DISCLAIMER: THE WORLD OF HARRY POTTER BELONGS TO JK. ROWLING.

First week of brake had been bliss for Laura; she slept, lounged around, and saw Oliver everyday. They would take walks in parks, get ice cream, go to late movies…not really watching the movies…it was the life. She figured Stephanie was doing something similar with Fred. Stephanie was at the burrow for the summer, because her adoptive parents were journalists and were on assignment somewhere in the south. Laura was planning on meeting up with the gang on Saturday for dinner or something…they never really made plans, more so ideas of what to do.

" Freddie, don't make me!" shrieked Stephanie.

" Don't make you do what…?" said Fred cheekily as he held up the shirt she was going to wear away from her reach.

" Give me my shirt now Frederick!"

" Nah, I rather enjoy this view I am seeing." She screamed and lounged at her shirt, wearing nothing more than her pants and bra. He caught her and fell over on the other side of her bed, as she scrambled on top of him, to pin him down to get to her shirt.

" Woah! Wow, hold on! This is a very nice position, I can think of many things to do as we lie on the floor in this position. Geez Stephanie I didn't know you wanted me this bad." Stephanie hit him in the stomach as she quickly got off of him and put her shirt on, but he couldn't stop grinning.

" I can't believe you! You, you…"

" FRED, Laura and Oliver are here." Yelled Mrs. Weasley somewhere from below. Frederick laughed and took that as an escape to run out the door.

" Oh no Mr. Frederick Weasley we aren't finished here, you just wait, I am going to make you pay." Stephanie said as she ran after him.

" Oh yeah, after this morning, I don't think there is anything you could do to me to make me pay." He said half laughing, half serious.

Laura saw them arguing down the stairs, and ran up to Stephanie to give her a big hug.

" Oh, I missed you!"

" Me too! Honestly this boy here stole my shirt and left me in my…"

" What was that dear?" asked Mrs. Wealsey. Stephanie turned bright red, and Laura and Fred were trying to hold their laughter in.

" Uhh..I was just saying that Fred stole my socks, and my feet were cold…darn boys…" They quickly went outside, as Laura and Oliver said bye to Mrs. Weasley in passing just after they had said hello.

" What was that?" asked Oliver as George and Lee caught up to them. They had been outside degnoming the garden and had missed out on the morning events, but judging from all the pranks being pulled around the house lately, they had a feeling it had to do with Fred and Stephanie.

" Well, ever since school has been over, these two clown" Stephanie glared at Fred and George when she said this, " thought it would be funny to experiment their new candies on me, and…. oh Laura, I miss having another girl around, just on week with these two an I totally lose it." and she gave Laura another dramatic hug.

" Well well, I feel so loved."

They walked down to the village where they spent the day just perusing shops, and looking at muggle inventions. They even went to see a movie, but left in the middle when George started crying at the love story thinking it was real.

" Don't make fun of me! It was just so sad. You people just don't have hearts I swear!" he said in defense.

" Sure. How about food, I'm famished." Said Oliver as the rest kept laughing at George, offering him tissues and exaggerated hugs.

" Get off me Lee! Yeah food would be good, cuz these people over here, are making fun of my sensitive soul."

With that they started laughing even harder, but had to stop as they entered the restaurant. They all sat down at a big circular table they asked outside, and ate Italian style pasta. During the meal, Oliver kept trying to make Laura blush by squeezing her hand, of kissing her cheek off guard, even once he squeezed her thigh under the table, but decided not to do that again, when she had jumped up and spilled her soda in surprise.

The twins talked about their mom having to leave the house all the time, and revealed that there was the Order of the Phoenix made by Dumbeledore. They all knew about this, because on their first day of Summer, Dumbeldore had sent Stephanie and Laura special letters to request their presence the following week, and although the boys didn't know that part, George and Fred were going to be at headquarters because Molly thought it would be too hard to go back and forth all the time.

" Well I guess that means we won't see you much this summer." Said Oliver.

" We still have weekends!" exclaimed Laura.

" What about me? Leaving me behind." Said Lee.

" Well your parents are in the Order too, so just ask them for details, and we shall OWL you all the time. That's a promise." Said George patting him on the back.

By the time they got back to the burrow it was 10 PM and around 11 Laura, Oliver and Lee had to go home. Lee went first by floo powder, then Laura then Oliver. Laura stretched as she entered her room, but she was taken by surprise when Oliver hugged her from behind.

" AAH! What are you doing here?" she cried out.

" What, you thought I would leave without giving you a good night kiss?" and with that he kissed her softly on the lips, allowing his hands to hold her face tenderly.

"Good night!" and he apparated home.

" Mmm that was lovely Sirius…" Laura shot open her eyes, in horror of what she had just said.

Thank God Oliver was gone, but what was that slip all about. She had just been feeling good in the mood, not thinking, and BAM! Oh well, she would think about it tomorrow, too much for her tired brain to sort out.

Back at the burrow they were also getting ready for bed. George went in his and Fred's room first, knowing the lovebirds would probably do some smooching before bed. Stephanie followed George up the stairs, but Fred stopped her.

" Wanna go outside?"

" No."

" Oh I see, want to stay in the living room?"

" No." she said flatly.

" What's wrong?" he leaned in for a kiss but she turned around and walked up stairs, but before she closed her door she said, " I told you I would make you pay for his morning. Good night!"

Fred just stood there baffled, then he shook his head and smiled, walked upstairs and went to bed.

A week later, Dumbeldore himself was picking up Stephanie and Laura, to be taken to headquarters. He had written Laura's family about her need to be at headquarters, and since they were in the Order, they completely understood, and well, Stephanie was staying with the Weasley's so it was fine.

" Hello Molly, lovely to see you. Are you and your family ready to come to headquarters?" asked Dumbeldore one Monday morning.

" Oh yes oh yes, just finishing up breakfast."

" Good good, would you mind sending Stephanie first, because Laura is about to come, and I need to talk to both of the girls."? He said beaming at her.

" Sure sure." She was curious as to why the girls needed to be there first, or why Laura was there at all, but being a member of the Order, she thought she would find out soon enough. And in any case, she trusted them with Dumbeldore.

" Stephanie dear, Dumbeldore is here." Called out Molly.

" Here? Already? Ok ok coming one second." Said Stephanie bounding down the stairs.

" Hey, why does he want you there now. I thought you were going with us." Said George coming out of his room.

" Yeah…well, we shall see," She said averting his eyes, " Tell Frederick I'll see him in a bit when he comes out of his shower." Then she left the house with Dumbeldore.

He was a very pleasant man, he asked about her summer, and made comfortable conversation. He then told her the address of the Headquarters, and all the secrecy it involved. He picked up Laura on the way, as they all said their hellos and small talk they arrived at the Order. Dumbeldore opened the door, and being the gentleman he is, he let the ladies go in first, cautioning them to be careful for the house was still in dire need of cleaning. Laura went in first. The hallway was very dim, and she couldn't really see in front of her feet. She tripped on a troll looking umbrella stand just as a pair of strong arms caught her fall.

" You ok there?" asked Sirius

" Sirius? What are you doing here?" asked Laura looking every bit surprised and rather shocked.

" Me? How about you?" he replied also looking rather taken aback.

" Aah, Sirius, these ladies are here on my orders," said Dumbeldore coming from behind, " and Mr. Black is here, because this is his house."

Stephanie briefly hugged Sirius as a hello, as Laura just stood there unsure of what to do. Her heartbeat was beating at an alarming rate. It had been 3 weeks since she had last seen him, and the last time she saw him had been on a dewy morning where they had departed with unanswered questions. Her mind always wondered back to that morning where he had held her in front of the lake, comforting her, softly kissing her forehead. Oh shit, what was she supposed to do now?

" If you will please follow me, Sirius and I will show you to your rooms then I will tell you what your training consists of." Dumbeledore said as he walked up the stairs. Stephanie followed, but the other two just stayed rooted to the spot where their feet met the ground.

" Training what training?" asked Sirius unable to take his eyes off Laura. It had just dawned on him that she would be staying in his house, and the simple sight of her had sent all the feelings he tried to push out rushing back in.

" Ahh, I assumed you were aware. My sincere apologies, I have failed to tell anyone yet. Laura and Stephanie are here because they possess and extraordinary gift unlike that of any witch of wizard, and they need proper training to develop their skill for this upcoming war. I would appreciate it Sirius, if you didn't mention this to the other just yet."

Sirius nodded, then mentally slapped himself back to reality and walked upstairs go show them the guest rooms. The girls were going to share a room, because with the whole Weasley family, plus Harry and Hermione there weren't enough rooms per person, so they had to double up. As Sirius opened the door, Stephanie went in first, then the Headmaster and finally Laura looking down at the floor.

As she passed Sirius, his eyes flayed fixedly on her, and as she grazed his stomach with her elbow, he took a sharp breath in. she quickly turned to see, and was met with is stormy eyes, but before this could go any further, Stephanie had grabbed Laura's arm leading her to the beds so she could chose which one she wanted. In the meantime, Sirius had quickly walked back downstairs, incapable of calming his pounding thoughts.

Sirius POV:

She is here! In my house. Oh shit! What am I gonna do? What am I gonna do? Ok, just stay cool…she is probably with Oliver now…

He ran his fingers through his hair and paced across the living room as he thought. The little group had marched downstairs to explain the extent of their training, and as they entered the Living Room, Sirius stopped his frantics, looked up with a bizarre smile and sat down along with them.

" These girls are here to be under strict protection Sirius, I am putting you in charge of their safety," Dumbeldore started and looked at Sirius who nodded getting in his full Order member mode, "Now, Professor Snape, and Professor Lupin whom you had last year, will be the trainers of your magic. Prof. Snape will sharpen your mind, and Prof. Lupin the senses. This must be kept top secret, and will be done for two hours everyday. I hope this won't be asking too much." He glanced at the girls as he spoke, and they just nodded.

" Professor?" Stephanie asked, " May we tell the Weasley's?"

" Aah, yes I thought you might ask me. I shall tell you only this, and the rest is your decision. If you feel the need to tell someone, remember that trust is not to be deceived or given foolhardily, and that by telling them you might be putting them in danger."

Stephanie frowned for a bit deep in thought, but then decided she would tell them when it came to it. After all, they had grown up with the guys, and their own parents were members. Dumbeldore noticed her change in facial expressions, and just smiled softly.

Next to them, Laura was frowning slightly thinking about what she was going to make of this Sirius thing, the way he looked, healthier, shorter hair, hot… his warm touch…his erotic breath…this definitely wasn't going to be easy!
