THIS IS A SIRIUS & OC STORY. IT WILL FOLLOW, FROM ORDER OF PHOENIX TO THE OTHERS AND AFTER. ALTHOUGH THE STORY WILL HAVE A FEW FOCUS ON THE OTHER CHARACTERS, ATHENA AND SIRIUS WILL BE THE MAIN ONES.

ANYWAYS, THIS WILL BE MY FIRST HARRY POTTER FANFICTION. LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK AND HELP ME OUT A BIT IF YOU HAD A FEW POINTERS.

Looking at myself in the mirror, I scoffed. Mother stood behind me, fussing over my hair. Today was the day. Today was the day my freedom ended. Today…today I met my fiancé. Like most of the 28 pureblood families left, my father was obsessed with keeping the line pure and going. You see I am 19, young to many people, but in my father's eyes, I should have been married a year ago. I swear he must have been dropped as a child. It appeared my fiancé was at least 18 years older than. Now mind you I have never met him, but I bet you have heard of him. No? Well, let me give you some hints. Tall, dark, and maybe handsome. From what mother told me, longish dark and shaggy hair a bit curly as well. Well-built and intense gray eyes. Even though he was 38, he didn't seem it. Well-mannered and a bit of a rebel and has money than you can count. Nothing? Alright, he was locked up in Azkaban for some years, escaped and was on the run. From what I know, it has been a few months since he was found innocent. Yippy for him! Also, is known as Harry Potter's godfather. Got it? If you thought of Sirius Black, then you have earned yourself a pat on the back. Three days ago, father ordered me to look my best for Saturday. Said I was to meet my fiancé. Now that was a shocker, I have never even had a boyfriend before. Friends? Yes, as long as they were all females. That I didn't really mind much. If father knew about Harry, Ron, and the twins, he would have a fit. As for kissing? I don't think twice counts, and no I have not had sex. Now you tell me what kind of man, would want an inexperienced girl as his wife? None less a Black. But, eh, it was best to go along with father and not against him. I have had too many bruises as is. Just then an owl flew into my room, and onto my shoulder. Chuckling I took the note and handed him a treat.

"Who is it from, sweetie?" Mother asked.

Looking down at the paper, I grinned. "It's from Hermione."

"Oh, and how has she been?" Of all of my friends, Hermione was the one mother approved of. Father not so much, with her being a muggle-born. "Well, what does she say?"

"Oh right." Opening the letter, I scanned through it. "Well, she sends me her support. Wishes she could be with me today. Harry and the Weasley's send their support and hellos. She can't wait to see me at school." Placing the letter neatly on my dresser, I sighed. I met them all, on my second day at Hogwarts. I had gotten lost towards Snape's class, and in consequences, I bumped into Harry, who at the time was with Hermione and Ron. To say my life was an adventure after that is an understatement. The chamber of secrets, Hagrid and his animals, Malfoy and his posy, Fluffy the three-headed dog and many more crazy things. Two years ago, Harry discovered a man was out to get him, that man was Sirius Black. I know what you are thinking. 'But you said you never met him.' Well, I didn't. Last thing I remember that night was Ron, being dragged by a shaggy mutt into a tree. The same tree to knock me out. Next thing I know I was laying in the infirmary, with Ron next to me. He explained everything, from his pet rat to Sirius innocence. Then last year somehow Harry's name appeared in the goblet of fire. Ron was furious with him. It's funny how smacking a boy around can make him come to his senses. Hermione was smitten with some hot head in an opposing team. I for one had to keep that part of my life hidden. Father and mother could never know what I am up to at school, besides my studies. If they did, father was sure to pull me out and keep me under lock. So lost in thought I hadn't known mother watching me with sad eyes.

"Oh, honey." Pulling me into a hug, I allowed a small tear to fall. "I know this must be terrible for you. I too had to go through this. And truth be told, I have never been happier." Lies. "I have met Sirius when he was a young boy. He is dashing and a loyal man. He will not harm you, of that I am sure. Besides as far as I know he is very good friends with your friends." Grabbing my chin, she gently coaxed me to look up. "Don't condemn him just yet."

Wiping the tears away, I sniffed. "But why now? Does he even know of this?" From what mother told me, Sirius's mother had made a magical contract. Where it claimed that once I was of age, Sirius and I were to wed. I have yet to see the paper, but it was signed with both mine and Black's parent's blood. Same with our blood. If the wizard didn't know about this…well that will make it ten times worse. Just my luck mother was not able to answer, having heard the front door slam close. "Father is here."

"Come quickly." Grabbing me by the elbow, she hauled me down the stairs.

"Afternoon father." I greeted with a kiss on the cheek.

Dad grunted, giving me a once over. "Good enough. Now let's get going, I don't want to be late."

The drive was long or maybe it felt long. father spent the entire drive lecturing me, of how I should behave, talk only when spoken too and not to forget my manners. Mother simply gave me an encouraging smile. She was never to kin on this whole pureblood marriage. If it were up to her I would marry who I wanted and when I wanted. As we pulled up to a house, my jaw dropped slightly. The house was huge! At least three stories high. The gardens were beautiful, flowers on the side marking the ground limit. Tree's big enough to give some shade. The house was dark black, in an artistic kind of beauty. Father pulled up by the house, mother and I walked out first. Just then an elder elf walked out to me us.

"Master Sirius Black is expecting you." He grumbled something about blood traitors, clearly not happy in receiving visitors.

Father led the way, passing the stairways, three closed doors, and a living room, before coming to a door. After knocking, mother walked in first, about to follow dad stopped me. "Go wait in the family room." Frowning I nodded. Why was I not allowed to see him? I mean if I was going to marry the man, I should at least be able to see him. Falling back onto a black armchair, the little elf walked in with a tray and tea.

"Tea little girl?" He asked.

"Thank you. What type of tea?" I asked, already pouring myself a cup.

"Jasmine," He said, before walking out.

Smiling at myself, I inhaled the wonderful scent. After that, I spent two hours reading a book I had found. Judging by the bookmark in it, I guessed he was reading it. Every so often, looking towards the hallway I sighed. "What are they doing in there?"

WITH SIRIUS:

Sirius stared at the contract in his hand. Marriage? He was to marry this girl! When Theodore asked to see him, this was the last thing in his mind. How could his mother sign this?! "I never signed this." Sirius said, eyes never leaving the paper.

Theodore leaned forward. "You were about 15 when your mother signed it. She bonded it with magic, leaving only one way to break it."

Sirius looked up. "Which is?"

"If either of you rejects the contract, you will be stripped of your powers. Not just the one to reject it, but both of you." Theodore held a small smirk, at the battle seen in the younger man's eyes.

Sirius pinched the bridge of his nose, taking in slow breaths. "How old is your daughter?"

"She is 19." This time Marie answered.

"19? She is just a teenager. I am 38." Sirius was dumbstruck. "She is too young, why not look for someone her age?"

"I gave my word to your mother, I am not about to break it." Theodore growled.

"This had nothing to do with that. If I marry her, I will be robbing her of her life. She will never get to live freely. Is she currently dating someone? Is she in love? There is still school and other priorities than marriage." Sirius argued.

Theodore snorted. "She has never had a boyfriend. She is untouched as well."

Rolling his eyes, Sirius stood and walked towards the bar. Pouring himself a cup of fire whiskey, he relaxed a bit. "I don't care for that. It is the way things are being done. Knowing very well you leave us no out."

Theodore gave an annoyed sighed. "Will you respect the contract or shall I move to the next suitor?"

That caught his attention. "Who?"

"Malfoy." He replied.

Sirius nodded. "Draco. The boy is young and of pure-blood." Neither missing the way he spat 'pureblood'.

"Not Draco." Theodore chuckled. "His father."

Sirius couldn't hold back the growl. This man was literally selling his daughter. "Lucius Malfoy is much older than I am. You would be willing to hand over you only daughter, to a woman beater?" It was no secret, Lucius was a woman beater. His now ex-wife made sure everyone knew it.

"He is the next on the list, the other's between you two have no one." Theodore shrugged, caring less on who takes his daughter. "My daughter is good wife material. She has exceptional blood running through her veins. I will not marry her off to just anyone."

Sirius tossed the rest of his drink. "Please have your daughter come in. I would like to have a word with her. alone." Taking a seat, he ran a hand through his hair.

The man was quick to frowned. "That is inappropriate."

Sirius laughed, lifting the paper. "We are practically married. I would like to get to know her, before I make my choice." Giving him a stiff nod, they left. Sirius couldn't believe his luck. His mother always had a knack for running his life. Now, this girl was not to blame, she was just a victim as he was. 19 years old. Same age as Harry and his friends. If he went through with this which he knew he would. He was not going to ask her to do that-Harry and the other going to have a laugh. A small knock on his door pulled him back to the present. Sitting up straight, he took a deep breath. "Come in." Seeing the girl walk in shyly amused him somewhat. Watching her close the door behind her and stand still, he studied her. she stood no taller than to his shoulders, she was not big nor skinny, curves in all the right places. Her hair was just below her shoulders, blond with dark brown mixed. What caught his attention the most were her eyes. They were a lighter grayer than his, and if not mistaken some blue mixed in. He had to admit, she was very attractive. "I am Sirius Black."
