Sirius and the still invisible Artimis walked next to each other.

Sirius turned a corner at which the three asses where there, one was missing (the one Sirius didn't know the name of).

They turned and looked at Sirius.

"Heh, nice to see you again" Said Severus

"Now what do you want Snape?"

"What do you think we want?" Asked Lucius

"Oh I hope your nose is even more bent." Said Sirius grinning

"Sirius please, just walk away!" Whispered Artimis to Sirius

Sirius shook his head.

"Well Black, hope you don't mind being pounded to a pulp!" Said Severus; his voice as oily as his hair. A grin creased across his face.

"You two, against me? Last time I pounded you three to a pulp, and now there's only two." Said Sirius grinning

"Well hate to tell you, but word has spread, now there's at least 20 of us!" Said Lucius

"20? How could you and your oily hair get 20 other people?" Asked Sirius; raising a eyebrow

Severus waved his hand in a beckoning way.

About 15 or 19 boys from Slytherin appeared.

"This isn't good" said Artimis slowly

"Get out while you can." Said Sirius; looking straight ahead. "I can beat these clowns." Said Sirius; smiling down at Artimis. "Now, go!"

Artimis floated above all of them.

"You all better win!" said Lucius grinning; he turned back to Sirius "Even though you're chanced of surviving is nil." Said Lucius; his grin growing.

Sirius put his fists up; ready for battle.

Artimis saw something; someone was on a broom above Sirius; with his wand, and some sort of magical bombs.

"Go!" Yelled Severus and everyone but Severus and Lucius charged.

The boy on the broom pointed his wand at Sirius (who still hadn't been touched.)

Artimis did the one thing she could think of; she jump on Sirius, so the shot of magic wouldn't hit him.

Sirius fell to the ground.

The boy cast the spell.

A great orange strip of magic flew from the boys' wand into Artimis, her shield was broken.

Artimis screamed out in pain; the force was strong, after the spell, the boy dropped all the magical bombs which just created small scrapes.

"Artimis, are you okay?!" Yelled Sirius pulling her off his back; she was out cold even though she was already dead her back had a huge burn mark and the rest of her was bleeding.

Sirius had a cut on his cheek; he wiped off the blood that was dribbling down into his mouth.

"You bastards." Said Sirius stilling kneeling next to Artimis

"It was her own, damn, fault." Yelled the boy on the broom.

"Sirius," Said Artimis slowly

"Arti? You okay?" Asked Sirius looking at her nervously

"Just help me up please."

Sirius picked her up.

Artimis started to make tweeting sounds; like a bird.

Suddenly all these birds appeared and started to attack the Slytherins.

Fawkes swooped down and grabbed Sirius.

"Good Fawkes" Said Artimis Smiling holding her hand up to pat the bird; her hand feel and blood splattered on Fawkes and Sirius.

Fawkes dropped them in the clock tower window. Sirius rolled Artimis so her back was up.

Sirius ripped her shirt in half to look at the burn; it was pretty bad.

"Fawkes?" Said Sirius; looking around and out the window.

Fawkes was flying away his red feathers shinning in the afternoon sun.

"Damn that bird." Mumbled Sirius

"Ugh." Artimis said as she tried to stand up

"Don't stan-." Sirius paused and started in shock

"What?" Asked Artimis

Sirius turned red and spun around.

"What?" Asked Artimis

"Err.You're uhh. Shirt is, well." Sirius paused

Artimis looked down.

"Gah! Where'd it go?!" Yelled Artimis

Artimis paused, "But how did you get my bra off?" She said her arms over her chest.

"Erm. No comment" Said Sirius

Sirius grabbed his jacket and threw it at Artimis; while he still faced the other direction.

"You can turn around." Artimis said

"Err. Sorry about that." Said Sirius blinking like he wasn't sure if what he saw was real. "Uhh. what about your injuries?"

"They'll heal." Said Artimis "But you're hurt." Artimis touched Sirius face where the blood was dribbling down.

"Nothing it's just a scratch." Said Sirius

"That's what you always say." Said Artimis grinning

"Of course that's all I say." Said Sirius

Sirius looked at his watch it was almost 12:00

"Damn it." Sirius looked up at Artimis who was hovering in front of him "I have to go talk to Dumbledore."

"Well of course you do; you always do."

"Well, I better be off; don't want to keep the head master waiting!" Said Sirius grinning

"Yes, please come back after your done talking to him." Said Artimis looking into his pale eyes

~*~

A/N: what color are Sirius' eyes?

~*~

"Here I'll float you down to the bottom." Said Artimis taking his hand

They floated down to the bottom and landed on the stone floor.

They turned and looked at each other, in under a week they had gotten to know each other so well; and in the process, fall in love. They stood there looking at each other wondering why it had happened.

"Because we are lucky." Thought Artimis smiling

Sirius leaned down and kissed her.

"I'll be back later!" Said Sirius as her ran out the door.
