Italics mean memories.

"SIRIUS, DADDY!"

"It's alright darling Serene, I'll just be gone for a bit,"

"But you didn't do anything wrong daddy!"

"It's alright,"

"BUT YOU DIDN'T DO ANYTHING WRONG!"

No one believes a child; no one cares what we have to think even if what we say is truth. They took him away without remorse, but he's back, he came back.

"My god, what happened to her face?"

"She looks like a punching bag,"

"Why did she even come back, no one wants her here,"

I walked down the hall with people staring at me, at my bruises, judging me. The library was my place of refuge, the books did not judge, they did not whisper or gossip, they were silent. It suited me.

I didn't expect Harry to be here, but he was with his friends. But I knew, I had to give it back to him, it wasn't mine to hold anymore. I walked up to their table and their talking stopped. I unlatched the bracelet from my hand.

"What do you want?" Ron, Weasley I think looked at me disgusted.

"This is yours," I placed the bracelet on the table and looked at Harry directly.

"Yeah right, I don't even know you,"

"It's yours, I've held onto it and now I'm giving it back, it was never mine to hold on to," I turned it around to show the inscription of his name.

"How?"

"It doesn't matter how," I then let out a small smile barely noticeable, and turned away. I gave it back Lilly, there was never a right time, just a when.

"Where did you get it?" I looked up from my book a few days after and saw Harry. "Sirius won't say anything; he just says to talk to you, that the answers will come,"

"Sirius?" I closed my eyes. "Very well, Lilly,"

"Lilly?" his eyes widened. "M-my mom,"

"Yes, and James, when you were born, they gave it to me to look after. I suppose they knew they would have to go into hiding, that they wouldn't make it,"

"Why would they give it to you, you don't even know my family,"

"My mother's name is Ellivia Blackwater, her maiden name, is Black," His eyes grew wide again. "My uncle, Sirius, is the only family I ever want to have. He took me to meet them, your parents. We grew close in the two years I remember, they were my family, and you were my precious little baby brother, or god brother,"

"God brother, but were only related through Sirius,"

"Yes, and as I've said before he's the only family I want. I was little then, I wanted selfish things, but he gave them all to me. He was there when I needed him, he was my real father, not Aleric, he was never a father to me,"

"So you think of yourself as Sirius' daughter?"

"I don't think, I know I am Sirius' daughter, I always have been and I always will be," I closed my eyes and stood. "When Lilly and James asked me to keep hold of that bracelet for you, I felt it was a very important task, I've done what I need to do. There's no need for you to bother me,"

"I'm not bothering you," Harry smiled at me. "After all, you're my god sister,"

"You don't really believe that, Sirius can be your family, but I will never be a part of that happy circle,"

"Who says you can't be, I know last year I wasn't nice. No one was, we didn't get to know the real you, you're not your parents,"

"That makes no difference now," I started to walk out of the common room.

"Serene, it's painful isn't, not having a family? So why don't you let people in," I stopped and looked back to see Hermione, my eyes grew wide as she smiled at me. "Your smiles are really pretty, won't you smile more?"

"My smiles are only-,"

"Only for who Sirius? Remus? Just because they are there now, we can be there now! I want to be friends," I turned stone still, when she came up and hugged me I tensed. I felt, happy, like the four year old I used to be. I hugged her back after a few minutes.

"See, were not all bad,"

"Mum's going to love you," Ron came around and looked at me. "Sorry I was a git,"

"Not a problem I know worse people," my eyes narrowed. "This reminds me, I have something to do to a slimy blonde git,"

"You're not going to hex him are you?" I grinned at Hermione.

"Of course not," I waved a bye and ran out of the common room, looking for a specific blonde. Oh he was going to get it good, rainbow skin should do it for now, or maybe I should make him yell Gryffindor is his hero every time he tries to speak.

"Hey Blackwater, what's your ugly butt doing down here," I looked and saw the blonde I was looking for.

"Oh nothing," I walked away and muttered the spell.

"WHAT IN THE BLOODY HELL!" I dashed off as soon as I heard his scream. I don't know if he's rainbow but he sure was pissed.

I didn't stop until I was safe in the common room, leaning against the portrait breathing heavily.

"Serene, what did you do to Malfoy?" Ron came over.

"Oh you'll see during dinner, and for the next week," I grinned and skipped over to my seat.

"Did you run all the way here?"

"Yes I didn't want him to catch me, he can get mildly angry and fast," I giggled and looked at Hermione.

"We have a room together!" I stared at her before smiling, she was pretty happy about that.

"With who else?"

"Parvati and Padma Patil, but their alright you'll see," I nodded and leaned back on the couch still breathing slightly heavy.

"Who in the bloody hell made Malfoy turn different colors I want to bow at your feet!" I shook my head at Harry and the rest.

"Malfoy's turning different colors?" Ron looked at me; I gave a smug look to him.

"He's a bloody rainbow, it's blinding when it changes," I cursed slightly it didn't work the way I wanted to but it was still funny. I looked up at the two talking and noticed red head twins, probably related to Ron.

"He deserves it, I hope it lasts," Hermione smiled, I shrunk into the couch hoping the twins wouldn't notice me.

"Well, were going to think of a better prank for Malfoy to top our new hero," they left soon after.

"Wow I'm a hero, that's new,"

"Did you mean to do that Serene?" I looked at Harry and smiled.

"Nope, he was supposed to just be rainbow skinned not have it change frequently like a rainbow," I tapped my chin. "I suppose I'll have to fix this spell,"

"You made a spell!"

"Yeah, it's not hard," I shrugged looking around at my new friends; I already felt better being at Hogwarts.
