Their Daughter Part 6

Tenison was high in the dining room of Grimmuald Place as the Black brothers stared one another down. Regulus knew that part of Sirius's anger was because he thought he had lost his child to his brother, much like when they were young, and their parents favored Regulus over him. But this was Sirius's own fault; Ali had tried even after she had been hurt that Sirius went to Harry first. Sirius could not get over the fact that Ali was close with the Malfoys and had taken to projecting his anger to the only person who would love him more than anything if he tried.

Sirius wouldn't admit it out loud, but he was jealous of Regulus. He always had been, but coming back from the hell he had been trapped in to find that his own daughter had chosen his brother over him hurt more than any torture he had ever faced. Regulus had always been the perfect child who everyone adored. He had gotten fewer beatings as a child than Sirius, had gotten better grades in school, and now was considered a dad to Ali. It was only natural for Sirius to go back to what he did during his school years and focus his attention on the people who showed him attention. Harry was his godchild, but Harry also had no one else, meaning Sirius didn't have to worry about being replaced. Sirius also felt awful for the events that transpired the night of James and Lily's deaths and was trying to make up for it.

"If you just gave her a chance, you may find she is much more like you than you think." Regulus sat at the table again, watching his older brother run his hands through his hair. "She is so headstrong and stubborn that I know it revivals yours. And I cannot express enough how she just wants to be good enough for you to love, much like how you tried for years with Mother."

Sirius sighed in defeat, regrettting the painful things he had put his daughter through. "I do love her. I just…."

"Are shit at showing it. I saw the look in your eyes when Ali called me dad; I know that hurt you. But instead of talking about it, you just lash out at her or me or Remus, making it seem like you really don't care at all. I never tried to fill that role in her life. I was and will always be Uncle Reg, and that is fine. Do I see her as my child and love her like my own? Yes, absolutely. I will do anything for her, and if that fills that role as a father, I will. But I don't want to take that from you. You had so much stolen from you in your life, Sirius: your childhood, your parents, your best friend, 12 years of your life. The last thing I want to do is take more away, but I cannot and will not put you above her. She deserves so much in this world, and you should help her get it. We both should. But the question remains: will you put aside your 'every Slytherin is a Death Eater' mindset to do so? Because people have changed and we are close to the Malfoys, Notts, Parkinson's, and the Zabini's. They are not the same people anymore. Things have changed in the war; sides have changed. But you haven't. Ali is loyal to a fault and is a great judge of character; she won't betray the Order, nor will the others. Just give people a chance, Sirius."

"I did give people a chance, and it…..it got my best friend and his wife killed. We trusted Peter. I trusted Peter enough to have James make him the secret Keeper. It got them killed, and he was our friend. How am I supposed to trust that Lucius Malfoy has the Order's best interest at heart when my own friend of 9 years didn't?" Sirius started pacing before his brother. His head is cloudy in memories, tears blurring his eyes as his best friend's dead body flashed in front of him. "I know that I'm shit at showing Ali I love her, and part of it is because I'm scared to get close only to lose her again to someone like Lucius Malfoy. I owe it to James to look after Harry, but that doesn't mean I don't love him like my own because I do. But I love Ali just as much, and I know she has you, Remus, and even Snivillious to love her. And I want to try to improve things with her; I just don't know how. How do I fix what I've done, Regulus?"

Regulus caught the double meaning to his brother's question, "You can't. Sirius, you can't fix what happened to James and Lily. You can't fix how you've treated Ali so far."

Sirius felt his heart crack at his brother's words. He had hoped to get Ali back, but it seemed he had gone too far. He started for the stairs when Regulus continued.

"But that doesn't mean you can't fix it from now on. You can't change the past and bring James back, but you can make them proud by loving and protecting Ali and Harry. I mean, yeah, they don't get along now, but I think part of that is because he has seen and heard how you and James treated outsiders. I know they used to play together as babies, not that they would remember it, but Remus told me. Tell how close they were till everything happened, and bring them back together. Stop being afraid of losing Ali to someone when all everyone wants to do is love her and keep her safe. And maybe you don't trust Lucius or the others right now, but I trust them more than Dumbledore most of the time. And you should talk to Moody about the help Lucius has given the Order even if he refuses to say he has aligned himself with us." Regulus held his brother's shoulder, "Give them a chance. Don't let the other kids make remarks about Ali and her friends. Talk to her. I wouldn't start trying to act like her father, but maybe a friend? Or a really distant uncle. You'll figure it out, Sirius; you're smarter than you give yourself credit for."

Sirius followed his brother up the stairs, going to bed with hope, lighting a flame in his heart for the first time in years.

Days following the talk between Regulus and Sirius, Ali noticed that the golden trio had become slightly nicer to her. She does not make as many comments about her or her friends. She had no idea what was happening but wasn't going to complain. Regulus had come to her that morning telling her that he thought it a better idea if Blaise came to their house instead of her going over there. He believed it would show that the Slytherins were not as bad as all the others thought.

At first, Ali was hesitant about the idea. Still, after being reassured that Remus would be home as well as Regulus, Ali agreed. The thought of Blaise being at her house surrounded by her tormentors made her sick to her stomach. She wanted nothing more than to run away for a few days, but that ship had sailed, and it was only hours before Blaise arrived when Regulus called for 'those who live in this house meeting.' By the time Ali had gotten dressed and cleaned her room, everyone was already in the kitchen since it seemed to be the usual gathering place for the group. She straightened her sweater and did a quick glance down to make sure her outfit was still okay. It was slightly chilly in the house, so she had gone with a Bulgarian Quidditch sweater that was mainly red with black details and a pair of cropped black leggings with matching fuzzy socks. She and Blaise had already decided to stay for most of the day and then go and get dinner somewhere in Diagon Ally so she could change later. Remus and Regulus walked at the same time as Sirius and Harry.

"I'm assuming everyone is confused about why this meeting was called," Remus started. "There seems to be an assumption that Slyertians and those associated with them are all Death Eaters or traitors."

Scowls had overtaken most of the younger one's faces in the room, as well as Sirius's. Ali looked at her uncle, trying to figure out where this was going. She knew the reason was to inform everyone that Blaise would be here for a few days, but there was something else going on; she could feel it.

"After speaking with Dumbledore and getting his permission, not that I technically need the permission as it is my house, but nevertheless. A few individuals will be coming to stay here for the upcoming days, and there will be a couple of visitors as well." Regulus's eye caught Ali's, and gave her a wink just as the sound of footsteps entered the foyer. Ali was too short to see over everyone's heads to see who was there, but from the looks on a couple faces, including the elder Weasley, it was someone they were not fond of.

A flash of white hair caught Ali's eye as the group entered the kitchen. Her mouth dropped in shock as she took in her uncle Severus, leading the Malfoys, Blaise, and Theo towards Regulus and Remus. Cissa shot her a wink while Draco eyed Harry and Sirius up and down; Blaise kept his eyes locked on Ali, and Theo thoroughly enjoyed the shocked looks from the Weasleys.

"Sorry, we're late. Draco took too long in the mirror this morning," Severus said. Draco glared at his Godfather before continuing on with his glare at Potter.

"Well, allow me to introduce everyone. This is Narcissa and Lucius Malfoy, which I'm sure almost all of you know. This is Blaise, Theodore, and Draco. Narcissa and Lucius will be in and out for the next bit trying to get caught up on Order business while the latter three will be staying here for a bit." Remus shook Lucius's hand before joining Dora beside Ali, who was bouncing on her toes, overly excited at the fact that it was going to be back to normal in the next couple of days.

"You can't be serious. They are staying here?" Sirius exclaimed, running his hand down his face before glaring at Lucius. "I still remember what you did, Malfoy."

"I don't often agree with Sirius, but Dumbledore said this was alright?" Arthur asked. Ali knew that the Malfoys hadn't been the kindest to the Weasleys in the past, and she felt sorry for them in that aspect, but Lucius was not the same man as he was during her first year. And Narcissa wouldn't hurt a flea.

Remus stepped forward again, "He did. Narcissa and Lucius will be helping with some scooting missions that are coming up since they know that area of town better and are considering joining the Order. The three brats are mainly for Ali, though."

"Did you miss us short stack?" Theo opened his arms for Ali, who jumped straight into them. Theo gave her a twirl before pulling on her braid. She barely had time to catch her breath before Draco had her spinning again and tickling her sides, making her squeal.

"Of course I missed you! What kind of question is that?!" Ali giggled before hugging Blaise despite her uncle Remus glaring at them. Blaise took her hand and gave it a squeeze when they parted before facing the other children in the room. Theo and Draco took the opposite sides of Ali, showing a united front against the ones who had been horrible towards her.

Ali was ecstatic that they were going to be in the house more. Maybe her summer wouldn't end so badly. Sirius was shocked that Dumbledore had cleared this and even more shocked that Lucius would help the Order. He did not trust him and would go on those missions even if he had to go as Padfoot. This was outrageous and downright stupid, allowing death eaters to snoop freely in the Order business. Looking at his daughter, he could see how happy she was to be surrounded by her friends, but he also knew that he would have to keep a closer eye on her than he already was. He had asked the trio to play nice so he had more people watching her. He did trust that she was a Death Eater, and now he was surrounded by them.

"Al, Kreatcher sat up extra beds in your room for the boys. Pansy should be joining later, but she had something come up with her grandfather. Her mother said she would owl when she was on her way." Regulus leveled each of the boys with a look. "You lot know the rules. I don't care if you have fun but clean up after yourselves, and don't be too loud when it gets late. Curfew is at 10pm and no later. If you are leaving the house, go in pairs at least and let one of the adults you know be aware of where you're going. You lot know the food is fair game, and Kretcher has already been instructed to grocery shop more often. The house is also fair game, but be respectful, please."

"Don't worry, Uncle Reg. I'll keep them in line," Draco smirked at the other three before Severus whacked him upside the head.

Ali turned and looked at the younger swarm of redheads and others in the room. She cleared her throat to get the attention on her, which made her take an unconscious step back toward Blaise and Draco. "Everyone, this is Theo, Blaise and Draco. I'm sure most of you know this, but just in case. You are welcome to join our fun, but we get if you don't want to." Ali pulled the boys out of the room after greeting her aunt and uncle. They sat on the living room floor with wizards, chess, and a few other games while a movie played in the background. Kreacher brought out snack trays for them, and the laughter was music to Regulus's ears after all the quiet he'd heard from Ali this summer.

Ali could feel the stares from those around them, most directed at Draco and her. She could see the disbelief every time Draco laughed or made a joke. This was the side of Draco that was rarely seen by others. An hour had passed before a chess match went on between Draco and Ali. Blaise sat to one side of Ali, and Theo was in the middle of her and Draco, watching the death match continue.

"What dare shall I have you do this time, Als" Draco taunted her while he moved his piece. It was an ongoing rule that when she and Draco played wizarding chess, the loser had to do a dare of the winner's choice. It was always a toss-up in who won, as both were incredibly good at the game.

"Don't think too hard; I wouldn't want to overwork that one brain cell of yours." Ali stuck her tongue out at Draco when she stole his knight.

Draco was about to reply when a shadow came over the top of the board. Looking up, there was the eldest two Weasley children and Fleur. Ali could see the hearts in Theo's eyes before she kicked him in the shin. "She's engaged, you idiot."

Bill and Charlie chuckled, "We saw you guys playing games and were curious if we could join you? I have my board and thought we could do a little tournament."

Charlie held up his chess board. The teens all nodded, and with a snap of his fingers, Charlie's board was all set up. Bill took one side of the board before looking at Theo. "You up for a challenge?"

Theo crawled to the opposite side of the small table. Bill made the first move, and the game commenced. Charlie and Fleur took seats around the rest of them and started trash-talking with them, too. Charlie was on Ali's side, whereas Fleur took Dracos. Regulus, Molly, and Narcissa looked around the corner and had smiles spread across their faces at the sight they saw. It wasn't the younger kids trying to get along with the others, but the eldest and Molly knew that her children all looked up to their brothers, so maybe there was hope in this crazy plan after all.

A/N: Thank you both so much for your requests, they both chose the same prompt so I just decided to double up as I have also already done Kiss Scenario 10 here. It's just a little One shot/ dialogue piece but I hope you like it. Thanks for your patience

Warnings:  Angst. Mentions of death, murder and torture.

Word Count: 639

Credits to Gif Creator.

The dark mark stared back at her; the stark contrast of jet-black ink against the deathly pale skin of his forearm was a shocking sight to behold.

Severus had finally chosen to reveal his dark, sordid past to his girlfriend y/n after a few months of dating, he figured if he was going to propose to her, she deserved to know the worst of him.

Removing the glamour charm from his arm had been the easy part, confessing the details of his allegiance to the dark lord was harder to articulate.

She stared at the exposed area of his arm; his usual black sleeve had been rolled up to allow her a full view of the monstrosity. She couldn’t believe what she was hearing, that was, what little she actually heard of his excuses before her brain completely shut down. Her mind went blank, her vision grew fuzzy, her hearing faded to a low muffle and her body turned completely numb to all movement and feeling.

There was only one thought on her mind.

Had he been there the night they died?

It was Voldemort’s followers, the Death Eaters, who had been responsible for the murder of her entire family, along with many others. Tortured to a fate worse than death, the Death Eaters bled them dry of every scrap of information they had regarding Albus Dumbledore, until finally allowing them the kindness of death. Her mother, father, sister and unborn niece were all killed in a single night. Everyone she had on this Earth, gone.

“Were you there.” Y/n managed to squeak out, her throat scratchy from the lack of moisture. “Were you there when they killed my family?”

Severus could only nod in return.

“Did you kill you them?”

Severus wanted to say no. He wanted to tell her he had nothing to do with it, that he never laid a finger on them, but he had to be honest.

“Truthfully…? I have no idea.” And it was true. The young Severus had blocked out the faces of those he had killed in cold blood, his way of coping, forgetting that they were real people with real lives. He truly had no idea who had suffered at his hands during Voldemort’s rise to power.

“Billions of people in the world, and I choose you.” Y/n sobbed, bringing her hands to her face. “How stupid was that.”

She was in such a complete state of shock, she practically burst out laughing. But the look on her face said she found nothing about this funny.

“You don’t mean that.” Severus whispered hoarsely.

“Don’t I?” The pale blue eyes that once sparkled in her head had turned grey, cold and lifeless. The last spark of joy she had held onto all these years had finally flickered out. All light extinguished.

“Please, that wasn’t me. I’m a different man now.” Severus begged, trying to make her understand.

“Don’t give me that.” She spat. “You can’t erase what you’ve done, all those people, those families who suffered because of you. You might have forgiven yourself for your past mistakes, but not everyone has that luxury.”

Severus dropped to his knees, ashamed.

“I love you, y/n, that hasn’t changed.”

“But I have.” She turned her back, refusing to look at him. “I don’t love you anymore.”

“Please, don’t do this.” A stream of tears ran down Severus’ cheek.

His tainted arm reached out to stop her from leaving. She winced, shoving him violently away from her.

Y/n turned back as she reached the door, staring down at him, a crumpled mess of black fabric sprawled pathetically on the floor.

“I don’t ever want to see you again. Get out of my life!” She yelled.

The slamming of the door emphasised the finality of her words which echoed around the room, consuming Severus whole.

The Fall 5

Harry Potter AU 

Pairings: Sirius Black x Reader 

Link to Chapter 4

Rating: M

______

You stood in the kitchen looking down at the potion that Tonks brought you for your hand.

“It will hurt like hell but you’ll be perfect as soon as it dries.”

You muttered a few choice words under your breath as Harry stepped in. He looked down at your hand with a knowing look. Harry had grown used to seeing you come home with random injuries from your job.

And for some reason, he wants to be an Auror too.

You thought with a smile as he walked over to kiss your cheek.

“Alright?”

You nodded.

“I will be. You should have seen the other guy.”

“That’s the same thing she said to me.”

Harry and yourself turned as Sirius walked into the room. It didn’t take you knowing the man better than anyone else in the room to know something had made him mad. He had that frown that made it look like he was ready to burn the world down.

You made a mental note to talk to him later about the conversation with Remus. Now, in front of Harry, it didn't seem like a good idea. The last thing that you wanted was to worry the boy with the concerns of adults.

“Let's take a look at that hand.”

Sirius said softly as he gently lifted you onto the table. You could automatically see Harry’s questioning gaze as Tonks gave him a smirk. He had probably gotten used to you screaming at Sirius whenever he was within 5 feet of you and now here he was standing between your legs. This would be another conversation that you would have to have with the boy later.

The pain shooting through your hand pulled you from your thoughts. Sirius slowly unwrapped the bandage and sighed at your scorched skin.

“Darling, this looks horrible.”

You handed him the potion and closed your eyes a little more dramatically than necessary.

“Just get it over with!”

Sirius shrugged and poured the liquid on your hand. You automatically winced in pain. Tonks definitely wasn’t kidding about this hurting!

“Fucking bloody hell!”

You groaned. Sirius’ eyes rolled to you with a smirk.

“That’s what happens when you have to be the rebel.”

You opened your eyes as the pain finally started subsiding. Your hand was perfectly healed.

“Well, I wonder where I got that behavior from.”

Severus Snape, who knew one even seemed to notice was in the room, stood. He had enough watching Sirius and yourself already!

“Let me guess the little power couple is back together again?”

Both Sirius and yourself automatically turned in Snape’s direction with matching scowls. You slid off of the table ignoring Sirius, who had reached out in some feeble attempt, to stop you.

“Looks like you can see things! Good job!”

Snape frowned. He already dreaded being on the same side as the two of you. Every time he looked at Sirius and yourself, Snape was reminded of his horrible childhood.

“Ms. Potter, your sassy attitude is no longer cute.”

You raised an eyebrow. Normally you wouldn’t argue with this tool in front of Harry but today was a new day.

“You know, Severus, you say a lot of shit for a man who doesn’t talk much. Oh, while you’re here, I thought that I would give you a friendly warning if I find out that you give Harry any trouble this year...I have no issue coming to Hogwarts and kicking your ass. I’ve done it before and I can do it again.”

“You little bit…”

Sirius stepped in at this point. He was perfectly amused watching you hand Snape his share of an ass-chewing but the moment the word “bitch” was about to be thrown out; Sirius was done.

“Whoa! I’ll give her a doughnut to kick your butt.”

Snape looked between the two of you with a scowl before turning and storming out. You smirked, knowing that you had won this round.

“See you later!”

You called out before turning back to Harry.

“That was fun.”

“Brillant.”

Harry said with a smirk as Remus walked in looking rather annoyed. Had it been another time, Harry would have asked Remus if he was alright, however, he was still taking in the news about Sirius and yourself.

“So the two of you are together now?”

Sirius glanced at Remus, who was shaking his head. You had quickly put together what happened and knew this would be a fun conversation later.

“Yes, we are.”

When Harry smiled a genuine smile, you were pleased. That told you everything was fine with him. Why it wouldn’t be, you weren't sure. Maybe now he could have the family that he wanted (and deserved).

“Cool!”

You reached out and attempted to fix his messy hair before turning your attention to Remus. The poor man looked dreadful. The full moon was the day before so the cuts on his face made sense. Walking over, you gently put a hand on his forehead.

“You’re burning up.”

You were used to being the one that took care of Remus. That had been your job as a kid and it just made sense to continue as an adult.

“I’ll be fine.”

Remus said, gently. He wasn’t about to snap at you. Why he snapped at Sirius, he wasn’t sure. Remus had a feeling that the two of you would be back together rather quickly. Maybe he was concerned that you would just end up hurt again like you had years before. If Sirius got locked up again, it would be Remus that would have to pick up the pieces (and he would do it without complaint). Maybe it was the protective friend that was trying to pop out

You, meanwhile, wasn’t about to let this go because Remus said I’ll be fine. He would be a fool if he thought for a moment that you would.

“We need to put something on your face. How is the scar on your chest?”

Remus sighed, miserably.

“Tore open again.”

He didn’t have to look up at you to know that you were giving him that motherly concerned expression.

“Take your shirt off. I can fix that too.”

Remus shook his head.

“It's okay, Y/n.”

You rolled your eyes ignoring Sirius’ worried expression. This was the argument that the three of you + James had every month when it came to Remus’ transformations. It was usually Sirius and James holding him down while you played doctor.

“Come on, Remus. I have seen every man in this room naked. No need to be shy.”

After that sentence left your mouth, you had to bite your tongue at the expression on Sirius, Remus, and Harry’s faces.

“What? It's true.”

You said with a smirk before walking to your bag and looking for the healing agent that you kept for Remus’.

“I really hate that thought.”

Remus muttered. You chuckled.

“Remus, it was hard being friends with you all and not seeing nakedness. I had to change Harry’s diaper, and Sirius...well...you can put that together yourself.”

Before you were able to even get to Remus, Tonks came back into the room looking rather pale. You knew that look well.

“What?”

You asked. Tonks sighed.

“Marlene Mckinnon’s niece was found dead today.”

You put the potion bottle that you were holding down and quickly looked up. Sirius and Remus were as pale as you had turned. Hearing Marlene’s name brought back even more pain.

“This is the one from Marlene’s brother that survived. Things look suspicious.”

Tonks said as she timidly held out a file to you. You quickly took the file and started reading down the report.

Suspicious was putting things lightly. This looked just like Marlene’s murder years before. You sighed. Looking up, you met Sirius’ gaze. The two of you had been there the night the McKinnon’s were found.

“Kingsley and I took the case...we knew that you would want to investigate.”

Tonks said softly. You put the file down before turning your attention back to Harry.

“Better go get your school things ready.”

Harry nodded and quickly walked from the room. He knew that expression on your face well. It had been the one that he saw the day that you read about Sirius escaping from Azkaban and many other unhappy times.

Once Harry was gone, you turned to Tonks.

“We should go.”

Sirius was by your side in an instant.

“Love, I really don’t think you need to be going out there…”

You turned to look at him with a sad expression that broke his heart.

“Sirius things are starting just like they were years ago. I owe this to Marlene. This is just an investigation.”

“Want me to go with you?”

He asked, softly. Your eyes immediately widened.

“Sirius, you know you can’t leave the house.”

Sirius rolled his eyes.

“Animagus here, love.”

You shook your head. This was the last thing that you were even about to agree to at the moment. Sirius was crazy if he thought for one moment that you would say yes! The two of you had just gotten back together for heaven’s sake. You were not about to risk him being taken from you in any way! If Sirius thought that he was going to be tagging along with you one every job to make sure that you didn’t get hurt; he had another thing coming.

Damn his protective nature…

You thought before wrapping your arms around his shoulders.

“No. I want you to stay here.”

“Y/n…”

“Sirius, no. I don’t want to risk anything.”

Sirius finally nodded. He wasn’t happy but he decided to back off. You were in a fragile state at the moment and he didn’t want to make it worse! It had everything to do with Marlene. Sirius knew that you were reliving another best friend’s death.

“Fine. Be careful.”

You nodded and kissed him softly.

A few moments later…

Tonks and yourself stood outside of an older home in the country. You smiled seeing Kingsley standing on the porch. He nodded as you walked up.

“Y/n, sorry to ruin your good day.”

You shook your head, politely.

“It's fine, Kingsley. I would have wanted the two of you to call me. So what have we got?

Kingsley turned as you flashed your badge to the two wizards at the door to step inside.

“There was no dark mark but everything was just like before. The place is destroyed and she was definitely hit with a killing curse.”

You looked around the disheveled living room before taking a breath when looking at Sarah McKinnon’s dead body on the floor.

“You would think the idiot would be a bit more creative...maybe take something from those muggle serial killers. Damn. Looks like we have some death eaters out of the closet.”

Tonks nodded.

“Which one could it be?”

You looked thoughtful.

“Well, there’s Malfoy, Kararoff, Pettigrew, and Greyback. The last two are definitely on my list.”

Kingsley looked thoughtful as he made a note on parchment.

“Well, start keeping a lookout for them.”

Walking back into Grimmauld Place that night, your mind was a pretzel of thoughts. You were thinking about Marlene, the murder of her family, and how you were going to get your hands on Pettigrew.

Sirius’ arms wrapping around your waist pulled you from your thoughts. You didn’t object when he turned you around. Instead, you snuggled your face into his shoulder. You smiled feeling Sirius press his face into your hair.

“Is it what we are thinking?”

You didn’t move from your place before nodding.

“It's exactly what we're thinking. Things are going to be like they were before.”

Sirius didn’t reply for a moment.

“We’ll figure it all out. At least you came home in one piece.”

You looked up with a smirk.

“Yes, I did.”

Sirius slowly pulled away.

“We should get you in bed?”

“Yours?”

You asked with a sly smile. It was a bold move. You knew if Remus was there he would probably be giving Sirius and yourself an earful about moving too quickly.

Sirius raised an eyebrow.

“I figured we were going to do that whole taking is slow nonsense?

You smiled. Maybe taking it slow was the “smart” thing but after a day like today; you wanted nothing more than some physical affection.

“Since when have we been the whole taking it slow type of people?”

Sirius smiled. In the dark, he looked just like the man that you had fallen in love with all the years before. “Yeah, we are more like the hell hath no fury type of people. Come on.”

The next morning, you stood making sure that Harry had everything ready for school.

“I think that I’m good, Auntie.”

He replied after you checked his list for the 12th time. Sirius smirked from his place in the corner. This was your typical behavior. When the two of you were kids, you were the one that made sure that James and Sirius were good to go.

You smiled.

“Here is where I give you my ceremonial be good speech...be good.”

“That's it?”

Sirius asked with a laugh. You shrugged.

“I feel kind of like a hypocrite telling him to be good after all of the stuff that we pulled.”

Sirius was quiet for a moment before nodding.

“Yeah, be good.”

Harry smiled. For the first time, he actually felt like he had parents. It was nice feeling like an actual family for once!

“Will you two be fine?”

Harry watched as Sirius and yourself exchanged looks. You smiled.

“Of course!”

Harry’s attention was drawn to Molly Weasely who was motioning him forward. He quickly gave Sirius and yourself a hug.

“I’ll see you both at Christmas.”

A Misfortune -> D.M.

Title: A Misfortune

Pairing: Draco x Fem! Reader

Summary: (Y/N) was kept hidden for years by her uncle Severus Snape since the one-who-shall-not-be-named killed her parents for betraying him. But will she ruin everything her uncle worked so hard to keep her from when she meets a boy in Diagon alley.

(A/N) this is my first time posting my works on tumblr! So I can’t promise this will be perfect. I love reading these and would love for you guys to tag me in yours! There will be a second part to this!

———————————————————

“Oh but please Uncle Severus!! I will blend in with all the Hogwarts students getting their books for school!” (Y/N) begged.

“I have told you a hundred times no.” He said coldly.

“This is so unfair.” She huffed.

“Well, it may have escaped your notice but life isn’t fair.” Snape said barely even looking at her from above his book.

“I have been shacked up in this house for years. I just want normalcy like the other witches and wizards of my time.” She chokes up little trying to display a little bit of water works that he uncle hates to see.

He throws his book down on the table in frustration and a little bit of worrisome. He looks at his niece intensely.

“You can go to Diagon alley for two hours but you must keep to your self and try as best as possible to avoid conversations with others especially Hogwarts students. If you don’t follow these rules and the Dark Lord finds out who you are it won’t be a great sight to see for the both of us.” He says sternly.

“And if any shall ask your name is?” He looks at her waiting for her answer.

“(Y/N) Rivers.” She says smiling.

“I will see you in precisely two hours.”

The words were barely out of Snapes mouth as she apperated herself to Diagon Alley. She looked around with pure excitement on her face. She has dreamed of this moment for years.

As she roamed the area she remembered her uncles words of keeping to herself. She tried as hard as she could to go unnoticed but if someone came up and talked to her she wasn’t going to exactly end the conversation right away. She was desperate for friends and socialization. It was extremely lonely where she lived. The only person she had to talk to was Azore her owl. She smiled wide as she found Apothecary. She needs loads of ingredients for her potion making. One of the many things Severus has taught her since she could remember.

She looked at everything in pure amazement and also grabbing a few things here and there you felt yourself bump something rather hard.

“What the hell?” You heard his voice boom.

You turned quickly and were met by his grey eyes and platinum hair. His angry facial faded just a little bit as he connected his eyes with yours.

“I’m so so-rry” she said stuttering a bit expecting another load outburst from him.

“Uh it’s fine. Just watch where you’re going next time yeah?” He said rubbing the back of his neck.

She nodded a little frazzled at the very attractive boy standing in front of her. She turned on her heels with embarrassment for the situation.

“Hey wait a minute! Do you attend Hogwarts?” He asked coming to stand beside you as you starred at potion ingredients trying to let the heavy blush fade from her cheeks.

“No I don’t.” She said quietly.

“Good thing it’s bloody awful. Then which do you attend?” He questions curiously.

You thought back to Snapes exact words ‘avoid conversations especially with Hogwarts students’ wondering if you should make a run for it or just say to hell with it before answering.

“I’m actually homeschooled.” She says picking up something to avoid eye contact.

“A witch homeschooled? Never heard of such thing.” He says as she shrug her shoulders. “I’m Malfoy by the way. Draco Malfoy.” He says reaching his hand out to shake hers.

“(Y/N).. uh Rivers.” She says quietly shaking his hand back.

“What did you forgot your name for a second?” He jokes and you laugh a little nervous laugh as she realized she almost said (Y/N) Snape.

You both look down after minutes and realize you’re still holding hands. You both pull away as your cheeks flush red together.

“DRACO!” She jumps a little as she hears a firm voice call for the boy standing next to her. Her eyes gravitate to the door of the store to see a man with longer platinum hair who had undeniable similar features to Draco.

You assumed it was his father has he straighten himself right up.

“Nice meeting you.” He whispers to her as he strolls over to his father and out the door leaving her with a little emptiness.

She longed for a few extra minutes with Draco. He was the first person she had talked to in what felt like forever. It sadden her to know she would probably never see him again in her lifetime. (Y/N) looked up at a clock in the store and realized how much time had gone by. She rushed to pay for her things and headed quickly out the store. Snape would never let her out of the house again if she was late.

As she was rushing past people she felt someone grab her by the elbow and pull her into an alley. She was surprised to be met by those grey eyes once again.

“Off so soon?” He ask with a smug smirk.

“My uncle will hex me if I’m not back home soon.” She says smiling a little bit only because of who she stood right in front of.

“School doesn’t start for a few more weeks. We should see each other in a more private setting.” He says now fully smirking.

“Uhh—“ She stutters a little unsure of what to say because there is no way Severus will let her out again anytime soon.

“How about I’ll owl you a time and place and if you show up will have a good time and if not well it is what it is yeah? But just to let you know I hope you chose the first choice.” She can’t help at smile at his words. “I’ll see you soon love.” He winks implying he’s not letting her pick the second choice.

The butterflies in her stomach stayed swarming as she apperated herself back home to wait for her Owl from Draco Malfoy .

Hello! I apologize in advance cause this is a weird request so you don’t have to if you don’t want to, but as I’m not used to writing for Snape I wanted to ask other writes how’d they view it.I wanted to write a story of a muggle being left in the care of Snape In request of their father (not a muggle, but a wizard friend of his) the relationship would be like that of the teen being his niece, how do you think the dynamic would be? Again, sorry this is a odd request. -Toad

Hi Toad, I’m only taking snape x reader requests right now, so I won’t be writing a one shot or imagine on this but here are my thoughts: 

Severus would NOT be happy with someone throwing him the responsibility of taking care of their kid but would reluctantly accept if need be. He would do everything he could to interact with them as little as possible, only doing so to give them food or any other necessity. He will disappear for large chunks of time and will refuse to tell them why but will know if they try and leave while he’s gone. All in all, neither the teen nor Severus will enjoy the dynamic in the slightest, but Severus will not run from his responsibility to care for them (by diong the bare minimum). 

[believinghurts]

So I know it’s been a hot minute since I’ve posted anything on here, butttttt I will be attempting to write another chapter of ‘Their Daughter’!! I am so excited and am hoping to have it up soon!!!

Warrington adjusted his robes and muttered something whereupon George lunged at him again, pushed him to the ground and started beating him up. Snape cast a spell that flung him across the room until he hit a bed.

“I do not want any offensive spells cast in this room, Severus!” the healer shrieked “I have patients here!”

“Can you all stop fighting and help my daughter first?” you shouted. Snape looked quite angry but the females stared at him equally irritated. Your husband picked himself up and came back to you.

“Mr Warrington, if you are responsible for this undo this jinx right now. You don’t want a baby to die, do you?” McGonagall said

“I don’t know the counter spell” he admitted “But I can tell you what hex I used” luckily the Transfiguration professor knew the spell to undo the harm and cast it. Unfortunately, Savannah’s skin still had a greenish hue but it felt normal again. She started crying and some bubbles left her mouth

“What’s happening now?” you exclaimed. Madam Pomfrey put a hand on your back

“As it seems, Mr Warrington did not cast the spell correctly so these are some side effects we have to deal with. But I am sure we’ll have them gone in a day or two”

“A day or two?” George looked pale

“I know. I need to do some research first to not make it worse. If you want, I can set up a document that frees you from your lessons until she is better” you nodded

“Severus, where do you think you’re going with Mr Warrington?”

“As I see it we are not needed here anymore”

“I expect Mr Warrington in my office now”

“What for?”

“To give him detention, of course” Snape groaned

“Fine, Warrington, one afternoon of detention in the dungeons”

“Just one afternoon?” Fred shouted “This is ridiculous. He hexed a baby”

“I am sure the spell was not supposed to hit her”

“Yeah but either my brother or me? Would that have been better?”

“Mr Weasley, please calm down, don’t upset your niece further” McGonagall warned, as Savannah’s crying intensified, then ordered the potions teacher and Warrington to leave.

-

In the end it took a total of three days until Savannah’s skin turned back to normal. George had managed to land himself in detention during that time because his next meeting with Warrington ended with the latter being carried away to the hospital wing. Unfortunately it was Umbridge who caught him and although he tried to hide it from you, you knew that she made him write with that Blood Quill again.

Then the first Quidditch match of the season was there. You still didn’t know if it was a good idea to take Savannah with you, although George and Fred had come up with some earplugs that would make sure she wouldn’t hear anything. Finally you decided that you couldn’t miss the game. And after all you had realised how much Savannah loved watching things in motion in the past days, so that her favourite toy was a jar in which George had put some everlasting miniature fireworks. Sometimes she spent hours watching it until she fell asleep right on the spot. So you thought that she’d love a Quidditch game with all the players zooming through the air. Hoping they wouldn’t cheer as much as the Gryffindors or the Slytherins, you took a seat in the stands between the Hufflepuffs and Ravenclaws. At first they all were focusing on your daughter but when you told them to let it be since it would be getting more stressful later, they actually respected it. Of course they still threw occasional glances to Savannah but you could live with that. Then the players came out of the changing rooms.

“Look, there’s Daddy” you said, pointing to the Gryffindor players although she couldn’t hear you due to the earplugs. Once the players were in the air Savannah’s jaw dropped and her eyes darted around, following them. At times, when they were flying slightly towards you she’d try and make a grab for them and then stare at her hand in disbelief when she realised that she caught nothing. To be honest you didn’t only pay attention to the game, you mostly only had eyes for Savannah, hoping you’d see any sign of discomfort soon so that you could leave. But to your surprise she fell asleep after ten minutes or so, so that you could focus on the game instead. You tried your best to ignore the mean song the Slytherins were singing about Ron. Finally Harry caught the Snitch and you grinned broadly and raised your arm in triumph. But only some seconds later he was knocked off his broom by a bludger. One of the Slytherin beaters seemed quite proud of himself. Savannah had woken up again and stared at the players on the ground in disbelief. “Let’s go and look for Daddy” you said and raised to walk down to exit of the changing rooms to meet him there. It wouldn’t hurt your daughter to be away from all the people in the stands. On your way downstairs you heard the frantic shouting of the crowd but you couldn’t see what was happening. Next you heard Madam Hooch screaming at someone and by the time you arrived at the bottom you saw Harry and George walking away from the pitch. You raced towards them “What happened?”

“Warrington and Malfoy happened!” George spat

“What? Why?”

“First Malfoy was insulting our family and then Warrington made a comment about you and well…” you could imagine the rest. Before you could ask yourself what Harry had to do with it, he explained himself that Draco then said something mean about his mother whereupon he lunged at him. You took out the earplug from Savannah’s ears and she held out her arms to George. Your husband, still fuming with anger took her and kissed her head with a sigh.

“I guess I should take her with me” you said when George was trying to take her to McGonagall’s office when you arrived at the castle. He nodded and handed Savannah back to you.

-

The fact that you heard George coming back before he opened the door was a clear sign that he did not like the punishment he was given and was even angrier. And by the time he flung the door open Savannah started crying in her crib. While you picked her up and tried to calm her down, George was repeatedly kicking against the wall

“George. George” you hissed “Stop it. You’re scaring her” you walked to him and put a hand on his shoulder but he pushed it away with a snort “George. Hey, George” you said carefully, grabbing his arm instead “What happened?”

“This-this…” he let out a row of very vile curses

“Okay who are you talking about? Warrington?”

“Umbitch” you growled

“What does she have to do with what happened?” he kicked his foot against the chair that it fell over “Okay, relax”

“I’m not relaxing!” he yelled, making you wince and you instinctively pressed Savannah tighter against you

“What-what happened?” he uttered another few cusses before he muttered the words ‘Quidditch ban’ “But what did McGonagall say? She wouldn’t let that happen”

“She can’t even do anything against it! This foul toady bitch has a new educational degree that allows her to punish everyone as she likes”

“Oh” was all you said and then turned back to your daughter again who still was crying at the top of her lungs. George, who hit the wall with his fists wasn’t helping “George stop this. Please. Don’t you see how much you’re upsetting Savannah? Please, just calm down and then we’ll talk about it, okay? Everything will be fine”

“No it won’t! You don’t get it” he turned away from the wall and took a step towards you. Involuntarily you backed away and gulped.

“George... I… need to calm Savannah down” you said and tried to get past him to the door

“Where are you going?!”

“I’m trying to calm Savannah down and when I’m back we talk, okay?”

“I’ll have her” you bit your lip

“I-I…”

“Don’t you dare taking her from me! She’s my daughter too” you didn’t reply but slipped away under his arms and ran away. All you knew was that George’s behaviour scared you and you didn’t want Savannah to get hurt or more upset. Suddenly you ran into Fred.

“Whoa, where are you going?” he asked

“I�� George’s completely lost it. I don’t know what happened but he told me something of Umbridge, a new educational degree and Quidditch ban. And he’s going berserk” you blurted out and tears stung in your eyes. Fred grabbed your shoulders

“Did he hurt you?”

“No” you whispered “He only shouted at me. But he’s kicking against the wall and all. I-I don’t know what to do” he nodded and let go of you

“Come on, I’ll talk to him. You wait outside” you nodded and followed him back to your room. As it seemed, Fred had the same difficulties and calming George down and all he got out of him was what you already knew. However, suddenly your husband blurted out that also Fred was kicked out of the team. And there went Fred’s composure and before you knew it, you were running away again. You had no idea where to go or what to do. The only thing you wanted to do was calm Savannah down, then you could take care of the twins. If they couldn’t calm themselves down in the meantime. Without really thinking about it, you ran to the Room of Requirement and asked for a safe and calm place. A door appeared and you were quite surprised when you found the bedroom of your home behind it. You smiled

“Savannah look. This is Mummy’s room” you kissed her forehead and sat down on the bed with her “That’s where I grew up. Oh I hope you can see it one day for real… I really want to go back” thinking about that probably wasn’t such a good idea because tears started to stream down your cheek and you held Savannah close to your chest and placed your head on hers. It didn’t seem to bother her that tears were falling onto her head and luckily she calmed down after some minutes. But you still sat there and continued crying. Crying because of everything that happened. What your parents said, the stress of the past weeks and George’s outburst today. You cried yourself to sleep with Savannah in your arms.

-

You had no idea what time it was when you woke up. Not knowing if it was a good idea to go back if it was the middle of the night you decided to stay here until you could be sure that it was morning. At that time you didn’t even think about George anymore or the fact that he could get worried since you were gone.

Next time you were woken it was because of Savannah who started crying. Probably because she was hungry, so you suckled her before getting up. When you had a look outside the room, you saw that it was already bright day. Feeling hungry, you decided to go to the Great Hall first and see if breakfast was still served. It was and you sat down at your usual place. Just now you realised that you hadn’t eaten here very often since your daughter was born. And when more and more students came over to have a look at Savannah you remembered why you always ate in empty classrooms or your own room. You were very uncomfortable and were very relieved when you heard one of your best friends

“Oh there you are, (Y/N). We’ve been looking for you everywhere”

“You did?” she nodded

“Oh Merlin you have no idea how much you scared us all”

“But-…” you didn’t know what to say

“Ron and Fred had to get George to the hospital wing and give him some calming draught and a sleeping potion because he’s been going crazy when he realised that you were gone”

“I-I didn’t want that” you whispered and felt a wave of guilt and got up “I’ve got to see him and let him know that I’m fine” cursing yourself in your head you ran upstairs to the hospital wing. But George wasn’t there. Madam Pomfrey told you that she had let him go about two hours ago.

“I told him to go back to your shared room but I do believe he’s looking for you instead” you nodded and decided to go to your room first anyway, to leave Savannah in her crib. Although you didn’t like the thought of leaving her alone, you knew that you couldn’t carry her through the whole castle while looking for George. And besides, it was good if your daughter learned to be alone for some time. But you planned on coming back and checking on her every half an hour at least to make sure she was fine. Before you left, you waited about five minutes until Savannah had calmed down and realised that she was in her crib. She grasped her rattle and happily shook it.

“Yes you like making noise, don’t you? Just like your Daddy” you slowly walked towards the door and when she was distracted you quickly left, guilt pounding through you. You promised yourself to ask the first person you met (like one of George’s siblings or a friend) go to and watch over your daughter. Your emergency babysitter turned out to be Hermione who too was looking for you. She held a lecture about how stupid it was of you (especially to leave Savannah alone now after everything that happened) and refused to go and look after her but sent you do to so, she would go and find George to tell him you were found. Grateful that she helped, you agreed and went back. Against your expectation Savannah wasn’t crying or unhappy, however she did smile when she saw you coming back. “Guess what, Sav? Daddy’s coming home soon” that ‘soon’, however, was about an hour in which you did some homework. Then suddenly the door was opened and saw George. He was still wearing his Quidditch robes and breathed out your name.

“Never, never ever do something like that again” he begged as he wrapped his arms around you and pulled you close “I-I was so worried ‘bout you when I realised you were gone. And I’m so sorry for what happened yesterday. I did not mean to freak out like that and I didn’t want to scare you. This is all my fault”

“No it’s not” you said “I shouldn’t have run away but then I went to the Room of Requirement and I calmed Savannah down and then suddenly I feel asleep. I didn’t mean to stay away that long. I didn’t even think you could get worried” he cradled your cheek

“You’re my wife, my everything. As is Savannah. How could I not be worried if I suddenly find you gone?” he kissed your forehead “Where’s Savannah?” you pointed at the crib and both their faces lit up when they saw each other. Savannah dropped her stuffed bunny and stretched out her little arms to George who instantly picked her up “Hi there, sweetie” he cooed “Daddy’s missed you so much. He’s been worried about you and your Mummy. Did you miss me too?” he gently ticked her stomach and watched her squirm. But suddenly his smile faded “I wish all my problems were that easy”

“Hey” you said and wrapped your arms around his waist “Have you had breakfast yet?” he nodded “Alright. Then go and take a shower and get changed. It’s Sunday, we’ve got to enjoy our day, okay? Let’s just not think about anything negative” he bit his lip but nodded again

“I’ll take Sav with me. We’re going to the Prefect’s bathroom”

“Okay” you thought for a second “I’m coming with you. After all Dumbledore officially gave me the password, so that I can use it during my pregnancy. Or afterwards to relax a bit. Sometimes I can’t believe how many privileges Dumbledore gave me just because I was pregnant” George chuckled

“Yeah. But you know what amazes me most?” he didn’t wait for your answer “A year ago we only were acquaintances and didn’t even date. And look at us now”

-

After the bath and getting changed you sat down on the bed with George. Although you said you wouldn’t be talking about anything negative, namely the events yesterday, he broached the subject again

“I mean I don’t even wanna think about it myself but I have to… after all this new educational degree allows her to remove any privileges from any student. And Umbitch threatened that you should be sent back to your dorm instead of this room because she couldn’t let a man and a woman sleep in the same room in this school”

“What? But… my dorm mates will hate me when Savannah is crying so much. And what about you, you couldn’t visit me then? Us.”

“I know. That’s why I managed to make a compromise”

“Which one?”

“Only I have to move out and go back to my dorm”

“But that means…”

“Yeah, you’ll have the bed for you alone again”

“She cannot do this! I mean…” you shrugged

“Unfortunately she can. She has now supreme authority over all punishments”

“But I didn’t even do anything wrong! I mean in her eyes I probably did but nothing that is against a school rule.”

“Yeah but I did. I am so sure she only did this to punish me further but I did not want her to punish you too for what I did”

“But if she forbids you to stay here that affects me too”

“I know but honestly, you need this place more than I do. And it’s not like we’re not seeing each other. I mean Fred’s here every day. I’ll just stay here with you and only go to my dorm to sleep. Because that’s all she can make me do, not even she can tell me where I can and can’t be in my free time” you shrugged

“Okay, that’s true”

“And don’t forget, I’m George Weasley. Fred and I sneaked out countless times in the nights, so I most likely will be sleeping here sometimes anyway” you smiled

“You’d better do that”

New Year, New Blog

2017 was a great first year for my blog. In one year I have gained over 1,800 followers which is more than I could have ever hoped for. That said, in 2018 this blog is going to have some major changes.

The biggests change that I’ve decided to make is that i will be writing for more fandoms then just Supernatural which will turn this into a multifandom page. I know that some of you will not be too happy with this change but I promise that my Supernatural stories aren’t going anywhere. I still love writing for SPN, but it’s just not enough to keep me interested in writing which has left my blog pretty empty over the last few months and that is the last thing I want, so I’m going to try out multifandom and see if that helps my regularity of posting.

On the topic of posting more I have decided that I’m going to have a posting schedule that I’m going to stick to, to the absolute best of my ability. I have a plan for what the schedule will look like, but it is subject to change through the year if what I try isn’t working.

I will also be adding some new styles of writing along with the new characters that I will be adding. Up until now I’ve only writing in second person reader-insert fics where the reader is the main character and the narrator. I’d like to try writing more from the perspective of the characters, and I’d also like to add personal letters from characters and maybe texting imagines to the list of things I’ll write if I can make them work.

I will be updating my tag lists so that people will only be tagged in posts for the fandoms they want to join. (If you are currently on my everything tag list you will be put on a SPN only  tag list unless you want to be on another list). My masterlist will also be updated to keep me more organized and make things easy for you to find.

Outside of the actual writing on this blog I’ll be making some changes about how I run my blog. I’d like to do more personal stuff so you guys can get to know me better, i'll do tags answer questions and whatever else you’d like to get to know me. I’m going to try doing more fun interactive things like blog takeovers and things that I’ve always loved participating in.

Chapter 5

Author’s note: I use Grammarly to fix my mistakes, but there could still be some so sorry for that. Also, I am getting back into writing and am hoping to have a few more works out soon! Please reblog, like, or comment feedback is appreciated.

Word Count: 4,400

Warnings: None? Sirius being a d*ck? Maybe language, but I don’t think so.

Regulus wasn’t sure how much time had passed as he stroked his niece's hair. He was mad at his brother for basically throwing away the only good thing that had ever come from the Black family. Sirius was too blinded by the past to see what was right in front of him. As children, Sirius often told Regulus that he was their family's favorite and that it bothered him, but if he knew what it was like to be less loved then how can he love Harry more than Ali? He understood that Harry was Sirius's Godson, but couldn’t he love Ali and Harry equally? If Sirius made the effort maybe Ali and the other children could even be friends. His heart ached from the emotional battle that Ali was going through right now. Even if Sirius didn’t see it, he and Remus did. Ali’s light was dimmer than before and when she was lighting up again after finding out Sirius never came for her, Sirius just had to go and snuffed it out.

Carefully sliding out from under Ali and placing a pillow under her head Regulus left the room. He shut the door behind him casting a locking spell so she wouldn’t be bothered. He needed to speak with Remus first before doing anything. They needed to decide what to do about Ali. As much as Regulus wanted to spend time with her before she went back to school he didn’t want her to be this upset anymore. He walked into the study to find Remus and Nymphadora sitting near the fireplace.

“How is she?” Nymphadora blurted the question as soon as she saw her cousin. Remus had owled her after Ali had gone to her room. The older sister in her wanted to go up to Sirius and give him a piece of her mind, but she knew that it wouldn’t do any good.

“She’s asleep for now. All the fighting has exhausted her. I honestly don’t know what to do. I want her here, this is her home, but if Sirius doesn’t stop acting like the brut that he is it is going to hurt her more. Speaking of Sirius, where is he? It’s quiet.” Regulus flopped down on the chair across from Remus and Nymphadora raking a hand through his hair. His worry for Ali was causing him a headache. On one hand, he wanted to send Ali to stay at the Malfoy Manor for the remainder of summer, but on the other, he wanted to hold her close and have her stay in her home where she belonged.

“Sirius left with Harry after you went upstairs. He hasn’t been home since. The Weasleys stepped out to Diagon Alley to get the kids stuff for school.” Remus replied. He was secretly thankful that the house was mainly empty. This way at least Ali could come down if she felt like it without the chance of someone bothering her. Remus was having the same thoughts as Regulus about keeping Ali at home virus's sending her to the Manor. He just wanted his niece to be happy. The hope that he had of Sirius and Ali having the father/daughter relationship was gone. If only Remus could get Sirius to open his eyes to the pain he was causing to the girl, but Sirius was nothing if not stubborn.

“I think I am going to write to Cissa and see if she can keep Ali for the rest of summer. If that’s what it takes for her to be happy then so be it. We can see her off at the -“

“I don’t want to leave,” Ali’s voice interrupted. “I want to stay here with you. Please don’t make me leave. I can handle it, I promise.”

Ali knew that she and Regulus were going to have to talk about the fact that she called him dad, but that was a private conversation. Right now she needed to convince the adults in the room that she didn’t need to leave. She could take Sirius. Yes the words that he had said hurt her and the actions he did tonight furthered that hurt in her heart, but she was done. She didn’t owe him anything, and it was clear she knew that he didn’t want to be her father. She had meant what she said to Regulus. He was her father in all the ways that counted. He loved her unconditionally, was always there for her, and protected her.

She went and sat on the couch in between Nymphadora and Remus who wrapped an arm around her pulling her close to his chest. “It might be best if you went and stayed for the rest of the summer at the Manor, Al. This isn’t good for you mentally. We all can see how drained you are.”

“No, this is my home. I can handle it. I have you all plus the older Weasleys and Fleur. You'll protect me and if I need to get away for a little bit I’ll owl Blaise or Draco to go to Diagon Alley or something. I want to spend time with you. Times are hard right now and you never know when you are going to lose someone and I would like to have as much time with each of you just in case.”

Regulus leaned forward taking Ali’s hand in his, “Nothing, and I mean nothing is going to happen to us. I love you more than you could ever imagine and if you want to stay here you can.” Ali smiles brightly at that before Regulus cut her off, “but you have to tell me, Remus, or Severus, if anything happens. And you have to come out of your room. I am not having you locking yourself away again. Got it?”

Ali pounced on Regulus, hugging his neck tight. She was excited to spend some more time with her family. She had meant what she said about never knowing when something was going to happen. Wizards had been disappearing all over London and she was genuinely scared something was going to happen to her loved ones. She was going to make it a point to take plenty of photos and make enough memories to last a lifetime the next couple of weeks.

Regulus held his niece tight, fighting back the tears when she whispered, “Thanks, Dad,” into his ear. He had been called a lot of things in his life, but this was one title he was going to wear proudly.

Remus’s voice interrupted the moment, “wait for a second, why are you going to owl Blaise? We have an agreement, young lady, no boys till you're thirty!”

Ali’s giggle was music to those in the room with her, and for the first time that summer they all saw Ali smile at home the brightest she had since everyone arrived.

————

The rest of the day was eventful which was something that everyone was thankful for. Nymphadora left shortly after spending some time with Ali since she had something to attend to with Moody, so that left Regulus, Ali, and Remus to watch the Star Wars movies in Ali’s room. Kreacher brought them snacks while they made a fort on the floor. Ali was incredibly content laying on the mounds of pillows in between her Uncles. When she was younger they would have movie nights like this once a month until she started Hogwarts. Even then she and her friends carried on the tradition in the boy's dorm since Draco was often present at the ones hosted at home. She wished that she could have Draco over now, but knew that if she brought him here then everyone in the house would throw a fit about it, maybe it was something to bring up to Regulus later.

Molly called them all down for dinner shortly after the second film ended. Leaving the mess on the floor the trio made their way downstairs with Ali trailing behind her Uncles. She could feel her nerves spike the closer she got to the dining room. She thought about excusing herself stating she wasn’t hungry, but the loud growl in her stomach gave her hunger away. Everyone had already sat down beside Harry and Sirius when they got into the room. Regulus pulled the seat out next to him for his niece. Fleur shot her a smile when she sat down by her uncle with Charlie on her other side. At least she was sitting near someone who didn’t hate her.

Chatter and the sounds of forks on plates filled the room as everyone got their fill of Molly’s meatballs and onion sauce. Everyone broke off into separate conversations. Remus, Regulus, and Arthur talking about the Ministry, the younger Weasleys, and Hermione talking about Quidditch, Bill and Fleur about their upcoming wedding, and Charlie and Ali talking about his work in Romania. “What are you planning on doing after you leave Hogwarts?”

Ali shot a glance over at Remus who was doing a terrible job of disguising his eavesdropping on the duo. “I am thinking about becoming a professor. I like creatures obviously so I was thinking something along those lines, but I also like Herbology. So maybe that. I just know I want to teach.”

Charlie shot her a grin. “Have you thought about where? I know Hogwarts has Sprout for Herbology and Hagrid was doing Care of Magical Creatures, but you still have three more years of school so maybe they’ll need someone by the time you're done.”

Ali shrugged her shoulders. In all honesty, she wanted to leave England and travel for a bit but knew that if she brought it up now it would be a fight or something so she bit her tongue. “Maybe.”

The noise came to a halt when the door slammed open in the living room. Everyone hopped to their feet, wands at the ready. It felt like hours had passed before the intruder walked through the door. “Sirius! Harry! Merlin, you scared us all.”

“Sorry, it’s raining hard and we were in a rush to get back home.” Sirius shrugged like it wasn’t a big deal. Everyone retook their seats beside Milly who served Harry and Sirius. Ali tried her hardest to keep from looking at the latest duo that entered, not wanting to cause any more trouble or to give Sirius a reason to lash out at her.

Dinner passed rather quickly, conversations flowed in their small groups. Charlie had gone with Fleur and Bill on a scouting mission shortly after eating, while Fred and George worked on new products for their shop. Ali was in her head thinking about asking to go to meet Pansy in the coming days to look at a new book shop. Pansy wasn’t much of a reader but was always looking for an excuse to get out of her house. She was startled when she felt a hand on her shoulder. Looking up Molly was smiling softly at her while handing her a letter in a dark blue envelope. She instantly knew who the letter was from since only one person used that kind of envelope when writing her.

“This came for you, dear, when you were with your uncles. I didn't want to bother you then I almost forgot just now.”

“Thank you, Mrs. Weasley.” Ali smiled at the kind woman. Despite her feelings towards most of the Weasley children, their parents were quite nice.

Molly patted her cheek before walking off. Ali started to rip the top off when she got Regulus’s eye and he winked at her. He knew who the letter was from having met the boy a few times already. Her cheeks flushed and continued to do so while reading it.

Dear Supernova,

I hope you are surviving the dreadfulness that is upon you right now with all the people in your house. Yes, Draco told me what was going on yesterday when I finally threatened to out his crush if he didn’t explain why we hadn’t been seeing you a lot this summer. I have to say I am quite hurt that you didn’t tell me yourself. Best friends I thought. Just joking, but seriously you could have told me about him and I wouldn't have said a word to anyone.

I miss you, Supernova. We’ve only got to see each other once this summer and we both know when school starts you will have a book shoved in front of your face in the first three minutes. Could we get together sometime this week? It has been awful at home and if I have to hear Draco's voice one more time without you there to tell him off for being annoying I may throw myself off the astronomy tower.

Your uncle may not agree, but you could come to stay at mine for a night. Mother agreed to it as long as Regulus does and we have separate rooms. If you can't, maybe I can come to you? I don’t really care what the redheads have to say about me being there so don’t worry about that. We have much to catch up on; like the fact that you got Headgirl and also didn’t write and tell me. I had to find that little tidbit out from Parkinson's. Don’t worry we’ll catch up whether that's soon or on the train.

love,

Zabini

Ali felt a pang of guilt hit her square in the chest. She hadn’t meant to forget to fill Blaise in on her life but it had been so crazy recently she hadn’t got to write anyone much. In all the truth no one knew that she had gotten Headgirl. She had gotten the letter from Flitwich a few days after the Weasley’s arrived and completely forgot. Although she told her Uncles she didn’t want to go anywhere spending some time with Blaise sounded nice. Deciding to just rip the bandaid off she looked up to find Regulus and Remus looking at her with amused smiles on their faces.

“What’s you got there, Ali?” Remus asked, causing her cheeks to flame red. She wasn’t scared to say that she wanted to hang out with a boy. She did it all the time whether it was Blaise, Theo, or Draco; it was more to do with the fact that she was about to ask to spend the night at a boys' house. Even if they were going to be in separate rooms and they had fallen asleep cuddled together weeks prior at the Malfoys, something none of her Uncles knew, it was going to be a little fight to get Remus to agree as he made the ‘no dating till you’re thirty’ rule when she was five and asked for a boyfriend for Christmas.

Looking around she noticed all attention was on her even if the other adults in the room were making it seem like they weren’t listening while the children openly gawked. “Uhm,” she was cut off by Severus stepping into the room. Great, now she had to face all three Uncles. Where were Dora and Cissa when she needed them?

Severus hugged her quickly before taking a place by Regulus. “Who's the letter from Ali?” He asked her letting her know there was no getting out of it and that she was going to have to spill the beans.

“It’s from Blaise,” A look of amusement passed Regulus’s face, making her think that he knew what was in the letter already while Remus looked like he was going to snatch the letter out of her hands and read it himself if she didn’t hurry up.

“And what possibly could it say to have your cheeks looking like the inside of Gryffindor common room?” Regulus teased further.

She coughed trying to get her nerves resealed. “He was saying that we need to catch up before school starts, and invited me to come and stay with him and Mrs. Zabini for a night this week.”

Remus grunted while Regulus smiled. Ali had to hide a giggle as she noticed all the other mouths in the room had dropped to the floor. Ali knew that except for Hermione and Harry the Weasley’s never stayed or had anyone else with them.

“Can I, please? His mother said we would have separate rooms and she will be there as well as the house-elves. We only got to see one another once this summer. He said if I can’t he could come here, but honestly, I think the first option is better. Please?” She pulled out her best puppy eyes and pouty lip. She was not above begging for it but didn’t want to do so with everyone staring at her.

Regulus looked over at Remus. Ali could see the silent conversation going on between them. Regulus’s head inclined slightly toward Ali which she hoped to Merlin was a good thing. Remus looked back at his niece with a look in his eye she couldn’t read. “Rosalynn said you’ll have separate rooms?” Ali nodded her head so fast she almost gave herself whiplash. “And you’ll stay in them?” Once again she nodded, although she knew that they more than likely would be in the family room till late hours in the night. He looked back at Regulus, “you have no problems with her going?”

“No, I already knew about it. Rosalynn wrote about two days ago. If she wants to go, that's fine. You know Rosalynn will look after her as she does Blaise. And the Heavens know that boy would jump in front of the Knight Bus for Ali.” Regulus chuckled at Ali's shocked expression.

“Y-you knew? Why didn’t you say anything?” Ali struggled to get the words out.

“Rosalynn said Blaise wanted to ask you. She was just giving me a heads up, knowing how Remus is with boys and you. You know we talked quite often, Als.” Regulus winked at her.

“You may go,” Remus stated. She was shocked she didn’t have to put up more of a fight.

“WHAT?” Sirius shrieked. He knew that Regulus would let her go to the Death Eaters house, but Remus? He thought he could count on his ‘friend’ to at least say no. “You’re letting her go to the Death Eaters house? AGAIN? Who's also a boy and staying the night? Are you mad?”

Remus looked at Sirius with disdain, “No I am not. She is a good girl and Blaise has been her friend for years. Rosalynn loves her as much as we do and would never let anything happen. And for God's sake quit calling everyone a Death Eater.”

“Outrageous.”

“Sirius, you have no say in what she does. You gave that up last night. Ali is a good girl who makes good choices. Not only that but she also deserves a little something since she got Headgirl this year, don’t you think?” Regulus smirked as he saw the Granger girl's face fall.

“You got Headgirl?” Hermione whispered to Ali with disbelief lacing her voice.

“Yeah, I did. Draco got Headboy I believe, but it may be Theo. I haven’t asked yet.”

“Why do you and Draco get Head of Houses? Why not Hermione and -“ Ali cut her dear Godbrother off.

“And who? You? Ron? Why would any of you get Head of Houses with all the trouble you bring in? Sneaking out, stealing things, picking fights. We do have the highest marks in most classes as well as treat others equally unlike the likes of you.”

If looks could kill Ali would be dead three times over. In all honesty, she kinda felt bad for the younger Weasley boy seeing as all of his older brothers, bar Fred and George had been Headboy. But then she thought about the trouble he and his friends had caused her and her friends as well as others over the years. Harry preached about equality among the houses but she had witnessed many times when younger Slytherins were picked on by Gryiffndors. Hufflepuffs generally didn't have any problems with the other houses so long as everyone was being just. Ravenclaws tended to keep to themselves unless it really involved them. Whereas Slytherins preferred to stand up to those picking on other Slytherins especially the younger ones. Slytherins were always made out to be the bullies when in general if you got to know them people would notice that they are a lot more than what their parents used to be.

Ally had heard the stories of how mean James and Sirius were to those in Slytherin even if they never did anything to them. She believed in harmless fun could be had pulling pranks, but tricking someone into going to a place where a werewolf was was downright cruel. She had no doubts in her mind that James and Sirius were once good people like her Uncle Remus is now, but seeing as Sirius still acts like a child those doubts were becoming known.

“I just think that Slytherins shouldn’t be Head of House when all you will do is favor your own, and treat everyone else like dirt,” Ron stated.

“Ronald Weasley! How dare you say such a thing?!” Molly exclaimed.

“It’s alright Mrs. Weasey. I am used to hearing such things come from them and others in their house,” Ali looked Ron in the eyes, “You seem to forget that I’m a Ravenclaw, not a Slytherin. I do not favor anyone and will not when I start Head Girl duties but know this. I will give you as many detentions as you deserve if you are caught bullying, harassing, belittling, any of the other houses. You may think that Gryiffndors are the bravest of the houses and maybe you are in some ways, but you are cowardly in others. Maybe some Slytherins are as bad as you make them seem, but Harry,” she turned her head slightly to the side, “you seem to forget just which house Peter Pettigrew was in when he was the one who betrayed your parents. And Regulus was in Slytherin but seems to be more loyal to his friends and family than that rat was.”

“It seems that Alianova has given you all something to think about as you're getting ready for bed,” Molly stated looking at all the children present in the room. Her face grew red when she saw that none of them had moved a muscle. “Now.”

Harry, Hermione, Ron, and Ginny, jumped from their seats and booked it to the stairs scared of Mrs. Weasley’s wrath. At some point, Charlie, Fluer, and Bill came back from scouting. Charlie ruffled Ali’s hair causing her to grin. “Good job, kid. You’ll make a great Head Girl.” Bill and Fleur nodded in agreement. “Nothing happened while we were out. We’ll give a full debrief tomorrow, but we will be heading to bed as well. Good night everyone.”

Molly walked to Ali and pulled her up out of her chair before placing both hands on Ali’s pale cheeks. “Don’t you worry, dear, I will be talking with all of them in the morning. You made a lot of valid points, and I for one am proud that you are Head Girl.”

She kissed her forehead before taking her husband to go to bed after waving her wand to get the kitchen clean once again. Arthur offered Ali a small smile before disappearing behind his wife. Sirius scoffed at the behavior which everyone heard but chose to ignore.

Ali turned to her three Uncles, waiting for the answer about going to her friends, and the scene that just played out in the kitchen.

“I am proud of you as well, Alianova. You have done excellent, and I know it is Remus and Regulus' decision about going to Blaises’, but I see no problem with it. I will stay in the guest room. Come get me if you need me. Good night, Ali.” He hugged her tightly, making Ali tear up slightly at the thought of Servus being proud of her. It also made her giddy at the thought of rubbing it in Draco’s face since Severus is his Godfather and never said such a thing to him.

Remus followed after Servus, wrapping his niece in a bear hug around her shoulders. The height difference amusing Regulus to no end seeing as Ali only came about midway in Remus’s chest. “You may go as long as it’s okay with Reg, and you stay in separate rooms. I am a little mad though that you didn’t tell me yourself about getting Head Girl, but I am still incredibly proud of you. No one deserves this more than you do, not even Harry.” The last part was whispered in her ear. He kissed her forehead, before heading to his room.

With the three Blacks being the only ones left in the room. “I don’t think you should go.” Sirius’s voice was venomous as he thought about his only child, his legacy, spending time with Death Eaters.

“It’s a good thing it doesn’t matter what you think isn’t it?” Regulus smirked at his older brother. He was not going to take this away from his child. “Ali, you may go so long as you stay in your separate rooms whenever the two of you decide to go to sleep because I know from having all your mates over it will be late.” He walked to Ali cradling her freckled face in his hands. “I am so proud to call you my daughter. Even after all that you have been through in your life you have still managed to form your own beliefs and thoughts as well as stand up for them. You deserve Head Girl over anyone else, and hopefully, you get to share it with one of your friends.”

Ali dove into her Uncle's chest. Tears welling up into her eyes at the thought that he really did think of her as his own even if she already knew it. It was nice to hear out loud. “Thank you for everything you’ve done for me. I love you, dad.” She kissed his cheek before heading to her room to write Blaise.

Sirius felt his anger sore to new heights when he heard Ali call Regulus dad. He had enough courtesy to wait till she was out of earshot before grounding out, “We need to talk, Regulus.”

Their Daughter Pt 3

Warning: Arguing, insecurities, crying

A/N: I am planning on this being about six parts, but I’m not sure yet. Leave me some feed back! This also hasn’t been proofread so I apologize for that! Please don’t post my work anywhere else. 

The rest of the night before Ali left for Malfoy Manor passed slowly. She wrote her reply telling her aunt that she would be at Andromedas before she came to the Manor. Ali could hear the others moving around the house below her, but chose to stay in her room. After hearing her own father call her a snake she didn’t want to be at risk of getting called it again by him or anyone else. It was something she was used to at school, and often ignored, but hearing it from her own father hurt more than the others. She wasn’t a snake and just because she spent time with Slytherins it didn’t make her a bad person. She found it ironic that people in other houses say things about house unity and having friends from other houses, but none of them ever showed Slytherins much kindness apart from a few Hufflepuff's. Slytherins were misunderstood a lot and being sarcastic and rude was a defense mechanism for most of them was what Ali had learned from her time spent with them. Draco, for example, just wanted his father to be proud of him, while Daphne wanted to be seen as more than just her face and body. Everyone of the Slytherins has some sort of problem, they all realize this and that’s what makes them such good friends with one another. 

Ali shut her trunk lid before sitting on top of it blowing a piece of her dark hair from her face. She had packed a few things to take with her, though she already had quite a lot at the manor in her room. Draco told her to bring a swimsuit and leave the books in his letter, so she packed both. It had taken about an hour to pack everything she needed, so seeing as it was getting dark outside she looked at the clock. It was 6:00 meaning that it was almost time for dinner. She changed into a pair of black leggings before throwing a jumper on that somehow ended up being Blaise’s Quidditch jumper; it was always cold in the house even in the middle of summer. Shrugging she looked at her appearance in the mirror, she fixed her hair into a braid going down the side of her head before letting the growling of her stomach lead her downstairs. 

She noticed that all the noise seemed to be coming from the dining room so her plan of grabbing cookies and leaving was busted. From the sounds it seemed as though everyone was in there, but Regulus was so quiet she wasn’t sure if he was or not. Pausing she sent up a quick prayer hoping that Regulus, Remus or both would be in there. Conversations seemed to pause when she walked through the threshold. Sirius was talking with Harry and Ron, Molly was sitting with her husband and oldest two, Hermione and Ginny were looking at a book, Remus sat near Sirius looking thoughtful, while Regulus had his back to her talking with someone. He noticed some of the chatter had died down, he turned to see Ali and gave her a view of the person in front of him. 

Everyone’s mouths dropped when Ali took off faster than a snitch towards her Uncle Severus. She jumped on him, hugging him while he smiled at Regulus hugging his only niece back. “When did you get here? Why didn’t you come see me?” Ali pouted at her Uncle which caused him to shake his head, chuckling at her antics. 

“Regulus said you were probably packing for tomorrow and I did not want to interrupt. And as for when I got here it was about fifteen minutes or so,” He kissed her head before letting her step back. Severus bit back another smile when he noticed all his students and former students staring at him and his niece. “Isn’t there something else you could be looking at?” Directing his icy glare to Granger, Potter, and the youngest two Weasleys. Their heads whip down except Harry’s whose eyes went back and forth between Severus and Ali. Severus knew of the words Potter often said about Ali and the others in his house. Assuming that he was just going to keep staring at the two Severus turned his attention back to Regulus and Ali. “When do you leave for the manor?” 

Ali found it funny that her uncle had set the others in place, but she a;so got why they were looking. Severus was a private person; he wasn’t one for talking a lot or physical touch. Ali had only ever seen him hug one person and that was her. To everyone else he was a cold, rude Potions teacher, but to Ali he was her Uncle that brought her books, taught her Potions, and made the best tea in the world. She felt her fathers eyes on the back of her head, but pointedly chose to ignore him. “I leave tomorrow when Uncle Rem does.” 

“I still do not understand why you insist on going over there. They are not good company Alianova. Are you going to become like them? Become a Death Eater like Lucius and his son are? You were raised by one so it wouldn’t be a surprise,” Sirius sneered at his daughter. The look of disgust in his eyes hurt her more than the words. Ali knew that before Lucius was a Death Eater much like Regulus and Severus. But she also knew that they weren’t those people maymoer. Each of those men had decided that family was more important. It had taken a lot for Lucius to see that his ways were wrong, but the thought of harm coming to Draco, Narcissa or even Ali made him see differently. 

Ali’s blood boiled when sirius talked about her family like that. He didn’t have to like them, but she loved them and they loved her. He wasn’t there for her; they were. “They aren’t Death Eaters.” She stated firmly. 

“Aren’t Death Eaters? Are you draft? Draco may not be right now, but I know Lucius would never give up his ways. It’s only a matter of time before Draco is one as well. How old were you Regulus when you got the mark? Seventeen? Draco is almost there. Harry told me what he’s like in school, and what you're like. Stuck up, and prejudice just like the others. It’s honestly no wonder Harry doesn’t like you. Typical Black fashion to only hang out with Purebloods. You're going to end up just like Bellatrix I guarantee it if you stay hanging out with the Malfoys.”

“That is enough,” Regulus stepped in front of Ali. Everyone's eye bouncing between Ali, Regulus and Sirius. Ali felt tears brim in her eyes, and her breathing become heavier. Anger and hurt ran through her veins, battling one another. Sweat started to gather on her palms as she noticed the looks of pity coming from Molly, and Arthur after the shock of what Sirius had said wore off. Molly ushered everyone out of the room, Harry went reluctantly, beside Sirius, Remus, Severus, and Ali sensing that this was a private family matter. Remus stood, crossing the room to take Ali into his arms. She let out a shuddering breath before turning her attention back to Sirius and Regulus. “She has done absolutely nothing wrong to you or anyone for that matter. And you call her draft? Look in the mirror Sirius. She is your child for Godric's sake! Not Harry Potter. Ali is a good girl; she gets good grades, has manners, and above all she doesn’t care what peoples blood status is. You’re calling her prejudice? She is the least prejudiced person in this whole house. You have no say in anything that she does. None. You left her not just once, but twice. You can say that you didn’t know she was there all you want, but you know that anyone that had her wouldn’t have sent her anywhere else. You chose Harry Potter over her TWICE. And you never picked up the pieces; we did. Myself, Remus, Severus, Narcissa, Lucius, Ted, and Andromeda were all there for her when she was growing up. Remus taught her to read, Severus taught her how to make small potions on a potions kit, Cissa and Andy taught her took her shopping for girly clothes, Lucius taught her to ride a broom with Draco, and Ted took her to the candy shop everytime she got a good grade in school. What did you do? Nothing. If she wants to go and spend time with the people that helped raise her she can. You can’t blame her for how you're acting towards her. It’s like she doesn't even exist when Potter is around.” Regulus took a breath, turning to look at Ali who had tears running down her cheeks. His heart broke for his sweet little girl who deserved the world not this mess of a family. He pulled her to his chest, one hand stroking her hair the other tight around her back, rocking slightly to ease the sobs she was letting out. 

“That is not true. That is my daughter I love her,” Sirius started but was quickly interrupted by Remus. 

“You may love her sirius, but you don’t show it very well. Do you see what you've done? I love you Sirius, but this is wrong. Harry is your godchild, but she is your child. I think it’s best if you leave her alone for a bit,” Remus crouched down to be eye level with Ali, “Are you packed? I think it’ll be best if you go ahead and stay at Andy’s tonight.” 

Ali nodded her head before pressing a kiss to Regulus cheek whispering a love you and see you soon then doing the same to Severus who had Accio’d her trunk down the stairs. She wrapped her arm through Remus's, not even sparing a glance at the man who had caused her more pain the last couple of hours then in her whole life. Ali wanted her dad to love her like he loved Harry. She understood that she wasn’t a Gryffindor like him, but did that really make her so terrible? When she was little she had heard the stories of her father through her uncles, aunts, and a few teachers. She always thought that he was the coolest person to ever walk the corridors of Hogwarts. Often she would fanize what her life could have been like if James and Lily hadn’t died, her dad wasn’t in Azkaban, and her dad and Regulus got along. Would she be equal to Harry then? Would her dad still have favored Harry over her because she was a girl and a Ravenclaw? Those thoughts came to mind more times than she could count in the last couple weeks. 

She felt the tug of apparition in her belly for a few seconds before she landed on the Tonks’s doorstep. She felt the protection wards give easily around her as Remus gave her a one sided hug, kissing her head as she wiped her cheeks. Ali knew that once Remus knocked her Aunt Andy saw the state she was in with her puffy, red eyes, lounge clothes, and the fact that she was a day early Merlin wouldn’t be able to stop her from ripping Sirius into pieces. Remus waited till Ali nodded at him before knocking, he knew that someone would be home whether it was Andromeda, Ted, or Nymphadora. He silently hoped for the later two, but hope wasn’t on his side when Andromeda Tonks opened the door with her look of surprise turning into rage as she looked at Ali. Andy grabbed her nieces hand pulling her inside with Remus following before wrapping Ali in a hug that a mother would give her distraught child. Andromeda looked at Remus over Ali’s shoulder silently asking what had happened to which Remus mouthed out Sirius’s name. Andromeda was afraid of this when Sirius came back into their lives. She loved her cousin with all that was in her, but he was not good with priorities often not being able to sort them out even as children. Ali gripped tight at her aunt's waist knowing that she was finally going to be able to breath without having someone say something about it. 

Noise coming from the stairs caused Ali to look up. Nymphadora came bounding down only to stop when she saw her baby cousin's teary face and Remus gloomy look. She walked over to Remus standing on her tiptoes to press a kiss to his cheek which made him blush and Ali giggle a little bit before wrapping her arm around Ali’s shoulders. “What’s up, pipsqueak?” 

Ali leaned her head onto Nymphadora’s shoulder taking in the smell of her lavender shampoo. “Not much. Mind some company for the night?” Ali was comfortable around Dora, they were like the sister neither of them got to have. Although Dora was seven years older than her, they were closer than just cousins. “Mind your company? Never. More like Dad and Mum should mind cause we are going to party it up!” Dora stated changing her hair to rainbow before poking Ali’s side to make her laugh. She knew her cousin well so she knew that they didn’t need to talk about whatever happened to make her cry. She would talk about it with who she felt fit and when she felt fit to do it. Dora knew that Remus and her mum as well as the others would take care of the issue, so all she had to worry about was making her baby cousin happy again. 

“Well I should get back home. Mainly to make sure that Regulus doesn’t murder Sirius, but if he did I wouldn’t mind too much right now,” Remus said walking to the two girls, kissing Ali’s head and Dora’s lips quickly. “Don’t cause too much trouble you two.” Remus loved the relationship that Ali had with Dora. It was often like watching his girlfriend and daughter together. Some said it was weird to be dating someone who was closer to your child's age then yours but he had learned to care a little less about people's opinions as time went on. He loved Dora and that wasn’t going to change and seeing her with Ali only made that love stronger.  Alianova was his daughter in every way, but blood. Remus gave Andromeda a nod before apparating back home in hopes that he wouldn’t have to hide a dead body. 

Once Remus left Dora guided Ali into the kitchen where Ted was cooking dinner still. “Hello darling, we weren’t expecting you till tomorrow.” He stepped away from the stove to give her a hug before the two girls hopped up onto the kitchen island while Andromeda leaned against the counter by her husband. 

“Yeah, I’m sorry about just showing up a day early. It was...just getting too much at home with everyone there and stuff..” Ali missed the way all the Tonks’s looked at each other since she was staring at the wringing fingers in her lap. 

“What happened, Nova?” Dora placed a hand on hers calming her fingers down. 

“Just Sirius got mad because I’m staying with Cissa for a week. He started saying some really mean things about them as well as said that I was going to become just like Bellatrix since I hung out with Death Eaters,” Ali sighed looking at Andromeda with tears in her eyes. “I just want him to love me. I don’t know why he can’t. I- I try so hard to make everyone proud of me, but he just hates me. What does Harry have that I don’t?” 

Dora wrapped her cousin up in a hug while Andromeda took her other side, “We are all so proud of you, sweetheart. There is absolutely nothing wrong with you. Sirius has always had his judgement clouded, especially when it comes to the Potters. You are so loved by so many people, don’t you ever forget that,” Her aunt whispered in her ear, kissing her cheek. Ali’s shoulders felt a little lighter that the thought of nothing being wrong with her, but with Sirius. 

“If he doesn’t quit being a tosser, I’ll hex him with the Boogie Bat Hex. We’ll see how he likes that.” Dora naturally had to make everyone laugh to ease the tension. 

Ted handed out a plates of spaghetti and everyone settled around the kitchen not even bothering to move to the dining room. Laughter filled the room as Nymphadora recalled a story about Mad Eye from a mission the other day. As darkness filled the sky everyone sat about the living room watching a Disney movie that Dora picked out. Ted and Andromeda sat on the couch cuddled up together while Ali and Dora shared the floor in front of them. Looking at her Aunt, Uncle and cousin, Ali couldn’t help but smile feeling content for a little while even if she missed her Uncle Regulus dearly the next couple of weeks. 

The following day….. 

It was late when Ali woke up. They had stayed up late the night before watching movies till Ted and Andromeda went to bed while her and Dora stayed up later talking. She felt the excitement coursing through her veins at the thought of seeing her other family that day. Knowing that Andromeda would be up soon to tell her about breakfast, Ali decided to write to Regulus before getting dressed. Grabbing parchment and a quill off the desk she settled in the window still and began.

Dear Uncle Reg, 

I hope everything is going better at home today then it was when I was there. I’m kinda sad we didn’t get to have a decent goodbye before I left. I’ll miss you the next week or so that I’m gone and I hope when I get back we can finish the movie series we were watching. Honestly you are a total Jedi, even if you say you aren’t. I leave for the Manor today so when you write back make sure to send it there. Oh, and can you feed Athena for me? I think I left my window open, but I’m not sure so sorry! Try not to murder anyone while I’m gone, and maybe come visit for a day or so just to get away from your brother. Hug Kreacher for me! 

Love your favorite niece, 

Al 

By the time she was done her Aunt was knocking on the door. “Good morning, darling. Breakfast is ready when you are.” Andy gave her niece a kiss on the head before straightening her bed, a habit she hoped to instil in the girls but it never took. “Dora already left with Remus, but they both said to tell you that they loved you and Dora said to not take any of her clothes when you leave, but if you do I won’t tell a soul.” Andromeda winked at her. 

“Okay, I’ll be down in a few minutes just let me get dressed.” Ali opened her trunk while Andromeda gave her some privacy. She dug through it to find a decent outfit knowing full and well that when she got to the Manor she would be going out with Cissa. She settled on a black and white plaid skirt with tights, white combat boots, and a black and blue Ravenclaw Quidditch tee that she had rolled the sleeves on. Throwing her hair in a messy half updo similar to Narcissa’s, she went down stairs. 

Her uncle had made pancakes and bacon for breakfast and she quickly settled in eating her weight in food before bidding goodbye to Andromeda and Ted using the Floo network to take her to the Manor. She didn’t use the Floo often since Grimmauld Place wasn’t set up for it per Moody’s request. Sputtering out a cough, Ali dusted off her clothes before she was wrapped up in the familiar rose scent perfume that Cissa wore. “Oh you're here! I have missed you so much darling.” 

Ali wrapped her arms around her aunt burying her face in her shoulder. Ali was closer to Narcissa then she was Andromeda. She loved her aunts equally, but since her and Draco were so close in age they spent a lot of time at each other's house. Narcissa had looked at Ali as a surrogate daughter whereas Andromeda had a daughter. Narcissa provided the motherly nurture that she needed in her life. “Okay, mother. Let her breath and give us a turn.” 

Ali could literally hear the eye roll in Draco's voice. Narcissa let her go, but not before cupping her face looking at her intensely. Narcissa was incredibly good at reading people and this was something she had done to Draco, Ali, and Dora since they were little to make sure they were okay. From the small frown on her face Ali knew that Cissa knew she was hurt. Cissa also knew they would talk about it later. Draco hugged Ali before spinning her around making her laugh. It was their ritual after a Slytherin won a Qudditch game and it extended to when they hadn’t seen each other in a while. Lastly Ali walked over to her Uncle who was looking at her outfit choice. She knew the words were bound to come out of his mouth in a couple of seconds much like they would Regulus’s if he saw what she had on. “Your skirt is too short Ali,” Lucius hugged his niece before raising an eyebrow at her. 

“Oh, Lucius, stop. It isn’t too short. She’s fine.” Narcissa grabbed her hand before calling their house elf to take Ali’s stuff to her room. “We were wanting to go to Diagon Alley, are you up for it? Lucius needs to get a few things, and we could get you and Draco some school things. But you would rather stay home. I'm sure Draco would keep you company.” 

“Please say you want to stay home,” Draco practically begged looking at his cousin. 

Ali’s smile held nothing by mischief as she looked between Draco and Cissa. She shot a wink at Draco, “I think I want to go. I haven’t been in ages.” Draco let out a huff which led him to receive a Narcissa scowl. 

“Wonderful!,” Narcissa ushered Draco and Ali to the fireplace, Draco grabbed some Floo powder before grabbing Ali’s hand, “Diagon Alley.” 

The pair were quickly followed by the elder Malfoys. Ali knew she needed to get a few books for the new school year so she dragged Draco with her to Flourish and Blotts, while Draco's family spoke with a wizard outside. The potions books were located in the back of the store, Draco started at one end while Ali at the other looking for their sixth year books. Giggles filled the aisle as Draco kept making jokes about the authors names, the two were so engrossed in their book hunting that they didn’t notice the three people standing next to them with amused looks. Ali had bent down to grab a book she would need for Arithmancy as she stood back up she felt a breath on the back of her neck, she quickly turned and nearly screamed when a face was only a few inches away from hers. “Boo!” 

Pansy, Blaise, and Draco were doubled over in laughter at the look on Ali’s face while Theo gave her an apologetic smile, “I cannot believe you just did that!” 

“I would say I’m sorry, but I’m really not,” Theo hugged Ali before stepping aside to speak with Draco. Ali was nearly knocked to the ground with the force of Pansy's hug. 

“Oh Merlin, I have missed you so much, Al. Honestly we cannot go this long without seeing each other anymore.” Pansy wrapped her arms around Ali’s shoulders while Ali went around her waist. Pansy and Ali became friends quickly on the Hogwarts express first year. They had sworn to each other that they would stay friends no matter the houses they got, luckily they both got houses that didn’t rival one another too much so they shared a dorm together more often than not with three other girls, but was only close with Daphne. Snape being the Head of Slytherin house Ali didn’t have to worry about getting into too much trouble if she was caught in the Slytherin girls dorms. Most people saw Pansy and thought she was a stuck up, rude princess, but Ali knew that she was really insecure and used sarcasm to hide it. Pansy was her best friend besides Draco and normally the two would have been at each other's houses over the summer, but with Sirius being out that couldn’t happen. The two were a perfect pair; where Ali was quiet, Pansy was loud, where Ali was the brains of the operations, Pansy was the executor. “I missed you, too. I am so sorry that I couldn’t hang out this summer. We had some family stuff going on.” 

Although the Weasley, Hermione, Harry and her family coud know of Sirius’s whereabouts no one else could until he was proven innocent. With Pettigrew being gone the likelihood of that happening right now was slim. Ali was just grateful that Draco knew so she could at least have someone to talk about it with. “Alright, alright, some of us would like to say hello too, Parkinson.” 

Pansy’s eyes portrayed a look that Ali would have to question her on later. Blaise was Ali’s other really close friend. He was quiet except when he was around his group, but even then he preferred to observe then join. Ali had always found him attractive, but she also knew he would never find her attractive when there were many more prettier girls than her. Blaise kissed her cheek before giving her a hug, “How has your summer been, Supernova?” 

Supernova had been the nickname he had given Ali upon first meeting her. He loved Astronomy, and said it just fit her. “It’s been good. Read a few books, spent some time with my Uncles. How was yours?” 

“Mother got married, again. So we are now onto husband number nine. What books did you read? I had been meaning to write to you, but mother had me busy with all the wedding stuff.” Blaise grabbed the book from her hand after turning it over and checking it out he tucked it in his arm. He was always the gentleman, carrying her bag, opening doors, pulling out chairs for her. She assumed it was instilled into him by his mother since Draco often did the same for Pansy. 

“Snape got me a Muggle set of books I had been wanting so I’m halfway done with those, and I read a few books on dragons. Ya know boring stuff. How’d the wedding go? Do you like him?” Ali twisted the gold ring on her finger causing it to catch Blaise's attention. 

“Not boring at all. If you still have the dragon books can I borrow them? You usually pick really good ones and I'll need all the knowledge I can to compete with you on scores.” He grabbed Ali’s ringed hand, inspecting it before letting it fall back down to her side. “That’s a nice ring, where’d you get it?” 

The ring in question was dainty with a gold band and light green gem surrounded by littler stones. “Oh, my Uncle Reg got it for me when school ended. Said it was for getting such good scores on my OWLs. I think he just thought it was pretty, but needed a reason to get it for me.” 

“Oi! Lovebirds, let's go check out these books so we can get on with our lives. I’m dying from watching that lovely scene you put on for us,” Theo said laughing while Draco smirked at his cousin. He knew that Ali had a crush on Blaise and that Blaise had a crush on Ali, but both would not admit to one another. 

“Oh shut it, Nott. You’re just jealous she likes me more.” Blaise sent her a wink before walking towards the front of the store with Draco. Ali knew he would be paying for her books and that he wouldn’t take no for an answer. Theo was distracted talking to Pansy so Ali decided to have a little payback for the teasing he just did. She pulled her skirt down a little to make it a little longer, before jumping up onto Theos back. Theo, having noticed that Ali was going to do just that, caught her around her knees helping her get settled before walking out of the shop. Pansy talked about her summer so far, stating that she would rather be back at Hogwarts then sitting at home doing nothing. Blaise raised an eyebrow at Ali's position before shaking his head at his friend's antics. 

“Ya know being up this high is super weird,” Ali’s comment caused all her friends to laugh. 

“That’s because you are super small,” Draco replied with an eye roll. Ali was the shortest out of the friend group by an inch or so and they never let her live it down. Outside the shop Narcissa and Lucius were talking with Theodore's father and Pansy's mother. 

“Find what you were looking for?” Lucius asked when they reached the parents. “Yes, father, we did as well as a few strays to bring with us.” 

The comment earned giggles and chuckles from the parents and Ali while Blaise whacked the top of Draco's head and Theo pretended to let Ali slip making her squeal in response and hop down off his back. “Draco don’t you need new Quidditch gloves?” 

Pansy and Ali shared a look while rolling their eyes. All three boys were members of the Quidditch team and while Pansy and Ali enjoyed watching them play, it was tiring hearing them talk about it constantly. The boys looked at each other nodding before Blaise and Draco grabbed Ali and Pansy's hands pulling them to the shop. Before they got out of range Ali stopped and looked back at Narcissa, “We are going to get ice cream after this if that’s okay?” 

“That’s fine darling. Lucius and I will go and get your robes, then head back to the Manor. Bring your friends along with you home. We are all having dinner together tonight. And make sure the boys pay for the ice cream.” Cissa sent her a wink before walking away with Pansy mother.

authors note: Hello I hope you all enjoy this chapter!

Word count: 2,676

Y/n Snape was in her sixth year when Sirius Black broke out of Azkaban. That’s when her father told her everything, about how he loved Lilly, and how James and Sirius bullied him mercilessly. Her father made sure she could defend herself against the dementors, and Sirius black if needed. That year he gave her an old copy of an Advanced Potions book, told her it would have everything she needed to know for this year. Inside were the words “Property of the half-blood prince.” Y/n looked up at her dad and questioned,” who is the half-blood prince?”

“Me. I gave myself the name in my sixth year at Hogwarts. Darling, you need to be careful with some of the spells in here. I invented them in a dark time in my life, use them with caution and only out of necessity.”

“Okay, I’ll be careful.”

“You will have another new defense against the dark art professor this year, his name is Remus Lupin, he is a Lycanthrope. He was friends with Sirius and James. Dumbledore has assigned me with the task of brewing him wolfsbane every month.”

“I just hope he’s better than all the others we had. It would be nice to actually learn something.”

“But you already know everything about defense against the dark art.”

“Yes, but when a professor can make a class interesting it’s more tolerable when being re-taught a lesson.”

“I suppose your right.”

Y/n never understand why her father taught her everything before she got to Hogwarts. Y/n is top of her class because she is advanced in every subject. Her father is a professor at Hogwarts and practically being Dumbledore’s niece has its perks. When she should be taking potions she can have free time to do as she pleases. Her favorite is astronomy. Although her father is a skilled potion master and y/n shares that skill, he’s very passionate about defense against the dark arts. Every year he applies and every year he never gets it, Y/n tells him,” it's okay dad, maybe next year. Dumbledore has to grow tired of employing idiots every year for the position. Doesn’t realize he has the best defense against the dark arts teacher right under his nose.”

“I suppose your right, thank you, dear.” He said going back to reading the Daily Prophet in his armchair in the corner of the room.

” Or maybe he just doesn’t want to lose his magnificent potions master, then he would have to go through the trouble of hiring idiots every year for that position.” She said while placing a cup of earl grey tea on the small table next to her father's chair. She went and sat on the sofa across with a cup of coffee in hand.”

“Thank you, my love. Too much coffee is bad for you, you know”

“Yes, but you see it is my one vice and it won’t kill me so there is no harm.”

“Not your only vice, you have a drawer in your bedside table filled with honey dukes chocolate.”

“Damn legilimency, but still won't kill.” Stop reading my mind father, y/n thought to herself, going back to her book. Her father snickered and went back to his paper. Sirius Black laughing on the front page. Y/n read to distract herself from what she was genuinely feeling. Her poor father, his only love murdered by Voldemort. She would have never been killed if it wasn’t for Sirius. Now, dad has to go on knowing he’s out there.

Although Y/n wasn’t born out of love her father made sure she never felt anything but love. Conjured stuffed animals and tea parties in the garden. Her father squeezed in at night in the single bed to read her a book determined to get her to sleep in her own bed but ultimately the two of them slept in the single with y/n asleep on his chest. Thunderstorms and hot chocolate, watching the lightning from her fathers' bed looking out the bedroom window watching the streaks of white electricity strike the ground. Flower crowns her father would make her to wear during their tea parties and her favorite, Honey Dukes every Saturday during the school year. She wanted it, Severus made it happen. He was putty in her hands, all it took was her looking up at him with those dark eyes, that resembled his own, and saying ,” Daddy please.” And he was done for.

The following week they made their way to Hogwarts with their trunks, Owl cage, and dog in y/n hands. While her father was more of a cat person, due to both their reserved nature. Y/n loved her small dog more than anything. Her father bought the pet for her on her ninth birthday and she’s cared for it since. Goes everywhere with her.

At the feast that night in the great hall there was talk at the Gryffindor table of what had happened on the train with Harry and the dementors. Y/n sat with the trio and chatted with them before Dumbledore spoke and began his classic start of the year speech and introduction to the professors.

“ Harry, are you alright?” Y/n asked as she sat next to Hermione.”

“Oh yeah, I’m alright. I just need to eat something.”

“Tell her Harry, she might know something.” Said Hermione.

“You can trust me, Harry.”

“I heard screaming as I fainted.”

“I’m so sorry Harry, I don’t know what that could have been. I’m sorry I’m not much help.” Y/n said sincerely. Dumbledore began his speech by introducing all the professors. When he introduced R.J. Lupin y/n couldn’t help but stare at his scarred face and darned robes. And he used to bully my father she thought to herself. You would think she would grow used to all the ill-mannered comments made about her father, but every now and again she broke down in tears and tucked herself away in bed for a day or two. Interrupted from her thoughts by Harry he began to explain how it was Lupin who helped him from the dementors. Of course he helped Harry, now he can take credit for saving the “famous Harry Potter” his friends' son of all people, Y/n thought to herself. Why couldn’t he had stepped in at some point to defend my father from James Potters ridicule. Oh yeah because he is selfish. At the end of the meal she had worked her self up with so much rage towards him. How was she supposed to face him tomorrow. Maybe she could drop the class.

DADA class with professor Lupin was her first class of the day. She walked in and took a seat near the back of the class. Once the rest of the students arrived Professor Lupin began.

“Hello class, I am professor Lupin and I will be your new defense against the dark arts teacher this year. I’d first like to start by learning about your selves, First and last names, something you did this summer, a subject your passionate about and maybe something you enjoy. It can be anything you enjoy. Starting from the front of the class working towards the back. Please stand when you speak, Thank you.” After about 20 minutes it was her turn.

“Hello, I’m Y/n Snape, I spent my summer reading in the garden and something I enjoy is reading.” As she went to sit he held out his hand as to stop her.

“Would you describe the garden.”

“Yes, It’s small with a swing for two. There’s three gardening beds one with herbs and another other with strawberries, and one with vegetables. There’s white roses along the right side of the fence then at the top a lavender bush and next to that is a rosemary bush and pink roses along the back fence. The swing is on the left fence, no plants over there.”

“Sounds lovely and your favorite book?”

“It’s a muggle book, Alice in wonderland by Lewis Carol. It’s an easy read, fast.”

“Well thank you Y/n.” He said with a smile and moved on to the girl sat next to her.

Class went by quickly, after everyone spoke he went over the curriculum for up until Christmas break. She had a break in between this class and the next and decided to go to the dungeons where her father was and have a cup of coffee.

“How was your first class?” She asked her father and started making a pot of coffee.

“Idiot first years. To excited to be here they can’t focus, what makes them think they can talk in class? It’s the muggle schools they all start at that give them the wrong idea.”

“Well I’m sure you scared them quiet.”

“What’s that supposed to mean Y/n.” Her fathers never used her full name, it was always dear or princess or some other nickname.

“I just mean it wouldn’t kill you to allow them to have quiet conversation amongst them selves when they’re not working with potions.”

“That’s when they mess up. If they aren’t fully focused on the lesson before hand then there is more of a chance for an accident to occur when it comes time too make the potion.”

“Yes, your right. Sorry father.”

“It’s okay darling. I understand you have empathy for your peers.”

Then there was a knock at the door.

“Enter.” Bellowed her father. With that Remus entered. She could tell that him seeing her made him nervous. Was it story’s from there school days that he feared or was it that he feared Severus told his daughter of his condition.

“I hope I’m not interrupting anything. Hello y/n.” He said cheerfully.

“Hello professor.” She said going back too sipping her coffee.

“How can I help you Lupin.”

“Yes well, it seams I forgot-,”

“She knows.”

“Pardon me.”

“I tell her everything, she knows what you are. And if your here wondering if I will be able to make your potion for this month i will.”

“Oh thank you Severus. Well I guess I’ll leave now. See you both at dinner.”

“Professor, I wont tell anyone if that’s what your scared of.”

“Well thank you Y/n, I appreciate your kindness.”

“Of course, goodbye.”

“Good bye, i’ll see you in class.”

With that he walked away. She continued drinking her coffee at her fathers desk as students arrived for there class. After she finished her coffee she left to charms class. After her charms class she had lunch in the great hall and waved down by Hermione. she walked over and sat next to Harry with Ron and Hermoine sat infront of her.

“How are all your classes so far?” She asked them as she sat down.

“There all right so far we have your dad 4 times a week this year!” shouted Ron making Y/n laugh.

“Shall I try and pop in everynow and again and try and make class more bareable?” she suggested.

“yes!” shouted Ron again.

“I saw you went to Romania to visit Charlie, how is he?”

“Oh he’s doing fantasic! Romania is wicked! Charlie is having loads of fun with his dragons too. I understand now why he doesn’t come around much anymore.”

“How about Bill, how is he?”

“He’s got a great job at gringotts as a curse breaker. Mum keeps saying he needs to cut his hair. I kinda like it long though.”

“Its always looked better long. Well I better get going now. I have potions in a couple of hours.”

“blimey thats aweful!”

“Ron!” Hermione shouted at him and hit him in the arm.

“It’s alright Hermione, thank you. See you lot later.”

With that she left downh to the dungeons where her fathers potions class room was.

“Hello father.” She entered quite cheerfully.

“Hello.” he said dully.

“Your already grading assignments?”

“Obviously.”

“Well i’m going to the room, i’ll see you later for class.”

“Don’t bother. You already know everything about felix felicis.”

“Thats what the lesson is on.”

“Yes.”

“I’ll just go anyway.”

She left to there shared room where she started her Charms assignment. After she wrote her paper she made her way to potions where she sat with her friend Lucy.

“Why the hell weren’t you at defense against the dark arts today.”

“I over slept, I snuck in to the boys dormitory last night and met up with Orlo in his bed.” She giggled and nudged Y/n’s shoulder.

“You did what!” She looked at her shocked and wanting to know more.

“5 points from Gryffindor if the two of you do not stop your conversation, may i remind you this is a N.E.W.T level class and I did not have to accept you into this class Ms.Harrison”

“Sorry sir.”

Professor Snape continued the lesson as usual. After class Y/n stayed behind to help her father clean up.

“Did you come to class today just to catch up with your friend?”

“No, I came to class because I’m taking the class.”

“Don’t tell me you couldn’t brew a vile of Felix Felicis right now if I asked Y/n.”

“Look I understand your under a lot of stress with everything going on but you don’t have to take it out on me. Im on your side.”

“Your right. I apologize.”

“I didn’t mean to disrupt the class earlier. I was just wondering why she wasn’t in class this morning.”

“It’s fine, no need to explain. You can go we’re done here for now.”

“Are you sure? I could stay behind and help. This was my last class for the day.”

“It’s fine. Go chat with your friend.”

“Thank you dad.” She walked up and kissed his cheek and left to the Gryffindor common room where saw Lucy infringe of the fire working on the potions assignment her father had assigned earlier. 2 rolls of parchment on Felix Felicis. Y/b helped her with her assignment and they talked until dinner time when done. At dinner Lucy went with Orlo her new boyfriend and y/n sat and ate with the Twins.

“So why is your dad more angry than usual.” Asked Fred

“I didn’t think he was.”

“Forget it Fred. You know she doesn’t ever receive that side of her dad.” Said George

“What do you think of the new dada teacher? He’s pretty cool huh.” Asked Fred

“I think its nice he try’s to get to know a little about the students instead of starting the first day back with a lesson.” Y/n responded

“Yeah, next class we’re doing a revision on Red Caps. He says he wants to get the more boring lessons out of the way for the more interesting ones.” Said George

“Yes my next class with him is on dementors, he wanted to start with that because how they’re here this year and how to defend ourselves against them using expecto patronum.”

“Don’t you already know that?” Asked Fred.

“Yeah, can you produce a patronus? Asked George

“Well yes, non-corporeal. I’ve never really tried to produce a corporeal patronus.”

“Why not? if anyone could do it, it would be you.” said George

“I suppose your right, maybe i’ll try one day.”

After dinner she showered and went to bed. Her father was already asleep by the time she got out. Normally she would stay up and read a little but this timed she went to sleep needing to be up early for charms class in the morning. As she tried to sleep all she could think about is professor Lupin, so kind and timid. But remembered he was present for all her fathers abuse and never bothered to speak up. Timid or a coward? Timid out of guilt or fear? Father could easily poison him. I know he wouldn’t but Lupin doesn’t.

Their Daughter

Relationship: Regulus Black x niece!Reader, Remus Lupin x Black!reader, Severus Snape x Black!reader, Sirius Black x daughter!reader

Warnings: Insecurities 

Summary: What would have happened if Regulus hadn’t died and Sirius had a daughter whose the same age as Harry? What if Regulus raised her with the help of some friends? What when Sirius comes back from Azkaban and Harry shows up to live at Grimmuald Place? This is the story of Alianova Jane Black.  Voices coming from downstairs stirred Ali from her peaceful sleep. Glancing at the clock on her nightstand she saw that it was only 9am which was pretty early for her and everyone else that lived in her house. Normally her Uncle Reg would be awake, but would be quietly reading till she came down later in the morning since she didn’t have school due to it being summer. Summers were Ali’s favorite time of the year; she got to spend time with her Uncles Regulus, Remus, and Severus. They had raised her since her father was shipped off to Azkaban for the murder of his best friends. They normally didn’t talk about her father in the house since her grandmother hated him and Regulus and him didn’t get along. Uncle Remus didn’t say a lot about him either. She knew that at one point they were best friends in school. 

Although they didn’t talk about him a lot Aunt Cissa often said that Ali looked a lot like him with her dark brown hair and grey eyes. No one knew who her mother was since she left Ali at her fathers doorstep when she was six months old. According to Grandmother she was the product of a one night stand, she never said Ali was an accident unlike how she had heard some of the other parents call their children. She often said she was a blessing when she was alive. Grandfather died before her dad went to Azkaban, and Uncle Reg almost died from an Inferi attack caused by the Dark Lord. She went to live with her Uncle when she was one and a half. Her Godparents oblivious couldn’t take her seeing as they were dead. And Remus needed help with her due to his monthly problem which was how she ended up here. Grandmother died when Ali was five, but we weren’t around her a lot to begin with. Regulus didn’t want my views on life tainted by hers, so he often kept Ali out of the house we shared with her or just with him in general. Her portrait still hung in the hall, constantly talking to whoever would listen. 

Unbeknownst to anyone else Ali knew that her father had escaped his prison last year. She also knew that he came to Hogwarts and sought out her Godbrother Harry instead of her. She knew her Uncle Remus, who was working at Hogwarts during the time, tried his hardest to make sure she didn’t know. Ali had not only overheard the Golden Trio talking about it as well as Regulus and Remus’s conversation about it during one of his visits. No one had mentioned it, but if they did she wouldn’t lie and say that it didn’t hurt. Why wouldn’t he seek her out? She was his daughter, not Harry. Wasn’t I what he wanted? She thought time and time again. She heard a few stories from Remus, the few times he talked about Sirius, that he loved her a lot when she was a baby. Constantly doting on her and playing with her, she even slept with him as a baby. So why not me? She couldn’t help but wonder.

Shaking herself from her thoughts, she hopped out of bed slipping her feet into her fluffy socks to rid the chill of Grimmauld Place floor. Athena was bouncing around in her cage begging to be let out. The commotion downstairs seemed to be getting louder the longer it went on. She quickly opened the cage and window letting Athena be free knowing she would probably be back with a letter from her best friends Draco, and Theo at some point in the day. Once she opened her door she realized that all of her Uncles were downstairs as well as someone else whose voice she didn’t recognize. The talking didn’t stop once she got the door opened so she decided to tiptoe down the stairs in hopes of catching what was being said. Her plans were ruined once Grandmothers portrait caught sight of her; she just had to talk. 

“Good morning, my darling girl. How did you sleep last night? You’re Uncle has been making such a ruckus, and in my house of all things.” 

She rolled my eyes, praying that the people downstairs were too busy yelling at one another to notice the noise coming from the hall. But Ali was wrong. 

“Alianova, I know you are not trying to eavesdrop are you?,” Remus said causing the others to fall silent. 

She pasted the most innocent smile on her face that she could muster up before continuing down the stairs. “Me? Eavesdropping? Of course not, Uncle Rem. I was just- just talking with Grandmother.” 

She moved to him as he rolled his eyes at her oblivious lie before pulling her to his chest in a hug. “I missed you, Ali.” He whispered into her ear. Remus and Ali had always been close. Grandmother didn’t like him coming to the house much, though she allowed once in a while if Ali asked nicely enough, but Regulus always made sure that Ali would get to see him at least once a week. After Grandmother passed Remus started to come over more often taking her to the book stores in Muggle London. She knew that as children there had been a tension between Regulus and Remus, but over the years it seemed to have vanished leaving the two to have a friendship of sorts that was even present while Ali was at Hogwarts. “I missed you, too. Why haven’t you been coming around? I’ve been out of school for three weeks and this is the first time I’ve seen you…” 

After everything that happened with her father it deeply hurt that Remus hadn’t come to see her. She frequently wondered if he had decided that Harry was better than her as well. She saw his eyes glance up to the third man in the room before answering, “I had a few things to take care of. I’ll be around a lot more, promise Ali.” 

He gave her one more squeeze before passing her off to Severus who was looking rather annoyed by the fact that he was being ignored by the only child he could stand. Like Remus, she was also close to Severus. She knew that most people saw him as cold and mean, but that was only the front he put up to the outside world. Around her he was talkative, and another father figure. Since he worked at Hogwarts she could be found in his office in some of her free time working on homework or helping him with potions for Madam Pompfrey. He was there for her when she came to Hogwarts nervous to be around some many people at once. He watched her get sorted into Ravenclaw and cry when she thought that she was going to be a disappointment to Remus for not getting Gryffindor, and Regulus for not getting Slytherin. He was in no way the “fun” Uncle, but he was a big support in her life. 

Severus patted the top of her head as she hugged his torso. He wasn’t a touchy feely person though he made exceptions for Ali. “Good morning, Alianova.” 

He was the only person who called her by her full first name. Most called her Nova with the exclusion of Remus who called me Ali, and Regulus who called me A, Al, or Ali Jane when she was in trouble. Ali rolled her eyes up to Sev’s face with her nose scrunched up to show that she still despised being called that. She saw his lips quirk a little on the sides in response knowing that if it was just him and Ali he would have smiled some. Deciding to play dirty right back Ali uttered a  “Good morning Uncle Sevvy.” 

His normal scowl fell back into place upon hearing his hated nickname she had given him as a child. Remus chuckled hearing it while the other man in the room stared at them with what appeared to be disbelief etched on his features. She cocked her head looking in his directions trying to think of where she had seen his face before. It wasn’t hard to place it. It was Sirius Black. His face was plastered all over The Daily Profit last year, and she had also seen a few photos of him in the attic. His eyes took in all the features on her face as if he was analyzing her. She shifted uncomfortably on her feet from the attention. Behind her Remus and Severus shared a look while Regulus stepped back into the room. 

Noticing the tension that had fallen he decided to speak, “What, princess? Everyone gets a good morning but me? And to think I had Kretcher make you pancakes with strawberries and whipped cream for breakfast.” 

Ali moved to the man who had been her father for as long as she could remember. She never called him Dad, but it was what he was. He was only twenty when she was thrown into his life, but even then he didn’t let Grandmother do a lot for her. She learned as she got older that he was part of the Death Eaters as well as Severus. They didn’t hide it from her explaining what it was and how they came to be them. According to her Uncles and Aunts, Regulus changed when she came into his life. He was static, showed little emotion, and never smiled. That was the side to Regulus Black that she had never seen. He smiled, was often goofy, and openly expressed his love for her multiple times throughout the day. She knew that this was because he didn’t want her to grow up how he and his brother had, with no love shown. Which was why he was the only to get up with her when she was a baby and let her sleep in his bed after nightmares. Some said that Grandmother raised her till she died and she just had nowhere else to go which couldn’t be further from the truth. Regulus had raised her from a young age of twenty giving his life to make sure hers was perfect, often going against what Grandmother wanted of Ali. He fed her, taught her to read and play piano, let her cuddle in his bed and watched Muggle telly on Sundays, called Narcissa when she had girl problems, and altogether just loved her, often not caring who saw that side of him. 

Ali kept her eyes trained on the man who was supposed to be her father while tucking herself under Regulus’s arm. Sensing that she knew who Sirius was, Regulus pulled her tight, pressing a kiss to her head before speaking, “If I’m correct you know who this is right, Al?” 

She nodded her head, unable to speak, afraid that the tears she was holding would come through. At her nod Sirius stepped forward slowly as if she would be frightened like an animal. “Hi there, sweetheart. You really do look like me, uh?” 

Gulping slightly she nodded once again. She wasn’t sure what to do. Does she introduce herself? Does she say hi? She looked up at Remus and Severus who were both watching the exchange, the latter more like glaring at Sirius whereas the former was ready to step in at a second notice. She turned her head to look at Regulus next, hoping he would give her directions on what to do. He tilted his head to the side letting her know that it was okay to speak. “H-hi. I’m Alianova. Alianova Jane Black.” 

The man before her smiled brightly. “Hi, love. I’m Sirius, your dad. But I think you already knew that.” She nodded again. Tears were swimming in her eyes again because she knew that this shouldn't have been the first time she met him. She should have met him months ago when he came for her instead of Harry. Harry; the golden boy with his golden friends; who had enough family issues that he gets pity while her family who was also torn apart that night gets nothing but looks of disgust all for being a Black. She caught herself wondering at times if her life would have been different if she was a Lupin or a Snape or maybe even a Malfoy. And it made her angry standing in front of the man who not only brought her into the world as a Black, but also left her that fateful night in order to pursue revenge without even thinking about what would happen to her. 

Her sniffle caught the attention of the room, “Why?” Ali needed to know. She needed to know why he left her that night and why he didn’t come for her when he escaped. Panicked by her question Sirius glanced at Remus then Regulus, not sure what to do. 

Regulus took the intuitive to figure it out, “Why what, princess?” 

Her eyes flickered to my Uncles tall figure, “Why did he leave me that night? But more importantly why didn’t he come for me like he did for Harry when he escaped? I was in Hogwarts too. He knew I existed and he knew that I more than likely went to school there. So why Harry?” Ali turned to look back at Sirius who was shocked by the sudden confidence in her voice, but she was a Black, a short temper was to be expected. “Was I not enough? Did you not want me in the first place? I mean I know you didn't. I was the product of a one night stand, so it’s not like I was planned or anything. So why? Why couldn’t you come to me? Why couldn’t you stay for me?” By the time she was done tears were coming down her cheeks and Sirius’s mouth was opening and closing like a fish. 

“I-I” Sirius stuttered trying to find the right words to explain all his actions. Ali could tell by his actions that he thought she didn’t know that he came to Hogwarts for Harry. It wasn’t public knowledge, and according to the other men in the room faces they didn’t know she knew either. She never believed that he did the crime. From the few stories she was told she knew that he loved James and Lily like family and wouldn’t have turned on them which was why she wasn't afraid of him in the first place. She just wanted to know if they were more important than her, if Harry was more important than her. “I know that you probably don’t remember much from that night if anything at all, but when my best friends, your God parents, were taken from me I was angry. So angry that I couldn’t think straight so I left. I took you to the neighbor who watched you a few times for me and went to go take down the man who did it. It was stupid. I should have waited for Remus, but I didn’t. I wanted nothing more the past twelve years, but to get Harry and for us to be a family. As for not seeing you at Hogwarts, I didn’t know you were there. I wasn’t sure who you were staying with so I knew you could have been there or Dumstrang or Beauxbatons. I didn’t have a lot of time to hunt for people. Once I knew where Pettigrew was I had to get to him. I’m sorry, Alianova. For everything.” 

One thing that often got her in trouble was that she was a very forgiving person. She often forgives anyone who apologized for whatever wrong they did. But this was the one time she wasn’t sure. He apologized, but it didn’t feel authentic. It was like he didn’t even believe some of the words he was saying. She looked around the room again trying to read everyone's faces. Remus looked like he was slightly mad, but when he caught her looking at him his features soften like the times she was hurt and needed him. Severus was still glaring at Sirius, and didn’t notice my scrutiny, and Regulus had now joined Severus in glaring at Sirius which concerned her. He smiled down at her a little when his eyes moved to her face. She looked back at Sirius who was looking at her with what could only be described as puppy dog eyes. Ali took in all his features noting how his brow furrowed, his lips turned down lightly, his eyes big and pleading into hers.

“I-I understand.” Ali couldn’t forgive him yet. She needed to trust him first. She understood what he was saying, and that he was sorry, but it wasn’t okay. And he needed to know that. His face fell slightly at her words, turning his handsome features into a small frown. 

Before he could say anything Regulus intervened, “Alright how about breakfast, love? I know you’re hungry.” Ali giggled as her stomach grumbled in response. “It’s on the table. Muggle way just the way you like it. Go on and we’ll be in shortly.” 

Ali kissed his cheek in thanks, sparing a look around the room before heading down to the kitchen. Knowing that the reason they weren’t joining her right then was to talk about something Regulus obviously didn’t want her hearing she came back up the stairs after opening and shutting the door to the kitchen making it seem like she was in there. Carefully avoiding the squeaky stairs she crouched down to peer around the corner to see the men still standing in the same spots all looking rather annoyed with one another. 

“She understands? That’s all she had to say?” Sirius seemed frustrated and slightly angry if the look on his face said anything. “How is that all she had to say? I apologized. I’m her father. She wouldn’t even hug me.” He threw his hands up while plopping down on the chair before running his hands through his hand, something Ali noted her Uncle Regulus did as well when he was upset. 

“Sirius, you have to understand that she doesn’t know you. She has maybe three photos of you, and has rarely heard stories. Mother loved her, but didn’t like to talk about you very much even when Ali asked. It hasn’t been easy on her. She is ridiculed for her last name constantly; people often judge that before getting to know her. She has no friends in her house really; choosing to spend her free time with Severus, and Remus when he worked at Hogwarts. You can’t just expect her to welcome you with open arms especially after knowing that you went for Harry and not her. Which for the record I did not tell her.” 

“Oh cut the bullshit, Regulus. You told her you know you did. You can’t stand me. You wanted her to hate me. I may have been locked up, but I know that Mother controlled you and probably my daughter till the day she died. She probably filled Alianova’s head with lies about me from the beginning. Bloody hell, you probably did the same!” Sirius exclaimed while getting in younger brother faces. Remus and Severus looked ready to pull the duo apart at a moment's notice. 

Ali could tell from the twitch in her Uncle's eye that he was trying to hold his temper. She had seen it before when someone had made a snide remark about her in Diagon Ally when they went for ice cream her second year. She didn’t want to be the cause of a fight, but she knew better than to intervene. All she could do was sit and watch wide eyed as the potential fight stirred. 

“No. No, Sirius. I have never told that little girl, my little girl mind you, a single lie about you or me or anyone for that matter. After the Inferi incident I never went back to my Dark Mark ways. I acted as a spy for the Order. Dumbledore knew which is part of the reason why I have Ali. He knew I would protect her when he told me what happened. I didn’t know what to believe when he told me that, and she knows that. I never told her you did or didn’t do it. None of us did. Mother rarely mentioned you, and when she did it was because Ali brought it up first. She was five when Mum died, she doesn’t even remember her very much. Mum may have been horrible to us, but the moment I brought Ali here she changed. She loved Ali more than anything. She treated her nothing like how she treated us.” Ali saw her Uncle take a deep breath before continuing. “Ali may be your daughter, but she's mine too. You left HER to go pursue revenge for James. YOU weren’t there all the night she woke up crying wanting to know why not only her Mum left her, but you did too. You weren’t there when she questioned everything about herself when she was ten because she felt inadequate due to someone at school bringing up the fact that she didn’t have parents. You weren’t there when she skinned her knees falling off a broom at Andromedas, and Remus and I had to talk her into getting back on it. You left her; she owes you nothing. And as for me not being able to stand you; I wouldn’t let you in this house if I couldn’t stand you.” Regulus ran his hand through his hair before looking at Remus and Severus who nodded. “Now, she is probably wondering where we are. If you want to join us for breakfast you can. Maybe it will give you a chance to get to know her.” 

Sirius was speechless. Remus thought it was hilarious as the man who couldn’t keep his mouth shut before was just schooled by his younger brother. 

If he can’t handle Regulus he won’t survive Ali, Remus thought. Although Remus wouldn’t admit it out loud Ali acted a lot like Regulus in her wits, sarcasm and charisma. As everyone turned to go towards the stairs Remus stayed back to say something to Sirius. “I know this isn’t easy on you. But Ali is different then you. She takes a while to warm up, and trust people. Keep that in mind. No matter what you think everyone in this room loves her. We’ve watched her grow into who she is today. Just keep a level head about it.” Remus patted his shoulder before heading down the stairs. Yes, Ali was Sirius’s child, but whereas he was loud and outgoing she was more quiet and reserved. Remus knew Ali liked to watch and learn rather than doing which was why she was such good friends with Draco. More times than not Ali was the one who thought out the plans while Draco executed. Remus could only hope that Sirius didn’t shove Ali away when it came down to Harry. Remus was mad when he found out that Sirius hadn’t contacted Ali knowing that it would hurt her if she ever found. 

Ali scurried down the stairs as quietly as possible before sitting in her seat to hopefully looking like she had been here the whole time. She opened the first book she saw on the table right as everyone else entered. Severus gave her a skeptical look when he saw her smile at him, and she knew that she had been caught. Always the observant her Uncle Sev. “Not eating yet, Alianova?” 

“Oh, um no. I was just waiting for all of you of course.” Everyone filed to the table; Remus sitting to one side with Sirius while Regulus and Severus sat on either side of Ali. An awkward silence ensued while everyone piled food onto their plates. Ali kept her eyes firmly on the table, but she felt at least two gazes on her. Risking it she looked up to see Sirius and Remus looking at her. 

Remus cleared his throat breaking the silence, something that Ali was incredibly grateful for, “Ali, how was the rest of your school year?” 

“Oh um, it was fine. I actually hung out with Cho Chang towards the end. It was nice. We helped each other study for Transfiguration, then went to Hogsmeade for Butterbeers with Theo, Blaise, and Daphne.” Ali knew that those at the table who knew her well knew that she didn’t have a lot of friends besides those that Draco hung out with. Being a Black meant a lot of people didn’t trust her unless they were a Slytherin, which was something Ali was not. “I got pretty good scores on my OWLs. I got the highest score out of my whole year in Potions.” 

“I’m so proud of you Ali! I knew you could do it! What about Transfiguration and DADA? I know you struggled some when I was still there.” Remus had turned his attention fully on Ali, but he could see Sirius watching with peak interest wanting to ask questions and he could only hope that Sirius did so. It would make Ali trust him a little more if he showed interest in her life and Remus knew that. 

Ali beamed up at her Uncle, glad to know that he still cared about her life even after Sirius came back, “I got an Acceptable in Transfiguration and a Exceeds Exceptions in DADA. Honestly though if it wasn’t for Draco I wouldn’t have gotten that good in DADA. I swear on Merlin I lived in his dorm the whole two weeks before exams.” 

Her over exaggeration caused Remus and Regulus to chuckle while Severus scowled, “I am going to pretend that I did not hear that since you know you are not supposed to be in there.” 

“Oh calm down, Sev. She wasn’t in there alone I’m sure, and besides it got her a good grade.” Regulus exclaimed wrapping an arm around Ali hugging her while she stuck her tongue out at Severus. 

“I wasn’t in there alone. Blaise, Theo, Pansy, and Daphne were with us and besides that's my cousin, practically my brother gross. I know we’re purebloods, but yuck.” Her comment made everyone at the table break out in a smile. Finally Sirius decided to quit staring and talk to his daughter. He couldn’t hold his tongue any longer after the word cousin left her mouth. He could only hope to be Andromeda's child. 

“Cousin? Which cousin?” Sirius asked before taking a bite. Ali felt Regulus tense slightly at her father's question. Was she not supposed to answer? 

“Draco. Draco Malfoy. He’s Narcissa’s son,” She answered honestly. Ali didn’t see the point in lying. Draco was her best friend, they did almost everything together. 

Sirius was stunned to know that not only had Regulus, who claimed not to be a Death Eater, hang out with a Malfoy, but also Remus who knew better then anyone that is was a stupid thing to do. The Malfoy’s were nothing but Pureblood supremacists with a breeding problem. He opened his mouth to speak, but quickly closed when Remus kicked him under the table. Sirius knew that Remus didn’t want him to say anything about it and from the look on Regulus’s face he didn’t either. He decided that it could wait till the adults were alone, or just Sirius and Remus were fine with him, so he could get some answers because any child of his was not going to spend time with Lucius Malfoy's child. The silence filled the room again making Ali squirm in her seat til Sirius spoke again, “Um, what- what house are you in, Ali?”

 This question caused Ali to tense up. She knew her father was in Gryffindor and she assumed her mother was as well. Her father was known for bashing Slytherins which was what most of her friends were. Even the Sorting Hat debated for five minutes over whether she was a Slytherin or a Ravenclaw. 

Gulping she answered, “I’m a - a Ravenclaw.” 

“Really?” Ali nodded. “Do you like it? I mean I didn’t know a lot of Ravenclaws when I was in school.” 

“Oh um yeah, I guess. I like to read so the common room is always quiet which is nice.” 

“You must have gotten that from your mum. I wasn’t much of a reader, preferred Quidditch,” Sirius let out a laugh. He was trying but it was hard to talk to a fifteen year old who you didn’t know a lot about, but was also your daughter. “Do you play?” 

That caused Ali to laugh. She was a lot of things, but talented at Quidditch was not one of them. She knew that her dad was a player back in the day, a beater if she remembered correctly, but there was honestly no point in her even trying she could barely fly a broom; that alone took a lot of practice and help from her Uncles and friends. “No. Honestly it would be easier for a Niffler to play then me.” 

“Godric, Ali is horrible at flying. I think it might be her downfall one day, literally she's falling off the broom more than flying usually,” Remus chimed in. 

Laughter was heard around the table then, and even if it was at her expense Ali was glad for it. The tension that was surrounding everyone seemed to leave the air and easy conversation flowed after that. Sirius asked Ali more about her interest and school while Remus and Regulus cleaned the kitchen up; something that shook Sirius to his core was seeing his little brother clean things the Muggle way. Severus had to leave to pick up a few things for some potions he was working on which led to Ali hugging her Uncle goodbye and him actually smiling, and judging by the look on Sirius’s face that was something he was not prepared for. 

“Did he just smile? Like openly? And HUG her?” He practically shouted after Severus had left, “I don’t think I’ve ever seen him smile even in school.” 

Regulus scoffed lightly at that, “Well you would have seen him smile in school if you wouldn’t have tormented him all those years. But yes, he did and does hug Ali. She is probably the only one he will ever hug, but it is something.” 

“Sirius, something that you don't know is that Alianova was, and frankly is, the light of a lot of people's lives.” Ali blushed at the comments being made about her from Remus. “She was brought into Regulus, and your mothers lives when she was still trying to get over the loss of your father and Regulus almost being killed. I know your mum was a mean old bat.” Ali let out a string of giggles at that, making Regulus look at her with his eyebrow raised; she quickly looked back down at the table while her Uncle shook his head amused. “But she wasn’t mean to Ali. She loved her to pieces. Yes, some of her views were wrong still they were never shoved down Ali’s throat. Not only did she bring light to their lives, but also to mine and Severus’s. After everything that happened I didn’t even want to stay in London. I had lost everything. Then one morning there is a knock at my door. I debated opening it, but I am immensely glad that I did. I’m gonna be truthful here and this is stuff that Ali and Regulus haven’t heard, but I was scared when he showed up with her. I didn’t know what had happened to her. Harry was shipped off to the Dursleys, and her Godparents were dead and no one would give me much information about her. I had simply given up on the Magical world. Then I watched them play on the floor of my living room and I knew that no one could raise her better than Regulus. He asked me to help of course, and the same goes for Severus. He had lost the one he thought he loved and needed a new outlook on things. He got that from Ali.” Remus placed his hands on the girls shoulders when he noticed she had tears in her eyes. “And I can guarantee that she will be your light too if you let her, Sirius.” 

No one said anything for a few minutes. All were taking in the words Remus had just said. Ali wasn’t used to being talked about like that. Yes, she got praise for school or piano, but no one called her their light before. Regulus stood thinking about the things Remus had said knowing that it was nothing but the truth. He isn’t sure what would have happened if Ali hadn’t come to him, but the outcome would not have been a good one. His self destructive actions stopped the day that baby was placed in his arms. He loved Ali like his own and would protect her from the world. He could only hope that Sirius wouldn’t make the same mistake that he did with him and push her away.
