Hermione Granger ran up the stairs to the bedroom she shared with Anastasia. Praying she wouldn't have to pry her friend from a deep sleep so she could talk to the Headmaster. As she entered the room Hermione bit her lower lip, a nervous tendency she had developed after she started hanging out with Harry and Ron. To her relief, Anastasia was up, and dressed in a very 'chic' outfit, Hermione could not help but feel a touch jealous of her friend's looks. Anastasia looked as gorgeous as she had yesterday. She was wearing jean capris with purple tank top and kitten sandals. In contrast to yesterday though her hair was slightly curled and fell gracefully down her back.

"Professor Dumbledore, the headmaster, needs to talk to you." Hermione said tapping her friend on the shoulder.

"I haven't even been to school and I have to see the headmaster!" Anastasia said smiling. "Very well then, lets go down stairs, shall we Hermione?"

Hermione followed her friend downstairs, he eyes focused on the table where Harry, Ron, and Dumbledore were sitting. Hermione smiled to herself when she saw Harry's expression upon seeing Anastasia. Well somebody certainly got over Cho quickly Hermione thought to herself. As they reached the table Dumbledore stood up.

"Ahh, Miss. Black, a pleasure to finally meet you." He said beaming.

"A pleasure to meet you too sir." Anastasia replied.

"Well Harry, Ron, Hermione if you'll excuse us." Dumbledore said leading Anastasia away to a deserted corner of the tavern. "Please, sit my dear." He said motioning to a chair. Anastasia sat.

"Is everything alright sir? I haven't done anything wrong have I?"

"Oh no my dear, not at all, I came to speak to you about your brother."

"My brother?"

"Yes, would you like to meet him?"

"Yes! I mean of course, when can I."

"Well, now if you'd like. If all goes will I am sure he would not object to having you finish the summer holidays with him."

"Let's go!" Anastasia said rising from the table.

"Calm down my dear." Dumbledore said smiling. "It's amusing, your brother showed the same enthusiasm about meeting you. Who am I to keep family apart? Off we go." He said standing up. "Follow me my dear, it's not a long walk from here."

"He lives in Diagon Alley?"

"No my dear, but not far from her none the less."

Not far away an equally anxious Sirius bustled around his house.

"Sirius, calm down." Lupin said clasping his friend's shoulder. "She's your sister, you don't have to put on some big show to impress her."

"I know Remus, it's just, what if it doesn't go right? What is I mess the whole thing up. This isn't like dealing with Harry, I understood Harry because I understood James. I have no idea what to expect. How am I supposed to treat her?"

"Sirius, treat her like you would a sister. She's probably just as excited to meet you as you are to meet her. Just go with the flow, don't say anything bad about your parents or Brian and Cecile. I'm thinking she still loves your parents very much, and loves Brian and Cecile. Just don't bring that up. She's your sister. Just love her the way you would love a sibling." Remus said desperately trying to calm his friend.

Sirius opened his mouth to speak but was silenced by the sound of the door knocker. Remus gave his friend a shove toward the door. "Open it already. Don't make her stay out there."

"I'm going Remus, I'm going." Sirius stood staring at the closed door in front of him.

"Wimp!" Remus joked, walking past Sirius and opened the door. "Dumbledore, Anastasia come in.

"Ahh thank you Remus." Dumbledore replied as he entered the house, ushering Anastasia in in front of him and closing the door behind them

Anastasia and Dumbledore walked in. Anastasia looked up the man standing next to the man called Remus. The man was tall, with dark hair falling in his face; Anastasia knew instantly that this man was her brother.

"Sirius?" Anastasia asked, looking up at the man.

"Hey there kid." Sirius said walking toward his sister.

Dumbledore smiled at Remus, and then glanced at Sirius and Anastasia. He nodded at Remus and they quietly exited.

Sirius and Anastasia stood there for a few moments neither looking or not looking at each other but glancing every now and then.

"It's ahh, good to see you," Sirius mumbled.

"Ahh, ya, same here." Anastasia said looking at her feet. Before she was completely conscience of what she was doing Anastasia hugged her brother. She finally felt like she belonged somewhere. As tears welled in her eyes she clung tighter to the only family member she had left. She felt as though she had known him her entire life. There was an unspoken and somewhat surreal connection she felt. She buried her head in his chest and cried. She cried for her parents, but mostly Anastasia cried from pure happiness. She did have family, someone who really did care, a place to call home.

Sirius looked down at his little sister, whose face was buried in his chest. He stroked her long platinum hair, and held his little sister. Not sure why she was crying, but glad that he was there to comfort her.

"You okay?" He asked, as she continued to sob into his chest.

"Yyyyes." Anastasia replied sobbing.

"What's wrong then?" He asked as she raised her head to look at him.

"Iiiit's corny . . . bbbut I feel like I fffinally have fffamily."

"It's not corny in the least." He replied. "I'm glad I have you too. Lets go sit down okay?"

"Alllright then." Anastasia replied, following her brother to what appeared to be a sitting room. When they reached the ornately decorated room, she sat herself down next to her brother.

"How have you been? Brian and Cecile being alright to you?" Sirius questioned. Remembering what Remus had told him about not insulting them.

"I've been alright. Brian and Cecile are fine. They're just distant, they're workaholics. Always had anything I needed. Just not much of a family life."

"Well, that sounds alright I suppose. Wish you hadn't been sent to America, but can't very well change that now. If you'd like though, your welcome to live here. I mean its your house too. Plus, I'd love to have you around."

"Oh! Really! That would be so much better than living with them! What do you mean this is my house too?" Anastasia questioned.

"Well, this is our parent's house, I grew up here and you did for a short while."

"Funny, I don't remember a thing about."

"That's alright. So tell me everything, I feel like I've missed so much. Hell I didn't even know I had a sister, fill me in on everything."

Before she knew it Anastasia found herself pouring out her entire soul to her brother. Her fears, dreams, hates, everything, it just felt so natural.

When Dumbledore and Remus poked their heads in hours later, they smiled to themselves at the sight they found. Anastasia had fallen asleep on Sirius's shoulder, and he intern had also fallen asleep. Dumbledore smiled again, he knew it had been the right thing to do, to unite this pair. Secretly he wondered to himself how Harry would take the news of Sirius's sister; he'd looked quite taken by Anastasia this morning.
