A/N: This story is only going to be three chapters. It was going to be a oneshot but it was far too long.
This story is dedicated to Ellie, my best friend, because she's always there for me and always makes me laugh! Even though she always laughes at me.
Disclaimer: I do not own Harr Potter.
"Lestrange . . ." said Harry aloud.
"Their in Azkaban," said Sirius shortly.
"You never said she was your-"
"Does it matter if she's my cousin?" snapped Sirius. "As far as I'm concerned she's not my family. She killed my . . ." Sirius stopped abruptly realizing what he was about to say.
Harry eyed him suspiciously. "Sirius, is there something you haven't told me?"
"It depends," he said slowly, not knowing whether to tell him or not. "Do you have time and want to see another tragedy story?"
"I have time, but . . ." Harry didn't know whether he wanted to hear Sirius' story.
"Should I show you anyway?"
"What do you mean show?"
"I'd show you my Pensieve, ever seen or been in one?"
"Once or twice," said Harry "you'd show me?"
"Yeah, are you coming?"
"I guess so," Harry said nervously "yeah, I'm coming."
"Then lets go," said Sirius, pulling out a draw with a Pensieve in it, once again Harry was being pulled into someone's thoughts and memories.
They were in the Gryffindor common room and the Marauders were sitting around the fire. Harry's stomach did a flip, before him was his father, and sitting next to him was Peter Pettigrew. Sirius was eying a girl on the other side of the room. Sitting next to her was Harry's mother, Lily Evans.
"She said yes to you?" asked Remus, for the fifth time that afternoon, "and you?" he said gesturing to James.
"Look, Remus. Do you want us to prove it?" asked James, who wasn't tired of Remus asking him, he was actually enjoying it.
"Yeah, okay prove it," said Remus, who was excepting James to say I was joking, haha, got you any minute now.
Instead James called out to Lily. "Oi! Lily, looking forward to Saturday?"
"You know I am James," she said and turned back to giggle with the girl Sirius was eying, she had long, straight brown hair and blue eyes.
Remus nodded, "what about you, Sirius?"
Harry watched as his godfather, instead of just asking her, went over and started to snog the girl Lily was with.
Sirius smiled at his younger self, they were being pulled out of the Pensieve and Sirius and Harry just stared at each other for a while.
"Who was she?" Harry asked after awhile.
"Anya Greene, the most beautiful person to live, after six years of asking her out, she finally said yes in our seventh year. She was your mother's best friend and she had a big family, eleven people in her family."
Harry stared at Sirius for a while, something had happened and Harry wasn't sure whether he wanted to know.
"You liked her for six years?"
"Yeah, but she thought, just like Lily did, that we were big headed prats that loved attention and used girls," said Sirius. "Which we were."
Harry laughed, "how come she ended up going out with you then?"
'She couldn't resist the charm I had," said Sirius laughing, "no; actually I have no idea, for all I know that could be it, during our seventh year we stopped pranking people as much as we did, because James didn't want to ruin his chances with Lily and I didn't want to ruin mine with Anya."
"She had eleven people in her family?"
"Yeah, should have kept in touch but a certain rat got in the way of that," said Sirius bitterly. "She was one of the oldest children, she has two older twin brothers, another older brother and an older sister, the others were all younger than her," Sirius paused. "She would look after them all each time a new one came to Hogwarts, she would help with homework and do their hair if they had a date, she would do anything for them, they probably hate me now."
"She sounds really nice," said Harry.
"She was, people do terrible things, Harry, you should understand of all people."
"I do," said Harry, wondering where this conversation was going.
"After dinner I will show you some more, if you can take it, or I can take it."
