Chapter 3

Aryella kept to herself for the next few days, she had a few encounters with Hermione and talked with the older members of the order however her favourite household members were the Weasley twins they treated her like a comrade in there pranks and she got in quite a bit of mischief with them, but Sirius on the other hand she avoided like the plague. As soon as he came into a room she left, she couldn't stand around and be near him she couldn't get close and yet she remembered him singing her to sleep at night, teaching her how to ride a broom much to Lilly potters disgrace as her and Harry were only one, Aryella remembered everything since the moment she opened her eyes, no one has told her why, she just can, but one thing she knew for certain was that she misses her dad.

Aryella walked towards the kitchen for breakfast, on her way down she bumped into Harry.

"So today is the day I hear"

"You heard about the dementor attack then "

"Yer I did. I hate the ministry. All well worst comes to worse you'll have to live on the streets and sell your self for money, on the plus side you'd have lots of sex"

By the time Aryella said the last bit they were in the kitchen and everyone went silent at the last few words. "WHAT" Sirius spluttered

In a voice that Aryella had practiced over the years she said " I was just say to Harry that the worst case would be him living on the streets and selling himself for money,the silver lining being he'd get lots of sex" with that Aryella arched an eyebrow and looked directly at Sirius, and slowly but surely Sirius began to smile until there was a full blown smile on his face, and he replied

"That's something I would have said." With a chuckle from Sirius everyone continued to eat there breakfast.

After Harry and Mr Weasley leave for the ministry everyone seems to fan out of the kitchen to there respective rooms, and Aryella finds herself in her favourite room, the drawing room, it wasn't her favourite because of the infamous black family tree no it was her favourite because of the baby black piano that sat in the corner or the room. Aryella loved to play and she was good, her grandmother taught her how to play, the only happy memory she had of her grandmother and even that wasn't very happy,

Mrs Black was a hard woman but she always said she wanted a daughter. She was really good at piano and believed all pure blood woman should know how to play. She taught Aryella everything she new and if Aryella got it wrong she'd get whacked by a wooden spoon on her knuckles, god it hurt, the memory of her four year old self getting whacked by a wooden spoon flashed in her mind.

Sirius stood at the door and watched his daughter open the lid of the piano and sit down Aryella was just about to start and play when Sirius said "do you like to play the piano?" Aryella went to close the lid on the piano, "wait please" Sirius said in a pleading voice. "Please"

Hesitantly Aryella replays "I love to play. Cissy always said it was my weakness no matter what I was hiding my music never lied."

"Your close with Narcissa Malfoy?"

"Yer she's the closest thing I ever had to a mother."

"Ary I'm really sor..."

"Don't" Aryella butts in.

Sirius takes a seat on the armchair that was placed facing the piano. "Did you know she's not a Black, Cissy I mean"

"I figured it out, the blonde hair was kind of a give away, she was adopted wasn't she, after Aunt Andy they couldn't have kids so they adopted then they had Aunt Bella"

Sirius sits there and ponders this for a moment. "I can understand you call Andy Aunt Andy but why Bella?"

"Did you know Aunt Bella can't have kids, other then her psychotic tendencies, she was awesome she taught me how to muggle fight and beat up boys when they picked on my clothes. I wasn't very girly you see so I'd wear Draco's clothes cause Cissy would only buy me dresses."

"Ha I can imagine that. Sounds just like Cissy to do that even when we were kids she always wanted a daughter. I suppose when we were kids Bella wasn't so bad she was head strong and did things her own way. Kind of like you"

"Oh great, thanks I'm going to turn into some form of psycho who is obsessed with dark magic."

"Ary you'll be fine, there's good and bad inside of everyone you know"

"Yer I guess there's a fine line between black and white." Aryella finishes the conversation opens the lid of the piano and stares at the keys.

"My mother tried to get me to play I hated it, I prefer the guitar myself."

"Yer she can be a bit harsh. She taught me how to play." After Aryella's last comment Sirius stiffens and his nostrils flare.

"You met my parents."

"Just your mum. And uncle Reg. he got visiting rights when I was in the orphanage every weekend and every opportunity he could he would pick me up buy me ice cream and we'd go to the park. He didn't want to take me to meet grandmother, but I wanted to, so he gave in. She wasn't that bad" Sirius raised his eyebrows in speculation " well i mean she wasn't a nice little old lady but she was enough. And that's how I meet the rest of the fame I guess."

"So I'm sorry if I'm intruding and you don't have to answer but, why do you live with the Malfoy's?"

"Ummm I legally moved in when I was twelve but I'd stay there quite often before hand"

"Why?"

"Aww you know I got board jumped a few fences walk to the manor scale the wall and climb through Draco's window."

"Oh so your..."

"No NO definitely not he's like my big brother, my protecter I suppose." Aryella flexed her fingers and placed them over the keys. She looked over a Sirius and said "do you want me to play something?" She looked so vulnerable, and Sirius was so happy she was opening up.

"I'd listen to you play all day"Sirius says honestly. Aryella gives a short nod closes her eyes and begins to play.

Come on skinny love just last the year,
Pour a little salt you were never here,
My my my, my my my, my-my my-my...
Staring at the sink of blood and crushed veneer.

I tell my love to wreck it all,
Cut out all the ropes and let me fall,
My my my, my my my, my-my my-my...
Right in the moment this order's tall.

And I told you to be patient,
And I told you to be fine,
And I told you to be balanced,
And I told you to be kind,
And in the morning I'll be with you,
But it will be a different kind,
'Cause I'll be holding all the tickets,
And you'll be owning all the fines.

Come on skinny love, what happened here?
Suckle on the hope in light brassieres,
My my my, my my my, my-my my-my...
Sullen load is full, so slow on the split.

And I told you to be patient,
And I told you to be fine,
And I told you to be balanced,
And I told you to be kind,
And now all your love is wasted,
Then who the hell was I?
'Cause now I'm breaking at the bridges,
And at the end of all your lies.

Who will love you?
Who will fight?
And who will fall far behind?

Come on skinny love,
My my my, my my my, my-my my-my...
My my my, my my my, my-my my-my.

Aryella played the last cord and turned to face Sirius.

"Wow that was incredible, did you write it as we'll?"

"Yer I did awhile ago"

"Wow. Your really talented"

"So I've been told"

"You don't like being told your talented"

"Never been good at taking complements"

Sirius cracks a smile and says "Well you didn't get that from me I love complements"

A little smile graces Aryella's face and Sirius thinks to himself 'well this is a bloody good start'.
