Lupin is pacing Dumbledore's office. Amelia is watching him. Chrissy is with Harry, Ron and, Hermione in the Gryffindor Common room. Moody steps out of the fireplace. Everyone looks at him.

"She's safe."

Amelia jumps up and hugs him.

"Thank you!"

Lupin smiles weakly and falls into a chair.

"Where is she now?"

"She's home with her father."

"I have to tell Chrissy. Where is she?"

"I'll show you where she is. Harry, Ron, and Hermione will want to know she's safe."

Remus and Amelia leave to go find their daughter.

"Is she all right?"

"As far as I can tell Lucius kept his word."

"Good."

"How did you find me?"

"Malfoy told us where to go."

"Who took me there?"

"I'm not sure. I think it was Wormtail."

"I'm home so tell me where you got these robes."

"Regulus."

"Your brother? I thought Voldemort killed him."

"He did. These were in his room. I didn't throw them out because I thought they may come in handy, and they did. They helped me get my little girl back."

He smiles at her. She stands up and hugs him.

"Did I tell you I love you?"

"I think you did, But a father can never hear that to many times."

Adrian smiles and kisses him on the cheek.

Lupin leads his wife up the stone steps to Gryffindor tower. He stops in front of the portrait of the Fat Lady.

"I remember you two."

They smile.

"I suppose you need in, but you don't know the password."

"You know me well."

"I think Harry told me the password was: Aponte?"

The portrait swung open.

"Remus how did you know that?"

"Like I said Harry told me."

"Sure he did."

They walk into the common room. To see Harry pacing in front of the fire, Hermione watching him, and Ron and Chrissy playing a game of Chess that neither one of them was really paying much attention to.

"What a lively group you are."

"Professor Lupin!" (Ron)

"Did you find her, dad!" (Duh... this is Chrissy)

"Where is she!" (Harry)

"Is she ok?" (Hermione)

"One at a time. Ok Chrissy first."

"Did you find her?"

"Yes."

"Where is she?"

"At home."

"Is she ok?"

"Yes."

"Can we go see her?" (All four)

Remus looks at Amelia.

"I guess. As long as it's ok with the Headmaster."

Snape walks in the Slytherin common room

"They found her"

"Can I see her?"

"Tomorrow."

"Where are we?"

"Nowhere important. It's just Adrian's house."

Draco raised an eyebrow.

"Adrian's house?"

"Yes. Well actually it's her father's."

"Mother's?"

"Yes these were some of the things from her school years. Don't ask me were she got some of it or why she kept it."

He pulls an old hat out of the box, and laughs.

"What is it?"

"This is a cursed hat. Your mother gave it to me as a prank. I didn't fall for it. I think she was disappointed."

He rummages through the box and pulls out a photo album.

"I didn't know she had this."

The album is full of photos from school. The first one is a photo of a young girl in her school uniform. She was a first year. Another picture showed a young girl with a Quidditch team the girl looked like she was at least in her 3rd year. Sirius kept turning pages and telling the stories behind some of the pictures. Near the end of the book was a picture of a distinguish man, his wife and two daughters. You could tell the girls didn't get along well. The oldest was beside her father. Her sister stood on the other side of her mother. As far away as they could be and still be in the picture.

"That's how they were until they both got married I think they tried to get along for me and Remus. Addie was like her father. Always in the spotlight. Amelia is more like her mother. Though they haven't spoken much since she married Remus. Cornelius told her to ignore Amelia. I think that hurt her worse than when her father refused to come to the wedding."

He turned the page once more. Adrian saw a picture of her father with his two best friends. They were all three wearing Tuxedos. The next picture was of a woman in a beautiful white dress. She was smiling at Sirius.

"Your wedding?"

"Yep. I have more pictures of this somewhere."

Adrian looks back down at the book. The last picture was so big it took up the whole page the picture was of Adaleigh Black with her best friend.

"Narsissa."

"They were friends. We had a house right next door to them. Until your mother was killed."

"She was killed?"

"Yes. I went to Dumbledor after I had seen the Dark Mark over the house I didn't go in knowing what I would find. The only ones to believe I hadn't killed your mother were Lilly, James, Dumbledor, Amelia and Remus. Dumbledor stood before your grandfather and pleaded my case. Your grandfather let me off after James told them I was with him and Lilly all day to let Adaleigh rest. Then the Potter's were killed and I was charged with thirteen deaths including my old school friend Peter Pettigrew."

"Do you know who killed her?"

"I have an idea, but as I'm a convict no one will listen to me. They would send me straight to Azkaban."

"But father Azkaban is empty."

"What?"

"The prisoners and the Dementors are gone."

"He has a full army then?"

"I suppose so."

"Does Dumbledor know this?"

"I learned that when I was at that house."

"I have to tell him!"

He rushes out of the room and down the hall then into the kitchen.

"What's wrong Sirius?"

"I've got to tell Dumbledor!"

"Tell him what?"

The two men walk to a corner. Lupin looks shocked.

"I'll go you stay with Amelia and the children." (Remus)

"I couldn't protect them." (Sirius)

"I can't stay..." (Remus)

"I'll go."

Dumbledor is pacing in his office. Snape is in his Dungeon classroom making a potion. Minerva is up in a tower somewhere. Sprout is in the greenhouses. Flitwick is in his charms classroom putting things away. And many many miles away one Bellatrix Lestrange is walking into an empty sitting room at the old Riddle house.

Bella looks around the room.

"Wormtail!"

The man runs into the room.

"What is it?"

"She's gone!"

"What do you mean?"

"She's not here! She's gone!"

Adrian looks at her father.

"I have to go back to the school anyway, and I'm the only one with all the information."

"She's right Sirius. Amelia and I will go with her. We need to get back anyway."

Sirius looks at his daughter.

"I have to go."

"I know angel. I just..."

"I'll come back when I can."

He walks over to his daughter, hugs her and kisses her on the top of her head.

"Be careful."

"I will daddy."

Adrian walks over to her uncle.

"I'm ready"

"Are you sure?"

Adrian nods.

"Positive. Lucius told me himself."

"Do you trust him?"

"He told me you were coming for me. I believe he made sure everyone was gone so Mad-Eye and my father could come for me."

Dumbledor nods. Adrian leaves his office and heads to the common room. She lays down on a couch and falls asleep.

"What are we going to do?"

"There's nothing we can do right now. We just have to wait."

"Wait for what?"

"The inevitable. Did he talk to her?"

"He did."

"He told her about her mother?"

"Some. I don't think he told her everything though."

"She must know."

"If he doesn't tell her I will."

Remus turns and leaves.

Draco walks into the common room and sees Adrian. He smiles and sits at her feet. He touches her shoulder lightly.

"Adrian. Adrian wake up."

She opens her eyes and looks at him.

"What?"

"Why don't you go to bed?"

She nods. Draco pulls her to her feet and takes her to her dorm. She smiles at him and kisses him on the cheek.

"Thanks."

"For what?"

"For being here for me."

She walks into her room, lays down, and falls asleep in minutes.

Sirius is sitting on Adrian's bed looking through the box of Adaleigh's old things. He picks a teddy bear up looks at it for a minute then puts it on Adrian's pillow.

"It was Adaleigh's now it belongs to Adrian."
