Napoleon was just getting out of the shower when there came a pounding at his door. Bloody hell he thought to himself while pulling on a pair of pajama pants, I Could have sworn I paid the rent. The knock came harder. "I'm coming, I'm coming" he said running to the door. He swung it open.

"Nikki?" Napoleon said "What are you doing here?" his voice was full of concern. Her face was red and her eyes were puffy, and she was trying to hold back her cries. He pulled her into a hug and she squeezed him tight. She couldn't hold back anymore and she began to cry hard. "Shhh" he said while rubbing her back. He pulled her inside and made her some tea. When she calmed down enough, he asked her what had happened and she told him everything. They were laying on his bed next to each other. This was nothing out of the ordinary, they always just laid together as friends.

"What kind of crap is that, 'I'm a man I can't be tied down to just one woman'" She said mockingly.

"You deserve better than that" Napoleon meant that.

"Yeah" she said trying to believe him. "He was sooo great though"

"You're better off without him" Nikki stifled a sob "Its only after you've lost everything that you're free to do anything" Napoleon told her. She smiled at him, he was always trying to seam wise.

"wasn't that used in Fight Club?" Nikki said with a smirk.

Napoleon, in need to change the subject said, "You could have gone to anyone, Harry, Hermione, your father, why'd you come to me?"

Nikki gave a weak laugh, "I trust you" she said turning her head so she could see him "Your my best friend" He smiled down at her and kissed her forehead. She cuddled closer to him and he wrapped his arms around her. Napoleon wished that he wasn't just her best friend, he wanted to be so much more than that. "She was pretty, that girl. She was really pretty" Nikki said voicing her thoughts.

"Who? the girl he was shagging?" Nikki shook her head yes. "I don't care how amazing that girl looked, she couldn't have been any competition to you."

"Well, you didn't see her."

"Nikki" Napoleon said more serious. "Your so beautiful, any guy would be a fool to choose another woman over you."

"Why do these things always happen to me?" she asked more to herself.

Napoleon didn't know what to say to this so he just voiced some advice that had been on his mind. "In the future, ever time you date a guy ask him what he actually likes about you, and if the answers not genuine then dump him."

"What do you like about me?" she asked curiously. He placed his hand in the center of her chest, just above her heart."This" he said indicating her heart. She smiled at him.

"Thanks Napoleon" she said resting her head on his chest.

"Hey dad"

"Hey sweetheart"

"I didn't think you were going to show. What did you want to talk about?" Nikki said. Sirius was always canceling his appointments with her. Appointments, she was his daughter and she ad to make appointments, but she understood that he was very busy being the Deputy Ambassador and all.

"I just wanted to see what you've been up too"

"Oh the usual-"

"Are you still dating Sean?"

"Oh no, we broke up about a month ago." Nikki said.

"Any new guys?" Sirius said lifting up an eyebrow. He didn't like that she was with a new guy every few months but she reminded him of himself at her age.

"No" she sighed. "But that doesn't matter, me and Napoleon have been hanging out a lot and he said that-"

"Napoleon?" Sirius asked "O'Connell?"

"Yeah"

"Harry told me about him, he seams to like you a lot"

"It's not like that dad, we're just really good friends"

"okay, well just in case, I just want you to know that you can do better than that"

"What?" Nikki said shocked

"Napoleons a good guy and all but your special Nikki, you've got a lot of potential in your future and you wouldn't want to mess that up with someone like him. You should look for a guy more like-"

"More like what dad? more like Harry?" Nikki was getting angry now. "Dad me and Harry will never be together. I don't love Harry like that. And me and Napoleon would be great together." Nikki grabbed her bag and coat and left. She didn't want to get to mad at her father and figured she should just walk away now before things got worse.

A few months later...

"So, how's the new boyfriend?" Napoleon asked.

"He's a really good guy, Napoleon." Nikki said in protest. Napoleon didn't get along with her new guy, Preston. Preston was one of those stuck up snobs that thought they were better than everyone else. Nikki didn't see this of course and thought he was awesome. Napoleon didn't have the heart to tell her that he wasn't as perfect as she thought. Most people would think that she had a thing for rich, snobby, assholes. But in truth they weren't her taste, but they were the only ones that ever asked her out. She was so pretty that most guys figured they wouldn't have a chance.

"Alright"

"So where's Harry?" Nikki asked.

"Hey Nikki." Harry said from behind her.

"Oh, hey Harry" she said while getting up and greeting him.

They all sat down and got a few drinks and talked for the rest of the night. "So then we got in a fight over a spoon fork and he tried to plastic wrap me to a poll" Harry said between fits of laughter. Nikki burst out laughing while Napoleon flushed.

"Alright, aright." he said trying to get them to stop laughing. "I was young and stupid"

"And what are you now?" Harry asked "Slightly less young, and stupid" he started laughing really hard.

"Great, excuse me while I go slit my wrists"

"Don't worry about that O'Connell, I've got to leave now anyways" Harry said standing up.

"Will you be okay on your own?" Nikki asked Harry.

"Of course" he said giving her a kiss on the cheek and leaving. Nikki and Napoleon stayed at the bar for hours and talked about everything, and before she knew it she was telling Napoleon about her childhood.

"My step dad was just such a horrid man. He told horrible lies, and sometimes I believed him. All his lies had just a grain of truth to them, enough to make you wonder"

"Hitler once said the bigger the lie, the more people will believe it."

"Yeah, well I suppose he was right." Nikki got tired of talking about herself and wanted to change the subject. "What about you Napoleon? what was your childhood like?"

"Hmphh, not much to tell."

"Come on...please?"

"Okay" So for the next hour Napoleon told Nikki all about his past. His father left his mother before he was born, and his mother died while giving birth to him. He grew up in a lot of orphanages and foster homes. When he was fourteen he continuously ran away from the foster home he was in at the time and was in and out of a boys jail for various petty crimes. When he was sixteen he ran away from the orphanage he was staying at and lived on his own since.
