Private Property of Vera Black
I added on to the chapter!
Hello readers,
This is starting in like Order of the Phoenix, but I highly doubt I'll mention the now Sirius until the very end of the story. So, I have read a lot of stories about James' sister or Remus' sister falling in love with Sirius Black. And I definitely love them, I just think Sirius having a little sister will be an excellent twist. I could not for the life of me find a better nickname for Sirius and Regulus, but I refuse to resort to the popular ones, Reg/Reggie/Siri. Just ew. By the way, everything that looks like it's familiar, I assure you, it probably came from JK Rowling. I probably only own 15% of the characters. Anyways, Enjoy!
"Hello Moony, thanks for stopping by. I could definitely use the company. Living with Kreacher is driving me insane!" Sirius whined, inviting Remus into 12 Grimauld Place.
"Well I wanted to give you something that would probably relieve your boredom." Remus replied, pulling out a tiny little box from his coat.
"Oh thank you Moony, I'm sure this box will be a great form of entertainment." He muttered sarcastically, dragging Remus into the living room.
"I'm serious!"Remus exclaimed. "NO, no jokes about your name. This is important." He then proceeded to enlarge the box until it was half his size.
"Moony, what is in that box?"Sirius asked worrying. Remus pulled out a worn leather book and handed it to him.
"Moony, is this what I think it is?" Sirius dared to ask.
"Yes Padfoot, this the diary of your baby sister." Sirius cautiously opened the cover of the book.'This is the Private Property of Vera Black. If you are Sirius or Regulus, close this NOW!'
"Where did you even get this?"Sirius looked suspicious.
"They were in my attic. Oh I swear Padfoot, I haven't read any of it. I would only look at the pictures on the cover." Remus reassured. "I'll leave you to read it yourself. I'll see you later then." He tactfully left the house, Sirius barely paying attention. He remembered when she had gotten her eleventh birthday present.
Flashback
"Happy birthday Vera!" 'Dromeda and Cissy called. Vera, Relus (oh no Vera's stupid nickname's still stuck in my head!), and I hopped down the stairs to meet our favorite cousins.
"Eleven already...my little Vera's going to start Hogwarts soon!" Cissy cried dramatically. She only showed this side of her to us. It was strange, when Mum or Aunt Druella were there, she would stand straight and stay quiet. Why should anyone change themselves?
"She better get into Slytherin." Mum warned. I knew what she was going to say next. "Unlike this ungrateful boy, Gryffindor!" she spit out in disgust. I was a proud Gryffindor thank you very much!
"Where's my present 'Dromeda? Please Please, give it to me!" Vera whined.
"We bought a combined present Vera!" 'Dromeda teased. Vera's eyes widened in horror.
"You didn't..." she whispered.
"No we didn't, 'Dromeda's just joking. Look what I got you!" Cissy called walking "Slytherin like, head held high" into the hall. She returned with a giant fluffball in her arms.
"You didn't..." Relus and I begged. Not a kitten!
"She did! Oh thank you thank you Cissy!" Vera was ecstatic. I looked beggingly at Mum.
"Narcissa...Very well then, as long as it stays upstairs in your room." Mum agreed. I looked at Vera, Of Course, puppy eyes. Why did it only work with her?
"Here's mine Vera!" 'Dromeda handed her a leather bound blue book.
"A diary...I'm eleven now!" Vera protested!
"Say Vera, do you remember Bella's wedding?" Cissy asked.
"No, how could I? I was only six!" Vera exclaimed.
"Exactly!" Cissy and 'Dromeda exclaimed at the same time.
"I wish I had a journal to remember all of Hogwarts." Cissy reassured her.
"Fine, I'll do it. Only because you asked me to!" Vera.
End Flashback
From that day on, Vera and the diary were inseparable. She had placed a magic spell lock that only allowed her to read it. Sirius took a deep breath, battled the tears and began reading the one book that now mean the world to him.
Year One
September 1st,
I assure you I refuse to rewrite the date every single time I write from now on, so just get used to. Let me tell you about myself then. Future Vera here you go: I am eleven years old with short curly brown hair that I can never fix properly. I'm tall, almost as tall as Relus, my twin brother. I'm older though, by five whole minutes! His real name is Regulus, but it was such a mouthful when I was younger. That's kind of like Sirius' name, who I still call Sirus. But who cares about my obnoxiously annoying brothers.
Sirius laughed to himself. Well, there was no need to worry about entertainment anymore, he had Vera.
I just had the brain spark and thought, must write it down! Anyways, tell me what you think!
