The next day, Lana walked into her father's office to see him and Remus
laughing.
"Oh, sorry about interrupting, I'll come back later." The two men looked up, and Remus stood up.
"No no. I was just leaving. See you later Padfoot." Alone, father and daughter stared at each other. Silence filled the room as Lana sat down in the chair Remus had just vacated.
"So. Twelve years in Azcaban huh?" She asked. Sirius smiled and nodded.
"Oh you know, day at the beach. Nothing big. I gotta tell you, this is a little weird. I tried not to think of your mother, never thought that she could be pregnant." Lana snorted.
"Tell me about it. When I was little, all the other kids, well elves actually used to talk about their fathers. I remember being so angry at one elf, because she was complaining about her father not letting her do something. At least she had a father around to yell at." Sirius looked at the beautiful girl standing before him that was such a good mix of him and Melanie and once again felt the anger toward Peter for not letting him see his daughter grow up without him.
"I know it wasn't your fault. Even when I was so upset at you, I knew that you would be there if you could've been, but it still hurt." Sirius stood up and embraced his daughter in a tight grip, hoping he could have enough time with her to build a relationship with. Lana returned the hug and felt the tears spill down her cheeks. Pulling back he looked up at her fathers face and grinned.
"A dog? Why on earth did you choose to become a dog amanigus?" Sirius laughed.
"Well, it wasn't my choice. So how do you fell about this whole marriage thing?" Lana sighed. He was defiantly to cool to be like all the other fathers she knew.
"It kinda sucks. I'm still a teenager. So is he." She said, angry at the situation. "Then, last night the asshole kissed me and made me like him! Kissed me. Then, when it was done he just left. Left me awake all night long and wishing that he-"
"Lana. I may be new at the whole father thing, but please spare me the details of your sex life." Sirius laughed, then grew serious. "Be careful of him Lana. He has been with a lot of guys and might do something you don't want to do like⦠you know."
"Padfoot," Lana said, liking the name, "I'm not a virgin you know."
"Ahhh. To much information. Too damn much! Gross. No, your still to young." Covering his ears and running around the room, Sirius looked crazy.
"Stop! I'll never tell you anything again!" Lana shouted laughing. From then on, father and daughter had a special bond.
At dinner that night, Lana sat with Harry, Ron, and Hermione. Right now though, Ron was fighting with Hermione on whether Ginny was old enough to date.
"Ron! You were dating when she was your age!" Sputtering, Ron looked at his girlfriend and said, "Yeah, but that's different."
"I'm a girl and I was her age when I started dating you. Is that different?" Laughing, Lana and Harry grinned at each other. Lana had noticed the looks going back and forth between Ginny and Harry and knew that Ron would soon have to deal with his sister dating his best friend.
Blaise watched as Lana laughed at something Potter did. She was flirting with him! He had been up all night, affected by that kiss like never before, and here she was flirting with Saint Potter.
"Maybe she'll notice you if you stare harder Zabini." Drawled Draco, who had heard all about the kiss from his friend the night before. "Or you could go talk to her." Blaise whipped his stare to Draco who was smirking.
"You know I can't do that. Whenever she sees me she glares at me, and Potter would certainly not like me going over there to talk to her. Slitherin, Gryffindor? Unwritten rule." Looking to the Gryffindor again he was startled to see that she was gone. He turned to Draco to ask where she was when he felt a tap on his right shoulder. There, standing with such a pissed off look was the girl who he hadn't been able to get out of his mind.
