Chapter 3: Back at Hogwarths
Daniela looked out across the darkened land. It had been so long since she had been home. Yes she thought of Hogwarths as home. After the Ministry had sentenced her to stay at Hogwarths, Daniela had made the place her home.
Several of the teachers never left for long either. So during the breaks in the term Daniela would ask them to teach her all that they knew. She had learned what they had taught her during those times with such ease that she had quickly advanced beyond those that went to school with her. She was now considered by those that knew her as one of the strongest witches in the world.
Although Hogwarths and the professors that taken her in as family, the students had always remained silent and unfriendly. They knew what the papers had said about her. That she was insane. That she was in love with a murder. That she was confined to the school ground because she was a danger to normal society.
Those thoughts and words had hurt Daniela more than any thing else. In love with Sirius? True there had been a time when she had been infatuated with her brother's best friend. But it had not been for long.
After their deaths Daniela had become very close to the only remain members of her brother's group. She had quickly fallen in love with the moody but kind werewolf. Remus was everything she could have ever wanted. They kept in touch with each other through letters, but he was staying closer to Harry now and Daniela was still being order to stay away by Albus.
Daniela came out of her stupor when she saw the lights of Hogwarths ahead of her. 'I'm home,' she thought with glee. 'I do hope the curse is over. Now that Sirius and Harry are together again.' She landed Telika close to Hagrid's house and carefully knocked on the door.
Hagrid opened the door and took a step back in surprise. He would have never thought to have seen Daniela here at his door steep. But with things the way they are, he was not too shocked. "Daniela, it's good to have you home again," said the giant as he engulfed the small framed girl.
"Thank you. It's good to be home again," said Daniela as her eyes welled up with tears. "I've come to see Harry. Is his alright?"
"Well there was an incident, but don't worry he is safe for now." "I have to see him." "Well put on that invisibility cloak and follow me. He and Sirius are with Dumbledore now." With that the two set off for the castle.
Daniela was filled with a sense of excitement and also of foreboding. It had been 14 years since she had set eyes on either of them. What were they like now? Would they ever forgive her for abandoning them so many years ago?
As if he could hear her thought, Hagrid said in a small voice, "I'm sure they will be happy to see you. You don't need to worry so much." Daniela smiled to herself and looked up at the castle. It had been so long since she had last been here, but it looked all the same. Even down to the cracks in the walls.
Hagrid led her through the familiar halls and up to the stone gargoyle. "Lemon Sherbet," he said. The gargoyle leapt aside and a stone staircase appeared. Hagrid steeped onto the stairs and they began to move. Once they were at the top of the stairs, Hagrid knocked on the headmaster's door. There was talking inside the door and then Albus Dumbledore opened the door to see who his visitors were.
"Hagrid, I trust that this is an important matter," said Dumbledore. "Yes, sir indeed. May we come in?" "We?" "Well yes sir. I have a certain cat that would like to speak with you," said Hagrid using the term cat to let Dumbledore know that Danny was back. "Oh well yes of course please come in.
Daniela and Hagrid walked into the room. Daniela took in the scene in front of her. Albus's office had not changed much since the last time she had been here. The same paintings and the same furniture littered the room. The only new additions that she noticed were a young boy with green eyes and unruly black hair. Harry! Also there was a large black dog beside him. Sirius! She knew him from watching him with her brother so many times. Those memories brought a smile to her face.
"Thank you, Hagrid," said Dumbledore. Hagrid bowed his head to the headmaster and walked back to the door. As he left he gently squeezed Daniela's arm.
Harry saw the gesture and sat up a little higher. Was there someone else in the room? They would have to be under an invisibility cloak or something like it?
Dumbledore sighed and said, "Daniela its safe to come out now. There is only the four of us in the room."
'Danny! She's here!' thought Sirius. Harry saw his godfather's tail wag and wondered who this Daniela person was. Then slowly the invisibility cloak slid away to uncover a women in her late twenties. She had little brown eyes and a mane of thick black hair that reached to her knees. She looked at all three of them and then turned to Dumbledore.
"It's good to see you again, Uncle." "As it is to see you. I see that the curse was lifted." Daniela smiled and nodded to the two in the corner. "They are the ones that set me free. The moment that Harry followed Sirius the curse was lifted. I'm only sorry I didn't come back until now." She bowed her head in sham.
At that moment Sirius turned back into a human and rushed over to the girl side and to Harry amazement he hugged the girl fiercely. "Don't ever say thing like that Danny. You stood by me. No matter what they said or did you keep the faith that I was innocent," said Sirius harshly as he stoked the girl's hair.
"I know but I left Harry. I didn't want to but they made me," said Daniela as she busted into tears. Sirius held her closely and let her cry herself out. Daniela couldn't believe that this moment had come after all those years.
Then she slowly looked around to Harry. He had a confused look on his face. Daniela smile and moved out of Sirius's arms, she then slowly walked over to Harry. "Harry I know that I haven't been there for you in a long time....... I wasn't that I didn't want to be there.....I just couldn't......I know that it will take a long time and......I'm not asked for your forgiveness......but someday I would like for us to be a family again.....when your ready of course," Daniela ramble her apology out and then look with hopeful eyes down at Harry. With a confused look still spread across his face Harry asked, "Who are you?"
Daniela smiled and answered, "I'm your aunt, Harry. My name is Daniela Marie Potter. I am your father's younger sister."
"Where have you been?" There was a hurt look on Harry face that broke Daniela's heart into pieces.
"That story, Harry, will have to wait. We have to get you don't to the infirmary. Daniela, Sirius, you may come and stay with him. Daniela put on her cloak again and Sirius once again transformed into Padfoot. The trio then followed Dumbledore down to the infirmary so Harry could be treated.
As she followed the group Daniela thought, 'That went better than I thought it would. It's good to be home again.'
