Risi: Yeah, he does want to get to know her, you'll have to see next chapter though.
Mahia: Is this soon enough for you?
Bailyy: Yeah he does deserve a slap doesn't he? Maybe he'll get one soon. Hint
Disclaimer: I own nothing harry potterish, only Amaya.

Remus was updating his website with the information of the new products he had made when he heard angry footsteps marching down the drive and then into the house. Oh Amaya, what's wrong now? For Remus knew that it took a lot to drive Amaya to the point of truancy, and yet here she was, home on a school day at ten past eleven in the morning.
Slamming her bag down, she discarded her shoes, dropped onto the sofa, and buried her face in the crook of her arms, which she had placed on her knees. Remus hastened immediately to his daughter's side. From the tension in her shoulders, he could see that the reason for her departure was bullies at her school. Hearing her emit a shuddering sob, he pulled her onto his lap and stroked her hair; as he had always done when she was young, and needed him to soothe away the vicious grip of nightmares.
'What's wrong Santhe?'
'Idiots at school', Amaya sniffled, 'they don't even give me a chance. They just judge me by what others say. Damned Shauna probably.'
'I assume by "They" that you mean the transfer students'. Amaya nodded.
'What happened?'
'Well, I was sitting on the stage when one, can't remember his name, thought it funny to take my book…' Amaya broke off. He still has it. '…I go to get it back, and then he starts playing piggy in the middle with his friend.'
'Go on'. Remus sensed, with all of the intuition given to a parent that there was something else.
'Another boy made me fall and my bag flew open….and my wand fell out.' Remus gasped. No they can't know about Amaya being a witch. She's bullied already. The wrong people could find out. He could find out. Pushing these thoughts aside, Remus came to a decision.
'You don't have to go back. I'll ring Steven and explain what happened. He'll understand.' Remus thought it ironic that the way he had gotten to know Amaya's form tutor wasn't through parent's evenings but through frequent phone calls about incidents like this one. Reaching for the phone, Remus enquired as to whether she knew any names, to have his blood run cold. 'Well there was Shauna, a red-head called Ron, and…. And…. Harry Potter.'
Du Du Duhhhhhh. I was thinking, should i make sirius have another family? please read and review.
