Padfoot's Daughter

By singingcowgirl

Chapter 1: the secret

It has been a year since Sirius Black's (a.k.a. Padfoot) death at the Ministry Of Magic. Remus Lupin remembered that fateful night like it was yesterday instead of a year. Shaking the painful memory of that night Lupin snapped back into reality at the Grimmauld Place looking through his dead friends untidy belongings of parchment, quills, candy, pictures, and a very interesting letter:

Dear Sirius:

I know that you must hate me for leaving you and not always telling you why. So I will start know! Do you remember when I left that day? You see I didn't really leave alone because I left pregnant. You see I left you because I was scared with Voldomort still at large and I didn't want our child to bee in danger, also because I didn't think you wanted the responsibility.

Yet now that I think about it I was wrong for leaving you and thinking those things so I will tell you about our child. Born in New York, America, with you're eyes and personality our daughter looks more like me then you except for she has you're black dog eyes and feisty personality. Andrea Elizabeth Black was born on the first of July. So now you know about your beautiful daughter who wishes to meet you and yes you are aloud to come for a visit or two.

With love,

Scarlet C. Johnson

What? Remus thought to himself as he reread the letter, Sirius a father how absurd! Why didn't he tell me, why didn't he tell anyone? Looking at the date of the letter he realized that Sirius's daughter was only a couple months older but yet the same age, then looking at the date of the letter he saw why he never told anyone. The letter had been sent just two days before Voldomort killed Lily and James Potter and leaving Harry parentless!

"Amazing, absolutely amazing!" Lupin said out loud, "I never would have guessed that Sirius had fallen in love with Scarlet Johnson of all people, but now that I think about it other then Lily Scarlet was the most beautiful girl in school."

"Not to mention she was fun to be around" Lupin said remembering the good old days when his two best friends were alive and before any of them were killed or became traitors! Remembering how his once dear friend Peter Petigrew turned the Potters into Lord Voldomort, and framing Sirius with murder!

Now he was angry at peter for every thing he had done, almost forgetting about Padfoot's daughter until he saw a picture hidden on the desk. Yet this was no ordinary picture this was a picture of Sirius and a beautiful little girl that resembles Scarlet except for the eyes and hair, waving and smiling. So this is Andrea he thought she looks so much like Sirius and also like her mother, who was not in the picture.

"I have to tell Harry and Dumbledor," he said while rushing to a cage were a pitch black owl was resting

"Wake up Nightwing, I have a job for you", he said to the bird as he opened the cage. Without a sound the dark owl flew out of his cage and onto the desk nearby. Not noticing the owl Lupin grabbed a blank piece of parchment and began writing a letter to Dumbledor.

Dear Dumbledor:

As I was going through Sirius's things I found the most astounding letter it said that Sirius has a daughter and that she is lives America, it also said that she is the same age as Harry. I will send you more information as soon as I can but for right now I shall give you the letter and picture I found until I can floo to Hogwarts to discuss this matter.

From:

Ramus J. Lupin Rolling up the letter and tying it to Nightwings legs while saying to the bird "Now Nightwing make sure this gets to Dumbledor and only Dumbledor"! With that said the bird flew out of the window to Hogwarts.

"On no I forgot today is the new year feast meaning Harry and all of Hogwarts students will bee there" Lupin said out loud before aparting with a pop into Hogmeade. Landing in front of the entrance to hogwarts.
