Memories

**

"Stupefy!"

She ducks to avoid the curse but falls backward over one of the many seats in the room, she hits her head. Minutes later she regains conciseness just in time to see her father fall into the veil. **

She wakes with a start.

"It was just a dream. It had to have been. He can't be dead."

She looks around the room as if trying to prove that her father, Sirius Black, was still alive. She sees the many picture she has of her mother and father when they where young, but nothing to prove he was alive. She stands up and walks to her desk. She moves some of the papers to one side and picks up several copies of the Daily Prophet.

"He can't be dead. He's all I have left."

"Adrian?"

She throws the papers back on her desk and quickly gets back in bed. A moment later her door opens and her grandfather walks in.

"Adrian are you awake?"

She closes her eyes and ignores him.

"Adrian it's time to get up. We don't want you to miss the train."

She sits up, yawns and stretches. She slowly gets out of bed.

"Adrian I don't know what to do with you. I sent you to Hogwarts to make you happy and you still don't talk to me. I haven't heard you say one word in over 14 years."

A house-elf comes in.

"She doesn't have much to say master. I've brought you your morning tea miss."

She sets down the tray. Adrian starts to make her bed.

"I thought that's why you had a house-elf."

"Miss likes to do some things on her own."

"I find that highly unusual. I can't see you off to the station Adrian I have work to do. I'll see you during the holidays."

"Miss wants to stay at the school for the holidays sir."

He raises an eyebrow.

"Does she now? I'd like to hear that from her."

She hands Adrian a piece of parchment and a quill. Adrian writes it down and hands it to her grandfather. He reads it nods and leaves.

"Miss should try to get along with sir."

"I should but I don't. That will be all Misty."

"Miss will allow me to ask a question?"

"Yes."

"Why does Miss sit in her room all day in the dark?"

"That is none of your business Misty."

"I am sorry miss."

She leaves. Adrian looks around.

"I am truly alone and friendless in this world."

She lies back on her bed and looks at the ceiling until her grandmother calls for her to gather her things so they can leave. An hour later Adrian is sitting in a compartment with Draco Malfoy watching the country whiz past her. She thinks about her father as silent tears fall down her face.

((A.N. If you are confused about any of this feel free to ask questions. Adrian is Sirius Black's one and only daughter. The **at the beginning was the memory of her 5th year when her father was killed.))
