It was three weeks after Easter Break had finished. Mia was covering her husband's eyes with her hands. She was making him a surprise, and didn't to look after he was supposed.

"Mia, where are you taking me?" Sirius asked annoyed

"Remember that surprise I promised you before Easter?" she asked him

"Yes"

"I'm taking you to the place where the surprise is"

"Okay"

They walked a few more through the Hogwarts corridors, went up some stairs and Sirius heard a door closing behind him.

"Here we are" Mia said, uncovering her husband's eyes.

"This is McGonagall's office" Sirius stated disappointed

"Yes, it is" Mia agreed grinning "And see that pensieve? It has something for you in there. I was inspired by Lulu's forgiveness technique"

"Hum?"

"Never mind, dive in" she order him "I'll be right behind you"

"As you wish Madam" he told her.

Seconds later, the couple was in a dark room.

"This is your old house, isn't it" Sirius asked, receiving a nod in return.

Suddenly, the door opened and a younger Mia entered along with tall red-headed woman that Sirius didn't recognise.

"Where do you want me to leave this bags?" the woman asked.

"You can put them in the sofa" younger Mia told her. Looking closer, Sirius noticed that she had a baby carrier in her arms "Thank you for the ride, Patricia"

"Don't mention it. And call me Patty, everyone does" Patricia instructed her "Take good care of this little angel", she said, looking at the baby.

"Is that…Izzy?" Sirius asked his wife

"You were sad because you missed a lot of Izzy's life" the older Mia said "So I decided to show you these memories"

"Does Izzy know about this?"

"She offered to give me a few memories herself, but it was not needed" his wife told him.

Back to the memory, Patricia had left and the younger Mia was alone with her baby daughter.

"I guess it is just the two of us now" Mia told Izzy and lift her of the carrier.

Sirius got closer to them and smiled when he saw that beautiful baby girl. She looked a lot like Mia. He assumed that even as a newborn, Izzy only had his eyes and mouth.

"Happy?" his wife asked him

"Very"

"Well, it is not over yet. You still have a few memories left. Not her birth" Mia told him

"Why not?" he asked

"Let's just say that you were not my favourite person at that moment"

"Oh, I get it"

The memory faded and in the next they were in the kitchen.

Mia giving soup to Izzy, who was not more then ten months old "Come on, baby. Mummy is late for work" Mia was asking her daughter who seemed to be more interested in her mother's hair than the food.

Izzy giggled "Mamma" she said.

Younger Mia almost jumped "Did my baby girl just say her first word?" she asked the little girl who kept giggling.

"You know what? Mummy is going to take her afternoon out, so she can spend it with her favourite girl"

"Mamma" Izzy repeated

"Someone is proud" The older Mia said, mentioning her grinning husband.

He looked at her "At least her first word was mamma, not Izzy like Evan did"

"What can I say? He adores his big sister" Mia stated "Maybe baby number five's first word will be Daddy"

In the next memory, Mia and Sirius were back in the living room, who was decorated with a Christmas tree. Izzy must be about an year old Sirius thought

Younger Mia was in the middle of the room holding Izzy's hands, who was standing up.

"Please Izzy, one step, just one" she was begging

"Step" Izzy repeated

"Just one. It will be mummy's Christmas present"

"P'sent" Izzy said. Suddenly, she looked confident and took one step.

"Yes! That's it, Izzy. See? It was one step"

Izzy tried to take another but fell in her bum and stated giggling "Fall" the little girl said.

"At least you took one step" Mia told her and took her in her arms.

"Clever one" Sirius stated

"It was a really good Christmas present" The older Mia told her husband.

The next memory was nowhere inside the house. Izzy was a lot bigger, about six years old. She had dressed a blue uniform and was in front of a school, along with her mother.

"Ready to go in?" Mia asked

"Do I have to?" Izzy asked unsure

Mia nodded, kneeled in front of her daughter and kissed her cheek.

"Be good!" she warned her daughter

Izzy hugged her mother and ran to the school building.

"This was a small memory. Her first day of school" Older Mia explained

"She was nervous" Sirius stated

"It is normal. She didn't go to kindergarten, I took care of her, so she was a little uneasy for leaving me"

A few minutes later, they were in a train station. 'Union Station, Chicago, Illinois' Sirius read from a wall. Mia was walking Izzy to what seemed to be a cafeteria.

"What are we doing here?" Izzy asked

"This is not a regular cafeteria, it has repealing charms for muggles. See that door?" Mia asked, pointing to a huge metal door "It is the passage to platform 21, muggles don't know it exists, that is where your train is waiting"

"Really?" Izzy asked

Mia nodded. They opened the door, and found a platform crowded with people.

"Platform 9 ¾ is so much better" Sirius said

"That was what I was thinking" the older Mia agreed

"It leaves in five minutes, let's put your trunk in there" the younger Mia suggested

After the trunk was in the train, Izzy hugged her mother tightly "I'll miss you"

"I'll miss you too" Mia told her "I'll write every day"

"I'll write twice a day" Izzy said back. They broke the hug and Izzy got in the train. She kept waving from the window, and the memory faded.

They were back in McGonagall's office.

"Liked it?" Mia asked

"Loved it" he told her

---

After they left the head mistress' office, they decided to go to the kitchens, to have lunch. When they already by the entrance hall, they bumped in someone.

"Watch out!" the person said

Mia looked closer and saw who it was "Barbara Lowe?"

"Well, well. Mia Davis and Sirius Black. How's life going?" Barbara asked bitterly. She had long black hair and dark brown eyes.

"Great. Specially since I got married" he tried to mark the word married

"Who's the poor soul? I've got to send her a card telling how sorry I am"

"That would be me" Mia answered

"Mia, got fatter lately, didn't you?" she asked

"She's pregnant, not fat!" Sirius corrected her

"What are you doing here, anyway?" Mia asked her

"I came to visit my husband, he teaches here" Barbara declared

"And who would he be?" Sirius asked

"Ned Remington, of course. We got married in one week before Easter"

"Never in my life I thought I would pity Neddy. I guess I was wrong" Sirius told Mia

"Not even he deserves such an horrible fate" Mia agreed

"Oh, I can't stop laughing" Barbara said sarcastically. The students started to leave the great hall, from lunch. "Romilda, dear" Barbara called

"Hello mother, I didn't know you were in here" Romilda Vane greeted Barbara

"I came to visit your step-father" she turned to Sirius and Mia "I hope we don't cross paths soon"

"I hope we never cross paths ever again" Mia stated

After Barbara and her daughter left, Sirius turned to Mia "Damn! The bitch is back"

"And brought reinforcements" Mia agreed "Apparently being a snob runs in their family"´

Izzy approached them along with Monica and Derek "Who was that woman with Romilda?"

"Barbara Lowe, I mean, Remington" Sirius told them "Romilda's mother"

"You know her?" Monica asked

"Unfortunately" Mia mumbled "She was a Slytherin in our year"

"By the way, Izz" Sirius told her "You were such a cute baby"

"You already saw it?" Izzy asked

"Saw what?" Derek asked

"I'll explain you later" she told her friend "What did you think of it?"

"It was great" Sirius declared

"I'm starving, enough chatting" Mia demanded, pulling her husband in the kitchen's direction.

"Okay, okay" Izzy said, lifting her arms in surrender "Let's go, we have permission to spend this afternoon in Hogsmeade"

---

After Monica and Derek abandoned her in order to go snog, Izzy decided to spend the rest of the afternoon in the Tree Broomsticks. Unfortunately, George was absent from Hogsmead that afternoon because he was visiting Fred's grave. It was the anniversary of his death.

Izzy was reading a magazine absent-mindedly, when someone called her "What are you doing here alone?"

She looked up and saw Harry, Ginny and Teddy standing in there.

"Hey" she greeted the couple "Monica and Derek are making out. George is busy. So I was left by myself this time"

"Nonsense" Ginny said "We'll sit in here with you"

"Aren't you on a date or something?" Izzy asked

"Nope, we just had a free afternoon and decided to come to good old Hogsmeade with Teddy" Harry informed his god-sister, while he and his wife sit next to her "How are things on Hogwarts?"

"Good" Izzy told him "However the exams are coming. I shiver just by thinking of it. Oh, by the way, your stalker is around here with her mother"

"What stalker?" Ginny asked, putting Teddy in her lap.

"Romilda Vane" Izzy answered

"She's with her mother?" Harry asked

"Yeah, she came to visit Ned Remington, her husband"

"Remington got married to Romilda Vane's mother?" Ginny asked

"Yep"

Madam Rosmerta approached them "Good to se you Harry, and Ginny. Is this Remus' boy?"

"Yes, that's him" Harry confirmed

"What will you order?" she asked

"Two butterbeers and … what do you want Teddy?" Ginny asked the boy

"Pumpkin!" he answered

"A glass of pumpkin juice for him" Ginny ordered

"Hum, more butterbeer Isabelle?" Rosmerta asked

"No, thank you Madam Rosmerta" Izzy politely refused and the barmaid went to get their orders "Back to what we were talking, it turns out that Romilda's mother was in school in mom and dad's time and was no a miss congeniality at all"

Madam Rosmerta returned with their drinks and left them in the table. "Then she's perfect to Remington, he's not exactly a very nice guy" Harry commented.

"Toilet" Teddy asked

"I'll take you there" Ginny said, getting up "Follow me super-boy" She leaded the boy to the bathroom.

"How's old Padfoot?" Harry asked Izzy

"He's the same, never changes" she declared "Everyone at home has him wrapped around their finger"

"Believe me, he changed a lot since I met him" Harry told her "I never pictured Sirius Black as the family man. Speaking of family, Fleur had her baby this morning"

"Really? In the anniversary of the battle?" Harry nodded "What was it?"

"A girl. They named her Victoire Appolline Weasley"

"Appolline?" Izzy asked making a face

"After Fleur's mom. Anyway, we call her Tory" Harry informed her "George's idea"

"And what do we have here?" an annoying voice asked. They turned to see Rita Skeeter standing there with her quick quotes quill floating next to her.

"What do you want now?" Harry asked extremely irritated.

"Does your know that you are in a bar with another woman? I didn't expect you to start cheating in your wife this soon" Rita insinuated. Meanwhile, the quill was writing furiously.

"Cheating in Ginny? With me? Gross!" Izzy said

"Oh, you think you are too good for Harry Potter?" Rita Skeeter asked.

"No, she's my godfather's daughter" Harry said "This girl, Isabelle Black, along with Hermione Granger, is the closest thing to a sister that I have. That insinuation is sickening"

"What's going on?" Ginny asked when she arrived from the bathroom with Teddy in her arms.

"Ginny Potter" Rita stated "What do you have to say to the fact that your husband was on a date with another woman?"

"Date? Are you nuts?" Ginny asked, fighting hard not to laugh "We were having a drink with a friend. I was just taking our godson to the bathroom"

"Oh, protecting your husband's reputation, I see" Rita continued.

"Okay, that's it!" Ginny snapped "Harry, why don't we owl Kingsley. I heard he was very interested in insects, specially beetles"

"Er…maybe this story is not as appealing as I thought" Rita said nervously "I thing I'm going now" and she ran of the pub.

"What the hell was that?" Izzy asked, not understanding what just had happened.

Ginny sat back with them and put Teddy in Harry's lap "Rita Skeeter has a secret, a secret that we happen to know"

"What is it?" Izzy inquired curious

"She's an unregistered animagus" Harry explained "A beetle"

"Oh! Now I get the insect talk" Izzy said "Too bad my dad registered himself, it would be some blackmail material" Izzy wandered "Did you really mean that sister thing?"

"What sister thing?" Ginny asked

"I told Rita that Izzy and Hermione are the closest thing that I have to sisters" Harry informed his wife "And it is true. You, Hermione and even Mandy are my borrowed sisters. Like Alex and Evan are my borrowed brothers. And so will be your new sibling"

"What about my brothers?" Ginny asked

"They are my brothers-in-law, Gin. I can't borrow them as my brothers. By law they already are" Harry explained her "Now, who's up for a visit to Hogwarts?"

"More like a return" Izzy mumbled "Let's go"

A/N: As I was deathly bored, I decided to post one more chapter. Plus, I had an explosion of inspiration. So, cause I was so nice to update earlier, review. Just so you know, I wrecked my keyboard for writting so much, so I had to take over my godbrother's to finish this chapter.
