A Long Lost road
A Harry Potter Fanfiction
A.n. So this is my first Harry Potter fanfiction, so go easy on me. It is about the long and so far lost road to love between Sirius Black and my oc, and, Remus Lupin and Nymphadora Tonks. It will begin right in the middle between GoF and OotP, about a month or two after Tonks enters the Order. Some scenes will be changed, like when Siruis dies (obviously because otherwise the story would have no point) and when tonks and Lupin die. It will be written in my oc's point of veiw, you will figure out her name in a minute.I would also like to note that I am Canadian and have no idea how to speak british and may on occasion use canadian slang by mistake. If you need me to explain it just send me a review. Longest authors note in history ends...now!
Disclaimer: last time I checked JKR was british not Canadian, Last time I checked I was not JKR

"Are you sure about this Tonks?" I asked my pink-haired companion as we walked towards a mysterious group that Tonks couldn't speak of in public. According to her anyways. She shot me a sideways glance and rolled her eyes at me lightly while making her hair turn a normal looking black to resemble my father.
"Were you sure when I asked you to be my guinea pig for my experiments all those years ago?" She asked in response in the gruffest voice she could pull of and frowning down her nose in a way that reminded me a little too much of my Dad.
"Yes." I replied and she nodded and just stopped me suddenly. I looked around and raised my eyebrows to the fact that there was no Number twelve Grimmauld Place, while Tonks dug around in her pockets for something while muttering to herself under her breath. She finally pulled something out with a look of triumph on her face as she handed it to me. It said the secret headquarters for the Order of the Phoenix can be found at Number twelve Grimmauld Place. I read it over once and had it memorized almost instantly, thanks to my parents' training on memory.
"Got it memorized yet?" She asked tipping her head to the left, when I nodded she said "Good now think of what you just memorized." By now I had caught on, Fidelus charm, as I watched eleven and thirteen slide away from each other and a house magically appear in the middle. I walked forwards towards it with Tonks following shortly behind me. I stopped just before I was about to open the door when I began doubting myself.
"should I be afraid? I mean no one here knows who I am or anything. Do I have to worry?" I asked quietly. The corner of Tonks mouth slung up in a half quirk sort of thing.
"You have nothing to be afraid of. The same things ran through my mind when I first started, but eventually they turned out to be my family. They are going to love you." She answered with absolute certainty
"And just why are they going to love me?" I asked
"Well you kind of balance me out a little bit." She shot back while reaching around me to open the door. There was no escape now. As we walked in she made sure to shut the door quietly, I shot her a questioning look and she pointed to the covered up painting on the wall just beyond the door. I looked at her again and she mouthed I'll explain later at me. I slid past the painting silently and then took a good look around while walking, the house was musty and dark and there weren't many accessories to make it feel homey. Tonks walked around me and, after we were a safe distance from the painting called out.
"We're here." Short, simple, to the point, now that's my Tonks. An older scruffier looking man with worn out robes poked his head around the corner.
"Hello Tonks. Who is this?" He replied sending her a smile and gesturing towards me. She opened her mouth to speak when another man stuck his head around the corner. He was also older, much older, but he was missing an eye and had a fake one in that kept whizzing around every time someone moved. Tonks smiled at him while he frowned skimming me up and down as if sizing me up.
"Who is this?" He demanded a little more forcefully than the other man had. So much for not having to be afraid.
"This is the Order recruit I told you about, remember Moody?" She answered. He grunted in answer before he spoke again.
"She did not look like this in the photo you showed me. Are you sure its her? Remember constant vigilance." He barked out at her and I sent her a look. Great which picture could she have possibly shown him. She turned towards me.
"The picture I showed him was taken three months ago at Janice's wedding." She said. I nodded and smiled and tossed my head to one side as if I were flicking hair out of my face. When I was done My hair was a bright flame red, not unlike the woman's who had come to stand beside the man they called "Moody". The Moody fellow grunted again and nodded.
"Meetings starting now. We can have Introductions then alright." He said and clunked off to the dining room. Remaining quiet I followed Tonks and sat In the seat beside her. I gazed around the table, there was a wide assortment of witches and wizards who were all looking at me with some amount of interest, I blushed and ducked my head down to look at the table. After getting a nod of what seemed to be yes from "Moody", Tonks stood up and cleared her throat.
"Everyone this is Callista Heartnet. She's the recruit I mentioned last meeting."Tonks said in a clear voice. "Any questions?"
"Do I get to learn their names?" I hissed at Tonks, while glancing around still wondering who the hell all these people were. She sent me a smile of innocence.
"Right. Calli This is, Alastor Moody, Remus Lupin, Arthur and Molly Weasely, Kingsley Shacklebolt, Mundungus Fletcher and um.." She announced going around the table but stopping at the man who was sitting exactly to my right. I looked at the haggard man and then back at her.
"Calli, meet Sirius Black, my cousin." she finished hesitantly, biting her lip in worry. I felt very odd as everyone watched me as if trying to gauge my reaction.
"Very nice to meet you. Tonks hasn't ever mentioned you so I'm not sure who you are exactly and why everyone looks so worried." I blurted out because I was nervous. He had a very shocked look upon his face when I stuck my hand out at him. Arthur Weasley's mouth dropped open in shock.
"You don't know who Sirius Black is?" He gaped out. I felt fear creep into my eyes and my hair grow a bright pink, not unlike Tonks', because I was nervous.
"Should I?" I asked back. Moody stood up and banged his walking stick on the table when everyone started chattering at once. Immediately everyone payed attention and sat a little straighter in their chairs.
"Introductions are over. Now lets begin. As you have all realized, we have a new member. Miss Heartnet will be joining the Auror department in the Ministry. She will assist Tonks and Kingsley in the spy work that they have already started. In case you also haven't noticed she is also a metamorphagus, but her powers are less strong than Tonks'. I would prefer it if she had a partner for her first few missions and Tonks has volunteered to show her the ropes. Any objections? Good. Kingsley, any news from the Ministry?" Moody explained and then turned to the bald black man sitting just across the table from Tonks. He frowned lightly and then shook his head.
"Nothing to entirely important. Fudge is still furiously denying the overwhelming evidence that He is back. The Prophet is all lies because the Ministry is handing it money along with stories. Not much else." He answered. I got confused because, A; I had no idea who Fudge was and B; I wasn't sure what the Prophet was. Everyone else was nodding so I followed suit and scolded myself for being out of the wizarding world for so long. It was not helping my position.
"If no one has anything else they would like to add then we will dismiss for today until next meeting. Good." He finished gruffly, and clunked off towards the front door. Molly Weasely stuck her head out of a door just to the left of things.
"Oh good the meetings done. And with perfect timing as well, dinners ready everyone." She said and waved her wand around to clear all the papers from the meeting off of the table. Everyone instantly stood up and headed to the kitchen, where there was enough food in there to feed an army. We loaded up our plates and all tramped back into the dining room. I sat beside Tonks again and began to eat as she struck up a conversation with that Lupin fellow. Sirius Black came to sit beside me and looked at me with an expression of curiosity on his face.
"Yes?" I asked shifting my chair slightly so I was angled towards him. He mirrored my actions.
"Is it true? I mean do you really not know who I am?" He queried in response. He seemed genuinely interested so I took a deep breath and shook my head.
"No. Of course I also have no idea who this Fudge character is or what the prophet is exactly. Why are you some famous wizard?" I answered and tipped my head to one side while waiting for an answer from him. He leaned forward and dropped his voice down.
"I'm a murderer." He replied.
