A/N: Hey, I want to say thank you for all my reivews! It's been so good.
Bec wanted so much to ask Lupin about her dad, it was what occupied her thoughts all day, especially when she had his class. Her mum had told her not to though, and betraying her mum was the last thing she wanted to do. For some reason her mum had always said betraying someone was the worst thing you could do. She said it nearly every day, it was strange, Bec always hated hearing it.
"Don't even betray your friends, family, husband, children, anyone. It's the worst thing you could do and it completely ruins you life!"
Hermione had told her not to mention her father to Lupin, as it might change her grades.
Ron had just said not to do it, because her mother believed in not betraying anyone, and Harry said not to because she could always talk to Dumbledore.
Dear Mum,
We just had our first Hogsmede trip, just then. It was great, though we had it without Harry. He had a chat with Lupin. We went to the Shrieking Shack and to all the shops. It was the best thing ever! It was like a tiny Diagon Alley. Anyway tonight we have the feast for Halloween. It's going to be great; it always is, except last year we all went to Nick's Dead Day Party. It was horrible, but I already told you about that last year.
So after the feast I'll tell you what happened and send you another letter, but I might do that tomorrow because I'm already tired and its only four o'clock.
Love you,
Bec
Stephanie was glad she didn't mention anything about her father, today and tomorrow would just be too hard to say anything like that. Today was the death day of Lily and James Potter and tomorrow was the death day of Peter Pettigrew. All killed by Sirius Black, well Lily and James were betrayed by him anyway.
Stephanie woke up to the sounds of owls. She got out of bed, it was Monday and she usually didn't like to be woken up early on Mondays but she knew it must be from Bec.
There were three owls sitting on the window sill, all she knew. One of them was Remus', the other was Elvis and the last one was the newspaper owl.
Mum,
Quick letter because I just wanted to tell you Sirius Black was in Ron's bed last night! He came in a slashed the curtains around his bed. It was so scary, thinking that Sirius Black was in the castle, the night that Harry's parents died, though Harry never mentions it.
I just wanted to tell you, love you.
Steph was freaked out; luckily it wasn't Bec that was in the room. But poor Harry and Ron, they must have been so scared. Another owl arrived, this one she didn't know, but she ignored it, the newspaper was the next one to open.
BLACK'S VICIOUS ATTACK ON STUDENT AT HOGWARTS!
Last night Sirius Black entered Hogwarts undetected and managed to get into the dorm room of Harry Potter and his friends.
Luckily Black got the wrong bed and slashed the wrong curtain, no one was hurt but the mental scars inflicted on the students will be with them forever.
Naturally the school was searched many times, but no entrance for him to be able to get through was found, it is likely that he left in a hurry after the boy screamed for help.
'Who knew he was going to turn out like that?' Stephanie asked herself.
She then opened Remus' letter. It was short.
I trust Bec has told you all about what happened last night and I'm sure she filled you in on all the details. The other owl you have received is from Dumbledore, just telling you not to panic and stay calm, you know the drill. There is no use running away like last time, the Ministry don't know where you are and neither does he.
Remus.
Dumbledore's letter was exactly what Remus said it was going to be like, it also said that Bec needed to know about her father soon, or she would resort to asking anyone and even looking up information herself, and that can lead to terrible things, that was how Voldemort found out about his mother and father. His father ended up dead with his grandparents a few months later.
The words stung Steph like nothing else had. She now knew what she had to do, and that was not to tell her, not until she asked anyway.
A/N: Sorry it's so short, I'm in the middle of my exmas right now and I really wanted a break so I wrote this chapter.
