Harry and Alexa slowly and quietly entered the hospital wing. They were both a little nervous, not sure if his memory was intact or if he suffered the same mishap as the twins.

Harry stepped forward first and Alexa let herself melt into the background.

"Sirius?" Harry softly called.

Sirius turned to look at him and his eyes grew wide.

"Harry? Is it really you? Can you really see me?"

Harry nodded and rushed over to him giving Sirius a big hug.

"How?" Sirius asked. "Are you- You're not...?"

"I'm fine." Harry assured him. "And so are you. You came through a portal last night."

Sirius looked at him, amazed. "I'm alive. I get a second chance. I don't believe it." He laughed, pulling Harry into another hug.

Then, he stopped and pulled away, looking at Harry closely. "There's something I need to tell you."

"What?" Harry asked.

"There was someone with me. I know she'd want me to say hi and that she's all right. She was happy."

Harry smiled, but didn't say anything.

"We spent the last six months together and it was nice but I don't know what happened to her. She begged me not to leave her but it looks like I broke my promise."

"What do you last remember?" Harry asked

"It was right after you guys left the train. Alexa and I were talking then she was in pain and she made me promise to stay with her. That's all I remember."

Alexa smiled from where she was and quietly stepped forward.

"You did keep your promise."

Sirius looked towards her. "Ally?" He asked, breaking into a smile.

Alexa broke into a big smile as she threw herself into his arms.

"I'm so glad you're awake. You're lucky though, Kat and I didn't remember a thing. Even now, some things are iffy."

"Kat?" Sirius asked. "You mean, your sister? She's alive? How?"

Alexa laughed. "As unbelievable as it sounds, it's not that weird. I mean, look at us."

"This is just...."

"Wow?" Alexa finished for him.

"Yes that's the word." Sirius said with a nod of his head. It's just hard to believe."

"Is it?" Alexa asked. "All that we talked about, all that we wished we could've done. We can do it now."

Harry smiled and slowly backed out of the room. As much as he wanted to be with his godfather right now, he knew him and Alexa had to talk. He decided to get his friends so that the two of them could be alone.

"We can can't we?" Sirius said. "I just don't understand some... things.... Why? How?" He looked up to the ceiling as if expecting someone to answer him.

Alexa smiled. "Remember that silly little prophecy?"

He nodded.

"The rest of it has been fulfilled."

"You and your sister." Sirius stated.

Alexa chuckled. "Now why would you assume it was us? I know one is obviously Kat, she came through her own little portal after us, but I don't know if the other one is me or you."

Sirius closed his eyes. When he had woken up, everything was fuzzy to him but the longer he was awake, the more that came back to him and right now, the one thing he had been hiding from her, came back to him.

"It's you, Ally."

He laid his head down on the pillow and pulled her with him, dreading what he would have to say next.

"How do you know?" She asked softly her head on his shoulder.

"Don't hate me for this." He pleaded. "I knew all along you were supposed to come back. I knew all along you were one of the warriors."

"How?" She asked, looking up at his face in disbelief.

"A higher power told me. When you were asleep or with Malfoy, I was with them. I saw other's I wasn't alone like I made you believe I was. I had to say that so you wouldn't get curious. I had to say it so they could keep you isolated. Then when you were sent back it wouldn't be like it was with Buffy."

Alexa struggled against him as he tried to hold her down but he was no match for her Slayer strength. "You mean to tell me the whole time you knew?"

He expected her to be angry to even yell at him. Instead, her voice was tiny and full of hurt. To Sirius, this felt worse. He hung his head in shame.

"Yes, since you first came to Hogwarts."

"What?" She asked, her eyes growing wide in disbelief and shock. "Sirius, you knew this was going to happen before I even died?"

He nodded, to afraid to meet her eyes.

"Why didn't you tell me?" She asked growing hysterical.

"They wouldn't let me." Was his quiet reply.

"How could you?" She screeched. "I willingly gave my life away to help save the world. Then I was isolated, thinking I'd be alone with you forever and never see my family. I sat there day after day, watching everyone, thinking I'd never be able to talk to talk to them, to touch them. And you sat there the whole time listening to me but knowing I'd be back soon. You didn't even have the decency to prepare me for it. I was just dropped back here, not knowing what the hell was going on and thinking it was wrong to be back here, that I really didn't belong."

"I'm sorry." He replied miserably. "But-"

"No." She cut him off. "Save it. You were my friend. You were like a-a father to me after I'd lost my own but then you went and lied to me. How could you?" She asked again, tears streaming down her face.

She didn't wait for an answer, she didn't want to hear another lie coming from his mouth. She turned and fled the hospital wing, slamming the door behind her and running past Harry, Ron, and Hermione, who were on their way in. She ignored them as they called her name, and ran past her to the place she used to find comfort in last time she was alive.


The Gryffindor trio entered the hospital wing and stopped when they saw Sirius with tears streaming down his face. Harry had never seen his Godfather cried and this was just too weird for him.

"Sirius." Hermione exclaimed, running up to him and giving him a hug. She pulled away and looked up at him. "What happened? Alexa just ran past us all upset and you don't look to well yourself."

"Ally's quite upset with me." He whispered. "She got really mad at me."

"You've been awake for half an hour and you already managed to get someone angry with you?" Harry asked. "This must be some kind of record."

Sirius managed a weak smile.

"Sirius, you know, Alexa does have a very bad temper. I'm sure if you give her some time, she'll come back and talk to you." Hermione told him.

"Not this time, Hermione." Sirius sighed.

"What happened?" Hermione asked again.

Sirius looked away. "It's not my place to tell. Perhaps you should find her and talk to her. Just tell her, tell her I'm sorry."

The trio nodded and turned to leave but Harry stopped and turned back.

"Sirius, you're a free man now. Pettigrew-"

"Confessed to everything." Sirius finished for him, this time giving a bigger smile. "I watched everything. Even had a little victory dance. We'll talk later. Just pleased find her."

Harry nodded and the trio left.


For Kat, it was great to be alive again. She had always been a little social butterfly, and where she was before, it was majorly lacking in the social events. Honestly, what kind of party would it be if it was just her and Faith's watcher. She was glad it had only felt like a few months and not a whole year.

Right now, she was having so much fun. It was her 17th birthday and if she thought about it, it really sucked that she had missed her sweet 16 but hey, she had come back from the dead, beggars can't be choosers.

Her sister had left a little while ago with Harry. She worried about them, and after listening to her sister's stories, she hoped Harry wouldn't try anything. She had spent the whole day with Lexi and Draco. The love they had for each other was so obvious and it was so... big. When he was around, that was all Alexa saw and Kat wondered if her sister would forget about her. But that didn't matter at the moment. Right now she was worrying about Alexa and Harry. The love Harry had for her sister was obvious as well. He had been watching her ever since she returned. It was too bad because she thought Harry was a major hottie. She briefly wondered if she could turn his attentions elsewhere, perhaps to her.

Her thoughts were pushed aside as Harry returned, grabbed Ron and Hermione, now that was a cute couple, and left. She figured something important must be going down and decided to ask her sister later about it.

Kat turned back to the people she had been talking to. She had been introduced to so many people that night, she had pretty much forgotten everyone's name but she faked her way through it pretty good. She laughed at a joke someone was telling when she stopped and turned around. Something was wrong with her sister. She always knew when something was wrong. Quickly she excused herself and headed towards the door. She had heard what a jerk Ron was to her last year. She hoped it wasn't him hurting her because if it was, she'd have some serious ass kicking to do.

She reached the portrait and stepped outside only to run into he Gryffindor trio.

"Where's Lexi?" She demanded to know. "Something's wrong with her."

"She's not in there?" Harry asked.

Kat shook her head. "No, why? What happened?" She looked closely at Ron who stepped back under her scrutiny.

"We don't know." Hermione told her.

"Sirius wouldn't tell us either." Ron put in.

"Sirius? He's awake?" Kat asked.

"Yes." Harry replied. "I guess there was an argument while I was gone because Alexa took off and she looked really upset."

"Shit." Kat swore. "I wouldn't even know where to look for her in this ginormous place. Any ideas?"

They all shook their heads.

"I thought she'd come back here." Harry told her.

Kat shook her head this time.

"Ask Draco." Hermione said. "Perhaps he'd know."

"Good idea." Kat went back into the room and found Draco talking to Dawn and her boyfriend. She thought his name was Seamus.

"Draco I need your help." She grabbed his arm. "Lexi's missing."

Immediately, Draco was attentive. "What do you mean?" He asked, thinking back to the time she was kidnapped by Voldemort and tortured for hours before they could rescue her.

Kat, seeing the look on his face and knowing what he was thinking, immediately shook her head. "No, no, not like that. The gist of it is she went to see Sirius and there was an argument and she ran off. No one knows where to look for her."

"I may have an idea." Draco said.

"Me too." Dawn said, stepping forward. "I know she likes the lake, she might be out there."

"Okay, so you and Seamus, right?" Kat asked Dawn's boyfriend.

He nodded.

"Okay, so you and Seamus check out by the lake. Draco and I will go check out his place."

"We'll check our common room and The Great Hall." Harry said.

"Try with Spike too." Kat said.

Everyone nodded and stepped towards the portrait, going different ways once they left.

"Where are we going?" Kat asked.

"Room of Requirement. It's a room that turns into what you need the most."

"Okay."

"What, no quirky comment?" Draco asked.

Kat leveled him with a glare.

"I guess not."

"Look, something's wrong with my sister and I need to get to her."

Draco nodded in understanding. "This really gets to you, you're really protective of her, aren't you?"

Kat answered with steel in her voice. "Nobody hurts my sister. You do and you answer to me. If I were here last year when you and Harry were taking turns being mad at her, I would've fixed it quickly. You'd both be six feet under." Her tone softened. "Lexi's very sensitive. I've spent my whole life looking after her. I wouldn't have it any other way."

"Alexa." Someone called behind them.

Immediately, the teens turned, looking for her.

"Ally, I'm so sorry, you have to let me explain."

It was Sirius, this Kat knew from glancing at him beside Alexa's bed. Sirius came charging down the hall, sweeping her into a hug.

She looked at Draco, bewildered, her eyes begging him to help but he just chuckled.

Kat rolled her eyes before gently trying to get away.

"Excuse me." She began.

"No, please." Sirius said. "There are things you must know and I beg you to hear me out please."

"You may want to save it for my sister." Kat told him with a small smile, finally pulling away from him. It would be a lie to say that she didn't use a little bit of force.

Sirius just looked confused. "Why your sister?"

"Cause that's the one you're looking for maybe."

Sirius stared at her for a moment before it finally dawned on him.

"You're Kat."

She nodded.

"I'm sorry, I just saw you with Malfoy-"

"Draco." She interrupted

"What?"

"His name is Draco."

Sirius nodded. "I just assumed.... Where is Ally?"

"We were just going to find her." Draco said.

"What did you do to her?" Kat asked menacingly. "I know my sister is hurting and I want to know why."

Sirius looked nervous as he looked away. "I'd rather talk to her first, she ran away before I could explain everything."

"You know she's gonna tell me right?" Kat asked, crossing her arms.

"Yes, but I'd rather she hear it first."

Kat stared at him a moment longer before nodding. "Fine, let's go."

They turned and followed Draco.

When they reached the place, the door was there, meaning someone was inside.

"Must be her." Draco said. "Not many people use it."

Kat nodded and stepped forward, only to be stopped by Sirius.

"Let me go, please."

Kat looked up at him, trying to decide what to do. She really wanted to see her sister and make sure she was okay but she knew this was between Lexi and Sirius.

"Fine. Go, but if I hear bad stuff going down, there will be hell to pay."

Sirius stared at her, wide eyed. "You're down right scary." He commented.

Kat allowed herself a small smile. "It's good to know I can scare a full grown man."

"You're sister's not that scary."

"She's the nice one. You would do good to remember that."

Sirius nodded and opened the door, quietly going in and closing the door behind him.

Kat turned to see Draco staring at her.

"What?" She asked.

"You two are very different." Was all he said.

"We are two different people."

"That look alike."

Kat glared. "We're still our own people."

"I don't find you scary."

Kat smiled at him. "I haven't given you a reason to be scared."


Sirius entered the room to see what looked like a combination living room/bedroom. He knew this was the room of requirement but he briefly wondered what this room was to Alexa. He didn't realize he had spoken the question out loud until a voice answered him.

"It's a combination of my old room and living room in Canada."

"It's nice." He replied, turning to see her on the couch.

She was quiet for a moment and Sirius was unsure what to do but then She spoke once more.

"What do you want Sirius? You shouldn't be out of bed."

"You left the hospital wing."

He could imagine her rolling her eyes.

"Hello, Slayer here? As in I heal faster."

"I had to come talk to you." He said, stepping around to the front of the couch.

She glared up at him. "Did you ever think of doing that, oh, I dunno, six months ago, like when I died?"

"That's what I wanted to talk to you about. The Powers didn't want me telling you at first but then I got to know you and you became like a daughter to me, Ally. I wanted tot ell you so bad. I really did, but they told me that if I did, they would take you away from me and I couldn't bear that. I knew you had to come back and I knew that it would be hell but to lose you sooner would've killed me again."

Alexa stared into the fire. "What was the big deal about me knowing? If I knew it would've been easier."

"They feared by letting you be with other's and not isolating you, it would end up like Buffy. You are their new warrior and they didn't want it starting off bad."

Alexa snorted. "Well I think they screwed up there."

Sirius kneeled down in front of her. "Ally, please don't hate me for what happened. At first I was following orders but then you became too important to me."

She turned to him once more, tears in her eyes. "Did you see them? Did you talk to them?"

He sighed before looking away. "Yes." He whispered.

"Bastard." She spat out, slapping him across the face. No matter how angry she was, she wouldn't use her full strength but it was still hard enough to leave an imprint on his cheek.

"How can you stand there and tell me how sorry you are when what I really wanted was to see my family again. You knew that yet you still got to see them. How do you expect me to forgive you?"

"You're right, I don't." He stood. "I don't deserve your forgiveness. But I am sorry Ally, I really am. Maybe what I did was for selfish reasons but I'd rather you have known nothing and stayed with me, then to have known everything and been left alone."

He went to leave, feeling like he had lost the girl who had become like a daughter to him.

"Sirius?" She called as his hand reached for the doorknob. "Why did you come back? Did you know that would happen to?"

"No, I wasn't meant to come back."

"Then how are you here."

"You begged me not to leave you, perhaps that bounded me to you."

She was silent and he turned back to the door, wondering if she no longer wanted him around, he would die again.

"Sirius." She choked out. "I-I still don't want you to leave me."

Relief flooded through him as he walked back to the couch and sat beside her.

"I just- I feel so weird and everything is so-"

He put an arm around her, pulling her close.

"I'm happy I'm back, I really am. Everything is just so... different."

She started sobbing and Sirius hugged her, letting her cry it all out.
