It was the summer after 5th year for the Marauders, and all of us faithful to the books know this is indeed the very summer in which Sirius Black runs away to the Potter Mansion. However, does anybody know what he found when he reached his haven?
At the age of sixteen, Sirius Black made one final decision. He grabbed his trunk, everything that meant anything, and he left his house, bloody and bruised. First he thought of his cousin Andromeda's, but she has a little girl, no little kid should ever see anybody in the state he was in. Then he thought of just staying at the Leaky Cauldron. But then, after he mentally hit himself for not thinking of it first, he told the knight bus to take him to the Potter Mansion.
In all his time at Hogwarts, Sirius had only been to James' for about a month in the summer every year. And each time he was there, Mrs. and Mr. Potter treated him like he was their own son. Far better than the treatment he got at home.
So once the knight bus pulled up to the Potters', Sirius happily stepped out and walked up the rather long pathway. Once he knocked on the door, he was surprised when a girl answered it.
She looked a little like James, but was shorter and had long, wavy black hair with baby blue tips. Her skin was tan, and he could see her slight curves through the pajama pants and tank top she was in. However, he couldn't see her eyes; they were hidden behind rather large, black sunglasses. He thought that was weird, but shrugged it off. "Is James here?"
The girl scrunched her nose, "You're bleeding pretty badly."
Sirius rolled his eyes, "Thanks for the update, I didn't know. Now, is James here?"
"Yes." The girl replied.
The two stood there for a moment, but the girl didn't call for James nor did she leave to get him, she just stood there. Sirius sighed, "Can you get him for me, please?"
"There you go," She said as if talking to a four year old, "That's how to use your words. And if you follow me, I'll take you to him."
She then took off, not looking back to see if Sirius was following. In a hurry, Sirius grabbed his trunk, came inside, and then followed after the mysterious girl. She led him through a series of rooms, all of which were perfectly spotless, until she came upon a room with couches and a muggle television.
"James, some bloody guy here to see you." And then, the girl walked off.
James jumped to his feet as soon as he saw his best friend. "Padfoot, what happened?"
"Parents," Sirius laughed a little, "Hey man, I know it's asking a lot, but can I stay here the rest of the summer, I mean-"
"Course," James interrupted, "I'd be insulted if you ran away to anywhere else!"
"What about your parents?" Sirius questioned.
"They won't mind, not at all." James then took Sirius' trunk, "Logan!"
The girl from before appeared about a minute later, "What now?"
"Can you go get the first aid kit and then bring it up to the guest room next to my room?" James asked. The girl, Logan, turned around, let out a sigh, and headed into the next room.
"Who is that?" Sirius couldn't help but ask as he and James headed up the guest room next to James'.
"Sister," James replied nonchalantly.
Sirius froze, "SISTER?"
James looked at his friend, "Yeah, twin. She goes to school in Spain, she likes it there."
"How come you never talk about her?" Sirius asked.
"You never asked," Was all James replied. He then opened a door and slid the trunk in. he sat on the desk while Sirius sat down on the bed. James laughed, "That's brilliant, getting blood all over the bed you're going to be sleeping on."
"I don't care." Sirius shrugged.
The two boys then heard a slight squeal and thump. Logan had come into the room and tripped over Sirius' trunk that was in the middle of nowhere in the room. She growled, "James!"
"Sorry," James jumped up and helped Logan to her feet.
"Maybe you'd be able to see better if you didn't wear sunglasses inside." Sirius pointed out.
Logan laughed, "Maybe."
After that, she handed James the First-Aid kit and then left, this time only narrowly avoiding the trunk.
For a while, James helped Sirius heal all the wounds that weren't bad enough to heal with a wand. Luckily, he only had one seriously bad cut, but they wrapped it up and decided they'd wait for James' parents to get home rather then do underage magic and get in trouble with the ministry.
For a while the two talked about quidditch and normal things like that, but one thing still bothered Sirius, "Why didn't you tell me you had a sister?"
James sighed, "I've told you stories of her and I before, I just refer to her as Logan, not my sister."
Sirius knew there was more to it, but didn't feel like pestering James about it any farther.
Sirius awoke the next morning to someone calling his name, or at least someone calling something. "Person! Hello! Person in bed wake up!"
In a mass of confusion, Sirius sat up and saw Logan standing in his doorway. "What are you doing in here?"
"James said you had a really bad cut and needed my dad to look at it. James went somewhere so it was my job to bring you to my dad." Logan informed him. "So get your lazy ass up, my dad has work to attend to."
Sirius slowly dragged himself out of bed and followed Logan down some stairs and through some more rooms. Suddenly, after entering some random hall, she fell. She let out a small growl and reached out around her. Near her feet she found a broomstick. She leaned it up against the wall, stood up, and continued on her way.
Sirius thought she was a little odd, but then who wasn't? So, he continued to follow her until they got to her father's study. "Here you go Dad." And like that, Logan was gone.
"Don't mind her, she seemed to have forgotten all her manners after her first year in Spain." Mr. Potter smiled down at him.
"I can tell." Sirius laughed as Mister Potter unwrapped his horrid cut and healed it with the wand.
Once he was done and positive Sirius was in perfect condition, he sighed, "Well, I guess I have to go off to work now. I'm sorry to say this, but James and his mother won't be back for a while so you're going to be stuck here with Logan."
Sirius laughed, "I think I should be able to handle her."
"Just beware, if I come home and you're in a compromising position with my daughter, you'll be in for it." Mister Potter joked.
"I'll try to restrain myself." Sirius joked right back and then watched Mister Potter leave.
Sirius made his way around the house, looking for anything to do. Then, after an hour of deciding he was bored, he went in search of Logan.
This task proved to be easier then one would have imagined because Logan was blasting some music in her room. When Sirius knocked, he heard a groan come from the other side, but Logan answered none the less. Surprisingly to Sirius, she still had her sunglasses on.
"Yes?" She asked.
"You want to go play some quidditch with me?" Sirius asked hopefully.
"Can't." She replied.
"Busy?"
"No, deathly scared of heights." She answered. "Well, more afraid of plummeting to my death. Doesn't seem like the way I want to go. Plus I find the thought of getting beat in the head with a bludger is rather unappealing."
Sirius laughed, "Then just come flying with me." He gave her his best puppy dog face.
She didn't seem even the slightest bit fazed, "I'm pretty sure plummeting to my death is what will happen if I go flying so I'll skip."
"Please!" Sirius begged, "I'm bored and I'm going to shoot myself if I don't do something."
She raised an eyebrow at him, "And how is that my problem?"
"Because if you don't entertain me, I'll just bug you all day." Sirius gave her a mischievous look.
"I'd like to see you try." Was all Logan said before slamming the door in his face.
For the next two hours, Sirius kept himself busy with different attempts to break into Logan's room. These attempts ranged from ramming himself into her door, flying at her window on a broomstick, and even trying to take the hinges off of the door. However, nothing worked; Logan would just stay in her room as if he wasn't doing anything at all.
Finally, James and his mother got back so Sirius had some company.
"So," James started while the two sat around the telly, "What did you do all day?"
"Attempted to get Logan to go flying with me. There is something wrong with that girl, she doesn't like to play quidditch!" Sirius said as if it were the absolute end of the world.
James laughed, "Yeah, there's no way to get her onto a broom stick."
"I just think you haven't been trying hard enough!" Sirius pointed out.
"I doubt that," A new voice, the voice of Logan to be exact, flooded into the room. "He tied me to the front door by my neck until I agreed to go flying with him."
Sirius turned to James, "Did it work?"
"No." James sighed disappointedly, "She told on me."
"And you deserved it." Logan replied, "Oh, and here, a letter for you." She handed him the letter and then left.
"James, by the end of that summer, she's going to fly on a broom." Sirius declared.
James shot Sirius a look the latter didn't quite understand, "If you say so."
A few mornings later, Sirius had a brilliant idea. He wrote a note to Logan wit a proposition for her. He would have told her his proposition, but she always ignored him when he tried to talk to her. So, once he wrote the letter, he slipped it under Logan's door and made a run for his own room.
He listened through his door for any signs of a scream or anything since her room was next to the one across from his own. Then, finally, after a few minutes, he heard her door open, knock on another door, and then the door she knocked on opened.
Sirius' eyes widened as he heard James read the letter aloud. This was quickly followed by Logan yelling, "What the hell is his problem? Such a perv!"
"Why don't you just go in the air for a few seconds, he'll hopefully lose interest." James reasoned with his sister.
"I'm not going to get myself killed just so your friend can have a nice time." She barked. She was highly defensive about this and Sirius really wanted to know why. "Besides, are you seriously going to let him send me shit like this?"
"No, I'm going to go kill him," James sighed, and then made his way into Sirius' room. He didn't look mad, not one bit, until he opened his mouth, "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU THINKING?"
Sirius raised an eyebrow, "What are you talking about, mate?"
James held up the letter and Sirius visibly cowered, "Hot stuff, you get on a broom and I'll let you get on mine. What the bloody hell were you thinking?"
"Well-"
"SHE'S MY SISTER!" James was angrier then Sirius had ever seen him, "She's my baby sister and all you can do is hit on her? Seriously Sirius, do you ever think about anything?"
However, before Sirius had the chance to reply, James left in a fury.
When Remus Lupin came to the house a few days later, tensions were high. James was pissed at Sirius, Sirius was always trying to apologize to James, James was apologizing to Logan about what his friend had sent, Logan was pissed at her brother for bringing Sirius into their home, Sirius was lusting after Logan, and Logan was ignoring Sirius. Let's just say, Remus was beyond confused...
"Remus, be good." Mrs. Lupin instructed her son.
"I will Mum," Remus rolled his eyes. She always told him that when Sirius went over to friends house. Usually, however, the lecture was much longer.
"Well-"
"Mum, they were expecting me five minutes ago, I have to leave." Remus said thankfully. He then quickly flooed over to his friend's house.
The very first thing he saw that was new was the tan girl sitting on the couch. She had black hair that was tied into two small buns on the back of her head, tanned skin, a face that seemed close to James', and large black sunglasses on. He thought it was weird that she was wearing sunglasses inside, but he decided not to say anything.
"Who are you?" the girl asked.
Remus wasn't sure if she was looking at him or not, but he just said quietly, "I'm Remus Lupin, James' friend."
"Oh, so you're the third one. They talk about you sometimes." She said, still not moving from her position on the couch.
"And just who might you be?" Remus asked.
"James' sister, Logan." She replied.
Remus was shocked. He had heard of Logan, but the way James talked about her, Logan was a boy who lived down the street. He got over his shock and asked, "Can you take me to James?"
"Sure," Logan sighed and then stood up.
While following her, he observed her long legs, revealed due to her shorts; her curves were subtle but definitely there. His observations, however, got interrupted when she fell. She immediately reached towards her feet and grabbed the broomstick that made her fall. She felt it for a second and then growled. "SIRIUS BLACK I'M GONNA KILL YOU!"
"Do you need a hand up?" Remus asked and held out his hand.
She didn't even look at his hand, just shook her head, "I'm clumsy, I tend to fall a lot."
Once she was up, she led Remus to the backyard with Sirius' broom so tightly gripped in her hands her knuckles were white.
"Sirius whatever your bloody middle name is Black watch where you put your shit!" Logan growled and then threw his broomstick at the floor and left, hitting her leg on Remus' trunk, but kept walking as if nothing had happened.
"Your sister hates me," Sirius sighed.
"Well, what do you expect?" James questioned. "So Remus, care to sit around with us and do absolutely nothing?"
"That sounds perfect." Remus laughed and sat on a chair that was on the back porch.
Meanwhile, inside the house, Logan just wanted something to do. She wished that she could go to her best friend's house. Riley and Logan were very alike with their I don't care about you attitude, but to where it wasn't the point in which you could call them bitches, just independent.
However, on her way back to her room, she could have sworn she heard footsteps too quiet to be normal footsteps, but she just decided to ignore it and go to her room.
The next thing she knew, someone was barging into her room.
"Logan!" It was James, "You have to get out of here, there's death eaters!"
She jumped up and grabbed her wand, "I'm not leaving until you do!"
"Logan, you won't be able to handle-" James started, but stopped when he felt the sharp blow of her slapping him.
"Either I leave with you, or I stay with you, your choice." Logan growled.
However, a moment later, Mr. Potter, their father, burst into the room and took his two kids in his arms. "It's okay, their gone now."
After that, James, Sirius and Remus stayed there with Mrs. Potter, however, Logan was too shaken up so her and her father decided to go on a vacation to Italy.
