Hello!

This is my first Harry Potter fic and I am super nervous but I hope you all like it!

Little things you should know before continuing:

English is not my first language so there might be some spelling mistakes and such, I apologize.

Hopefully I will be posting once a week at least, but I expect at least one review so I can post the next chapter. I am not fishing for compliments, just hoping to read your honest opinion.

This fic is very special to me because I plan on writing a Cara Black story for all the Harry Potter books!

I should end saying that I do not own Harry Potter but I do own my originals character Cara, Elliot, Lance, Reena and Sabina.

I hope you enjoy! ^_^

My name is Cara Black and this is my story.

In the Black family there were four children, Sirius, Regulus, Eudora and Lenora.

Sirius Black was the black sheep, being the one that end it up on Gryffindor; was always getting into trouble in his school days and didn't have much contact with his brother that he considered a spoiled stupid brat; he had more contact with Lenora that end it up in Ravenclaw but even so, not that much of a contact since he enjoyed getting into trouble and messing around unlike Lenora that liked studying and kept to herself; he was very close to his sister Eudora until they went to Hogwarts, but as years went by their relationship became nonexistent, not that Eudora had a problem with Sirius, he was the one that had a problem because he didn't like the fact that she was in Slytherin and the crowd she hanged out with. After Sirius left Hogwarts he kept distance from his family, never spoke to his brother Regulus again, exchanged some letters with Lenora along the years but nothing much, and kept his distance from his sister Eudora that became a Death Eater like his brother Regulus.

Regulus Black was to his mother everything that his brother was not. He was a Slytherin, the Quidditch Team Captain, had good grades and didn't get into trouble and seemed to be on the path to become a Death Eater, something that he became years later. He had contact with Lenora and they were really close, they always confided in each other and it was like that until he died. He saw Eudora the most since they were both Death Eaters and they were always there for each other although not as close as he was with Lenora. But I know something no one else knows, something that was written in one of Lenora's diaries, that he, although still believed that purebloods were superiors, was having his doubts regarding the Dark Lord methods. I don't believe he actually did anything about it since he died soon after, no one knows how or why but it seems like the Dark Lord didn't kill him, which makes me believe that although he was starting to have some doubts he stayed on the Dark Lord's side and end it up being killed somewhere by one of the Dark Lord's enemies.

Lenora Black was Eudora fraternal twin sister. Lenora was three minutes older; and they were the middle children, being one year younger than Sirius and one older than Regulus. Lenora had a brown hair and blue eyes, white skin, and looked a lot like Sirius; while Eudora had a long black hair with loose curls and silver eyes, white creamy skin and a smile said to melt even the coldest heart. Lenora and Eudora had always been very close and that didn't change as the years passed. Lenora had the same believes as her family but was not attracted to the Dark Arts and preferred to simply live her life, instead of trying to start a revolution as a Death Eater serving the Dark Lord. She met the love of her life sometime after she graduated from Hogwarts… she was working for the Ministry of Magic in the Department of International Magical Cooperation in the division 'International Confederation of Wizards' and end it up meeting Roderick Holmes, an American pureblood, and sometime later they became engaged. She died giving birth to her son Elliot Holmes, six months after getting married.

Eudora Black was born with a fatal and incurable disease called Exitiabilis Anima, no one really knew when she would die, it could be when she was 2, or 8, or 15, or 40, or even 80 years old. Every wizard or witch born with this would die at some point of the disease; no one knew how to determine when it would be, so they should live as if they would die the next day because they actually could. This disease is tricky, you would be completely fine until three exact hours before your time of death and that would be when you would lose your strength and have high fever until you died. I read in my mother's diaries that my father kept on trying to find a cure for Exitiabilis Anima, sadly he didn't find one. Eudora was a cheerful person, really smart and powerful, also extremely beautiful. She was very good friends with Severus Snape, and adored her second degree cousin Narcisa; she hated her second degree cousin Bellatrix and the feeling was mutual. And months before she died, she had me, her daughter that she loved, and also helped Roderick take care of Elliot after the passing away of her sister Lenora. She was engaged to my father when she died.

So this is my family, the Black family. My mother Eudora died, my Aunt Lenora died, my Uncle Regulus died and my Uncle Sirius is in Azkaban. I had no contact what so ever with my "Aunts" Narcisa, Bellatrix and Andromeda or know anything about them except that they are all alive and Bellatrix is in Azkaban.

After my mother died, my father asked Uncle Roderick to take me with him to America, it wasn't supposed to be for long, just for a little while until Great Britain was safer for me to return, but my father died two weeks after Uncle Roderick took me away, so Uncle Roderick thought it was better to stay in America and keep my name in my mother's last name instead of my father's last name in order for me to be safer.

I am eleven years old now and Uncle Roderick wants me to attend school here in America. I want to go to Hogwarts like my parents once did.

I love Uncle Roderick; he took great care of me, kept his late wife diaries and my mother's diaries for me and my cousin Elliot to read when we wanted. He never kept a secret from me or Elliot; always told us the truth, even if that meant telling us about Death Eaters and Lord Voldemort. But Uncle Roderick still wants to keep us shielded so he doesn't want to contact Hogwarts so we can go there. But I have a plan.

I look at the door of my bedroom that is closed, hoping it will open up soon and reveal Elliot.

Elliot is my cousin and I adore him. We were raised like brother and sister and are very attached to each other. He has a brown straight hair and a white skin like his mother had but instead of her blue eyes, he has amber eyes like his father. I am like my mother, with silver eyes, long black hair with loose curls and a white creamy skin; I am exactly like she was and that makes me happy although I do like the fact that I have my father's lips because it is nice to have something from him too.

"Everything is clear…" He says looking a bit bored while walking in. "Lance, Reena and Sabina should be here any second now..."

I smile at that.

Lance King is one of my closest friends, his family is a very old and aristocratic pureblood family; he is English like me and Elliot. He moved to the US when he was six years old and that's when we met, he is going to attend Hogwarts like his father and mother once did. His skin is white and he hates the sun here in the US, always angry that like me, Elliot, Reena and Sabina, he has to take lots of care because of that; his hair is blonde and straight, and he has beautiful hazel eyes. He introduced me and Elliot to Reena and Sabina, his twin cousins that are also English although their father is French.

Reena and Sabina Anson are two of my closest friends. They are twins, identical twins, same green eyes, same white skin and same blonde hair; the way to tell them apart if you don't know them very well is simple, Reena has a long straight blonde hair while Sabina has a shoulder level straight blonde hair. Is quite simple actually, Reena has long hair and Sabina short hair. But their physical similarities are as far as they go, because their personalities are a lot different. They are also going to attend Hogwarts.

"We are here!" I hear Lance shout and Elliot and I run to greet them.

They are waiting for us in the living room.

"Is everything in place?" Says Reena smiling while enjoying a chocolate frog.

"Yup!" I say excited.

"Cara, are you sure this is a good idea?" Says Sabina serious.

"Of course Sabina! It's not like I made this portkey, because that would be dangerous! This one is completely safe!" I say smiling reassuring.

"Yeah, you just stole from dad a perfect portkey." Elliot says taking a bite and finishing the chocolate frog that Reena gave to him.

"Are we going or not?" Lance asked annoyed.

"Yeah we are!" I said smiling. "You did get the information, right Reena?"

"Yup! I did as Elliot asked!" She said smiling.

"Perfect! Everyone ready?" I ask smiling and they nod.

"Britain here we go!" Lance says smiling before I activate the portkey.

I close my eyes waiting for it to be over when I finally hear Reena shouting.

"WE ARE HERE! LET GO IN 1, 2, 3, NOW!" She says and we all let go.

BUM! BUM! BUM! BUM! BUM! We make when we hit the ground.

"Ow!" I say sitting up. "Do you think anyone saw us falling?"

"I don't think so..." Sabina says offering me a hand to help me up and I smile thanking.

I look around me, Lance and Elliot are already up but Reena is still on the ground.

"Reena are you alright?" Elliot asks offering a hand.

"Yeah… I just lost a chocolate frog during the fall…" She says sadly and I smile glad that she is alright although her judgment worries me a bit.

"We should get going! And pray for him to be home… I just don't get why we came here instead of going to Hogsmead and trying to get into Hogwarts from there…" Lance says starting to walk.

"Because there is no possible way for us to break into Hogwarts! And there might not be anyone there, while coming here there are more chances of success! Besides, he was friends with my mom so hopefully he will help us because of that!" I say explaining for the hundredth time.

We walk in silence with our black capes on, including the hood to cover our faces just in case anyone saw us fall.

"This is the place." Reena tells us when we stop in front of the door. "Who knocks?"

"I should do it…" I say and I take one step forward and knock on the door.

We hear some movement inside and a few seconds later a man shows up at the door looking angry, curious and bored all at the same time.

"What do you want?" He says serious.

"I… We… Want your help." I say.

"And why would I help you?" He says annoyed.

"Hopefully because you knew my mother." I say and I lower the hood revealing my face, while the others do the same.

He pales at that instant. He looks at me like he is seeing a ghost but soon his eyes narrow and his face becomes emotionless.

"Get in! All of you! Now!" He says and we obey.

He signs us to sit while he does the same.

"I'm Cara Black, this is my cousin Elliot Holmes, and my friends Lance King, Reena and Sabina Anson." I say making the introductions.

His eyes lay on Elliot for more seconds than in the others but soon his eyes come back to stare at me.

"I imagine you all know my name since you are at my house." He says serious.

"Yes! You are Professor Severus Snape, a potions master that teaches at Hogwarts. Also… You were friends with my mom while in school and after too." I say.

"And how do you know all that?" He asks curious.

"I know you are a professor at Hogwarts because I read about the school, but I know you were friends with my mom because Uncle Roderick saved my mother's diaries and also my Aunt Lenora's diaries. So, I know everything. My cousin and my friends know too. I trusted them because they proved they could be trusted, they are my closest friends and that's why they are helping me with this plan." I say and I can see the flicker of understanding when I said I knew everything but his face returns to blank so quickly that almost makes me wonder if I really saw it in the first place.

"And what would this plan be?" He says serious.

"Get all the information on how to get here, steal my uncle's portkey, use the portkey without him knowing to come from the United States to your house, if you are not home, wait, and if you are talk to you because we need someone to take us to see Professor Dumbledore so that my cousin and I can attend Hogwarts, something that my uncle doesn't want." I say explaining breaking his perfect placed expressionless face.

"You WHAT?!" He says standing up.

"The landing was a bit off though!" Lance says smirking and I glare at him.

"Are you really telling me that 5 eleven year olds stole a portkey and used to go to another continent and then come to my house?!" He says in a voice that I am sure is used to afflict fear in many.

"You are correct, and my plan was much better than Lance's plan, he wanted us to go to Hogsmead and then try to break into Hogwarts! It was so unrealistic." I say making him and Lance annoyed. "Now… Could you take us to Hogwarts to see Professor Dumbledore? The school year will begin soon and we still have to go buy everything, and also, of course, get grounded."

He stares at for about two minutes and then nods.

"Let's go. We will use my fireplace, I imagine you kids know how to use it properly since you already know how use a portkey." He says serious and walks towards his fireplace and says. "Office of the Headmaster of Hogwarts."

"So charismatic and kind…" Elliot says making us all laugh.

"Hogwarts here we come!" I say smiling.
