Special thanks to my reviwers:

Mae-E: My first reviewer! Thank you so much. The Marauders and Lily don't know about Ami's old friends for certain reasons, but at Ami and Sirius' wedding, they will be there.

Nice Huntress: Thank you very much for your review and the suggestion! I'm still trying to work out how to explain everybody so it's in the works. But if you have a suggestion of any sort that would be much appreciated.

Airlady: Thank you for your review! Ami's death will be revealed in a very later chapter.

Chapter 2

Talks in the Snow

The crisp white snow crunched soundly as Sirius walked on the school grounds that morning. It was the start of Christmas break so Hogwarts was pretty silent now. Remus and Peter had left to see their families. And James stayed back with him. When Sirius left their dorm, James was still snoring away. He was glad for James' company, but liked to have the morning alone for some reason.

Sirius didn't like to think about the future. He liked the prospect of just winging it, but now he practically lived at James' house. What was going to happen to him then? He couldn't just live at James' house forever. He needed to get a place of his own.

"It's the only way," he thought to himself as he looked toward the lake. He stopped in his tracks when he noticed someone ice skating on the frozen body of water. It was Ami Mizuno. She was gracefully skating around, lost in her own thoughts. Her Gryffindor scarf rippled rapidly behind her. Sirius found himself staring, mesmerized. Ami looked as if she was in the element. Like she was part of the water and ice.

Ami finally stopped and turned around from her skate and noticed Sirius Black staring right at her. She gasped and started to skate farther away from him. Her cheeks burned. She didn't even notice he was there.

Sirius became aware of Ami skating away from him. He stepped on the ice unsteadily.

"W-Wait! Um, Mizuno! It's me Sirius!" he exclaimed as he slipped on the ice unbalanced. Before he knew it, Sirius fell flat on his back rather painfully. He groaned. He heard the sounds of blades hitting the ice. A shadow appeared next to him.

"Are you all right, Sirius?" Ami asked.

"Never felt better, Mizuno. I do this all the time," Sirius joked. She helped him up.

"Do you hurt anywhere specific?" she questioned him. Sirius rubbed the back of his head.

"Nah, I'm okay,"

Ami took his hand and helped him skate over to the land. She transfigured her skates back into shoes.

"You called my name. Did you need something?"

Sirius shook his head.

"I just saw you skating. I thought you were really good,"

"Thank you,"

They stayed in awkward silence for a moment. Neither knew what to say to the other.

"Is there a specific reason why you're out here this morning?" Ami started. Sirius shrugged indifferently.

"Do I need a reason?" he defended. Ami laughed a little at his sudden attitude change.

"I guess not. It's nice this morning, isn't it?"

"Yeah, I guess it is,"

"Do you feel a bit homesick? You're not visiting your family for Christmas," Ami observed gently. At the mention of his family, Sirius could feel his blood boiling. Merlin, he hated them.

"I could never feel homesick, Mizuno. I don't have one. My family means nothing to me. They hate me and I hate them. Simple,"

"I see. I'm sorry,"

Sirius barked out a cold laugh.

"There's nothing to be sorry about. What about you? Why aren't you planning to spend the holidays with your family?"

A sad smile crept up on the girl's lips.

"I wish I could, but my parents are dead," she replied softly. Sirius' eyes reflected his shock. He hadn't meant to bring up a painful memory.

"My father died when I was young," Ami told him, "So I don't remember him much. But my mother died recently. She got hit by a muggle drunk driver while crossing the street to her work. I transferred here because Japan holds too many sad memories right now. I don't have anybody but me right now. But I truly hope to come back to Japan with a smile," (A/N at end of story)

When Sirius didn't say anything, she took it for boredom.

"I'm sorry, Sirius, I didn't mean to bore you," Ami said sincerely. Sirius placed a hand on her shoulder and gripped it.

"No, Mizuno, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have spoken so rashly,"

"It's okay, Sirius. But please you can just call Ami,"

"All right, then, Ami," he grinned at her. He let go of her shoulder and offered his arm. "Why don't I escort you to breakfast?"

Ami blushed but took up on his offer.

"I'd be honored," she smiled as the two walked into the big castle together.

(Present time)

Sirius slammed the door as he staggered into his house.

"Door needs to be fixed," he slurred, "It's broken,"

He felt someone's arm around him to steady his body.

"Remmy old pal! Did you come to visit me? Sorry if the house is a bit of a mess," Sirius laughed a little.

"Sirius, you've done a lot of stupid things in your life, but this has got to be the stupidest,"

"Don't scold me, Moony! I'm an adult now! Don't treat me like a child!"

Sirius tried to break free from Remus' grip, but he wasn't very strong in his drunk stupor.

"Dad, you've got to stop this. You're making yourself sick," Sunny said gently. Sirius turned to her and stared confusedly.

"Who are you?" he asked. Sunny sighed.

"I'm your daughter," she replied. He stopped walking to examine her.

"By Gryffindor, who'd I marry!"

"Ami Mizuno,"

"Really? Ami Mizuno. That pretty blue haired girl, right Moony?"

"Yes, Sirius,"

Sirius grinned.

"I can't believe that! I'll let you in on a little secret, but I've always had a crush on Ami. She's so nice to me. And I'm a loser! That's right a giant prat of a loser!" Sirius laughed, "What's your name, o daughter of mine?"

"Sunny,"

"My little Sunshine! You've grown so beautifully! How old are you now?"

"Fifteen," the annoyance in her voice was evident.

"Fifteen! My little Sunshine is fifteen! Where have I been all these years!" Sirius cried.

"Look, Dad, you need to stop blubbering and get on the couch. We don't want you to-,"

"BLECH!"

Sunny sighed again as she looked at her shoulder in distaste.

"Go get washed, Sunny. I'll get your dad taken care of," Remus told her, "I'll take care of your shirt once Sirius is settled,"

Sunny nodded wearily as she let go of Sirius to go upstairs. This was going too far.

End of Chapter 2. Okay, I hope you enjoyed the chapter. Please review. Thanks!

A/N: Ami's explanation is half true-half false. Since she came from a different time, she has to come up with a believable story. But it is true that her mother is dead. If you think that the way her mother died is similar to Tohru Honda's mother's death from Furuba (Fruits Basket), I didn't intend for it to be like that but it just seems similar to me.
