So this story has a semi-dark beginning but then it's a little better. I'm actually kind of proud of this fanfic, well what I have so far, and I hope you all like it. The song is Sweet Sacrifice by Evanescence!

A Spirit Found
Chapter One
"Shut up down there!" He banged on the basement door and the singing silenced.
Vernon Dursley grunted and lumbered into the living room for a glass of scotch. He eventually fell asleep in front of the telly and didn't hear the front door open. Kingsley Shacklebolt looked at the other man with him and they quietly entered the home. Remus Lupin started searching the house as Kingsley cast a spell on Vernon so he wouldn't wake up for a while. Remus came back after searching the house with a worried look.
"I don't see her."
"Well maybe sh-"
"Do you hear that?" Remus said and held up a finger. That's when they heard it, soft singing.
"It's coming from over there." Kingsley said in his baritone voice and they quickly headed to the basement door. Remus took out his wand and unlocked the door.
"Lumos." He whispered and a light appeared at the tip of his wand. The slowly walked down the stairs and the singing was heard even more.
It's true, we're all a little, insane
But it's so clear now that I'm, unchained
Fear is only in our minds
Taking over all the time
Fear is only in our minds
But it's, taking over all the time
They wrinkled their noses at the smell as they searched for the haunting voice. That's when the light hit the cot. A girl was lying on it. She was in a torn up dirty shirt and ratty cotton shorts. Her black hair was matted and her body was covered in dirt, cuts, and blood. Her face was hallow and they noticed that her left wrist was chained to the pipe. She was staring up at the ceiling and singing.
It's true, we're all a little, insane
But it's so clear now that I'm, unchained
Fear is only in our minds
Taking over all the time
Fear is only in our minds
But it's, taking over all the time
"Camellia?" Remus whispered but she didn't seem to hear.
It's true, we're all a little, insane
But it's so clear now that I'm, unchained
"Camellia?" Kingsley's voice seemed to penetrate through her and she looked over slowly. Remus was almost sick by the sight. It seemed her mouth had been sewn shut and then the stiches taken out because the skin around her lips were full of holes. The whole left side of her face was burned and one eye was almost swollen shut. "Do you know who we are?"
Fear is only in our minds
Taking over all the time
Fear is only in our minds
But it's, taking over all the time
She looked back up and kept singing causing Remus to look at Kingsley worriedly. He sighed and cast a sleeping charm on her.
It's true, we're all a little, insane
But it's so clear now that I'm, unchained

Girl-who-was-tortured?
Just last week Auror Kingsley Shacklebolt was sent to Surrey where the home of fifteen year old Camellia Potter resided. What was found was a chilling predicament as it seems Vernon Dursley, Camellia's Uncle, had kept the girl chained in the basement and tortured her every day. After being put under Veritiserum, Vernon Dursley admitted that when his wife and son died in a car crash he blamed Camellia and decided to give what, in his words, she deserved.
"It is a disturbing thing to think of such a thing happening to such an innocent person by a family member." Madam Bones of the DMLE said in an interview. "If it wasn't for Auror Shacklebolt and Remus Lupins quick action after an anonymous tip, we may have lost Camellia."
Albus Dumbledore has denied any statements from Camellia as she is not in the right condition to relive what has happened. She is currently at St. Mungos under tight security with no visitors allowed. We at The Daily Prophet hope she recovers quickly.
To read about Vernon Dursleys punishment turn to page 8.
Sirius Black sighed as he read The Daily Prophet. She was definitely in no condition to relive because all she did when she was awake was sing the same song over and over again. He wanted to murder Dursley but he couldn't so he would have to live with the knowledge that they sent a muggle to Azkaban for the first time. He deserved it, everyone thought so.
Camellia wasn't actually in St. Mungos. She was in Grimmuald Place with him and the Weasleys and Hermione. She wasn't safe anywhere but there, especially after Hermione explained how that vile reporter, Rita Skeeter, could turn into a bug and spy. He set the paper down after reading the article for a third time and decided to see how Camellia was doing.
Sirius traveled up the stairs and went into her room to see her sitting up.
It's true, we're all a little, insane
But it's so clear now that I'm, unchained
"Camellia?" She looked over and he still felt sick by the sight of how mangled her face was. When she had been burned was now red scars and the holes around her lips were still there.
Fear is only in our minds
Taking over all the time
Fear is only in our minds
But it's, taking over all the time
"I just came to check on you. Do you want some food?" She had to be fed but she ate at least.
Fear is only in our minds
Taking over all the time
Fear is only in our minds
But it's, taking over all the time
He sighed and went to leave when he heard something.
"George."
He spun around to see Camellia looking at him with a canted head.
"What?"
"George."
"No, it's me, Sirius." She frowned and he suddenly understood. "You want me to bring George?"
"George."
"Yeah, okay, I'll be right back." Sirius felt a rush of giddiness that she had finally spoken. Even if it had been one word and just someone's name, it meant she was starting to communicate.
George Weasley seemed the most upset besides Sirius about what happened to Camellia. If Sirius didn't know better, he'd say that George liked Camellia. Sirius had taken a liking to George and his twin, Fred, because they reminded him of he and James at that age so he wasn't upset by the fact that George had a crush on Camellia or the fact the first actual word that wasn't a song said was the boy's name.
He found George sitting with his siblings and Hermione Granger in Ron's room. They looked up when he entered.
"What's wrong, Sirius?"
"George, come with me."
"Why?"
Sirius took a deep breath. "Because Camellia asked for you."
