"Yes I am a dog. Deal with it. Guest appearance of the cast of keeping up appearences

Sirius Black his adventures In "From Azkaban on four paws."

Azkaban Prison 1993

Looking at the newspaper he had gotten from the inspecting officials. Sirius could not help to stare at the picture or rather the rat in it.

"Wormtail." He snarled.

"That bastard is still alive. After years of blaming himself he found finally an outlet for all the anger and self-loathing inside himself.

All these emotions formed the base for the rage that was building that led to a clarity of mind he hadn't had for years. Looking through the window of his cell he whispered.

"You are going to die Peter. You are going to die for James, for Lily, for Regulus, for Kalypso, For Harry, For Sofia, For Hestia, For Agnes and Damon."

Laughter came from nearby cells. But the next day Sirius Black had the last laugh. Because his cell was empty.

two days later a tired dog crawled on the beach with the last of its strength it hid himself beside a small beach house before it surrendered itself to sleep the sleep of the death.

Hogwarts express

"Hi Nova I didn't know they allowed dogs?" Said Hermione.

"I had to get permission from professor McGonagall. But she agreed so long I took good care of it and kept Snuffles away from the divination teacher." The second year replied.

"Scabbers wat are you doing?" exclaimed Ron while putting the rat in his hands.

"I think hr doesn't like his place on the pecking order." Said a grinning Harry. "We got Hedwig an owl, Crookshanks the cat, and Snuffles the dog and last but not least Scabbers the rat. If I wouldn't know better I would think I was in a Tom and Jerry cartoon. Beside him Hermione and Nova laughed while Ron looked confused.

"what do you mean by a Tom and Jerry sartoon?" This send the other three into laughter.

"It's cartoon Ron and basically it is an animated comic about a cat named Tom and a mouse named Jerry. Explained Nova between giggles.

"My adoptive dad is a big fan from them." She added.

Ron nodded.

After a few more moments of talking Nova left with her dog.

The past few weeks.

Sirius had an easy time evading anyone that was tracking him by keeping to the muggle world and keeping to his dog form. It was easy for him to reach London and a house he hated.

Sneaking inside had been easy and he was surprised by the clean interior. The current caretakers were not so happy to see them.

Kreacher his family house elf just had glared at him and Trinkie Kalypso and Regulus their house elf was just happy that he was out of that nasty place.

After a long bath and a hot meal he had found himself in the lords study looking at a letter that his grandfather had left him. opening the envelope he found a letter and the signet ring of the head of clan Black.

Reading the letter made him learn a few things about what had happened.

Kalypso had disappeared and Actures believed she had died.

Sirius nodded. Kalypso had loved Regulus and her children their disappearance probably had destroyed her. Kalypso was usually a nice and level headed woman but could turn in a force of vengeance when scorned.

He still remembered the wedding when one Lucius Malfoy had opposed the wedding and Regulus should know better and marry into the Umbridge family instead of marrying the daughter of a foreigner and a tramp. There was a reason why Lucius needed a cane after those words and why Narcissa was not a happy lady Malfoy after that. Let just say that there was a bit of a cold war between Kalypso and Narcissa after that. A cold war that made the artic a pleasant summer retreat.

Sirius smiled as he remembered that day. His mother had always approved of the match between Lucius and Narcissa but Regulus was the apple of her eye and Kalypso made him happy so Narcissa did not get many help from her aunt or her sister Bellatrix who found all what had happened hilarious.

It seemed his wife Agnes and their son Damon had disappeared but were alive. What happened to Kalypso and his cousins was not known.

Before his dead his grandfather had made sure that Damon would be heir Black if he would die in Azkaban. Thinking about his lover he smiled they just had the wedding and Damon was born soon after it. Just before he had been thrown in Azkaban.

The search for Sofia and Hestia had still been going on without getting results it seemed. Somebody in the ministry was actively blocking the search for them. When he read the name of said woman he burst into laughter. Umbridge did not seem to like that her and Lucius their plan had failed. Like Actures would lower himself to let Umbridge marry in the Black family to pay of Malfoy his debts.

For now he decided to check on Harry first. Maybe even talk to him.

After having put the letter away he first made sure to find a spare wand and after a while he found one in the collection the family had. After this he told the elves that he was going out

Kreacher cheerfully told him to get caught before being wacked over the head by Trinkie who told Sirius to be careful.

Sirius had a suspicious feeling Harry would have been placed with Lily her sister. Finding a phonebook took a short while a moment later he had a spell looking for Dursley he got a few hits and went down the list he got finding a V. Dursley in a place called Little whinging in Surrey.

Arriving near the house in a nearby park. He seemed to be just in time seeing Harry leave a house with his trunk while a balloon like woman floated through the air. Sirius drank in the sight of Harry before he left on the Knight bus.

After he made sure nobody had seen him especially the oblivators and aurors he decided on another crazy stunt. Visiting the ministry.

The ministry of magic London.

Breaking in the ministry was easy when you did know how to. And James and Sirius had found a few ways. Using some Polyjuice and the hairs of a muggle Sirius just walked into the ministry the next evening pretending to be a student that was going to be using the archives for his research. A few hours later he had what he wanted.

Copies on the files of Agnes, Damon, Harry, Sofia, Hestia and Kalypso. Not surprising he had to fool some spells from them before he could copy them. The most surprising two were monitors spells one from the office of the chief warlock and one from the undersecretary from the minister. Armed with this information he left the ministry and returned to his hideout.

Grimmauld Place

The next day with a calm head he started to make his own dossiers from the information he had gotten and it seemed he had hit the jackpot.

Agnes and Damon were under surveillance because maybe he would make contact with them. Sirius would have loved to visit them but this could not be done. From the file on his son he learned that he had taken after his mother and was in Ravenclaw at Hogwarts. He smiled at that He had won that bet. He had told his wife that their son had probably her brains. Agnes owned a small shop in Leeds it's magical district. No new relationship since he had been thrown into jail it seemed. Her requests for visiting him had been denied by the chief warlock and or the undersecretary of the minister.

Harry his file and dossier could be simply said. Told him almost nothing as most had been redacted. Only people with the right clearance could see the redacted info. Day of birth, his parents and grandparents, Hogwarts house Sirius cheered at him being a Gryffindor. All further information had been redacted like his home address and medical reports had been redacted.

Normally this would be open to healers or aurors if there was an investigation into the person.

Sofia his eldest cousin had been found. But the Black family had never been informed. Not surprisingly because of who at the moment of the investigation headed the department to find children lost through the war. Sirius really started to hate Umbridge. At least her file was nice reading. Nice adoption parents a pair of muggle healers. All vaccinations and in Gryffindor house.

Sirius smiled at that Kalypso would have been a great Gryffindor. He shuddered while thinking that. What if she and Lily had teamed up against the marauders?

Hestia too was adopted by a nice muggle couple one being a police officer and the other was a practicing muggle mind healer with an office at home.

All vaccinations and in Gryffindor house like her sister. Contact between the siblings had not been found a good idea by a certain undersecretary. How predictable Sirius mused.

Kalypso her file was also short. Educated at home and having attended the university of Delphi. Known family, day of birth and medical reports that would have made any auror frown accompanied by various auror investigations that had been railroaded. Sirius frowned at wat he was reading certainly when he noticed who had blocked them. Current whereabouts unknown presumed dead.

Sirius remembered the look in her eyes when she had tried to run in the burning house that had been her family her home.

Past.

"Let me go! Sirius let me go! Their inside." Kalypso screamed while Sirius held her back with both his arms. Tears were running from her eyes while she fought him to get loose from his grip. Sirius watched the house burn no emotion was showing on his face but in his mind he was cursing himself.

"I am sorry Reggie. I am truly sorry." Went on as a mantra going through his head. Over and over without stopping.

Summer holidays 1993.

Tears streaked down his eyes while he thought about that night. It had been getting normal that children disappeared. Children from the families that had been attacked and beside fighting Dead eaters it was the biggest caseload filling thing that was happening at that time. Kalypso just having lost Regulus was completely out of it and losing her children and getting no help from the ministry had made her go over the edge she had disappeared. He had looked for her and for his little cousins but he had not been able to find them. Knowing Kalypso she probably had done something in her grief what had killed her.

Focussing again he went over his files and smiled while thinking about a plan to capture the rat. Hogwarts would maybe be easier than trying capturing Peter at the Weasley house. Knowing that the son was a curse breaker for the goblins he might have added some extras of the lethal kind and knowing that Arthur and Molly both weren't slouches with magic either he rather had some advantage or rather an home ground advantage over the rat.

Hogwarts might be the easiest way. "but how?" He asked himself.

He could sneak in of course and knowing the Weasley's their son would live in a dorm with Harry. Capturing him would be easy except that he didn't know the passwords what would give him a lot of trouble.

A idea started to form in Sirius his mind and he started to smile.

A few days later.

Nymphadora Tonks was cursing the powers that be. She had been put on administration duty because of the Black case. So from now on every morning she and her partner Shacklebolt had to go through cold cases. Shacklebolt did not mind this but his younger just graduated partner hated it. Going over largely minor cases of no consequence. Like this complaint about a minor case of underage magic in Leeds. The boy who had been four had been assaulted by a crup. The woman who owned the crup wanted the case reopened because the boy must be as obvious a dark wizard because she had trained the animal to hunt rhem. Sighing she noted the details for the files on some parchment and went down to the archives.

After finding the files she returned with them to her desk without tripping and put them down. After reading the statement of the investigating auror she wanted to scream according to bystanders the owner a missus Kettlepot had ordered the crup to attack that spawn of house Black. The crup had been confiscated and the owner had been fined.

Opening the file on the victim her eyes grew.

"Kingsley." She said to her partner who looked up. Seeing that she got his attention she gave him the files. Reading the files the man started to frown.

After a moment he stood up and walked to the office of their boss. A while later he returned with the files and told Tonks to get the some other files.

When Tonks had returned all the cold cases had disappeared and the wall of their shared cubicle had been used to write a couple of names down.

Taking the files of his partner Shacklebolt started to put photographs from the dossiers beside the names. On top was a photograph of Sirius Black under it went a photograph of a boy and the name of Damon Black and beside Sirius his photograph went one of a woman named Agnes Black nee Clubber.

Under both the woman and the boy it's photograph Kingsley wrote. Under surveillance.

From other files came other photographs one was of Regulus Black under it was written. Deceased and known Death eater ties.

Beside the photograph of Regulus hung a picture of a woman named Kalypso Black nee Zosime. Missing presumed death.

From the last three files Shacklebolt took three more photographs when he hung them up Tonks eyes grew. One picture only was linked to Sirius. A picture of Harry Potter reading godchild. The other photograph showed each a girl and both were linked to Regulus and Kalypso.

Sofia Black showed a brown haired grey eyed girl around thirteen years old,

The other showed a picture from a near carbon copy of Kalypso Black and under it stood Hestia Nova Black age twelve.

"Heck with all this Blacks we should ask my mum if she knew things about them." Muttered Tonks. She could remember Sirius a bit but not the others.

"Excellent idea trainee Tonks." Said a new voice turning to the new voice the trainee auror her eyes grew. Behind her stood the head of the department of magical law enforcement Amelia Bones.

"I don't think Black will contact any of the children but by various groups of people I am being pressed to investigate the actions of various personnel that worked formerly for the department of missing families and children.

Sofia and Hestia Black don't even know their own family ties to the magical world as do many other children who disappeared in the war.

Because of the Black case we can partly start an investigation in those people." Both aurors nodded at their boss.

"So because they are linked to the Black manhunt we can poke around a bit." Kingsley said. Amelia nodded. "Also the Greek government likes to know what happened to Kalypso Black. It was rumoured she lived with her father as a child but our investigations led us to believe she lived with a sister of him and said woman used another person to present himself as her father in public while she pretended to be her mother."

Amelia Bones nodded. "We suspected both of them of murder but could not prove anything. And interviewing Kalypso was like talking to a wall. Her aunt is the current prime minister of the magical Hellenic Republic. So we would love to solve her disappearance."

Looking at both aurors she said. "Be careful while many want answers some want what happened at that department to be buried." After saying those words madam Bones walked away.

"Well Shacklebolt I am buying lunch." Tonks said.

"That's nice. Where are we going too?"

"My parents. My mum has the day off so she expects me to come over."

Shacklebolt burst out into laughter.

Sirius Black.

The potion was nearly done. Never before Sirius was so happy that he could rival Snape for his brewing skills. With ease he filled the goblet in his hand with the potion he had just made.

"Let the games begin." He whispered before emptying the goblet in one gulp.

A moment later he fell himself falling backwards while he started to scream.

When Sirius woke op he rolled himself on four feet and started to walk to a nearby mirror looking into the mirror he saw a younger version of his animagus form staring at him. The dog looked to be a young grim.

"Perfect." Said Sirius in his mind.

Tonks Residence.

Andromeda Tonks was pleasantly surprised when Tonks and Shacklebolt arrived for lunch.

After a nice meal Tonks asked her mother about Regulus which led to an explanation of why they had partly come.

"Regulus was unlike Sirius known to associate with known Death eaters and a known sympathiser. His marriage to Kalypso did throw a bit of a wrench in the plans of Lucius who had hoped that his debts to the Umbridge family could be paid by allowing Dolores Umbridge to marry in to the Black family. He went as far as to object to the marriage when there was asked if there were any objections against the marriage. He called Kalypso the daughter of a foreigner which was quite hypocritical from him being a second generation child from a French family who came to England and he called her father a tramp.

Narcissa even supported him. I was happy that I left you at home that that Nymphadora because Kalypso her wrath was a work of art to watch and the reason Lucius needs a cane now a day and as much beauty treatments and glamours as your aunt Narcissa.

Tonks smirked at that.

Kalypso and Regulus were truly in love and when Regulus disappeared she nearly died herself and when their house was attacked and their children disappeared. Kalypso broke the last time I saw her was when she was in the ministry demanding to know about the search for her children. Barty Crouch should have handled that a lot better. Calling her a Death eater and because of that her children held no priority. After that she disappeared. Her case like the case of her children remains unsolved to the house of Black."

Andromeda took a sip from her tea and had a faraway look in her eyes for a moment.

"Sirius searched for her but found nothing. I suspect someone killed her. which side I don't know. And then Sirius kept running around as if making a target of himself after Lily and James went into hiding. He was the only one that might have known what had happened to her or her children."

"Mum the ministry had them already placed with foster families on orders of Umbridge. Even now they don't know that they are sisters." Tonks said.

Andromeda gasped and placed her hand for her mouth.

"Madam Bones put us on the case to appease some people. Putting Tonks on the case makes us unable to search for Sirius ma'am." Kingsley added.

Andromeda nodded and gave a shark like smile.

"If you need some help contact me. I know where a lot of skeletons are buried." In her eye shone something that made her daughter shiver.

"Will do ma'am, have a nice day." Said Shacklebolt before standing up

"By mum." Said Tonks following her partners lead.

"Good day Auror Shacklebolt and Nymphadora you should visit more often."

Tonks did not respond at her mother's words. While Shacklebolt laughed.

Jones residence. Fuddleton.

Margret Jones could not help but laugh at the neighbours their antics.

"Poor Richard." She muttered to herself while she saw Richard Bucket being browbeaten by his wife.

"What is amusing you mum?" Asked her daughter Nova who was reading a book on the couch beside her.

"The Buckets luve." At the mention of those neighbours Nova pulled a face.

She liked mister Bucket he was nice and friendly. His wife was another thing.

She definitely was worth of studying according to her mum. that woman had more impact on the neighbourhood than anyone else and not in a good way. "Her antics are just worthy of being studied."

Nova laughed at her mother her words.

That afternoon Nova went out to the nearby park. She wanted to meet some of her friends. Walked into the park she was nearly barrelled over by a young dog. The dog looked at her and started to bark at her before running away to chase a couple of pigeons. Nova laughed at the dog its antics.

Finding her friends hanging out near the playground she had forgotten the dog soon.

Later that afternoon she walked back home. What she not noticed was a certain young dog following her. When she entered the street she lived in she saw the neighbour of the Buckets talking to mister Bucket. She waved at the both of them.

"Hello Nova, It seem your father has some colleagues over from the city." Mister Bucket said.

"Yes we could hear Hyacinth complain about the female officer her choice of hair colour." added the other neighbour mister Hawksworth with a faux female voice he started to speak.

"Really pink hair. That young woman should be given lessons on how to dress and take care of herself. She dresses like she just got from some third rate concert."

Nova giggled. She knew that mister Hawksworth and his sister missus Warden were terrified of missus Bucket even if they were friends.

"Well it seems that I am going to find out why they are here then soon."

"Say hi to your parents would you." Mister Bucket said.

"Will do." Nova replied.

When she stepped into her family her house she saw her father and mother talk to a tall black man wearing a suit and a young woman who looked like a punk rocking girl with a weird sisters t-shirt under a letter jacket.

Her parents looked to be distressed about something.

"Mum, dad. Why are the aurors here?" She asked.

"They are investigating activities of some workers of the department of missing families and children." Nova her eyes grew.

"You mean they have information on my birth family?"

The younger of the two aurors nodded.

"Don't worry about getting taken away kid. Your parents are presumed dead. Your uncle is on the run. Aunt Narcissa would only glare at you because of what your mother did to her and uncle Lucius and neither my parents or I are going to file for custody. You are way too happy here. Let us be the fun relatives ok." Nova her eyes grew when she understood what the woman had said.

"You are a cousin of my?" she stuttered out.

"Yes through your father. He and my mother were cousins. I am Tonks don't ask for my first name and we will get on as a house on fire."

"But Nymphadora is such an excellent name." Teased her partner which made Tonks seemingly had gotten angry because her hair started to turn red.

Nova her parents laughed while Nova opened her mouth to say something which was stopped by a glare from Tonks.

"Don't you dare Hestia Nova." This send Nova in to stitches.

"Of course Nymphadora." She replied with a grin.

"See Tonks even your cousin adores your first name." The other auror said before he turned serious.

"As Tonks said your uncle is on the run at the moment which gives us an opportunity to poke around a bit in the actions of some workers of the missing families and children department. Both you and your older sister were placed away without your birth family being told which is kind of strange. You and many other children of important families and clans were placed outside the wizarding world without any form of reason."

Besides him Tonks snorted at his words before mumbling something about a toad like woman.

"Tonks that woman isn't the source of every problem in the ministry" chided her partner.

"Even not one leaking faucet?" was Tonks her cheeky reply which set the entire room of in a round of laughter.

"You said her uncle was on the run." Mister Jones asked.

"Yes he was recently on the news." Tonks said.

"You mean?" Mrs. Jones said.

"Sirius Black, yes."

Nova her eyes grew at this revelation.

That evening after dinner Nova sat in the garden watching the sun go down.

She had more family and even a sister. She had laughed. She wanted to be there when they told Sofia Nebula her full name. She would bet her sister far more preferred her adoptive name. Tonks had explained that constellations, stars and other astronomical events and things were usually used in the Black family.

It was weird she had cousins who loved her and above all she was a pureblood. Tonks had explained that her mother had come from an influential Greek family and that her great aunt currently was the prime minister for Magical Greece. Tonks had said she would contact her in a few days setting up a meeting with her mother while deep in her thoughts she heard a soft woofing sound. Looking to where the sound came from she saw the young dog from earlier this day. It seemed to have followed her an have snuck into the garden.

"Hey boy. What are you doing here?" She whispered.

The dog just wagged its tail at her.

"Nova. It's time to come inside honey." She heard her mother call.

"Coming mum!" She called back.

Walking to the house she was followed by the dog.

"Nova is that a dog?" Her mother asked when she saw the dog.

"Yes I think it has followed me home this afternoon when I returned from the park." Nova said.

"I see it can stay tonight then. Your father can take him with him tomorrow."

That night Sirius slept on a cloth in the living room and in the morning he was led to the police station By George. Nova her adoptive father.

"Well that is an early catch George. What was the poor dog doing saying hello to the Bucket woman?" Said the greying desk sergeant.

George laughed at that before replying.

"No just a little stray that followed Nova home Jack."

"Ah and how is your lovely daughter?" Jack asked

"Happy to be home for the summer."

"Morning gentlemen." Sounded a new voice.

"Morning ma'am." The two men said to the newly arrived woman. Superintendent Fischer.

"Jones word was last evening that you had visitors from another police department?"

George smirked and replied.

"Heard it in the pub ma'am?" which made both other agents laugh.

"Indeed. I was in need of letting my hair down for a while."

"I see, And you are correct. Two officers were put on an investigation about missing children. There was a list found in the department for child welfare during an investigation which named a group of young children that had been kidnapped and placed up for adoption. Nova was on that list ma'am."

"I see quite the can of worms to be opened."

"Indeed they are just in the beginning stages. One of the officers on the investigation team is also a distant relation of Nova. At least it gave Nova a bit of closure about the questions she had about her parents. Both are presumed dead."

"Presumed?"

"Both disappeared. The search of her mother was blocked by the people that are being investigated. If this goes further there might be a couple of heads that are going to roll."

"I see. Keep me informed if something comes up."

"Will do."

"And take Fido here away please. Or is he here to be booked?" Both men laughed.

"Just a stray that followed Nova home." George said

"Okay gentlemen enough chitchat for now back to work."

That afternoon Sirius still found himself a guest of the police station. It wasn't too bad he actually was fed and had been taken for a walk. The officers of the dog unit seemed to be interested in him too.

When George showed up he was surprised he actually had been thinking about escaping. He barked excitedly at the man.

"Well hello there boy. And how are you this fine day? Better at the pound then living on the street I guess."

Sirius just waggled his tale at him.

"You are a bit of the talk of the station Rover. It seems no one is missing you or looking for you and because you don't have any identification we can't send you home. And I might think that you followed my daughter for a different reason." The man said while petting Sirius his head.

"So tomorrow we are going to check that out and because of that you are coming with me tonight." Sirius barked excitedly.

That evening Nova took Sirius for a walk. She had taken him to the park so that if people were looking for him he could be returned home.

As expected no one knew the dog and Nova and Sirius returned home.

The next morning a thing that Tonks hated in the early morning made its presence known. her bloody telephone. Extracting herself from the bed she walked toward where the infernal thing was hanging.

"Tonks residence. The residing grouch speaking."

"Morning cousin It." Sounded a cheerful teen her voice.

"Nova why are you calling this early?"

"Well I didn't know when your shift started." The girl on the other side of the phone admitted. "And we have a possible magical stray here because it keeps following me around."

"And you called to ask if I could come over and check said stray out."

"Yes."

"Okay see you in a while and I prefer my coffee black understood." Tonks said before saying goodbye .

A while later Tonks had driven her motorbike to Nova her house when she dismounted she could see an neighbouring woman her disapproving mouth falling open in replied se gave her a snobbish look.

"Lady you need a lot more practise." Tonks smirked at the woman in a haughty way which made the woman gasp. Tonks smirked when a memory of a conversation with her mother came to her.

Tonks family house. Young Tonks.

Tonks kept pouting she hated these etiquette and decorum lessons which her mother gave her. Why should she learn those stupid thing.

"Mum why do I have to know these things?" She whined.

"One day you will find them handy my dear." was her mother her reply.

"How do you know that?" The eight year old asked.

"Because I am your mother I know everything." Her mother said with a smile.

Present.

Tonks smirked while the woman watched her walk towards the door where Nova already was standing.

"Good morning cousin. How are you and your parents this fine morning?" Asked Tonks with just the faintest trace of an aristocratic drawl.

Looking over her cousin her shoulder Nova saw missus Bucket standing in her door opening and staring at her and Tonks with a look that almost was predator like. Playing along she replied.

"Good morning to you too cousin. Please come in. And they are fine by the way"

When the door closed behind both burst out into laughter.

Nova her mother's face appeared in the door opening from the kitchen.

"Please don't tell me that you two played Mrs. Bucket. That woman looked as hungry as a shark" Nova her mother said

"I am terribly sorry for that dear. It will probably happen again." Tonks replied between laughter.

"It will be great for your case study mum." Said an also laughing Nova.

"So where is this little stray of yours?" Tonks asked after she was done laughing.

As if called a dog its head appeared into the door opening leading to the living room.

Tonks grinned when she saw the dog.

"Well hello boyo. How did you came to be here?" She said while walking to the dog and petting his head.

Sirius wanted to curse. An auror and Andromeda her daughter too. Okay how to play this.

"It seems he has a bit of a Grim in him cousin. That's probably why he followed you home. Let's take him for a walk."

Sirius put his paws over his eyes.

"How about you have the walk right here? Nova her mum said seeing the dog it's reaction.

"Yes cousin it seemed that you forgot to register being an animagus." Tonks added while pulling her wand.

Sirius changed back to his human form.

Tonks smiled. "Nice teenage looks cousin. Now some people including me think that you are innocent and we like some answers.

"Peter was the secret keeper. I was angry when I went after him.

With a sigh he looked at Nova. I failed you Nova. Heck I failed everyone, Sofia your parents and Harry. I failed my wife and son. Your father came to me with information." Sirius sighted. "And he asked me to look after you, Sofia and your mum. And I am a failure of a man for that. When I saw your mother after the fire. He went quiet lost in memories..

"Fire?" Asked Nova her mum

"Everyone thought they died in an house fire. Dead eaters don't like loose ends.

"Regules. Nova her birth dad asked me to look after them. The night after the fire her mother disappeared. Some say she died of a broken heart. I know better."

"How?" Asked Nova

"Kreacher, Trinkie." With two pops. Two house elves appeared.

"Master finally got caught?" The male of the two asked while the female looked around when she saw Nova she started to cry.

"Master Sirius found one of the little misses."

Tonks laughed.

"Yeah I know Kreacher hates me and Trinkie misses her family. Umbridge had some charm placed on them so that they could not come for you or your mother and sister.

"Does little miss needs anything?"Tinkie asked.

"She is fine Trinkie." Sirius said.

"What are they?" Nova her mom asked.

"Mom you know the story about the elves and the shoemaker?." Nova said.

"Ah I see. So no making them clothes then." Her mother said in understanding

"Please do give no good master ideas." Kreacher said this earned him a slap to the head from Trinkie.

"Were good elves miss." The small female elf said while looking fearful.

"we could not find you as lady Kalypso asked us. The Toad woman made sure of that."

Tonks laughed. "Hell even elves despise her."

"Well we share that same feeling. She was one of the persons to block any investigation in your disappearance. Crouch too. Dumbledore started to do it after the war."

"And how do you know that? All that information is located in the ministry." Tonks exclaimed

"Well I will tell it when Nova wants to go clubbing." Sirius said with a smirk.

Nova her mother started to laugh. "You are the last of the great adventurers aren't you mister Black?"

"You bloody well walked into the ministry and retrieved their files? People are right about you. You are insane." Tonks added with a laugh.

"So what are you doing here?" Nova asked.

"I need a way into Hogwarts." The man said. "I got a date with a rat. Pretending to be a pet would be easier than going as a hot headed fool."

"No good master is using his head for thinking. The world is coming to an end." Kreacher mumbled.

Present.

Nova found her friend Damon sitting alone.

Rose and Lily went out the boy said at her questioning look.

"Not to avoid you?" The boy shook his head while Snuffles put his head on the boy his knee.

"They went to change. But Malfoy is boasting about my father being kissed by a dementor soon."

"About what I asked you?"

"Damon I love you like a brother."

"But you don't want to date me." The boy said.

"It's not that." the girl started to say.

Before she could end what she was saying the door was opened.

"Well hello Damon. How is your father doing? Kissed already" said a blond boy who was flanked by two other boys.

"Well hello cousin how are you mum and dad doing? Still on beauty and intelligence potions and charms?" Nova asked

Damon his mouth fell open.

Draco looked offended. "I Will be heir Malfoy" he said. And because of this boy his father his dishonourable action Lord Black."

"Cousin if Damon was to die either Sofia, me or Nymphadora are first line unlike you." The girl said.

"You aren't a Black." Draco gloated.

"I am Hestia Nova Black cousin. Daughter of Regulus and Kalypso Black."

Draco stepped back in fear.

The girl smirked and said. "By boys." When the three boys ran away two red haired girls returned.

"What happened we heard Malfoy talk shit to you Damon." Rose said beside her Lily nodded.
