July 13, 2003

A little girl was sitting in a dark alley way, no older then eight year old, crying and muttering to herself while the rain soaked through her clothes and the wind blew hard and cold causing her to shiver.

"Cold... so cold. Why did I choose today to run away from that horrible place, why didn't I check the weather?" The little girl muttered with watering eyes while looking through her bag for the small worn coat she had brought with her. As she looked for the coat some of her favorite books fell out getting a little wet in the rain before she quickly shoved them back into the bag. The books, ruffled at the edges and tattered from use, were made by her favorite author J. K. Rowling.

This little girl's name was Ebony Black and she loved the Harry Potter series. She had tan skin and sapphire blue eyes. She had long black hair and a round face. She was dressed in rags, for that was all she got from the orphanage she stayed at, there were dirt stains and smudges on her clothes and face along with bruises. Her eyes were the most interesting thing about her. They showed a wisdom and darkness you would not see in most adults let alone eight year-old girls. Growing up in an orphanage many different things can happen. You can learn from it and do your best and almost anything to succeed, like Ebony, let the unfairness of it all turn you bitter, like most of the kids, or stay naive and not realize what the world holds waiting for you to take it.

Ebony was very smart for her age(not to mention most adults), but she mostly kept to herself never liking to be around the other children who acted like idiots. She enjoyed reading books, writing, and cooking. The orphanage had a small section filled with different books, but by the time she was four she had read them all. So she had to steal books in order to keep reading. She had stolen books from local book stores, but most of the time she would go to there nearby library and sit and read books and use the computers. She wasn't allowed to take books out of the library because she had no library card and she couldn't ask the orphanage caretaker to let her get a card because she didn't like children and hated Ebony especially.

The caretaker hated Ebony for one reason, one stupid reason. She didn't show emotions. The little girl scared her, and the other children. She never looked upset, or scared, or even happy, at least that's what they thought. Ebony smiled and laughed when happy and looked incredibly pissed when mad but she would never show these people those emotions, only friends and allies, though she had none at the moment. Ebony knew the world was not a kind place no matter where you were and she wouldn't show anything that could be use against her later, not even emotion.

Now why was this little girl whose knew more about the world, the changes made to it, the government, and everyday life then most adults be sitting in an alley way crying her eyes out. Simple, she had, had enough. The hateful old caretaker had hit her for the last time, she was leaving. Problem is, she didn't plan ahead like she normally does she just rushed into it and had no where to go. And there she would have stayed if she didn't her the strange and alluring voice calling out to her.

"Ebony," the soft voice called out to her and she looked around seeing no one.

"Who's there?" Ebony asked pulling a calm mask to her face, though inside she felt a raging fear.

"Ebony," the voice said again and a silvery figure appeared and Ebony gasped and scooted closer to the wall she sat against.

"Your... your a ghost." Ebony said shocked as the silvery lady hovered a few inches above the ground.

"Yes, I am." the lady said smiling. The lady had long straight hair down her back and a round face. Ebony thought she looked oddly familiar with her heart shaped face, and warm smile.

"Who are you and what do you want." Ebony asked feeling completely confused but know longer afraid.

"My name is Ameila Fox-Black. I'm your... your mother." The ghost said looking at Umoya with serious, but warm eyes.

"What!"

"Relax Ebony, and I will tell you everything, though thanks to those books of yours, you already know some of it." Ameila said putting a dome like shield up around them to keep the rain out with a simple flick of her ghostly wrist.

"Ebony, you are the daughter of Sirius Black."

"…WHAT?" Ebony said "But, that's just a book, and Sirius Black never had a daughter or wife for that matter."

"He most certainly did have a wife, me. You are his daughter and it is time that you go back to our world." Ameila said smiling

"Our world?" Ebony asked, already believing Ameila spoke the truth if only because she trusted her gut, which never steered her wrong.

"Yes, our world. You are neither in the right time period or the right world. You will be sent back to the time when Harry was 7 and you father was in Azkaban for 6 years."

"What do you want me to do? Why was I sent here in the first place?" Ebony asked completely confused, but excited by the thought of being one of her favorite character's daughter and willing to do anything to find a home and a father.

"Your magic brought you here. Even as a child you knew something was wrong when Sirius was sent to Azkaban. So you were brought here because your magic was trying to protect you and our family. What better way to do so, then to tell you what will happen if you and Emory do not return to our world." Ameila said.

"Emory?"

"She is the daughter of Remus Lupin. She was taken away from him when his wife, my twin sister, Amela died but later was returned when Sirius agreed to be co-guardian. It was with her help that you both ended up in the future; unfortunately you ended up in different places. Your aunt Amela is talking to Emory as we speak. When you go back we will send you both to the front door of your uncle Remus' house. Then you must figure out a way to get your father out of prison or Remus will have to give you both up again. Then you must get Harry away from those horrible muggles."

"What would dad being free have to do with Emory getting to stay with uncle Moony?" She said already accepting the story but feeling a bit confused about all the information.

"Werewolves cannot have a child under there care alone, If your father is free..." Ameila said but was cut off by Ebony.

"He could put his name as another one of Emory's caretakers." Ebony said.

"Yes. Now Ebony, your task does not end there. You know what happens at the end of each book; we can't let Dumbledore control Harry like in the books. You know at the end of the last book Harry was sent to Azkaban for killing deatheaters and using the dark arts. That can't happen again, you must help him."

"What, he can't use the dark arts or he can't kill the deatheaters, I personally would have done a lot worse then that." Ebony said calmly even as she thought of the effects of Harry's actions. She loved the books but she hated the ending of Harry being betrayed by most of his friends and sent to Azkaban. But she had seen it coming by the ending of the third book. Dumbledore had too much knowledge, power, and too many spies not to know what was going on, and Dumbledore knew everything that went on in Hogwarts yet he didn't know Voldemort was on the back of an idiots head, or how the basilisk was getting around the school and set free by a first year or that Sirius was appearing all over the school trying to capture an animages that got through the wards for three years in a row, more if you counted his time with Percy. Yet three Hogwarts student knew the truth and not the man whose suppose to be the most powerful man in the wizarding world, can you say bull.

"I would have done a lot worse as well. But I'm saying you have three of most powerful families behind you. You and Emory are the only heirs to the Fox family and you are also the heir of the Black family and Harry's the heir of the Potter family. You can make your own side in the war that will come. But I will talk to you about that when you are older, for now do what is needed, be a kid, and be yourself but always remember family come first." Ameila said. "It is time for us to leave I will come back when the time is right, 1) au revoir ma fille bien-aimée."

"2) Au revoir la mère," Ebony said in French with a perfect accent she picked up from hours on the computer. And the last thing she saw before she disappeared was her mother's warm smile.

Ebony reappeared in front of a small cottage next to another girl. This girl had amber eyes and long black hair. She had tan skin and you could fell her power and knew that this is not someone you wanted to mess you. When you looked into her eyes you could see a slight darkness that would scare even the bravest of men. It was darkness not from pain, but the love of revenge. But she also had a smile on her face and messy clothes and they made her look kinder.

"Hey, I'm Emory." The dark haired girl said smiling gently and her eyes lightened showing a bit of the kindness behind them

"Ebony Black," Ebony said smiling at her new found cousin, before turning back to the very small cottage that couldn't have more than four rooms but was nice. Ebony glanced at Emory hopefully.

"You have any idea what we're going to tell him?" Ebony asked with a raised eyebrow

"Nope, I figured this is one time I can be blunt and get it over with, I just want my dad back" Emory said calmly.

"O...k, um but what do we say?"

"Don't know."

Ebony sighed and rolled her eyes, "Just let me talk and you go along with it, we're going to go for shock factor today. Okay?"

"Sure, why not." Emory said as Ebony knock on the door.

One minute later the door was opening to show a wary looking man who looked older than he was. He had sandy hair and amber eyes like Emory's. There was also a look of shock as he looked from one girl to the other and he looked like he was going to faint any second.

"Hi, uncle Moony" Ebony said smiling happily, and just as she thought, it push him over the edge and Remus fainted.

"Wow, what a nice welcome home" Emory said slightly amused yet with slight longing in her eyes.

"I thought so," Ebony said smirking.

"I think were going to be great friends. So while we wait for dad to wake well tell each other about our selves." Emory said.

"Okay, but let take him to his room first." Ebony said trying to drag her new found, and rather heavy, uncle to his room.

"Alright," Emory said and grabbed an arm to help with the struggle.

They got into the House and realized they were right, the cottage only had four rooms, a kitchen/dinning room, two bedrooms, and a bathroom.

They went into the room that was obviously Remus', laid him on the bed then sat in the chairs that were in the corner of the room.

They look around the room slightly disgusted at the colors but this was the best they ever had and they could stand it for now. The room was filled with whites, creams and pinks, but so was the rest of the house. They decide to ignore the room and make a plan.

"Well, we better know the basics about each other since I plan I tell him we were in an orphanage together and tracked him down using the internet at a local library." Ebony said

"But you called him uncle Moony and internet doesn't work in the wizarding world."

"Well. I'll just say any family of yours is family of mine and let him explain the wizarding world... or, I could just say that we know things that we can't tell about. And if you bothered to look around this is a muggle community"

"Let's just go with we grow up together and know things, then we won't have to go though all the lectures as they try and teach us about this world."

"I agree, that's probably the best idea. Plus I prefer to read then to here lectures."

"Same here, so let's get started. What are your favorite colors?" Emory asked.

"Mine are red, blood red, blue, purple, forest green, black, and silver. What's yours?"

"The same, plus amber. Favorite animals?"

"I like lions, dogs, black panthers, owls, snakes as for magical creatures, Phoenixes, unicorns, Nundus and basilisks. You?"

"Basilisks, ravens, phoenixes, tigers, kneazles, wolves, snakes, and jaguars are the best."

"What was life like for you so far?"

"It sucked."

"More detailed, we have to act like we knew each other before hand." Ebony said impatiently.

"My caretaker hated me, called me a freak all the time. I avoid the other kids in favor of the library and books. I had a library card because they didn't want me in the orphanage and it kept me away for long periods of a time. I didn't talk to anyone there, they always pissed me off, mad because I didn't respond to them. But I always got my revenge." She said with a mischievous smirk and slightly hardened eyes.

"My life was basically the same accept I had to steal books because my caretaker, Ms. Mayers hated me. I never showed emotion around them and they hated me for it. They were all idiots. Did weird thing happen around you as well?"

"Yea but who would have thought it was magic. I didn't mean to make my caretaker, Miss. Kentills apple hit her in the head or to turn her hair blue."

"You turned her hair blue?"

"I had just reread that chapter in the first book when she made me mad. What happen to you?"

"I magically turned a hideously pink shirt black. But I thought I just was seeing things."

"We were idiots. It was obvious what we were."

"It doesn't matter. We know now and that all that matters."

They continued to talk until the sun was completely up and Remus awakened looking slightly dazed.
