A/N Poor, poor Marrisa. She has such a hot temper. *hint, hint* At least hint hint if you haven't yet figured it out, but I'm sure you have. *grins*




Hidden Secrets




Marrisa gave a sharp jolt and sat up really fast, causing her to hit her head on the backbord of…a bed?
She slowly forced her eyes open and saw Hermione, Ron, and Harry entering the hospital wing. She turned her head and saw Remus Lupin sleeping, his head was stuck on a page in a book he was trying to read, and, it looked like, fell asleep while doing so.

"Marissa! Your awake!" said Ron happily.
"Yup, but how long have I been out of it?" Marrisa asked them.
"Er…three days." said Harry hesitantly.
"Oh, cool! So tomorrow is, um, our little trip?" she said excitedly.
"Yeah, happy?" asked Hermione, grinning at Marrisa.
"Uh-hu!"
"No, I mean about Remus sitting there non-stop. He even called a substitute in! He didn't sleep 'till yesterday, and has been asleep ever since. Dumbledore asked someone to stay with you and Remus said he would."
"Why would Dumbledore do that?" asked Ron slowly, and again looking at her weirdly.
"I dunno." Marrisa answered tersely , looking nervous.
"Ahh, so your awake Miss Issoac. How are you feeling?" Remus asked her, smiling.
"Well enough." she said, hesitating for a moment.
"I see." said Remus, frowning slightly.

They talked for a few more minutes then left. Marrisa watched them leave. 'This is why I shouldn't have friends, they always figure it out. Then they'll avoid me like the plague. Which I am of course.' she thought. She smiled slightly and knew she wouldn't be able to knock these guys off before they found out.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~On the way to Sirius's Cave~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Are we almost thre? I feel tierd enough without all this" said Marrisa, losing her temper.
"Yes, Marrisa. No need to get snape-y like, my dear." said Remus shaking his finger in her face.
Marrisa growled and glared at his finger, then said "Do that again, Remus and I'll bite off your hand." she said, extremely pissed off-sounding. They all laughed and the cave was in view.
"Pleasant place, eh?" said Ron and Marrisa in usion.
"Got that right." Harry.
They entered and saw a ragged man with black eyes and hair looking at them. Then his face split into a grin.
"Remus, Harry, Ron, and Hermione! Great to see you again!" he said happily.
"Hello!" everyone yelled back.
"And this must be Marrisa!" he said looking at her. Then his jaw dropped, and he went pale.
"Sirius, whats wrong?" Harry asked, looking concerned.
"Clarie! Remus, don't you remember? CLARIE!" Sirius said, almost in tears.
"Ohmigod!" Remus yelled, in shock.
"What was your Mum's name, Mar?" asked Harry.
"Clarie Issoac. Why?"
Sirius looked at her, astounded. Remus realized what looked so familier, she looked exactly like Clarie. But she had Sirius's smile and most of his personality.
"How d'ya know my Mum?" she asked, then it dawned on her.
"Exactly." said Hermione "What are you guys talking about?"
"Marrisa here is Sirius's daughter." said Remus in a dead voice.
Then Sirius's feet collapsed out from under him. Marrisa went over to him to help him out. They were about the same height, Marrisa reached his eyebrows. So she was about 5'11, and they both hugged.
He turned toward her slightly, then said "So you're my daughter then?'
"I guess so."
"You look just like your Mum." the man said, a tremor in his voice.
"Thank You."
"Yes, and your name isn't Marrisa, its Sirina."he said, grinning at the look on her face, it reminded him of himself.
"No its really Lily." said Sirius "Lily was sick while you were being borning, so we named you in her honor."
"No kidding." she said, smiling.
They teased each other for a while, then Marrisa made her way back up to the castle.
