*Sorry for the long post, and I definitely realized that i needed something a bit different, eleven hours after I first posted this. Sorry for the confusion. IF you read the chapter already, the change is at the end. Nothing too crucial, just ties things together a bit. Enjoy!"
Susan filed away the last set of minutes and closed the cabinet. The room where the old minutes were kept was easily three times the size of her small apartment in North Carolina. It was filled with floor to ceiling cabinets that held minutes from every wizarding proceeding since the 1300s. Susan stretched and wondered how muggles sometimes actually surpassed wizards in some areas. She missed the ease of carrying hundreds of documents on a small thumb drive on her keychain.
It was finally time for her Christmas holiday. She was absolutely ecstatic to be returning to Grimmauld Place. She returned to her small desk and gathered her purse and leftover lunch, ready to walk out the door.
"Miss Landings," she winced as Lucius called. While he hadn’t been a terrible man to work for, she still couldn't shake the fear of being found out before it was time. She quickly set her things down and steppe into his office.
"Mr. Malfoy?"
"It is a tradition in my house to host a Yuletide party. Since you are my assistant, social protocol dictates that I invite you, and that you attend. One week from tonight, do not be late. An owl will find you with the invitation. Dress appropriately."
Susan was slightly shocked. Lucius Malfoy was inviting her to the Malfoy's Christmas party. Well, really demanding she attends, but it was still a step. "I am honored, Mr. Malfoy."
"That will be all, Miss Landings." He never looked up from his work.

At Grimmauld Place
Susan waited until she was safe inside Number 12 before changing into her own image. Being Caridei again felt good, like slipping into lounge pants after a long day at work. She took her clothes to her old bedroom and went tot find Sirius. She found him with Remus, Kingsley, and Dumbledore in the kitchen. They were discussing the goings on at Hogwarts. With the Ministry spying on Dumbledore through Dolores Umbridge, the Order would have to tread carefully.
"Here child, have a cup of tea." Dumbledore smiled at Caridei as she entered the kitchen. A teapot poured the steaming brown liquid into a blue mug, which floated to her. "Sit, my dear."
All Caridei wanted dot do was run to Sirius and fade away in his arms. She was sure this was not something Dumbledore was unaware of, but she must maintain composure. She sat next to him instead and took a sip of tea. The warmth flowed through her body, soothing her. "How is Arthur?" she asked as she set the mug down.
"He'll survive, thanks to Harry." Remus answered.
"But the idea of him seeing what the Dark Lord sees is troubling." Kingsley added.
"It could be helpful though," Sirius interjected, "If we know what they are doing we can use that against them."
"If Harry can see into Tom's mind," Dumbledore mused, "how long, until Tom can see into his?" The table was quiet as the wizards contemplated this fact. "He will have to learn Occlumency. Severus will teach him."
"Albus" Remus' face was filled with concern. "Severus hates the boy."
"Severus, will do his job. He does not hate Harry."
"I do not like this idea Dumbledore," Sirius growled. "I still don't trust Snape, and I don't trust him with my god son. Let me teach the boy."
"Severus is the best choice in this field, and since he is at Hogwarts, no one will question a student taking extra lessons in a field that he is struggling in." The table was again, silent, this time with consent. "Caridei, how have you been?"
"I have been invited to Malfoy’s party at his manor. A week from today."
"Excellent" Dumbledore proclaimed, "You can reveal your true identity, there."
Sirius choked on his tea. Remus was shocked, but it was Kingsley that spoke. “So soon, Albus, that is a..."
"Dangerous move?" Dumbledore finished, “I am aware, thank you. But we must move quickly. We do not know if Tom has already seen what Harry sees. He may know more than we think. We need her on the inside as soon as we can. The more proof we have, the more likely the Ministry will open their eyes. The better our defenses."
"I'm ready." Caridei said. Everyone looked at her, “I can get in." Dumbledore smiled and they began discussing a plan for the party.
Caridei felt something brush her leg and she quickly glanced down. Sirius had morphed partially and his long black tail was resting on her chair, brushing her thigh. Caridei morphed as well, and flicked a smooth soft fox tail at him. They sat there, through the planning, gently caressing each other.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Caridei spent her nights with Sirius in the week before the Malfoy's party. The night before, they returned to the Irish Coast. They make love to the rhythm of the ocean. She came three times before they finished. Sirius rolled over and looked into Caridei's eyes.
"Are you ready?" his brow was furrowed with concern.
"Sirius" Caridei sighed, "you don't need to worry. I will be fine."
"It's dangerous. I want to be sure that you know what you're getting into."
"I've done it before.”
"It was different before. You left them too and the Dark Lord will not be as forgiving."
"I have to Sirius. I have to get back in. For The Order."
"I can't lose you Caridei."
" Sirius..."
"No, Caridei. I’ve lose so much, some of it more than once. I want to be with you. When all this is over, I want it to be you and me, Harry too. The way it was meant to be.
Caridei was speechless. For so long, even as a muggle, she had been living in a world in which they were at war. She had not yet imagined a time when they wouldn't be. For a moment she thought of Number 12, cleaned and restored. She thought of Sirius in the bed beside her. She saw the two of them at breakfast as Harry sat down to join them. She was suddenly filled with a sense of peace. It was the first time she had felt peace in 14 years.
Sirius turned away and grabbed his coat out of he left breast pocket. He pulled a long silver chain with a single charm; a black orb the size of a marble. In the middle or the orb, a small light shown brightly.
"This charm, contains light from the brightest star in the sky. In the constellation I am named for."
"Sirius, the dog star."
"I want you to have it.”I know you can’t wear it, not yet, but one day." He dropped the necklace in her hand, closed her fingers around hit. "I love you, Caridei Burke." he said as he kissed her hand.
Caridei didn't breathe. The charm felt hot in her hand and tears welled in her eyes. She leaned in and kissed him. "I love you too, Sirius Black." She rolled him over, and they made love until the sun rose.
