Holly knocked on the door of Number 12 Grimmauld place at ten pm, as instructed. A red headed women opened the door.

"Good evening Molly." Holly said stepping into the house.

"Hi, Holly, good to see you. There's a few people who'll be happy to see you." Molly spoke in a low tone, as not to awaken the portrait of Sirius' dead mother.

"And I'm sure I'll be happy to see them." She followed Molly Weasley to the kitchen. Remus was sitting drinking a cup of tea with a young man with long red hair tied back into a pony tail, and a young woman with bright pink hair.

"Holly!" The woman exclaimed, jumping up knocking over the chair she was sitting in, and hugging her.

"Hello Tonks."

"Oh, this is Bill Weasley, and you know Remus."

"Hi Bill, nice to meet you. Hey, Remy." She shook Bill's hand and hugged Remus hard. "Where's Sirius?"

"Up stairs, he's showering, again. He wanted to smell nice for you."

"Can you blame him though, on the run for that long." Bill said leaning back into his chair, putting his big dragon-skinned boots on the table. Molly hit his feet with a rolling pin and Bill removed his feet at his mothers request.

"Would you like something to eat?" Molly asked her.

"No thanks, I already ate. I'm sorry I couldn't make it to the meeting. I had something to take care of." She sat down next to Remus.

"What?" he looked concerned.

"False tips on where Sirius is."

"I knew it was you who was feeding us." Tonks said, she was one of the top Aurors now a days. "But don't worry, I'll keep it safe." She had a big smile on her face. There was a loud cracking noise and two red heads appeared in the room, Holly jumped at the sudden noise.

"Oh, hello Fred, hello George." she said catching her breaths.

"Miss Thane!" George said suddenly.

"It's Miss Evans stupid." Fred elbowed his brother.

"Actually you two can call me Holly." she laughed.

"Did I hear someone say that my Lovely is finally here?" Sirius walked into the room, and Holly immediately ran to him and embraced him. "Missed you too." he said holding her close. He smelled clean. He kissed the top of her head. There were no words for a moment like this. They were finally back together. His stomach rumbled.

"Sirius, you need to eat." Molly said finally interjecting.

Everyone had watched them. Holly and Sirius locked hands and sat down at the table.

"I must say Siri, you look much more healthy from last time I saw you." He had shaven off his beard, Holly was glad she didn't really care for it, and his hair fell at the middle of his neck.

"Well, Molly has treated me wonderfully. She really is an amazing cook." Molly blushed at the compliment, and Sirius dug into his food, still holding Holly's hand. Fred looked at them and he looked rather disappointed, but tried not to let it show.

"And I'm sure having someone eat thirds of everything is a complement in it's self." Remus added. "Well, I'm going to bed."

"Why, Holly just got here!" Sirius protested.

"I've got to rest for tomorrow night. And I'm sure as soon as you get done eating, your going to whisk her away and give her a...personal tour of the house." Remus smiled wickedly, Sirius shot him a nasty, but playful look.

"Goodnight Remus." Molly said cheerfully.

"Goodnight. Behave you two." he teased Sirius and Holly. Remus left the room, but something didn't add up.

"Wait, the full moon was two weeks ago. What's tomorrow night?" Holly asked.

"Guard duty. Everyone has to do it. It's Remus and my turn tomorrow." Bill spoke up.

"Ok. That make much more sense."

"So, Lovely. How about I show you around?" Sirius asked. "Then we can play catch up?" He whispered in her ear kissing her cheek.

"Ok. Well, it was nice seeing all of you." Holly barley got that out, as Sirius was practically dragging her out of the room. Nobody was surprised at this, though, Fred's face was slightly more red.

"I don't think I ever came over here Siri." she said after climbing a few stairs.

"That's because none of my friends were ever invited over. Not even James. Are you kidding, my dear mother would have head a heart attack. Then again, maybe I should have had James over sooner, and…"

"Sirius." They stopped in the hallway and she pulled in closer. He wrapped his arms around her lower waist and held her very close.

"Have I told you how incredibly gorgeous you've gotten. The years have treated you very well Miss Evans." he moved some stray hairs out of her face.

"No. But I never get tired of hearing it." she laughed quietly. Sirius bent down and kissed her softly. The first kiss they had shared in over a decade. It was amazing. Their breath seem to leave them, and at the same time they wanted more.

"Oh god Sirius." she managed to get out breathing into his neck. He just picked her up and carried her to his room.

It was an hour later before either one could speak coherently to each other again.

"You have no idea how good that felt." Sirius said sliding off of her and resting on his side, she rolled over on her side to face him.

"I think I have an idea." she ran a finger down his chest. Noticing something for the first time. "When did you get this done?" she placed her palm against his hot skin over his heart. There was a tattoo under her hand. And now that she looked, there was another one on the left side of his chest too.

"Well this one, I got done about a week after I gave you that ring." He took her hand in his and kissed her palm gently. "And the other one, wasn't much of a choice." Holly then realized what it was. It was the symbol given to those in Azkaban who were in for life.

"I can try and remove that you know. If you want."

"I'll try anything once." he got a wicked grin on his face as he kissed her deeply again. He moved down her neck planting equally deep kisses. It was like heaven.

"Tell me about the ring." she said with her eyes shut, enjoying the way his lips felt against her skin.

"We haven't been together in over a decade and you want to know about a chunk of silver?" He looked rather disappointed.

"Yes." Sirius sat up, leaned against the headboard and drew her up in his arms, so the back of her head was against his chest. He kept running his arms up and down hers while he told her about the ring.

"So, it was about a week before Christmas, and James and I, like usual are last minute shopping. We have no idea what to get you or Lily, we just know that it had to be something good. No, normally we would have Remus with us and he would enlighten us with all of his knowledge of what women like, but he was as you remember, he was in bed after a gruesome transformation. I think that was the time he tried taking a chuck out of James' leg, yeah that was an interesting night. But anyway, so, we're in London, James dragged me into this jewelry store, because he figured his pregnant wife should have something to make her feel pretty. And I see this simple sliver ring. It was in the back, I figured most guys thought it a waste of time. But I thought, nope, it's simple and elegant, like my Lovely." He sweetly kissed the top of her head. "I got the guy to engrave it with your initials."

"But you put it as H.J.B. not H.J.E." she teased.

"I know, I was being ambitious. I figured I cold change it to mine, if you said no. But I knew I wanted you to be mine forever. Because I love you like that. So, I added this charm to it. It was the standard charm for a Promise Ring in the wizarding world. I'm surprised you didn't figure that out."

"I tried the stationary counter cure, but it didn't work."

"BecauseIaddedsomethingtoit." he said quickly.

"I knew it. What did you add to it?"

"A bad luck curse for anyone who tried to get to you." he mumbled out, and tried to cover up by fake coughing. She sat up.

"Is that why Avrik's dead?"

"What?"

"Is that why Avrik's dead?"

"I don't know did he ask you out?"

"Yes."

"Did you say yes?"

"No."

"But he kept asking you?"

"Yea. But I never went though with it. I was too heart broken over you." she was looking in his eyes now.

"Did he break out in huge boils, filled with green puss?"

"No, at least not where I could see them."

"Yea, you wouldn't be able to see them, unless you caught him without his pants down."

"Ok. Then I don't know."

"Well, that was the extent of it."

"Oh good." she let out a sigh of relief and leaned back against him.

"I'm sorry you lost him. He was a good friend to you." Sirius finally said.

"Thank you." she kissed him softly. "God I love you." He kissed her deeply.

"I know."

"How do you know?"

"Because I know you Lovely."

"Something's never change."

"Nope." he laid her down and they didn't let go until the early hours in the morning.
