Disclaimer: I don't own anyone in here except for Sierra, and in seven days I will also own a copy of the new book! Yay!
The party for Ron and Hermione later that week ended very interestingly. Mrs Weasley had left the kitchen, saying that she was tired, and was going to remove the Boggart in the Drawing Room before she turned in. Moody scanned the group partying until both his eyes rested on Harry's face
"Come here," he said to Harry "I've got something that might interest you." He pulled a very tattered old wizarding photograph from an inner pocket of his robes.
"Original Order of the Phoenix." He growled, "Found it last night when I was looking for my spare Invisibility Cloak, seeing a Podmore hasn't had the manners to return my best one… thought you might like to see it."
Harry took the photograph, looking at the small cluster of people on it.
"There's me." Moody said, pointing at a slightly less grey haired version of himself "And there's Dumbledore, Dedalus Diggle, Marlene McKinnon, Frank and Alice Longbottom, Lupin obviously… Benjy Fenwick… shift aside there." He poked the picture and the people shuffled along so that those hidden before could move to the front.
"That's Edgar Bones… brother of Amelia Bones, great wizard he was… Sturgis Podmore, blimely he looks young, Hagrid, looks same as ever, Sirius when he had short hair… these might interest you!"
The figures of Harry's mother and father beamed up at him, they stood either side of the small, watery-eyed traitor that was Wormtail.
"What's that you've got there Mad-Eye?" Sirius asked, walking over and taking the photograph "This the Original Order?" he asked
"Yeah, the lot of us who were able to be there." Moody growled, watching Sirius as his eyes scanned the photo
"Lets see. You Dumbledore, Dorcas, Lupin, Wormtail, Lily, James, me obviously…" he paused and his eyes locked onto a smiling young woman standing beside the tiny photographic version of himself, she had a twinkle in her eyes that showed good humour and pulled a camera up into view, laughing soundlessly.
Moody's hand went into his robes again as Sirius stared vacantly and pulled out his wand. Sirius and Harry looked at him in alarm, none of the others had noticed though and continued to laugh and joke
"What is it?" Sirius asked, watching Mad-Eye carefully
"Someone's coming down into the kitchen." Moody growled, his electric blue eye spinning up and then back to the door "Molly's still up with the Boggart, think we've got an intruder." He raised his wand, aiming for the doorway.
As soon as the door creaked open, Moody shot a warning blast at the tattered-robe figure, hitting the wall directly beside her and knocking a fist sized hole into it, the party-goers went deathly silent and stared at this, the elder of them pulling out wands in swift, fluid movements and pointing them at the figure
"Bloody hell Mad-Eye!" the newcomer yelped I only just got here and you're already trying to kill me." Her eyes quickly scanned the silent room and she took a small step back "And the rest of you are trying to as well! Bloody typical!" there was silence for another moment before Sirius, who had gone deathly pale, strode across the room and pulled the woman into a hug
"Oh yeah!" she said, slightly muffled in Sirius' robes as she hugged him back "No use trying to redeem yourself Si, it aint gonna work." She pulled away from him and studied his face carefully "For goodness sakes man, you look as though you've seen a ghost, have I got something on my face?"
"We thought you were dead." Lupin said quietly, coming over and embracing the woman
"I wouldn't do something like that Moony!" she snorted, "I plan to take Si down with me, you know that. Although I do hear someone's still being a very bad person, as always." She pulled out an old newspaper clipping from her robes and handed it to Sirius "Can't keep out of trouble, can you? Wait until I tell our dear old Mum!" she said with a grin
Sirius looked at the paper for a moment before throwing an arm once again around the woman's shoulders
"You tell her and I'll let Mad-Eye kill you for being an impostor, you can get into as much trouble as I can." The two laughed and then the woman looked at the others in the room
"Is this who I think it is?" she asked, looking at Harry, who saw that her face was pale and thin, but her sunken eyes glinted with happiness "Harry Potter? Last I saw you, you were just a tiny little thing. You probably hear this all the time, but you look just like James, except for your eyes." Harry nodded and the woman took his hand
"I'm Sierra, in case you're wondering." She said "Sirius' dear old twin, rotten luck I had there." Like an excited puppy she spun around again, putting one hand to her chin as she did a name check.
"Kingsley, Mundungus you old fart, still being an annoying little illegal man I expect, Arthur look well, Bill… where's Molly and Charlie?" Sierra asked
"Molly's upstairs, Charlie's in Romania, working with Dragons." Arthur replied, Sierra nodded
"He always did love them." She said before rounding on the other Weasley children with a grin "I daresay you're Fred and George, and you'd be Ron then. I don't believe I've met you though." She said to Ginny and went into deep thought, rocking back and forth on her heels
"This is my daughter Ginny." Mr Weasley said
"Nice to meet you Ginny, you look just like Molly, probably just as terrible." Ginny giggled as Sierra spun around to face Hermione, almost falling over as she did so "I don't know you either." she said eventually
"Hermione Granger." Hermione introduced herself "I'm a friend of Ron's and Harry's"
"Hermione. That's interesting." Sierra said slowly, her eyes shooting over the girls face before smiling and turning to the last person in the room
"Nymphado-" she started before Tonks stepped forwards and poked her in the chest
"Don't you dare go any further!" she shrieked, Sierra laughed and threw an arm around the Metamorphmagus' shoulder
"Yes Miss!" she laughed "Sorry Miss! Good to see you Tonks!" she pulled her arm from Tonk's shoulder and sped around to face Sirius again, who was standing in the doorway
"Shift it Si." She barked "I'm going to see Molly!" she jumped at her brother and flew past him, pounding up the stairs but slowing once she reached the hall so she wouldn't disturb any of the pictures.

When Sierra came back down into the kitchen, she was dragging Molly behind her and grinning happily.
"Sirius." Sierra whined, "I wants a drink!" Sirius rolled his eyes at his sister's childish behaviour but pointed to the Butter beers on the table, Sierra gave a whoop, grabbed up a drink, leapt onto one of the counters and popped the cap from her bottle so quickly she left some of the others gawping
"So then sierra," Sirius said casually, used to his sister's unusual behaviour and ignoring it "Care to share the story of where you've been for last fifteen years?" Sierra looked at him sadly
"That I will brother," she said in a deeply serious voice, her eyes already filling with hate for what she was about to say "Let's say we have bad blood in our family, not that we don't already know that." She gave a sour bark of laughter and scowled "That bilge rat of a younger brother told Voldemort where I was, I found out just before the Death Eaters ransacked my home. I wanted to warn you of his betrayal to us so I disappeared, but got hit as I was doing so and ended up in Canada, completely lost and no idea what the hell to do. Spent my time with a lovely pack all this time."Then I heard that our 'dear friend' Voldemort had 'died', not that I believe he's gone. So I started my way back here, only a couple of days ago, news gets to you slowly when you're stuck in the Ontario Algonquin National Park and trying not to attract to much attention to yourself, but I couldn't find this lovely house of ours." She grinned at her brother "So I went to your old house, to find you'd not been there, obviously if you'd been in that prison and on the run from the law, and than I went to Hogwarts. I think scared the life out of Minerva and Albus, didn't believe I was alive, can't imagine why…
"Anyway, they eventually told me how to get here and… here I be!" she shrugged and gave another laugh "There wouldn't be chance of food would there? I've been stuck on raw meat for ages unless I was able to get some from some people, you wouldn't believe how hard that was…" she grinned as a plate piled with food was passed to her and quickly attacked a sandwich
"Regulus is dead Sierra." Lupin said "Voldemort killed him."
"Good riddance to bad rubbish." Sierra literally growled, grabbing a chicken leg and tearing into it. She polished off the food in silence, listening to the others tell her what had happened since she'd disappeared and finally stifled a yawn and leapt off the counter
"Is there a chance of a room? Or am I sleeping on the floor?" Sirius grinned at her
"Well –" he started, earning a punch on the arm from his sister
"Sirius! I'm beginning to regret-" she stopped speaking and stiffened as the mumbling Kreacher entered the room
"-Coming into my Mistress house, throwing away all her possessions, having parties, plotting against the Dark Lord, traitors, scum…"
"Hello Kreacher." Sierra growled at him. The House Elf froze and looked nervously up at the woman before fleeing the kitchen, moving faster than any had ever seen him move.
"Nice to know he still loves me." She whispered, glaring after the House Elf "You really get rid of him Sirius."
"I'd love to, but he knows too much about the Order." Sirius sighed "Your bedroom is still free, just watch out for anything mother may have put in there, haven't had chance to clear it up yet." Sierra laughed and sped from the room, tattered robes billowing around her.
To My Reviewers:
DarkAngelPearl: Regulus is EVIL! And nope, Sirius and his sister lost contact when she zapped herself halfway across the globe and got stuck there. I believe you were right about who was in the first chapter :P!
Jinxeh: Wow, that's pretty scary, but funny! That fic was awesome, I really liked it, bring it back up again soon! Sam was cool! Jack Sparrow? I'd do anything for him! I don't like the fifth book as much as I do the others, like the third, because of what happens to Sirius (which is a pretty rubbish way to kill him off, I'm sorry to say) Yay! Everything is wicked!
Windvuur: Yay! You think I'm talented? Awesomeness! Glad you like it!
Blairwitch: You don't need me to update it on here, all you have to do is steal that little thing I cart around in school all day and finds it, I've only got… thirteen stories in the folder at the moment, it shouldn't be that hard to find! Lol!
