(*Updated)

During her break she really wanted to visit the orphanage so she asked Headmaster Dumbledore if she could visit at least one day to give gifts. He said it was fine as long as Remus dropped her off. She said goodbye to her friends the next day with hugs and laughs but kept having a nagging feeling about the school, but Hermione kept telling her everything would be fine. This didn't help Serenity feel any calmer as her mind kept going back to her parents.

Serenity especially didn't know how to face Sirius after that last incident, even though she got to talk to Godfather Lupin. Well it was the only day in her her break that she could visit her orphanage trying to make the most of her visit. She brought gifts of special candy, none with any magical surprises, and little knick knacks she got and placed them under the tree for everyone. She every brought Valiant with her as all the new kids swarmed around him to play with him, making them all instantly like her. Though she just came back for a day, she already started to clean around, helping the sisters with cleaning and cooking.

Serenity was in the kitchen making some cookies as she heard a bark outside. She peered through the little window to see Valiant playing with the kids.

"Aren't you going out?"

She turned to see Thomas Greeny, a boy two years older than her, standing by the counter looking at some of the cookies that were done.

"In a little bit and don't eat those yet, they're still hot."

Thomas was like an older brother to her as she looked to see him eat one.

"Mmm~ It's better when they're fresh out the oven."

"Just be careful!"

"Geez you sound like Sister Marian."

"Hey!"

They laughed as she finishes up the rest of the cookies and started to clean the dishes.

"So how's the school?"

"Pretty good, a lot of studying though."

"That's good..."

"Thomas? Is there something wrong?"

"...Well...I heard from the sisters that someone's going to adopt me..."

"Oh Thomas that's great!" Serenity gave him a hug as he gave a weak smile.

"Yeah...And I was wondering...If you want to come with me."

She stared at him a bit baffled by what he said as she whispered softly,

"Excuse me?"

He gently took her hand and looked at her in the eyes with a smile on his face.

"You've always thought of me as your older brother and wouldn't it be great if we were in a family together?...I don't want to leave you behind."

"Thomas...That's so sweet but...I haven't told anyone this but I found someone at my school that's I'm related to."

"Serenity. That's amazing!" He picked her up in a bear hug, twirling her around as they laugh together. He placed her back down but he still kept hold of her as he whispered in her ear,

"That's great...That's just great."

"Thank you Thomas...And I hope you're happy with your new family."

"Thanks, but remember you're always family."

"Promise?"

"Promise."

They pinky swore to each other before they got the cookies ready for everyone while there was one person who was still sour at the orphanage, especially since Serenity came back.

Bobby Johnson watched as the two laughed together in the kitchen. He was a slim kid that was the same age as Serenity. He had greasy brown hair and plain mud brown eyes. He hated those two for being the "good kids." They were nothing but goody two shoes in Bobby's eyes, and for Serenity being nothing more than a freak! He knew something was up with her and thought it was unfair that a freak could go out to a prestigious boarding school. Now Thomas got adopted while Bobby hasn't had a single glance from an adult for years while other always looked at Thomas. The only reason why Thomas waited so long was that he let the youngest leave first.

Nothing but a suck up if you asked me.

He watched them turn with plates full of cookies while Bobby hid behind the door.

"Come inside everyone! The cookies are ready!"

The kids all ran in, including Valiant as the sisters walked in with laundry baskets in their hands. They all smiled as Serenity and Thomas gave away the cookies to each kid. A few of the younger ones sat by Valiant as he laid down by the fireplace, keeping nice warm.

Everyone sat around the living room as one of the sisters got the christmas tree set up while letting the children place on the ornaments on it. Serenity and Thomas helped the kids by holding them up to place the ornaments a bit higher as there Valiant let the younger kids sit on his back to reach.

One shyly came up and tugged on Serenity, making her turn and smile at him. She went down to his eye level as he asked nervously,

"Um…I wanna 'ut 'his up on the twee."

Serenity giggled as she ruffled his head and gently held him on the waist so he could place another ornament around the top part of the tree, making him laugh with glee. Thomas then let one of the youngest girls go up on his shoulders to place the angel on top.

"Time to turn the lights on dears."

Sister Marian soon turned off the lights of the living room and plugged in the christmas lights, making every yell with excitement.

Bobby stood there bitterly as he quickly left the area to go in his own private room. He slammed the door and locked it as he opened up a notebook to start writing.

"…Freak…Freak…Freak!"

He muttered down as he scribbled down the words in his book. He knew what she was…He knew she wasn't normal. His mind kept festering as if something was clawing him from the inside. He wrote in big letters in his notebook one word…Before he snapping his pencil.

WITCH

Serenity would have loved her stay longer, but soon the next day came as a knock came from the front door. One of the sisters went over to the door,

"Oh my! Well it's a pleasure to see you again Sir! Oh Serenity! Come here."

She quickly walked out stopped to see Remus Lupin at the door.

"I'll get my bag."

She turned but already saw Thomas holding it with Valiant next to him. Remus glanced at the handsome muggle boy give Serenity a quick hug,

"You take care lil sis…"

"You too Tom…You too…I'll send you a letter as much as I can."

"Promise you'll visit?"

"Of course."

Serenity smiled as she nodded. All the kids came to the front, except Bobby, as she walked back out to give the sister a quick hug before leaving. Remus gave her his jacket since it was cold out, noticing she wasn't wearing one. He took her bag in one hand while holding out the other to hold her hand.

"Bye everyone."

"Bye dear, take care!"

She have to them all before taking Remus' hand to walk back to school, with Valiant trotting next to them.

They walked for awhile in silence as she felt a small tension in the air. He looked at her as he lead her to a back alley with no one around. He held his arm out as she looked at him, suddenly she saw a jolt of a vision,

"...I refuse."

"You must speak to him."

"...Why?...I-I'm not ready..."

"Serenity...A man who's right now a criminal just found out that his only close living relative is alive...How would you feel if you were in his shoes?"

"I...Alright...I'll see him."

She gently took his arm, while holding onto Valiant, she felt the rush of apparating. She winces as she felt her body was being stretched. She gripped onto him tightly as she suddenly felt cold snow beneath her. They were in front of the gate to the shrieking shack. She looked at the shack and took a deep breath as she walked down with Remus. When they reached the front door, remus flicked his wand to clear their footsteps as they walked in. Suddenly they could hear a yell,

"Remus! That's you isn't it!"

"Yes Sirius I'm here!" Remus placed a finger over his lips to indicate Serenity to be quiet. She felt knots in her stomach as they approached the door. Remus entered inside first while she stayed hidden in the shadows behind the door.

"You ass! How long were you going to hide from me!"

She heard a bang as Remus had a strained voice,

"I never hid, I was busy... "

"I don't know anything! You just blurted out that I have a niece when both of my brothers are dead! And the one with a child died "

"...It's not true."

Serenity walked out to face Sirius as she saw the shock filled his eyes. He stared at her and whispered,

"Impossible..."

She came a little closer as he saw what she wore. She wore a dark blue unbuttoned cardigan that was too loose on her petite body. She had a cream tank top under it with a simple smooth necklace chain with a single pendant of what it looked to be a star with a green gem, which was a gift from hermione. Serenity held Remus' jacket in her hands as she looked at Sirius, feeling a bit better with Valiant next to her, eyes alert at Sirius.

"I'm their daughter."

"...No...Jonathan wrote to me saying he named her Alice...I never had a chance to see her because she died of a disease..."

"Sirius...Their daughter's full name is Serenity Alice Aragon, Amelia picked the name Serenity while Jonathan picked Alice.. They wanted to add the Black family name, but didn't to make sure Voldemort or any of his death eaters could find her. Just look at her, she's even wearing that sweater your brother would wear. The one that Amelia would use as well...Remember? Or has Azkaban made you forget what they looked like? Made you truly mad."

Remus tried to urge him but Sirius kept staring at Serenity as he came closer. He hesitantly touches her face and looks at her.

"...You...Your eyes…Amelia's eyes…But…When you smile, that look…The look Jonathan used to give me…You're so much like them yet I was too blind to not see it."

His grip on her cheek got a bit rougher as Serenity saw the tear roll down his cheek. She slowly lifted her hand to wipe it away.

"...They wanted to tell you but it was to protect me...Please understand Sirius."

He suddenly hugs her in a warm embrace as tears rushed down his cheek.

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry i couldn't protect them, I couldn't protect you! Forgive me...Forgive me child!"

"There's nothing to forgive...Because we found each other..."

She held onto him tightly as her tears rushed down as she heard him whisper one thing repeatedly,

"I'm sorry...I'm so sorry."

"So you were at St. Luminous this whole time?"

"Yeah...The same place my dad went…Um, Remus? Could you hand me my bag?"

He held it out to her as she reached in to take out a letter and handed it to Sirius. Sirius slowly opened it with hesitant fingers, finding a letter from Amelia and Jonathan.

Dear Sirius,

When you get this letter is when you've finally find out about my daughter. I'm sorry for not telling you her name, and what really happened to her. But in all honestly, how could you have been in such a state? I got a vision of you in tattered clothes, haven't been eating! How could you?! Promise that you will not only take care of my daughter, but you as well. I've always thought of you as a brother and that fact that you are in this state upsets me greatly…Please, Jonathan and I love you so much, so please take care of yourself…

We're sorry to leave such a heavy burden on you, but I knew what would happen to me. At least this way I can trust that you and Remus will still be around to watch over my little girl…Forgive us for not telling you, and personally forgive me…For not saying good bye…But we'll always be with you.

-Amelia

Sirius,

I assume when you receive this letter is when Amelia and I are gone and the only legacy left of us is our child…Sirius, if only I had more time. I want to tell you how thankful I am to have you as my brother. Though I was born a bastard, the proudest moment I've ever had of being a Black was finding out that I was related to you. Unfortunately I had to leave you early with my wife. She told me what would happen to you and I know, though you had a rough road in life, that you will still give the best care to my daughter.

…I really wish I had more time, but…I don't… Please protect my baby girl in my stead. Though we won't see each other anymore, at least remember me through the memories we had and through the eyes of my daughter…

Good bye Sirius.

-Jonathan

Sirius went quiet as he slowly sat on a dusty cushion chair, with Remus and Serenity standing by the foot of the bed. After a while he handed the letters to Remus to let him read as Sirius got up to sit on an old chest. Serenity moved to sit next to him and gently grasped his hand,

"Sirius?"

"…I never got to say good bye…"

Remus stood quietly after reading the letters before he placed a hand on Sirius' shoulder. Sirius and Serenity's eyes were still slightly red from crying but they still were able to talk calmly.

"Huh?"

"What your parents wrote to me…I never got to say goodbye to them…"

"…What was your last memory of them?"

Sirius leaned back slightly so that his back was against the bed, his eyes going a bit soft as her reminisced,

"…It was about a week before you were born, and I kept asking them what you name would be."

Sirius sat in Amelia and Jonathan's living room, pacing back and forth. He kept glancing at Amelia's large stomach as he asked,

"Will you tell me now?"

"Nope! We're still picking a name."

Sirius turned into dog and started to whine, placing his head on Amelia's lap. She laughed as she scratched his head, especially behind his ear, making him bounce his leg up and down with his tail waging furiously.

"Still no."

"Oh come on Amelia…How about I give him part of her name."

Sirius barked in approval at Jonathan's suggestion as she smiled,

"Fine…But I want to tell him her full name when he actually sees her."

"Alright…I chose the name Alice."

Sirius turned back into his human form and sat casually on the floor, hearing James and Lily come in.

"Ah! Just in time! They told me her name is going to be Alice."

"Sirius!"

Amelia swat him on the shoulder as he gave out a hearty laugh. Lily looked at Amelia,

"What?! You haven't even told me her name yet!"

"Don't be mad, Jonathan gave up the name he chose to for her after seeing Sirius beg."

James chuckled as she pulled Lily into his arm and kissed the top of her head.

"Well what name did you pick for her Jonathan?"

"I picked Alice."

Lily gave a smile of approval while Sirius looked at Amelia,

"Are you sure you don't want to tell me her full name?"

"Later Sirius…When you're ready…"

Sirius looked back at Serenity and sighed,

"You mother gave that look as if she knew something I didn't…With Voldemort and his followers at the time I was busy on the clock with orders from Dumbledore. By the time I was able to go see them I found out what had happened to them…"

"So you knew part of my name was Alice then?"

"Yes…But Remus told me you died of a common child disease…So I never looked for you…"

He gently grasped her hand while she saw Remus giving a sad look as well,

"Yes…As I've already told you, I didn't know you were alive until a week or so before I met you. When I found out I was extremely upset at Amelia and Jonathan…But I understood their reasons."

Sirius stared at her for a long time,

"…You have your mothers eyes…Just like Harry got Lily's."

"But she has her father's brown hair with a touch of her mother's. She even has Amelia's laughter…But when you smile Serenity, you have Jonathan's smile."

"I'm glad…When I was younger I used to look at a mirror, hoping that I was looking at my parents…Both of them."

"Yes, you got a bit of the Black family face structure in you, especially in the cheekbones…You've also got their spirit…Your father was a gentle, good hearted man. He didn't like to participate on pranks, like Remus here, but he sure knew how to make a good plan and with your mother next to him. Those two were unstoppable, especially when it came to work in the Order."

"Really?"

"Oh of course. Your father would have been considered a genius during his time at school, and of course had the same good looks at me." Sirius gave a chuckle as Remus gave an amused grin, making Serenity give a soft giggle as Sirius continued on.

" He was an amazing spell caster with speed and agility, very quick thinking. Even his potion skills were probably the same as Snivellus."

"Snivellus?" Serenity cocked her head to the side as Lupin said quickly,

"That is a name that we, the marauders, would call Severus Snape."

"That's horrible!" She gasped as Sirius chuckled.

"Ahh the memories…But as I've said, your father never participated on our um…More aggressive pranks. With his personality, he still had trouble of finding the proper direction to go in life, but with your mother at his side it seemed as if nothing could stop them. Your mother's visions helped calculate each movement of the death eaters, and even assisted your father when it came to creating spells and potions...They were a glorious pair but-"

"But it seems that your mother knew what would happen to her and didn't want anyone else to get hurt so she faked your death and she and your father sacrificed their lives to save you..."

Lupin looked at Serenity as she just looked down at the old floorboards.

"…I will say Jonathan did have a characteristics of always wanting to do the right thing, always fair. Your mother, as well as Lily, was one of the most gentlest souls I have ever met with the gifts of many talents. The most important thing is that they loved each other very much and most of all...Loved you."

Serenity felt like another tear should appear but she was so drained there was nothing. She tore her gaze from the floorboards up to Sirius and whispered,

"I always wonder… Do you think I am a daughter they would be proud of?"

"Dear...You're like a mirror of them and they would be so proud."

She slowly moved her arms up to wrap around Sirius' shoulders for a warm embrace as she gave out little sniffles of dried tears, while Sirius gently caressed her hair.

"Thank you for telling me that Si-...I mean Uncle Sirius."

"Of course my dear...Of course...So what is it I hear that this man is your Godfather and that woman Aine your Godmother?"

"Well actually her english name is Eliza but yes Professor Tsukimi is my godmother." Serenity said but Sirius was looking at Remus.

"Now Sirius, no need to get hasty there, you just got reunited with your niece-" Remus tried to say but Sirius slowly stood up.

"Yes, but you failed to mention all this info soon enough, for all you know I could have killed her in the forest."

"You wouldn't ki-, Wait a minute kill her in the forest? When, on earth, did you two meet in the forest?!"

"Hey the question was for you so answer me first, how did you get the title Godfather?!"

"You're avoiding it now!"

Serenity giggled as she watched these two men bicker like they were teenagers again, but as time passed and after they've all talked a bit more it was time to go back to the castle for Serenity. She looked outside to see the sun still out but it was going to set soon. She glanced at the direction of the castle and whispered softly,

"...Harry..."

Sirius came up behind her and gently placed a hand on her shoulder.

"I know..."

"But I must tell him sooner or later."

"We will do it when it's time."

She nodded her head as she noticed Professor Lupin looking a bit pale.

"Professor?"

Remus looked at her with a weak smile.

"Sorry I forgot to take my potion earlier...It seems that I need to take you back early."

Serenity shook her head as she said, "It's fine, I'll just sneak into the castle. "

"Are you sure?"

"Remus, I think it's best...Now go and find a safe place while I take Serenity through the passage to the Whomping Willow."

Remus gave her a hug as he quickly ran out while Serenity walked with Sirius slowly through the passage from the shrieking shack to the willow by the school.

"So how are you feeling?"

Serenity looked up at Sirius to see him staring at her as she glances back down.

"...Happy, drained...Conflicted."

"What's wrong?"

"It's just Harry has the right to know..."

"I know but right now he doesn't know the whole story and you mustn't tell him either."

"I know...But I can see the pain in his eyes…He's better of staying with me in the orphanage that being with his rotten Uncle and Aunt."

"I understand. But please wait a little bit longer and it will all be over."

"There's something else..."

"What is it?"

She stopped as she turned to look at Sirius.

"...After this year I…I want to start the Order again and be a member."
