Chapter Two

Eventually, Lily had cried herself to sleep on the floor. Sirius looked down at Lily. "So what's the story?" he asked his dad.

"Her parents were murdered," Orion replied. "The death eaters used the Imperious Curse on her so that she would attack her family."

Sirius looked down. "How horrible," he said quietly. "How is she going to get better?"

"I'm not sure," Orion replied. "We'll probably give her a new memory for the time being."

"But when she remembers it, it will be twice as bad."

"Not necessarily. Anyways, she needs to go to Hogwarts so that her magic isn't a danger to her, so if we give her a memory with magic she will trust us," his dad responded.

"Can I help? I mean, with the new memory, considering how it will most likely involve me."

"Sure, let's get some parchment and write it all down," Orion announced and then got a piece of parchment and a quill with ink. "First thing is she needs a new name. The public will have heard all about the twelve-year-old killing her parents and even magic people will have a hard time with it. She needs a whole new identity, a whole new life; she even needs to look different."

"Ok, well, is she going to live with us, because then her last name will end up being Black," Sirius said thoughtfully.

"Probably. She'll probably pose as your sister. She is a year younger than you."

Sirius, "Alright, then I get to pick her name. First and middle!" His father sighed. "Well, everyone in our family has a star or a constellation as their name, so what about Andromeda. We can call her Andy or Annie, well, I guess she could pick."

"Andromeda's a nice name. What about a middle name?"

"Andromeda. Just Andromeda Black." Sirius decided.

"All right. Now she should somewhat resemble us or it will look strange. So shoulder length black hair and she can keep her regular face. Make her a bit taller. Change her eye color-"

"No," Sirius protested, "Let her have something that is from her old life."

Orion sighed again, but eventually nodded. "Fine. Ok, now why haven't people met her before? That'll be a biggy."

"Um, after mum died she was so depressed she went to live with relatives elsewhere?"

"No, to complex," Orion argued.

"What about just saying that she was adopted?" a voice broke through.

Sirius and Orion turned to look over at the couch where Lily lay down. They had thought she was sleeping.

"Adopted?" Sirius.

"If you make my hair blonde and my eyes blue, and I change my name, you could say you adopted me," Lily responded. "I don't want to lose my memory. Though there were far to many bad things, I don't want to forget the good things."

Orion nodded. "Alright," he said almost reluctantly. "We could change your appearance now, if you'd like."

Lily nodded. Orion waved his wand and muttered something. Her once short wavy red hair was now long and straight and a soft shade of dirty blonde. Lily looked at her hair and nodded.

"My eyes?" she asked.

"Don't make them blue, that's just to classic," Sirius said, taking way to much interest in designing a person.

"Brown then," Lily responded, then looked down. "Just not green."

Orion nodded and changed them. "Any concern about your height?"

"Taller, but not to much," Lily responded. "Want to be completely different," Lily said softly. "I don't want to look like my mother," she muttered.

Orion nodded in understanding, Sirius just remained silent. Orion changed Lily's whole appearance. She wasn't pretty but she wasn't average and tall and thin. She had blonde brown hair and brown eyes.

"Do I have to act different?" Lily asked.

Orion shook his head. "Do you want to pick your name?"

Lily nodded, "Analiese," she replied.

Sirius and Orion nodded. "That's my older brothers favorite name. I never asked him why. Am I allowed to see him?"

Orion shook him head. "I don't think that would be wise," he told her. Lily nodded

"So now you're Analiese Black," Sirius said and stood up and enveloped her in a hug, "Welcome to the family." Lily started crying.

"I don't have any of my things. They're all at my house, or Petunia's house, I don't know," Lily said quietly.

"We'll go tomorrow and just get the things that you absolutely need. I can buy you new clothes. Leave pictures anything with names on it." Orion stated. Lily looked down. "If anybody asks you about Lily's family," Orion directed to Sirius, "Just say you don't know and that she doesn't talk about it unless she comes up with a story over the rest of the summer."

Lily looked down. "I'm a little tired," she said softly. "Is there anywhere I can sleep?"

Orion blinked. He'd forgotten to figure out a place for her to stay. "Sirius, can you take Lily to the third guest room. She can make it her own after we get her things." Sirius nodded.

It was then Lily realized how big the house was. She blinked a couple of times and looked around the room that she was in. It was huge. There were books and a chess set by one corner, large comfy chairs, a pool table, games and all sorts of things.

"Come on Li-Ana," Sirius gestured to the stairs. Long tall stairs. Lily nodded and slowly followed him up the stairs, around a corner, down a hallway, and into the fourth door on the right.

"Your house is really big," Lily said bluntly.

Sirius smiled. "You'll get used to it." Lily nodded meekly.

Sirius opened the door for her and Lily looked inside. There was a large canopy bed against the farthest wall and placed directly in the middle. On the wall closest to the end was a desk with a lamp and a matching chair. She saw another door in the room and pointed to it.

Sirius nodded, "That's your closet."

"Wow." The wall was an off white with a purple trim of flowers on the top and the carpet was a soft lilac. The room was so big and there were so many other things. Lily collapsed on her bed but just lay there, eyes wide open.

Sirius sat next to where Lily was laying. "You'll like it here. My dad's really nice, even if he works a lot."

Lily's lips twitched, almost into a smile. "I think I will to."

Sirius smiled and left the room only to be shocked by a loud scream from his father.

Author's Note: Alright, alright. I'm evil. So Mr. Black is screaming. Guess you'll have to wait until next chapter. Things that happen.just a small preview. We find the reason of Mr. Black's screaming Lily smiles Lily's in denial Lily, Sirius, and Mr. Black go to pick up Lily's things

That's just a tiny itty-bitty preview. Other things WILL happen.

Kizzy: Oh, you reviewers don't know how hard it will be to get Lily to like magic. I like being evil when I write, dropping tiny clues, hidden messages and such. Thanks for the review.

Chelsea: I'm continuing I'm trying to go as fast as I can! Isn't it sad though? Think about it. Being forced to kill the parents whom you love and not being able to stop yourself. Anyways, even I feel bad for Petunia. She saw the whole thing but she doesn't know Lily was possessed.
