Autumn awaked slowly and looked up into Ron and Harrys concern faces. They looked upset, and Harry carefully pulled her to her feet.
"Wh—what happened?" she asked trembling.
"You look white as a ghost" Harry said, then looked away and under his breath Autumn could of swore he said quietly "you look beautiful that way". She blushed and looked down, Ron looked jealous at Harry. He held out his hand and, Autumn took it, red hair flowing around her as she leaned against Ron. Hermione looked angry and uncomposed (AN: is that the right word?) and stomped off curly hair bouncing. Autumn watched her go.
"Is she okay?" She said lip trembling.
Harry sat down beside her protectively. "She's fine, I dunno what her problem is. Are YOU okay?"
"I dont know what happened. It was all dark and then..." her eyes grew wide and she covered her face in her hands, "I heard screams, something like 'No not serious please not serious' ." She looked up at Ron who looked pale. "Harry" he said horsely "that sounds like what harry heard,"
Harry turned red "yes but I wasnt out as long as her."
Ron laughed and said "Harry went unconscus too but he woke up we were more worried about you."
A man suddenly entered the compartment and Autumnshrieked holding onto Harry, ROn looked nondiscomrited (AN: sp?) and turned a little red which brought out his cute freckles. "Oh hello Professor."
The Professor smiled. "Glad to see you're awake dear." He was wearing shabby clothes and Autumn looked askance at him with one eyebrow delicately raised. "Dear?" she thought amused.
"Oh I'm sorry I'm Professor Lupin."
"Lupin?" She looked shocked and Hary and Ron immediatley asked what was wrong. "Nothing "she murmered softly and Lupin looked a bit taken aback.
Harry jumped in to cover her up saying "Professor she heard screaming too something about 'serious'."
Lupin' sface went even paler than its unnatural paleness it had before. He looked shocked and ran a hand through his hair. "You must be the long-lost daughter of Sirius Black!"
Autumn turned pink. "The convict? No sir surely you are crazy I couldn't possibly be"
"What is your mother's name"
"Estella"
"Estella" Lupin breathed softly, his eyes took on a faraway gaze and he smiled secretive. "Yes, Sirius loved her, he promised her the moon even, he would have gone to the ends of the earth for her."
"You know my mother?" tears shone in Autumns eyes and they began to roll down her cheeks. Harry held her close.
"Yes. She was Sirius's wife but secret beuase they couldn't tell anyone...and then..." he looked at Harry. "Never mind, I'll talk to you later about this." Harry looked confused but looked down at the girls' beautiful face shining with tears and felt protective all of a sudden. "Shh, it's all right"he said. "I'm sure your father was a good man not the convict he is now"
Lupin smiled and left the compartment again. Hermione entered angrily. SHe didn't look so good when she was angry, and Ron inched away from her when she sat down and began huffily to go through her books.
"Reading again Mione? School hasn't began you know."
"Yes Ronald I know." Autumn rolled her eyes at the other girl's whinyness and sat down beside Harry to enjoy the rest of the ride to Hogwarts.
Sirius Black. He was a powerful wizard. She smirked. Maybe she would be powerful too only good.
