Hey everyone, I'm back and I'm sorry this chapter is a little short, but school has been taking most of my time along with Drill Team. I'll try to update soon and I hope you like my story and keep reading! Gah, also most of you voted for Sirius and Aiden to get back together soon, I guess this would be ok but… let me think about how the ending would be, but I'll really consider all of you. Now, one of you asked what happened last chapter and I guess I didn't make it clear enough. Okay, Aiden joins the Order of the Phoenix and Professor Dumbledore gives her a mission to seduce Lucius Malfoy and so, in order to do this, she looses her virginity to Vincent and seduces Malfoy and gets a lot of info from him (which meant she slept with him also). And then Keira goes missing, that about sums it up.

The best and worst happened in May. Lily and James had finally got engaged and Sirius was being his usual idiot self, but most importantly, Keira Vega stuck out in my mind the most. Her long black hair and brown eyes, her sweet nature and caring being. She was one of my best friends and I couldn't even help her.

James smiled down at Lily and kissed her softly, "Lily, we've known each other for years and I've chased you through most of them, but you always turned me away until this year, and I want to make sure your mine forever. Lily Evans, will you make me the happiest man alive and marry me?"

Lily's mouth dropped as James said those words and pulled out a simple gold band with a

perfectly cut diamond on it and she threw her arms around him, tears escaping her eyes as she said 'yes' over and over again. James smiled and pulled her apart before kissing her softly.

Aiden heard urgent thumping on her bedroom door and she groaned. She groggily got up and walked towards the door and opened it. There was Professor Dumbledore, looking pale as ever, "Miss Ballard, something terrible has happened, Miss Vega is missing."

Aiden felt her lungs tighten up as she couldn't breath. She pushed the man aside and ran towards Gryffindor Tower and hissed the password and ran inside, ignoring the weird looks thrown at her from younger years. She ran up towards the Marauder's room and banged the door in. She opened it to see everyone leisurely on there bed. She growled, 'how could they be so settled when she's missing? The damn Gryffindor's…' She searched threw James trunk and shoved Peter aside, throwing him a dirty look before spreading out the map and urgently looking. She crumpled it up and threw it to the other side of the room, crying helplessly on the floor. James sat down next to her and picked her into his arms and cradled her, "What's wrong Aiden?"

Aiden looked at everyone who nodded and made there exit, all except a rat who hid in the corner, unnoticed, "Keira's missing James! Dumbledore came straight to me but I had to make sure she was safe but she's not! This is my entire fault!"

James hushed her and rocked her to sleep. James placed her on his bed while he gingerly picked up the map and looked at it. There was Peter talking to the groups of Slytherin again and he furrowed his brows, 'what's happened?' he sighed and looked over to Aiden who was in an uneasy sleep and he pulled the covers out and placed him arm around her waist and she immediately softened. He looked at her carefully and furrowed his brows, 'when was the last time Aiden had me take care of her? Far too long.'

"A Vega, I'm glad you brought her here. She will be an interesting addition to the tortures, be sure to get all she knows out of her. Send her away."

Aiden hid behind a dark wall and peeked to see the dark man sitting on his thrown. She felt anger inside her again but she couldn't strike, he'd surely have her killed. She watched them take a beaten girl with raven black hair and dull brown eyes down a corridor. She bit her lip, should she follow? She decided to go for it and slipped in between the shadows down the corridors after the black robbed wizards. "What should we do to her first? Use the Cruciatus curse? Or have a little fun?"

Aiden sucked in a breath and tried to cover her mouth but one of the wizards heard her. She tried to pinch herself, willing herself to wake up but it wasn't working. He nodded to the others who closed the door and he slammed Aiden into the wall. She whimpered slightly and he took another look at her, "Ballard?"

Aiden swallowed and tried to shrug the man off but it wasn't any good. He pressed his body into hers, making her stay put as he pulled the hood down and reveled her 6th year student. She gasped in shock and shook her head, "No, no, no, no you can't be one of them."

Regulus Black flushed and looked away, slightly ashamed, "You shouldn't be here Professor."

Aiden growled, "Its Ballard here. What are you doing wasting your life away? I helped you in the Dark Arts and now, now you're…you're a murderer?"

Regulus growled and shoved her against the wall, making her wince at the sharp pain in her back. "Look, this has nothing to do with you, just get out of here. I don't know why you followed, I'll be sure to keep Vega safe."

Aiden growled back at him, "Keira in a Death Eater chamber being tortured is safe? And it has all to do with me! Tom has targeted me and I'm not going to sit back and watch him kill my best friend!"

Regulus softened his eyes but his body was rougher then ever, "You need to leave Ballard, I will make you!"

Aiden flushed with anger and Regulus had to look away, but before she knew it, she heard a soft voice, 'Aiden, Aiden! Wake up!'

Aiden's eyes widened and she blinked several times to see the blurred image of three people. She rubbed her eyes and tried to sit up. A hand on her back steadied her and she looked around to see it was still dark out and three figures, "James?"

James rubbed her back and she sighed, "I need to go to Dumbledore, I might not be back for a couple of days."

She hugged him tightly and got up, gently hugging Remus, "Take care of the girls; watch them carefully."

He nodded and then she hesitated but hugged Sirius, "Be careful yourself, and be good."

She broke the hug quickly and walked out of the room and down the stairs. She took one look at the stairs leading up to the girl's dorm and exited the Tower; she needed to find Dumbledore now.

James looked at the Head Table and saw the neither McGonagall, Dumbledore, or Aiden was there. He saw everyone was in there normal seats, but the Slytherin's looked proud of themselves. He growled and looked over to Peter who was eating, unaffected like everyone else, 'maybe Peter is innocent.'

He shrugged it off and went about his day, only to find that Transfigurations was cancelled and he was definitely worried, what would make McGonagall cancel class? He sighed and sat through Potions, not caring if he burned a hole in his cauldron or even if Professor Slughorn gave him detention. He walked out and in his room, thinking of all the possibilities of what was going on, and one thought stuck out above the rest, Voldemort.

Sirius watched James carefully; he wasn't sure why he was so worried anyways. He rolled his eyes as Severus Snape came and followed Remus and him down the halls. He nodded for Remus to go up while Sirius glared at the pale boy, "What do you want Snivellus?"

Snape narrowed his eyes but smirked like a true Slytherin, "Just wondering where you and Lupin will be going tonight."

Sirius growled and that was the last straw, "Why don't you see for yourself. Tonight go to go down to the whomping (sp?) willow? There's a secret passage way from there…."

Sirius went on the tell Snape about the shrieking shack and was proud to see the note of interest in Snape's eyes and he walked off, thinking he got the better deal. Sirius grinned though; this would teach Snape to leave them alone once and for all.

Aiden sat calmly as the Order meeting was taking place. She had sat up straight in the chair and folded her hands neatly on her skirt as she watched Dumbledore fidget in his seat. She felt an urge to slap the old man, he was a wreck and she knew as much as he did that the light was failing. She looked around at the Order members watched in silence between the silent exchange between Aiden and Dumbledore and to say in the least, she was annoyed. "Can we start the meeting soon?"

Dumbledore nodded and stood up, clearing his throat clearly while everyone's eyes were on him, "Yesterday, Miss Keira Vega had gone missing. We do not have any information on this, so if anyone has any leads to where Miss Vega had disappeared to, please let us know now."

The auror, Alastor Moody, stood up and nodded, "I was in the bathroom at the ministry when I heard some voices speaking about the girl. They said that Voldemort wanted something to do with her but that was all they said. I couldn't catch who it was."

Dumbledore nodded and sighed. Then, Aiden stood up, "Well, I may have a lead. I had my mission and had gathered information from Lucius Malfoy. He is the Dark Lord's right hand man and they had been having there weekly meetings at a graveyard someplace, he passed out before I could gather any more information."

Dumbledore nodded and everyone looked around, wondering if there was anything else needed to say but there wasn't. Dumbledore looked over at the clock that now said '4:00' which meant all classes were over. He sighed and got up, "This meeting is over, go do whatever you please."

He was off with a pop along with others but Aiden stayed, seemingly in a staring contest with Alastor Moody. She smirked and he narrowed his eyes. When they were alone, he stood up, "Come with me. Now."

He grabbed her arm and apparated out of there into an apartment. She looked around, seeing the couch and coffee table and lots of book shelves, "This must be your place."

He only nodded, "You have information that you're holding back on. Spill."

Aiden smirked, "You don't miss a thing, do you? Well, I was hoping I'd get to speak with you; I first want to say that I am going somewhere tonight and I don't need the other members screwing it over or breathing down my neck. I need someone good in Defense and have great logic."

Moody raised an eyebrow and Aiden continued, "But I don't know if you'll comply. Being a faithful Order member and all, you would want them to know, but the idiocy of some people, I don't even trust Dumbledore with this information because he is already a nervous wreck, I don't need a baby sitter."

Moody sighed in defeat, "I'll do what you want tonight; just tell me your information."

Aiden narrowed her eyes and took a step towards him, "This must not leave this room into the ears of others. I've protected this secret for far too long. Now, tonight I am going to go to the Death Eaters hideout, I had dreams about them. It's a dark curse that Voldemort had put on my father and the genes were passed on to me. I need backup and you're the wittiest one I know, being an auror. Get ready, read up on spells, I don't care, but be ready by midnight, it's when they meet."

Aiden turned and apparated off, leaving a thoughtful auror behind. He sighed, "She's right, Dumbledore would baby her. I need some coffee."

It was almost dark and Remus had already gone to the shrieking shack accompanied by Dumbledore and Madam Promfrey. Sirius lagged behind and let out a bark laugh in the common room, "Snivellus is going to have a nice shock!"

Lily snapped her head up at this and her eyes narrowed, "What are you going on about you old hound?"

Sirius ignored her while he looked over at James who had confusion written all over his face, "I told Snape to go to the whomping willow to teach him a lesson about messing with us."

Robyn gawked and stood up, slapping Sirius in the back of the head. He whimpered like a puppy and held his head, "WHAT THE F—DID YOU DO?"

Sirius swallowed and looked up at the enraged girl in front of him and he shrunk down into the chair, maybe it wasn't such a good idea after all. Before he could answer, but Lily and Robyn turned to James, "You have to go and help him James!"

James hesitated before standing up, "I guess no one deserves to have his life endangered. I'll be back."

He walked swiftly out of the room, glad to be out of the hysteric girl's way. He did slightly feel sorry for Sirius though. He opened the doors and saw Snape had crawled through the bottom of the tree and his eyes widened in fear as he ran off and tried to dodge the tree, but it just swapped him hard and he groaned on the floor. He crawled through, dodging branches here and there and finally pressed the hook on the tree and crawled through, his arm twitching. He was halfway through when he heard a howl and a cry of distress and his blood rush as he transformed into a stag and hit Snape out of the way and he ran from the shack without a second glance. James was left to take care of an angry Remus who muttered 'blood, flesh; must tear!' in his wolf language.

Robyn and Lily waited out of the whomping willow while Sirius had gone to fetch the Headmaster. Robyn was nervously pacing while Lily bit on her nails. Severus Snape emerged and ran towards the castle, but not before Robyn grabbed onto his collar and whispered dangerously, "I swear, you mutter a word about tonight and I will personally see to it that you are castrated so you and Keira would never have children. And I mean never!"

She hissed the last part out and Snape fell to the floor, shaking in fear and nodding his head, not wanting to anger the girl and wanting to get out of there. But he was stopped when Dumbledore came out with a sorry looking Sirius and Snape's blood boiled. "You! You knew about this and I was about to be killed! I mean, sending me to a bloody werewolf! You must be out of your mind!"

Dumbledore gave him one look and he immediately shut his mouth, "Mr. Snape, I don't believe this is the worst of your problems at the moment. Now listen, that werewolf was Mr. Lupin and if you breathe a word of this, you will be expelled, do you hear me?" Snape nodded in shock and Dumbledore continued, "I see Mr. Potter has saved you."

Snape turned around and a bloody and battered James Potter came out while Lily ran over, making a fuss over him. Snape swallowed and he knew the rules, he was in debt to Potter for saving his life. He turned back to Dumbledore who sighed, "Then, there is another matter I must discuss. I regret to say, Miss Vega disappeared last night and we are doing all we can to find her."

Snape's heart sunk, was that why Voldemort didn't want the Slytherin's in tonight's meeting? He took Keira from him? He swallowed hard and looked to see Sirius and James looking quite upset but other then that, quite affected while Lily and Robyn were upset. Snape narrowed his eyes at the two boys, "You knew this?"

Robyn, Lily and Dumbledore looked shocked but quickly recovered and watched the discussion between the boys, "Aiden came up to the dorm yesterday crying and told us. She fell asleep and left this morning. We didn't want to worry Lily or Robyn because what if she just sneaked off somewhere."

Snape growled dangerously and looked over at Dumbledore, "You better find her or else!"

Snape stalked off and Dumbledore sighed, "I should have told the poor boy first."

Aiden and Alastor Moody made there way through the trees near Malfoy Manor and they stopped when they heard voices in the distance. Alastor covered himself with Aiden's invisibility cloak while she climbed a tree with thick leaves. She looked down and saw several death eaters walking by, "I wonder what the Dark Lord wants with Vega; she's been in his chambers for quite a while."

Another shook his head, "Vega's father went to school with the Dark Lord and to save him and his wife, he told the Dark Lord that he could have his child who is there at the moment."

Aiden let out a gasp and the death eaters pulled there wands out while trying to figure out where it came from. She bit her lip and saw a couple of trees away that a crow flew out the tree and the death eaters laughed, "We're just being paranoid. A stupid bird was all."

As they kept walking, there voices were mumbled. When she was sure they were out of seeing distance, she jumped down and Alastor pulled the cloak off and they continued on there way towards Malfoy Manor.

They slipped through an open window and covered themselves with the cloak as they slowly made there way through the halls. Aiden saw a familiar portrait and nodded right and they slowly walked over. The door opened and a death eater stepped out just enough for them to slip through.

There, a black lump was sprawled out in the middle and Aiden swallowed hard as they walked over. Aiden turned her over and saw the lifeless brown eyes that were always filled with emotion and she let out a sob. She threw the cloak off and hugged her friend tightly and cried softly while Alastor watched the exchange. He sighed and put a hand on Aiden's shoulder, "We can apparate her from here to St. Mungo's."

Aiden nodded and he held both of there hands and apparated off. When they got there, healers all crowed around them and took Keira to a room. Aiden sat down on a chair and cried onto Alastor Moody's shoulder while he patted her back softly, trying to calm the girl.

Thank you to all of my reviewers and I'll try to update sooner!

Hugs and Kisses,
