Prologue:

October 31st 1981

"Sirius," Auriga called.

"I'm in the kitchen." Came his reply.

Auriga walked into their kitchen, leaned against the counter, and watched her husband trying to get their six year old daughter to eat her carrots.

"I swear," Sirius said as their daughter sat with her arms crossed, "That she's as stubborn as you."

"Am not," The six year old retorted.

Auriga just laughed and sat down at the table where Sirius and their daughter, Rigel sat.

"Lily and James aren't taking Harry out tricker treating either tonight." Auriga said to Sirius.

"Can't blame them," Sirius said picking up the six year old's plate and putting it into the sink, "The storm is pretty bad."

Auriga nodded and stared at the black sky through the kitchen window.

"You ok?" Sirius asked.

Auriga looked away from the window and towards her husband.

"Yeah," she said, "I'm fine; I just have a weird feeling."

"What type of weird feeling?"

She looked to her daughter before turning to Sirius, "I just don't like Lily and James having to be in hiding."

"The war will end," Sirius said confidently, "We just have to keep fighting."

Auriga gave him a small smile before turning to Rigel.

"Time for bed Pumpkin," She said.

"Aw, Mum," Rigel whined.

"Listen to your mum Rigel." Sirius said.

"Fine," She said getting up from her chair, "But I want a story."

"You got it," Auriga said smiling, "Go pick one out and change into your pajamas."

The small grey eyed, brown haired girl skipped out of the kitchen and her footsteps could be heard going down the hall.

"She looks more like you every day." Auriga said clearing the table of the dishes.

"She has your hair," Sirius pointed out.

"And your eyes, your toothy grin, not to mention your puppy look." She said filling the sink with soapy water.

"You should be thankful your daughter has her father's great looks." Sirius said with a smirk.

Auriga threw a wet sponge at Sirius.

"And what am I?" she asked sarcastically, "A troll?"

"Oh come on Love," Sirius said grabbing her waist and pulling her towards him, "You know I'm only joking. You are the most beautiful woman I have ever laid my eyes on."

"And I suppose I should take that as a compliment since you've had your eyes on so many," Auriga joked.

Sirius rolled his eyes and kissed her.

"I love you," He whispered.

"I love you too." Auriga said wrapping her arms around him.

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo

Later that night Sirius found Auriga in Rigel's bed reading to their daughter.

They both looked up from the book as he stood in the doorway.

"I'm going to go out for a bit." Sirius said, he had been feeling anxious about James and Lily ever since Auriga said she had a weird feeling.

Auriga looked worriedly at him, "It's late."

"I'll be fine," He reassured her.

"Just be back soon," She said sensing that he was probably going to check on James and Lily.

"Bye Daddy," Rigel said with a yawn.

"Bye Rigel," Sirius said with a small smile.

"See you later," Auriga said.

"See you later." He said before turning away from the door frame.

Auriga finished reading to Rigel before turning off the light and moving into the living room. She sat down on the sofa and picked up a photo album. She flipped open the cover to see an eleven year old version of herself waving to the camera. It was the day she was leaving for Hogwarts. She had been so excited. Auriga flipped the page to see a muggle photograph of a younger Lily Evans. She brushed the photograph lightly with her finger and continued to skim through the album before stopping at a picture of her with Sirius. They were in their fifth year and waving happily. That was the year she had gotten pregnant with Rigel. After finding out around Christmas, Auriga kept the pregnancy from everyone and broke up with Sirius. At the end of their fifth year Sirius ran away from his home and Auriga was banished from hers. She had begun working at the leaky cauldron until Rigel was born that August.

Auriga flipped the page to show a picture of her overgrown belly and beside that a picture of the day Rigel was born. Andromeda Tonks had also been sent from her family because she had married a muggleborn so when the two met at Saint Mungo's the day Rigel was born, Andromeda offered a place to stay at her house. Auriga had accepted and from the photo on the next page you could see that they were very happy there. Andromeda had a daughter Nymphadora and she adored the new baby and to the day they were like sisters. Auriga had continued to do her education by homeschooling so that she wouldn't have to leave Rigel. Auriga smiled at the photo of Rigel's first birthday. Andromeda was Sirius' s cousin so it didn't take her long to figure out who Rigel's father was. By the end of Sirius' seventh year Andromeda had convinced Auriga to tell Sirius about the child. And she did, Sirius was shocked and a bit angry that she had not told him but the two had somehow managed to form a relationship and the next year they married around the same time James and Lily did.

Auriga looked at the photo of their wedding day and smiled as she watched as she and Sirius kissed. Things had changed so much from since then. Lily and James were now in hiding with Harry and her and Sirius had to watch their backs every time they left the house. Rigel wasn't even allowed to leave the house unless they were going to Andromeda's. Auriga shut the book and soon she found herself falling asleep.

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO

"Auriga!" Was shouted followed by loud knocks on the door.

Auriga opened her eyes and looked around her noticing she had fallen asleep on the couch. The pounding continued on the door and her name was shouted again. She drew her wand out from her back pocket and moved towards the door. Looking through the peephole she saw that Remus Lupin was standing on her doorstep and pounding on the door.

"Auriga!" He yelled again and she opened the door.

"Remus," She said hurrying him in from the storm.

"Is he here?" He asked his wand outstretched and searching the house with his eyes.

"Who here?" She asked puzzled, "Sirius?"

"Is he here?" Remus repeated his eyes looked wild and he was scaring her.

"No," She said, "I think he went to see James and Lily, he should be back by now. Why do you think something's happened to him?"

"James and Lily are dead," Remus said bitterly, "Sirius betrayed them to Voldemort."

"James and Lily?" Auriga asked numbly, "No, Sirius was their secret keeper! He would die before betraying them!"

"They're dead?" She asked tears coming top her eyes, "No they can't be! What about Harry?"

"Harry survived and Sirius tried to take him too but Hagrid stopped him." Remus said, "Have you seen Sirius? You need to tell me where he is!"

Auriga slapped Remus hard across the face, "Sirius would never betray his friends!"

"Mummy?" Rigel's small voice asked.

Auriga turned to see her daughter walking towards her.

"Come here," Auriga said quietly, "it's okay, come see Mummy."

Rigel came looking cautiously at Remus, "Why are you shouting?"

Remus looked wearily at the child before turning back to Auriga, "Auriga we should go to the Order. Sirius might come back here and whether you believe it or not, he's dangerous."

Auriga glared defiantly at him, "My husband is not a murder and I can't believe that his own friend thinks so."

"Fine I'll stay here with you then." Remus said taking off his coat.

"No," Auriga said, "I refuse to let you stay here after accusing Sirius of murdering his best friend."

"Auriga," He said, "Sirius was the secret keeper; there was no other way for Voldemort to find them!"

"Shut up!" Auriga yelled and Rigel backed away from her mother and started crying.

Remus shook his head at her before walking out the front door. The crack of him apparating met her ears and she turned to her crying daughter and began to cry as well.

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO

Four months later:

Sirius going to Azkaban had broken Auriga's heart, yet she still knew that he was somehow innocent. Rigel didn't know what was going on but she knew that only her Mum wasn't mad at her father who was now gone.

"Mummy," Rigel asked, "Who's that outside?"

Auriga looked questioningly at her daughter before looking out the window. Someone in black was in fact coming around the house and heading towards the front door.

"Bellatrix," Auriga whispered in terror.

"What?" Asked Rigel.

Auriga had left her wand on the kitchen counter and they were in the living room. To get to the kitchen required going by the front door where Bellatrix was heading.

"Rigel, come on," Auriga whispered franticly as she heard the front door blast open.

She looked franticly around for an escape route when she looked at the fire place. Floo. She grabbed her daughter in one hand and Floo powder in the other. She could see Bellatrix running down the hallway towards her.

"Andromeda Tonks!" She shouted but before the powder fell Bellatrix though a curse and Auriga screamed before she and her daughter where transported to the Tonks' house.

Rigel looked around widely at the living room at the Tonks' house before turning to her mum.

"Mum?" Rigel asked looking at the limp form beside her in the fireplace.

"Who's there?" Came Andromeda's voice, "Rigel? Auriga? Auriga!"

Rigel watched as Andromeda ran towards the fireplace and turned her mum over to reveal her mum's terrified unmoving face.

"Mum!" Rigel sobbed.

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO

This is the story in the point of view of Rigel Auriga Black that starts in her seventh year of Hogwarts, the year her father escapes from Azkaban.

What do you think? Also Rigel is named after a star and is pronounced "Reegle".
