A/N: As I put in the summary, this is a sequel, so it would be best to read the story Unacceptable before you start this one.

Also, I'm a little nervous about how this chapter is going to turn out. Sorry if it seems a little slow, but just bear with me, thanks.

Juliette Morris grimaced as she felt the wheels of the train come to a stuttering halt beneath her. Then, as if it was clockwork, every student flowed out of their compartments and stampeded into their families' arms. Juliette watched the mob, waiting for her opportunity to slip out without running into anyone. She wasn't really in any hurry to get out anyway. She didn't know where she was going, what she was looking for, or when she'd find it. That's because Juliette Morris is as good as an orphan. Not only did her mother desert her long before she could remember, but she returned less than a week ago and murdered her muggle father. That's because her mother just happens to be a Death Eater.... Bellatrix Black.

Juliette looked out the window of the train, and saw that everyone was beginning to clear out, so she grabbed her stuff and dragged it out the door.

The second she was about to sit down and get settled, a young girl, probably in her first or second year, ran up to her. Juliette looked down, for the girl was awfully short compared to Juliette's tall lean structure. The girl was a bit odd looking. Her hair was neon-green and cut very short. She was wearing jeans that were torn in several spots so that white strings were hanging down over her knees and ankles. Her t-shirt was bubble-gum pink, and she was practically swimming in it. The sleeves would have been down to her elbows if they weren't rolled up on her shoulders.

Hey, you've gotta be Juliette, right? she called to her as she approached.

Er.... sure.Well, you either are or you aren't, she said, crossing her arms. You are, aren't you. Well, you know me, I hope.Sorry, no, she said, rolling her eyes. How would she know this girl, because if this girl really knew her, she would know that she didn't associate with people much.

You don't? Well, I'm sure Dumbledore would have mentioned.....No, he didn't. I didn't ask.Well.... okay, she said, a little hurt. Well, you're gonna live with me.I figured that out by now, she grumbled. She really didn't feel like living with a hyper little brat with grass hair.

My name's Tonks.I'm going to be in second year next year.My mum's over there.You can call her Andromeda.Or you could call her Aunt Andromeda.

Tonks gave a satisfied smile, knowing she had finally gotten the girl's attention.

What do you mean by she asked, obviously interested.

Well, normally when your mother has a sister she's your aunt.So your mother is my mother's sister?Yeah. Your mum was older. Then my mum. Then... have you met Narcissa?Who? I have more relatives I didn't know about?Well yeah. There's your cousin Draco, and I think your second uncles Sirius and Regulus. Then there's Phineus, who used to be Headmaster.....Whoa whoa whoa..... Hold on. Tell me later. Where's your mother again?Right there, she said, pointing to a small woman. She had shoulder-length copper colored hair and a normal house dress on. She was standing beside a man with thinning brown hair. Juliette figured it had to be Tonks' father.

Juliette headed towards them, not noticing that she left her trunk.

said the woman cheerfully. You must be Juliette. I sent Nymphora over there to get you. Where's your trunk?Oh! I guess I left it over there. Pardon.... Nymphora? Isn't that Tonks?

The woman laughed. That's her surname. I'm afraid she doesn't like the name I gave her.Who would, said Tonks, coming up behind Juliette with her trunk. Here, this was all you had, right?Yeah. Yeah it was. Thanks.Of course.

Juliette looked from the man, to Andromeda, to Tonks, trying to picture her new life with these people. She had so many questions. But more importantly, she had more doubts. They seemed like nice people, but right now Juliette didn't want to get along with anyone. She was too upset, and she just didn't feel like enjoying herself anywhere. Anywhere that wasn't with Severus. Oh, just the thought of him depressed her. She was so close to getting more than she ever dreamed. It was all right before her feet. But of course it was her mother that had to come and take it all away. But I suppose that's how life is. If you get something quickly, it leaves you quickly. Now that she thought of it, the relationship she had with Severus was awfully quick. They fell in love so quickly, she should have expected something like this to happen.

Ready to go? asked the man, bringing her out of her trance.

Oh! Yes, I am.I'm Ted, by the way. You can call me whatever you want.Ted's fine, she said flatly.

Ted took the trunk and showed her to the car. They all climbed in, and waited as Ted Tonks slowly pulled out of the car park and drove away, as everyone sat in silence.

Finally Andromeda attempted to make conversation. So Juliette, did you know that Ted is a muggle just like your father?

She didn't know that, but because of the bad mood she was in, she just shrugged the knowledge off.

Do you want to hear about your family's history? Andromeda asked, in another attempt to get her to talk.

Uh... I don't care, she said, desperately trying not to sound interested.

Okay, well I'll tell you anyway. Me and your mother were sisters, if you didn't already know that. She was my older sister. Then there was Narcissa who was the baby of the family. She was the second to be wed, though. I was the first, but this isn't counting your father and my sister. Narcissa wed Lucius Malfoy, who I think is a complete slimeball, but of course to everyone else he is a very respectable wizard because he's pureblood. You know, Lucius used to date Bellatrix, but I think once they graduated he became more interested in Narcissa. Maybe the breakup between them lead to Bellatrix's one-night stand with your father. That's just my theory anyway. She was upset about the breakup, and went to a bar, got drunk, and there you go. Well, Narcissa and Lucius have one child. His name is Draco and he's five now. Anyway, when I was sixteen I ran away from home. I just decided not to come home after Hogwarts. I didn't like my family's values. I lived with my friend Anastasia until I graduated. My cousin Sirius did the same thing. He ran away from home at age sixteen too. He lived with his best friend, James Potter. I swear, those two were meant to be brothers. Well, they used to be close. You do know about the downfall of You-know-who?Who doesn't? she asked, now unbelievable interested.

Well, supposedly Sirius was the one who betrayed James Potter and his wife Lilly. Well, you must know the story. They were killed, but Harry Potter lived, etc. Then Sirius was accused of blowing up Peter Pettigrew in the streets, leaving nothing but his finger... she grumbled as she spoke, as if she didn't believe the story she was telling. Well, Sirius was sent to Azkaban of course. I personally don't believe it one bit. It couldn't have been Sirius. Someone else must have killed Peter Pettigrew, because it wasn't him. No, not my cousin. But anyway, Sirius was the oldest out of two brothers. The other brother was Regulus. He was a Death Eater. Of course, you know all about them. Anyway, he was killed by Voldemort.What!?!? He was a Death Eater, why was he killed?You obviously don't know the ways of Voldemort, she said grimly. He was killed, so to keep him from betraying his cause. But, there isn't too much to say about him. He just wasn't a nice person, which is an understatement, but I never really spoke with him often. Then, we come to your mother, Bellatrix Black. Well, she was quite an independent person. She was beautiful, and I never really cared, but my sister Narcissa was a bit jealous of her. She had no reason to be, of course. Narcissa was slender and blonde and perfection when she got older. But when Narcissa was younger she looked up to Bellatrix with admiration and severe jealously. And she was always so defiant! She was also a very good duelist, and I'm very curious to see if you have inherited that trait. She was also very good at the dark arts, of course. But anyway, you know what happened after she got out of school, but a year after she left you, she met Rodolphus Lestrange and was married....So she got married again?Yes she did. She was the last Black sister to be married. She hasn't had any children, don't worry. But they're both Death Eaters. Well, that's a lot of our family that you should know about, I suppose. I'll have to tell you more later, but I'll give you a chance to process all that.

Juliette nodded, but the second Andromeda stopped speaking, she felt her head spin. That was the most information she had ever taken in at once. She just sat there, stunned, trying to put together all the pieces of the Black family history, trying to work out the invisible puzzle was creating for herself. She just didn't want to think. She slowly tried to let her mind rest, but when she did, all that came to mind was Severus, and that just hurt her even more. She was trapped. She realized with dismay that even inside her mind she wasn't safe from chaos. She was just irritated by now.

What house are you in, Tonks? she blurted.

I'm a Hufflepuff, Tonks said. Same as my mum.My mother was a Slytherin, wasn't she? she asked glumly.

Pretty much everyone in the Black family is, Andromeda replied.

Figures. Did you know Severus Snape in school?I did. He was younger than I was, but I knew him. He hung out with a lot of people my sister did. There was just this huge group of Slytherins that he knew that almost all turned to the dark side, I suppose. Why do you ask?I was just.... curious.Just curious? asked Ted, and she could see his eyebrow raise in the front driver's mirror.

Yeah. Just curious, she said cooly, something she learned from Severus.

I heard you were going to go live with him, said Tonks, smiling a bit. From Dumbledore.So, what about it, she said stiffly. The last thing she wanted to do was discuss Severus Snape, especially in front of one of his soon-to-be second year students.

Sooooo... He's mean. How could you survive there? You must be very happy to come with us then. I mean, he's all greasy and ugly and he scares me.Shut up.How could you ever.....Just SHUT UP! she cried.

Tonks sat there, looking utterly stunned. At the exact same time, Andromeda and Ted wheeled around to look at her. She blushed furiously.

I'm sorry, she whimpered.

Juliette didn't speak.
