Chapter 21 Sirius

After hearing what Janie had told him, Sirius sat there shocked. Then, the anger overtook him. If he thought that he had been angry before, it was nothing compared to this. There was only one other time that he had ever been this furious before, and that was the night that Lily and James had been murdered.

Even though he had only met Janie, he loved her. After all she was his daughter and love automatically came with the package.

He want to hurt John McKaily. No, he wanted to kill him. How dare that muggle hurt his daughter. How dare he lay one finger on her. How could she have handled years of physical and emotional abuse and still be as good as she was. He had seen how hard it was for her to tell him though. She obviously did not like to think about it, let alone talk about it. He looked over at Janie. Her head was still in her hands and she was now crying. The anger left him. Now all he felt was the need to comfort his daughter. He walked over to where she was sitting and sat down beside her. He brought her into his arms and hugged her, she leaned into his chest still sobbing.

"Shh…" he whispered, "you don't have to worry anymore. He'll never hurt you again."

She cried until she fell asleep in his arms.
