I woke up in the middle of the night in Grimmaulds Place. I looked at the clock. It was 12 at night. On the bright side, it's Christmas Eve.

I went downstairs. I heard talking from the kitchen. I saw Sirius sitting at the table with Harry, Hermione, Ron, Ginny and the twins.

"Hey", I said softly. Everyone looked at me.

"Haylie", Hermione said. "Are you alright? How are you feeling?"

"I'm fine. I'm not dying anymore", I said.

"You had us worried, Hayles", Ginny said.

"I'm sorry, but I'm fine now. You don't have to worry", I said.

"I hope we didn't wake you up", Sirius said, standing up.

I shook my head. "Just another nightmare", I said. I walked over to the seat next to Sirius and sat down.

"Do you want something to drink?" Sirius asked.

"A hot chocolate will be nice", I said. Sirius kissed me on the cheek before he walked into the kitchen.

I looked at the kids. They looked at me in shock. "Are you two together?" Harry asked.

"I don't know. We're going to talk about it once the holidays are over", I said.

"Do you like him?" Hermione asked.

"Well...it's more like..." I started. I stopped myself. It was more than like. I think I'm in love with him.

"You're in love with him", Ginny realized.

I looked at Harry. This must have been weird since Sirius is his Godfather and my Dad isn't his biggest fan.

"Is it crazy?" I asked the kids. Though, the question was mainly towards Harry.

"I mean, as long as you're both happy, then it's meant to be, right?" Harry asked.

"Maybe", I said. "So what brings you all here?"

"Dad was attacked at the Ministry", Ron said.

"What? I'm just hearing about this. Is he okay?" I asked.

"We don't know", One of the twins said.

"I'm sure he'll be alright. Arthur Weasley is a great man and he's tough. Let's not loose faith", I said.

A few minutes later, Sirius gave me my hot chocolate. He sat down in the chair next to me.

There was a silence as we all drank our hot chocolate. The silence was broken by one of the twins.

"Have you two slept together?"

I choked on my hot chocolate. I started coughing. Sirius patted my shoulder.

What the hell is that going to do? YOU PAT THE BACK! THE BACK!!

"Haylie and I have decided to talk about it after the holidays. Besides, if you all are really staying here, we should all have fun", Sirius said.

"Until then you kiss each other good night and kiss each other a get well soon?" The other twin asked.

"That's not your concern, George", I said once I had finally stopped coughing.

"How'd you know I was George?"

"Wait, was I right?" I asked.

"No", Both the twins said.

"Okay. Fred. George. Ron. Whoever you are, we will leave my love life and Sirius's love life out of our conversations and we will leave that to two adults to decide", I said.
