Just Around the Corner
Summary:
Hotarus on her way to be Queen of Saturn and the Magical World. Her daughter has just entered High School. Things seem to be going perfectly. But it becomes complicated when her daughters father shows up. HP/SM *Hotaru centered*
Set WAY after Galixia thing for SM and in-between 3rd and 4th year for HP
~*~
He, Sirius Black had a 14 year old daughter! He was a father! How did this happen?! Why hadn't Hotaru told him she was pregnant or at least told Remus or her brother!
Millions of questions ran threw his head over again. It took several minutes for reality to set in. A smile spread acrossed his face. He was the father to a beautiful young girl who had his personality.
He could practically see James Potter in heaven glaring down at him shaking his fist cursing up a storm. He laughed shortly.

Hotaru gave an angry growl before slamming her book shut. She couldn't think! And it was all that mans fault!
"Mama?" Rheas gentle voice broke threw her train of thought. "Mama who was that man?"
Hotaru glanced at her but had to look away. Rhea had his soulful eyes that had haunted her dreams. "He is no one, sweety. Just some man passing threw" she replied. She mentally cringed at the large lie she had just told her daughter. She would pay for it later she was sure.
"Crystal Princess Aphrodite's said that he was my father" Rhea whispered. Feeling odd and slightly guilty for bringing up her father
"Yes, well the Princess of Venus has a big mouth on her doesn't she?" Hotaru snapped and flinched. She hadn't ment for it to come out that way.
"He is my father isn't he?" Rhea went on.
Hotaru remained silent for several minuts. Looking down at the book that was in her hand, 'Lions Pride'. How it suited this very moment.
"Mother" Rhea pressed on.
'Just like Sirius and James' she thought lightly 'Never giving up tell she gets an answer..'
She set the book down and stood up. She walked over gracefully and put her hands on Rheas shoulders. "His name is Sirius Black, and yes my sweet. He is your father." Hotaru whispered looking into her daughters eyes.
Rheas eyes lit up with happiness and confusion. Even a little rejection and anger. "I knew it! How did you two meet? Why did he come back after so long? Did you love each other?" Rhea questioned
Hotaru laughed lightly "Take a seat" she ordered softly. After Rhea did she took a seat acrossed from her. "I met your father when I lived in England with my mother, father, and older twin brother, James."
Rhea blinked "And?"
Hotaru giggled at her impatience. Another trait from her uncle and father.. "I had been sitting next to this muggle-born whose name was Lily Evans. My brother had marched in with his two new friends. Remus Lupin and your father Sirius Black. James took an instant fancy to Lily while Sirius took an instant dislike to me and me to him."
Rhea looked disappointed "So you two never loved each other?"
Hotaru shook her head, a small blush creeping acrossed her pale cheeks. "We where only 11at the time sweety. Over the next few years our attraction for each other would grow much to my brothers disapproval. When finally in our 7th year.....we where both 17...your father asked me to go to the Muggle Themed dance with him. We started dating and we continued to after we had left Hogwarts. We had planned on getting married but then...something horrible happened........."
"What?" Rhea questioned with enthusiasm.
"My brother and his wife Lily where attacked by Voldemorts fallowers who called themselves Death Eaters. The two of them and their son Harry where forced to go into hiding. They had originally planned on making your father their Secret Keeper but according to him they changed it to Peter Pettigrew. A mousy cowardly man who I never liked. They where killed by Voldemort not long after and Your father was arrested for tipping Voldemort off to them, killing Pettigrew plus 13 muggles. All of which your father claims isn't true." Hotaru finished.
Rhea glanced at the ground "So.........is it true?"
"I wish I knew sweety but I don't." she replied softly. "Your father is still here. He is staying in guest rooms in the Northern Wing. You can go talk to him if you want"
Rhea looked at her timidly....which was unusual for her. "Maybe some other time. I've got school and Crystal Queen Amy will have my head if I'm late again." she whispered before hurrying out of the room
Hotaru sighed as she watched her leave. 'What happened to the good old days when I didn't have to worry about this sort of thing' she thought almost angrily.
"Princess Hotaru" a calm voice called to her. She looked up to see Crystal Queen Trista looking at her "Walk with me"
Hotaru obeyed wordlessly as she followed the older woman.
"He tells you the truth, my dear" Trista said softly after a long pause
Hotaru shrugged "Kind of figured he was."
"You should forgive him, young one" Trista whispered
"I know" Hotaru replied
"Then why don't you?"
"Because I can't"
"Why"
"I don't know"
Trista shook her head sadly at her statements. "Give him a second chance, Hotaru. He really isn't as bad as you seem to think he is. And he really does still love you" she said casually while look up at the sky "Don't let him slip threw your grasp. Go talk to him.........Know if you will excuse me, I must go talk to Neo Queen Serenity."
Hotaru watched her retreating figure before it hit her. Trista had led her to the Northern Wing. She was just about to make her retreat when Sirius firm hand on her shoulder stopped her. "Hotaru? What are you doing here?" he asked
Hotaru looked at him into his eyes and found she couldn't speak.
