Chapter 12

Summer came, but Mea spent very little of it at home. And when she was home she wouldn't speak to her parents. She refused to eat with them or ever be in the same room as them. And that was how most of her summer was.

School started again, and things for Mea were great again. Days and classes past, and this year more than the others seemed to just pass before her eyes.

Suddenly there was the sound of a door opening. Mea turned around as she saw Harry walk up the stairs. Mea stood up and she looked at him confused. "I'm sorry." He said. "Ms. Sandony, I was just..."

Mea cut him off, "You can call me just Mea."

He nodded, "Could I ask you a few things?"

"Of course, but first, can I ask you something?" He nodded, "How did you find me?"

He held up a piece of parchment, "My fathers map, it shows..."

"Of course." Mea smiled, "He showed it to me once."

Harry smiled, "I was kind of wondering... why I was asked to tell you everything about you know, Sirius."

Mea nodded, "Dumbledore or Remus didn't tell you?" He shook his head, "Well it seems as though they should have. Anyway, I went to school with your mother, father, Remus, and Sirius. Your mother, Lily, was my best friend. And well... Sirius was boyfriend I guess." She said. "After he was captured, I never really knew what it was..." Mea stared off into the sky. Harry just stood there listening to her. "Know, he was the one who showed me this place." She smiled.

After a moment Mea turned to him smiling, "I remember when your mother and father first started dating." Harry looked confused. But he wanted her to continue, he had never heard of much of his parents.

Mea and Sirius came into the common room when James was talking to Lily, "So... want to go to Hogsmeade with me next time?" Mea rolled her eyes, expecting Lily to turn him down again. But to her shock she her Lily's voice say yes.

Mea turned around to look at Lily, "Did I just hear you say yes?" Lily laughed and nodded and James looked as thought a life long quest had been fulfilled.

In Hogsmeade Mea and Sirius saw a lot of Lily and James. They looked so happy, Mea knew it was going to take a while to get used to it when she saw him kissed her for the first time. Lily seemed happy all the time, and nothing really got to her anymore.

The next thing Mea knew Lily and James were getting married. Mea had been Lily's maid of honor, and Sandra was her bride's maid. They had lost contact with Stephanie just after school ended. Mea and Sandra had pretty pink dresses, but they were nothing compared to Lily in her beautiful white dress. Mea couldn't help be as extremely happy for Lily. Sirius was the best man, and of course he and James both looked great. Lily came down the isle as everyone looked in awe of her beauty. She had a big grin on her face and it never left for the whole ceremony. Everyone clapped loudly when they finally kissed and afterwards they had the first dance of the night.

Mea had spent the whole time with Sirius, and of course Remus and Peter were invited. Remus and Sandra were dating now, and were quite happy together at the wedding. Mea was so happy for all of her friends, everything was wonderful.

Mea was singing again and started become very popular. Her friends came to just about every show she had, even after Sandra and Remus broke up. At biggest show Mea had ever had James and Lily told her they were going to have a baby. Mea looked out on the sea of faces, but always saw her friends somewhere back at her.

James and Lily had the baby, a boy they named Harry. Both Sirius and Mea were named his godparents. Mea only had seen Harry a few times before their death. Mea was at her house when she had gotten the letter.

Mr. Harddare, one of the few staff members left after her mother had died, which was shortly after the wedding; handed her the mail. Mea opened it last. She was in a completely state of shock, but it came ever harder after it was in the paper. Mea couldn't believe it, everyone was shocked that this little boy had survived, but no one cared that the two parents were dead. What was going to happen to little Harry now? Mea started shaking and locked herself in her room. She wouldn't let anyone in until she saw Sirius below her window. She opened it, tear streaming down her face. He looked as upset as she did. She opened the window to speak to him.

"Mea?" He called up to her.

"I'll come down." she said her tears slowing down.

When she came down he held her in his arms. "I have to go now, but I will come back. And when I do promise me we will run away together."

Mea smiled, "Of course."

"I love you, good bye." He said kissing her one last time and left into the dark.

"I love you." She said in the dark as she went back to her room.

Mea waited everyday for him to return. He never did.

The next thing Mea knew it was all over the news, Sirius Black was taken to Azkaban. The people around her who put on her shows told her they always thought he was no good. Mea couldn't believe half of these people, they had sat there and told her how great he was, and then all of sudden they were saying this. Mea felt dead inside. Everything was numb, she had refused to sing. The notes just wouldn't come out of her mouth anymore. Mea had lost everyone, even Sandra was killed. Then more thought about it the less she spoke. The less she felt the need for people. The only person who was ever near her was Mr. Harddare, after two years she didn't say a word and she never left the house.

Mr. Harddare had given her the paper when he had escaped. Her looked at the picture, feeling even more pained than ever. He looked crazy, they had stolen everything after from her. He father had died a year earlier, and she was happy that James and Lily weren't here for all of this. Everything was wrong, but part of her now believed he would come back for her like her always promised. Then Mea knew, he wasn't the same anymore, Azkaban had made him crazy, and too much time had gone by. We he never came back to find her she told herself it was for the best, but she would never believe it. She still loved him.

A tear fell from Mea's eye as she spoke about all of this. "I just wished I had seen him one more time, but Remus told me he thought that I had forgotten. That he had just ruined my life, but he hadn't. If it wasn't for him, I would be dead." Mea stopped looking up at Harry. "But look at you. 16, right?"

Harry looked shocked. After everything he had just heard about he had felt her pain. Everything was great, and then all of her friends stolen from her. "Yes. But did you say you are my godmother?"

Mea smiled, "Yes. You're all grown up now, and I know soon you will go out into the world, but I heard Sirius offered for you to go and live with him?" Harry nodded, he still couldn't believe how she could be as cheerful as she seemed just now. "I know that was taken from you, so if you want... you are welcome to stay with me. After all I feel horrible about just leaving you after your parents died and everything. I just sort of shut down, and I haven't been a good godmother. But I hope I can try and make up for that." She smiled.

Harry nodded, "You mean that?"

"Of course, Dumbledore made it so you had to stay with your muggle relatives because there is protection there that is way beyond anything I know. But I think you should be old enough to decide where you want to live. Besides at my house it's only Mr. Harddare and I. And its way too big for just two people. Your friends, Ron and Hermione, correct?" He nodded. "Well there are a lot extra rooms, so they could come and visit whenever they wanted." She smiled. "Think about it, okay?" Harry nodded again. "Good." Mea said getting up. "I'm going to sleep now. I'll see you tomorrow before I leave. And it was great to see you again, I know your parents would be so proud of you right now if they could see you." She smiled and left Harry to think.
