Disclaimer: I don't own anything to do with the Harry Potter franchise. That does include Sirius… *tear*!!!! I do however own Cailean, the plot line, and most of her family.
AN: This first part is all diary entries to get us started and into the mind of Cailean and her situation, well, parts of it anyway.

Dear Diary,
My name is Cailean Jonavan and I am eleven years old. Today is my birthday!! I got you from Mommy and Daddy right before I had to leave. You see, my daddy made a deal when I was little to do work for a pureblood family, like Daddy's. I don't want to leave! I have to though; maybe they will have a child my age to play with! Maybe this will actually be fun! I mean Daddy says he did it for my own good, so it has to be okay! Goodbye for now!

Dear Diary,
I know it has been forever since I have written. A year to be exact, but I just haven't had the time. I was just reading my old entry and I can't believe how naïve I was to think that this was for my own good. Maybe I'm just having trouble adjusting to the new situation, or maybe the Blacks are. I was right about one thing, though, they do have a son. Two actually, one is my age, twelve, and the other is a year younger than us. I'm not allowed to talk to them though. Apparently things like that aren't done by a servant. I can't look up, talk, or anything. I also have to work with these funny looking little elf things. They are really sweet though and I am becoming really close to them because they are the only people I CAN talk to. Back to the boy…. Both of them go to Hogwarts. I want to go with them so badly, but I am constantly told that I am not worthy of Hogwarts because of my blood status. I am a half-blood and it is held against me every second of the day! I will try to write every birthday from now on and keep a pattern. Goodbye for now.

Dear Diary,
I'm thirteen today!! I can't believe it! I have somehow survived two years of torture, abuse, and just plain hate from my official guardians. Yeah, my parents gave up my guardianship to these evil people! Sirius and Regulus go back to Hogwarts for another year tomorrow. I still wish I could go with them, but I have given up on ever getting out of here. It just doesn't seem possible anymore. Maybe the Mistress will just kill me one of these days so it can be done!! Maybe I can get up the nerve to break a rule and talk to the oldest boy, Sirius. I have heard the Mistress talking about how he is a disgrace to the family name and is in the Gryffindor house. Maybe he isn't like his parents and won't turn me into them if I try to talk to him. He must be a heartthrob at school because my heart skips every time I see him. I can't be thinking these things though, because he is so out of my league, it isn't even funny. Oh well, have to go change the bandages on my legs from last time I got into trouble. That is the only place they hurt me because it doesn't show through my uniform. Goodbye for now.
