Prologue

April 29th 2022 was a very special day for the members of the Weasley family. It was this day that Victoire Weasley-Lupin went in to labour, ready to have her first child with her Husband, Teddy Lupin. This Labour however was a long and grueling, so those members of the family found themselves waiting outside to meet the latest addition to their family for several hours.

In the weighting room of St. Mungo's maternity ward sat the soon-to-be grandparents Bill and Fleur Weasley, Victoire's parents along with her siblings, Dominique and Louis. Opposite them waiting patiently and nervously was the baby's great grandmother, Andromeda Tonks. Next to Andromeda sat Teddy's godfather, Harry Potter and his eldest son, James Sirius Potter, both looking forward to meeting the new baby.

However after many long hours, it became obvious they would be needing to wait more, so in-between visits from Teddy with information on Victoire and the baby, long talks with each other and the many visitors from the ever-growing members of the Weasley family including Ginny Potter, Molly and Arthur Weasley and Charlie Weasley, they constantly found themselves looking at the clock on the wall as then Healers rushed around in front of them.

A woman walked through the doors entering the floor and strolled past the group. She was dainty and average height with a small nose, with green eyes. Her lips were frowning and she strided past them walking towards the reception area that sat next to them. Her hair was greying, although it was clear it had once had a golden blonde colour, which she had lost with her growing age.

"Jessica, can you come hear a moment?' One of the healers called from a room as the woman, Jessica, began to sit down.

"Of-course" She smiled and walked over to the healer. Turning to Andromeda, Harry saw her eyebrows raised, a look of surprise on her face mixed with a look of deep thought. He traced her eye line and noticed she was staring at the old witch who had just walked past them.

"Is everything alright?" He asked her. Yet Andromeda acted like she hadn't heard him, still completely focused on the witch. The witch began to wander back towards them, oblivious to the stares she was receiving from Andromeda, and now, Harry.

"Jessica? Jessica Daley?" She asked the woman, standing up. The witch suddenly turned to see who it was that was talking to her and noticed Andromeda a look of astonishment on her face.

"Andromeda Black" She said a guilty smile plastered on her face.

"I've not seen you in years!" Andromeda exclaimed, "But no matter how long it's been you should still know it's Andromeda Tonks!"

"Oh yes sorry, with Lily I always said Evans instead of Potter, I can just never get myself around the name changes" Jessica laughed.

"Yes well, aren't you the one that's Black anyway?" Andromeda said, a look of seriousness coming back into her eye.

"Yes, I guess so" There was a sudden change in her voice, and she looked down at the ground looking more guilty than before. "I heard he..he died"

"Jessica that was over twenty years ago, and I've never seen you at any of the memorial services" She Berated, Andromeda suddenly becoming red in the face, this little reunion going from being happy to full of anger.

"I've...I've been busy" She claimed.

"So have I but I can take one day to show a little respect! I had to raise Teddy instead of his mother but I still manage to go!" A short pause came after this statment, Jessica looking down like a guilty school girl instead of the fifty year old woman she was.

"I'm so sorry to hear about your husband, and your daughter, and your son-in-law" Jessica began not looking her in the face "And I heard about your sister though I'm not to sorry about that" She chuckled.

"No-one is" Harry muttered, listening to the conversation, confused but intrigued.

"Where have you been for the last thirty years?" Andromeda asked.

"Hiding, I stayed in France for a bit and then moved back her about two years ago so now I work here"

"Hiding? From What?" Andromeda asked confused.

"Honestly I have no idea." She whispered back, still not daring to remove her gaze from the ground. "Yeah, I'm still courageous and bold"

Another pause came through.

"So I guess you're not going to the memorial festival in Hogwarts on May 2nd" Andromeda broke the silence.

"Never been before" She smirked.

"Well come, pay your respects and then you never have to go again" Andromeda told her.

"I don't know..." She began.

" I'm demanding that you go, it's not an option Jessica, you have a lot of friends that you need to pay respects to, Lily, James, Remus, Sirius, Gracie..." She emphasized the names as she continued.

"Okay, I'll go" Jessica said, tears sliding down her cheeks.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to upset you" Andromeda said.

"It's fine, I just, think I'll go home sick, but ummm, I'll see you on Monday" She sighed, walking out of the waiting room as quickly as possible.

Andromeda repeated the sigh and fell back into her seat.

"Who was that?" Harry asked.

"That was Jessica Anne Black, your mother's best friend, your godmother and Sirius' wife."


After another hour in labour, Victoire delivered a healthy baby girl, Dora Fleur Lupin. A metamorphous like her father and her grandmother, and one sixteenth Veela, she was beautiful. The monday after she was born, aged just four days old, she had her first very public outing, to the memorial festival in Hogwarts. This festival held annually on the anniversary of the war, was held at Hogwarts, honoring the people who lost their lives in both the wizarding wars and their family's and friends. It ended with a large feast for the many who attended.

Harry Potter lost a lot of people in the Wizarding Wars and was a key person at these events who often made speeches. Today however, whist he was honoring the lives of his friends and family's, he was more looking forward to meeting Jessica again. After finding out that she was in fact his godmother and his godfather's wife, he felt even more intrigued to speak to her and find out more about her, Sirius and his parents. Harry couldn't believe that in the two years in which he knew his godfather, he never mentioned his wife. This lead Harry to thinking of all the things which he never knew about Sirius, so when he saw Jessica today, his plan was to ask her to tell him the story he didn't know; The untold story of Sirius Black.

After the service, when everyone was sitting down to eat, Harry was scanning the crowds looking for Jessica, and almost gave up hope. Finally, he spotted her hiding in a corner listening to Augusta Longbottom and nibbling on some pie. Excusing himself from the table, he walked over to her. She noticed his presence almost immediately and turned around to face him, another guilty smile on her face.

"Hello, I'm Harry Potter, we met kind of briefly the other day" He said, holding a hand out to her.

"I know who you are, pleasure to meet you again" She said softly, smiling and shaking his hand.

"May I sit?" Harry asked, indicating the spare seat next to her.

"Of Course" She smiled.

"So..." Harry began not sure where to go from here.

"I'm Jessica, Jessica Daley" She said, trying to break the awkward silence and realising she hadn't introduced herself.

"Really? I thought it was Black" he retorted.

"Yeah, I guess it still is, I've not introduced myself as Black in years" She sighed, avoiding eye contact in the same way she avoided Andromedas.

"Can I just ask what happened? I know it was years ago but, I'd really just feel better if I could know"

"I Guess I expected this, I couldn't hide forever and I am sorry" She said, finally making eye contact. "Where shall I start?"

"From the beginning" Harry answered waiting to hear the story.
