Chapter Three
Sirius, You Turncoat!




A few days later on the WWN (Wireless Wizarding Network) Marian heard it announce that Sirius Black had killed Pettigrew and that he'd also betrayed the Potters. 'What a turncoat,' Marian thought, furious and ashamed of her son.


*~*~* *~*~* *~*~*

Marian, Charles, and Daphne went to see Sirius put in Askaban. Sirius stopped at his mother and begged to hold Daphne, but Marian would not let him touch her.

"If it wasn't beneath you to betray and kill some of your closest friends, then it wouldn't be beneath you to harm your own daughter. You probably betrayed Eleanor too, killing many innocent people!"Marian yelled. " You were never on business for Dumbledore, you served You-Know-Who the whole time!"

"Mum, please believe me, I didn't betray James, or kill Peter! Please, mum, believe me!" Sirius pleaded as the dementors pulled him away. Marian just shook her head and walked away, fuming.

years later-

Daphne Black woke up one summer morning, and an owl flew in the window. She grabbed the letter on its leg, and opened it excitedly.It was her Hogwarts acceptence letter!

Daphne dressed quickly and rushed down to the kitchen. Her grandmother was cooking breakfast at the stove. " Nanna, its my Hogwarts letter," Daphne said, bouncing up and down.

"Congratulations, Daphne. Your parents would be proud,"Marian Black said, and made a fist remembering what her son had done, and where her daughter-in-law was because of him.Then a tear slipped down her face.
