Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter. Still. Damn it.

They think I'm dead. The Death Eaters got me, that's what they say. They're wrong. I'm alive; which is much more than anybody else still bearing my family name can. I suppose there is Cissy and Andie but they are both married now, with children. Well Cissy has, Andie's girl died. Tonks I believe. How much she looked like Bella. It was almost sad seeing the Black family torn apart: Andie and Sirius versus Bella, Cissy and I. So much has changed since the day Sirius left us. Bella killed him and now both Bella and Sirius lie in the ground along with Bella's husband and many of my old friends. I saw Bella killing Sirius. Odd really, when so many thought that they would marry one day. I knew better. The shining stars of the Black house were too different. There was too much ambition and passion in that relationship. They were destined to hate each other. I loved my cousins more than I ever loved my brother. I followed the Dark Lord for them. Sirius and I could not agree jealousy on my part mainly but I would never have told him. He did not even recognise my animagus form in Harry's third year. I knew him and that pitiful Pettigrew at once. I have seen and done so much, I think my mistress can tell. She's clever like Bella was, like Andie is. I see Andie sometimes and I wonder if I should reveal myself to her. I don't think she'd accept me now though, despite the fact I helped bring about my own Lord's demise. I've seen Cissy's son to. He's good looking like Lucius was at his age. Funny that their relationship has lasted longer than anybody's; when they are both so cool on the outside like the ice in their eyes. Not like Bella and Rodolphus were. There was true fire in that relationship. The one I loved has long gone now. That was the one thing Sirius and I agreed on, Annie Johnson was hot. She's probably married now, or worse.

I'm dying; at least I think I am. It's the same thing really. It is time for me to go but I have to make amends first. I have to reveal myself to Andie and Cissy but first to Hermione. Hermione rescued me on that day she took me from the shop. Nobody else would take the ginger cat with the funny face. I'll miss Hermione; she's a lot like Bella really. Both were stubborn and fiery but beautiful to. Maybe I'll tell her that, maybe she'll understand, maybe they all will. I had to survive. I had to have the Blacks remembered for something other than death and purity.

I can hear them coming now. I'd better transform. I wonder if I'll look different, both Bella and Sirius did. I think I'd better freshen up a bit before I reveal myself. Yes, I think it is time to visit an old friend. I wonder if Kreacher has missed his master.
