A/N: Okay, this chapter is a bit shorter than what I usually write- but this time something so major happens that I felt that it should just be by itself. So in this this chapter- there is really only one big thing happening- but it's a huge thing, so don't worry about a lack of drama. Enjoy!

Chapter 15: An Unexpected Solution

Sora's scream woke up Alice Hornsby, the only other girl in the room (It was a Friday night- most other girls were still out). Alice was the keeper on the quidditch team and her and Sora had always been good friends.

"What's the matter, Sora?" Alice asked groggily, rubbing her eyes.

"N…Nothing" Sora stuttered, her eyes still glued to the letter in her hands.

"You wouldn't scream if it was nothing. I may be tired, but I'm not daft" Alice said, sounding dreadfully tired. She had stayed up quite late the night before working on a potions essay and had decided to cancel her date with Frank Longbottom (her current boyfriend) and get a goods night sleep. Sora, had she been in her right mind, would have felt quite sorry for the girl.

"The best night of my life just got completely ruined" Sora said with a heavy heart. Alice nodded sympathetically.

"Well my night wasn't so great, either" she said in a lame attempt to cheer Sora up. Alice liked Sora, and she thought that the girl went through way too many troubles. She had just been realized from the hospital two weeks ago and now she had something else on her plate.

"I…I need to talk to the group" Sora said, getting up quickly. Alice nodded her head. If anybody could help her now, it would be the rest of the H6.

Sora called good-bye to Alice and raced down the stairs, grasping her letter firmly in her hands. Once she reached the bottom, she turned and raced up the steps to the boy's dormitory. Sora felt an odd sense of déjà vu and realized the last time that she had raced up these steps Lily had gotten kidnapped, James had been beaten up badly, and she nearly died. Sora prayed that this time things would be less…violent.

Sora reached the door of the 7th year boys' room and pounded on it. The door was open seconds later by a confused looking Frank Longbottom.

"Oh, hi Sora!" Frank said brightly to the girl, once his bewilderment was assuaged. "If you're looking for Adrian, he isn't here right now"

Sora thanked heavens that Adrian wasn't there. That was one less problem to deal with.

"No, I wasn't looking for him. I actually wanted to speak with the boys" Sora said to Frank. She didn't have to elaborate what she meant by "the boys"; everybody knew about the H6.

"Sure, come in" Frank said, opening the door wide, letting the girl in. "They're playing exploding snaps on Peter's bed" he said, pointing to the three boys who were very much into the game they were playing.

Sora walked up to them quickly, but they didn't notice her until she slammed her letter down in the middle of their game board.

"What the…oh, it's you" Remus said, looking up at the girl. Sirius opened his mouth to say something sarcastic, as usual, but he caught one look at the fury in Sora's eyes and sobered.

"What's wrong?" he asked the girl, concerned. Sora just wordlessly pointed to the paper lying on the game board. Sirius picked it up slowly and read it, his eyes growing wider as he scanned the words.

"You must be kidding" he whispered when he finished.

"Do you really think I would kid about something like this?" Sora asked. Sirius just shook his head.

"What's going on?" Peter asked. Sirius handed the letter to him, a miserable expression on his face. Peter read the letter in shock and then promptly handed it over to a very perplexed Remus- who was equally as taken aback by the news.

"Does James know about this?" he asked. Sora just stared at him.

"If James knew about this- don't you think he would have make a huge ruckus about it?" Sora asked. Remus nodded his head slightly. It had been a pretty stupid question.

"So what do we do about it?" Peter asked.

"Should we tell James?" Remus asked.

"I don't see why not, this affects him too" Peter answered. Sora just looked over at Sirius, who had been silent the whole time.

"Do you think we should go to James, Sirius?" Sora asked. The boy shook his head.

"James isn't really good with these types of situations. He'd just go throw a temper tantrum and then sulk" he said. Sora couldn't help but think it was true. James might have matured greatly since their third year, but when he was upset he still reverted back to his old, childlike ways. It was a bit cute, really, but totally unhelpful during emergency situations.

"So what do we do?" Remus asked, looking Sirius. Sirius was usually the ideas guy. He came up with all the plans and the rest of the group figured out how to execute them. Remus could almost see the wheels in Sirius's head turning….

"I have an idea" Sirius said suddenly. Sora looked up at him.

"What is it?" she asked. Sirius, instead of answering, just stood up and put on his long, black school robes.

"Are you planning on going out somewhere?" Peter asked, confused. Sirius nodded his head.

"Where are you going?" Sora asked. Sirius just tied the sash on his robe and nodded towards her.

"Come with me" he said simply. Sora didn't have any idea what was going on, but she stood up next to him- ready to follow him wherever he would lead her.

"We won't come back until very late" Sirius said to Remus and Peter before taking Sora's hand and leading her out of the room, down the staircase, and through the portrait hole.

"Where in the world are we going, Sirius?" Sora asked as he led her down the hall.

"Hogsmede" Sirius answered simply. Sora's mouth dropped open in shock, and she would have stopped completely right there in the hallway if Sirius hadn't been practically dragging her by the arm.

"Hogsmede? Why in the world would we go there? I don't think nicking sweets will help us right now" Sora said "plus I think all of the shops will be closed by now"

Sirius ignored Sora's words and led her through the passageway that led out of school into the small town. Sora usually didn't allow herself to go anywhere unless she knew what the plan was- but she trusted Sirius and she knew that she would follow whatever decision that he would make. Sirius wouldn't lead her to harm, and she felt safe with him.

Hogsmede, surprisingly, was still pretty lively by the time Sora and Sirius arrived. Sora had been quite wrong when she said all of the shops would be closed; instead, most of them were still brightly lit and full of customers. Sirius led Sora down the main street and suddenly stopped in front of a bookstore.

"Wait right here, I'll be back in a minute" he told Sora, before leaving her and going into a shop next to the book store. Sora leaned to the side to read the shop's name. It was a jewelry store.

"Why is Sirius buying jewelry at a time like this?" Sora cried, thinking that the boy had definitely gone mad.

Sirius came out a few minutes later, a small bag in one hand. He motioned for Sora to follow him once more.

"What did you have to buy that was so urgent?" Sora asked "and you still haven't told me why we are in Hogsmede!"

Sirius just shook his head. Sora could tell by the expression on his face that he was deep in thought. He walked for a few more blocks before making a sharp right turn and continuing down a small street with no one on it.

"Where…where are we going, Sirius?" Sora asked as the buildings became more spread apart and dark. She felt a bit more wary now that they were on this deserted road and felt a sudden urge to go back to the main street with its lights and people.

"I'm not leading you to any danger" Sirius said, trying to calm the girl.

"I know that. I just usually like to know where long, dark roads lead to" Sora answered. The two walked for about fifteen minutes before Sora finally saw a small, dimly lit building in the distance.

"What is that place?" she asked. Sirius kept walking at his same pace.

"Our destination" he answered simply. Sora knew better than to ask anymore questions. She just followed him up a small, yet steep hill, until they reached the building. Sora looked at it in wonder.

"Why…this is a chapel!" Sora cried, looking at the small, yet very pretty building.

"Yes it is" Sirius said calmly. Sora looked at him in wonder.

"Did you feel like we needed some divine intervention?" she asked, completely shocked and confused. What did Sirius think was at a chapel that could help them?

"Well I can't say that some divine intervention wouldn't help, but that's not what we are here for" Sirius answered, suddenly sounding not so calm.

"Then what are we here for?" Sora asked him. Sirius shuffled his feet a bit.

"Sora- do you love me?" he asked. She looked at him in utter confusion.

"Of course I do, Sirius. But stop changing the subject! What are we doing here?" she asked once again. Sirius just looked at the ground.

"I mean, do you really love me?" he asked. Sora just looked at him oddly, becoming more confused by the second.

"Yes" she answered. It was the truth but she didn't see how it had to do with anything. "I do love you, but how is that going to solve the fact that James and I are engaged?" Sora asked. Sirius just opened the jewelry bag and showed her what was inside. Sora looked in, then back at Sirius's nervous face, and everything began to make sense.

"You…you…" she stammered, not able to get the words out. Sirius took out one of the items in the bag- a perfect, beautiful ruby and gold ring.

"Diamonds seemed to boring for you- so I thought I would go for house pride" he said. Sora didn't even glance at the ring, but instead just stared at Sirius.

"You…you…" she stuttered again, not believing what was happening.

"Well, I just thought that you couldn't marry James if you were already married" Sirius said. Sora continued to stare at him.

"You can't be serious!" she finally cried. Sirius turned a deep shade of red.

"If you don't want to…I'll understand. It was a stupid idea anyways" he mumbled.

"It's not a stupid idea! It's just…we just got together today! Are you willing to make such a big move?" Sora asked. Sirius looked at her resolutely.

"I am" he said "I know it's a bit fast, and I know that we just got together today but…but I can't let you marry James. I've been working up the courage to tell you I loved you since third year and now that I have I can't loose you this easily" he said, his tone final. Sora looked at him for a bit longer before breaking out into a bit smile.

"So you're sure about this?" she asked.

"Yes" Sirius answered

"Hundred percent sure?"

"Yes"

"You'll have no regrets in the future if we do this?'

"None whatsoever"

Sora just nodded her head slightly.

"Then I say yes" she said lightly. Sirius beamed.

"Let me warn you- I don't remember birthdays that well. And I don't like Valentines Day and anniversaries. I'm not that big into the whole lovey-dovey hearts and pinkness and such" Sirius said. Sora smiled.

"Will you ever cheat on me?" she asked.

"No" he answered immediately with that final, hard-set tone of his.

"Then I don't need lovey-dovey"

So Sora and Sirius were married in the back of the quaint chapel, under the stars. Him in his black school robes, her in her long, old-fashioned white night dress, holding a bouquet of wildflowers that grew in the church garden that the pastor was nice enough to let her pluck. It was informal, it was rushed, it was spontaneous, and it was more perfect than either one of them could imagine.

Once in a lifetime- you find the person that you are so perfect to be with that you know you could never be content with anyone else. Sora and Sirius found that in each other and their wedding was done with no regrets and no worries. They were together, and that was all that mattered.

After the wedding, Sora and Sirius strolled down the streets of Hogsmede, hand in hand, everything seeming more bright and more cheery than every before. Neither one of them could stop grinning.

"You do realize that our honeymoon will be in the dungeons, don't you? We have double potions with Slytherin tomorrow" Sora said, smiling. Sirius laughed.

"Ah- honeymoon with Slughorn. What else could you want?" he asked.

"A noose to hang myself with" Sora answered, causing Sirius to laugh all over again.

"What will the rest of the H6 say when they learn about this?" she asked.

"Well we'll find out tomorrow" Sirius answered.

"Yes, we'll worry about them then" Sora said, dreading the next morning, but looking forward to it to, because tomorrow would be her first, official full day of being Mrs. Sora Kaito Black- and the thought of that was quite exciting.

"This night has been absolutely perfect" Sora said wistfully as her and Sirius passed by a rather rambunctious bar with various, screaming people tumbling out of it.

"You took the words right out of my mouth" Sirius answered.

A/N: I know you never saw that coming! But, it does create a lot of new drama. How will the H6 and Adrian react to this whole situation? But more importantly, what will Mrs. Potter do? I'm working on the next chapter right now so hopefully I'll get it up soon- it'll be a fun one! As always, please review- I love to hear what you guys think about my insane story. Thanks!
