Ashleigh had an important meeting with Dumbledore at Grimwald place in
March. Her baby was due in a couple of months and she wanted to make sure
that he knew of the circumstances that the baby girl was to grow up to.
"Ashleigh, nothing is going to happen to us." Sirius said. He was so naïve.
"Sirius, that is exactly what Lily and James said and look what happened to them." Ashleigh said. Sirius sighed as Dumbledore sat down to listen to Ashleigh.
"Dumbledore, I want our baby to grow up in a house where she will feel all the love she deserves. I want her to go to Hogwarts, and if possible, I want her to have a sorceress to teach her of the sorceress ways. But not an abusive one. I want her to learn of what she is and who she can be. I want her to know that I will always be there for her no matter what and I will always watch over her. I want her to know that no matter what happens that I will be proud of her, even if it's just her being her. I want her to grow up in a muggle environment before she becomes a wizard, she to attend muggle school until she finishes 6th grade. Then she will be old enough to go to Hogwarts. I want her to live life to the fullest. She will be more powerful than all of us here. I can tell you that now, last month when I fell off that ladder that was her magic. Not mine. She will be one of the chosen ones." Ashleigh said reflecting on the days of her Sorceress training. Her Trainer said that there are a few chosen ones every millennium and her future child would be one. It was written in the stars.
"What are the chosen ones?" Sirius asked. He was holding Ashleigh's hand while she talked to Dumbledore.
"A chosen one is one of the most Powerful sorceress in the world. There are 4 of them. Each one stands for an element. An important element. Life, Earth, Water and Fire. When all four of them unite to become one they can do anything. They can defeat the darkest wizard. Allie is going to be one of them. Oh, and I want her name to be Alexandra Elizabeth Abigail Haleigh Lyn Black. Nicknamed while she is growing up Allie, if she wants to change her nickname let her but call her Allie." Ashleigh said tears were falling down her cheeks. One of the disadvantages of being a sorceress was the fact that you knew your fate. You knew when you were going to die. You didn't know how, so you wouldn't be able to cheat death, but you knew when. And Ashleigh saw it in the stars. She was going to die a few weeks after Allie was born.
"Ashleigh, you are saying this as if you knew that you were going to die or something was going to happen. Are you not telling me something?" Sirius asked. Ashleigh looked at him.
"Sirius, I am. It's written in the stars, One way or another I will die a few weeks after Allie is born. I know this and I accept it. Now you have to accept it." Ashleigh said. Dumbledore pulled her into a hug as Sirius just stared at her in disbelief. He was not going to accept it.
"Sirius, you have to be strong. You need to be there for your daughter. Ashleigh can't help it. If its written you cant erase it." Dumbledore said.
"But she can't die! We haven't been able to live together in a house with Allie, we haven't become a family yet." Sirius said this made Ashleigh cry even more. Didn't he know that she was thinking about that already? Didn't her know that it broke her heart to know this?
"Sirius, please. Please, you have to be there for Allie, no one else can." Ashleigh said pulling away from Dumbledore. Sirius held onto her.
"I'm not going to let you die. This I promise you." He said holding onto her tight.
"Ashleigh, I promise to make all your wishes for Allie come true." Dumbledore said. Ashleigh nodded a thank you and just clung onto Sirius. He needed her but she would have to leave sooner or later.
Ashleigh came up with the idea to write Allie a series of notes. By this time she had about 20. Inside those notes were hilarious stories of Sirius and the boys and things she wanted Allie to do and follow. Just as she was finishing up her 21st note she put it into the box. There were two boxes in front of her. One of them contained her old journal and stuff to give to Allie once she was old enough. The other contained all the notes Ashleigh had written to her. She wrote one last note for Sirius, everyday she added to it. It was 15 pages long now.
A sharp pain went through her lower abdomen. And she felt water fall from her and onto the floor. Her water broke! This was it. She quickly called for Sirius and Dumbledore. She was having her baby. Sirius ran in there fast just as Ashleigh was sealing his note. She didn't want him to read it yet. Dumbledore came from the kitchen. He quickly walked to the fireplace and called a name in there. A tall woman that Ashleigh recognized immediately, Isabella, her trainer. Isabella smiled, that was the first time she saw a genuine smile on her face.
"Hello. I see you have gone into labor." Isabella said she looked older than Ashleigh remembered but she still had the same stern voice. Ashleigh nodded.
"I am here to do the Sorceress ritual on the baby. To make it official." Isabella said. Ashleigh nodded. Pain! Such pain! She would have preferred the crutius curse than this pain. She held Sirius hand and squeezed. She squeezed so hard that he yelped. But when she gave him a piercing look he shut up immediately. It hurt her so much that tears were coming down her face. Dumbledore was going to deliver the baby. He had to.
3 hours went by and Ashleigh finally delivered the little bugger. She came out crying. Her eyes were wide as she stared around at everyone. Isabella took the baby in her arms and performed a ritual as the other looked on. The baby wasn't crying at all. In fact she looked very curious, she was always looking around with her big blue eyes. Sirius' eyes. Ashleigh kissed Sirius and then Isabella handed the baby to Ashleigh. The baby started to glow in her arms. She was a sorceress. They clothed her and each one took turns holding her. The rest of the order should be here soon and they would all look at her and admire her. She couldn't wait to hear Molly's words.
Allie looked just like her mother and father. She had Sirius' eyes and his smile. Oh, god she had his smile. She had the same shade of hair that Ashleigh had as a baby. Black, which would turn into blonde. She had a cute button nose and small hands and fingers. Ashleigh smiled at her little creation, hers' and Sirius'. This was their baby.
"Dumbledore. Will you be her guardian?" Ashleigh asked tears were flowing down her face. Dumbledore nodded.
"Ashleigh, nothing is going to happen to us." Sirius said. He was so naïve.
"Sirius, that is exactly what Lily and James said and look what happened to them." Ashleigh said. Sirius sighed as Dumbledore sat down to listen to Ashleigh.
