Summary: Siria... A girl hidden away for thirteen years, she takes after her daddy, Sirius Black, but she's lived with another person, one who seemed to be Sirius' enemy throughout their hogwarts years, but everything is not as it seems. Especially since she has so many things she needs to hide, the only problem... These troublemaking twins keep trying to tear down her defenses, here's to Siria Black/Snape. The next padfoot, Hogwarts beware, you're in for one heck of a year... Good luck!
Siria slid down the stairs of her home. It was usually empty since her 'mother' died and her father worked on a regular basis.
"Father? Are you here?" She asked as she reached the bottom step.
She noticed that her father's study light was on. She placed her hand on the pillar next to the staircase. A magical compartment opened and she withdrew a wand. She slid down the hall and to the study door and slid it silently open, she pointed her wand
at the animigus.
"Who are you and why are you in my father's study?" She asked sharply, she watched the huge black dog transform.
"Didn't know he had a kid let alone a thirteen year old not in Hogwarts." He said and Siria noted the sadness in his voice.
"Father didn't want anyone to know about me, he said I'd be used as a bargaining chip if people found out."
"There's something called a fake identity, kid, and from the way your hair is flickering you're a metamorphagus."
"Father would kill me..." She whispered.
"Do you believe that?" He asked and Siria shook her head 'no'. "Didn't think so."
"He'll know it's me and I'll get in trouble."
"What's life if you can't live a little, huh, kid?"
"My name is Siria." She said and he blinked.
"I can help you stay safe at Hogwarts if you help me."
"What do you want from me?"
"I just need your help getting into the school. They have a policy that if you have a familiar the familiar has to come with you. So, do we have a deal?"
"Yes, we have a deal." She said and they shook hands.
"During the school year you will be known as Siria Black."
"Alright."
"I need to know something first... Why are you here alone? Snape could have hid you in his chambers, and what about your mother?"
"Father has constant visitors in his chambers, like the headmaster and a few 'former' death eaters. Old slytherin aquaintences as he called them. He doesn't trust either. As for mum... I never knew her, dad said she died when I was little, I don't really
know but I think he's lying, my other parent isn't dead, I can tell."
"We'll figure it out when we get to gringotts bank." He said. The girl had always had 'greasy' black hair. She was 'born' that way, that was what her father thought. Before she left her hair went from greasy black to smooth, wavy and shiny black, her
eyes went to their natural blue-grey. They left and appeared in the entrance of knockturn alley, Sirius changed into his animigus form. They walked into diagon alley and into gringotts. They stopped infront of the teller and the dog barked, catching
it's attention.
"How may I help you?" "I'd like to take a blood test, to confirm my family."
"Name?"
"That's best given behind closed doors." Siria said and the goblin nodded.
Another goblin came over to them and led them away to an office. The goblin placed a piece of parchment on the desk, and instructed her to place three drops of blood on the parchment. She did and watched as two seperated family trees came into sight.
The Snape and... Black family trees. She rolled it up quickly before Sirius could see.
~Siria's point of view~
"Could I visit one of the trust vaults? Preferable the latter." I said and the goblin nodded. "Of course. Come with me."
'What's wrong, Siria?' Sirius asked me and I flinched.
'Its best if father were to explain... To both of us.' I thought back and he sighed, knowing I wasn't going to budge.
I placed the parchment into my pocket and followed quickly after the goblin, soon we were outside a vault and I closed my eyes for a second before walking inside. I gathered enough for the school supplies and robes, along with a wand, a registered one.
I had used the one dad had stolen from the ministry twelve years ago. He never explained why he had it or who it belonged to.
"Now to the leaky cauldron." I said after I left the wand shop. Sirius and I walked towards the leaky cauldron's entrance and I tapped on the wall. We slipped through and I nodded towards a table.
'Wait there, okay?' I asked silently.
'Alright, be careful.'
'I will. Promise.' I said and walked to Tom and ordered some food and a butterbeer. I walked back to Sirius and sat down. I handed food to Sirius every few moments and we finished off the food easily. I took the platter back to Tom and when I came back
I saw a man in black, with platinum blonde hair, with his wife and son, I knew this family. The Malfoy family, they used to visit dad when I was little and hid in his chambers.
"Snuffles." I called. "It's time to go."
Sirius' head jerked up and he moved quickly to me, I flicked my wrist and my stuff floated to me. I took a hold of it and placed my hand on his fur. We hurried out into the busy street of London. We rounded a corner and I flinched when I heard the voices
of them.
'Where do we go?' I asked Sirius and he looked forward for a second and took off.
'Follow me!' He said sharply and I ran after him. We arrived infront of several apartment buildings. Sirius transformed and looked at me.
"Think 'number twelve grimmauld place' alright?" So I did, moments later number twelve appeared inbetween numbers eleven and thirteen.
"Inside. Quickly." He said and we hurried inside the building. He closed the door and I sighed. I felt the Malfoy family walk by in confusion before apperating. "That was to close for comfort."
"Yeah. I remember them, they used to visit dad in his chambers. I think dad was the boy's godfather." I said and he chuckled.
"FILTHY BLOOD-TRAITOR! HOW DARE YOU DEFILE THIS HOUSE ONCE MORE!"
"Damn, her portrait is still active." Sirius said and I giggled slightly
"Let me." I said and disappeared up the stairs to the screaming portrait. "Hello."
"Who are you?"
"My name is Siria. My dad thought it was a good name, can I show you something?"
"Of course child." I showed her the family tree and she blinked.
"A prince and a Black. They said it would never happen. TAKE THAT PHINEAS!" She screeched and I laughed softly as I rolled it up and put it back in my pocket.
"Shhhh." I whispered and the woman nodded knowingly. "He doesn't know yet, father has some explaining to do to both of us."
"Kreacher." The woman said and a pop came seconds after and a house elf appeared beside me.
"Yes, mistress?"
"Listen to Sirius and this child, they have right to be here."
"But mistress said..."
"Will you disobey your mistress now? After all these years?"
"No mistress, Kreacher listen, Kreacher will do as you say."
"Good Kreacher. You are a very good elf."
"Thank you, mistress, thank you." The elf bowed and left to greet Sirius. I smiled to the woman who gestured for me to go to Sirius. I did and bounded down the stairs and saw Sirius staring in shock as Kreacher bowed and offered to clean the house up.
"That would be much appreciated, Kreacher, could you start on some rooms for us, we might be staying until I go to Hogwarts."
"Of course, young mistress, I will do that now."
"... What... Was that about?"
"She was really nice when she stopped yelling, she told Kreacher to listen to us, I think it works better if you're nicer to the elf so they are nice back. Treat how you wish to be treated."
"That is a very good philosophy, child." A portrait said and I looked, I looked at the plaque, the plaque said 'Phineas Black'.
"Thank you."
"I remember you child, you're Snape's child."
"Yes, sir. I am."
"Now I understand. I must speak with someone, I shall return shortly."
"Alright..."
"Come on, let's see what needs to be cleaned that we can make use of."
"Kay." I said and we looked around the house.
During the time we were in the house or around it Sirius taught me different spells and how to play quidditch. A few days before I was to get on the train, Sirius and I were walking down the street, when we came face to face with father. "F-father..."
"Siria... I told you not to leave the house! The Malfoy family are looking for you now, said they saw you preform wandless magic in the leaky cauldron."
"It wasn't wandless, I had my wand hidden in my sleeve, I swear."
"That's not what it looked like!"
"I'm not the only one who has explaining to do! You do to! Why didn't you tell me? Why didn't you tell me my other parent wasn't dead?"
"Siria..." He trailed off. "It was to dangerous."
"I know that. You still could have said something, but noooo, I had to find out through the goblins."
"Siria! Why did you go to diagon alley?"
"Because, I wanted to know the truth, and why I was never allowed to play games with kids my age... I thought you promised you wouldn't hide things from me... What happened to that promise father? What happened? I thought I could trust you, I thought
'it's gonna be okay, he won't lie to me, he won't hide things anymore'... So why?"
"Siria..." He placed his hand on my shoulder and I shook it off. I stepped back, shaking my head.
"No... I want you to explain this... I won't except anything less... I can't..." I whispered softly.
"Please... At least come home..."
"What home? You're never there? No one is..." I looked him in the eyes for the first time, and he saw the sadness I felt at the fact. "They never are. You won't let me stay with you in Hogwarts and you don't even come home for Christmas. It's just another
night, I just get another book and an apology note."
Sirius growled slightly and father looked at him.
"Sirius... I should have known." He said, his voice almost... Fond.
Sirius looked at him sharply and growled again, he wasn't happy. I was glad I was closer to Sirius now, glad he was there for me to lean on. I placed my hand in his fur near the shoulder and he stepped closer... A fatherly gesture, one that wasn't missed
on me.
"Is there a place that I can explain things? Without being over heard?" Sirius nodded and we led father to number twelve grimmauld place. Father understood as I held a slip of parchment to him. He read it and grimmauld place appeared before us. We went
inside, the parchment had burned after he read it. I sat on the couch and Sirius changed and sat next to me. Father sat across from us and sighed. He began to explain.
~ warning: mention of MPreg~
"It happened before you started spending more time with Lily and James. It had been a month, I never figured out how it was possible, but it was. I passed off the time of my pregnancy as if it was my potions training..."
"That was your excuse as to not see me..."
"Yes. I was confused and I'll begrudgingly admit that I was... Scared. That you would think less of me or hate me. So I hid the fact and the day after Harry was born, Siria was. It was apparent that if anyone found out Siria was our child she would be
in danger. From both sides. The dark lord would use her against both of us, and Dumbledore would have her fight and try to make her give her life for a cause not even I understand." Father said and looked at me. "Siria... I'm sorry I didn't tell you
this, if you knew and Dumbledore or the dark lord found you, we'd both be in trouble. I never wanted you to be a part of this war, I still don't, you're to precious to me."
"Why keep me in the dark? You still could have said something to me after, but, you acted as if you hated me..."
"I never wanted either of you in this war, Dumbledore dragged you, Lily, James, Remus and Pettigrew into this, I tried to get you out."
"And leave you as clear prey to the bastards? Like hell if I let that happen!"
"I knew this would be how you'd react. It just the way you are, always so protective... Always so... Griffindor-ish."
~warning ended~
Sirius chuckled and I smiled.
"I can see I passed that trait along." Father sighed, but gave a slight chuckle. "Somewhat you did, mostly she thinks things through."
"I get him back for leaving me alone during the school year."
"Creatively, sadly, she gained your love of pranks."
"Yes!" Daddy said and we high fived.
"Be serious!"
"I am Sirius." He said and I giggled.
"Sirius!" Father said and I laughed harder with daddy. Father gave up and knew for a fact that daddy would teach me the not so subtle art of pranking. Well, he had already started, not that father knew this fact. Father sighed again. "I give up. I can
already tell you're both going to Hogwarts, and there's nothing I can do about it."
"Nope. Not a thing."
Father sighed and I smiled sweetly. "Lighten on the pranks, at least on me."
"Can't promise anything for the other snakes." I said and father dropped his head into his hands. "At least it won't be you anymore. It's not like people will figure out what's me and what's the twins you told me about."
"You have a point. They'd only know if I said something and then there would be one hundred questions to answer, questions I'd rather avoid." Father said.
Father was allowed to stay, Kreacher set up a room and father retired for the night. He left after breakfast though. He had to prepare for the year. Daddy taught me all about the marauders and the pranks they pulled. I learned quickly.
