"First we will discuss Harry and Albus’ plans for him. Then we will discuss your intentions for Miss LaVaunt." |
"I don’t have..." Sirius started. |
"Yes you do and as the elder of The House of Black I need to know. But Harry first. What are we going to do about Harry?" Andromeda took her seat, and proceeded to pour both men some tea. When she reached for the cream, she heard Harry’s voice through a Patronus. |
"DEMENTOR ATTACK! HOGWARTS." They summoned their cloaks and left without a word to each other. |

Carmen had enjoyed her walk through the snow as she made her way to the castle entrance. There was only one thing bothering her. |
She was fighting her attraction; mainly because he seemed like an overgrown child with power. But there was something else. Something she hadn’t felt in a long time. She looked over the grounds and smiled as she tugged down her hat and tightened her scarf. Groups of children building snowmen or having a snowball fight.... |
This was what life should be for them. No worries about decisions of old men who can’t see past their need to keep their positions of power and forget the rest of them. |
Carmen decided to join in the Ravenclaw/Slytherin/Hufflepuff snowball fight and let her inner child come out. Morpheus, Fred, George and Harry found out that she was having a snowball fight and that would not do. They couldn’t let her have all the fun, so they joined in. |
Since she was more skilled, she decided to join both teams and helped to direct fire. All the children had fun. They even managed to band together so that all three houses managed to dump a huge clump of snow on her. |
"So not fair." She pouted as she shook from the snow in her hair and face. She was about to initiate a large scale attack to dump on the first years when she felt the despair. She cast a spell to amplify her voice. |
"Everyone inside now! This is not a drill! Go! Go! Go!" |
The students had many drills over the time she had been here. If she said it was not a drill, it wasn’t. |
"Harry! Morpheus! Go!" The Grimm and the eagle were let loose on the Dementors. Carmen sent a message to HD and the rest of the professors. |
"George! Fred! Get them inside now!" She screamed. |
"Let me help." Said Blaise Zabini as he threw a Ravenclaw first year over his shoulder after she had fallen and started to run through the snow at break neck speed. |
"Come on. A little longer.’ Carmen urged. |
"Miss LaVaunt. What?..." Minerva paused for a fraction of a second. "Expecto Patronum!" |
Albus’ phoenix Patronus joined the fray. Along with Snape’s doe, Professor Sprout’s Devil’s Snare which took to suffocating the Dementors. |
"Brother. Protect me?’ |
Carmen walked a little closer to the Dementors. |
"Lea. What are you doing?’ |
"Protect me?’ |
"With my life! You know that...what are you doing?!" |
"I think I like him." |
"Like who?!" Morpheus said as he combated Dementors. |
"Sirius Black." She threw out her hands. "I love you Mo." |
A primal heat flashed from her as she screamed. She collapsed into her brother’s arms as she let her flame lose control on the Dementors that were sent to threaten the school. Their screams were loud and deafening. Many of them who couldn’t get away, crumbled to dust. |
She watched as the remaining ones were herded away. She didn’t know by who and she didn’t care. |
She slumped into Morpheus’ arms and passed out. |

"She needs to rest. She used a lot of magic." Carmen could hear voices. |
"Correction. She killed fifty Dementors to save the students. Dementors I would like to add that are supposedly under Ministry control." She knew that voice. That was Sirius Black. Fuck her head hurt! |
"She is not an emissary of any government. She is here for her brother. You have no right to hold her. I will go to a higher authority myself if I have to. She protected the students and staff of the school. I would love to see the citizen’s reaction to the fact that now the Ministry wants her arrested when she protect... |
"I would like to see you try." Sirius said. She heard a door slam. |
"If anyone would like to know my opinion?" Carmen winced as she sat up. |
"Car! You ok?" Harry began to check her over." |
Morpheus snatched her away from Harry. He proceeded to hug the life out of her. |
"Can’t breathe!" She wheezed. |
He released her. "I am so close to turning you over my knee!" |
"Can we wait til I get some coffee?" She almost begged. |

Carmen sat up length wise on the couch, with a cool cloth over her face. She moaned. "Never’ll do that shit again. Bucket." She turned as not her brother, but Sirius conjured one quickly as she vomited. Sirius freshened her mouth when she finished. He shocked them all when he scooped her up and sat her on his lap. She ... |
"Here." George offered her a vial. "Stomach sooter." |
"What will I turn into if I take it?" She eyed it wearily. |
George shook his head. "I respect you too much. Not only that. They..." He pointed to Morpheus, Sirius, Harry, Remus and Andromeda "...would kill me." |
She nodded and took the potion. Andromeda handed her a pain potion. After a few minutes she looked to her rapidly expanding group of friends and family. "Relax. I’ve had worse." Which was sadly the truth. "Just knocked the wind out of me is all." She cupped a hand to Harry’s worried face, as she leaned into the hand he... |
Harry changed the subject. "I’ve never seen such anger on Dumbledore’s face. The fact that they came on the grounds once again made him so angry. He chased the remainder of them away with a single whip of his wand. He seemed to be glowing." |
"Do we know who sent them?" Sirius asked as he held Carmen on his lap while stroking her braids. He was amazed she let him touch her, but she sat there with her arms curled around his waist. Before Andromeda could answer she spoke up. |
"How did the rest of you know to come?" Carmen asked as she snuggled into Sirius. |
"Harry sent us a message patronus right away after everything had been secured. We had just sat down to tea but stopped everything and apparated straight to Hogwarts. By the time we got here, you were already being levitated to your quarters by Mr. LaVaunt. Albus had flooed the Ministry straight away." |
"I heard you arguing with someone." She looked up to Sirius and then Harry. "Thanks by the way. Who was it?" |
"Fudge." Sirius gritted out between his teeth. "He showed up with Amelia and some aurors and demanded your immediate arrest for killing employees of the ministry. When he stormed out of here, he said he would contact the ICW to have your exemptions revoked." |
The elf popped in. "Already taken care of boss. Angus has already told the minister to essentially fuck off." |
"Thank you my friend." Carmen yawned. |
"Anytime. You Ok?" |
"Yup. See you in a bit." |
Caille popped out after a nod. |
"Andromeda went straight to the ministry to file a complaint for the threat on a Lord of an Ancient and Noble house by the ministry. What became of that anyway?" Sirius asked. |
He looked up at Andromeda as she spoke. "According to the Ministry, they are all under their control. But they refuse to believe that it could be one of their own. So it most likely will be made a state secret and covered up." She scowled. |
Carmen’s breathing started to slow. "Luna. Memories." She said as her eyes drooped a little. |
"Of course Carmen! That’s a fantastic idea!" Harry exclaimed. |
"al’faa teamrr. leeeep" Carmen murmured as she tightened her hold on Sirius. |
"Alpha team will be here soon. She needs rest. Lord Black. Please follow me." Morpheus turned to leave. |
Morpheus led them down a discreetly longer hallway then should be possible. Carmen was still in Sirius’ arms as she wrapped her arms around his neck as he carried her bridal style. |
"Rest." She yawned. "Brother." |
"I know baby girl. You’ll be up in time for dinner." They made it to her room. |
"Lay her on the bed and cover her up." Morpheus ordered. |
Sirius did as he was told. He kissed her forehead and watched as she snuggled into her blankets. He followed Morpheus out and closed the door. |

Sirius found himself in the uncomfortable position with a hand at his throat and slammed against a wall, and a very sharp knife pointed at his left jugular vein. |
"What are your intentions with my sister?" |
Sirius looked at him and debated his options. He decided to tell the truth. |
"To love her like she deserves." |
Morpheus squeezed his throat. He watched in glee as Sirius tried to fight him. "Tell me Sirius. Do you think you are strong enough to defeat me? I am her big brother." |
Sirius knew he was on the verge of passing out but he saw his chance. He threw his arms out of the hold, and took the other knife at the opposite hip. He flipped Morpheus onto his back and placed a knife over his chest. "For her. I will." Sirius’ face was set in determination. |
Sirius was shocked as he was easily flipped onto his back. "You pass." Morpheus stood up and stuck out his hand to help Sirius up. Sirius eyed his hand wearily, but he took it anyway and allowed him to be pulled up to his feet. |
"Was that absolutely necessary?" Sirius asked as he dusted off his robes. |
"Of course it was. She’s my sister. That little test was to see if you would resort to any means, including muggle means in defence of her. I know a storm is brewing and young Harry will be the center of it no matter how hard he tries not to be. Neither side will let him go on his merry way to live his life. In his hea... |
"Why are you telling me this?" Sirius asked curiously. |
"My sister just killed fifty dementors. She didn’t drive them off. She killed them. Dementors are basically mindless drones whose sole purpose is to feed on souls. She used a lot of raw magic to do it. What do you think she would do to someone who should know better who tried to hurt Harry?" |
Sirius raised a brow. "Cause them extreme bodily harm I would guess." |
"It is more than that. Today she let out a burst of raw magic. Imagine what she could do if she conserved that energy during a fight with wizards." |
Sirius raised his brows to his hairline as what Morpheus was saying dawned on him. |
Morpheus nodded. "I have watched her take out six opponents without breaking a sweat. Her magical reserves were something fascinating in her early twenties. Now they are exponentially higher in her thirties." |
Sirius nodded. "I see." Sirius sighed and put his head back against the wall. How on earth did he think he had a chance with such a powerful and beautiful woman. A woman who according to Harry made him look like a beggar. |
"May I ask you a question?" |
Sirius nodded. "Yes." |
"Why her? From what I’ve been told about in that gods awful rag known as Teen Witch Weekly that Carmen loves to read with Luna, you are the consummate playboy. She has had her share of lovers, but it is not in the spotlight like your love life." |
Sirius nodded. "I will admit that I have had my...dalliances as well. But I have always been upfront with them about the end result. But she...I don’t know. She makes me want more than just a bed warmer. She...I can’t explain it. Ever since I touched her arm in Dumbledore’s office, I felt..." Sirius frowned as he strug... |
Morpheus masked his concern. If what he was saying was true, then maybe...He shook his head. He would think about it later. "I see." He straightened up from his quiet contemplating as his face turned serious. "She will pretend that the incident of you holding her did not exist." Morpheus held his hands up. "She does no... |
Sirius raised a brow. "She’s actually going? I get the distinct impression she hates politicians." |
Morpheus chuckled. "She really cannot stand them. She’s more of a..."What’s the problem and solve it type.’ Not the "Let’s take six months to debate on when the meeting is going to take place to decide how to solve it type.’" |
Both men chuckled. |
"I can understand her feelings on the matter." |
"She will probably string me up by my balls but invite her tonight. By owl in the Great Hall. Her favourite flowers are lilies and roses any color but red. She only likes roses other than red because..." Morpheus made his voice much higher pitched "...honey that is so cliché. Giving a woman red roses. I like a man with... |
Both men outright laughed. |
"She loves anything chocolate and peanut butter. M&M’s makes a peanut butter version. She loves Reese’s Peanut Butter cups. They’re both muggle by the way. She’s also a sucker for a nice cheesecake. Let’s see. Don’t come on too strong, but don’t let her bully you either. She has no problem admitting when she is wrong e... |
Sirius looked at him curiously. "Why are you telling me all this?" |
Morpheus just looked at him. "I..." He just shook his head. "My reasons are my own. There are some things that are not my story to tell. But it is not malicious in the slightest. I promise you that." He said in sincerity. He looked at his watch. "You better go. Dinner will be in about ninety minutes." He watched Sirius... |
