Harry laid on top of Nikki on her bed; their lips were at least an inch
away from each other. Harry could feel his heart beating rapidly, drowning
out almost all sound. Their lips be came closers when Harry heard foots
steps beneath them. Harry, panicking, began to tickle Nikki's sides as a
head peaked through her trap door.
"There you are," Fred said. "Mum sent me and George to find you two, supper's ready."
"Alright," Harry said as he stopped tickling Nikki and got up. The two went down to the main floor; Nikki and George in front. Freed clapped Harry's shoulder and stopped walking.
"I knew what you were about to do back there," Fred told him.
"What?" Harry asked, trying to sound oblivious.
"Now really Harry, you think I don't know what it looks like when a guy's about to kiss a girl?" He asked as Harry flushed. "Now, I'm not going to start being a mother Harry; but at least think before you act."
"I don't follow." Harry said slowly.
"You were about to kiss Remus' daughter. And Sirius. My does that ever sound odd.. Any ways, Harry, what I wanted to get at is; don't do something with out thinking of the consequences. If you're going to kiss her, at least know what it could do to you, and her."
"You really lost me Fred." Harry told him.
"Oh, I lost myself. That's just something that Percy told me when he walked in on me flirting. It was something like that; I wasn't really paying attention. He bored me half to death." He said as they walked into the dinning room.

Harry walked down the stairs late the next morning, he had a sleepless night. Visions of Sirius falling behind the veil in the department of mysteries filled his head and, occasionally, Sirius would turn into Nikki just before he fell. It wasn't until daybreak that he actually got to sleep peacefully.
"Good morning Harry," Ginny greeted him.
Harry yawned "Morning" to her and looked at her.
"Ginny," Harry said slowly. "What are you doing?"
Ginny was looking at the television Fred and George bought them, or rather their father who was obsessed with Muggles and their way of life. The screen was constantly rolling and nobody really bother to watch since it went twice as fast since their dad tried to fix it.
"Nikki fixed it this morning. She showed me how to." She stared at the top of the screen raised her hand and smacked the top of the television, fixing the screen. Ginny smirked proudly as she sat back down in front of the TV.
"What are you watching" Harry asked in amazement, looking at the still screen.
"Doubles figure skating, it live. Me and Nikki were watching it all morning; she said that her favorite team was going to be in it but I can't find her. And they're supposed to be coming on next." Ginny said as she glanced around the room.
The show came back as it showed two teens, a girl and a boy that looked around Harry's age, leaning on a small wall to keep people off the ice. The girl had big black shoulder length ringlets pushed back into a bandana. She, unlike all the other girls behind her, was not wearing a body suit and a skirt but rather normal black pants and a red T-shirt. The guy she was talking to had short black hair that had a casual elegance to it, black pants on too and a white dress shirt with the top two buttons unbuttoned.
"Bella, Tiller" The two turned exposing their blue eyes, the girl's was a soft blue and the boy's was a deeper shade. "You're on."
The two smiled at each other as they stepped out on to the ice and glided to the middle. As the two began to twirl in unison to the music, the announcer's voices came on; overlapping the song.
"Nikki Bella and Mike Tiller, favorites for the past few years are off to another flawless start." A woman's voice commented.
"They were in this since they were eight weren't they?" Asked a man as the woman murmured in agreement. "And favorites ever since."
Mike lifted Nikki up and over his head as they twirled around and slowly brought her back down into a hug around her waist.
"What I love about them; is that they can go slowly yet, still have a graceful ... sensual . look to it."
"I love how they can let you feel the passion from way the move."
The music died down as the lights dimmed; obviously signaling the fact that the performance was now over. The two glided back off the ice, as the judges, who were off to the side, tallied up their scores.
"They were quite good." Ginny commented as the two we still on the screen laughing as they showed their scores on the bottom of the screen; putting them in first place. The announcers announced them as the winners as Mike smoothed out her hair. Harry did a small gasp as he looked as the screen; Bella's hair was now flattened and looked just like
"Nikki?" Ginny asked the television.
"I think it is." Harry said as her hair bounced back into place and he shut off the television. "Did she tell you...."
"No. And I wish she did. I'd love to watch her perform." Ginny said as she walked towards the kitchen for lunch.
"I wonder why she kept it a secret," Harry thought out loud.
"No clue," Ginny whispered as she helped herself to some soup. "Pass me a roll."

Harry sat at the small table in the living room playing chess with Ron as Ginny watched in a daze. Another one of Harry's pieces was dragged off the board as Harry sighed. He heard the door behind them open. They turned and saw Nikki walk into the room, her hair had a wave to it, Harry assumed that she tried to brush out the curls, and was wearing the same black pants and red shirt that was shown on the television.
"Why hello Nikki Bella." Harry greeted her in a cold voice.
"You saw it; didn't you?" Nikki asked in a sad tone.
"Yeah we saw you." Harry replied. "Why didn't you tell us that you and some guy go around on the ice twirling?"
"I don't know," Nikki shrugged. "I guess that it wasn't very important."
"Sure," Harry said as he moved his King forward in defeat and went upstairs. Harry stormed into his room and slammed the door. He flopped himself onto his bed as he heard someone knocking on the door.
"Harry?" Nikki said as she came in. "What's wrong?"
"You mean to tell me that you don't know what you did wrong?" Harry screamed angrily.
"Yeah, dose it have anything to do with me and Mike figure skating?"
"YES!" Harry screamed again, becoming more and more enraged.
"How?" Nikki asked calmly.
"All I could think of when you two were prancing around on your skates was last night. The announcers were saying how sensuous you two looked and .. How you could feel the passion between you. And then I remembered last night when we were upstairs in your room, just before Fred interrupted us. When I was about to.. And..then I saw Mike and you. It's obvious that there's something between you two."
"There isn't Harry." Nikki said as she shook her head and sat down beside him. "Mike was my only friend from the orphanage. When we were five we bought these two pairs of skate from a yard sale, and we got one of the workers at the orphanage to enroll us in figure skating. When I was seven, Mike got adopted; and he had to leave. He promised me that he would come back once every year to figure skate with me in the competitions. And he did, people thought that we were so cute together so we did some more . misleading dances. It was a crowd pleaser and we just kept doing our dances like that. Besides skating there is nothing between us."
Harry looked at her. Her eyes showed no emotion, almost as if it was pleading him to believe her, her mouth was closed and her face was relaxed. Harry sighed again, he felt so foolish; just like when he believed that Sirius was being torture in the Department of Mysteries.
"Why did you care anyways?" She asked him as she gave him a searching look.
"No reason," Harry lied as he shook his head.
"Tell me," she said as she tickled his side. "You tickled me for information now I'm going to tickle you."
"Because I like you," Harry laughed, making Nikki stop tickling him abruptly.
"You what?" She whispered in shock as Harry sat back up.
"I said 'because I like you'." Harry said as he placed his hand on the side of her face. He slowly pulled her forward; towards him. Harry saw that Nikki's eyes had a warmness to them that made him smile.
"FILTH," Screamed a harsh voice in the hallway. "FILTH BESTOWED ON TO THE NOBLE HOUSE OF BLACK! I WOULDN'T BE SURPRISED IF YOU WERE ALL TO BE ETERNALY DAMNED!"
Harry and Nikki jumped off the bed and ran into the hallway. Mrs. Black's picture was open and a tall figure with short black hair in multiple ponytails was trying in vain to close the drapes over her which were being kept open because of the screams. Harry jumped the stairs and grabbed one of the drapes from her and helped her close them.
"Thanks," she said.
"Tonks," Harry exclaimed. "I didn't know it was you."
"I thought that you would of, I'm the only one that sets her off; unless Molly's in a mood." She added quietly. "So, how's your summer been going?"
"It's .. It's been alright." Harry said unsurely.
"Did your uncle give you trouble?" She asked as she narrowed her eyes. Harry shook his head. "Good. I was getting worried once I didn't hear from you in a few days, I sent an owl to Remus and he said that you were here; he didn't say why though."
"Hello," Nikki said brightly from Tonks' side.
"Hello," Tonks said curtly as she looked at Nikki before she did a double take and stare at her.
"Yes, may I help you?" Nikki asked her after a few seconds of being stared at.
"Did I see you before?" Tonks asked as she gave her a searching look.
"I don't think we did." Nikki said slowly. "If you adopted an unstable child then it may have been me."
"No," Tonks said. "You look like.."
"Sirius," Harry told her. "She looks like Sirius. She's his daughter."
"So you're Nikki!" She said as her face light up. Harry stared at her, he expected her to freak out like he did but she acted as though she expected it. "Your dad told me about you once."
"He did." Nikki asked slowly.
"Yeah, he wanted me to keep my eyes opened incase I saw you when I was roaming around." Tonks told her as she went to see what Molly wanted her for.
Harry saw a pained look on Nikki's face, almost as if she was trying to hold back her tears. She turned to Harry and gave him a weak smile.
"Somebody actually wanted to find me," she said softly as Harry gave her a one armed hug.
