Harry woke up to find the room deserted all for Sirius who was sleeping restlessly.
Sirius was back. He breathed a sigh of relief.
Just then the door opened. The girl Harry had seen a few times was there. She was holding a small goblet. She paused when she saw him watching her.
"Feeling better?" Her voice rose slightly in an Irish lilt.
"Yeah, a bit."
"Good." She helped him sit up.
"What is your name? I've seen you before."
"Course you have. I am a year behind you. Your friend Ron, his sister is my best friend. My name is Cassiopeia Black. But just call me Cassi. Everyone does."
"You're Sirius's daughter?"
"Yep. He's got two little boys too and a third on the way." She smiled.
"He gets around." Harry smiled over at his godfather who was now muttering in his sleep.
"Yeah." She watched him sleep, then turned back to Harry.
"Drink this. It'll make you feel better." She helped him drink the foul smelling potion.
"Thanks." He shivered as the potion began to work.
"You'll sleep now." Cassi told him.
He tried to ask her something but he sank into a deep dreamless sleep.
The last few month of summer passed quickly. Snape and Hagrid were both off, doing something for Voldemort.
The Alliance against Voldemort was reinstated . The old members were told of Sirius's innocence and excepted it with minimal suspicions. Fudge returned several times and each time was turned into some random type of rodent by James and Remus. Eventually he didn't come back. Ron and Hermione were soon heard from as soon as they got Harry's letters.
Dear Harry
How on earth did your parents come back?! That is like impossible. But I can't wait to meet them.
I hope you and Sirius are both feeling better. And yeah I did know he had a daughter. Mum told me after she saw him last year. She said she came into the infirmary to see Sirius when you were sleeping.
And Ginny said she is surprised she didn't talk to you before. She knew but promised not to tell.
Fred and George are having a ball about it. They know her and they can't believe she is his daughter. Oh and my whole family knows now. Mum made me explain and Ginny was surprised. She didn't know I knew. And Fred, George, Bill, Charlie, Mum and Dad all believe us. But Percy doesn't. But no one cared. Mum and Dad yelled at him for calling poor Snuffles a traitor! How cool is that! Can't wait to meet your parents. Tell them, Professor Lupin, and Sirius hi for me.
Well got to go
Ron
Dear Harry
Oh my gosh are you alright? When I heard you were sick, I couldn't believe it. And Sirius too. Very odd though, the both of you getting sick at the same time.
And your parents came back? That has got to be weird. I thought nothing could bring the dead back. But I do have a theory.
I didn't know Cassi was his daughter. I knew her. She is in my ancient runes class last year. Had a talent for them. She was tied with me for head of the class and I had a year on her. I knew her last name was Black, but I didn't know she was his daughter. Does Sirius have any other secrets we don't know about?
Well, I do hope you are feeling better. Too bad you can't come to Diagon Alley this year. How are you getting your things?
Oh well, I must go. Mum's calling
Love
Hermione.
Harry was introduced to Mari, Addi, Jamie, Remy and the rest of Sirius's small family.
He loved the babies. They suited their names. Jamie was loud and demanded attention every second while Remy was quiet and seemed wise beyond his baby years.
Little by little Harry and Sirius regained their health back. Madam Pomfrey watched them both with vulture like eyes.
And soon it was time for school to start again.
James and Remus were to go get Harry's things in Diagon Alley. Cassi came with them.
"It really hasn't changed has it?" James asked.
"Does it ever? " Remus asked with a small smile. James stopped to stare at the new Firebolt in the window. Remus shook his head. No, some things never did.
"Professor Lupin?"
Hermione ran up to him, her arms full of books. Ron was right behind her.
"Ron, Hermione. It's good to see you. How have you been?"
"We're fine, but how are Harry and Snuffles?"
"They are fine." Was what he started to say, but James's laugh interrupted him.
"Snuffles? Where on earth did he come up with that?"
"Why don't you remember?" Remus gave him a sly smile. James thought for a minute then began laughing harder than ever. Remus grinned and soon joined him. Hermione and Ron looked on confused as their old teacher leaned on the wall for support.
"Sorry." He said when he stopped.
"Yes, they are fine. Sirius is getting very grumpy and has tried to sneak out about four times. And Harry is getting very bored and has joined Sirius in setting off numerous firecrackers in the infirmary, much to the dismay of Madam Pomfrey."
They laughed.
"And Lily, Addi, and Mari are going berserk trying to keep up with the twins."
"Lily?" Ron asked. "Harry's mum?"
"Yeah. And this as you might have guessed is Harry's dad. James Potter." James stepped out of the shadows where he had been standing and they saw him.
"Wow. You really do look like Harry." Hermione gasped.
"yeah, except for the eyes." Ron said.
Then they noticed Cassi.
"Hey Cassi."
"Hi Hermione."
"You are Sirius's daughter?" She asked.
"Yes, I am."
"Wow." Ron started to say.
"Ron!" Mr. Weasly called.
"Coming dad. We have to go, but tell Harry we said hi. And say hi to Sirius for us." Ron told them.
"We will.' Then they were gone.
I know, I know too short. But I have no school tomorrow so I'm gonna put the next part out then. And I will this time!
Sorry, I've been sick. Icky flu.
Anyway, nothing belongs to me. Disclaimers really suck.
