AN: This is a story by me and one of my friends. We are Harry Potter addicts! I'm not joking! You could be wondering about the title and here's the reason. The reason is Black as in Sirius Black, moon as in Moony as in Remus Lupin and for the Bare-Footed Ninjas, well, you'll have to find out…
Anyway, we don't own anything apart from our craziness. Oh, and the OC's.
Summary: You thought you knew that whole story? Didn't you? Oh, to be young and naive... But that's getting off track. 'Cause the thing is Sirius Black didn't die. Remus Lupin never got together with Tonks and Voldemort used to have a nose! NO! The last bit was a joke. But seriously now in during the time of the Second Wizarding War, there were two unsung heroes. Who managed to capture the hearts of our favourite Marauder members and by doing that managed to change the course if everyone's life.
Harry wandered through his godfathers' house. 12 Grimmald Place. It was still covered with dust no matter how many times Mrs Weasley attempted to clean it. After about 10 minutes of wondering aimlessly through the corridors, and one very unpleasant encounter with Kreacher, Harry Potter (otherwise known as the 'Boy-who-Lived) came to a door. It was a very plain door with absolutely no fantabulous qualities about it apart from the fact it read 'Sirius Orion Black: Blood Traitor'; in fact it looked completely timeless and untouched by anybody for more than... well, ever.
Harry pushed open the door to reveal a small room. It had a large window at the back which let in most of the received light; it was framed by two thick black velvet drapes. There was barely any furniture in the room apart from an old oak desk and cushioned chair, which looked fairly, used, but was now just collecting dust. On top of the desk was a rather large cardboard box, and as Harry approached it he found that it was over-flowing with letters and pictures. But right at the bottom, unseen by Harry, was a small velvet box.
Harry took the first letter from the pile and quickly scanned its' contents, it was for Sirius, from a girl called Anastasia, and as Harry read the conversations that went on between his godfather and this woman he could tell that they were very loving and caring to each other, especially on Sirius' part. He had never seen his godfather think or act like this, Sirius was never one to show too much emotion, just enough to seem human. There was also some more letters, but this time they were for Remus from a girl called Natasha.
Harry picked up the box and carried it out of the room and started making his way towards the kitchen. Hey, he was curious what was he meant to do?
Harry needed to know who these people were and he wouldn't take no for an answer.
Upon reaching the kitchen door Harry kicked it open, swiftly revealing a tired-looking Remus Lupin, the Weasley family and his godfather, Sirius Black.
"Hey Sirius, I was wondering around and I found this box... I was wondering if you could tell me who this girl is?" asked Harry
"Where did you get that box?" asked Sirius in return.
"In your study upstairs" replied Harry.
"I thought I told Kreacher to lock that DOOR!" said Sirius getting angry.
"Calm down Sirius" said Remus, "they're going to come back soon so he was going to find out soon enough anyway"
"I suppose... bring it over here then" Sirius said gesturing to the kitchens table.
Harry hauled the box over to the table and placed in the middle of Remus and Sirius. After seconds of staring at the box, Remus was the first one to react and pulled out a moving photograph of a group of students.
"Who are they?" asked Harry
Remus smiled at the picture.
"That..." he said motioning to four boys "was Sirius, James, Peter and I, otherwise known as the Marauders back then"
"Dad?" Harry asked, Remus only nodded "And what about them" he said pointing to three girls.
"Ah, that" he said pointing to a quite tanned girl with brown hair that had a tint of red in it and was arranged into organised curls, she and Remus had their arms around each other's waists "is Natasha Lupin, my wife and that" he said pointing to a red-head with emerald green eyes who was standing next to James and were looking at each other and then smiled at the camera "was your mum, Lily Evans, back then... seems like so long ago" said Remus off into the distance
"Your wife? You have a wife?" said Harry in disbelief "And that" said Harry pointing to the last girl who was standing in-between Remus and Sirius.
"Ah, yes." Said Remus "That was Anastasia Roseling" she was quite short and had pale skin and big hazel eyes, outlined by black eye-liner and long black lashes. She also had curly dark brown hair, which some of was pinned up at the back giving it a bit of a bee-hive effect. In the picture, looked at Sirius and smiled, but just she was turning away Sirius caught her chin and pulled her into a loving kiss while Remus just laughed and rolled his eyes, he then kissed Natasha on the forehead. When they broke apart, she flushed and bit her bottom lip before holding Sirius' hand and smiling fully at the camera.
"Who is she?" asked Harry to no one in particular.
"They're both your godmothers, Harry" spoke Sirius for the first time, Harry just stood looking speechless.
Mrs Weasley rushed over to their end of the table and took the picture from Remus' hands,
"Natasha Lupin... used-to-be Prewett is my sister" she said smiling softly, her fingers tracing her sibling's and best friends outline, as old memories played through her mind. Remus put a comforting hand on her shoulder, it was a tough time when Anastasia went missing, and she was then eventually declared deceased by the Ministry of Magic. It was an especially hard time for Sirius and Natasha.
"My godmothers?" said Harry
"Yes... she, Lily and Natasha were like sisters" replied Sirius.
As the three of them dug through the box more and more they found old letters that Anastasia and Sirius had exchanged; old Hogsmeade shop receipts and more pictures this time just of Sirius and Anastasia and more of just Remus and Natasha.
The first one was when they were in their 7th year and Sirius and Anastasia were in the Gryffindor common room one night on the sofa (A/N: couch for Americans) in front of the fire and Anastasia was reading a muggle book while leaning against Sirius and had her head on his chest, and Sirius was pretending to read the book while sneaking glances at her.
In one of the pictures of Remus and Natasha, it was a picture taken and unnoticed by the two of them. They were both in the library and Natasha was on her tip-toes trying to reach a book on one of the higher shelves; and then Remus snuck up behind her and got the book down, he then put his arms around her and kissed her cheek.
Meanwhile in Egypt...
"Ohmygod! There's sand! There's actually real sand!" exclaimed Anastasia while picking up a handful and shoving it in front of Natasha's face.
Natasha raised an eyebrow at her friend and slowly moved the hand away from her face. "Of course there's bloody sand, we're in the middle of a friggin' DESERT! And get out of my sun I'm trying to get a tan"
"Yeah, well... I'm English! What do you expect? Sand is a very rare thing for me living the middle of London" Anastasia said with a pout on her lips.
"Yeah, well so do I!" exclaimed Natasha.
"Yeah, with Remus, your husband" said Anastasia in a sing-song voice while elongating his name and the word 'husband'.
"Yeah, well you live with Sirius and I bet you that when we get back he's going to propose!" she said in the same voice.
"Pft, doubt it. This is Sirius Black we're talking about he just doesn't get married!" Anastasia replied
"Yes... but he flippin' worships the ground you walk on! And he really loves you AND you're the longest he has EVER been with a girl" said Natasha
"True...Remus worships the ground you walk on as well! Oh, and is it near you know 'that time' again?" asked Anastasia
"Yeah the full moon is tomorrow" sighed Natasha "How did you know?"
"You always get really cranky and agitated" said Anastasia with a small smile.
Natasha scoffed. "I do NOT"
Anastasia fully smiled now and just nodded "Yes, you do"
"NOT!" argued Natasha
"Whatever you say...!" said Anastasia walking off laughing, she then did a canon-ball into the pool and purposely made sure to splash Natasha.
"I'm going to kill you!" shouted Natasha dripping wet from head-to-toe
"Do you really want to go to Azkaban?" asked Anastasia before quickly diving underneath the water after seeing the look on Natasha's face.
After making sure Anastasia was out of sight, Natasha turned around and broke-down laughing. Of course she wasn't going to kill her... yet...
