Just to let ya know Sirius is free and Mr. Weasley is MOM (Minister of Magic) so I think I'll start the story now!
Artemis' P.O.V.
As I walked up the stairs I reflected what went down tonight...
Before Tom came to my house I sent a letter to Dumbledore and told him
Tom was coming. I was sitting in the living room of my trailer with my
mom when he burst into the door. Before I had a chance to curse him he
sent a killing curse to my mom, killing her. I watched horrified as she
fell the ground. I knelt beside her and cradled her as Tom turned his
wand at me. I raised my hand and a swirling shield covered me and my mom.
I turned back to my mom as the door burst open and Dumbledore walked in.
Tom was gone and Dumbledore came over to me. I let the shield go down and
he knelt beside me.
"Come Artemis, danger is still lurking." He said softly.
"No! I cannot leave without my mom!" I yelled at him, even though I was
not angry at him.
"How about we bury her at the goddess cemetery." Goddess cemetery, the
cemetery where goddesses are buried. That's where my mom belonged. Most
people don't know their goddesses, but my mom did. One of the most
powerful goddesses, she seeked to help people. Till she met Tom. She
thought he was the one. Then she met the other side of him. Afraid for
herself and me, I was three, she fled to the muggle world. She worked at
Torrey Pines Pub as a waitress. Now she was gone. We apparated to the
cemetery and buried her body. Then Dumbledore told me to apparate outside
of Grimmauld Place. I know where it is cause Mrs. Black used to baby-sit
me. Then the fun part. We walked in and sat down. Severus hugged me, he
loved my mom, and everyone started laughing! I guess he's not very
popular. Then Sirius had to go and say, "Hey when are you going to do a
trick?" So I decided to change into a Cobra to scare everyone. Tom Riddle
is Salazar Slytherin's heir right? So Cobra's are my favorite snake so I
decided to be one! I slithered down the table and stopped in front of
him. With little force, I talked in a human voice! Not even Tom could do
both. That's how special I am. I can do even more! OK, I should stop
bragging and let you find out what else I can do for yourselves. So I
went back and sat down. Dumbledore went on about what happened and then
he left, Severus followed. In the hallway we discussed where I was going
to stay. Dumbledore said here, Severus said at Hogwarts, and I said at my
trailer. They said no to me and I ended up staying here, in Grimmauld
Place. Dumbledore took me back to my trailer to get my stuff. I left
nothing there but the furniture and last months rent. Then we apparated
back to GM (Grimmauld Place) and here we are, on the stairs.
We kept walking up the stairs and stopped on the third (A/N is Ginny &
Hermy's room on the third floor? Tell me if you know please!) Floor and
opened the door. Inside on the floor were two girls and four boys. Two of
them, twins, were at the meeting. If my memory is right, and it always
is, they are Fred and George Weasley. Then Harry Potter, Ron Weasley,
Hermy ( Hermione) Granger, and Ginny Weasley. Harry had on baggy jeans
and a dark blue t-shirt with blue vans. Ron had jean and a white t-shirt
with black and white vans. Hermy had on a white button up shirt and
Capri's with sandals. I could tell I wasn't going to like her very much.
Then Ginny Weasley, she sure has changed. She had on black Dickie's and a
black t-shirt with all black make-up. She had on Black DC's to go with.
She even dyed her hair black! But her bangs and two chunks of hair on the
side were blood red. I think I'm going to get along great with her! I
think she went shopping this summer! Dumbledore cleared his throat.
"Hello everyone! I'm sure Fred and George have already told you, but this
is Artemis Riddle. She will be staying with the girls for the remainder
of the summer and will go to Hogwarts for the last year to make sure she
knows everything. So make her feel welcome!" After Dumbledore was done,
he was gone before I could ask to stay at Hogwarts instead. My stuff was
littered around the room so I waved my hand and they started packing
themselves. The others looked on amazed. Hermy broke the silence.
"Only wizards that studied magic all their lives can do wandless magic."
She said in a know-it-all tone.
"Well I guess I can too!" I shot back.
"Wow that was amazing! Can you teach me to do that?" Ron asked.
"Oh, you didn't hear Hermy did you? It takes a wizard all his life to
achieve wandless magic." I said. Ron looked put out. Hermione looked
shocked.
"Why did you call me Hermy?" she asked me.
"Cause I can." I said.
"But only Harry, Ron, and Hagrid knows knows about that name!" She said.
"Well I guess I know too!" My stuff had stopped unpacking so I went over
and got the stuff it didn't unpack. I saw my stereo so I picked it up and
put it on a dresser. Next I took out my laptop and set it on the
nightstand next to my bed. I took out the charger and plugged it in. I
guess they had electricity put in. Then I conjured a TV stand and put my
TV there. I put the rack that held my DVD's and VHS's next to it. My desk
that I had shrunk I put by a corner. When I was done with everything I
sat down on my bed. Fred and George were the first to say hi.
"Hello I'm Fred Weasley, as you know. Welcome to Grimmauld Place. George
and I would be happy to give you a tour!" He said.
"I would love a tour, but...I already know GM like the back of my hand.
Mrs. Black used to baby-sit me. Which reminds me! I need to go talk to
her." With that I got up and left. I could feel their eyes on me as I
left. I walked down the stairs and stopped in front of Mrs. Black's
picture.
"Nana Black?" I asked in a gentle voice. The curtain opened. Nana's
picture was red. Nana was wiping her face with a handkerchief.
"Hello Artemis darling. I'm so terribly sorry about your mum. She was
truly a remarkable person. Now I even more regret sending Regulus into
his service. If Sirius ever went into his service I don't know what I
would do." Nana said sadly.
"But I thought you hated Sirius? You were always going on about how much
of a disappointment he is. Saying Regulus is a better son to his face." I
said.
"Well don't tell him I told you this but I did love him. Deep down in my
heart. REALLY deep down." She started laughing. I laughed too. I say a
string type thing come down from the Second to the top floor, Sirius's
room. I put a finger to my lips and pointed to it. Nana saw it and winked
at me. I instantly knew what she was going to do.
"Sirius was always such a handsome boy. A real lady's man you could say."
She said trying not to laugh.
"Oh yes. He is a hot one. When I first saw him I couldn't take my eyes
off him." I said also trying not to laugh. I could just picture in my
mind Sirius smirking. She nodded to a blow horn on the table thing made
out of a troll's leg. I ran and picked it up. I then floated to the
string thing and pressed the button.
"BBBBEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEPPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" It went. I
heard a yell and a "THUMP!" I floated to the 5th floor and saw Sirius
laying on the floor covering his ear. I conjured a Polaroid and took a
picture, laughing. I floated back down and showed it to Nana. She burst
out laughing. I heard Sirius coming down the stairs. When I saw him he
was kinda mad.
"That was NOT FUNNY!!!" He yelled. Nana tried to stifle her laughter. I
didn't. I just laughed more.
"Well I think it was." Nana said. It was then Sirius saw the picture. He
made a grab for it, but I was too quick. I pulled it out of his reach. He
tried to get it again but this time I ran to the other side of the
stairs. Sirius ran after me so I ran to the dining room. Mr. and Mrs.
Weasley were in there talking to Remus, Nymphadora, and Moody. Mundungus
was sleeping in a chair.
"If Sirius asks I'm not here." I said as I ran past them into the
kitchen. I looked around the room and saw no where to hide so I jumped
onto the ceiling, in a corner, and stayed there, my face looking down. My
hair was a bit too long so I shortened it. I heard Sirius burst into the
dining room.
"Where is she?!" he shouted. A chorus of I-don't-knows went around the
room. I heard a chair bang. I guess Mundungus fell off his chair. Then
Sirius came banging into the kitchen. He looked around and saw nothing.
After a minute on searching he left through another door. When I was sure
he was gone I followed through that door. I looked around and saw it was
a living room. I snuck to the other side, where there was a door, and
looked through. I saw nothing so I made a run for the stairs. I looked
back and saw that Sirius come from the kitchen. He saw me and started
chasing me, again. I was already on the 3rd floor by the time he got to
the stairs so I ran in. Everyone was still in there when I came bursting
in. I shut the door behind me.
"I'm not in here." I told them. I ran into the closet and shut the door.
There was a rack above the cloths so I climbed onto it. The room (not
closet) door burst open.
"Where's Artemis?!" Sirius yelled. I-don't-know's went around the room
again.
"In the closet." A voice said. It was Hermy. I really don't like her.
Sirius ran to the closet. He opened the door and looked around. He then
looked up and found me.
"AH HA!!!" He picked me up and carried me out on his shoulder. I kicked
and punched him but he wouldn't give up! I stopped cause I knew it was
useless. He carried me to the dining room where there was a fire. The
people that were in there looked on in interest.
"Toss the picture into the fire!" he said.
"How about...no." I said back with a smirk.
"I'll toss you in the fire instead!" While he was talking I made a copy
of the picture.
"Oh, all right." I tossed the copy into the fire. Sirius didn't believe I
would toss the picture so reluctantly so he sat my down.
"Accrio picture!" The picture came flying from my pocket. I tried to grab
it but Sirius already threw it into the fire.
"Damn you Sirius!!!" Sirius gave a triumphant smirk. "I'll get you back!
Even worse than that picture!" I said and ran to see Nana.
"Hey Nana, did Sirius sleep with and stuffed animals when he was
younger?" I asked her.
"Yeah, he had a stuffed dog that looked like the Grim. I believe he still
sleeps with it." She answered me. I smirked.
"Great thanks. I'll talk to you later!" I ran up to my room. The guys
already left and it was only Ginny and Hermy left. I got the Polaroid and
started getting prepared to take a picture. I emptied my pockets and put
up my hair. Now all I have to do is wait for Sirius to go to sleep. I put
on my invisibility cloak and slipped into the kitchen. Sirius was talking
with Remus. When Sirius took a drink I put a little more force on the cup
and it spilled coke all over him. He told Remus he might as well go to
sleep. I followed him to his room on the fifth floor. He was about to
change so I closed my eyes SHUT! When I heard him get into bed is when I
finally opened my eyes. I almost laughed when I saw Sirius laying down
with his stuffed dog. When I was sure Sirius was asleep I took off my
cloak and walked to his bed. He looked so peaceful sleeping. I turned the
flash off and quickly took the picture. He stirred a little so I put the
cloak back on and slipped out of the room unnoticed. I ran down the
stairs and opened Nana's curtain.
"NANA! I got a really good picture!" I showed her the picture of Sirius.
She burst out laughing.
"You know what? You should make copies and put them around the hose so
people can see them. That's a good way to pay him back." Nana said with a
smirk.
"Great idea! I think I'll do it!" I put the curtain back and stared
making copies of the picture. I placed them all over the house and on the
front of the door. When I was done I went back to my room. I put my
headphones on my head and turned on Linkin Park. I fell asleep thinking
of what Sirius would do when he saw the pictures.
Hey people its lilshorty69 talkin and I'm sorry 4 not updating sooner but my computer is like...messed so now I'm using my cuz's comp. so thanks to NightinBelle and Naoko-san for reviewing!
