Chapter Two.

Recap

'The door opened, a man stepped out and beamed down at Harry. "HARRY!" he exclaimed excitedly.

Harry was stunned. He managed to splutter "S…S…S" before fainting.'

The messy-haired boy heard talking. He opened his eyes, but everything was a blur without glasses. He slowly began to recall what happened the previous night.

Harry suddenly sat up. Samantha and her father jump out of shock from his movement.

"You're awake," she announced before he could speak.

He noticed her for second, surprising himself at how easy it was to look away, then looked at the other side of the bed from her before resting his gaze on her father.

"S…S…Sirius?" his question was barely more than a whisper, but everyone in the room heard.

"Yeah it's me Harry I'm here" Sirius walked towards Harry and held his hand in a fatherly way.

"But how?"

"Well, it's a long a long story. Actually it's not but it took me awhile to understand how it worked. I'll let Sam tell you she's better at explaining than I am."

Harry took his gaze off his godfather and looked at Sam.

"Harry, you have a choice. I can either tell you about myself or how the mutt survived, first. The choice is yours."

"Um…" this was a tough decision, "Sirius first, I think."

"Right then, there's always been a motto in this side of the Black's. It is 'in situations sometimes it is best to disapperate' this is what Sirius did. He understood that if he didn't do something he would die. But he couldn't do that to you. You've already lost enough.

"So he disapperated to a distant island of pure muggles. On the way he transformed into the big mutt. He lost most of his magic. It takes a long time to recover. Someone took pity on the dog and nursed it to health.

"This is when he returned. During that time and now he is classified as dead. So the Black house was passed down the line to me. Bear that in mind it is my house." She added to Sirius. "We three and Dumbledore are the only one's that know about this. Does that make sense Harry?" he took his time registering this information.

"Yeah, I think so. What's your story?"

"My story starts sixteen years ago, when I was born. My parents were Sirius Black and Marie Spirit." She paused.

"You say were?" his green eyes looked into those brown eyes trying to find an answer, but none came from them.

"A year after my father was sent to prison for a crime he didn't commit." She indicated towards Sirius.

"My mother died soon after of a broken heart, she loved him so much she couldn't bear to live with out him.

"I was sent to an orphanage. I moved from home to home never staying long in one place. My Hogwarts letter never came.

"By the age of thirteen, I realized how different I was from these muggles I was in care with, my magic had started to show it's self. So I took my files, left the home and lived on the street. I met a few witches and wizards, understood they were like me and tried to join them. But when I told them my family name was Black they didn't want to know me any more and walked away. I stopped telling people my family name. a elderly witch took me under her wing, as it is said.

"She taught me how to use and control my magic. I didn't know much about my family just who my parents were. She was the closest thing to a mother I had. A couple of months ago we started to get attacked, by death eaters. The last time was just over a month ago. We were attacked by Voldemort. He killed my mother like figer, this made me angry. He'd taken away the closest thing to a family I had. I stepped up to him. He cast the crucio curse on me. I combined what I had learned and what I had made up and threw it at him in defence. It blocked the pain but left a mark. A cross on my right upper shoulder to the left. I passed out. He must of thought I'd died because he left.

"A month ago my luck changed, Dumbledore came to me and I was given a house passed on by the death of my father. I still at that point thought he was in prison, but I didn't know any thing about that prison. A few weeks later this man came to my door. It was my father. He gave me proff." She laughed.

This took longer to understand but she waited patiently for him.

The three were sitting in silence, just enjoying each other's company, when it hit the green-eyed boy, who was lying down on the sofa next to the female. He was going to spend the rest of the holidays with, in his opinion, the most beautiful girl in the world.

She sighed (happily) accidentally bring his attention to her.

He lifted his head in line with hers.

They stared into the other's eyes for what seemed hours. The eye contact was broken. Both blushed at the realization.

"Well, um…, I think it's time we go to bed now don't you?" this was one of the only times she had been lost for words.

"Yeah." This brought up his self-confidence again.

A small chuckle came from the armchair.

"Oi, you old man, what are you laughing at?" her defences came back.

"Oh, me, nothing." Sirius played the innocent act, complete with puppy dog eyes.

"C'mon, bed" Sam ordered.

"Yes mum." Sirius mocked.

He was chased out the room by an angry daughter, followed by a chuckling godson.

Harry awoke the next morning to some happy singing.

He smiled. Today he was meeting up with his friend at diagon alley.

Hey, please review. Sorry this took so long I was stuck for ideas. If you have any ideas for what could happen in the next chapter they would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks to all.
