Chapter 1: Return to Earth.

Apollo knocked on the door before entering, not long after he left. Hermes had just dropped a note off saying that the test was to be in the Great Hall in an hour. This was much sooner than he expected, so, he had to make sure she was ready. Dana opened the door, only looking slightly disheveled. "Hey." she said simply, letting him in and going back to sit on the bed.

"They've moved up the time of the test. We've got an hour to make you ready.." He said not bothering to skip around.

"Apollo, you worry to much. You've been quizzing me, and teaching me since you pushed all that knowledge into my brain. I'm ready." Dana said, after falling back onto the bed, and pushing herself up to look at him. Sirius crawled over to rub her shoulders.

"Ok, then let me quiz you one last time." he said, in a worried tone. "I just know that Pan will try to sabotage you. You've got to be ready..."

"I am ready. Let's go!"

"Ok, situation number one. Your hero is fighting with the son of a death eater, and the son is winning. What do you do?"

"I would let be unless my disguise required me to help, or he was in mortal danger." She answered promptly.

"Good." Apollo said. "Very good, what do you do if he's fighting that father."

"Same, knowing that he's has to fight the Voldemort would prevent him from killing the boy."

"And when he's fighting Voldemort himself."

"Only if he's in mortal danger, as I can't stop him from fulfilling the prophecy by killing him myself."

"Good. Now what if he gets caught in a blizzard?"

"Make sure he stay's safe and warm until the blizzard is gone, or by just moving the blizzard myself."

"Where would you move it?"

"To where it would do the least damage."

"Good."

"So, are we going to test her abilities?" Sirius asked.

"We don't need to, we know she can use them." said Apollo.

"They drugged me via cookie, then shoved all the powers in me. They didn't even ask."

"Well, it seems to me like she's ready." Sirius said, still rubbing her shoulders.

"Well then, lets go… it'll take awhile to get there.. it's across the valley."

"Can we take the horses!" Dana said brightly. "Please, Apollo.. I've been so good. And you know how hard that is for me." She smirked back over her shoulder at her would-be fiancé.

"Ok, I suppose. But you two share a horse. I'm not running."

They left the room went down the stairs and into the driveway. Apollo waved his hand and the restraints flew off the horses as they approached, replacing them with western saddles and bridles. Dana hoped on with no problem, and them grabbed Sirius and pulled him up behind her. He reached around to take the reins.

"What are you doing?" Dana asked him, holding the reins in her right hand.

"I'm driving.." He said, putting his head on her shoulder, and reaching to take the reins again. She moved her hand out of reach.

"And why would you do that?"

"Hey," he said, his male ego coming into play. "I'm the man.."

"And I'm the one that's been ridin' since I was 3." She said, her really southern accent coming up again.

"Age over beauty, love." He said simply taking the reins.

"I hate it when you say that."

"Because you know I'm right."

"Shut it!" she said.

"You know, I love it when you get mad, you get so cute." he said in her ear, and rolled her eyes and made her pouty face more exaggerated.

"Let's go.. We've got around 45 minutes to get there. But unless we want to trot the entire way, we've got to go."

"Trot? Why would we trot? If we're going to ride, then Let's Ride!" She said, clucking her tongue and nudging the horse with her foot. The horse reared abit, before taking off at a fast canter. Sirius abandoned the reins to hold on to Dana, who was clearly loving it. She gladly took the reins, locked her legs tightly around the horse, and clucked again, bring the horse into a faster canter, near the breaking point into a gallop. Apollo, rolled his eyes, and nudged his own horse directly into a gallop to catch up to the love birds.

Now, Sirius had flown on a hippogriff, swam a long distance as a dog, and has had to face many horrors and adventures in his life, but this one ride took the cake. He held on to Dana for dear life, never riding something going so fast and unstable.
His motorcycle had been smoother than this. But Dana was clearly enjoying it, and he had to say, being so close to her again after eighteen years was simply intoxicating. Dana gave a shout as she looked over her shoulder to see a fast approaching Apollo. She grinned, and said, "You alright honey?" He kissed under her ear and whisper, "Of course, love."

She grinned her little mischievous grin, "Then hold on tight, we're about to race."

"Race?"

"Apollo."

"Race a god?"

"Yep."

"Fun."

She felt him smile and clucked to the horse again, nudging it into the fastest it could go, and the horse simply radiated with pleasure at being able to sprint. It was literally glowing beneath them. Apollo's horse joined in the race, simply feeling left out at not being able to go as fast. As they approached the Great Hall of the Gods, she slowed the horse down, to a walk, as Apollo came up next to her.

"That was.. Fun." He said simply. She smiled at him.

"Of course it was!" she said, "It was my idea, and my ideas are always fun."

"She has a point."

They entered the building and walked down to the center of a arena type thing where a single stool sat. Rows upon rows of seats surrounded the stage. Dana went without hesitation to sit on the stool. Sirius sat next to Apollo, wanting to ask him abit more about what had been going on.

"So she's still 18?" Sirius asked, looking at her young form stare off into space.

"Yeah. She's aged on month instead of the 18 years like you have. I was really surprised to see you. I mean, she'd only talked about you, and how much she missed you 99 of the time." Apollo replied.

"I was surprised to see her. A brightener on my day. I mean, I'm killed when it's not my time, and then I see the love of my life. Even if I now seem way to old for her. People have been together with age differences more than that. it'll be fine."

Apollo looked at him, an odd expression on his face. "You know, I'm sure if you wanted to, I could protest against the gods to make you younger.. not your mind younger, but your body, possibly back to her age. You'd spend the time that she's recovering as time for you to recover, and then when you go back you'll be the same age."

Sirius looked at him. "Are you serious?"

"Of course, I wouldn't have said it if I weren't."

"I'd love it. Dana and me together again, his godparents. Mr. and Mrs. Sirius Black. Sir, you've just made everything in my life perfect. Well, almost. Now I just need to not be a convicted murderer and we're all set."

"What?" Dana said, catching the tail end of the conversation, "You're a convicted murderer? You didn't kill Snape, did you?"

"No, no, unfortunately. You know Peter Pettigrew?"

"Rat boy?"

"Yeah, he, how do I put this."

"You killed Rat Boy!"

"No. He killed…"

"Sirius, if you don't tell me what is going on, I'm going to have Apollo beat you up."

He got up and hugged her. "He betrayed us. He betrayed Lily and James, one year after they had Harry."

"What? Who's Harry?" she gasped as comprehension dawned on her. "They're dead?" She collapsed, sitting on the floor. "And.. They had a son.. Harry.. He's.."

"The one they talked about in the prophecy." Sirius finished.

"I have to protect…"

"Your best friends son." Sirius said, his voice weak.

Dana had never been one to cry. She simply said, as calmly as she could, "So who did you kill?"

"I was going to kill Rattail." He said, kneeling next to her, arms wrapped around her. "But he faked his own death, and killed 12 muggles, and then all the blame was put on me."

"I missed a hell of a lot of stuff." She said, her voice still a controlled calm voice.

"Well," said Apollo, after watching this exchange, "You'll have to discuss it at another time, It's time."

Dana and Sirius looked up at the same time and gasped. Every god and goddess imaginable, from the Christian god to the Goddess of Horse Flies, were now occupying the seats of the arena. Apollo got up and walked onto the stage.

"Fellow gods and goddesses, Rulers of the Earth, before the Trials began, I have a request. This human next to the guardian-in-training is her soul-mate. Then, when her life was taken, and her training begun, they were tragically separated. He has aged during her time here, and now they cannot be together. I ask of you, my friends, to de-age his body, and bring him to her age, so that they may be together."

The Norse god, Forseti, stood from where he sat in the hall. "How did he come to be here?"

"I came when I fell through the passageway here." Sirius said, standing, and helping Dana to her feet.

"I ask for a vote." Apollo continued, as Forseti sat back down, "All those for the de-aging process, please say Aye." A very loud chorus of Ayes sounded, "And those against it." A chorus of Nays sounded. Forseti stood.

"The Aye's have it."

He walked down the steps and gave Sirius a cookie. He took a bite, and that was the last thing he remembered.

Sirius woke up, yawned loudly, then looked around. He was not in his room at Number 12 Grimmauld place. Everything was too clean. Or was it the fact he could see clearer. "What the bloody hell?" He heard a moan next to him, and he looked over to see a blob of blankets. He pulled them back, revealing a rather beat up looking Dana, And everything came back to him.

"Dana? Love? Are you alright?"

She opened her eyes, winced, and looked at Sirius. "My, my, don't we look sexy this morning."

"What?"

"Look in the mirror, honey."

He stood, and walked over to the mirror, where normally he would see a unshaven face, a cornucopia of long, matted black hair, and an older face, he saw him as young again, his sexy black hair falling slightly in front of his eyes, which currently were wide in shock. "Bloody hell."

Dana came and stood next to him. She had a huge black eye that seemed to take up half of her face. Similar bruises could be found all over her. There were three long, deep scratches on both her neck and chest, and she was limping.

"What happened.. " He asked her, afraid to touch her because of the bruises.

"Lets just say Apollo wasn't kidding when he said the test were hard."

"Did you.. pass?"

"Yes, with flying colors, that just decided I would make a good home." She chuckled. Just then Apollo walked in hold a tray of food and drinks.

"Don't expect this treatment again. I don't do breakfast in bed very often."

Dana smiled gratefully, as he handed her a goblet of fresh smelling potion. She drank it, as she moved back to the bed. Instantly, all of her wounds healed, and she was back to her normal self. If what she was was indeed normal.

"I'm sorry to say, but I must send you away. We had to move up the time. You need to be back before his 6th year. So get dressed, Quickly, We've only got a few hours." Apollo said, leaving the room, as Sirius stuffed a piece of toast in his mouth.

"Ell, ou eard duh an. O Ange!" Sirius mumbled around his toast, as he walked over to the closet, and talking out some clothes he liked. Dana laughed at his silliness, and after swallowing, gave her a mischievous smile.

"Oh no.. I know that smile. Don't even think about it, we've got to get going!" Dana said, pushing past him. But he grabbed her around the stomache, spun her around, and kissed her anyway.

After changing, and eating breakfast they met Apollo outside, were an arch exactly like the one in the department of mysteries. Dana and Apollo gave each other hugs, and a kiss on the cheek.

"I'm going to miss having you around. But I'm still your god, so it won't be too bad." said Apollo.

"Well, it's been fun. Thanks for everything, mate." said Sirius, shaking his hand.

"Not at all."

"Bye!" Dana called cheerily as she stepped through the arch way, Sirius right behind her.

Dana and Sirius had just walked through the barrier, and up and out of the department of mysteries when, just by chance, none other then Dumbledore came striding up the hall.
