Prologue
Every person in the world takes something for granted, whether it's a family, a home, money, or something as simple as a smile. Nobody has everything, but everyone has something at one time or another. Some things that are taken for granted aren't appreciated for what they really are, or aren't appreciated until they're gone. But there are few people who appreciate things while they have them, and even fewer people who have nothing to appreciate.
A person named Kira is one of those very few people. She knows she used to have something, but all she can remember is being alone and empty. The only thing that hurts more than having nothing is having nothing and being told repeatedly that you have nothing, and always will. Kira was told this everyday as long as she can remember; until she was found by a man named Sirius Black.
When Kira was abandoned by the torture-some people that had destroyed her life, she was found by Black, and saved. It is unknown to most people that Sirius had another acquaintance aside from the dementors that had haunted his dreams and the kind people in the Order of the Phoenix. The only others that knew Kira were Albus Dumbledore, Mad-Eye Moody, Jesse Ravenna, and Tonks.
Kira trusted all of them, and appreciated everything they did for her; from giving her a home and food, to being something like friends. Kira trusted Sirius the most; he was like the kind of person Kira had dreamt of meeting during her fourteen years in her horrible cage of a life. She would tell Sirius anything, and she trusted him with her life. The one thing Kira didn't like about Sirius was that he was known to take chances.
There was one chance Sirius took that Kira knew he shouldn't. His godson had run off and was being followed by the evil dark lord known as Voldemort, or more commonly, You-Know-Who. His godson had no parents because they were killed by Voldemort, but the boy, at one year of age, managed to somehow defeat the dark lord. This boy was famous to the entire wizarding world, but known to nobody in the human world, the world of muggles. To the wizards, the boy with a scar on his forehead had killed You-Know-Who and wherever he went, his name was always whispered: Harry Potter.
When Sirius had heard that Harry was being followed by Voldemort, he took immediate action to go after him. Mad-Eye, Dumbledore, and Tonks also went with him. Kira had begged Sirius to stay behind with her, to not put himself in danger. All he did was tell Jesse to stay there and keep an eye on her. Kira went angrily away from Sirius and went into her room, where she would stay until he returned home. In some ways, she has never left that room, not entirely. She is still waiting for Sirius to come home, although she knows, in her heart, that he'll never come home again.
