Anywho, read on.....

"Okay, so that's twice someone has come to the door but they've stopped both times." Kat said, narrowing her eyes at the door.

"Right, and you know this how?" Draco asked. "I haven't heard a thing."

"I have Slayer hearing, smart guy. So, I guess they'll be awhile. Let's play a game."

Draco looked at her as though she had gone crazy. "A game? You want to play a game?"

Hat nodded. "Yup. It's called Truth, I'll start. Do you plan on pursuing a relationship with my sister again?"

Draco stared at her, marveling at the fact that he was no longer surprised by her bluntness. "Where did that come from?"

"My curious mind." She replied. "So, answer the question."

"I really don't think that it is any of your business."

"I do." She replied with a fake smile. "Cause if you do and you hurt her again, I will hurt you."

A sneer crossed Draco's features. "Look, Kat. You're sister is a big girl, she knows how to take care of herself."

"Maybe so." Kat replied with a sneer of her own. "But when that boyfriend that cheated on her, wants to get back together with her, I tend to worry."

"First off, I didn't cheat on her. I never would and we worked it out before she...she left. Secondly, as I said before, your sister can make her own decisions."

"Obviously not the right ones if she ended up with you."

"Look, Conners, I don't see what your problem is, but maybe you should Butt out."

"Look, Malfoy-"

"Don't call me that." He snapped.

Kat's mouth formed an O as she stared at him, a knowing glint coming to her eyes.

"So, someone's not liking his name, huh, Malfoy?" She watched as he winced and became angrier.

"I told you not to call me that." He whispered threatingly.

"Wow, someone's a bit touchy and I can't help but wonder why."

"Mind your own business Conners."

Kat gave him an evil grin. "Perhaps this is what you've been hiding from my sister."

"I'm not-"

"Uh uh uh, Malfoy." She said, stressing his name, while shaking a finger at him. "I know all about it, my sister tells me everything. Perhaps we should tell her-"

"Tell me what?" Alexa asked, opening the door.

Her eyes were red and puffy. Behind her, Sirius wasn't faring much better.

Kat smirked at Draco before turning to her sister. "Tell you that we're missing a kick ass party. We were just debating who should knock on the door to make sure you were alright."

Alexa looked at Kat's face, which was looking too innocent, then she turned and caught Draco's flushed angry looking face.

Alexa sighed. "You may be a good liar Kat but not around me. If I didn't know better, I'd think you're bullshitting me."

"And if I didn't know better, I'd think you shouldn't be swearing." Sirius said behind her.

"Yes, Father." Alexa sarcastically replied, rolling her eyes.

"Kat started laughing. "That's hilarious."

Alexa gave her a fake smile. "Bite me."

"Everything cool?" Kat asked the two at the door.

They nodded.

"Well, we have a party to get back to, not everyday we turn 17."

Alexa laughed and they all went back to their room.

It was happening again, just like before:

"Avada Kedavra."

"NO." She screamed, lifting her sword and stopping right in front of Lucius.

She brought the sword down, making a clean cut, the same time as the bright green light hit her.

"That tickles." She told him as the green light enveloped her. "Bet yours didn't though, huh?"

Lucius face had broken into a grin until he realized that Alexa was still talking and that she had did something to him in return.

His grin stayed in place as Alexa watched with sick fascination as his head fell off the rest of his body and bounced to the ground rolling away. Then she watched as his body slumped to the ground.

Finally she was able to turn herself away as she turned to Draco, who was staring in awe.

"What?" She said.

"You're still standing." Draco whispered. "You were just hit by the killing curse and you're still standing. You're still alive."

Alexa looked down at herself, amazed. "Huh. Guess I am."

She crumpled to the ground.

Alexa sat straight up in bed, unsure of where she was. She looked around and saw her sister sleeping peacefully beside her, and it all came rushing back.

Slowly, she got out of bed and tiptoed out of her room and into the common room, where Sirius was sleeping on the couch.

Harry had wanted his godfather to be near him but since Harry was in the Gryffindor tower, that would've proven difficult. Dumbledore had offered Sirius his own room but He had declined saying that if he couldn't be near Harry, he wanted to at least be near Alexa. So now he was on the couch, tomorrow, Dumbledore was adding on an extra room and another bed in Alexa's room.

Now, Alexa leaned over him. "Sirius?" She whispered.

Immediately, he opened his eyes and sat straight up, ready as if he was waiting to be attacked. Alexa put her hands on her hips.

"Since when were you a light sleeper?" She asked

"Always have been." He replied with a cheeky grin.

"All those times when I snuck off to see Draco but checked to see if you were sleeping?"

He nodded. "I was awake."

She glared at him. "You suck."

His smile grew. "What's wrong?"

She shrugged, dropping her arms. "I had a bad dream."

"Really?"

She nodded. "Yeah, I had it earlier today, too."

Sirius moved over so she could sit down beside him.

"Where's your sister?" He asked.

"Still sleeping, I didn't want to wake her."

"But it's okay to wake me?" He gently teased her.

"I'm sorry, I just don't want to go back to sleep right now."

"What happened?"

Alexa gave an involuntary shudder. "The battle last year. I keep seeing myself kill Lucius and when he shot the killing curse at me. I wake up so freaked out."

"Why, because you see yourself dying?"

She shook her head. "No because I killed him. I- I chopped of his head, I took a human life."

"Is it really bothering you a lot?" Sirius asked, concerned.

She nodded, tears coming to her eyes. "It never bothered me before this, where we were but now, twice in one day. Sirius, I killed someone."

"But you were doing it in self defense. He threw the curse at you first."

Alexa looked up at him. "I think I would've done it regardless and that's what really bother me."

"Why?"

"Because he was threatening Draco. He was going to kill Draco and I couldn't stand losing him forever. I didn't care that we were no longer together. I would've given my life to protect him, and I did."

"Don't you see Ally? There is a reason you did that. You had to; otherwise it would've been both you and Draco dead. If you didn't get rid of Lucius, he would've just come back for him at another time and your sacrifice would've been for nothing.

Alexa was silent as she pondered over what Sirius had said.

"Lucius Malfoy was a horrible person, thing, whatever he was. Almost as bad as Voldemort himself, right?"

She rolled her eyes as Sirius winced before nodding.

"You know what?" She said. "I'm going to tattoo that name to everyone's forehead so when they look in the mirror, they'll see the name and maybe get used to it and not freak out over some stupid name.

"Aren't you just a barrel of laughs." Sirius commented dryly.

"I crack myself up, but seriously, if Lucius was so bad, then why do I feel guilty?" Her voice cracked, too overwhelmed with guilt.

"Ally."

When she didn't look up, Sirius reached over and lifted her chin, forcing her to look at him.

"Ally, it's only normal that you fell bad. You have a good heart. You're a good person and it shows through more when I see how this affects you. I don't doubt that this will hurt for awhile but trust me when I say that what you did was not all horrible."

Alexa looked at him in dismay. "I took a human life. Buffy always said that our powers are never meant for that."

"Ally, you're in the middle of a war. Not with demons. Or vampires, or whatever else your meant to slay, but with humans. The kind that don't care if they take your life away."

She shook her head, as they both grew silent.

Finally Alexa sighed and laid her head on his shoulder.

"You must be so annoyed with me. First I get all mad at you, then I cry all over you, then I wake you up cause I had such a bad dream."

"I'm not annoyed with you. I'm happy you're not mad and happy you came to me."

"No one but you knows what I've been through. You watched it all and were there after, no one else was. Everyone here saw what I went through while I was alive but that's it. Kat has no idea either way. You're the only one who knows both."

"That's true." He admitted.

"Sirius, what's going to happen now? Are you going back to your home?"

Sirius sighed. "I really don't want to go back there. My name is cleared though, so I could probably find a new place."

"So you're leaving?"

Sirius could tell it upset her.

"Well I did promise not to leave you."

"That was before." She said quietly. "When we were all alone. But now, others are here, I'm sure you want to get on with your life. You don't have to worry about some stupid promise you made to a teenager when there was nothing else to do."

"Hey." Sirius said, his tone stern. "I didn't make a stupid promise and you're not just some teenager. You and I, we've been through a lot together. I don't care if it was a promise made in death, it carried over into life. If you don't want me to leave, then I won't."

"I don't want to hold you back." She whispered.

"Alexa, tell me the truth, what do you really want?"

It took her a few moments to answer and when she did it was in a small voice. "I want you to stay, I don't want to be left alone yet."

"You're not alone." He gently reminded her. "You have all your friends here."

"Yeah, my friends." She repeated hollowly.

"But I won't leave until you're good and ready. You and I are a team. No one else can say they've been dead together and brought back together. We're one up on Buffy and Kat, aren't we Ally?"

She didn't answer.

"Ally?"

He looked down to see she had fallen asleep.

"This is beyond stupid." Kat yelled, glaring at the feather she had just blown up.

"No, it's beyond funny." Alexa laughed, taking in her sister's singed hair and eyebrows.

Reaching over, she plucked her wand from Kat's hand and pointed it at her.

"What are you doing?" Kat asked, her eyed growing wide.

Alexa laughed again. "Relax, I'm not going to hex you, I'm just going to clean you up a little."

Kat clenched her eyes tight, slowly opening them when he sister had finished and closely inspected the tips of her hair. Alexa was busy transfiguring another muggle pencil into a feather.

"Why do you keep doing that?" Kat asked. "Why don't we just work with the pencils?"

Alexa raised an eyebrow at her sister. "You're kidding, right? Girl, that was the fifth feather you blew up. I'm not letting you near anything that can hurt."

"Right, the explosions didn't hurt at all." Kat grumbled. "How many feathers did you blow up?"

Alexa shrugged, "None."

"Then I suck."

"No, a lot of it probably has to do with my wand. Wands are usually meant for one person. You can use others but you won't get the same results. Just wait, once you have yours, you'll do great."

"Maybe I'm not even a witch. Apparently you were all special, one of a kind and stuff. Maybe I don't have it."

"I was one of a kind when you weren't here but that's the thing about us, Kit Kat. We're two of a kind. Dumbledore sees it in you so trust me when I say it's there."

"My, my, aren't we the little pep talker." Kat remarked.

"Yay me, full of pep. Look, we have to get to Potions. You'll do fine in that class." She said off of her sister's look.

Getting up, Alexa pulled her sister to her feet and grabbed her books. Kat held the door open and they left the room.

"How many this time?" Sirius asked from his position on the couch, reading the Daily Prophet.

"Five." Alexa replied.

"Any luck?"

She vigourosly shook her head.

"Might have to wait until she gets her wand. Don't want to blow the whole place up." He said with a smile.

"You know, if I had a wand and I could use it, I'd give you purple dotted skin." Kat told him with a scowl.

Sirius just laughed. "Let's hope you can never use it then. Class now?"

"Yup." Alexa replied. "We're going to Potions. We don't need a wand for that one."

Sirius grimaced but said nothing, knowing Alexa would just defend the Potions master anyway. But that was Alexa for you; she saw the good in everyone.

"What are you doing?" Alexa asked.

"Dumbledore should be here soon, he's going to add on another room here."

"Awesome." Alexa replied with a smile as they continued out the door.

It was two day's after the twin's birthday and they were starting their classes that day. Kat was in all of Alexa's classes and was being tutored by her sister, Hermione, and supposedly Draco, although it seemed to her that Draco avoided her as much as possible. Not that she could blame him. She was being a world class bitch but when it came to protecting Alexa, well, Draco would just have to deal with it and if he couldn't' then he wasn't worthy of her sister and good riddance to him.

Alexa on the other hand seemed clueless about it despite the fact they all shared one little dormitory. Neither Draco nor Kat said anything to her and they acted normal when they were both with her.

The day after their birthday, Kat was called to Dumbledore's office. She came back and told Alexa that she was just to follow her around. When Alexa had asked if she had been sorted, Kat shrugged saying it wouldn't matter anyway because she wouldn't be going to that house. Alexa briefly wondered if she was in fact sorted but ended up somewhere that wasn't Gryffindor. It didn't really matter to her though, Kat stayed with her all the time anyway.

"So we're going to Potions huh?" Kat asked.

Alexa nodded. "That we are."

"Alexa I don't want you to feel you have to stick with me. If you want to sit with Draco when we get there, I'm okay with that."

"Are you sure?" Alexa asked her face looking worried. "I don't want to abandon you."

"It's fine." Kat reassured her. "Besides I'm gonna try and sit next to Harry."

"Ohhh, I think someone's got a crush."

Kat rolled her eyes. "Whatever. So Sirius is staying then?"

"Yes." Alexa said with a smile. "He's probably getting a job here too. Dumbledore said he's find him something."

"That's cool."

Alexa squealed as someone put their arms around her waist. She spun around and came face to face with Draco.

"Two questions mister. How the hell did you sneak up on us and how did you know it was me?"

Draco grinned placing a kiss on the tip of her nose. "I just know and you're not he only one with special powers."

As soon as the words left his mouth, he silently cursed himself.

Alexa was jolted by the words and she stared at Draco with narrowed eyes.

"What?" He asked nervously.

She slightly shook her head.

"Nothing." She replied. looking down at her books. "Y'know what? I forgot something for class, I'll be right back." She left to go back to her room.

Draco turned to see Kat smirking. He brought back his old sneer as he stared her down.

"What are you smirking at?" He asked.

"Almost let something slip, huh Drakie boy?"

"Shut your mouth you filthy little mudblood." Draco turned on his heel and stomped away.

Kat let out a low whistle. "Guess I pissed someone off."

"Who?" Harry asked, coming up behind her.

Kat spun around and gave him a big smile. "Draco, he just called me a filthy little mudblood.

Harry stared at her a moment before slowly nodding. "I take it you're Kat."

"Good one. Doubt he'd be calling my sister that anytime son."

"He has." Harry said with a faint smile. Probably won't do it now. So why did he call you that?"

Kat shrugged, feigning ignorance. "No idea. Alexa went back to her room and he went all psycho on me."

"Are you going to tell your sister?"

"Tell me what?" Alexa asked from behind them. "Where's Draco? Hi Harry."

Kat shrugged. "He had to get something as well. We should go too. Harry was kind enough to wait and walk with us." Kat said, linking arms with him.

"Awww. How sweet." Alexa said grabbing his other arm.

The twins laughed as Harry became bright red.

"And how cute." The both said, making him go redder.

They dragged him to the Potions classroom where Harry gently untangled himself before going in.

Alexa entered first, going directly to where Draco was and sat down, leaving Kat and Harry staring open mouthed.

"Wow." Kat whispered. "She just- I mean I thought she would-" She turned to Harry. "Will you sit with me?"

Harry nodded, staring at Alexa in disbelief. He couldn't believe she would just leave her sister. The two took a seat just as Snape entered.

"Ah, I see the famous Conners twins have decided to finally grace us with their presence." He said, sneering at both girls. He had no idea who was who until the one beside Potter spoke up.

"My, my, aren't we the snide one. Is somebody jealous?"

The Gryffindors hid their smiles, all except the other twin who was openly laughing. Snape turned to her.

"So I guess that would make you the new addition to our school."

The twin he was talking to laughed harder. "Nice try, Professor but I told you she was worse then me."

Snape stared at her then at the other one.

"You both will stay in these seats for the rest of the year. You will not sit together and you will not switch places. Understood?"

"And you're going to tell that we've switched, how?" The one beside Potter, Kat, asked.

"By putting a permanent silencing charm on you, so not only will my class be quieter and free from your insolent remarks but I will know who you are by the one who isn't able to talk."

Kat glared up at him. "Yeah? Would like to see you try, you overgrown greased up gorilla."

"That will be ten points from your house Ms. Conners."

Kat stuck her tongue out at him. "I don't even have a house."

"Ah, but you do. The Headmaster has made me aware that you have been sorted so ten points will be taken."

Kat slumped back into her seat. "I don't even care." She pouted.

Draco nudged Alexa. "She was sorted?"

Alexa shrugged her shoulders. "I had a feeling she was but she just told me that there was no point in her being sorted, she just planned on following me around."

"Do you think she was sorted somewhere besides Gryffindor and she's pissed?"

"That's what I was thinking. But which house?"

Draco didn't say anything but he had a feeling it was Slytherin. She honestly wasn't nice enough to be put into Hufflepuff though he would never tell Alexa that. And to him, it seemed Alexa was the smarter one so that knocked out Ravenclaw, unless you counted her cleverness at winding him up whenever Alexa wasn't around. No, he had a feeling she was in Slytherin and although it was his house, the thought of Kat being cunning, ambitious and craving power, disturbed him a great deal more then it should have after knowing her for only a few days.

"Today, we will be working on a strength potion. One that is supposed to make the drinker stronger." Snape was saying up front.

Beside him, Alexa burst into another round of giggles.
