Thank you! After I put the last chapter up I got a few reviews for chapter 12 so I'm going to answer them now as well anyway that's all.
Cierra- Wow don't think anyone's ever said that my writing makes the cry and be happy not at the same time is it? Anyway thanks for the review.
J.E.A.R.K.Potter- I updated soon like you asked.
Nicole Black- About Pettigrews last comment well you'll have to wait and read this chapter and find out. Oh and in answer to your review to chapter 5 I don't know why it was doing that I think I'd only just put up chapter 12 then so I don't know why it was saying I had put up chapter 13 and 14 cause this is chapter 14 isn't it or have I lost count of my own chapters hope not!
MercyMe- Yep here's another chapter well actually two more chapters I suppose seeing as you reviewed for chapter 12 or have you read chapter 13 already… anyway thanks for reviewing.
Sarah- Here's more for you and Sirius yes he is alive I put that in chapter 13 which I'm not too sure if you've read or not so umm…. Thanks for the review.
MPPSexxySiriusJamesRemus- Yep I didn't make Sirius die now do you really think I would be as evil as J.K. Rowling I love her story and all but she didn't really have to kill Sirius of that was just evil I think (even though I put him through two years of torture) umm but anyway thanks for reviewing oh and which part of the UK you moving to?
Oh yeah and I'd also like to ask everyone does anyone know any good fics where Sirius remains the secret keeper like this one is like that if they do please tell me I love those fics they're one of my favourite type of fics though come to think of it I really just like any fics that are good. Did everyone read J.K. Rowlings world book day interview she gave away some hints about the sixth and seventh books and told us a few things about the characters like Lupin's middle name is John which I have been wondering since the third book anyway here's the link to the page if anyone wants it-
If that's the wrong address then someone tell me or if it didn't come up ok that's enough rambling on I think on with the story.
Peter Pettigrew walked into Voldemorts chambers escorted by one of Voldemorts personal guards though why Voldemort wanted personal guards when he was the most powerful wizard in the world well maybe except Dumbledore was beyond Peter.
Voldemort nodded his head to tell the guard to leave them alone Peter looked round the room it was a dungeon much like the ones at Hogwarts with a sort of throne at the back which Voldemort sat upon. It had no windows and was very, dark, cold and wet.
Peter shivered why did he have to have it so cold to match his cold heart a voice in Peter's head said Peter ignored it. He walked towards Voldemort who was sitting on the throne with the Slytherin flag hanging above it. She shakily knelt and bowed his head not wanting to look into those dark cold eyes.
"Master" He said shakily "I bring news."
Voldemort looked slightly interested when Peter looked up at him to see what his reaction might be "And what news might that be Peter?" Asked Voldemort examining his long fingernails as though he wasn't interested.
"I bring news of Sirius Black." Said Peter drawing a deep breath finally looking into Voldemorts eyes. If Voldemort was surprised he didn't show it on his face though come to think of it Peter wasn't even sure if Voldemort had any emotion.
"What news?" Asked Voldemort still in his calm voice which slightly scared Peter.
Peter wondered for a moment whether to betray his friends or not he decided to for surely Voldemort would kill him if he didn't tell and Peter was sure they would understand "I know where he is, he is with the Potters he turned up at their house this morning." Said Peter his eyes going back to the floor he couldn't stand staring into those eyes anymore.
"And you know this how?" Asked Voldemort. It was hard for Peter to tell whether he was happy with the news or not seeing as he always kept his voice in the same tone.
Peter gulped "I was at their house celebrating Christmas, they invited me over as usual and seeing as I have to pretend that everything is normal I went."
Voldemort put one long bony finger under Peters chin and forced his head up to look at him he stared into Peter's eyes for a few seconds and Peter knew he was using Legimancy to read Peter's mind Peter didn't try and fight this it was useless.
Voldemort nodded his head after a few seconds and said "Very well, Peter thank you for your information I want you to stay close to Black and see what he tells Potter."
"But my Lord he knows I'm a deatheater he saw me I tortured him my Lord how am I going to explain that?"
Voldemort looked at the worthless piece of dirt kneeling on the floor in front of him he had to keep reminding himself why he had let him join the death eaters "Peter you lie isn't that what you have been doing for the past 4 years lying to your friends surely one more lie wont make much difference." He said.
Peter shook his head stood up bowed to Voldemort and left the room.
When he arrived back at Godrics Hollow he was surprised to find James standing at the door waiting for him, he thought that everyone would have been too wrapped up in Sirius's return that they wouldn't have noticed him disappear "Where have you been Peter? You haven't even spoken to Sirius yet."
"I had to get some fresh air." Lied Peter "It was getting a little too crowded in there what with Sirius returning and all." Peter managed a small smile hoping to convince James.
"Uh huh," Said James and Peter didn't like the way he said it.
"Uh prongs is everything alright?" Asked Peter starting to get worried.
"Of course." Said James "I'm happy I mean Sirius is back why shouldn't I be?" He said in a way that made Peter suspect something.
"So how is Sirius?" Asked Peter hoping to change the direction of the conversation.
James looked slightly surprised with the question "Umm.. Yeah he's ok."
"Good!" Said Peter.
Next morning Sirius was up and playing with Harry, Aaron and Chloe with their new presents. Lily kept telling him he should take it easy but Sirius plainly ignored her saying that he felt fine.
Chloe was delighted to have her father and barely ever left his side something, which Sirius wasn't complaining about he was just as happy to have a daughter even though he felt bad that he'd missed out on the first two years of her life he hoped he still had many years with her.
Everyone was pretty happy until the daily prophet arrived Sirius was sitting with Chloe on his lap trying to feed her breakfast but she was more interested in playing with his hair which was getting too long for his liking he vowed that he would get a haircut. The owl came in with the daily prophet Lily paid the money and opened the paper she glanced at the front page for one second before letting out a small gasp.
James grabbed the newspaper from her and read the title a small muggle village just outside Godrics Hollow had been attacked by Voldemort and his deatheaters James read out the article-
MUGGLE VILLAGE ATTACKED 30 DEAD
A small wizarding village was last night attacked by You know who and his supporters, it is thought this attack was a revenge attack after the escape of Sirius Black from Voldemorts clutches several days ago. Sirius Black secret keeper for the Potters against you know who was captured two years ago and was thought to be dead up until yesterday when he turned up on the Potters doorstep early in the morning he is supposed to be recovering from his torment at you know who's hands. Whether Black is still sane or not is not known none of the Potter family or their friends who where at the house at the time where ready for questioning. It is said that Black is insane and should be approached with caution, and there are rumours about whether he is working for you know who, or even whether he is the real Sirius Black or not. Black was a good friend of James Potters since their school days at Hogwarts, after Hogwarts Black went on to marry Potters sister and they had a child together. If Black is working for Voldemort Potter should know that he could be putting his family at risk just by letting him stay at his house. The public should have been warned of Blacks escape but instead it was kept a secret I wonder why? don't you? Don't you think the public should know the truth about Blacks condition in case he is putting us all in danger. I certainly think so and so should you. The attack on the wizarding village could have been done by Black himself for he is certainly close enough to the village to be able to do it. The attack in which 30 people where killed was certainly a blow for our side, and proves that Voldemort is still at large and so the wizarding world lives on in fear.
James finished and looked at Sirius for his reaction "Let me guess who wrote that Rita Skeeter?"
James nodded and Sirius started laughing "Well if she wrote it no ones gonna believe it are they? They all know she talks a whole load of bullshit." James wondered who he was trying to convince them or himself.
"Padfoot when they find out you are actually alive then they will start to believe what she said."
Sirius thought about this for a moment "Nah, no one in their right minds would believe Rita Skeeter."
"A lot of people would believe anything at the moment." Cut in Lily.
"What amazes me." Said Sirius "Is how she can manage to turn an article about a village being attacked into an article about me."
James laughed "Yeah it is amazing how she can twist things so easily."
"Aw well." Said Sirius I don't care if half the wizarding world thinks I'm crazy just as long as I know I'm not eh."
"Yeah." Said James.
"Daddy?" Asked Chloe.
Sirius looked at her and smiled it still amazed him that he actually had a daughter and Chloe was so great he realised how lucky he was to even get a chance to meet her I mean how many people can say they spent two years in Voldemorts clutches and survived one he thought me "Daddy will you play with me?" She asked.
Sirius stood up still holding her of course I will now what do you want to play with "Barbie's." She said happily.
Sirius looked utterly bewildered he knew that Barbie's where a muggle toy thing that was a doll that looked like a living person but why you want to play with the thing confused him he thought it was so stupid.
Jess who had walked into the room just in time to hear Chloe say that word Barbie's burst out laughing.
Sirius looked at her pleadingly "No you are not getting your way outta this you promised you would play with her."
Sirius shot her a dark look, then smiled and looked at Chloe "So how exactly do we play Barbie's?"
"We play it my way and you can't stop until I say so." Sirius looked positively terrified now.
"Jess what exactly is her way?" He asked in a scared voice.
"Her way" Said Jess "Is why we all learned not to agree to play with her without knowing what the game was first."
By this point Sirius was absolutely terrified then he thought what harm could a two year old do.
"Umm… ok." He said uncertainly. "So umm where do we play this game?"
"In my room." Said Chloe smiling.
"Right." Said Sirius then he realised he didn't know where Chloe's room was "Where exactly is your room?"
Chloe giggled "Upstairs where all the rooms are." She said as though it was the simplest thing in the world.
Sirius closed his eyes and took a deep breath to calm himself down "Ok but which room is your room?" He asked trying to make it more clear.
"Upstairs." She said again.
Sirius turned round "Prongs can you tell me where Chloe's room is?"
"I'll take you up there." Said James standing up from his chair and finishing his toast "I need to get something upstairs for work anyway."
Lily scowled at him "You are not going into work on boxing day are you?" She asked.
"Lily there has just been another attack they need me there Look just be thankful that they didn't attack on Christmas day."
"Daddy you need your wand." Said Chloe.
Sirius looked at her suspiciously "Why would I need my wand to play Barbie's last I checked Barbie's were muggle doll things that you dressed up and played with." Said Sirius utterly confused.
"I do it differently." Said Chloe.
"Well I don't have my wand." Said Sirius suddenly remembering that Voldemort had taken great pleasure in snapping his wand right in front of his eyes will Rodolphus and Bellatrix watched in the background laughing.
Sirius was pulled out of his thoughts by James' voice "Padfoot mate are you ok." He said in concern.
"Yeah." Said Sirius "Just remembering things I would much rather forget."
James looked at him sympathetically, and Sirius knew he understood what he was talking about.
"Daddy you need to have a wand." Said Chloe.
Jess smiled, walked over and handed Sirius her wand "Here you go your daddy can use my wand until he gets his own ok Chloe."
"Thank you mummy." Said Chloe.
"Follow me Padfoot I'll show you where her room is." Said James starting to leave the room.
Sirius nodded and followed James out of the room still carrying Chloe.
James led them up to the second floor of the house along a painted red and gold landing the house was just as Sirius had remembered it decorated in red and gold all over with the Gryffindor flag hanging in a few places to signify the Potters ancestry for not many people knew but the Potters were direct descendents of Godric Gryffindor.
James led them to one of the rooms which Sirius remembered as being a spare room and he struggled to remember if he had ever even been in this room. "There you go." Said James "Now I'm going to go get my work stuff and go to work. He kissed Chloe on the head and left.
Sirius opened the door and all he could see was purple, purple was obviously Chloe's favourite colour every inch of her room was covered in it from her floor to her bedclothes to her curtains. "Umm I take it you like purple then." Said Sirius Chloe giggled, grabbed his hand and dragged him over to sit on her bed.
She went to a chest of drawers which was painted purple surprise, surprise "She pulled out some Barbie clothes and started looking at them putting them together to see what they look like Sirius couldn't help but smile at this.
"These." Said Chloe holding up a pair of jeans and a halter neck top which looked like something Barbie might wear going to a nightclub "Uh huh," Said Sirius "Now where's the Barbie so we can try these clothes on her.
"Daddy don't be silly you're the Barbie." Sirius looked terrified at this statement he then looked at the clothes "Chloe darling do you really think I am going to fit into that?"
Chloe giggled "That's why you have mummy's wand so you can make them bigger so they fit you."
Sirius went really pale and stared at Chloe "Chloe I think this is a game you should play with your mummy or aunty Lily not with me its just not really my thing ok."
Chloe's bottom lip started trembling and she started whimpering "You promised you would play with me." She said in a voice that sounded close to tear
Sirius' heart melted to see his daughter crying he picked her up and hugged her close 2 him "Hey, hey don't cry, I'm sorry its just that dressing up in clothes made for Barbie's just isn't my thing." He said trying to reason with her.
"But I like making people dress up." Said Chloe.
Sirius suddenly had an idea "Chloe why don't you get me some of Barbie's boyfriends clothes."
"Ken?" She asked.
"What?" Asked Sirius wondering who on earth Ken was.
"Ken's Barbie's boyfriend." Stated Chloe.
"Oh." Said Sirius finally understanding it.
Chloe dug into her drawer again and pulled out a pair of combat jeans like the ones you would wear in the army and a green army jacket. "Are these ok."
Sirius smiled at the new choice of clothes "Yeah of course they are they're fine." He said and Chloe smiled.
Aww lame ending but anyway this was my longest chapter yet I'm writing this bit on my sixth page so this is definitely my longest chapter seeing as they normally are four pages long ok so that's all only one thing to say review!
