didn't work. Not that you care or anything , but anyway I DON'T OWN ANYTHING! Enjoy chap. 3!

"Finally!" Summer whispered into the dark of the kitchen. She had stayed up after her
'parents' so she could get some necessities for her trip. She had come up with a plan during
dinner, she would steal enough money from their 'secret' stash to buy a plane ticket to London
and enough for the trip she had to make to her parent's house.
She had spent an hour picking the lock on the metal box they kept for emergencies only.
'Well, this is an emergency' she thought as she pulled out a wad of cash. "Damn, $2,094 should be
enough." Summer muttered to herself after she finished counting the cash.
She was lucky that they lived in the nice part of the city near the airport in
Pittsburgh. She walked the whole way thinking about how she would greet her father, after all he
had given her up for adoption. What would he be like, what would her mother be like, all these
questions raced through her head and before she knew it she was standing in line to buy a ticket.
After what seemed like forever she heard, "Next!" and she went up to the counter. "I
would like a ticket to London, England please." she asked. The attendant looked her up and down
with a critical gaze. "You look a bit young to be traveling by yourself, sweetie." she told her.
Hold the phone, Summer had had enough she had been lied to her whole life and she had held that
anger in until now. "Listen blondie, I asked you for a ticket to London not a fucking evaluation
of my traveling habits!" she spit out. The blonde looked a little taken aback. She handed her
ticket over and told her which gate to go to. "Thanks" Summer bit out sarcastically.
Her flight would take off in about 10 minutes so she tried to hurry and got there just
when the attendant was calling for first class. "That's me" she muttered to herself. She got to
the counter before anyone else had a chance. "Ticket please." the attendant asked her. "Here you
go."Summer said as she placed it on the counter. "Okay, right through that archway right there
just follow it until you walk onto the plane someone will show you to your seat from there." she
explained. "Thanks" Summer responded distractedly.
She was shown to her seat by a brown haired woman who was too perky for Summer's mood.
'Well might as well go to sleep for a while' she told herself since it would be about 12 hours
before they got to London.
"Ma'am, the plane is about to land you might want to wake up." was what Summer woke up
to. "Thank you sir how long 'till it lands?" she asked the man sitting beside her. He must have
been from England because he had an accent. "About 30 minutes, where are you headed to in
England?" he asked her. "Well I know the town just not specifically where I'm headed. I think the
town is called Myerston." she said. The man looked mildly surprised. "Well looks like we are
headed to the same town, I live there." he said to her. "Really? Do you think you could show me
around when we get there so I won't get too lost?" she asked.
"Sure. Why don't we share a cab there so it will be easier?" he responded. She shrugged
her shoulders, "Why not?" she said.
There was a few minutes silence then he asked her who she was visiting. "Well, my aunt
and uncle, but my mom and dad didn't want to come." she answered. He stayed silent.She took that
time to study his appearance. He was about 6', with brown hair that had a few streaks of gray
here and there, dark green, almost brown eyes, and he looked very tired. (**A/N: BET YOU DON'T
KNOW WHO IT IS! :: Wink, Wink:: **)
"We are now landing the plane, please stay seated until the flight attendant at the front
signals for you departure. Thank you for flying DELTA, have a nice day!" the pilot's voice came
over the intercom. " 'Have a nice day' he says, some one needs to tell these damn people to
shove it for being so goddamn perky." Summer muttered to herself. As soon as she said that she
stood up and stretched, missing the man's look as he heard her bad mouth the flight attendants
for being perky.
"We might as well get going, or we won't be able to catch the cab that's waiting for me."
she turned to the man as he said this. "You already ordered a cab?" she asked. "Yeah, I have an
old friend I have to meet and I didn't want to wait for one." he muttered to her as they left the
plane.
*****************************About Two Hours Later******************************
"Well that's about the whole town. Do you have a place to stay? I mean until you find
your aunt, my wife and I have plenty of room at our house." the man said turning to Summer.
"Well, I do only have a little cash left, so okay, why not?" Summer told him. She turned to him
and realized she barely even knew him, but hey why would he have waited this long if he was
planning to do something with her? It was worth a chance. They spent the 20 minute walk there in
silence.
They soon came to a stop in front of a small but cozy cottage in the outskirts of the
village. "Well this isn't much, but its bigger than it looks from the outside." he said to her as
they made their way to the door. He opened the door and stepped inside motioning for her to
follow. He shut the door behind her and started to walk through the hallway. "Remus is that you
honey? Sirius is here already." Summer heard a woman's voice say from a doorway off to the right.
'Wait a minute, did she say Remus!?' Summer thought. "Yeah its me Carolyn, I brought someone home
with me, she needed a place to stay until…. Well anyway she needed a place to stay." he answered.
'Oh my god, Remus, Carolyn? It couldn't be!' Summer thought frantically. She wasn't prepared for
this yet!
"Remy, are you cheating on your wife? I didn't know you had it in you!" a male voice came
from the same room. She saw 'Remus' walk into the room and heard him say,"Its good to see you
too, Sirius." There was the sound of chairs scrapping against the floor. "So, where is this
little girl you picked up Remy?" 'Sirius' said. Hey! She was hardly a little girl, although she
was a little frightened about being in the same house as her parents, she was not going to be
called a little girl. She walked into the room. "Do I look like a little girl to you?" she asked
the man. She saw the woman who she suspected was her mother and was delighted to see she thought
that that had been quite funny.
"Summer Marie…Sampson" she introduced herself. "Nice to meet you Summer," Carolyn told
her, "I like your hair." she said looking at the purple streaks. "Yeah well I did it to annoy my
'dad'." she told the woman. She turned back to Sirius and then Remus. "Your last name wouldn't
happen to be Lupin would it?" she asked him. His eyebrows raised. "Yeah it is, how did you know
that?" he questioned. She noticed his hand moved toward his pocket.
"Don't worry I'm not a Death Eater." she told him casually. She had found more files on
the computer that told her about the wizarding world and the history of it while she had been
waiting for Aaron and Helena to go to sleep. She suspected that he was moving toward his wand.
She knew she didn't need a wand, all she had to do is think about what she wanted to do and it
happened.
"Then how did you know my name?" he asked her. She was slightly pissed off, mostly
because she hadn't let out all of her anger over her life. "Don't look at me like that goddamnit!
God, you couldn't tell I was lying about who I was visiting? Jesus, I know I've only been in the
wizarding world about a day but, damn, you aren't a very bright crowd are you?" she told him. "Do
you really want to know why I'm here and why I know you name and why I'm pissed off?" she asked
him. He nodded his head. "Well I'm here to see my father and mother, I'm pissed off because I've
been lied to my whole goddamn life and was put up for adoption and I know your name because
that's my name too, Summer Marie Lupin. I'm your daughter!" she blurted out. "Oops, that wasn't
supposed to happen, gotta watch my temper." she muttered to herself.
She looked up to find all of them looking at her, (almost at eye level because she was
almost as tall as they were), shocked at how fast her mood changed. "Need some Midol Summer?"
Sirius finally asked her teasing her a little bit. "I don't think you want to do that, I don't
need a wand to do magic buddy." she told him. He looked at her thinking that she was just
kidding, but one look at her face told him that she wasn't.
"Anyway, I don't take Midol, I take Tylenol." she added.
