Soooo!!! Shes Back my OC Claire Black...lol So here goes
Larger Summary: Claire is almost 16 and she knows now more than ever who she loves and wants to be with, but the problem is that Voldemort has a hold on him. Cedric became a Deatheater in the final chapter of My Family and Claire felt hurt and betrayed by him. The only problem was that in My Love she discovered that he was infact being controlled by Voldemort and now she wants to find him and help. Yet there always seems to be something or someone who'll distract her from what she wants. Another note Remus has left to go underground and convince the Werewolves to join the fight for peace in the wizarding world. And her Great-Grandfather Albus is taking time to spent with Harry to help him defeate the Darklord. In My Wish Claire is ready to sacrifice her happiness for her brother and is ready to help Harry in what ever he has to do.
It was night time but because of summer it took longer for the fiery ball to set from the sky.
Claire Black took the blue pencil crayon and traced the out side of the star she drew; twenty or so other tiny little stars littered the table beside her. The house was very quiet Regulus had gone to sleep and Claire had finished cleaning, she felt like a mother. Yet Regulus wasn't her son her mother died when she was thirteen shortly after giving birth to her brother. It was a dark day for Claire but she still had her father who was there up until his death the week before school ended.
Remus the man her mother had relied on to take care of them was sent underground to talk to the were-wolves that left Claire alone with her brother. Yet oddly enough it did not bother her there was and endless array of people to come over and see if they were still alive. Claire was almost six-teen she was perfectly capable, besides he would go stay with her Aunt Greta and Uncle James for the school year.
Regulus loved Helen so they would all get along, Helen was his cousin and he seemed like he was a bit over protective of her. But no one minded, Harry was Helen's brother but he was much older and Harry was fighting is own fight with Voldemort.
The knock sent Claire out of her thoughts she placed the pencil crayon on the table and stood up walking to the door.
She smiled when she saw Harry standing there she ran forward and hugged him.
"Hey are you okay?" Harry said wrapping his arms around her.
"I was just feeling a little lonely that's all." Claire said pulling back a bit.
"Are you busy?" Harry asked.
"No come in you cane help me?" Claire said taking his hand and leading him to the table.
"What is this you're making?" Harry asked
"Stars, for my game with Regulus." Claire said.
"And what is this game called?" Harry asked picking up a green and yellow star.
"Catching stars, its simple you swing on the swing as high as you can go and try to catch a star hanging from the tree branches." Claire explained picking up all the stars. "Come I'll show you."
They went out into the yard and walked over to the old oak tree they had kissed under the previous summer and Claire spread the stars out under the tree then waved her wand they all fluttered to the branches and hung on colored strings.
"This is beautiful." Harry said staring up into the crisscrossed branches.
"Here watch." Claire sat down in the swing and pumped her legs to reach for the stars. When she was high enough she reached out and snagged one and stopped the swing.
"Then you keep it forever because it's your star you caught." Claire said smiling at him.
Harry stared at her then looked to the ground, "You're so creative you know."
"Thank you Harry, are you okay?" Claire asked walking over to him.
"I'm fine…I just I really miss you sometimes." Harry said looking at her.
"I really can't pretend Harry it would be wrong of me to do that to you, I do care for you but you are my best friend." Claire said.
"I know I suppose I could be happy with that couldn't I?" Harry said.
"You could it's your choice if that makes you unhappy." Claire said.
Harry nodded then Claire heard crying coming from the house she ran and Harry followed after her.
"Regulus?" Claire said coming into his bedroom.
"Where's daddy?" He whined as Claire wrapped her arms around him.
"I told you Regulus he went to be with mommy he's okay don't worry." Claire said soothing him.
When Claire finally got Regulus back to sleep she came down and sat with Harry on the couch.
"Do you like being alone here with your brother?" He asked.
"Yes I do…I can tell you're happy with your family now, Helen is beautiful you must be over the moon." Claire said.
"Helen is a sweet baby she's looking a lot like Greta except the brown eyes though gets that from my dad and his nose too." He said.
Claire laughed, "Helen and I must look alike our mothers were twins after all."
"That true I still fear though for my family, Voldemort will be after them I know it." Harry said.
Claire rested her chin on his shoulder, "Chin up Potter Voldemort cannot touch us or any one you love he's already digging himself a grave."
"True… I have to go are you going to be okay?" Harry asked.
"I'll be fine you go home our O.W.L results should be coming soon." Claire said.
"That's right I totally forgot right well I'll see you tomorrow." Harry said as he ran out the door to his home.
The next day Claire was up early cleaning, cooking, and anything else the house needed she was not looking forward to the dusty mess that would greet her when she came back from Hogwarts this Christmas. Claire hardly noticed the tawny owl in the window till she cleaned the breakfast dishes. She wiped he hands on a towel and accepted the think letter and sat down for the first time that day.
Her hands shook as she tore open the letter there was a supply list and a shiny captain's badge.
"I've been made captain of the team…oh my gosh!" Claire smiled happily. She then pulled out the marks for her O.W.L's and was even more ecstatic:

There was a knock on the door and to her surprise it wasn't Harry but Ron and Hermione.
"Well how did you all do?" Claire asked letting them in.
"Seven O.W.L's!" Ron said proudly.
"I got ten." Hermione said sitting down."
"Nine over here, I got a T in Divination." Claire said.
"Wow you did worse than me...wish I knew what Harry got." Ron said.
"He should be over soon." Claire said looking out the window.
"Nope he went out with Dumbledore; Greta said it was some mission." Ron said.
"Didn't she know where?" Claire asked as she set cups on the table for their tea.
"Nope it was just something between Harry and Dumbledore." Ron said over the whistle of the kettle.
Regulus came running down the stairs and bounding into the kitchen nearly knocking Claire over.
"Regulus walk you almost sent hot tea flying on Ronald." Claire said setting down the tea with various cookies and cakes.
"Ohh!" Ron and Regulus said in unison and began taking the treats.
"One at a time Regulus, remember your manners." Claire said.
Hermione looked at Claire in surprise, "Wow Claire you're starting to sound like a mum."
"My mum for that fact." Ron said setting said one of the cookies he took after Claire scolded Regulus.
"Well I have to set a good example for him don't I." Claire said pouring chocolate milk for Regulus.
"You're barely six-teen Claire." Hermione said.
Claire pat Regulus on the head and kissed his cheek, "There's nothing I wouldn't do for him Hermione he's all that I have left of my family, my mother and father are both dead…" Claire said.
Ron reached over and took her hand and stared into her eyes.
"We'll be your family Claire always, mum loves you and dad thinks Regulus is a great kid." Ron said.
"Thank you Ron, really that means a lot." Claire said.
"Hello is any body home?" Came a voice from the door.
"Kara! Oh my how are you?" Claire said hugging her cousin.
"Well in need of a home I've been staying with Fred and George but I could not impose on them any longer…um Claire." Kara started looking at Ron and Hermione in the kitchen.
"We did it." Kara said.
"What you two?? You know." Claire said.
"No…well afterward but Fred and I are married now we went to the ministry and did it…we're telling the Weasley's tonight…I'm Kara Weasley now." Kara said smiling.
"Kara your seventeen years old I can't believe it how did he propose?" Claire asked.
"There will be time later Fred is coming here first…that's okay right?" Kara asked.
"Oh of course come join us after you go pick a room." Claire said.
She went back into the kitchen after Kara went up stairs and sat down.
"Kara is coming over for dinner tonight Fred says he has news." Ron said.
"Humm…" Claire replied.
"Are you going to come…Charlie and Claudia will be there." Ron said.
"I'll be there of course Kara is my cousin she'll need family I am after all the only one who considers her family, like an older sister." Claire said.
Claire stood up and walked to the kitchen window she picked up a saucer and suddenly she felt it a shock of pain rush through her body and she saw his face contracted with pain, and Voldemort stood above him forcing him to the ground. Claire had never felt a pain worse than that it ripped through her body and she didn't even hear the piercing scream that escaped her lungs or the cry of her brother as her body writhed on the ground cut by the glass and porcelain.
"CEDRIC!" she screamed her eyes rolling to the back of her head.
She felt Ron near her but she could not speak it was only his name on her lips and she began to whimper and cradle herself like a child.
"What is it is Claire okay?" she heard Kara at the door.
"Take Regulus upstairs it's Cedric; Voldemort must be doing something to him." Hermione said from some where she did not know where she suddenly felt her self in the cold cellar next to Cedric's bruised and bloody body.
"I love you." She said aloud they heard it and he heard it.
Cedric's eyes opened he moved his fingers inching toward her hand, Claire took it but in reality it was Ron's hand she held, "I love you…" she repeated.
"Don't leave me…" he said weakly.
"I'll find you I will my love." Claire said aloud again but she felt like she was speaking to him.
"Stay with me forever, I cannot live with out you." He said.
"Yes you can because when I find you I'll never want to leave your side." Claire told him.
"Claire?" It was Ron what was he here.
"I love you." Cedric said as her body went back and Claire's eyes opened she sat up and wrapped her arms around Ron's neck.
"He's hurt…and I can't do any thing about it." Claire cried into his shoulder.
"Hey there its okay you'll find him…" Ron said awkwardly rubbing her back.
Hermione put a hand on her shoulder and they sat there like that for a moment…
Draco ripped open his letter from Hogwarts expecting a shiny silver Captains badge to match his Prefect badge but as he removed the contents of the envelope he let out a cry of outrage and crumpled the papers in his hand, "For five years I was on that team and now she comes along and makes captain."
Lucius came into the room the usual brandy snifter in his hand, "What did you expect the girl has talent Draco, but you have her boy toy."
Draco stood up, "Father may I go torture him?"
"You may…" Lucius said in a cool tone.
