Chapter 01:

"She makes quite the first impression, does she not?" Everyone's attention drifted to the older man standing behind her, with a crooked nose, and half moon specles on.

"Professor Dumbledore!" a new roar erupted inside the room as their fearless leader entered.

"Who does she think she is, Professor?!" Lily Potter spoke up.

"She's the newest member of the order." He spoke as she stared at the red head. "Nikki Lyn Smith attended a Wizarding School down in New Zealand for the last ten years, and has recently graduated as top of her class." The young girl gave a smug look towards the red head. "And she will be expected to treat all of you with her respect as well.

"Now...Let's get to our order of business." He spoke, changing the subject once again as everyone took a seat.

Sirius watched her out of the corner of his eyes. She sat against the wall with a notebook in front of her as she took notes on the meeting. When she'd look up, he'd remove his eyes away from her and back to the meeting at hand. When he saw her go back to her notebook, he couldn't help but seal glances her way. There was something about her that caught his attention.

"Oi, Padfoot!" James said elbowing him in the ribs, "Come back to earth."

"Wha-?" He turned to his best friend questioning.

"Is it not obvious staring?" James asked him with a smirk.

"I was not..." He argued back.

"Quit it you two." Remus pipped up to them. "Pay attention."

"R-right..." They both said going back to the meeting. Afterward, Nikki stood up and closed her notebook, slipping it into a bag.

"Mister Dumbledore, I ought be going now since this meeting has been concluded." She said politely to him. "I shall bid you farewell until the next time we meet." He nodded shaking her hand before she turned to leave. She walked out of the main room and into the foyer to leave the house.

"H-hey." Someone called out to her, stumbling through the doorway quickly to stop her from leaving. She turned, her dark blue eyes meeting his grey ones.

"Yes?" She asked coolly towards him.

"Nikki right?" He said walking over towards her.

"Yes, but what is it that you need?" She asked, "I'm in a bit of a hurry."

"I-uh..." He paused after stumbling over his words, "I'm Sirius Black." He said sticking out his hand. "My friends and I were wondering if you'd like to come over sometime since your around our age and all, and you don't know anyone really in the order." He said rocking back and forth on the balls of his feet, his hands in his pockets.

She looked at him for a moment, "The order isn't for socializing, Mister Black. It's to prevent the forces of Voldemort taking over the world." She spoke powerfully towards him. "And I don't fancy your style either, Mister Black. I bid you farewell." She said opening the door and closing it only to aparate away.

Sirius stood there for a moment, rethinking about what had just happened. "So... what went on?" James and Peter pressured as they sat in the living room of the Potter's house.

Sirius sat quiet, and so Remus jumped for defence, "What if he doesn't wish to speak of it because for once in his life he was shot down by someone so beautiful and young."

"Thanks, Moony..." Sirius grumbled. "But that is true..."

"Really?!" James, Peter, Remus and even Lily said as once shocked.

"I can't believe someone shot down the Sirius Black." James laughed, "I wish I was there."

"I wish I wasn't." Sirius grumbled still. "How does something like that happen?! And to me of all people?!" He said still disbelieving it happened himself. "And she called me Mister Black! Who am I? My father!?"

"Calm down Sirius." Lily said, "Tea?"

"I can get it..." Sirius said before standing up from the chair he sat in to go to the kitchen.

"Padfoot, you still going to after her?" James asked, all ready knowing the answer.

"I don't back down until I get what I want, Progs. You know that as well as I do." Sirius grinned as he came back with tea in his hands. "This is just going to take a little more planning than just ten minutes..."

"You shouldn't go after her if she's not interested Sirius." Lily told him, "Some girls don't like it. Some get annoyed with it, and who knows, if you continue to persue her, you might-"

"End up six feet below." James jumped in with a stupid grin on his face as Lily sat next to him. "But I say go for it. It worked for me."

"But Sirius isn't you, and she's no me, James..." Lily told him.

"And?" Sirius and James both asked.

"I'll find someway... It'll just take time." And with that they sat down, talking about other topics.

-.x.X.x.-

Nikki was walking down the street towards her house when it started to get darker. Her house was only three blocks away, and she had to run to the market for something for dinner. She didn't know why it was as cold as it was when it was barely in August, but she continued down the street. Suddenly, rain started to pour down as she quickened her pace down the street with the bag at hand.

"Stupefy!" She heard someone yell out and she dropped the bag in her hand and dove to the side of the road, ducking behind a tree.

Who the hell was that?! She thought, breathing quickly as she reached for her wand, which was placed in her left boot. She held it infront of her, thinking. Who is it?

She pushed herself up and against the tree, watching as the eggs that were in her bag, smashed, soaked through, her fruit rolling out and the bag melting as the rain hit it.

"You idiot! You should have just used the cruciatus curse!" She heard a women yell at the guy. "You can't go easy, just because it's a women. She's apart of the order that's against us!"

"I'm sorry..." The guy said, he sounded so young.

"Go and get her! I don't want to have to do your work for you, Regulus!" She pushed the thin boy forward.

What spell?! Which one to work?! There's two here... If I aparate they'll know... they also probably have a tracker in the area... She thought of the ways to escape.

She heard a russle and turned to look behind her to see the boy. "Crucio!" He said pointing his wand at her.

"Finite Incantatum!" She yelled at the same time he yelled his, cancelling his out. "Filpendo!" She yelled, sending him back. "Expelliarmus!" She yelled aiming her wand at the women as she turned around the tree. The womens' wand was sent out of her hand. One last spell and then I can run... "Locomotor Mortis!" She yelled pointing her wand at the women once more as she had been scrambling to get her wand. The womens legs locked together and Nikki turned and ran as fast as she could to get away from them.

She turned down her block, and felt some sort of spell released away as the rain suddenly stopped. She felt safe enough to aparate away from the spot. She landed at in Diagon Alley, where the life wasn't as alive as it was durring the day. She was relieved to get away from the ones that were working for Voldemort, and found herself spacing out only to be brought back when a hand touched her shoulder.

She turned, ready to send the person back when she saw it was only Alice and Frank Longbottom. She sighed in relief seeing it was two people she recognized from the order. "Miss Smith, are you okay? You look a bit shooken up." Frank addressed her.

"It's a long story..." Nikki said before telling them.
