Double Double Toil and Trouble

By Zeta - otherwise known as Amanda Halliwell

Chapter - I lost track of the Chapter number -

Prue was in the Slytherin girl's dormitories getting ready for the Christmas dance that night. It had been a couple of weeks since she and Sirius had made up after her homecoming from the hospital. Everything was finally going to go right, everything was going to be good. The dance was something she had been looking forward to. She'd even dragged Kyra down to Hogesmade to buy her some perfect dress robes for the night. She would look a spectacle, and she would dance with Sirius tonight - nothing was going to prevent her from going there. Nothing.

For all those times you stood by me
For all the truth that you made me see
For all the joy you brought to my life
For all the wrong that you made right
For every dream you made come true
For all the love I found in you
I'll be forever thankful baby
You're the one who held me up
Never let me fall
You're the one who saw me through through it all

Sirius was also preparing for the dance in the Gryffindor boys dormitories. James was continuously having a go at him about Prue. Saying they were perfect for each other. Saying that he deserved to be with her and dance with her. James had nothing but support for him, as did Remus and Peter. Sirius's own romantic story was about to come true. Something he had been waiting for all his life. Something he knew would be the most perfect night of his life.

You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith 'coz you believed
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me

Back in the Slytherin girl's dormitories Prue was remembering all the times she and Sirius had shared. She knew Sirius loved her more than anything in the world and she would dress up for him and only for him. They would dance together - she knew it. Prue let Kyra do her make up and hair in a style that Prue had never seen before. A style that would no doubt bring out her blazing blue eyes and make Sirius fall in love with her all over again.

You gave me wings and made me fly
You touched my hand I could touch the sky
I lost my faith, you gave it back to me
You said no star was out of reach
You stood by me and I stood tall
I had your love I had it all
I'm grateful for each day you gave me
Maybe I don't know that much
But I know this much is true
I was blessed because I was loved by you

You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see

Sirius knew time was going quickly and he would be expected to meet Prue in the Entrance Hall. He remembered too, how she had showed him she loved him on the train when she'd thrown the tissues at him breathlessly. How easily had managed to pluck them from her pocket, now he definitely knew why she had been acting so strange. If only he had noticed it then he would have been able to ask her to go out with him then and there. But he hadn't been able to because he was too shy and none of the Maurader's even knew he liked her.

You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith 'coz you believed
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me

You were always there for me
The tender wind that carried me
A light in the dark shining your love into my life
You've been my inspiration
Through the lies you were the truth
My world is a better place because of you

Prue stood up and walked down into the Slytherin common room. Silence filled the place as they all stared. She was the most beautiful girl in the room. Produxi Prudence Diane Dumbledore would be the Queen of the ball no contest. Jealousy could be seen from the other girls, but Prue just being herself didn't know any better. She was going to have the time of her life. She made her way up the steps and off to the Entrance Hall. There in front of her she spotted Sirius Black and watched his mouth drop open in awe.

Sirius took Prue's arm and led her into the dance. He couldn't believe how beautiful she was to him. This was the girl who had refused to wear anything, anything like this. This was the girl who hadn't been afraid to get her hands dirty and get into trouble with the guys. She hadn't done anything remotely wrong, ever. Sirius knew the girl loved him, and he loved her right back. Now all he had to do was admit it to her face, they were the perfect couple, now if only Lily and James saw that they too could make a good couple then everything would be totally real, totally fine. It would be happy days for everyone.

Prue was thinking along the same lines. She loved Sirius and knew she was going to dance with him tonight. Neither of them had been this close since Sirius had asked her to the dance in the first place. They entered the Great Hall and saw all the other couples already on the dance floor chatting happily. Nobody was dancing quite yet - not until Professor Dumbledore officially opened the dancing and let the hired band sing for the students. It would be a night to remember for all of them.

"I officially welcome you all to the Christmas dance," Professor Dumbledore called out to the students, eyes twinkling, "and I invite you all onto the dance floor. Just remember school rules still apply and have a great time!"

Professor Dumbledore then noticed his granddaughter with Sirius Black. Those two had taken their time in getting together and he knew he was concerned for the girl's wellbeing. But he also knew Produxi wasn't stupid. He decided to let her have her night of fun and enjoy herself as she wrapped her arms around the boys neck and watched the two kiss for the first time. Dumbledore wiped a tear from his eyes as they danced in the crowd. His granddaughter was growing up and there was nothing she could do about it.

Prue had never been this happy in her whole life. She never thought she could be this happy wrapped up in a guys arms and being swayed around the dance floor. She and Sirius had been through so much over the recent weeks of school. It was hard to believe that it was only December; they still had plenty of weeks left and O.W.Ls coming up. No matter what, Prue knew she and Sirius would be together through it all and would love one another to the end of time. They were never going to be apart. Little did she know about the approaching darkness and the future that awaited the happy couple as they danced around the room, the future that was looming ever closer …

AUTHOR'S NOTES: Yay! I finally completed a story! 'does dance'. Anyways! In case you are wondering I'm doing a sequel set in Harry's time after the Half Blood Prince. So much has changed since this happy time wipes tear away from eye and I hope you'll enjoy the my own personal version of the Seventh Book that's coming up next!
