Runaway Dogstar

7. Cruelty of life

Sirius knew it. He should have had been thankfull for Andromeda taking him in. But he couldn't when guilty was always eating him from inside out.

Sirus had finally found his cousin, Andromeda Tonks. She was a beautiful, sweet, kind and loving woman, good wife and even better mother. And of course, wonderful cousin. Without any hesitation she had taken Sirius into her house to live with her family. When the two cousins first met after ten long years, they had had a long and serious conversation about all the things that had happened among the wizarding community after Andromeda left when she was eightteen-years-old and deeply in love with a muggle-boy, Ted Tonks. Andromeda and Sirius talked about the Blacks, how they all still were purebloodmaniacs, and of cource Andromeda asked lots of questions about Sirius's life. She seemed to be extrimely happy when Sirius told her that he was a gryffindor. At that, Sirius just smiled weakly. About Gemma, Sirius told her nothing. But he told that his parents were now both dead and that there was no way he could go back to they other relatives. And again she understood him complitely.

Andromeda's husband, Ted, wasn't overly exaited about Sirius's stay. Sirius actully heared him once ask Andromeda to sent Sirius away. Andromeda's anwer was firm no, and so Sirius could stay. But Ted Tonks never came to like him, at all. And to make things even worse, Ted was a teacher and insested that Sirius would go to the school like every "normal" sixteen- years-old. He wanted everything to be more normal than was normal for Sirius's likeing.

Andromeda's and Ted's seven-years-old daughter, Nymhpadora, Dora for short, had huge crush on Sirius from the frist moment they met. Of course it was very childish love, but still Dora kept folowwing Sirius like a puppy dog. She admired him deeply and mimict every thing he did. Dora, who was metamorphmagus, even chanceg her appearance to resemble Sirius (and Andromeda for that matter). At that point Ted was furious and said that if his little girl wasn't back to "normal" when he came back, Sirius would be leaving immediatly. After that, Ted went to local pub fuming with anger. It was a long night to Andromeda, Sirius and of course to poor-Dora. Dora didn't really know, how to change herself back (or other way round). So, all three were more than happy, when Dora got her shoulderlong darkbrown hair and greenish-brown eyes back. Ted let Sirius still stay, but he kept hating the yuong wizard very deeply.

Sirus never stopped loving Gemma, never forgot her. She was his perfeckt angel.

Ironicli, he was awfully right. Sirius had no time left to meet any other girl and fall in love again. Because, on Friday 26th October in 1971, The death eaters came. There were five of them, all masked unreconazebull. Ted Tonks was dead before he could say a thing. He fell onto the ground eyes wide open, unblinking. Andromeda fell down the stairs, screaming in pain, under the crusiatus curse. She tried to get her wand in her hands, but one of the death eaters snached it away from her.

"Stsik, stsik. My dear sister, (word was literally spat out), don't you ever learn? Oh, of course you don't. You are so poor excuse for a wicth." Andromeda didn't even have time to realise who was talking to her. She died before that.

Sirius and Little-Dora had been outside, in the little back yard playing hide and seek. Suddently one yuong death eater appeared into the back yard. He saw Sirius, draw his wand, and shot darkhaired youth with one singel, powerfull curse. Then he left as did other death eaters.

Dora crawled from her hiding place to Sirius. He did not move. She touched him but still he didn't move. At all. He was dead and she was sure that mum and dad were dead too. Dora fell on the ground and began to cry hopelessly.

There she was found, still crying, by two polices who had come to chec the house, because old lady, who lived next door, had called police station and insisted, that there was something awfull happening in the neighbour. Now the two policemen complitely agreed with her, after finding three dead bodies and one crying child.

Thank's for reading and now blease, review! Oh, and tell me if I should write more...
