1: prologue 3RD PERSON POV
"Please Remus, take care of my little girl." said a very distressed Sirius Black. He had just found out he was suppose to be taken to Azkaban Prison the following morning. He was currently dropping off a 1 year old Katarina Marie Black at her godparents house so she would be safe considering her mother died giving birth to her.
"Don't worry Sirius. She's like a daughter to Tonks and I. She's safe with us." said Remus Lupin, Sirius' childhood friend.
Tonks was holding little Katarina hoping she would stop crying. For a baby, Katarina was very smart. She might not understand what was going on at that moment but she did know it wasn't good. So she did what most baby's do at the age of 1, she cried.
"Shhh, it's okay baby. Daddy'll be back soon." Tonks was looking into her goddaughters bright blue eyes in which she got from her mother.
"Here, Sirius, I think she wants to say good-bye." said the very sad Tonks. Her favorite niece, and only one for that matter, was crying, and little baby Katarina being pouty and sad could bring anybody to tears. Tonks handed the child over to Sirius and he began to sing the innocent little girl to sleep.
"Hush, little baby, don't say a word. Papa's gonna buy you a mockingbird.
And if that mockingbird won't sing, Papa's gonna buy you a diamond ring.
And if that diamond ring turns brass, Papa's gonna buy you a looking glass.
And if that looking glass gets broke, Papa's gonna buy you a billy goat.
And if that billy goat won't pull, Papa's gonna buy you a cart and bull.
And if that cart and bull fall down, You'll still be the sweetest little baby in town."
"Goodnight my baby. One day when your all grown up you'll be pretty and smart and won't have a care in the world." That marks the day Katarina lost her father to a crime he didn't commit. And so starts our story of hurt, friendship, and most importantly love.
