Kiki's POV

I woke up screaming in a dark room. I had no clue where I was or what was tangling my legs, and I was terrified. Suddenly, the door flew open and Sirius ran inside.

"Kiki, it's all right, you're safe," he consoled me as he sat down and wrapped me in his arms. I was trembling and I felt a tear fall down my face. I noticed that what I was tangled in was the sheets on my bed. MY bed. I was home.

"How?" I asked weakly.

"Dumbledore," Sirius replied.

"And Harry?"

"Safe. He actually was the one who saved you from being crushed by the chandelier," Sirius said.

"Good. What time is it?" I asked.

"Six in the morning."

"Oh. I want to go see Lily. Can you grab my coat for me?" I asked as I swung my legs off the bed. All of a sudden, a wave of nausea overcame me.

"Oh no you don't. You need to stay right here. Dumbledore's orders," Sirius said sternly. Then he smiled, "Besides, everyone is here already. James and Lily have been living with Mariam and Aiden in order to stay close by."

"Living? As in for several days? How long have I been out?!"

"About two and a half days. We've been worried sick!" Sirius informed me.

I moaned and slumped back on my pillows. After making me swear up and down that I wasn't going anywhere, Sirius left the room. About five minutes later, everyone rushed into my room and started hugging me and asking me how I was feeling. All except Harry. He came last, with a bandage around his head, leaning heavily on a cane. He stood in the doorway and waved at me. I gestured for him to come over.

"Hey, don't just stand there! You're supposed to be excited about me waking up!" I teased. He laughed and walked over to us. I gave him a one-armed hug, then he sat next to Caroline. "Uh, guys? I love how you're all here, but my room isn't really big enough for ten people. Can we PLEASE move to the living room?" I joked.

Sirius looked reluctant to move me, but he obliged by half carrying me to the couch in the next room over.

We talked about what had transpired after my "daring and heroic," as Aiden put it, rescue. Apparently, Sirius had hardly left my side, and he had slept on my couch for the past two nights. Harry had a minor concussion, a black eye, and some light bruising on his ribs, but he was recovering just fine. Finally, I asked the question that had been weighing on my mind for the past hour.

"Why me? The Death Eaters kept on acting like I had some great secret that they were trying to force me to tell, but I have never done anything or been told anything that would prove useful to the Death Eaters,"

They all stayed quiet, and no one seemed to want to answer. Finally, Jules sat down next to me and gently told me everything. I was stunned.

"A...a sister? I had a sister? and Mary? But..." I looked at Harry, and he sadly nodded. "Why didn't anyone ever tell me?"

"Because I know you. You would have either been crushed by the news that another family member of yours had been taken from you, or you would have done exactly what she did and go searching for revenge. Also, Mary..." Jules trailed off as everyone turned to Harry. He was staring at the sun rising outside my window. There were tear tracks on his cheeks.

"But I'm not powerful! I can't even beat James at hex wars!" I complained.

"Well, yeah, but that's because it's me," James joked.

"I don't know, Ki. You handled those Death Eaters at the store pretty well," Lily pointed out.

Before I could retaliate, Sirius interjected. "Nonetheless, Ki. You aren't safe on your own. I want you to move in with Caroline and Jules. They already agreed, and we all think it's for the best."

"No." I said stubbornly.

"This isn't a negotiation. You need to move," Harry piped in.

"I'm not going to live in fear for my entire life because of the Death Eaters!" I exclaimed.

"Ki, you can't stay on your own. It's not safe!" Sirius implored me.

"Then why don't you just move in here?" I suddenly asked.

That left him speechless, and he was totally shocked. "Do you want me to?" He finally asked.

I rolled my eyes. "No, Sirius. I was just making polite conversation." I playfully pushed him, "Of course I'm serious, idiot!" I teased.

He smiled, "Well then. I guess I'm moving in."

The entire group exchanged glances as if to say, "Finally!"

I smiled, and started to laugh, but then a fresh wave of headache hit me and I groaned. Sirius took one look at me and frowned. He then picked me up without a warning and carried me back to my bed.

"Sleep." He ordered.

"Whatever," I replied with a smile. Seconds later I was passed out, and I dreamed about a girl who looked just like me, laughing as she watched Harry chase me across the grounds of Hogwarts after I had stolen his hat.
