AN: Sorry it took so long to get book six up and running I wasn't sure which way I was going with it. I think I've finally got it. Here it is…
Chapter one: The trial
"Do they know when the trial date is Mrs. Weasley," Sierra asked when they sat down for dinner.
"No I don't but Arthur should know when he arrives." Mrs. Weasley said and Sierra nodded and Harry knew that she was worried about it and then Arthur arrived and had a talk with Sierra after they finished dinner.
"They are having the trial tomorrow morning." Arthur said to her and Sierra asked, "Who's going to be there?"
"Remus will be there since he is fighting for your custody. I believe, I don't want to say this, your father and brother will also be there fighting for your custody."
"Will they allow me to go? I mean with the order and everything that I know about it?" Sierra asked and Arthur replied, "Again I have no idea we'll see what the outcome is but I have a feeling that it may be in favor of you returning home."
Sierra sighed and Arthur put a hand on her shoulder and said, "You are always welcome here you are family no matter what you are."
"I know, what time tomorrow?"
"Eight in the morning, we'll leave here around 6:30 am to be there early enough. I suggest you get a good sleep young lady." Arthur said getting up and went in to talk to his wife.
The next morning Sierra found herself in the court room sitting in the audience next to, to her surprise Professor Snape. He looked at her concerned then her father and Remus showed up and she caught Remus' eye and he smiled at her and she gave him a small smile in return.
Finally the court had ended and the jury back in and Sierra took Severus hand and they said, "We believe that it would be in her best interest to return back to her family. We've looked over each of their files and believe that Mr. Black is more than capable of taking care of her." Cornelius said and this ended the court session and Sierra tried to hold back tears but they came out and Severs held her.
Then Remus came to her and was intervened by Regulus who said, "You will go nowhere near my daughter Remus in fact you and the rest of your order are forbidden to see her."
At this Sierra looked up at Remus who she saw nod to Regulus and left and Sierra glared at her father and he held out his hand and she took it reluctantly and they apparated out of there. When they got home Sierra found her face to face with her Godfather who smiled evilly at her and said, "Welcome home my dear. I have a surprise for you later on." Sierra did not like this one bit.
"WHAT?" The Weasley's and Harry and Hermione shouted.
"I know I don't like this one bit either." Lupin said and put hand on his forehead and looked at the table and Hermione looked at Ron and Harry and she came over to him and put a hand on his shoulder and said, "I'm sure Sierra knows that you did what you could and now all she asks of us is for us to be there when her life all comes crashing down."
Remus looked at her with tears in his eyes and he said, "Your right, we need to be strong and be there when she asks us to."
"Now that we have this settled, who wants desert?" Molly asked and they all happily ate her yummy cake.
"Now I'm sure all of you are asking why are we here tonight?" Murmurs filled the crowd and Voldemort leaned back in his chair and answered, "We have a new guest a guest that will help us bring down the light with the help of Draco here. This guest will help be able to help Draco succeed what I have planned for him most of you know to what I am referring to." Many nodded their heads including Severus. "Now however if she and Draco fail, Draco's parents will be killed along with Draco the last of the Malfoy family. I know this will have an effect on her because, she may hate them but she doesn't want anyone dead."
"My lord may we ask who this person is you've said it was a she?" Avery asked and the Dark Lord nodded his head and said, "Right now she is receiving punishment from Bellatrix she should be here shortly. However she will not be wearing a Dark Mark like most in my inner circle she is not to be trusted yet." Then the door opened and Bellatrix threw Sierra to the ground and Severus had to stop himself from going to her. Her eyes already told him that they were scared and exhausted and Voldemort stood and casted one last Crucio at her and Severus closed his eyes. However Sierra did not scream, Severus probably thought that she was tired of screaming, screaming in pain and Sierra looked over in his direction and he noticed that she was terribly pale.
"Everyone meet Sierra Black my Goddaughter." Voldemort said smiling evilly at her and whispers filled the air. I believe that Draco should come forth and stand beside her." Draco without hesitation came by her side and then he said, "Kneel." Draco did and Voldemort took his left arm forcefully and Sierra saw him draw the dark mark on him.
"Draco if you and Sierra succeed in killing the headmaster Dumbledore then you Draco your family will be forgiven for its mistakes. However if the two of you fail then the Malfoy name will disappear." Voldemort said and Sierra quickly looked at Draco who she noticed pale and she glared at Voldemort and said, "How do you think that two teenager's will succeed in kill the greatest Wizard of all time?"
Voldemort smiled and said, "You'll find away unless you want the Malfoy family to die. The meeting is done and Sierra I expect you to be on your best behavior for the rest of the summer.
Surprisingly for Sierra her summer ended quickly and she found herself getting on the platform with the Malfoy's. Sierra looked around the Platform quickly looking for Harry, Ron and Hermione and she sighed knowing that they'd be late and then she heard a voice say, "Looking for someone?" She turned and it was Remus and Sierra gave him a hug and he returned it saying, "I'm glad you are okay." Sierra then had a knot in her stomach and thought just peachy. "I'd feel much safer with you." Sierra said and Remus sighed and said, "I know." Then Harry had come through the barrier and gave Sierra a great big hug and Hermione had done the same and Sierra laughed when all Ron did was shake her hand.
Then everyone said their goodbyes and Harry and Sierra went to find a compartment and found one with Neville, and Luna. The two sat and Sierra sat by the window and looked out and then Harry said, "Sierra is everything okay?"
"Everything is fine, I'm just thinking." Sierra said smiling and he smiled back and said, "Okay."
The train ride was uneventful and the only thing that was exciting is when Harry, Ron and Hermione told her about what happened at Diagon Alley. Harry now thinks that Malfoy is a death eater and Sierra really wanted to tell them what was going to happen this year but she bit her lip and tried to help Harry make his story convincing to Ron and Hermione. Then Harry said he was going to the loo but Sierra shook her head and played a game of chess with Ron.
The train ride stopped and they all got off and took their seats in the Great Hall and Sierra scanned the staff table and locked eyes with Professor Dumbledore who then nodded to her and then spotted Snape and he nodded to her and then she returned to Ron and Hermione. When the sorting was done Harry was still not there and Sierra and Hermione exchanged worried looks as Ron continued to eat then they saw a Patronous come and she saw Snape leave.
The next thing that she knew Harry was walking in with Snape and he was covered in blood when he sat down Sierra quickly cleaned him up and healed his nose. "Thanks," He said and she nodded to him and returned to Dumbledore.
"We have two new additions to the staff table. One, Professor Snape will be teaching Defense Against the Dark Arts." Only a scattered applause for Professor Snape and then Dumbledore continued "We have found a new Potions teacher and help me wish me luck for Professor Slughorn to take place of Professor Snape." A more appropriate applause for Slughorn teaching career to begin. After Dumbledore's speech he released the students to bed.
"Can you believe it Professor Snape teaching Defense?" Ron said angrily and Sierra defended him by saying, "It's not really that surprising Ron, Snape is a fairly good teacher." She finished talking from experience."
"You only said that because he was the only one that would teach you last year." Ron said as they entered the common room.
"What if I am?" Sierra asked him. "He's done more than anyone has done for me in the past year, he was even there at my hearing. You forget that Professor Snape and I are quite good friends and I would stop insulting him every chance you get especially if it is around me." Sierra finished and walked off and Ron shook his head in disbelief.
"That girl has got to sort out her priorities." Ron said and Harry stayed silent and Hermione said, "Or maybe you do Ronald. I swear you have no tact. I'm going to bed see you all in the morning."
"Good night," the boys said and they two headed to bed.
Chapter two: The Kiss
The next week went fast for Sierra and it was about time that Draco and Sierra would meet for their 'plan.' They met in the room of requirement and Sierra said, "What makes you think that I've gone through with his plan?"
"You'll feel bad if my family and I were killed. There is no way out of this either once you've except something from the Dark Lord you either do it or die." Draco said to her.
"I'd rather die than kills Professor Dumbledore anyway." Sierra said to him sitting on the couch and Draco rolled his eyes at her and said, "Don't worry I've got the plan all figured out we are going to use," Draco pulled down the sheet and continued, "The vanishing cabinets there is another one like this in Knockturn Alley. This is one way to let the Death eaters and Greyback into Hogwarts."
"You are seriously letting Greyback into the castle? Besides there is another way out of this if we would just go to Dumbledore I know you are no killer Draco." Sierra said to him.
"If you tell Dumbledore about this plan I'll tell everyone you are a werewolf." Draco said and Sierra glared at him. Fine, I'll just go to Snape and he'll tell Dumbledore the plan. Sierra thought and looked at Draco. "How are you going to attempt to kill Dumbledore or distract him or Harry from believing it is you?"
Draco said, "That's where you come in tell them some cock bull story or something to get them off my trail."
"All right fine, are we done here I'm supposed to meet Harry now?" Sierra asked and he nodded and when Sierra was about to leave he said, "Remember what I said, tell Dumbledore about this plan and your secret will be released.
Sierra made a nod and continued out the door and ran to the great hall and Harry was already waiting there and he asked, "You're almost late and why are you out of breath?"
"Ran into Filch and escaped when his back was turned." Sierra lied easily and Harry nodded and together they walked down by the lake. "Are Ron and Hermione down there already?"
"Yeah, we'd thought we'd have a little picnic and talk a little." Harry said taking Sierra hand and she didn't let go.
"What took you guys so long?" Ron asked and Harry said, "Sierra ran into Filch."
"Already and it's only the first week?" Ron asked and Hermione smacked and him and Sierra laughed and sat down and so did Harry.
"We've been meaning to ask you Sierra, how were things over the summer?" Hermione asked and Sierra sighed heavily and said, "all right accept the fact that Voldemort was living there as well." Sierra finished and Harry looked at her full of concern and asked, "He didn't hurt you did he?"
Sierra laughed and said, "Harry this is Voldemort, my Godfather you are talking about. Of course he's going to punish me for not sticking with the family."
"What Voldemort is your Godfather?" Ron asked rather rudely and Sierra suddenly remembered that she only told Harry who her Godfather was and gulped and Harry recovered quickly and said, "Ron, Hermione if we can still befriend Sierra when she's a well you know we can still be friends with her no matter who her godfather is, even though we may not like it."
"It's fine I guess I was just rather surprised is all." Ron said and Sierra sighed in relief and Harry and Hermione smiled at her and Harry grabbed her hand and tossed her into the lake.
"Harry James Potter I will kill you!" Sierra said swimming back to shore and through Harry into the lake as well.
"Miss. Potter," A voice said and the friends looked up to see Professor McGonagall.
"Yes Professor?" Sierra asked and she replied, "Professor Dumbledore would like to see you."
Sierra exchanged looks with her friends and McGonagall said, "Don't worry you're not in trouble he'd just like a few words with you." Sierra nodded and followed the Professor to his office.
"Hello, Miss Black," Dumbledore said as she walked in and he motioned her to have a seat and she did. "I just wondered if you had anything to tell me."
"I would professor but-"
"You are afraid of Mr. Malfoy's threat. I assure you that he will not let out your secret." Sierra nodded and said to him, "I don't know where to begin Professor."
"Why don't you start from the beginning of summer?" Dumbledore suggested and she nodded and started from the beginning until Hogwarts express.
"Interesting so he's enlisted you and Draco to kill me?" He asked and she nodded. Then he asked one of the pictures to fetch Professor Snape and she was very confused and then she noticed his hand and asked about it and he replied, "I don't think this is safe for you to know yet." She nodded and after a few minutes Snape came in looking as confused as she did.
"I have just learned that Voldemort has hired two teenagers to kill me." Dumbledore said and Severus quickly looked at Sierra and quickly said, "Albus she wasn't supposed to say anything to you or anybody about this assignment if it get's leaked out, which I'm sure it will, she'll be severely punished for it during Christmas break."
"Who said I was going back for Christmas?" Sierra asked him.
Then Sierra spotted a rat running around and with her werewolf senses managed to catch it and sat on it while Dumbledore and Snape were talking of a plan to get Draco and Sierra out of this mess. Then the two turn and Dumbledore asked, "Is there something wrong Miss Black?"
"Yes, sir it's this rat under me." Sierra said and Dumbledore and Severus looked at each other and moved close to Sierra and sat up and slowly lifted the cup when Severus and Dumbledore raised their wands and it changed from a rat to Peter, and he whimpered.
"Wormtail what are you doing here?" Severus asked almost angrily.
"I'm doing work for my lord. What are you doing here?" He asked to Snape.
"I? I teach here and Dumbledore asked me to come up here to look over my course work just after he had a discussion with Miss. Black." Severus answered and Dumbledore tied him up and put an anti-animagus spell on the ropes and sent a letter to the minister.
"Severus I still want to talk to you meets me here tomorrow morning before classes. Good day to you Miss. Black." Dumbledore said and Sierra nodded and she nearly skipped all the way back to the common room in her wet robes.
"May inquire to why you are wet Miss. Black?" Severus asked seeming amused so she amused him, "If you may know sir, Harry tossed me into the Black Lake. Then I got back at him and tossed him in as well." Sierra said smirking at her friend.
"When is your first date?" Severus asked slyly and Sierra answered, "None of your business." She walked off leaving Severus alone smirking to himself.
"You seem awful happy." Ron noticed as Sierra sat next to them and taking Harry's hand and said, "I'm sure you'll find out in tomorrow's paper."
"What? You can't tell us now?" Harry asked with puppy dog eyes and she laughed and said, "nope, you'll have-" She couldn't finish her sentence because Harry had kissed her and she kissed him back and Ron and Hermione smiled at each other and said, "About time!" When the two broke up and Sierra tossed a pillow at them and Sierra and Harry cuddled together and Ginny had started to walk over and then saw Sierra and Harry together and then left up to the dormitory and Hermione sighed and said, "I should go talk to her." Then Harry stopped her and said, "This is something that I probably should do Hermione."
Hermione nodded in understanding and went to get Ginny. Then Harry and Ginny excused themselves and went for a walk.
