Thanks for the reviews you guys, I always enjoy reading them! Unfortunately the poll is now closed and the decision is made for The Goblet of Fire, I will tell you guys when that year comes into play. I can't wait for my Homecoming dance and I hope I get to write the amazing Yule Ball very soon, I'm highly impatient for it. But enough about me and onto the new chapter I wrote just for you guys!

Scarlett nerves were racing as she saw her felon of a godfather in front of her, in the flesh, and probably wondering how to kill her and Harry before they ever got the chance to destroy Voldemort. Scarlett couldn't move she was so in shock and despair, she couldn't think it was just too much. Scarlett finally gained the courage to speak to the man that sold her parents to the Dark Lord just to save his own skin.

"If you want to kill Harry you'll have to kill us to." Hermione interrupted Scarlett when she was about to speak.

"No, only one will die tonight." Said Sirius.

"Then it'll be you!" Scarlett yelled, she raised her wand in the air and yelled the incantation "PHOENIX FEATHER FURY!" She suddenly transformed into her Phoeonoxis warrior outfit with her wand pointing directly at Sirius. Harry took this time to tackle Sirius and point his own wand at, in the face of the felon, Sirius Black. Sirius started laughing at Harry for his defensive nature.

"Are you really going to kill me, Harry?" Sirius joked

"No, but I will." Scarlett interrupted, replacing the wand for one of her magical blades and placing it on Sirius' neck. She was about to murder the man who betrayed her parents when Lupin stormed in.

"Expelliarmus!" he yelled as Harry's wand flew from his hand, "Scarlett! Put your blade in its scabbard and move away." Reluctantly, Scarlett placed the sword back in its place and stepped back from the murderer.

"Well, well, Sirius. Looking rather ragged, aren't we? Finally the flesh reflects the madness within." Said Lupin

"Well, you'd know all about the madness within, wouldn't you?" Sirius retorted. In a strange turn a=of events, Lupin helped Sirius up to his feet as if they were very close friends.

"Let's kill him." Sirius said in a whisper to Lupin, Scarlett was not happy with this conclusion.

"No! I trusted you! And all this time you've been his friend!" she accused the grown men in front of her.

"He's a werewolf, that's why he's been missing classes." Hermione interrupted, Scarlett acknowledged it with a nod.

"How long have you known?" Lupin asked suspiciously

"Since Professor Snape assigned the essay." Hermione replied.

"Well, Hermione you really are the brightest witch of your age I've ever met."

"Enough talk, Remus! Come on, let's kill him!" Sirius interrupted. Lupin and Sirius argued for a while before Lupin finally relented.

"Very well, kill him. But wait one more minute, Harry and Scarlett have the right to know why." Lupin said.

"I know why. You betrayed our parents. You're the reason their dead!" Harry said

"No Harry it wasn't him. Somebody did betray your parents but it was somebody who, until quite recently I believed to be dead."

"Who was it, then?" Scarlett said harshly.

"Peter Pettigrew! And he's in this room right now! Come out come out, Peter! Come out come out and play!" Sirius said in a maddening voice. Just then the wand Lupin gave Sirius flew out of his hand and Scarlett saw another person she didn't want to see today: Snape.

"Vengeance is sweet. How I hoped I'd be the one to catch you." Snape said in a sickly glad tone. Oh I am so busted, thought Scarlett; she knew she was supposed to lay hidden with her transformations due to power hungry foes in her near future.

"Severus-" Lupin started but Snape interrupted him. He and Sirius began to ridicule each other as if they were teenagers fighting over who was "bigger". Scarlett was incredibly confused as to what was going on around these two full grown men who were quarreling like schoolboys. Scarlett saw that the two lighten the argument as soon as Snape saw Scarlett, in her Phoeonoxis form. He narrowed his eyes but stopped immediately as her puppy dog green eyes stared at him.

"Come Miss Scarlett." He said sternly.

Scarlett's old habits came back to her when she said, "Yes Father Snape." She said softly.

Sirius narrowed his own eyes on Snape, "So you would steal James' daughter away from him to teach her to be as misguided as you."

Snape ignored the comment "After you." He told Sirius and he turned to Harry to tell him to come along as Scarlett saw a slight softness in Snape's eyes. Harry instead grabbed Hermione's wand and stunned Snape with it.

"Harry are you mental?" asked Scarlett

"You attacked a teacher!" yelled Hermione.

Harry demanded that Sirius and Lupin tell him about Pettigrew. Sirius explained that he had been in hiding as a rat, and that the rat was Scabbers. Ron refused to give up his beloved pet, but Sirius grabbed the rat from him. Scabbers tried to run away from the spells directed towards him until finally one of the men finally got him and he turned into a scraggly looking man that twitched like a rat.

"Remus, Sirius! My old friends!" Pettigrew said in cheer. Scarlett was quite outraged that this was the man who betrayed her parents, I mean look at him, he looks like a homeless man in Diagon Alley, thought Scarlett. The man turned to Scarlett and Harry and approached to them quite closely.

"Harry! Look at you; you look so much like your father. Like James we were the best of friends you know." He turned to Scarlett, "Oh a dear Scarlett what a fair face you have, resembles your mother so much, she was the sweetest thing to me you-"

"STOP!" Scarlett yelled as she wandlessly pushed him away with the red energy she had in her. Sirius grabbed Pettigrew off the floor.

"How dare you speak to them! How dare you talk about both Lily and James in front of them!" Sirius yelled

"You sold Lily and James to Voldemort, didn't you!" Lupin accused to Pettigrew

"I didn't mean to. The Dark Lord. You have no idea the weapons he possesses! Ask yourself, Sirius! What would you have done?"

"I would have DIED! I would've died rather than betray my friends!" Sirius yelled. Pettigrew tried to make a run for it when Harry stood in front of the doorway Pettigrew was trying to get out of.

"Harry, James wouldn't want me killed! Your dad would have spared me! He would have shown me mercy!" Pettigrew whispered in Harry's ear. Sirius and Lupin grabbed Pettigrew and prepared to kill him.

"You should have realized, Peter, that if Voldemort didn't kill you, we would. Together!" Sirius said. Harry took this time to speak up.

"No!" Harry yelled shacking everyone in the room (besides Snape; he was unconscious). Lupin sighed and spoke to the boy.

"Harry this man-"

"I know what he is. But we'll take him to the castle." Harry said nobly

"Bless you boy, bless you!" Pettigrew groveled at Harry's feet. Harry kicked Pettigrew off almost instantly as if to avoid a disease.

"I said we'd take you to the castle. After that the dementors can have you." Harry said boldly. Pettigrew whimpered at hearing this. Scarlett placed one of her blades on Pettigrew's neck.

"Better not make a run for it, I'm fast you know." She challenged him.

Sirius began to laugh laving Scarlett bewildered. "She sounds just like James!" he blurted. Scarlett smiled at her godfather something she would not think would ever happen in a million years.

The group decided now was the time to leave the Shrieking Shack. Lupin was struggling behind trying to keep Pettigrew in his sights as Sirius was helping Ron walk due to the fact that Sirius bit his leg a little bit too hard. Scarlett was beginning to enjoy her godfather; he was very funny and lighthearted. The only thing she didn't like about him was the way he had treated Snape back there in the Shrieking Shack. She didn't want to leave her paternal figure in that room but it was for the best he would probably be very pissed when he woke up anyway. When the group finally made it outside Sirius placed Ron on one of the Whomping Willow's roots and began to walk away. Scarlett followed him to where he was standing as Harry tending to Ron and his wound. Sirius smiled at the girl and she smiled back.

"Sorry for what I was about to do to you in there, Sirius, if I had known… I wouldn't have tried to kill you." She admitted to Sirius.

"Brilliant transformation though. Remus told me what you are back there; a Phoeonoxis didn't know they still existed."

"Yeah guess I'm the only one." She said softly.

"Father Snape, huh?" he asked suspiciously.

"He was the only father figure I had growing up in life, I just stuck with the name because he would look out for me." Scarlett said looking into her godfather's eyes.

"Hmm you seem like Lily when you say it like that. You know she was friends with old Snivellus for a time; he adored her presence until a time came when justifications were made. You know you remind me so much like your mother but so much like your father at the same time, your real father, I mean."

"I know I would prefer my real one than a paternal figure."

"I would hope so, Snape a paternal figure itself sounds, ugh." Sirius faked a cold chill. Scarlett nudged her godfather as they both laughed at him. They stopped laughing and looked at the grand majesty of Hogwarts castle at night. Harry joined them giving a quiet hello to his sister.

"Beautiful isn't it. I'll never forget the first time I walked through those doors. It'll be nice to do it as a free man." Sirius said to both of the Potters, he turned to Harry, "That was a noble thing you did back there; he doesn't deserve it."

"Well I just think that my dad would have wanted his best friends to become killers." Harry replied

"Besides, dead, the truth dies with him. Alive, you're free." Scarlett said wisely. They were interrupted by Pettigrew's desperate pleas but they ignored it.

"I don't know if you know you two, but when you two were born, James and Lily both made me you two's godfather."

"Yeah we know." Harry said

"Well, Harry, I can understand if you choose to stay with your aunt and uncle but if you ever wanted a different home."

"What? Come and live with you?" Harry asked

"Well it's just a thought, I can understand if you don't want to." Sirius said but was quickly interrupted by Hermione. She pointed at the sky and a full moon came from beyond the black clouds. Lupin started breathing rapidly and that's when Scarlett knew, he was transforming into a werewolf. Scarlett and the other children stood away from Lupin as Sirius tried to help him. Pettigrew found Lupin's wand on the ground and picked it up and aimed for the two men. Harry shot the wand out of his hand and Pettigrew formed into a rat scurrying away. The next thing they knew Sirius was blown back from Lupin who was now a werewolf. Hermione went to see if he was truly a werewolf but he replied with a death curdling howl. He approached the children with a lust for killing in his eyes when Snape finally showed up with the most furious face at Harry. Scarlett took this time to shield Snape from the claws of the beast about to strike her "father". Instead the claws jabbed her stomach making Scarlett scream quite frighteningly. She was thrown on the root near her knocking her out. Snape ran over to her immediately. He frantically tried calling her name, but she never responded. Scarlett knew she was dead.

Oh cliffhanger! Remember to READ and REVIEW!
