Family Bonds
Summary: Annie is James younger sister of 13 years. Their parents were killed by death eaters nearly 7 months after she was born. James couldn't take her in because he was underage but when he turned seventeen he took her out of the wizard orphanage she was in. James and Lily died when she was six and Harry was one.
Prologue
Annie cheeks began to hurt from all the nervous smiling she was doing. She was holding on Sirius' hand tightly as they walked along the driveway to his flying motorbike. After all the clamouring and pleading she had done to be able to sit on it while Sirius flew them around, she was a bit angry with herself for being so nervous.
Sirius gave her hand a gentle squeeze and said, "It's going to be fine Annie. I'll look after you alright. Now Lily looks like she's about to have a heart attack so why don't you wave to her." She obligingly turned around and gave a wave to James, Lily and Harry. Sirius then lifted her and put her down on the seat before getting on behind her, putting on her helmet and starting up the bike.
"Ready?" he asked and they were off. After her initial fright at being so high in the air, she began to relax and even enjoy herself as the sky darkened around them. Sirius took her to Hogsmeade and they walked around and went into the stores there.
"Shouldn't we be going home now," Annie asked after dinner. "Its way past my bedtime already," she explained with her mouth full of chips and beans. Sirius looked disappointed but agreed because it was quite late and Lily would be trashing James for agreeing to this.
They were back in the sky and nearing the house when suddenly they could hear people screaming and crying. Sirius parked a few streets down from James house in Godric's Hollow and behind a few trees. They ran all the way back and when they were nearing the house Sirius told her to stay hidden in the bushes and to be as quiet as possible. He then ran ahead and after a few minutes of worrying about what had happened she decided to ignore his warning and ran toward her home, only to stop short and look on in horror at the sight of destruction and chaos before her.
