This one is kind of blah too. I am just trying to get to the main story plot... Bare with me... This one goes by pretty quickly too. I love the third book, but I can't really draw it out. All the important stuff is at the end.

Disclaimer: I do not own Harry. Even when he is Ivy. Or Stella.

Draco and Ivy spent all summer grounded due to their stunt in the Chamber of Secrets. They were banned from their brooms, not allowed to go over to friends, and made to help the house elves. Among other things. Ivy could not say when she had a more boring summer, but knew better than to complain. That would just make things worse.

But the summer did not end well regardless. Draco and Ivy came in one morning to find Lucius and Narcissa listening avidly to the WWN on the radio, their faces pale and taunt.

"-was the first ever break out from Azkaban. Muggles have been notified that he is about, and carrying a weapon known as a gun. Sirius Black is highly dangerous and should not be confronted. Contact an Auror on sight." the announcer was saying.

"Who is Sirius Black?" Draco asked. The two older Malfoys exchanged dark looks and motioned for the children to sit.

"Sirius Black was my cousin." Narcissa explained. "And best friend to James Potter."

Ivy felt her mouth go dry.

"He joined the Dark Lord during the war, secretly. I never even knew he was a Death Eater, nor did many others that I talked to." Cut in Lucius. "But he... well..."

"He was your parent's Secret Keeper." Narcissa finished. Ivy felt very dizzy suddenly, even though she was sitting down. She had heard of Secret Keepers before, and knew that the job entailed exactly what the name dictated: as long as a Secret Keeper kept quiet, a place or object could never be found.

"So... he betrayed my parents." She said softly.

"I am sorry darling. But yes."

When school started again, it seemed almost as bad as the year before. The Dementors that were sent to watch the school rendered Ivy unconscious on the train, which was a great source of mirth to the Slytherins and embarrassment to her. But it gave her the motivation to learn the Patronus Charm from Professor Lupin, especially after they made her fall from her broomstick fifty feet from the ground.

Her new classes, Arithmancy and Ancient Runes, where just as hard as they sounded. Professor Snape was lofty as usual, and Ron and Hermione both complained non-stop about Divination. Ivy looked forward to the Winter Break by the time the end of term came close. But she received a rather unpleasant surprise while at the last Hogsmeade trip of the year. She was with her brother, Ron, Hermione, and Neville at the Three Broomsticks for a butterbeer when they overheard a conversation with several of the teachers, Rosmerta the pub owner, and the Minister of Magic himself, Cornelius Fudge. They explained to Rosmerta about the Secret Keeper business, and then how he blew up a muggle street, killing thirteen people. And then came the biggest piece of information. Sirius Black, notorious murderer, betrayer, and Death Eater had been her godfather. It was enough information to make Ivy feel sick. Her anger at her aunt and uncle for not telling her lasted quite a while.

However, it came to light at the end of the year that Sirius had not been guilty at all. Peter Pettigrew had been the Secret Keeper, leaving Sirius to be the decoy and take the fall. Peter had then hid for twelve years in his animagus form of a rat as Ron's pet Scabbers.

Ivy and the others had been out to see Hagrid on the night of Buckbeak's execution (which had started when Pansy had gotten scratched earlier in the year) when Sirius dragged Ron away to the Shrieking Shack where the truth came out. Professor Lupin had backed up his story, having followed when he saw the scene take place on a magical map he confiscated from the twins. The truth was almost hindered by the appearance of Professor Snape, who was to blind with rage to really listen. Ivy understood. Believing a murderer was a difficult thing to do, especially one you did not like in the first place. So it was with some regret that she and the others stunned him. Then Pettigrew was turned back into a man, and their journey to the castle began. Everything would have been fine, had it not been for the full moon. During the resulting scramble for safety, Neville sprained his ankle and Draco was thrown up against a rock, rendering him unconscious. Hermione passed out while she and Ivy tried to save Sirius from the Dementors. Ivy soon followed her, awake long enough to see a strange apparition on the other side of the lake.

When she woke up again, she came to realize that their adventure was far from over. After a little hint from Dumbledore, Hermione revealed her Time Turner, which they used to rescue both Buckbeak and her godfather, who was awaiting the Dementor's Kiss. In the meantime, Ivy also saved themselves, by casting the Patronus that had saved their lives earlier. It created some sort of time loop that she prefered not to think on since it made her head ache.

Just before Sirius flew away, Ivy pulled him close and whispered an address in his ear.

"You should go there after two weeks." She said. "I will be there."

Sirius looked confused, but promised he would meet her there, and flew away into the night.

The two weeks gave Ivy and Draco enough time to get home and explain what happened to Lucius and Narcissa. Needless to say, they were grounded for another two months. But they agreed to hear Sirius' story, under Veritaserum, before contacting the Aurors.

So when exactly two weeks had passed, a bedraggled and shocked Sirius showed up to the Malfoy Manor and was interrogated. When his story was verified, Lucius took the serum as well, and explained just how he had been a spy, and how they had taken care of Ivy.

"I just can't believe it." Sirius said in awe.

"Well, it was difficult to believe that you were innocent." Narcissa said. Sirius gave out a bark like laugh.

"I suppose that is true. Nothing is what it seems, is it? The whole world has gone on its head since I've been out last..."

"It has at that. But look at me, prattling on!" Narcissa exclaimed. "We prepared a room for you, one of our elves can take you to it so you can clean up. There will be fresh robes in the wardrobe. And while you are doing that I will have something cooked up for you, you are skin and bones."

"I-I can stay here?" Sirius asked.

"Of course!" Narcissa said. "Family is family."
