couple of Death Eater's down stairs." Sirius told him as he laid Nissa down on the sofa.
"Aren't you going to do something about that?" Remus asked him looking down at Nissa, with the full body bind on her.
"In the morning yes." Sirius said, he throw a blanket over her and then went to bed.
Sirius woke up in the middle of the night, and saw someone sat at the bottom of his bed; he almost fell off it when he realised. She laughed softly at him; he kneeled up at saw who it was.
"Sirius I'm sorry." Nissa told him.
"Did Remus?" Sirius asked her.
"No, I did it myself." Nissa told him. "That isn't really the point. The point is I'm sorry for what I did, I know it was wrong; and it doesn't make it just saying sorry or that I did it while I have that creature's poison or what ever it was in me."
Sirius looked up at her, then got to his feet and sat on the edge of the bed next to her.
"But him, Snape of all people; Snape." Sirius said, and then looked at her. "Was he better, is that why we didn't do it afterward?"
Nissa smiled at him. "No, and I couldn't; I already felt as though I betrayed you."
"So I'm better then, I can live with that; I knew I was." Sirius said smiling at her. "We'll take it slowly, but you can sleep here if you want."
Nissa smiled at him, as she stood and he got back into bed and watched her get undress and in next to him. He moved over to her.
"Do me one thing, stay away from him." Sirius told her.
She looked over at him, and then nodded. She turned over and rested her head on his shoulder holding him tightly, but he didn't hold her.
Sirius and James had left on an assignment and once again Nissa had been left in the office with people staring at her, they kept telling her that it had nothing to do with what happened but she knew better; they wanted to keep a closer eye on her to make sure that she wouldn't do anything like that again.

"No, and everyone is acting so weird around me." Nissa told her.

"No, I guess not; I think that's me with them." Nissa told her. "Especially with Sirius, I'm sure he's starting to think there's something wrong."
