The chimney cracked even though it was already summer, but the cracked of the wood relaxed Prue if she was alone in the big house like this evening. Her sisters had gone out. A cup of tea stood on the coffee table and a book laid in her lap. Suddenly someone rang at the door. Prue got up, who could it be at this hour, her sisters all had a key and surely wouldn't ring. As Prue opened the door she was pretty surprised. "Albus what are you doing here?" she asked her former headmaster. "Good evening Prudence may I enter?" Prue stepped aside and let the old wizard enter. "Now what brings you here Albus?" Prue asked again as she sat with him in the living room. Dumbledore sighed. "Unfortunately something really unpleasant. Voldemort has returned." Prue starred at Dumbledore. "What?" she asked astonished. Dumbledore sighed again and told her everything that had happened. "And what are you going to do now?" Prue wanted to know and laid back, that was unbelievable. "Well since Fudge refuses to believe that Voldemort is back we will have to take matters into our own hands." Disbelieving Prue shook her head how could the minster think that Harry was making it all up. "You mean the order of the phoenix will turn up again?" Prue made clear. "Exactly and I hope we can count on you." Dumbledore handed her a note. For Prue it was clear that she would help she wanted that the man who had killed her friends disappeared for ever. She took the note on it was written: the headquarter of the order of the phoenix is at grimmauld place number twelve. As soon as Prue had read the note, it burst into flames. Dumbledore got up. "I hope to see you soon in London Prudence good night", he said and disappeared.
Prue looked around while she went down the street of grimmauld place. As she saw the house, it was stuck between eleven and thirteen and seamed out of place. She went the few steps to the door up and could feel how the protection charms rolled over her. She drew her wand, she knew if someone should be here they would be friendly but caution was the mother of china. Carefully she turned the doorknob and to her surprise the door opened. A dark corridor stretched out in front of her. Slowly Prue entered the building and tripped over something that stood beside the steps to the upper floors. There was a loud crack, she cursed and upstairs a curtain flew away from a painting. "You filthy bloodtraiters!" a piercing voice screamed. While Prue pressed her hand against her ears a door in the hallway flew open and a man came running from the room. He went to the portrait and closed the curtain again. "Shut up you old hag!" he cursed. The voice was very familiar to Prue. As the man turned around with a sigh she knew why. "Sirius", she whispered. "Prue" he said and came down the stairs and wrapped his arms around her. "It's good to see you." Prue relaxed in Sirius' arms and inhaled his smell, he smelled just like she remembered. "What are you doing here?" Prue wanted to know as Sirius let go of her. "The house belongs to me, I offered to Dumbledore as headquarter it's all I can do for the order." "That's already a lot", Prue assured him and smiled at him. Sirius smiled back. They both didn't really knew where they stood. In the evening they had a meeting that someone should always have an eye on Harry and his friends should come here in the next days. When Prue laid in her bed after all this, she couldn't sleep. She waited so long to have Sirius close to her again and they were no kids no more. Determined she got up, left her room and went upstairs. At the top floor she knocked on the door of the room which was signed with Sirius' name. "Come in", she heard Sirius say and entered the room, closing the door behind her. Sirius laid on the bed only dressed in comfy trousers and turned to her. He pushed himself up on his elbow and looked curious at her. With big steps Prue went to the bed and sat on it she pulled her legs up so she was sitting cross legged in front of Sirius. With a grin that rivalled his own Prue leaned forward and caught Sirius' lips in a feather light kiss. Sirius wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her closer so she was laying on top of him. "I've missed that", sighed Sirius brushing a strand of hair from Prue's face.
Some weeks had passed and Prue and Sirius had revived their relationship. However Prue realized that the time in Askaban and on the flight had changed Sirius, he was more serious and thought fuller than before but that was maybe also because he wasn't twenty anymore. In the meantime the Weasleys and Hermione had arrived at Grimmauldplace and Molly had started with cleaning the house. Prue was sitting at the table in the kitchen while Sirius paced in front of her. "Sirius what's wrong?" she wanted to know and looked up at him. "I'm worried about Harry", he said sighing. "Why? He is under constant surveillance after all." "Yeah but Mundugus is guarding today and I don't trust him." Prue got up and stood in Sirius way and took his hands. "He's acting on Dumbledores order do you really think he would oppose to that? Besides he knows that we would rip him an other if something would happen to Harry." Sirius pulled Prue closer and kissed her temple. "I know still I would prefer to be there myself." Prue looked up at Sirius she knew how much he hated to be closed up here. Suddenly Tonks stormed into the kitchen. She grinned when she saw her cousin and his girlfriend, mostly they held back if other were around. "Tonks what's wrong?" Prue wanted to know and let go of Sirius. Tonks grin died. "There's a problem with Harry he performed magic outside the school and was expelled from school", Tonks informed them. "What?" both asked shocked. "Don't worry, Albus already took care of it there will be a hearing. We will get him tonight from his relatives." "I'll come too", Sirius said determined. Prue turned to him and glared at him. "You won't Tonks and the other can take care of it. Can't you?" with her last words she turned back to Tonks, who nodded and disappeared from the kitchen. Sirius sat crestfallen on a chair. Prue stood behind him, wrapped her arms around him and laid her head on his shoulder. "Everything will be fine."
While the others had a heated discussion Prue looked nervous on her watch, if everything went well the other would return with Harry any moment. At this moment Kingsley, Moody and Tonks entered. Prue and Sirius took a short glance into the hallway before the doors was closed by Molly. In the hallway stood Harry apparently unharmed. The meeting lasted a little longer and then was finished. Because there were so many people at grimmauldplace they would eat in the kitchen. Molly just informed the children about it when Sirius said: "It's about time." A moment later Harry hugged him. "It's good to see you boy, you remember Prue?" Sirius said and pointed at his girlfriend. Harry nodded and followed Sirius into the kitchen. "So what's going on?" Harry asked during dinner. "What do you mean Harry?" Sirius wanted to know. "Voldemort what are his plans?" "We don't know exactly, we just know that he's after something a weapon or so", said Prue. "A weapon?" Harry asked curious. "That's enough he knows enough", Molly interrupted. "He's not a child Molly", Sirius complained. "But he's no grown up either and more so he isn't James", Molly hissed back. "Voldemort is back, I want to fight him", Harry said. Sirius threw a glance at Molly who said ´I told you so´. Prue grabbed Sirius hand and he looked at his girlfriend. "Let it be Sirius, Harry has enough to worry about." Sirius nodded and looked at Harry. "Are you prepared for this hearing?" Sirius wanted to know. "As good as I can", Harry said with a shrug.
On the next day Arthur accompanied Harry to his hearing in the ministry. Sirius paced nervous around the living room. "You worry about Harry don't you?" Prue, who leaned against the doorframe, wanted to know. Sirius sighed and sat on the sofa. "So obvious?" Sirius asked and looked up at Prue. His grey eyes were stormy. Prue smiled and sat down beside Sirius. "For me it is. I can see it in your eyes even if you wouldn't pace like that", she said with a soft smile. Sirius pulled Prue close and laid his head on hears and brushed her hair. "Don't you worry?" he wanted to know after some moments. "Of course, but I'm sure that Albus will get Harry out of it." "I hope you're wright", Sirius sighed. In fact, Prue was right and Harry was acquitted of all charges. On the first of September Prue accompanied Harry and his friends with some other aurors and Sirius in his animagus form to kings cross. Prue wasn't happy about it, that Sirius came along but she couldn't forbid him and she knew how much he hated to be locked into his paternal house.
Winter had come to London, Christmas was in few days and even though Sirius did his best, Prue noticed that he was missing his freedom. She had written Harry and asked him if he didn't want to spend his holidays at grimmauldplace. It was in the middle of the night as Prue was woken from a light. After blinking several times Prue realized that it was a patronus. "Harry and the Weasley kids will come to you shortly. Arthur was attacked in the ministry. He's brought to right now." After the patronus had delivered it's message it disappeared. Sighing Prue turned around and shook Sirius. "Sirius wake up, Harry and the Weasleys will be here soon." Sirius slowly opened his eyes and grinned at Prue. "What?" he asked sleepy. "You should get dressed we're getting visitors"", said Prue and stood up. Sirius eyed her naked body and sighed, he was crazy about this woman and would have liked to drag her back to bed, but it had to be urgent if she woke him in the middle of the night. So he got up as well and got dressed. When Sirius and Prue came in the kitchen they already heard a crack and a portkey with the children appeared. After Harry had informed them about everything they waited for news. In the early morning hours Molly came and told them that Arthur would make it thanks to Harry's vision. After that they send the children to bed. On Christmas morning Prue was still almost asleep. She felt how Sirius stroked her hair. She could almost see how he smiled at her. Her left hand laid on his chest and her left leg between his legs. That's why she noticed how Sirius turned around and apparently got something from his nightstand. A moment later she felt something cold glide over her ring finger. Shocked her eyes flew open. "Sirius what are you doing?" Prue wanted to know. Surprised Sirius looked down at her. "I thought you were still asleep." "Apparently not", said Prue and sat up. On her left ring finger now shimmered a fine gold ring with a Diamant. Prue looked questioning at Sirius. "I wanted to see if it fits, I bought it before I went into prison", Sirius sighed. "You wanted to marry me?" Prue asked perplex. "I still do, as soon as all this is over. Of course only if you want too." Prue smiled and kissed Sirius nose before she got up. She got dressed and wanted to leave the room. "Prue?" Sirius leaned against the head board of the bed. "Yeah?" she said and turned back to her fiancé. "Do I get an answer." Prue laughed and opened the door. "You didn't ask me anything Sirius and besides I'm wearing your engagement ring that should be answer enough", she said and left the room. Sirius shook his head smiling he had a bad influence on her.
On the day the kids left for Hogwarts again Prue found Sirius with Harry in front the tapestry that showed Sirius' family. "We could be a real family", she heard Sirius say. A smile crept onto her face she liked the idea of a small family with her, Sirius and Harry and maybe she and Sirius would also get some own children. "It's up to you Harry", said Prue and entered the room. Sirius smiled at her and wrapped his arm around her. The teenager smiled at them. "I don't want to intrude", he said. Prue shook her head. "Nonsense Harry. James and Lily would have wanted it like that and you're always welcomed here." "Thanks you two, that means a lot to me", Harry said beaming. "Harry we have to go", they heard Hermione say from the door. Harry said goodbye to his godparents and left.
On the evening of the 18 June Severus came into the kitchen of grimmauldplace. "Severus what are you doing here?" Prue wanted to know and looked questioning at him. "Potter said, that the dark lord has Black in his power", Severus said brusquely and glared at Sirius. "What!" Prue shouted. "Where's Harry now?" Sirius wanted to know and stood up. "In the department of mysteries in the ministry." Sirius glanced at Prue for a moment, she nodded and already the two were on their way. Prue send patroni to some other members of the order. When they reached Harry and his friends they were already in big troubles. Deatheaters kept hold of Harrys friends and Lucius Malfoy threatened the boy. With their fast intervention they could free the students from the deatheaters but then everything went fast. The members of the order dueled with the deatheaters and the children helped as well. Harry defended a spell and Prue could here Sirius praising him before he was hit by a curse and fell through the archway behind him. "Sirius!" Prue and Harry shouted at the same time while Bellatrix started singing "I killed Sirius". Prue dropped to her knees and only caught a glimpse of Harry running after Bellatrix. She couldn't believe that her big love wasn't no more, what should happen with her now.
