Author's Note –

In this chapter is where the real plot begins. I cannot say what it is, as I want you to try and guess, but I'll give you a hint: It has something to do with a Dementor or two.

"Wake up, Sirius! Sirius Black! Get up!" Delilah yelled into Sirius' ear.

"What? What's going on? Where is everyone?" Sirius muttered as he reluctantly got out of bed. "And I see you managed to get the burn out of your hair." He said, seeing Delilah's current hair style, her hair long and blonde, and towards the end, changing into ginger.

"Yeah, now's not the time. Grab your broom; we've got to leave through the window. Death Eaters are invading the Cauldron again." Delilah complained, while handing Sirius his broom.

"Okay, okay. I'm coming." He said, jumping out the window on his broom.

"There, that wasn't so hard, was it?" Delilah muttered.

"I heard that!"

"You were meant to. The others are waiting at Platform 9 and ¾."

"Okay."

The two teens flew around, dodging a couple more hexes on the way,

"Meridecrius!" Delilah yelled, pointing her wand at two Death Eaters.

"How'd you know they were Death Eaters?" Sirius questioned Delilah, while evading a Confundment Charm.

"I don't know. I just assumed since they were chasing us." Delilah said, while zooming ahead.

Actually, that was a good call, too. The two wizards lagging behind the couple were Lucius Malfoy and Narcissa Black. They drove their brooms until Delilah and Sirius were out of site at King's Cross.

"There they are!" Delilah said, pointing towards a group of people. "And Tonks is with them!"

"But I don't have any of my school supplies!" Sirius said, catching up to Delilah.

"Don't worry. I asked Dumbledore if he could get them before we got there. He said he would as soon as possible and lay them on our beds." Delilah said, as she joined the rest of the group.

"Hello, Delilah, Sirius." Tonks greeted them politely. "How have you been?"

"Great, Tonks! It's really nice to see you again!" Delilah said brightly as she hugged Tonks. Nymphadora Tonks was of the same magical ability of Delilah, Metamorphmagus.

"Oh, so hugs for my girlfriend, but none for my girl's friend?" Sirius muttered to himself.

"Oh, you little wimp! Of course I've got hugs for you!" Tonks yelled, as she hugged Sirius.

"I guess then we'll get on the train?" Remus said as he heard the train whistle blow.

"Oh, yes, lets." Said a sneering voice from behind them.

"Oh, god. It's Snivellus." James said, as he stepped face-to-face with Serverus Snape.

"Oh, please! Will you two just knock it off! You've been like this since our first year!" Lily pleaded to James.

"Oh my lord! Why are we starting all of our sentences with 'Oh'?" Remus wondered out loud.

"Sirius, I thought you were expelled after all that joking around you did last year?" Serverus said with an impolite sneer.

"Either way, I'd be here. I'd come to say good-bye to Delilah." Sirius retorted.

"Sirius! Let's go!" Delilah said as she pulled him into the train.

And, the group boarded the train. They only had to go into the cabin Delilah said and all their items were there.

"Oh, good! Professor Dumbledore brought my guitar." Sirius said, with a hint of relief. "If I never had it, I don't know what I'd have done."

"Can't you play a song instead of tuning it and playing around with some chords?" Said Tonks as she watched Sirius strumming and twisting the tuning pegs until the guitar sounded as if it had come from the heavens.

"What about that song you wrote for me back when we were in our fifth year?" Delilah suggested.

"Yeah, Nymph here wasn't in Hogwarts then." James exclaimed.

"Must I? It's kind of . . . You know." Sirius complained as he turned faint red.

"Yes! I want to hear it!" Tonks cried as she stood up.

"Besides, she's in Hufflepuff. She won't hear it any time soon." Lily explained.

Sirius couldn't avoid Nymphadora's power of persuasion.

"Alright, fine. Ahem . . .

Hey there Delilah,

What's it like in New York City?

I'm a thousand miles away

But girl, tonight you look so pretty, yes you do.

Times Square can't shine as bright as you,

I swear it's true.

Hey there Delilah

I've got so much left to say.

If every simple song I wrote to you

Would take your breath away,

I'd write it all.

Even more in love with me you'd fall.

We'd have it all.

Hey there Delilah

You be good and don't you miss me.

Two more years and we'll be done with school

And I'll be making history like I do.

You'll know it's all because of you.

We can do whatever we want,

Hey there Delilah,

Here's to you,

This one's for you."

Then, a great big clap of thunder came from the skies above.

"Hey, the gods liked it!" James laughed.

"Shut up, Prongs!" Sirius snapped.

Soon, the power on the train went out, and the Hogwarts Express stopped.

"What's going on?" Peter said, voice trembling with fear.

"Shush! Someone, or something, is coming!" Remus said.

Soon, a Dementor floated past their open door. It stopped, and entered the room. Delilah, whose life was mostly horrible memories, was the most likely target for the Dementor's Kiss.

"Expecto Patronum!" Yelled a female voice outside the door.

"Thank you . . . Who are you?" Asked Remus, thinking the Dementor had come for him.

"I am Professor I.E. Senvers. But, just call me Ivy Senvers." Said Ivy.

"Professor . . . You must be our new D.A.D.A teacher!" James exclaimed. "Nice to meet you!"

"Sorry, Professor. James is a little knuckle headed. Oh, yeah, beware him and Sirius." Lily explained, then pointing to Sirius. "Sirius almost got expelled after the thing he did last year."

"Yeah, my nephew told me to be stern, but, 'eh? I like trouble makers. They make the atmosphere a little less heavy." Ivy explained.

"Ivy, who's your nephew? We must know him, or vice versa." Sirius asked.

"Serverus Snape. Yes, I know, now you can run away." Ivy muttered, her voice dripping with sarcasm.

"You don't like him?" Remus asked, slightly startled.

"No! Who does?" Ivy asked.

"Lily used to." James pointed out.

"Shut up! I can't here you, la la la la la!" Lily cried while she covered her ears.

"Yes, I remember you! Snivellus told me about you. Called you a filthy mudblood. I slapped him so hard. You see, I'm a mudblood, too." Ivy told Lily. "Anyway, I must be going."

"Alright then. Good bye, Ms. Ivy Senvers." James said, trying to imitate a gentleman.

"That didn't work very well, Prongs." Sirius said.

"Shut up!" James yelled, most likely out of spite of everybody telling him to shut up.

They soon arrived at Hogwarts. They when to the Great Hall, sat down, and watched to first years get sorted.

"Oh! My sister! I forgot this is her first year here!" Delilah whispered to her friends.

"Dahlia Housings? Why do your names sound so much alike?" Remus whispered back.

"My mum really liked names that started with the letter D." Delilah answered. "It looks like the Sorting Hat's about to make its choice."

"Ravenclaw!" The Sorting Hat shouted,

Soon Dumbledore spoke.

"As a little note for the Gryffindor Quidditch team, the newest team captain is . . . James Potter!" Dumbledore said to the students.

"Alright! Go Potter / Prongs!" Sirius screamed amidst the clapping students.

The students soon wandered up to the portrait of the Fat Lady.

"Password?" She asked.

"Perfectly Punctually." Remus said.

"Enter." The Fat Lady said, opening to allow the group of teens to enter.

"So . . . It's been a while since we've been here, hasn't it, Delilah?" Sirius asked.

"Oh, yeah. Remember that time you forgot the password and you and James had to sleep in the hallway?" Lily asked, giggling slightly.

"Don't remind me. It'll just give me nightmares." Sirius said, slightly taken aback by the comment.

"Sirius . . . Meet me down here at 2 o'clock at night. Okay?" Delilah whispered into Sirius' ear.

"Okay." He said while nodding his head.

"Well, I'm going to bed. Delilah, you coming?" Lily asked, while stifling a yawn.

"Yep. Sirius, don't forget." Delilah said.

"Don't worry. I won't."

What does Delilah want with me? Am I really that special?, Sirius wondered.
