~Ok, here we go. Hope you enjoy.~
The halls were quiet. Many of the students were still asleep. Hermione and Misti made there way to the Great Hall while talking about the school and the people there. The one question that had been puzzling Hermione all night finally came out.
"So... how do you know Sirius?" She seemed hesitant to ask the question.
"Well, it's a long story but, well, he's my father actually. It's kind of confusing really. So how do you guys know him? I thought this was his first year teaching here." Hermione was silent for a few moments, still recovering from the shock.
"Oh, well, um," she couldn't seem to think straight, " He's Harry's godfather." They continued to walk in silence. As they entered the Great Hall Harry and Ron were surprisingly waiting for them.
"Wow, you two are up early."
"Couldn't sleep. You know how it is first day back," It seemed as thought Harry was hiding something, " Hey, Misti, can we take to Hermione for a second? Thanks." Harry and Ron dragged Hermione outside leaving Misti alone. She headed over to the Gryffindor table where she began talking to her roommate, Parvati.
*************************
Meanwhile out side Harry, Ron and Hermione were engaged in a very interesting conversation.
"Ok, there's something Sirius isn't telling us about that girl. I mean, how many people just pop out of no where in the 5th year, 2 years from graduation. Sirius knows her some how, but how can he when he's been on the run for the last 14 years. She can't be older than us." Hermione waited for Harry to calm down before she gave her explanation.
"Well, you're right." Ron and Harry stood there dumb-founded. Hermione didn't need any reply to start.
" Misti said she's Sirius's daughter. I don't know anything else, that's all she said." Harry looked like he was about to go ballistic.
"B-but how? I mean, just like that? What if he's married too? That has to be it. He got married over the summer."
" He's been on the run for a while. His record just got cleared. I don't think someone would marry and ex-convict who they just met a few months ago. Anyway, he would have told you." Ron was looking for someway to back it all up.
"But he didn't tell Harry about getting his record cleared either. Anyways, maybe they were like us and kept in touch while he was in hiding. It could be an old friend. Who knows?"
" We'll just have to ask him."
*******************
Misti and Lavender were talking about some of the Gryffindor boys when a familiar figure approached the Gryffindor table.
"Who's the new kid? Another Gryffindor to bring us down?" Malfoy's smirk completed the sentence.
" What are you doing over here? Shouldn't you be with the rest of those slime balls over there?" Malfoy ignored her comments and turned to Misti.
" You should watch out for some of these people. Especially Potter. They'll only bring you down, if you can get any lower."
" I've noticed. I'll keep and extra eye out for you." She returned his smirk as he left the table to go join his lumbering sidekicks, Crabbe and Goyle. She turned to see Harry, Ron and Hermione reenter the room. She looked over at the table where all the teachers were in search of Sirius. Harry glanced at the table as well.
"Where's Sirius?" They all began to look around for the missing teacher. Hermione happened to notice another missing teacher.
"Hey, Dumbledore's gone also. Where is everyone?" Questions were left in silence as students began to arrive.
~A/N: So what's the secret Sirius is keeping? Please R/R. I should have the next chapter up soon.~
