Author's Note: Wow, I can't believe I'm trying to finish this! I usually never finish my series. Anyway, here it is.

Disclaimer: I own Audren Black and the plot. (By the way, for all u people who might think that I'm copying, I'm not cuz I've never seen a fic where there's Sirius's daughter (or son) involved in it.) Besides, I don't like to copy anyone's story ---I might write a story for myself but I don't post it, cuz I don't think author's would be very happy about that. I always delete them ne way after I'm done. Besides, I respect them, and I don't think they would like it very much if I did do that. Right?

Summary: Audren gets to meet Sirius Black as u might have inferred in the title.

Reviews: Since most people don't like to bother with reviews, here's my little code for it. It's short and sweet. Please, if u don't usually review, then just put a ! if u like it or a . if u don't. Thanks and I hope this makes it easier.




NEWLY COMMENTS SINCE I WROTE THIS A YEAR AGO! PLEASE READ! ANSWERS TO NEGATIVE REVIEWS!!!!! ;)

Sorry folks, but on Fanfiction.net you CHOOSE which stories you want to read. You are not obligated. When you click, you take the chance that the story might suck, or you just don't like it. Also, I'm not doing a MARY SUE (which is putting yourself in the character's position) I put my name first when I write a story then when I can find a good name to use, I switch the names. I really am sorry you had to go through that HORRIBLE mistake. jeez.


Also, I guess I should have mentioned that the GREEN ROBE AUDREN TRIED ON was for the FORMAL DANCES! That was my fault and I should have put that in the story, but guys! why are we being so picky?! just read the frickin story!


I'm trying my hardest to make this original and entertaining for you, so relax. I also wrote this chapter a year ago, so I'm going to update it the best I can. I haven't read Harry Potter books in the least of 6 months, so if you give me time, I will catch up on the personalities and try to keep them in character. If you find any mistakes, PLEASE SKIP OVER THEM!


All the questions you are asking me about the plot and that this is to funky, well, they will all be answered as you read further into the story. Trust me, it won't be freaky if you let me get to the answering part. And since you won't let it alone, Draco is not being himself on purpose! He's hatching an evil plan. jeez, you guys, make me ruin the story with your complaining.


TO ALL THE WONDERFUL REVIEWS THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH! YOU GUYS MADE ME SOOOOO HAPPY! I WOULD GIVE YOU ALL MONEY IF I COULD! lol ;)





Audren Black

(Part 5: Trip to Hogsmeade/Meeting of Sirius Black)





As Audren and Harry stepped through the hole in the wall leading to the Gryffindor common room, they saw a crowd of Gryffindors huttled near the wall whispering excitedly. "Must be a post of the next trip to Hogsmeade." replied Harry.


Audren stopped dead in her tracks. "Harry! I don't have a permission slip. I never got one!"


"You didn't?"


"No!"


"That's strange. They usually send them with the letter."


"I know that."


"Oh yeah."


"But I didn't get one."


"I think you should go talk to Dumbledore."


"Good idea."




Audren slumped down in the chair that stood across from Professor Dumbledore's desk.


"Yes Audren?" he asked politely, looking at the girl.


"Yeah, I never got a permission slip to go to Hogsmeade."


"You didn't?" Audren shook her head. "Well, I'm sorry Audren, but I am not allowed to let you go to Hogsmeade without one."


Audren's chin dropped. "That's not fair!"


"I'm truly sorry Audren, but the Ministry of Magic has strict rules on something like this; especially at these times."


Audren's face contorted into confusion, but Dumbledore went on.


"I am surprised that you haven't thought of another way to go to Hogsmeade, though." he replied, a twinkle in his eyes.


Audren looked at Dumbledore uncertainly, then catching on, she said with a smile, "Thank you Dumbledore."


She got out of the chair and began to leave, but Professor Dumbledore's voice caught her attention. "Could you bring me back some Lemon Drops? I haven't the time to go to Hogsmeade anymore, and I dare say, I'm addicted to the things."


Audren nodded. "All right Professor."


He reached into his robes and flipped her a Sickle. "It shouldn't be more than that." he replied, and went back to his work.


When Audren had her hand on the knob though, he looked up and asked, "Is there anything troubling you? Anything you would like to talk about? How's you classes going?"


"Great unless it requires the use of a wand. I new I wouldn't be ready for being in 5th year. I should have started in level 1." she said sadly.


"Don't hold your self on such a low pedestal," Dumbledore responded. "I knew what I was doing when I put you in 5th. In all accounts, you should be put in an even higher level, but I didn't know how long it would take you to tap into your powers."


"Professor Dumbledore . . ." she said hesitantly. "What powers?"


"I'm shocked. You know very well that all wizards have powers. I would have expected such a more intelligent question from you, Miss Black."


Not taking his comment offensively, she explained her question, silently saying to herself duh. "It just seems like you are talking about a different kind of power when talking to me . . . . are you?"


"That's a more answerable question." he chided. "Yes, I am, but you will learn all in due time."




"Harry!" Audren whispered loudly as she found him in the library, searching for something that might help him with his potions test tomorrow. "Can I borrow your invisibility cloak for Hogsmeade?" She decided to keep her and Dumbledore's conversation more private, so didn't mention anything about it.


"What? Dumbledore didn't let you go?"


"No, he said he's not allowed, be he hinted your little method.


"Oooohh. Do you need any help for how to get there?"


"Yeah, it's been awhile since I read the 3rd book, and I don't have it with me."


"Okay. The Hogsmeade trip is tomorrow so be ready."


"All right." A thought struck her. Then she said excitedly, "Oh Harry! Can I meet Sirius?! Please please please???"


Harry thought for a moment. "Well, you know everything else so I don't see any harm in it. I got a letter from Sirius yesterday too, so he's expecting me, Ron, and Hermione. We'll have to explain."


There was an uncomfortable silence since both were too preoccupied in nervously thinking about the prospect of being under an invisibility cloak with each other.


Harry broke the silence with an, "Er . . ."


"Yeah."


"Bye." they said in unison, and went in different directions.




That night, Audren lay in bed awake, trying to go to sleep. Something had been on her mind since the library scene. She looked up at the top bunk where Hermione lay (Dumbledore had gotten bunk beds for them). "Hermione?"


"Yes?"


"I was wondering if you could teach me a Blushing Charm. You know, something to keep you from blushing. I mean, when I'm around a guy I like, I blush so much," and in a preppy sort of voice she said, "And like, it totally clashes with my black hair!"


Hermione giggled at the joke. Then, she flipped over the side of the bed, and looking upside down at Audren, asked in a serious tone, "Why do you want to learn a Blushing Charm again?"


Realizing that Hermione wanted more details Audren said, "Weeeelllllllll . . . . . . me and Harry are supposed to use the invisibility cloak to go to Hogsmeade . . ."


"OOOoohhhhh. I see. Okay, just point your wand at your face and say complexity. I'm afraid you'll be rather pale . . ." Hermione drifted off.




In the morning, Audren cast the Blushing Spell, and after Hermione whispered 'Good luck', Harry and Audren set off. Before they entered the statue, Harry looked worriedly at Audren and asked, "You all right? You look kinda pale."


"Oh I'm perfectly fine." Audren lied, trying to suppress the knot that kept tightening up in the pit of her stomach.


In the tunnel, they were aware at how close they were and they writhed uncomfortably.


Harry glanced at her. "Are you sure you feel all right?" he asked again, trying to keep his mind off at how much her personality resembled that of Cho's.


"Yeah. Yeah, I'm good." she said in a weak voice. "Hey look. There's the entrance." said Audren as she looked up at the wooden door with small amounts of light seeping through the cracks.


They opened the door and climbed out, gazing around the back of the storage room of Honeydukes. They snuck out of the store and went behind it and took off the invisibility cloak. Audren took in the fresh air and moved around a bit.


"Okay, we're meeting Ron and Hermione by the Shrieking Shack."


"Hold on. I need to get something in Honeydukes." Audren said, dragging Harry back into the sweet smelling shop.


She had read about all the different kinds of sweets, but that was just the beginning. She looked at racks and racks of the sweets while Harry waited impatiently since she was taking so long. After another protest from him, she finally took her bag of Lemon Drops, and paid with it out of her own money. After all, it was just a Sickle.


Ron and Hermione were waiting on the lawn of the Shrieking Shack, watching the people walk about the town from afar. They finally saw Harry and Audren coming their way and stood up. "Ready?" asked Hermione, as they approached them.


Harry patted his duffle bag that was full of food, waiting to be eaten by a certain black dog. "Yep. I managed to sneak a few things from the Gryffindor table."


"I really hope his eating habits have changed since last time we saw him." said Ron with disgust on his face at the thought of having to eat a rat.


"It couldn't be all that bad." replied Audren. Seeing everyone looking at her weird, she grinned and explained, "Well maybe Pettigrew unknowingly wandered a little too close at supper time."


"I bet he would taste awful." Harry replied.


They strode up the side of the mountain, trying to carry everything at once and keep at a reasonable pace. Audren kept looking around. She had the strange sense that someone was watching them in the shadows. She literally stopped at one point, looking back and into the sides of the forest. Harry stopped, too, when he noticed, and asked, "What's wrong."


"Don't know. I've got this weird feeling."


Harry narrowed his eyes -making his scar scrunch up- and looked around also, but finding nothing, the two jogged to catch up with their friends.


They finally reached the cave, and in the entrance, patiently stood a shaggy black dog. He certainly looked healthier then last time; at least he looked like he had eaten a few decent meals.


Sirius looked quizzically at Audren, his doggy eyebrows raising. Realizing what Sirius must have thought, Harry said, "It's all right. She knows. Long story."


Sirius hesitated, then exhaling breath that sounded like a sigh, they watched as he transformed back into his human self.


Inside the cave, Harry introduced Audren and proceeded to tell about why she was here and why she knew everything.


A zillion questions formed in his mind. First off, the last name weirded him out, but didn't know why. He knew that he wasn't the only Black in the world, but he couldn't shake off how she resembled him so either. Pushing this back into his mind for awhile he said, "This is strange. It definitely doesn't sound right." he searched his brain for different solutions, but they all seemed too wild and crazy to believe. "They're hiding something big, I know it!" he said to himself, pacing across the cave floor as the four looked on. "Maybe it's just Dumbledore's secret. But he isn't really the type to lie to the Ministry of Magic. Maybe if it was for a plan to beat Voldemort. Hmmmm...." Sirius stopped his pacing and looked at Audren. "Maybe if you could start talking to Dumbledore more. He's eventually going to tell you, but it could be years from now."


Audren nodded. That's what she had been thinking.
