AN: First off I wanted to say that Sirius and Remus will take no crap from the death eaters. Second the taboo will still be on the name for Voldy because that's how Voldy believes Harry will be caught and/or possible blood traitors. Third Sirius will be a freaking BA when it comes to Deathly Hollows or at least in my mind he is. If I do end up going all the way to the end (and I have a feeling I will) most of Deathly Hallows will be from Sirius' perspective since we already know what happened on the horcrux hunt. Once again I am not JK Rowling.

"How did I get in the infirmary?" I asked looking around.

"Its a long story Baby." Sirius said leaning forward to trace his fingers across my cheek. I shivered and he smiled cheekily. The Department of Mysteries! The battle! Had we won?

"The last thing I remember was pushing you out of the way of a curse." I whispered shakily placing my hand over his. "What happened after that?"

"Bellatrix ran out yelling she had killed you and Harry went to avenge your murder. Voldemort came and some of the ministry employees saw him before he escaped with Bellatrix. Now Fudge believes everything Dumbledore and Harry have been saying and I have been given a full pardon." My mouth was open in shock. Wow so much had happened.

"What about my -?" I started but was cut off by Madame Pomfrey.

"SIRIUS BLACK! You were supposed to come get me the moment she woke up!" I slouched lower in my bed so I wouldn't get yelled at.

Sirius quickly stood up and moved off to the side so Madame Pomfrey could work on me. She shoved ten different potions down my throat and told the guys she needed to put a different one on my chest. Harry blushed and quickly escaped, Remus said he was glad I was okay and Sirius said he would go wake my parents. The moment he left she pulled the curtains close around my bed

"Your going to have some scarring that I can't get rid of." Pomfrey said pouring the potion over my chest. I looked down at my marred skin and frowned. The skin from my left shoulder to my right hip was darker like I had an uneven tan and tender to the touch.

"Will it fade with time?" I asked tentatively touching my skin. It was slightly rough to the touch and felt like a bad bruise.

"No, I'm sorry dear." She said buttoning my pajama top back up for me. I frowned and stared at the flowers next to my bed. Lilacs, my favorite.

Mum and dad came around the curtain a moment later and pulled me into their arms. Sirius leaned against the curtains surrounding my bed and watched me interact with my parents. Mum cried and dad said that Sirius was a very good man. Dad continued and said that I could date Sirius if I wanted to. I gasped sharply and burst into grateful tears.

The days passed and I still needed to be in the infirmary. Harry seemed dazed whenever he came in to see me, Ron and Luna always checked on me together, Neville gave me a chocolate frog and Ginny came in to tell me that she and Harry were now dating. Sirius rarely left me and spent most of his time as Snuffles on the edge of my bed.

On Sunday all of them came to check on me and brought me the daily prophet. I read it out loud to the occupants of the room.

"Oh so he's the 'boy who lived' again eh not such a deluded show off." Ron said shoving a chocolate frog in his mouth.

"Yes, they're very complimentary about you now, Harry," I said scanning down the article. "'A lone voice of truth… perceived as unbalanced, yet never wavered in his story… forced to bear ridicule and slander… ' Hmmm," I said, frowning, "I notice they don't mention the fact that it was them doing all the ridiculing and slandering in the Prophet…" Snuffles barked a laugh from the end of my bed and nuzzled his nose against my side. I absently stroked him behind the ears and ate a licorice wand.

"You-Know-Who's Last Attempt to Take Over, pages two to four, What the Ministry Should Have Told Us, page five, Why Nobody Listened to Albus Dumbledore, pages six to eight, Exclusive Interview with Harry Potter, page nine… Well," I sais, folding up the newspaper and throwing it aside, "it's certainly given them lots to write about. And that interview with Harry isn't exclusive, it's the one that was in The Quibbler months ago…"

"Daddy sold it to them," said Luna vaguely, playing with Ron's hair, he shivered and smiled at her. "He got a very good price for it, too, so we're going to go on an expedition to Sweden this summer to see if we can catch a Crumple-Horned Snorkack." Snuffles turned to me an oddly smirky look on his face.

I swallowed and forced myself to answer. "That sounds lovely Luna."

Ginny and Harry started snickering and Snuffles barked a laugh. "Anyway, what's been happening around the school?"

"Well, Flitwick got rid of Fred and George's swamp he did it in about three seconds. But he left a tiny patch under the window and he's roped it off." Ginny said cuddling close to Harry.

"Why?" I asked startled.

"Oh, he just says it was a really good bit of magic." Ginny said looking at her nails. Snuffles barked another laugh and I smirked.

"I think he left it as a monument to Fred and George," Ron said through a mouthful of chocolate.

"How's Umbridge?" Neville asked after a moment. I turned towards Umbridge who was lying in a bed. Apparently she had seen us leaving and tried to follow us into the Forbidden Forest. The centaurs had found her and carried her off when she insulted them. Dumbledore had strode into the forest to rescue her from the centaurs; how he had done it - how he had emerged from the trees supporting Professor Umbridge without so much as a scratch on him - nobody knew, and Umbridge was certainly not telling. Since she had returned to the castle she had not, as far as any of us knew, uttered a single word.

"Madam Pomfrey says she's just in shock," I whispered.

"Sulking, more like," Ginny said. Snuffles barked a laugh and burrowed closer to me.

"Yeah, she shows signs of life if you do this," Ron said, and with his tongue he made soft clip clopping noises. Umbridge sat bolt upright, looking around wildly.

"Anything wrong, Professor?" Madam Pomfrey called, poking her head around her office door.

"No… no…" Umbridge said, sinking back into her pillows. "No, I must have been dreaming…" Sirius barked a laugh and Ginny and I muffled our laughter in the bedclothes.

The next day I was released and Sirius left to check in with the Order. The closing feast was livelier than usual because of everyone's joy of Dumbledore being back. I ate my fill of everything in front of me and chatted with Ron and Luna, who was sitting in his lap.

On the train the next day Crabbe and Goyle tried to attack Harry when he was on his own. Unfortunately for them they did it in front of a compartment where the D.A. was sitting and they attacked them. Harry and Ron played chess while I flipped through a book thinking about the upcoming war. What if things turned for the worst? I would most likely be hunted if things did. They would go after my parents. I needed a plan.

We reached Kings Cross before I had any concrete ideas. Ron, Harry and I passed through the barrier after Draco and Pansy walked through holding hands. I stopped abruptly when we got to the other side. Half the Order and Sirius were standing there and he had a cheeky grin on his face. I smirked back an idea coming to me.

"HEY PANSY!" I yelled towards her retreating figure.

"What?" She snarled turning to look at me pulling Draco with her.

I strode surely up to Sirius and kissed him thoroughly on the mouth. He froze for a moment but started kissing me back running his fingers through my hair. Gasps were heard all around us and I turned back to Pansy. "Eat your heart out!"

Her mouth dropped open in shock. Draco was staring at me wide eyed and I could hear Lavender asking Parvati why he was with me.

"Because I love her." Sirius growled at Lavender and pulled me closer slanting his lips against mine.
