Chapter One: Rude Awakenings

Sirius awoke slowly, yawning widely as he blinked sleep out of his eyes. Slowly he rolled over and looked at the alarm clock on the night stand, 10:30am read in bright numbers. He must have forgotten to set the alarm clock last night. About to roll over and go back to sleep he was suddenly stopped by the smell of coffee and pancakes. Throwing off the covers, Sirius got out of bed and walked out his bedroom door slowly, stumbling occasionally.

Peering into the kitchen Sirius saw his girlfriend of almost three years humming softly as she prepared breakfast. Her thick dark hair flowed to about the middle of her back complementing her perfect figure. She had big blue eyes that would rival Albus Dumbledore's, naturally tanned skin from her fathers multiracial background, and at the moment the only thing covering her five foot five frame was a long t-shirt of Sirius's that he hadn't seen in years.

"Hey Sleeping Beauty, it's about time you got up." Kayli said not looking up from the pancakes she was flipping.

"Well it's the funniest thing, my alarm clock shut it self off last night, I'm not sure now," he dipped his finger into her pancake batter, "but it seemed to have had some help." He smiled wiping the batter across her nose.

"Hey! This is your breakfast!" She giggled wiping a glob of batter on his bare chest. "And I see you had the decency to wear a shirt.

"This is coming from someone who is not wearing any pants."

"Oh shut it, I'm the one making breakfast" She laughed

Sirius seeing this as a losing argument and unwilling to admit it, wrapped his arms around Kayli's waste and put his chin between her shoulder and neck, kissing her slowly.

"Is this your way of admitting defeat, or are you kissing me because you can't contain your love any longer?" Kayli asked with a perfectly strait face, but it was obvious she was trying not to laugh.

"You know me all to well," Replied Sirius before planting another kiss on her neck," What's all this for anyway?"

"Tonight is the Annual Aurors Banquet you dolt," she laughed, where they will be announcing that you have gotten the Junior Head Position."

Every year the entire Magical Law Enforcement branch of the Ministry held a huge banquet to honor all the new aurors. All the individual offices would announce who their newest members were. Tactics and Strategists often went first; usually followed by the high ranking field agents, and finally then they would announce who the new heads of office were. Aurors who had been there longer than eighteen months could apply for any of the junior positions, and anyone with at least three years experience could apply for the senior positions. Sirius who had only been named an official auror a year and a half ago barely made the cut to apply for junior office.

If he got the job his promotion would include a nice salary increase an office not just a cubical, and would only be two positions away from head auror.

"I forgot about that." said Sirius as he walked to get a cup of coffee.

"You liar, this is all you've been talking about for the past month."

"Oh right"

Kayli took two plates down from the cabinet, and loaded them both with pancakes. After placing them on the table she sat down and motioned for Sirius to join her.

"You had better eat all of those Si, I was up all morning trying to get them into that lovely star shape."

Sirius rolled his eyes at his name sake before devouring his breakfast. The remainder of the morning passed by without a hitch, Sirius cleared the table with a flick of his wand while Kayli muttered something about him becoming domesticated.

"I have not been domesticated" He gasped dramatically.

"Si you fold your dirty clothes when you think no one is watching."

After the exchange of a few more insults Sirius grabbed Kayli around the waist and swung her over his shoulder.

"What are you doing!" she cried laughing pounding on his back. This apart from making Sirius laugh uncontrollably led him to take her in to his bathroom, turn on the shower full blast, and before Kayli realized what was happening, he let her down in to a cool rush of water.

"Damn you Sirius!"

She laughed stepping out of the shower. He was leaning calmly against the door frame trying not to laugh.

"You done yet, some of us do have places to be?" he stated innocently.

Thirty minutes and two showers later, the couple were fully dressed and ready to meet the future Potters for some early afternoon celebrating. Sirius was wearing a pair of loose jeans, white sneakers, and a brown shirt that had the name of a muggle band across it. His hair was gelled back giving him a rugged look only he could have achieved. Kayli was wearing a pair of tight blue jeans that Sirius loved, a brown sweater, and a pair of brown stiletto boots.

"Why do you insist in wearing those things everywhere you go? "Sirius asked gesturing to her shoes.

"I hate being so much shorter than you," she laughed "Height is such an unfair advantage."

It was true Sirius had a good seven inches over his girlfriend, but he wasn't about to admit to her that she could make any man back down when she was angry.

"Come on lets just go before we are late again." Kayli said gesturing to her watch.

"I'm coming I just left my wand in the bedroom"

Kayli rolled her eyes at her boyfriend and check her watch again, it was getting late and they were supposed to be meeting Lily, James, and Remus soon. Peter had declined the invitation he hadn't said what he was doing just that he was busy with something. Maybe she and Sirius would stop by and see him later Kayli though to her self.

"Sirius Black I am going to leave here without you if you don't hurry your butt up!" There was a pause as she waited for a response from Sirius, but one never came.

"Sirius." She said crossing the room towards the hall to the bedroom.

"Si."

"Found it!" Sirius announced walking out of the bedroom. "What's wrong"

"Nothing, are you ready to go we're five minutes late as is"

"Yeah" he said putting his arm around her waist, walking out of the door and down the stairs of the apartment complex. They walked in to a small dimly lit hallway and each took out their wands to apparate.

"Crap" muttered Sirius checking his pockets.

"What now?" Sighed Kayli.

"My wallet is still in my other pants. You go ahead and meet them I'll be there in a minute."

"Alright, see you soon" said Kayli as she kissed Sirius on the cheek. Smiling in spite of herself, she chuckled slightly as she watched Sirius jog out of the hall and up the stairs before lifting her wand and apparating away.

-Five Minutes Later-

"Hey guys sorry I'm late, I forgot my wallet" Sirius panted. There was a collective laugh emitted from the table as Sirius sat down.

"How have you been doing Paddy my boy?" said James smacking Sirius on the back.

"Not much has happened since I saw you at work yesterday."

"A lot could happen overnight." Said Remus who was looking a little thin with the full moon approaching soon.

"Put a sock in it Mooney" Said Sirius as he threw a spoon at his head.

"You three are so immature sometimes I swear Kayli is the only reason I am still sane" Muttered Lily as she read the menu not even looking up from it.

"Where is she anyway?" said Remus recovering from a spoon in the face. Sirius suddenly realized Kayli wasn't there.

"Is she in the bathroom?" Sirius asked urgently getting a bad feeling about this.

"No we would have seen her go in." Said James

"It'sok,I'm sure she'll be here soon" Lily said seeing how fidgety Sirius was getting a nervous habbit she hadn't seen him expose since their younger years in Hogwarts.

"No she was supposed to be here before I was, we were going to apparate together but I forgot my wallet and ran to get it while she came to meet you guys."

"Are you sure she didn't go some where else first?" asked Remus with a concerned look on his face.

"No, she didn't she was worried about being late and was coming strait here I'm positive."

"Maybe she went to the bathroom while you were gone, and you left while she was gone, you two probably just missed each other."

"Yeah… Yeah that's probably what happened." said Sirius sitting back down in his seat, taking a sip of water with a shaky hand.

"She'll be here soon Si." Said Lily noticing how pale Sirius had just gotten.

"Yeah probably" sighed Sirius trying to convince himself more than anything else.

Kayli never came.
