The Return of Tigris
It's six o'clock in the morning, on a warm September day, the fourth day of School at Hogwarts, School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. The two Ravenclaw prefects sneak down into the fourth corridor, a corridor that has been empty for nineteen years, since the disappearing of a Gryffindor student. The two sneaking lovebirds enter a room, and begin to kiss each other. The girl looks over. "Hey.look at that." She pointed to a large figure. The figure had shoulder length black hair, with orange stripes, a uniform that was a black pleated skirt to the figure's knees, a white blouse and a black vest and a gold and red striped tie. The patch on her vest was a Griffindor lion. The two prefects exchanged glances. "Who are you?" the boy asked. The figure turned her pale blue eyes to the boy. "My name is Mika Black, and I don't think you two should be down here alone."
Harry looked at Ron and Hermione, who were laughing about something. 'Couples.' He thought. 'They're always strange.' He really shouldn't be talking though. His girlfriend, seventh year Cho Chang in Ravenclaw was walking over to where the trio was sitting. "Hi Harry." She kissed his cheek then smiled at Hermione and Ron. "Hi you two." "Hi Cho" they chorused together.
"What's everyone got today for classes?"
"Double charms" chimed Ron and Harry. "Arthimacy for me" Hermione said. "Me too Hermione. Maybe you and I can walk down there together today." Cho said. Hermione nodded then looked at Harry, who was silent. "Still thinking about Sirius?" "Yeah." The bell rang and everyone seemed to go their different ways. Harry turned to go into the Charms classroom, but stopped short when he saw a dark figure in the hallway. For a moment he thought it was Sirius, but he shook his head. The figure turned around, its eyes glowing in the shadows of the hall; then it was gone. Harry shook his head, and then went inside the classrooms. After class, Harry and Ron walked out of the class chattering away. Their conversation was interrupted by a high pitch scream. It was Hermione. The two, followed by the rest of class, ran over to where Hermione was. In front of her was a large Bengal Tiger, rarely seen in Britain, extremely rarely seen in Hogwarts! The tiger turned her pale blue eyes on Harry, and then walked over to him cautiously. She roared at the other students, who turned and ran. Ron and Harry pulled out their wands. The tiger backed up and walked back to Hermione, and changed back into her human form.
"S..Sirius?" a strangled gasped question came from Harry's throat. "No.my brother is dead. My name is Mika Black. I am.well, was his younger sister."
"That's not possible!" Hermione shouted. "Sirius doesn't have a sister. And if he did, you're too young to be her! You look like you're only sixteen!" Mika turned her eyes to Hermione. "You're quite foolish for one so intelligent. You are correct about something though. I am sixteen. But I was also trapped in a time bubble twenty years ago." The trio looked at her suspiciously. Mika regarded them. "Is Professor Dumbledore still around?" she asked. They nodded. "Take me to him then. I am sure you'll believe him."
