Chapter one
Harry
walked down Diagon Alley. He was
looking for his godfather Sirius Black.
Despite being cleared of all charges Sirius was still in the habit of
keeping out of people's sight, not intentionally just waiting in less crowded
places and places where Harry didn't think to look. Then Harry saw him, he was talking to Remus. Walking towards him he noticed that Sirius
seemed to be nearly yelling at Remus. As he got closer he picked up on the
conversation.
"I can't
believe you lost her Remus" Yelled Sirius
"I didn't lose her Sirius she just left". Remus
replied.
"I asked you to look after her." Sirius began looking around.
Harry was about to ask who they were talking about
when he heard his name.
"Have you told Harry yet?" Asked Remus seriously.
"No I haven't…and don't look at me like that Remus,
I will tell him"
"Before or after they meet at Hogwarts." Remus began
looking around and then he spotted Harry.
"Harry" he said walking up to him. "How are you?"
"Fine" Said Harry smiling.
"How long have you been stood there?" Asked a
worried Sirius looking around at Remus.
"Not long, who were you talking about."
"No-one"
Yeah, right. Came to Harry's mind, but Remus broke
off his thoughts before he could say anything.
"Have you been to Gringotts yet?" he asked.
"No" Harry replied still wondering who they were
talking about, he wondered whether he should ask again but figured that they
obviously didn't want him to know, yet anyway.
"Ok" Sirius looked down at him. "You go to Gringotts, and meet me at that
new restaurant in say, 2 hours. I have
something I have to take care of then I need to speak to you about
something." With this he looked back to
Remus and they left.
As they
walked off Harry heard them speaking again.
"We have to find her Remus and when we do she's in more trouble than she
has ever been in before."
"That much" said Remus shocked
Harry
walked through the doors of Gringotts bank, headed to the desk and gave the
number of the vault he wanted to enter.
The goblin looked at him piercingly and then took him to the cart, he
got in and the goblin spoke to him.
"Do you mind sharing the ride Mr Potter?"
"Pardon" said Harry confused.
"We have young girl whose vault is right next to
yours, would you mind sharing the ride?"
"No" replied Harry shaking his head.
The
goblin nodded and then left. A few
minutes later he returned and behind him was the young girl. She got in next to Harry.
"Hello" she said looking at Harry.
He'd never seen any girl more beautiful than she
was. She had long black hair, blue eyes
that reminded him of some one, and the most amazing body. She's perfect in
everyway. Thought Harry. He blushed at his own thoughts.
Apparently she had noticed because she to went pink
around the cheeks.
The girl held out her hand. "I'm Megan"
Harry shook it. "Harry Potter" he replied.
"Really, well, pleased to meet you Harry"
With that the cart took off.
After a
few minutes of stomach churning travel the cart came to a stop.
"This is your vault Mr Potter," said the goblin
unlocking it.
Harry stepped in and started putting some of his
money in his backpack. He slung it over
his back and walked out.
He waited a while by the cart but Megan still didn't
come back out of her vault. He moved
closer to her vault and the goblins eyes followed him suspiciously, he waited
by the door.
"Megan?"
"Come in Harry" He stepped in and he couldn't
believe his eyes. Her vault was packed
with about five times as much as Harry's and she had already filled her
bag. Megan was now kneeling down in
front of a large chest.
"Are you nearly done?" asked Harry walking over to
her.
"Yes, can you hold this a sec?" She handed him a
dressrobe.
"Wow Megan, this is really nice." They were
shimmering black in colour and as Harry held them up he saw that they came all
the way down to the floor. She
probably looks amazing in them. Harry thought to himself. Then he noticed the crest.
"You go to hogwarts?" he asked.
"I start this year. I've transferred from a school
in LA."
Megan stood up and took the robes of Harry.
"They were my mother's," replied Megan smiling at
him. She walked out of the vault with
her things and climbed back into the cart. Harry followed. The goblin got in
and the cart took off.
Harry
and Megan left Gringotts together.
"So" said Harry "where have you got to go?"
"I have to get some new robes, a new wand, books and
I'm allowed a animal."
"Well I have to get some new robes and some new
books, so do you want to shop together?"
"Sure" replied Megan and they headed for Olivanders
wand shop.
"Try
this one Megan" Mr Olivander handed her yet another wand.
Megan waved it vigorously but still nothing
happened. "This one" He handed her
another wand. Megan had now tried over
50 wands but still had no luck.
"You're a very difficult customer," said Mr
Olivander. "I remember your mother was the same."
Megan looked at him "She was?"
"Yes, We went through over 100 wands, she was my
hardest customer, till now" He smiled.
"What happened to your last one"?
Megan's head dropped. "Don't ask"
"Why, what happened?"
She lowered her voice. "My dad, snapped it in half."
"Why?"
"I don't know?"
He handed her another wand. "Here, I think this one
might me the one. 13½ inches, dragon heartstring/unicorn tail combination,
holly. Very similar to your mothers."
For a second Harry thought she looked angry then she
looked normal again.
Megan waved the wand high and sparks shot out of the
end.
Harry walked over as Megan paid. She took her wand
and thanking Mr Olivander she and Harry left.
After much shopping and Megan carrying a large cat
which Harry thought looked like a tiger cub. So Megan had called it Cubby. They
headed for something to eat. They sat down at a new restaurant that had just
opened opposite Madam Malkins. They ordered a large ice-cream sundae to share.
"So," said Megan. "Where do you live?"
"With my muggle aunt and uncle, but I'm moving in
with my god father for the rest of the summer and then he gets full custody of
me." Harry took a spoonful of ice cream. "What about you?"
"I've mainly lived with a friend but I've got to
move back in with my dad for the rest of the summer and then I have to stay
with him."
"You don't sound happy about that."
"We don't get on."
"Oh, why?"
"He was never there for me when I was little and I
don't see why he all of a sudden should start caring, I'd rather be left alone.
And he freaks out about everything I do. Get this, he said that he doesn't
trust me to have a boyfriend."
"That is a little strict, I guess."
"I know"
"Oh heres my god father now" Harry looked at Megan.
"What's wrong" The entire colour had drained from her face and she looked
petrified.
Sirius looked mad to. He grabbed Megan and dragged her down the deserted side
alley. Harry chased after them but
Remus held him back.
"Let go of me Remus"
"Harry listen,"
"No, what's he doing to her"
"He's yelling at her"
Although Sirius and Megan had gone quite a way down
the alley Harry could hear him yelling at her.
"If you ever, ever disappear
like that again, I'll…I'll" Sirius was yelling at the top of his lungs.
"You'll what…?" Megan yelled back
"Don't you dare answer me back
Megan. I told you, you were to stay with Remus and you disobeyed me."
"Oh, boo stinking hoo, like I give a toss."
"MEGAN"
Megan appeared from the dark alley, she had tears
rolling down her face.
"Harry, sorry you had to hear that, I'm also afraid
I'll have to cut our ice cream short" She picked up Cubby and her other things.
"But my father insists I have no life."
"And Dad" She turned to Sirius. "I'll wait at the
leaky cauldron for you" And with that she walked off.
There was silence for a while, but Harry broke it.
"Why did Megan call you Dad?" he asked
Sirius looked down at him. "I guess I have some
explaining to do, don't I?"
