"Mum! Mum! MUM!"
Ten-year-old Lila Black sprinted along the corridors of the mansion, waving a mirror in her hand.
"Slow down, slow down, mi hija! What's all this noise, anyway?" asked Shakira, better known as Kiree, Diablo of her daughter.
"Dad's-Dad's-''
"Lila please. You know how terribly it upsets me."
"But-''
"No buts. You know how ter-''
"But just look at this!"
She held out the mirror triumphantly.
"It's a mirror, so? Lila-''
Lila snatched it back impatiently and said loudly and clearly, "Dad!"
To Kiree's surprise and shock, Sirius' face emerged through a sort of smoke that filled the mirror's surface.
"Yes Liy?"
"Mum, as usual, doesn't believe me."
"Did you even tell her?"
"No, she did not!" announced a little girl's voice.
All three turned their heads to see who the newcomer was.
"Sandy?" Sirius asked in disbelief.
"Eso es me!"
"Sandrine Black, just how did you-''
Sandy Black fidgeted, winding a blonde curl around her finger and putting her other hand into her overalls pocket. "Well..............."
"Listening at the door again? Haven't we talked about that?"
"Um......yes, but how are we going to tell Harry that Dad's alive?"
"That's another problem. And everyone still thinks Dad's a murderer," Lila added.
"Well, let's figure this out.....Can you Floo over, Padfoot?" Kiree asked.
"I guess so. I sneaked into a wizard house to talk to you, so I'll come over straight away."
Ten minutes later, he tumbled out of the fireplace.
Just then, an enormous gray bear waddled in.
"Oh hi Baloo," waved Lila and Sandy.
"Where's Bagheera?"
"Baggy? Over at Hogwarts. As a matter of fact, Dumbledore wants to see you four too. Come on!"
All of them immediately scrambled after Baloo.
Little did they know what big a surprise they would very soon be getting.

"What do you mean he's very busy? I'll have you know, Snape, that this is a matter of importance!" shouted Shailee Diablo impatiently, stamping her flip-flopped foot.
"I told you," Snape roared back, "that he is preoccupied and cannot see anyone at the moment!"
"Yeah right! More than likely you're trying to get us out of this school!" retorted Shanice Diablo.
"Honestly!" scolded Professor McGonagall, walking briskly up. "You're behaving like a bunch of children! You three, I would have expected better of you! And Severus, I am astounded at your behaviour! A teacher behaving in this unruly fashion! Ridiculous!"
"That's no concern of mine! I insist upon seeing Professor Dumbledore straightaway! It is, as I believe I explained a thousand times to Professor Snape here, a matter of great importance!" yelled Shailee, tossing her long black braid.
"Very well, very well! The password is Lemon Drops!"
"Obviously," muttered Shoomy Diablo, straightening her orange and gold silk sari as she followed her sisters.
"Lemon Drops!" Shanice said grandly to the gargoyle, which jumped aside at once.
"Professor! We have to talk immediately!" announced Shailee, walking importantly into the room, but stopped short when she saw two other figures in the room. They were wearing long hooded cloaks.
"It is all right, Miss Diablo, you may talk freely in front of these people," assured Albus Dumbledore as he reached for something in the bottom drawer of his desk.
"Would anyone care for some candy? Chocolate Frogs? Every Flavor Beans? Chocoballs? Lemon drops?"
"Oh, we'll take some, shukria, Professor," said Shoomy eagerly.
Shailee, Shanice and Shoomy all took a couple of Chocoballs each, Professor Dumbledore took some lemon drops, and the people in hoods took Chocolate Frogs.
"I myself have an important matter to discuss with you," Professor Dumbledore told the three.
"You see-''
The people in hoods moved forward. Their cloaks fell to the floor.
"The Potters are once again alive."
