Jocelyn stared at her Mother in awe. Her Mother was sitting across from her on the couch of the family room. She had her hands folded in her lap and had a serious look on her face. Jocelyn closed her mouth.

"Are you okay Jocelyn?" her Mother asked touching her hand. Jocelyn felt the warmth spread into her body as her Mother touched her ice cold hand. "I know it's a shock."

"You just told me that my father really isn't dead and you expect me to be okay?" Jocelyn snapped at her Mother. "Why?"

"He was in Azkaban. I didn't want you to suffer the embarrassment."

"Right, so you lied to me," said Jocelyn.

"It's what your father wanted," said her Mother. "But Jocelyn I'm telling you this because he is dangerous. He killed so many wizards and Muggles. You can't trust him. And if he ever escaped and finds you, he will probably try and kidnap you or something. He's a dangerous man. Don't trust him."

Jocelyn sat up in her bed, drenched in sweat. She was gasping for breath and her heart was racing. She heard a tapping noise coming from her window. She looked over and saw an owl sitting out on the windowsill. Jocelyn pushed the sheets off her wet body and walked across her room to the window. The owl flew in once she opened the window, letting in the warm summer air. She left it open as she took the letter from the owl. The owl hooted and carried itself out of the window with strong flaps from its wings.

Jocelyn noted the curly hand writing on the envelope. She hadn't received a letter from Albus Dumbledore since Sirius Black escaped from Azkaban, which was nearly 3 years ago. Dumbledore's letters never brought good news. The first one she had ever received from him was about her mother's death, which was what her nightmare was about. He seemed to enjoy reminding her of the horrible things that were happening in her life.

Jocelyn,

It's a great burden that I must inform you that your Father, Sirius Black, was killed last night by his cousin Bellatrix Lestrange. I know this probably means nothing to you, seeing as how you've never met him, wanted to meet him or even cared. But I thought it would be something of importance. Sirius Black died while trying to save Harry Potter from Voldemort, who has returned to power. Harry is just fine, other then losing his godfather, and only family member who has ever cared for him. I'm sorry to bring this news onto with the start of the summer holidays, but I have my reasons. You will be going to Hogwarts this year. Your godfather Remus Lupin asked that you move here. I know this is hard, but you have nothing left in Ireland. You and I both know that. You must come to England where your family is and where there are people to protect you. Voldemort will be after you, just as he is after Harry. Please, write me as soon as possible and we will work out the arrangements. I am dearly sorry about your loss.

Albus Dumbledore

Jocelyn stared at the letter in disbelief, and then she started to laugh. She crumpled the letter into a ball and threw it into her trashcan. She sat down on her bed as she continued to laugh. Her owl, Sinder, flew into the window that she had left open when the other owl left. Sinder landed on her bed post and stared at the laughing girl.

"Can you believe it Sinder?" Jocelyn sighed. "Dumbledore wants me to go to England because Voldemort it back." She stared to laugh again. She looked around her rented apartment and laughed even more. Then another owl came soaring into the room. A different owl, then the first. It dropped a letter on her bed. Jocelyn stopped laughing at the sight of the owl. She picked up the letter and ripped it open, not recognizing the hand writing.

Dear Jocelyn,

My name is Remus Lupin, and I'm your godfather. It took me awhile to track you down. I'm sorry I didn't find you sooner; you would have been able to meet your Father if I had. I know Dumbledore has also sent you a letter, and I'm sure you've received it by now. I'm sorry for everything that has happened. Please write me, I can't wait for you to come to England. There is a lot that needs to be said between the both of us.

Remus Lupin

Jocelyn was annoyed by this second letter. That's all anybody ever was anymore, sorry. Her friends and teachers were sorry that her Mother was murdered by a Death Eater, and they were sorry that her Dad had died before she was born. And then when she told them that her Dad was really alive they said they were sorry then. And now, when her Father really is dead everyone is sorry. Jocelyn didn't even know the guy. She was sorry that he was killed, because she was told he was a great guy after he broke out of Azkaban, but she didn't know him.

Jocelyn threw this letter away also then climbed back into bed. Her summer holiday had just begun and she wasn't going to let Albus Dumbledore, Remus Lupin, or even Harry Potter ruin it.

Jocelyn pulled Daniel's warm body down onto hers. She kissed him, seducing him quickly. Daniel was the guy she had been seeing for the last 3 weeks of summer holiday. She had completely forgotten about the letters from England. All that was in her mind right now was how Daniel's gorgeous body was on top of hers on her bed. There was a loud crash in her kitchen. Daniel stopped kissing her and looked out the bedroom door.

"What was that?" he asked.

"Nothing," Jocelyn said pulling him back to her lips. "Probably my neighbor's cat."

"Oh, okay," Daniel said unbuttoning Jocelyn's shirt. Daniel kissed Jocelyn's lips, and suddenly he was pulled off of her and thrown onto the floor of the bedroom "What the hell!" he yelled.

Jocelyn was horrified to see a man standing in her bedroom, a wizard none the less. She quickly buttoned up her shirt as she yelled at him.

"Who the hell are you? Get out of my house!" She stood up and slapped the man. Then she noticed that he was a werewolf by his ragged appearance and tired eyes. She had seen werewolves before and could recognize them just after the full moon when they looked ill. She stepped back. "What do you want?" Daniel stood up and walked over to Jocelyn.

"You heard her mate, get the fuck out of here or I will hurt you," he said.

"No, Daniel," said Jocelyn. "It's okay. I think you should go. I have to talk to him."

"Do you even know who he is?" Daniel said looking at the shabby man standing in front of him and Jocelyn. "Can you trust him?"

"I can take care of him," she said. "He's just a friend looking out for me." The man was glaring at Daniel. Daniel noted the glare and kissed Jocelyn's cheek.

"I'll call you later," he said backing out of the bedroom.

"Right," said Jocelyn pushing her hair out of her face. The door of her apartment slammed shut. She glared at the wizard and pulled out her wand. She was much faster then him. He didn't even get his wand out before she threw him into a chair and invisible bonds tied him to it. He smiled.

"You are very good," he said.

"Who are you?" she said keeping her wand pointed at him. She called for his wand and it flew from his right pocket and she caught it.

"Your godfather," he said. She looked at him in disbelief. "Remus Lupin."

"Uh huh," she said. "You came at a bad time."

"I think otherwise," Lupin said. "I think I came at exactly the right time."

Jocelyn gave him a sarcastic smile. "What do you want?" she asked sitting down on her bed. She put his wand in her pant pocket.

"I came to take you to England," he said. "You didn't write me or Dumbledore back. Dumbledore suggested that I come and get you. I'll be taking you to the Weasley's home. You'll stay there for the summer. Then go to Hogwarts."

"I like the Wizarding Academy here, thank you," Jocelyn said leaning back. She crossed her legs and propped her body up with her elbows. If Lupin wasn't nearly 20 years older then her, and not her godfather, he might have been attracted to her.

"Well," said Lupin. "You have already been transferred to Hogwarts. Dumbledore talked to your headmaster. Your headmaster believes that you live with a Muggle family just outside of Dublin."

"I did," Jocelyn said. "They kicked me out at three summers ago. I make my own money and rent this apartment over the summer holidays. That or I go and live with a friend of mine."

"A friend like Daniel?" said Lupin.

"I don't think he's any of your business, nor do I think I am any of your business."

"You are, I'm your godfather," said Lupin.

Jocelyn paused and stared at Remus Lupin for a few moments. She glared at him, not believing who he was.

"If you're my godfather, where were you 8 years ago when my Mum died? Or when I got kicked out of my foster house? Why didn't my Dad come looking for me? Why didn't you come looking for me?"

"We didn't know where you were. After your Dad went to Azkaban you and your Mother disappeared. Your Mother quit the Order, she left England. We didn't think you'd be so close."

"Always look in the least expected spot first," said Jocelyn. "And the least expected spot is always the most obvious."

"I'll remember that," said Lupin. "Now, undo these bonds. We have to get back soon, or else Molly will start to worry."

"Well, whoever Molly is will just have to keep worrying because I'm not going anywhere."

"I was afraid you'd say that," said Lupin. "This is why I never had kids of my own." Suddenly, and quickly Lupin called his wand to him and undid his own bonds. He jumped out of his chair and called Jocelyn's wand. But her wand didn't move. She held it tight in her hand, but showed no effort of stopping Lupin from taking it.

"Nice try," said Jocelyn. "But I'm better then that."

"Don't be so cocky," said Lupin as the front door of the apartment burst open. Daniel stood in the door way with a wand in his hand.

"Daniel!" Jocelyn jumped from the bed in complete shock. She was in too much shock to point her wand at him. Daniel smiled at her and sent a stunning spell at Lupin. Lupin blocked it and sent his own stunning spell at Daniel. Daniel dodged it and called for Lupin's wand. Lupin's wand went flying from his hand and before he could react, Daniel hit him with one of the Unforgivable Curses. Lupin fell to the ground in complete agony as the Cruciatus Curse took control of his body. He began to twitch on the ground with sharp screams. Daniel stood up with an evil smile on his face.

"Now," he said pointing his wand at Jocelyn. "For the most fun of all." But Jocelyn was faster. She called his wand to her and it just barely slipped out of his fingers. She grabbed it as it flew at her and sent a stunning spell at him. She broke Daniel's wand in two and called for Lupin's wand. She knew Daniel would go for it, in hopes of using it. Lupin's wand slid across the wooden floor, but Daniel stopped it with his foot after dodging the stunning spell. Jocelyn ran towards him and kicked him in the balls. Daniel bent over in complete shock. Lupin lay on the ground, no longer twitching, but unconscious. Jocelyn grabbed Lupin's wand and stunned Daniel as he lie on the floor holding his nuts. Jocelyn walked to him and looked at his bare arm, where she saw a tattoo. She studied the tattoo and recognized it. It was a snake and a skull: The dark mark.

Jocelyn ran to her closet and threw the little clothes that she had into a bag. Then she grabbed her personal belongings from her nightstand and threw them into her back pack. She shoved her books into the back pack as well. She picked up the teapot and put a Portkey spell on it. She put the wands in the side of her boots and grabbed Lupin's arm. Then she grabbed the teapot and the pair went zipping into a neighborhood in England.

Jocelyn looked around the neighborhood that she had just been sent to. She was sitting in the middle of the street, with Lupin on her lap. Her bags were lying around her. There was a loud honking as a car came speeding down the street, but Jocelyn couldn't move. She couldn't even dream of lifting Lupin off of her fast enough to get out of the way of the car. The car came to a sharp stop in front of them. Jocelyn heard car doors open and footsteps. She saw two large men coming towards her. A woman was sitting in the car and a skinny teenage boy was walking with the two men. Jocelyn gasped for breath and she pulled her bags off her before they chocked her to death.

"Remus!" said the skinny teenager. Jocelyn looked at him in the darkness of the summer sky. He had dark hair, was tall, skinny, and had the most brilliant bright green eyes.

"You know this crack pot?" said the larger of the two men. He had a purple face and was in a nice suit. "What the bloody hell are you doing in the middle of the road?" he didn't say this in a nice way either.

"You know my godfather?" Jocelyn asked the skinny boy.

"Yes," he said pushing his shaggy hair out of his face. Then Jocelyn saw the thin lighting bolt scar on his head. "Who are you?"

"It doesn't matter," Jocelyn said. "I just need you to help me. I have to get to the Weasley's house soon or they'll worry."

"The Weasley's?" Harry Potter said in surprise. "You know the Weasley's and Remus Lupin is you godfather? Are you a witch?"

"A WHAT!?" yelled the large purple man. "GET IN THE CAR BEFORE ANY OF THE NEIGHBORS SEE US! GET THEM IN THE CAR NOW!" The other large man came forward and Jocelyn saw that it was another teenager. He alone lifted Lupin up and carried him to the car quickly. The large man waddled back to his car and opened the door. He said something to his wife. A look of horror came over her face. The man yelled at Harry as he helped Jocelyn up. "GET IN THE BLOODY CAR BOY!!!"

Jocelyn thanked Harry and they both rushed to the car. It was a tight squeeze in the back seat. Harry and Jocelyn were both very thin, but the other teenage boy took up both seats next to them, so Lupin had to be squashed across the three.

The car pulled into a driveway and the man rushed Lupin into the house with his son and wife. Harry and Jocelyn followed. They went into the house and Jocelyn looked around. The large man came down the stairs.

"Dudley put the man in your bed," he said. "I suggest you do something about him, because he and she will not be staying." The man pointed directly at Jocelyn. "Your Aunt finds her inappropriate."

"Excuse me?" Jocelyn snapped. Harry stopped her.

"Yes Uncle Vernon," said Harry. "I'll take care of it."

Harry took Jocelyn's hand and led her up the stairs to his closet size room. Jocelyn went to Lupin who was lying on Harry's bed. Harry went to his owl. He wrote a very fast note and gave it to the white owl.

"Go quickly Hedwig," said Harry. "We need an answer as soon as possible."

"Remus?" Jocelyn said putting her bags down. She sat down next to Lupin and pushed his brown hair out of his face. He had some gray strands tangled with the brown, and Jocelyn couldn't help but feel that she was some what responsible for some of those white hairs. "Remus, can you hear me?"

Harry stared at her. She was so beautiful. He could only think of one girl he had ever found as pretty as the girl that was sitting on his bed over her godfather, but he was over Cho. She was pushing Lupin's hair out of his eyes. He looked horrible, like he had been tortured. She looked like she was in great pain, herself.

"Who are you?" he asked.

"My name is Jocelyn Black," she said in her light Irish accent. Harry stopped and let the words sink in. Jocelyn hadn't looked at him, so she didn't see his reaction.

"What did you say your last name was?"

"Black," she said finally looking at him. She stared at him with her dark blue, almost black eyes. Harry looked at those eyes and everything came rushing back into his system. Everything about his godfather, everything he had learned from his godfather, everything about the night that his godfather had died. Everything he loved about his godfather, Sirius Black.

"I didn't know Sirius had a daughter," Harry said after the long silence.

"I don't have a father," said Jocelyn rather rudely.

"I'm sorry," said Harry. "His death is just as hard on me as it is on you."

"His death is not hard on me. I didn't know him at all," she said. "He never came looking for me, he never even wrote to me. But he had his own problems. You were lucky to know him."

"I'm sorry," Harry said leaning against the wall by the window he had just sent Hedwig out of.

"Don't be," Jocelyn said. "Everyone always is. I don't want anyone's sympathy anymore."

"I understand," said Harry nodding.

"Do you have a wet cloth?"

"I'll go get one," Harry said leaving the room. Jocelyn looked back at Lupin.

Harry returned soon with a wet cloth and a plate of food. He handed the cloth to Jocelyn who placed it on Lupin's head.

"I thought you might be hungry," said Harry.

"No, thank you," she said. "He'll be out for a little while longer."

"What happened?"

"My boyfriend attacked him," Jocelyn said. "It's lucky that Remus showed up today to get me. I imagine if he hadn't Daniel would have killed me."

"He was a Death Eater?"

"Yea," said Jocelyn. "The bastard. I want to know why I'm wanted dead. Lupin was just exposed to one of the Unforgivable Curses and it's my fault. I should have gone with him when he wrote me." Jocelyn put her head in her hands.

"You fought a Death Eater?"

"I was able to break his wand and stun him yes," said Jocelyn. "And I think I prevented him from ever reproducing."

"Impressive," said Harry with a smile. "How old are you?"

"I'll be in my sixth year at Hogwarts."

"Me too," he said. "You're from Ireland?"

"Yes," said Jocelyn. "My Mother and I moved there when my Father was put into Azkaban. And after she died I was left in foster care there."

"Oh," said Harry. "We have a lot in common."

"How so?" Jocelyn asked getting up and looking around the room. She took off the jacket she was wearing and dug threw one of her bags. She pulled out a tank top.

"Well, we both live with Muggles, or use to," said Harry. "Both are parents are dead. How did she die?"

"My Mom was killed by Voldemort's Death Eaters. I was only 6, it took them that long to find us," said Jocelyn. Harry looked at her as she pulled off her shirt. He was taken aback by the sudden sight a girl in her bra. He felt himself get hard. He blushed and smiled. Jocelyn pulled on the tank top that she had gotten out of her bag.

"Sorry," she added. "I'm an open person."

"It's okay," said Harry. He looked funny for a few moments and Jocelyn couldn't help but smile.

"I'm a foster child, but my foster Mum kicked me out when I was 13," said Jocelyn sitting next to Harry.

"That sucks," he said.

"Not really," Jocelyn said. "I got a job, stayed with a friend for awhile. Now I rent an apartment every summer."

"Oh," said Harry as his owl flew in threw the window. "Hedwig, nice speed." The owl hooted at him as she held out her leg with a letter attached. Harry pulled it off and opened it. "The Weasley's are happy to know that you are safe and Mr. Weasley is on his way here to get us." Just as Harry finished reading the letter there was a loud crash and scream from downstairs. "Uh oh."

"Mr. Weasley's here?" suggested Jocelyn.

"HARRY POTTER YOU GET DOWN HERE NOW!!" yelled his Uncle Vernon. Harry shrugged and went to the door. Jocelyn stayed where she was. She was beginning to get very warm so she changed into a pair of capri pants. She put Lupin's wand in his robe pocket and then put her boots on. As she finished zipping up the boots Harry and a red haired man walked into the room. The red haired man was balding and wore glasses. He was tall and skinny. He walked past her and went to Lupin.

"What happened?" he asked.

"A Death Eater attacked us," Jocelyn said.

"You must be Jocelyn," said Mr. Weasley looking at her. She nodded. "I must say that someone did not want you to get here."

"Yea," said Harry. "How are we going to the Burrow?"

"Portkey," said Mr. Weasley. "Get all your stuff and say goodbye to your Aunt and Uncle." Harry went to the door and opened it.

"Bye Aunt Petunia, bye Uncle Vernon!" he yelled through the house. Jocelyn laughed. Mr. Weasley made Harry's table lamp into a Portkey and let it sit on the desk. Jocelyn gathered her things and held onto them tight. Harry had a trunk and Hedwig's bird cage. He sent Hedwig out of the window, telling her to meet him at the Burrow. Jocelyn watched her soar out into the dark sky.

"Is everyone ready?" Mr. Weasley asked taking Lupin's arm. Jocelyn and Harry nodded. "On the count of three. One, two, three!"
