The Diary of Samantha Black

July 21

We've just arrived at the headquarters for the Order. (Once again, I won't talk about it too much incase any Death Eaters read this.) By the time I got here, Jess and the others weren't here yet. I met Harry Potter (so sexy), Ron Weasley (so cute), Fred and George Weasley (so funny), Hermione Granger (so bookish), Molly Weasley (so nice), and Percy Weasley (so... pompous)!

Anyway, Fred and George helped me Lop off Kreatcher's head and plant it on the wall. They went into the kitchen with their mum to bug her a bit when the Marauders arrived. Jessie looked shocked when two George's walked out of the kitchen. Fred laughed at her and said,

"Hi. You must be Jessica, right? Well I'm George's twin brother Fred. It's a pleasure meeting you, but now I must go to work... oh and by the way, nice punch." Fred added before he apparated to the shop.

"Okay..." said Jess, "Well hi George... How's your nose, by the way?" she asked. Then Jess totally started checking George out! It was so funny looking... George must have noticed too, 'cause he was smiling down at her.

"The nose is fine." He assured her, "and it's nice to see you again, but I kinda got to go to work now before my dear twin messes something up... so I'll talk to you later perhaps?" she smiled.

"Yes I would love to talk to you when you have the time, to get to know you better..." Whoa! Was Jessica ACTUALLY flirting with George Weasley? This was too good... "well have fun at work."

"Work, fun... well maybe only when my favorite customer is there." George said, heading to the fireplace with Jess following. (I don't know why he decided to floo, since he can apparate but...) He took a pinch of floo powder and Jessica asked,

"Who?"

"You." George said, throwing down the floo powder and calling, "Weasley's Wizarding Wheezes!" and vanished.

"He's a keeper." Dawn, Heather, and I all said in unison.

"And he's sexy!" Dawn added.

"Yes and yes." Jessie said. "...Where'd everyone go to?" she asked a second or two later.

"Well, Molly & Mad-eye are in the kitchen with Dumbledore. Ginny is upstairs. Ron, 'Mione, and Harry are in the living room. Ron and Harry are playing chess and Hermione is reading "The Truth Behind House-elf Enslavement"." I said. That house-elf book sounded really boring... anyway, Heather decided to ask,

"Speaking of house-elfs, where's that nasty little bugger Kreatcher?" Everyone turned to me as I grinned my evil grin.

"Oh, well... he said he wanted his head hung up on the wall... so I put it up over my dear-no-good-for-bitching-Grandma's picture... of coarse, I had help from Fred and George, who were more than happy to do something to shut that old hag up." My friends laughed, amused with my twisted little mind.

We heard a Pop, followed by my grandmother's muffled screaming. We went into the next room and saw Snape, Jessica's father. Me, Heather, and Dawn chased everyone out of the room so that Moony could have her special little family reunion. Anyway, Harry, Ron, Hermione, the Marauders (minus Jessica) and I went up into Ron and Harry's room. Anyway, we decided to chat a bit.

"What the bloody hell was that all about?" Ron asked.

"Leave Jess alone. She hasn't seen him in about eleven years..." Heather said.

"She actually KNOWS Snape?" Harry asked in shock.

"Knows him? They're related!" Heather blurted out.

"HEATHER! YOU WEREN'T SUPPOSED TO TELL!" Dawn said, covering Heather's mouth even though it was already too late.

The Golden Trio was staring at Heather.

"What do you mean, related? Do you mean to tell me that my dear brother George has fallen for a SNAPE?" Ron exclaimed.

"Looks like it." I said, plopping down onto Harry's bed. I like Harry. He's probably the only one besides Remus who misses Sirius Black as much as I do. Heather noticed me spacing out and nudged me.

"You okay?" Hermione asked me.

"Oh... yeah... just thinking about Sirius..." I trailed off. "I wonder if they put my stuff in his room yet?" I asked myself out loud. Harry seemed a bit angry.

"Why are you staying in Sirius' room?" he asked me. Yep. He was angry.

"It was her request." Heather said, mad that Harry was being so rude about it. "It's the only thing she has left of him. Give her a break..."

"What about me? I miss Sirius more than ANYONE else does. All I have are a few crummy letters he sent me and that Firebolt... He was the closest thing I had to family, and it's all my fault he's gone. How much do you think I miss him?" he asked. I felt my anger rising, then I pretty much exploded on Harry.

"WELL SORRY IF I WANT ANYTHING THAT BELONGED TO HIM! OH, I'M SO SELFISH, AREN'T I? HAVEN'T SEEN THE GUY IN YEARS AND THEN I FIND OUT HE'S DEAD. OH YEAH, THAT WAS A HAPPY DAY NOW WASN'T IT? I'M SORRY HARRY, YOU'RE RIGHT. YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE WHO MISSES HIM, AREN'T YOU? NO, JUST FORGET ABOUT HIS BEST FRIEND REMUS AND HIS FAMILY NOW, DON'T YOU?" I yelled.

"I KNOW REMUS MISSES SIRIUS, I DIDN'T MEAN THAT I WAS THE ONLY ONE. SIRIUS' FAMILY WOULDN'T MISS HIM ANYWAY, THEY HATED HIM JUST AS MUCH AS HE HATED THEM!" Harry yelled back.

"You're wrong, Harry." we turned to see Remus standing in the doorway. "Sirius hated a large portion of his family, but he's related to the Weasleys, Tonks... then there was Trinity, the only girl Sirius ever fell in love with and married, there was you, Lily, and James, who were as good as family to him... then of coarse, there was Samantha." he explained.

By now I was just laying on Harry's bed, covering my head with his pillow to stop me from screaming.

"What?" Harry asked Remus, looking from my godfather to me.

"She's his daughter, Harry. She's the only one who never lost faith in him when he was convicted and put in Azkaban... She's the only one who actually WENT to Azkaban to visit him when she was only six years old. She didn't care about the Dementors. She would have lived there with them if she could have. Even I thought Sirius was guilty, but Sam, she never doubted him. She went to see him maybe 5 times while he was still in Azkaban, and only saw him four times after he escaped.

The Golden Trio was shocked. They were in awe at what Remus was telling them.

"Why didn't he tell me he had a daughter?" Harry asked quietly.

"He didn't want to put her in any danger, Harry. A convicted murderer's daughter and the god-daughter of a werewolf... not exactly good for a girl's reputation, if you get my drift. You've met her before though, Harry. You two were always together as babies. She was even there the night you got your scar, but Trinity had taken her to look for Sirius only minutes before Voldemort arrived at Godric's Hollow and killed your parents. Trinity heard they had taken Sirius away and disappeared. I ended up with Samantha, and she hasn't went to school because of her father's reputation... but she will be at Hogwarts this year." Remus said.

"I-I'm sorry." Harry said to me. "I didn't know..." he trailed off.

"That's okay Harry. Unlike you, I'm used to people not knowing I exist. Don't worry about it." At first he looked offended by what I had just said, but he realised I was just playing and smiled.

"Harry, I'm quite aware that my father was like family to you, and I miss him just as much as you do, seeing as he was my real family, but don't worry about it. If you ever need to talk about my dad, just come find me." I assured him. That's when I decided that Harry would be my new family. We'd have to look out for each other. We didn't have anything left now. Nothing but our friends and Remus. I'm glad I met Harry today.
