“So, where are you from? You know, since we just randomly found you and everything.” Piped up the boy they called Peter.

“Hmm? Oh, I’m from…well I’m not really sure. I live in Baltimore though, in Maryland.” Alleah looked contemplative as she thought about the question.

Sirius Black’s eyebrows raised. “You don’t know where you’re from? Seriously?”

She glared at him. “No. I do not know where I am from. I was adopted, found on the side of an interstate."

 “Oh. I see. Well, I kind of see. So which house do you think I’ll be in?”

Remus smiled. “Well James, Peter, and I are hoping you’ll be in Gryffindor with us.”

“What about Sirius?” Lila rolled over on her side to look at Remus, as they had been lying side by side.

“Sirius…well, he would prefer to not think about you coming to school with us.” 

Lila nodded, a single tear running down her cheek.
