Chapter 2 – the Meeting

It was the third week of summer when Dumbledore came for me. I hadn't spoken to my parents for the first two weeks because I was angry with them for lying to me about who they were. Dumbledore had written to them to tell them what had happened and they knew I had found out the truth. Even though I was angry with them for lying to me at first I knew it wasn't really there fault.

I was nervous when Dumbledore arrived in our fireplace by flew powder and gave me a smile. "Good morning Ashlesha" he greeted me.

"Good morning professor" I said back.

My parents were standing beside me both looking concerned. "Are you going to take her to meet Black professor?" my dad asked cautiously.

Dumbledore nodded. "We have found a safe place for him. You both know the truth about Sirius and he has to stay hidden. I will be taking Ashlesha with me to meet him now but I will bring her back this evening" he said.

My mum still looked at little uncomfortable but she nodded that it was alright. "Alright then go with professor Dumbledor Ashley and make sure you tell us everything that happens" she said to me.

"I will Mum" I replied as I went to stand next to professor Dumbledore. I didn't know where we were going but I though we must be apparating.

"Ok Ashlesha if you are ready" he said as he placed a hand on my shoulder and I suddenly felt the sensation of the world spinning.

I was dizzy for a moment and then the world stopped spinning and I realised we were standing in the middle of a street. That was the first time I had ever apparated with someone and I found it really wierd. I looked around and tried to work out where we were. I reconized this as one of the places my adoptive parents used to take me on shoping trips. "Why are we in Hogsmeade professor?" I asked.

"because this is where we will find your father" Dumbledore replied as he began to walk through the village.

That confused me "Why? Is he hiding in the village?"

Dumbledore shook his head "No this is were we are meeting him" he replied.

I followed Dumbledore to the end of the street and as we turned the corner I noticed a large shaggy black dog was standing in the street in front of us. It was a very big dog and it made me a bit nervous but Dumbledore kept walking towards it. As we approched it it turned away and began to walk in the direction that went out of the village. Dumbledore followed it and I followed Dumbledore.

It began to lead us outside the village towards the mountains. I couldn't understand why we were following a dog but I trusted Dumbledore knew what he was doing. Eventually we reached a cave at the bottom of the mountains and went inside. Inside I could see the cave was empty apart from the dog. I turned to Dumbledore in puzzlement "why are we in an empty cave" I asked him.

Just at that moment the dog made a barking noise and I turned to look at it all of a sudden it transformed right before my eyes into a man. "Oh my god!" I shouted as a reconised him. It was Sirius Black!

"Ashley!" he said looking delighted to see me and began to walk towards me but I hung back a bit. I was still nervous.

Sirius noticed I was uncomfortable and stopped in front of me before speaking to Dumbledore instead. "Thank you for bringing her here Dumbledore" he said.

"Its time she knew who her real father is" Dumbledore responded and then turned to me "Ashley this is Sirius Black, your father. I expect you have a lot of questions for him"

I nodded "Yes I do" I said and then turned to Sirius. I could still hardly believe this was happening."Is this for real?" I asked.

He nodded "Yes I'm afraid it is Ashley. I'm sorry I had to give you up but I was sent to Azkaban for a crime I didn't commit. This was for your own protection" he said sounding very apologetic. Even though everybody thought he was a criminal he really didn't seem like one.

"Dumbeldore told me that but I still don't really understand" I said "what really happened with Peter Pettigrew?"

Sirius gave a sigh "I think we should sit down and talk about this. I need to feed buckbeak anyway" he said as he turned and walked further into the cave.

"I think that is a good idea" Dumbledore said as he began to follow him. I followed too, wondering who Buckbeak was.

We reached another chamber of the cave that was even bigger than the first one and very dark. Sirius cast a spell to light it up and I gave a small scream as I noticed the creature that was lying on the floor in the far corner of the cave. It was a hippogrif. I remembered doing about them at school and one of them had attacked a boy in our year. I suddenly felt very worried and wondered why my father would be sharing the cave with a hippogrif.

"Don't worry he doesn't bite" Sirius said with a small chuckle and then took something out of his pocket which he tossed to the hippogrif. The hippogriff began to eat whatever it was and I suddenly realised it was a dead rat and felt a bit queasy.

Sirius waved his wand again to conjure up a small fire in the middle of the cave and then invited me and Dumbledore to sit down. Dumbledor waved his wand to conjure up cushions for us to sit on and then we sat down on the floor. I was still feeling very nervous as Sirius leaned forward to look at me more closely "You've gotten so big" he said and it made me feel a bit uncomfortable at first, but then he gave me a reasuring smile and asked "So Ashley what is it you want to know?"
