"Nikki!" Harry yelled up the stairs. "Nikki, are you ready?"

"Yeah, I'm coming" Nikki walked down the stairs towards Harry. Harry was amazed by the sight in front of him. She was stunning. Her dark hair fell in curls down her back. She had on a simple white gown that glittered in the light. It was strapless and hung loosely to the ground.

"You look amazing" he commented, sweeping her hand in his and kissing it.

"Well thank you. You don't look that bad yourself Mr. Chief of CSO." she said while taking his arm.

"Ah, we should hurry, we don't want to be late"


Nikki looked around. The only reason she agreed to come to this dinner was because Harry and her father wanted her to go. There was one of these fancy dinners every month, they were starting to get boring. She looked around, it was a bunch of agents and ministry officials. She looked over at her father. It had only been eight years since he was officially free. She remembered it like it was yesterday they had caught Peter Petegrew after the Voldemort Attack in the Department of Mystery's. He was so happy and the ministry offered him a job because they felt guilty. He moved up the ranks faster than any one and in five short years he became the Deputy Ambassador. She's never seen him happier. He was laughing, now, with all his friends, friends of stature and money.

She looked over at Harry, he was talking to his head of his department, Angus. He was the Executive Director of the Intelligence Department. Harry was the Chief of Counterintelligence and Special Operations. She had to admit, Harry did well for himself, and he was quiet handsome. Her father has wanted her and Harry to date since they were teens. The thought of his best friends son/godson dating his daughter was perfect to him. Now that they were getting older her father pushed marriage. But Nikki didn't see Harry like that. She loved Harry like a brother nothing more. She dated a lot though, always afraid that she might miss out on her soul mate.

"Well hello luv" came a voice behind her. Nikki turned around to see Napoleon. Her face lit up to see such a familiar face.

"Hey. You clean up well" she said eyeing him. He was dressed in his uniform without any holes or patches. He took most of his piercing out and his hair was well kept.

"I can't say the same for you"

"haha" she said mockingly.

"I'm just kidding you look stunning." He meant that too. When he first saw her, she took his breathe away.

"Ah, Nikki I see you've met my right hand man" Harry came up behind Nikki and placed his arm around her.

"Napoleon? He's your assistant?"

"Yup, Napoleon don't bother her too much. I'm going to go talk to your father" he kissed her cheek and left Napoleon and Nikki to themselves. "I can't believe your Harry's assistant. Your the guy he's always talking about"

"Nothing good I suppose?" he asked. Nikki smirked at him. Harry and Napoleons personalities always crashed, they seamed to always have disagreements. "Would you like to dance?"

"Sure" Nikki said while setting down her drink. A slow number came on and they danced slowly. Napoleon had his arm on her waist and her arms were around his neck. "So you and Harry eh?"

"Were not a couple." she stated.

"Your not?" Napoleon furrowed his brow.

"No we're just really good friends. My father is his godfather. As much as my dad would like to see us together, I doubt it will ever happen."

"Who's your father?"

"That one over there" she said pointing at a man in a fine suit sitting with all the top dogs.

"That's your father?" he asked in disbelief. "Sirius Black? The Deputy Ambassador?"

"Yeah" That was the usual response. Everyone always wanted to get in good with her so that way they'd get in good with her father.

"I didn't know he had a daughter"

"Very few people do. They don't want it publicized in case someone wants to attack him."

"I see"


Sirius looked over at his daughter, he loved her so much. She had had a rough past so he only wished that she could find a honest man that would love and support her. He remembered when he first met her. A year after he broke out of Azkaban he asked Dumbledore about his girlfriend that he loved so much before he was sentenced to Azkaban, Amy Taylor. Dumbledore didn't give him much details and had handed him a address. Dumbledore also said to trust the girl he comes in contact with because she will provide him with all his answers. So Sirius set off to a small town in the states and came across an old beat up house.


:FLASHBACK:

There came a knock at the door, Nikki cursed under her breath. She didn't want her step dad to wake up. He was still asleep from his hangover and if he woke up know he would surely find a reason to yell at her. Nikki raced to the door and opened it before the person could knock again.

Sirius' POV

A girl appeared in the doorway. She looked a bit disheveled and she had a small bruise on the inside of her left eye. What Sirius realized more than anything was that this girl looked remarkably like Amy. It was definitely Amy's daughter, which would mean Amy married just about the time Sirius was sent to Azkaban.


"Can I help you with something?" Nikki asked. She stared at the man before her, she recognized him.

"Umm..yes,...does Amy Taylor live here?" Sirius asked.

Nikki stared at the man. "Who are you?" She asked suspiciously.

Not that Sirius could see that it was any of this girls business, he answered anyway. "Well, I'm an old friend from her school, can I speak to her-"

"Nicole! Where in the hell are you!" a voice echoed through out the tiny house. The man who yelled was obviously very drunk and angry.

The girl looked panic stricken, and quickly tried to shoo Sirius away. "You have to go!" she said urgently.

"But-" Sirius began.

"Listen, meet me at the old diner down the street. I'll be there around midnight." With that she slammed the door leaving Sirius baffled. He had no idea what this girl wanted, he just wanted to see Amy, but he would meet this girl any way.


Sirius sat at a booth in the diner. It was a small town and the diner was very dingy. There was only two other people in the Diner, they sat at the front drinking coffees. Sirius had been waiting an hour and the girl had yet to show up.

"Can I get you anything else?" the waitress asked.

"No thanks" Sirius said. He put a few dollars on the table and gathered his coat. At that moment the girl that resembled Amy walked in, looking nervous.

"I'm sorry I'm late" she said sitting down at the booth. Sirius stared down at the girl. Half of him wanted to leave, the girl was obviously rude and didn't show up on time, why should he stay to see what she has to say? But the other half of him was curious about the daughter of his former fiance. Sirius made up his mind and sat down. The girl had a different aurora about herself. She looked worried and worn form experience. He also realized a new bruise, it was very large and took up most of her right cheek.

"How did you get those bruises?" Sirius asked, not caring if he sounded rude. The girl put her hand to her cheek and looked away. She didn't seem as though she would answer, so Sirius changed the subject. "So, is Amy your mother?" he asked. At this the girl looked up at him.

"Was" she stated.

"what do you mean 'was'?"

"I mean, she was my mother. She died five years ago." Sirius felt as though someone punched him in the stomach.

"How?" he said hoarsely.

"Cancer."

Nikki realized the look on his face and knew that the news upset him. "She loved you very much." She said quietly.

Sirius looked up at her. "You know who I am?" he asked.

"You are Sirius Black, are you not?" she asked questioningly. Sirius stared at her not knowing what to say.

"Are you not?" she asked again more persistent.

Sirius shook his head yes slowly. A smile spread from ear to ear across Nikki's face.

"I knew it!" She cheered. "I knew it!" she said again gaining the glance's of the other people in the diner.

Sirius looked around nervously "Would you keep it down!" Sirius urged. When she calmed down he asked, "And who are you?"

"I Mr. Black" she said triumphantly, standing up to shake his hand, "Am Nicole Iris Black."
