When he asked, Kagome jumped at the chance to make her father's wand. She went every day to Professor Dumbledore's office to get as much information on Sirius as she could. About his days in school, about his training as an Auror. About his time as a member of the Order of the Phoenix. She wanted to know what type of fighter he was, what his strengths and weakness were. By the time she finished talking to Albus, she knew exactly what type of wand to make him. All she needed was to get in touch with a certain Japanese Minister and ask him for a hair. She and Lord Sesshomaru had gotten quite close after the whole Feudal Era thing. So, it didn't take long for an owl to arrive with a silver hair and a letter stating that only for her would he do such a humiliating thing and that her father better appreciate it.
Kagome worked tirelessly in the back of the shop picking out and shaping the wand she was going to gift her father when she met him. She decided that along with the Daiyoukai's hair, she would add some protection sutras infused with her spiritual powers. She wrote them down and wrapped Lord Sesshomaru's hair around it. Using the spell her grandfather taught her to bind the wood to the core, Kagome began to bind the two pieces of wood to the core. Once they were whole, Kagome said a prayer over them and the wand was engulfed in a bright light activating the sutras inside. Once she was finished as an extra precaution she carved sutras into the wood. Once she was finished she went picked out a box and took the wand home with her. Upon arriving, Kagome went into her grandfather's study and showed him the wand, Garrick examined it closely.
Ebony, 15 inches slightly yielding, and what is the core, I can't identify it?" Garrick asks.
Kagome blushed, The hair of a Daiyoukai, Grandpa."
How did you get a hold of such a rare hair?!"
"I asked the Japanese Minister of Magic, he's a good friend of mine, and is, in fact, one of the last remaining Daiyoukais in Japan."
"You know Lord Sesshomaru?" Cecilia asks
"Yes, he's the one who personally signed my license to use the curses that the British Wizarding World classifies as Unforgivable."
Garrick and Cecilia were stunned, they had no idea that Kagome knew such influential people. Garrick continued to examine the wand, "What else did you add to the wand?"
"Protection sutras that I blessed with my Miko powers, to give my father double protection. Headmaster Dumbledore said that my father could be rather reckless, so I want to make sure he's protected at all time. Then I carved more sutras into the wand itself for even more protection, this wand will never work for anyone but him."
Garrick was very impressed, he puts the wand back in the box and hands it back to Kagome, "You did an excellent job, Kagome, your father will be very pleased. It's a very powerful wand for your first wand. If you ever decide you don't want to be a healer, you would make a fine wandmaker."
"Thank you, Grandpa, I can't wait to give him the wand, but I guess I'll have to wait for Sirius to decide when he wants to meet me."
It only took Sirius a few days to come to grips with the fact that he had a daughter, and he quickly made up his mind that he wanted to meet her before she started school. If possible, Sirius wanted her to stay with him until the school started. Sirius asked Remus to tell Albus and ask him to bring Kagome to him. Remus agreed and left for Hogwarts.
Remus floo's to Hogwarts, he finds Albus at his desk reviewing some papers. Albus looks up and greets Remus.
"Remus, it' good to see you, by any chance are you here with word from Sirius?"
"Yes, I am, Albus, Sirius would like to meet his daughter, what was her name again?"
"Kagome."
"Yes, Kagome as soon as possible. He would also like to know if she would like to stay with him until school starts, that is of course if it's alright with her grandparents."
"Well, I can certainly ask them, but I get the feeling that it will be just fine with them and with Kagome."
"Good, then we'll wait to hear from you as to when you can bring her by."
"I shall go right this minute and ask Remus, I'll owl you to let you know specifically the time."
Remus nods, and leaves. Once he's gone, Albus floo's over to the Ollivander residence to talk with Kagome and her grandparents. Kagome and the Ollivanders agree that two days from now they would all go to meet Sirius. That would give Kagome and her grandparents enough time to discuss whether or not she wants to stay with her father.
"I think it should depend on how your first meeting with him goes. If it goes well and you're comfortable with him, then you should stay with him. If not, you can visit him every day until school starts." Garrick suggests.
"I agree with your grandfather."
Kagome nods, "Okay then we'll do it like that, but I'll pack up my things into my trunk, just in case."
Her grandparents agree.
Once the arrangement has been made, Albus goes to Grimmauld place to tell Sirius. He is so happy and nervous at the same time, he looks around the house and realizes that it needs a lot of work, so he calls for Kreacher.
"Kreacher!"
"Yes, Master Sirius, blood traitor."
Sirius rolls his eyes, "I need you to clean the spare room on the second floor the one next to mine, the one with the bathroom. I want it to have fresh linens and all the dusk gone. Then I want you to work on the rest of the house, we're having a guest, I hope."
"Is Master Sirius inviting the blood traitor Weasleys to stay?"
"No, My daughter may be coming to stay with us, and I'm warning you Kreacher, I will not tolerate you being disrespectful to my daughter in any way, is that understood."
"Yes, Master Sirius, Kreacher will not be disrespectful to the blood traitor's bastard."
Sirius lunched for Kreacher, but Kreacher popped out of the room before Sirius could get a hold of him.
So, two days pass and Albus show up at the Ollivander house to retrieve, Kagome and her grandparents. Kagome shrinks her trunk and puts it in her purse along with her bow and yellow backpack. She goes downstairs to meet her grandparents and Dumbledore in her grandfather's study.
"Hello, Headmaster," Kagome greets with a smile.
"Hello, Kagome are you ready to go?"
Kagome bites her bottom lip, she takes a deep breath and lets it out slowly, "Yes, I'm ready."
"Ah, Kagome before we go, I got you a gift actual two gifts," Garrick tells Kagome.
"You didn't have to get me anything, Grandpa."
"No, I didn't but one of these things was already promised to you,"
Garrick turns to Cecilia who hand him a white box, he hands the box over to Kagome. She opens the box to discover her mother's wand shrunk down and placed on Goblin made a gold chain. Garrick explains that the chain will never break and can never be removed by anyone other than Kagome herself. Kagome puts the necklace on and holds the wand to her heart.
"We also got you this, Fonly, you can bring him in now."
Fonly walks into the study with a cage, inside the cage in a beautiful Northern Hawk Owl. Fonly sets the cage on the table, and Kagome squeals when she sees the bird. She opens the cage, the bird looks Kagome up and down, then step out of the cage. He flies over and lands on her shoulder, and begins to eye the other people in the room suspiciously. He turns back to Kagome and nips her ear affectionately.
Kagome walks up to her grandparents and hugs them both, "Thank you so much for the necklace and for the owl, he's perfect. I will cherish both of them forever."
"You're welcome, Kagome, when I saw him at Eelop's Owl Emporium I knew he was for you."
"A fine owl and a beautiful necklace, what will you name him," Albus asks.
"I'm going to name him Yasei it means Wild in Japanese. The only thing is how will I get him to my father's home, he can't floo with me."
"Just set him loose, I'll give him the address and he'll meet us there," Albus tells Kagome.
As if understanding Yasei flies over to Albus and waits. Albus tells him the address and the bird flies out the window. After that, Kagome shrank his cage and put it in her purse. Now that it was time to go, it was decided that Albus would go first, then her grandparents.
So Albus takes some floo powder and throws it into the fireplace, he announces in a clear voice, "Number 12 Grimmauld Place." And steps through.
Her grandparents follow his example and disappear. But Kagome hesitates, she takes a deep breath and says a quick prayer, "Please like me," Then she does the same thing and steps through.
One the other side Sirius is pacing the floor, "They're late, they're not coming, Moony."
Remus looks at his watch, They're not late, Padfoot, you're just being anxious. Don't worry they'll be here any minute. Suddenly they hear the fireplace roar to life, both men look at each other, but neither man moves.
"Go on, Sirius, go meet your daughter."
"You're not coming?"
"No, I think this should be between family."
"You are family, man, don't make me do this alone."
"You're a big boy, you can handle it, I'll meet her once the introductions have been made. You need to do this alone, Sirius."
Sirius nods, "Wish me luck."
"Good luck," Remus says with a smile.
Remus walks out into the living room to find Albus, and the Ollivanders there, he goes up to Albus first and shakes his hand, "Albus how are you?"
"Very well, Sirius, you remember Mr. Ollivander?"
"Yes, of course, how could I forget?"
Sirius goes to shake Garrick's hand put the older gentlemen pulls him into a hug, "Sirius, my boy, you may not have married Grace like you wanted to but Cecilia and I will always consider you family."
Sirius hugs him back, "Thank you, , and I'm sorry for your loss.
Garrick lets go of him and nods, Sirius moves on to Cecilia, who also embraces Sirius, "Thank you, Sirius, Grace may be gone but we still have a part of her in this world thanks to you."
Sirius' eyes fill with tears and he clears his throat, "Where is Kagome, anyway?"
"She'll be along shortly," Cecilia says.
Just then the fireplace roars again and out step Kagome. Sirius turns around and looks at her, his mouth drops open and he steps forward.
"You look like your mother, except with my eyes."
Kagome smiles, "Really, most people say I look like you. Hello, Mr. Black, it's nice to finally meet you.
Sirius stands there staring at his daughter, he can't believe that he helped create such a beautiful girl. He walks forward and takes her hand, "It's very nice to meet you, Kagome, please call me Sirius."
Kagome nods and shakes his hand, then on impulse, she pulls Sirius into a hug. Sirius immediately wraps his arms around his daughter, as tears begin to spill from his eyes.
"I'm so sorry, I didn't know about you." He whispers.
"I know you didn't, you have nothing to apologize for, I've had a good life, Sirius. My adoptive family loved me and treated me as their own."
"Yes, but you should have been with me when your mother died."
"Sadly that wasn't possible, Sirius, but you're here now and that's what counts," Kagome tells him as she pats his back.
Sirius pulls away and smiles, "You're right, we're together now and we have a lot of time to make up for."
At that point a shrilled voice can be heard from the hall, "So my blood traitor son, sired a bastard daughter, how typical. And you still couldn't get it right could you, boy. You had to have a half-blood bastard child, You are a disappointment through and through." The portrait of Walburga Black said as the curtain that was covering her portrait was "mysteriously" pulled aside.
Kagome pulled her head from her father's shoulder and looked around, "What was that?"
"That would be your dead grandmother's portrait, don't pay any attention to it." Sirius said in an irritated tone."
Kagome looks at her father, "Can't you just take it down and destroy it?"
"No, unfortunately, it's enchanted to stay on the wall."
Kagome smirked, "Can I take a look?"
"If you want to?"
Kagome and Sirius walked into the hall where the portrait is, Walburga eyes Kagome and Sirius."
"Mother this is your granddaughter, Kagome."
"Filthy half-blood is no granddaughter of mine," She says.
"Well, technically I'm 3/4 blood, considering that my mother was a half-blood and my father is a pure-blood."
"I don't care, you're not pure and you're the bastard daughter of my good for nothing son!" the portrait yells.
Sirius pulls Kagome behind him, "I will not let you insult my child like that you old hag!"
"THEN GET HER OUT OF MY HOUSE!" The portrait screams.
Sirius pulls out his wand to send an incendio at the portrait, knowing full well it won't work. But Kagome stops him, she steps out from behind him and stands in front of the portrait.
"You're an evil thing, aren't you?"
Walburga smirks.
"Well, the only way to deal with evil things is by purifying the evil out of them, so…"
Kagome lets her spiritual powers flow into her hands, she takes a step forward and places her hands on either side of the portrait. She then lets her spiritual powers flow from her hands into the portrait.
Walburga looks around at her painting that is glowing pink, "What are you doing, Child?"
"Getting rid of a great evil in this house," Kagome says as she starts to glow pink.
Sirius stands there with his mouth open as the portrait of his mother begins to melt, Walburga screams in the portrait as slowly she melts and the picture frame turns to dust. Once she's finished, Kagome wipes her hands free of the dust and looks at her father.
"Well, that's been taken care of."
"How did you do that," Sirius asks.
"It's a long story."
"I think we have some time," Sirius says with a grin as he puts his arm around Kagome's shoulders, and leads her back into the living room.
