SIRIUS BLACK'S DAUGHTER
PART 2- HER THIRD YEAR
CHAPTER 1
Riley Maddox Lupin, an exceptionally gifted witch was about to start her third year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. In her previous two years at school, she had made many new friends and the friendships she had with Ron Weasley and Harry Potter grew stronger, especially when Harry and Riley faced the Quirrel-Voldemort in their first year and when Harry rescued Riley from Tom Riddle, in the Chamber of Secrets. On both accounts, Ron was there to help where he could, making the three inseparable. Riley and Hermione were friends, but they seem to clash a lot of the time. Riley had also made friends, with someone who was the complete opposite of her. They had many different factors going against them, like family and friends, but they still remained friends, owling each other during the holidays and meeting during school, whenever they could. No one ever suspected that Riley and Draco Malfoy were very close, because if anyone did, it would be disastrous for everyone. During her second year at school, when she in the midst of an argument with a slytherin, when her hair changed to a bright red, along with her eyes, effectively stopping the slytherin for any further arguments. It was then, Riley discovered that she was a metamorhpamagus, someone with the ability to change her appearance at will. Now we come to her third year at Hogwarts.
The bell above the fireplace at the Lupin's rung, signaling that someone was coming to visit them, via floo network.
"Hello Professor Dumbledore" Riley said as she was currently eating her breakfast, waiting for her copy of the Daily Prophet to arrive. Just then her red and grey owl swooped in thru the open window and landed in her cereal bowl.
"Good Morning Miss Riley" Dumbledore said ever so politely. "And please, when we aren't at school, you know it's Albus" he added smiling at her.
"Sorry Albus, old habits die hard. Dad's in the kitchen I think" Riley replied as she untied the paper from her owl, Isis's leg. "Holy Shit" Riley yelled at she looked at the front page of the paper.
"Riley Maddox Lupin, what happened last time you swore like that?" Remus called from the kitchen.
"Ah dad I think this warrants it" Riley replied, still staring at the paper.
"What do you mean?" Remus asked, walking out from the kitchen "Hello Albus, how are you?" he added, seeing Dumbledore standing there.
"I think for once I agree with Riley" Dumbledore replied, leaving Remus shocked. Riley then threw the paper down across the table so Remus could have a look. Staring up at him the front page, was the scruffy looking Sirius Black, the headlines screaming that he has escaped.
"I suppose Dumbledore this is why we have a visit from you this morning?" Remus asked, not looking away from the paper. "Riley, how about you go upstairs and finish getting ready to go to Diagon Alley, I need a word with Dumbledore" Remus added, when he saw Dumbledore nod his head.
"Why does that not surprise me" Riley muttered as she took Isis and went up stairs to her room.
"Is this why you want me to come be a teacher?" Remus asked when Riley was gone.
"Well no, we didn't really have any other candidates that would be suitable for the job and I know how you love teaching, so I figured it would be good for you. But now with Sirius escape, I thought this might change your mind and you'd come" Dumbledore replied.
"Well it would give me a chance to watch over Riley and Harry" Remus said.
"Speaking of Harry, he is at the Leaky Cauldron now, he blew up his aunt Marge last night and he ran off. Thankfully the Knight Bus picked him up" Dumbledore told him. "The Weasleys are all heading there tonight so I thought Riley and you could go there as well" Dumbledore told him.
"No worries. Do you think he'll really come for them?" Remus asked, sounding worried.
"I am not to sure Remus, anything is possible but they'll be safe" Dumbledore replied.
"Well looks like I will be seeing you at school Dumbledore" Remus replied.
"Thank you for accepting my offer. I look forward to seeing you there" Dumbledore replied then he left.
"You can come out of hiding now Riley" Remus said, with a smile on his face.
"How did you know I was there?" Riley asked as she came down the stairs.
"You always like to be involved in things. So I guess you heard it all then?" Remus said.
"Yeah I did, so you're going to be a teacher?" Riley asked. "What subject?"
"Defense against the dark arts" Remus replied "Now I am going to go and contact Molly and see if she can watch you at the Leaky Cauldron why I prepare for this, school starts tomorrow" Remus replied "Is that alright with you?" he added.
"Would it matter if it wasn't?" Riley asked, "Does that mean I can go to the Diagon Alley on my own?" she added.
"If you take Ron and Harry with you, that'll be fine" Remus replied "Go and pack your things and then I'll take you over" he added. Riley went upstairs and finished packing whatever it was that she needed, she double checked that Padfoot was in her trunk, she was getting too old for the dog but she still wanted to make sure it was still with her.
"I'm ready Dad" Riley said as she dragged her trunk down the stairs.
"Well let's go then" Remus said.
"Sorry for the late notice Molly, I really appreciate this" Remus said when they arrived at the Leaky Cauldron. Riley, Ron and Harry had already gone to Diagon Alley to get the last of Riley things.
"No worries, she's always a good kid anyway" Molly replied "I bet she loves the idea you'll be teaching this year" she went on.
"Actually she didn't really say anything about it so I'm not sure what she thinks. She was more excited about going to Diagon Alley without me" Remus replied.
"I'm sure she's very excited about it. She adores you Remus" Molly told him.
"Thanks Molly, anyway I should be off. Tell Riley I'll see her at school" Remus said "Thanks again Molly" he added.
"Our pleasure and good luck with these kids" Molly replied as she waved goodbye to Remus.
"Hello Mrs. Weasley" Hermione said as she entered the Leaky Cauldron.
"Hello Hermione. How are you dear?" Molly replied.
"Very well thank you, are Harry and Ron here?" Hermione said.
"They are somewhere in Diagon Alley with Riley, they shouldn't be too long" Molly replied.
"Oh Ok" Hermione replied and she followed her parents to their room.
"Why didn't you get all your stuff when Remus took you the other week?" Ron asked as they got her new transfiguration book.
"We had to leave early; he kind of went all weird then said we had to leave. I'm surprised that he let me come here with just you guys" Riley replied as she paid for her book.
"Did you ask him what it was all about?" Harry asked.
"Of course I did, but he wouldn't tell me" Riley replied "Well that's everything let's go back" Riley added and they headed back to the Leaky Cauldron.
"Hey Hermione" Ron and Harry both said as they walked in and saw her sitting at the table, reading thru their new transfiguration book.
"Anything good in there?" Riley asked as she sat down next to Hermione, throwing her book on to the table.
"Well if you had gotten your stuff earlier, you would know" Hermione replied. "Did you boys get all your homework done?" she added, looking at Ron and Harry. Riley was completely unpahsed by the remark and instead she turned to Fred and George.
"So what are you guys doing?" Riley asked them.
"Doesn't she bother you?" Fred asked quietly. Riley didn't reply, she just shrugged her shoulders and then started looking thru her book.
"Oh hey look, we actually get to transfigure animals now" Riley said as she skimmed thru the book.
"Hey I hear your dad is going to be teaching defense this year?" George asked.
"Yeah he is, wouldn't have a clue what he's got planned, he didn't tell me" Riley replied.
"It'll be harder to get away with things now you know" Fred told her. Just then her owl came in and sat down next to her, she thought it would've been from Remus, instead it was from Draco.
"Uncle Arthur can I borrow your quill for a second?" Riley asked.
"Certainly my dear" Arthur replied and handed her the quill. She turned over the paper and scribbled on the back of it. Draco had asked if she was able to get away and meet up with him, but seeing as she was now with Molly, she wouldn't be able to. She attached the letter back to Isis and let her fly off.
"Was that your dad checking up on you?" Harry asked.
"Nope" Riley simply replied then got up from her seat "I am going to make sure I have packed everything" she added then went upstairs "Thank you Arthur" she said as she handed back him back his quill. She knew she had everything packed in her trunk; she just wanted to get away from everyone there.
"Is she ok?" Molly asked, watching Riley retreat up the stairs.
"I have no idea. Want me to go check up on her?" Harry asked.
"Oh no dear, she'll talk to us if anything is wrong" Molly replied and Harry went back to talking with Ron and Hermione.
