SUMMARY

Cordelia Gemini Black is a half-blood witch, daughter of the infamous Sirius Black. The night at the Department of Mysteries, she saved her father from being murdered by his cousin Bellatrix Lestrange. Now three years later the war is over and she, her father, her god-brother and Remus Lupin decide that they have had enough of the wizarding world. They have decided that a break is in order.

The quartet decides to leave England altogether for America, to Washington to be exact. There, Cordelia and Harry enroll in Forks High School as seniors and meet Bella Swan along with the Cullens. Immediately knowing what they are, Cordelia tries to steer clear of these creatures particularly the tall burly one who seems to be especially interested in her. Will she be successful or will she get sucked into the drama that surrounds Bella Swan's life?

The war was over, Voldemort and his Death Eaters were defeated, now it was time to move on with life. But that was not something that was easily accomplished. True many of the war heroes went on back to Hogwarts to finish their 7th year, but that was not the case for Harry James Potter and his God- Sister Cordelia Gemini Black, daughter of Sirius Black. They decided that instead of returning to Hogwarts they would take their N.E.W.T's and graduate early. The day they took their tests, the god siblings returned to 12 Grimmauld Place where Sirius and Remus were waiting for them.

"So…" Sirius asks as he set down his copy of the Daily Prophet down.

"So, we passed, Dad, it was incredibly easy," Cordelia tells her father.

"Speak for yourself, Cord, that was bloody hard," Harry says as he flops down next to Remus who chuckles.

"Well, what do you plan to do now," Remus asks the two teenagers.

"Kingsley offered me a chance to get into the Auror program, but I don't know if I want to get into it right now," Harry tells the two men.

"And I was offered a chance to get into the Healer program, but I'm with Harry I don't know if I want to start right now. I feel like we deserve a break."

Sirius suddenly stands up, "Then why don't you two do that, take a break. Why don't we go on vacation, to France or Bulgaria, we could visit Viktor." Sirius says wiggling his eyebrows at his daughter.

Cordelia rolls her eyes at her father. True she and Viktor dated briefly after he and Hermione had, but that was a long time ago and he was now engaged.

"Let's not and say we did, Dad. Besides Harry and I have already been there, I don't know about Harry but I want to go somewhere new and honestly someplace not in the wizarding world."

"You know that sounds like a good idea, I could use a break from all this." Harry agrees.

Sirius gasps, "How would we survive without magic, we don't know anything about the Muggle world."

"Speak for yourself." Remus, Cordelia, and Harry said.

Sirius rolls his eyes, "Oh please, just because you both are half-bloods doesn't mean you know anything about the Muggle World. If anything Moony is the only expert, having worked in the Muggle World before."

"Might I make a suggestion," Remus asks.

"What, Uncle Remus?" Cordelia asks her godfather.

"I suggest we go to America. The Wizarding World is more advanced in America and they can help us fit in better in the Muggle, or No Maj World as they call it."

Harry suddenly sits up, "I think that's a brilliant idea, what do you guys say?"

Sirius and Cordelia look at each other, a sly grin comes over both of their faces.

"Okay, we're in," Cordelia says.

"Alright then let's head over to Gringotts and get everything ready, are we traveling by plane or international portkey?" Remus asks.

"Aeroplane," Sirius says.

Cordelia and Harry look at each other, "That's airplane, Dad" Cordelia corrects.

Sirius sticks his tongue out at his daughter, "I know."

Remus sniggers, "I think an international portkey would be better, this way we can go right to MACUSA, then from there we'll take a plane to wherever we decide to go."

They all agree with Remus then head out to Gringotts to get their paperwork in order, and to get an international Portkey. Once that was settled, they inform the Order that they will be taking a vacation to America, but that they could still use the house. Things had been a lot quieter in the house since Cordelia figured out that if they used Muggle cleaning products and steel wool they could remove her grandmother's portrait from the wall. Kreacher devastated but then Cordelia suggested that they set up a shrine to Regulus in his old room and that Kreacher could maintain it for them. That pleased the little house elf to no end.

"Just one question where in America are we going to live?" Harry asks his godfather.

"Well, The Noble and Most Ancient House of Black has several homes in America, once we talk to MACUSA we'll decide which house and which coast." Sirius explains, "But for now off to bed both of you we need to get an early start tomorrow."

Cordelia hugs and kisses her father and godfather, while Harry hugs both men. They make their way up to their rooms, but before they can sleep, they each decide to go ahead and pack their rooms up.

The next day the quartet are invited over to the Weasley's for breakfast. Hermione, Ginny, and Ron had gotten permission from Headmistress McGonagall to come to have breakfast with the family in order to say goodbye to Harry and Cordelia. Professor McGonagall decided that she too would go along to say her goodbyes.

Once everyone had arrived, they all sat down to have breakfast. Everyone had shown up, everyone from the Order, Charlie, Bill, Fleur, and of course Fred and George.

"To a new adventure!" Fred toasted as he raised his glass of pumpkin juice to the group of travelers. Everyone followed his example.

"Where are you going to go?" Hermione asks.

"We don't rightly know, it all depends on where MACUSA says we can live," Sirius says.

"Why do they have a say?" Ginny asks.

"Because since I'm a werewolf, I need to be in a place where they can locate me. So we decided it would be best if they tell us where we can live." Remus explains.

"I thought their creature law were more relaxed than here," Hermione asks.

"They are, but there are certain areas where werewolves are not allowed to go, the one I know of is New Jersey, I don't know if there are other places I can't go to."

Everyone in the room nods. Once breakfast was over Professor McGonagall says goodbye to Harry, Cordelia, Sirius and Remus and heads off back to Hogwarts. Then the girls hug Cordelia and tell her that she needs to write once she gets settled. Ron then comes up and gives her and Harry a hug and tells them he's going to miss them. When he steps away, Ginny gives Harry a kiss on the lips and hugs him tightly.

After all the goodbyes are said, Sirius, Remus Cordelia and Harry take hold of an old shoe. Remus says the password and they all feel a hook behind their belly buttons and are whisked away to America.
