Chapter 2

Aura quietly got up out of bad and went to make breakfast. She felt like it would be different now, and that Mr. Black wouldn't hurt her like her relatives had.

One thing she'd never told anyone, because it would only cause problems with her relatives was that she was an empath (she'd looked the term up in the library). She could sense others emotions, personalities and because of that she could tell when they were being truthful or when they meant harm. Mr. Black truly cared for her, and he meant her no harm. Though his emotions whenever the Dursleys were mentioned...They'd better watch out.

She started getting out ingredients for omelets. By the time Mr. Black stumbled down stairs, she had a complete breakfast laid out on the table. She'd taken notice how much Sirius had ate the night before and adjusted the amounts accordingly.

"Good morning, Princess. You know you didn't have to make breakfast,"

'Good morning, Mr. Black. Yes, I know I didn't. I wanted to. I like cooking.'

He blinked sleepily as he read her response before his eyes widened in surprise as he read what she'd called him. "No 'Mr.' stuff. Sirius, Siri, Padfoot, He- um, even snuffles. No Mr."

'Yes, sir.'

"Or sir," he added

'Okay.'

They dished the food up, she'd made the omelets with peppers, onions bacon milk and cheese, shredded hash browns and toast.

"Okay, I managed to get an appointment at Merlins' Healers to get you a check up. That's going to be first."

She nodded her acknowledgment, and gave no arguments. Though she was nervous. The Dursleys had told her horror stories about people who became Doctors, and though she always labeled the stories as just that, stories, the way Dudley always cried whenever they took him made her think... But then if they were so horrible why did they make their precious 'Diddykins' go? she always asked herself, trying to be reasonable. It still accomplished exactly what they wanted though. She became quite the little actress, and rarely did anyone notice that she was in pain.

Sirius might have noticed something, she thought, but more than likely it was just as he said. A checkup. Yea.

He transfigured some of his clothes for her to wear for the day. It was a simply outfit, just an emerald green tank top and a black knee length skirt. When Sirius saw the bruises littering her upper arms, he transfigured a black button down shirt for her to wear over it. She noticed how his face darkened, but knew it wasn't directed at her.

His car, she learned, was a car charmed with magic. It had several different options on it, one of which was something Sirius called a 'portkey', and would take them to any pre-programmed destination, like teleportation. It could also be shrunk, so instead of parking it he would shrink it and pocket it.

She soon found out she much preferred driving or walking to the portkey, and informed Sirius of this. He laughed as he said, "Yes, quite a few witches and wizards fell that way."

She also saw that it was a good thing that his car didn't require parking, as there wasn't a place to park it. There was a single space that had what looked like a red light, except it had words; Next arrival in 5 minutes, was what it said then. Sirius led her inside the hospital, and up to the front desk where they where greeted with a young friendly witch.

"Yes, My goddaughter has an appointment with Healer Michaels."

"Yes, she's already waiting for you, She's on the second floor, first door to the left of the staircase."

"Thank you."

Sirius had Aura's hand in his, and when they got to the stairs picked her up without a problem.

"Morgan?"

"Sirius! And this must be Aura. I'm Healer Morgan Michaels, just call me Morgan. Its so wonderful to meet you," the woman was petite, only stood at 5ft, and had shoulder length honey blonde hair french braided back, and warm chocolate brown eyes.

Aura smiled. She liked this woman, she was nice and open. Her empath abilities showed her to be exactly what she showed on the outside, no fake stuff like her relatives.

'Hello, its good to meet you, too.'

Morgan smiled warmly, and directed Sirius to sit Aura on the hospital bed.

"Now, I'll start with a general scan. You won't even feel it."

Aura allowed her to do as she said, and Morgan told her exactly what she was going to do before she actually did it. Morgan cast several charms and diagnostic spells, making notes as she did so. She then directed Aura to the bathroom, and told her to change into the gown that was hanging on the door. Aura did as she was told, knowing the woman was going to do something about the bruises and cuts on her arms, backs and butt.

Sirius Pov

"Siri...She's been beaten, several times, and badly. She's severely malnourished and even with the help of potions she probably won't ever reach the proper height for her age group. Also, some of my scans were blocked. It was several different types, so I can't say for sure what she was shielding, but I believe she was doing subconsciously."

"What types?"

"I used a charm to check for past injuries, but it wouldn't show anything she wasn't currently suffering from. Not even obvious stuff, like the scar on her right hand that looked like a stove top burner."

"So, you only got her currant injuries?" Sirius asked to clarify.

"Yes."

"What else?"

"I checked for any blocks on her magic, and she has several ruff shields blocking about 75% of her magic."

"What would you suggest we do?"

"I'll be able to heal most of her currant injuries now, and what's left will be taken care of with a single potion with her dinner tonight. The malnutrition will take a bit longer, but a potion at breakfast, Lunch and dinner, and all balanced meals, for a month will help. Also regular snakes throughout the day wouldn't go amiss."

End Sirius Pov

Aura came back into the room in the hospital gown. It was simple, white, with a slit opened in the back. She didn't like it, but it was better than being naked. And, even Though she'd only known Sirius less than a day, and Morgan less than that, she trusted them, and even with her empathy to help her judge peoples intentions, she didn't trust easily.

"Alright, first I'm going to rub This into the cuts on your back. Its called 'Cut Cream', and will help close up those wounds, alright?"

Aura nodded, and stayed still as she felt the Doc-Healer rub the cream into her back. She'd expected it to be cold, but it wasn't. It was a few degrees above room temperature.

Next Morgan rubbed 'Bruise Salve' in her back and arms. It wasn't cold, either, but comfortable hot.

"Now, I'm going to do a simply charm on your hand. It will mend it as good as new." Morgan took Aura's hand, and the girls eyes widened as the pain she'd been felling in her hand went away. With that realization, she also realized that the pain in her back also went away, except for the few spots she knew had been really bad, and even those were considerable less noticeable, more like a light bruise or scrape then the agony she'd been hidden whenever she'd moved before.

"Now, Aura, I didn't find anything medically wrong with your voice, but several of my scans were blocked. Do you know if there is something wrong with your voice, or do you simply choose not to speak?"

'Choose. I think I can speak, but...'

"It's alright, Princess. You don't have to, unless you want to," Sirius reassured her.

"That's right. You can talk when you are ready, not a moment sooner. Now, I'm going to send some Bruise Salve and Cut cream home with you, and tonight before bed, I want you to let Sirius put it on, alright?" Aura nodded her acceptance. "And finally, this is called a nutrient potion. I want you to drink one before breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Sirius, you are to make sure she does. And I want to see her again in two weeks time, just for a check up."

"Aye, Aye ma`am."

After that they went back downstairs, but instead of using the car or the car's portkey they used the Floo network. The Floo network was another way of wizardry travel, apparently one used a fireplace that was connected to the network to travel to another connected fireplace.

Merlins'' Healers, according to Sirius, only had theirs connected oneway, you could leave, but you couldn't enter.

"Safety measures. Merlins'' has a lot of patients who are either rich or famous, and those patients Apparate the privacy that the secured Floo pervades. Only those who have permission, and there for a security word, can program a portkey, and apparition is strictly prohibited. Nobody without clearance gets through, which keeps out the reporters and any potential threats to the patients. The staff are also top notch, and know how to keep their mouths shut. St. Mungos is good, but not nearly as secure," Sirius explained as they walked through Diagen Alley.

He took her first to Gringotts, where he got her a card to access his vault. When she started to protest, he said, "I know you have your own vault, but Its not only my duty as your guardian to provide for you, but I also want to spoil you. The cards only for emergency, you shouldn't ever have need for it."

'But- Wait, I have my own vault?'

He laughed at her shocked expression, "Yes, your parents were both well off, and provided a trust vault for you if something every happened to them. Its not meant to be accessed until you're 16, and you'll have full access to all of your family vaults when you turn 18."

Okay, then. Aura thought, and she was to shocked to put up further argument, so she pocketed her new wizard's debit card. Later she would think 'What was the man thinking, putting an unlimited access debit card in the hands of an almost 11 year old?' Then she realized that he wasn't going to give her a reason to use unless it actually was an emergency. Everything that she even took a second look at was put on order to be shipped home.

He took her to be fitted at Madame Malkein's, though on her suggestion only ordered 5 outfits, to wear until Aura gained a normal weight. He then took her to Florish & Bolts, where they picked up the Hogwarts First years pre-packaged bookbags, which had everything that would be on her list, which would be arriving in a couple of days, according to Sirius, but since everyone but the first years received theirs at the mid-July all of the shops were already prepared for the students.

After that he took her to get a trunk from 'Travelers' Friends'. Aura had to make a conscious effort not to gape when the shop keeper gave the two a tour of the trunk. But really, a tour would be needed. It had 12 compartments, even Sirius nor the shop keeper could think of anything she might put in the last two compartments, and Aura hadn't even thought what she would put in the last 10. She had only thought of separating her clothes and books. Sirius, though insisted she would need at least 9 compartments for her clothes (a separate one for underwear, pas, shirts, pants robes and so on). The trunk was also feather light, no matter what she put in it.

Aura lost the argument, and Sirius bought her the trunk, and they left a very happy shop keeper there to make another sell. Sirius then took her to Ollivander's, to buy her wand.

"Hello, Mr. Black. I remember your wand-"

"Yes, I know. We're here for Aura's wand."

"Ah- of course."

They were there for awhile. Aura, evidently was difficult to match to a wand, Ollivander seemed delighted, as she went through every wand he had in the front of the store. He almost skipped back to the back of the store bringing out a wand in a clear glass case. It was a gold color, and it started glowing brightly as soon as Mr. Ollivander entered the room.

Aura carefully picked it up and she felt a spark just as all three heard a beautiful song.

"Amazing. I didn't think I'd ever find who the wand would claim. That, my dear, is a very special type of wood, that is often used as a core itself. The wand has Three cores, Phoenix tears, a grown unicorns tail hair, and Dragon's blood, willingly given. I must say it will be interesting seeing what impact you will have on the Wizadring world."
