Summary; Sirius escapes azkaban and wakes up in the home of callisto marks and her niece Claire
Chapter 1: walk of remembrance
"I hate rain!" Callisto moaned as she stepped onto the front porch of her small cottage.
"Then don't go outside." Claire suggested rather bluntly from the couch where she was reading the latest edition of the daily prophet.
"Claire you know I have to take a walk every evening to get fresh air " Callisto mumbled "remember the last time I didn't, I went nuts!"
"In that case go, but I'm not taking care of you if you get a cold" Claire said waving dismissively to her aunt.
Callisto Marks always marveled at the relationship she shared with her niece.
Claire lived with Callisto since her parents were killed by voldemort 14 years ago, only 3 hours after Claire was born. Her mother Cassandra Marks was Callisto's twin sister they looked alike in every way both had long brown hair that reached to their elbows they both had identical chocolate brown eyes and both were fair complected they were both very close until Cassandra married William Petra, that's when trouble started Cassandra stopped talking to callisto all together. But then Cassandra announced that she was pregnant and communication between the two resumed but it was never the same Cassandra always seemed like she was hiding something a dark secret that she shared with her husband. Then Claire was born on December 11 and when callisto went to see her new born niece she sensed that something was wrong Cassandra wanted a moment alone with her husband so she asked her sister to take her daughter and go into the room adjacent. Next thing Callisto knew there was a bright flash of green light and then the sound of screaming. Callisto didn't go see what happened she knew what happened; her sister, her best friend and the mother of the child she held in her arms was dead. About a month after that terrible December day Callisto couldn't take it any longer, she cut her hair so it was no longer than her chin then she dyed the ends a dark cerulean blue and to top it all off she purchased muggle contacts that made her once chocolate brown eyes appear the same beautifully dark cerulean blue as the tips if her hair. After 14 years Callisto still sported her dark blue hair and eyes though she did leave her hair grow to about shoulder length to hide the star tattoo that she had recently gotten she didn't want Claire getting any ideas.
The freezing air hit Callisto like a brick wall nearly knocking her to the ground
She got up and headed in the direction of her favorite trail that lead into the forest that neighbored her tiny cottage home.
