"Merlin I love you two," Adria whispered, shaking her head, she pushed herself up and over to them, lying on Finn who wrapped his arm around her shoulder, "I don't think it would be possible to live in a world without you two, I love you both far too much, and I'm gonna fight for everyone, and merlin will I fight for you."

"This is getting far too sad," Milo sighed, reaching over and squeezing Adria's hand, "so answer this, what would you want to do if there wasn't a war?"

"Well move in with Sirius, but right after high school, I suppose that's entirely unrealistic, don't you think?" Adria chuckled, "so I suppose we'd stay with dad for a while until we were able to rent out a small place, probably get some muggle jobs to keep us going, I don't think I'd really want a wizarding job just yet, because well, I don't really know what I want to do, I don't think any profession is really for me, if I'm honest, I love herbology, and I love charms and transfiguration is alright too, but I'm not sure about a career for them!"

"I know," Milo sighed, shaking his head, "It's weird that we have to think about our futures so quickly, we're only bloody seventeen, almost eighteen but that doesn't make much of a difference, does it?"

"No, it does not," Adria grumbled, shaking her head, throwing it back in frustration, "it's as though we are told for years to do what we are told, to raise our hands to speak, to do everything on time, and then all of a sudden we're just thrown out to fend for ourselves, with no real sense of what to do, of what is realistic and what is a complete dream, our goals matter but how can we reach them without at least some help?"

"Merlin, I have no clue," Finn sighed, frowning at Adria's words that where so entirely true, "please tell me when you figure it out."

"I don't think I'll be able to, Finny, but I'll try my best."

"Hey baby," Sirius smiled softly as he watched Adria climb into bed, only his shirt tumbling over her body as she pushed herself closer to him, her head soon resting on his chest as he wrapped his arm around her, his fingers running through her hair as she lay there, a content sigh soon rolling off her lips.

"Hi," she whispered, pressing a small kiss to his bare chest as they lay there in the darkness of the dormitory, the others had yet to come back yet to go to bed, but both Adria and Sirius thought it wise to get an early night, seeing as their day had been nothing but eventful.

Adria was sure she was ready to collapse from studying, and whilst she had a most pleasant time with Finn and Milo, it seemed as though that was the only good part of her day, as every minute afterwords kept her on her toes.

"How was your day?" asked Sirius, leaning forward to kiss her forehead, lingering for a few moments as she pushed herself closer to him, draping her leg over him as well as her arm.

"Merlin, it was eventful," she grumbled, a sigh tumbling from her lips, "I haven't seen you all day, not to mention my brain is completely fried from studying, I think I'm gonna explode, and then Marlene needed me to help her with this thing, and Keira- I told you about Keira, right? Well she was crying and I couldn't just let her cry, I just feel so bad for her she lost her best friend and it wasn't even her fault!

Well, anyway, Mary comes to me sobbing about Miles too because he sent her a letter telling her he was in love with her, so it was happy tears but she was so bloody emotional, "it's my week Adria, please have some sympathy!" she bloody shouted in the library, got us both kicked out, so I'm here with all of my study notes almost falling out of my hands and she's just crying beside me, reciting this bloody letter to me whilst I try not to kill her.

Then I had to go see Slughorn about the exam, and he invited me to another one of his Slug Club parties, and I've put off going to see him for bloody ages solely because of that bloody club, Lily is an official member now, by the way, poor girl, but not me, I don't think I'd be able to cope, so I told him I was celebrating your birthday, so if you get a random happy birthday from Slughorn in a few weeks, you know why," she giggled, watching the amusement strike Sirius' face as he listened intently to her.

"Bloody hell that was eventful," he chuckled softly, lifting her chin and capturing her lips, unable to hide his smile as she pushed herself forward, one hand cupping his cheek and the other holding her up as she kissed him back.

"I needed that," she giggled, running a hand through his hair when she pulled away, "I think we should have a day."

"A day?"

"Yes, a day!" she exclaimed, sitting up in the bed whilst he traced his fingers along her thigh softly, "y'know, maybe every Sunday we just spend it alone, together, maybe reading or going to Hogsmeade, or even studying, I don't care, I just want you, and I want to be able to see you every week properly, without our friends getting in the way, or exams, because I don't want you to ever feel like you're going to lose me again, or that I'm going to fall out of love with you, because ever since you told me that, I never ever want you to ever feel like that.

I'm so in love with you, and we barely get to see each other, it's so hectic, with exams, and classes and friends, and just everything going on, I think that Sunday should be our day, and we'll do anything, and maybe Blair and Remus, or Lily and James, or Peter and Thea or all of them can join us some time, and I don't care if we lie in bed all day just with each other sleeping or talking or avoiding the world, I don't care what we do, if that be each other or-"

She was cut off by Sirius laughing, and soon did the cheeky grin fall onto her lips as she attacked his lips, soon speaking, "I just want a day I can look forward to, where I can be with you for the full day and not have to worry about missing you, because merlin I'm so in love with you, and seeing you at the end of each night makes an eventful day doable, but selfishly, it's not enough."

He couldn't help the adoration from shining through as he stared at her, love in his eyes and his heart swelling, he reached for her hand, guiding it to his chest and clutching it tightly, "you are something else, Adria Hopkins, but that sounds like a completely perfect idea."

"Really?" she asked, her grin bright as she stared at him.

"Really," he nodded, pulling her down to lie with him.

"Tell me about your day," she whispered.

"Well James wanted to test out this thing he got from Zonko's so we waited for Snape to walk down the hall and threw it at him, merlin he flew like ten feet into the air that we bolted away before we could even see the outcome, then Peter comes to me completely freaking about baby Peter, bloody mental he is, I swear, but I said to him, I said Pete, you have done nothing but look after Thea, so if you can look after a seventeen year old, I think you can look after a little baby, what's the big deal?

So, I think he got the message, and then I went to the library, I actually stepped foot into the library myself, and I got another astronomy book, seems alright, I also picked a muggle book up for us to read," he grinned, watching the smile widen on her lips as she nodded, "I reckon we can read it tomorrow though, you're bloody falling asleep."

"Very true," she nodded, yawning as she done so, "I love you."

"To the moon and back?"

"And a stop within the stars."
