Chapter 5: Welcome to Risa, Black
It's been a year since Storm left Earth and came to Risa. Storm had a very good grasp on what he could do with his element. He was at first grade level (third if you lived on Earth) of school. His best friends were his cousin Layla and his friend through their parents Apollo. He was a very happy six years old. Who had plenty of love through his aunts and uncles, Lunesta and his grandparents not to mention friends.
Storm was at the top of his class in both academics and martial arts. Halfway threw his transformation (a/n animagus). Storm was a very happy child even though he did miss his godfather a lot. So, it was on July 30th when Storm was over at his grandparent's house for a sleepover with Layla and Apollo that Lunesta left the house and went to Earth.
Lunesta reappeared in a living room that was very dark. A bit to dark for Lunesta taste, Lunesta whispered a few words and beam of light went flying out of her hand and floated above her head making her look more like angel. She walked up the stairs that were to right up to the second level. She then made a right and came upon a door. Lunesta knocked on the door. "Whose their," a voice sounded. One that sounded like it had been crying when Lunesta got to the Black Manor.
"Someone with a request," Lunesta answered smoothly. I hope this works, Lunesta thought.
"What's the request?" Sirius asked.
"Let me in and I'll tell you," Lunesta said firmly.
"All right come in." Lunesta opened the door to see a man with hair to his shoulders. Lunesta had to admit he looked pretty dashing if he would just smile. "So what do you want?" Sirius asked.
"To offer you pretty much the same thing I offered Harry," Lunesta said simply.
Sirius bolted up and looked at Lunesta threw cool grey eyes, " How do you know about Harry. You look familiar. Have we met?"
"No not really. I was the person who picked up Harry Potter and left the message saying don't try to track him. Also to believe in the Boy-Who-Lived and not the Girl-Who-Lived," Lunesta said in a calm voice.
"That's right. You were the one who took Harry away from me," Sirius said with venom in his voice.
"I know and he has been very happy for the last year and I have been asked to bring you to Harry," Lunesta looked at Sirius. Sirius face quickly went from nasty look to one of pure joy so fast that Lunesta had to blink a few times.
"You mean be with Harry. Where ever he is and leave here?"
"Yes. Do you except this offer?"
"Can we go now?" Sirius wined, Lunesta laughed the irony of it all was almost too much. "What are you laughing at?"
"That is exactly what Harry said when I asked him if he excepted the offer. That's all."
"Well, can we go know," Sirius moaned.
Lunesta shook her head and said, "Sure, grab my hand and hold on tight." Once Sirius grabbed her hand Lunesta took off they rematerlized in front of the Royal Family. For some odd reason when Sirius let go of Lunesta hand, it seemed to have the effect of burning but there was something different about it.
"Mr. Sirius Orion Black Welcome to Risa. My name is King Helios," King Helios said with a smile.
"I'm Queen Luna," Queen Luna stated.
"I'm Prince Star," Prince Star stated.
"I'm Princess Comet," Princess Comet smiled at Sirius.
"Sirius if you want to live here you most obey the rules," Queen Luna said sharply. Sirius made a quick yes with the head movement. He reminded Lunesta of a dog, duh he is a dog that's his main form, Lunesta thought.
"Then come closer, please," Prince Star replied. Sirius moved closer to the Royal Family.
"No close your eyes and leave them closed until I say so," Princess Comet said in a sweet voice. For once in Lunesta life, she wanted to hurt the princess for talking in that tone of voice. What's happing to me? This has never happened before," she thought and mentally shook her head. The Royal Family said a few spells and a mist covered over Sirius in a few seconds the cloud lifted.
"You're element is double you have the power of darkness and shadow as well as eternal time. Quite a good combination when you think of it. But also very dangerous," King Helios said.
"Names how about Chronos or Erebus you are allowed to say no," Queen Luna replied once she saw Sirius face.
"All right then no," Sirius replied politely
"How about something simple like, Procyon or Castor. Nothing special about them accept that their stars," Princess Comet suggested.
"No, can I just keep my name. It will be easier for me and you," Sirius replied. The entire family closed their eyes for a few minutes even though it felt like hours.
The family opened their eyes smiled and King Helios said, "Yes. But you only keep your first name because we do not believe in last or middle names."
"All right," Sirius said with a smile.
"Lunesta, may he stay at your house since Storm is out on a sleepover and you can fill Sirius in," Queen Luna asked.
"Of course. Come on. Sirius," Lunesta and Sirius went outside the palace.
"Are you married?" Sirius asked when the two of them were half way to Lunesta house.
"Nope, I'm single even though this creep I know keeps asking me to marry him and I keep telling him no. You?"
"No, other wise you would have had a bit more harder time on convincing me to come here," Sirius smiled at Lunesta that made her cheeks heat up, thank god its dark, Lunesta thought. "So who is Storm exactly then if you don't have a husband?"
"Harry. When he came here we changed his name to Storm, he lives with me. His parents were pretty stupid to let him go," Lunesta said.
"Well it's changed a lot this past year. When we told Storm's dad he didn't care. Lily stopped spoiling Vanessa or at least tried. James kept going behind her back and getting whatever toy it was. So about two months ago Lily divorced James. She has been living as a muggle as far as I know. Only Dumbledore knows where she is and he won't tell. James still spoils the little brat," Sirius took a deep breath.
"Well Storm will be glad that at least his mother learned the lesson," Lunesta stated as he opened the door to her house.
"Yeah, she as well as myself believes in the Boy-Who-Lived. It did make more sense and the cut on Vanessa's hand was most likely done from the ceiling or something not from Voldemort," Sirius put on a bemused face. Lunesta had to admit he was pretty cute.
"Want something to drink," she asked as she walked into the kitchen.
"Sure what do you have to drink," he called out from the living room where he was looking at all the stuff Storm has made, and awards he won.
"We have tea but not the type your use to. A special type of coffee that taste a whole lot better then your version. Water, that is very healthy for you. Want to keep me going on," Lunesta called out from over her shoulder.
"Sure, you have a lovely voice," Sirius said he quickly put his hand over his mouth and Lunesta couldn't help but laugh at the look on his face. Pretty soon Sirius was laughing right along, "Sure I'll try the tea." A few seconds later the tea was done and Lunesta poured out two glasses. "What are all these awards?" Sirius asked as Lunesta brought him his tea.
"Well the one on the far right with the storm cloud on it. He got that one at the end of the year for winning the spelling bee. The one next to it with man doing karate is for winning a competition he was in for the beginners. He was really good to. Next, his academic award for getting what you would call Os in all his classes. This one with bow and arrow he got for completing level one of archery in record timing. He is a really talent boy. He finished the entire Lord of the Rings series in a month. I didn't finish it that fast. Yet, he passed all the tests that say he read the books. I have no clue how his biological parents gave him up for that stupid girl. Just not logical."
"Well Lily noticed on how special he really was after he left but his father didn't care squat just shrugged his shoulders and pretty much said more things for Vanessa. I can't believe I was ever his best friend. Practically a brother but that James is gone and probably not coming back. He also became Lily's worst nightmare because he was doing exactly what she feared he would. He stopped caring about her in a way. He wasn't there for her when Storm left. He didn't even care. He kept going behind her back to get Vanessa something she doesn't even need. No wonder Vanessa is such a bitch. Pardon my language but I hardly doubt she will have any friends, let alone a boyfriend who can stand her. I just can't see it happening," Sirius shook his head.
"You once really did care for Storm's father didn't you," Lunesta asked as she sipped some of her drink both of them somehow got on the porch and were rocking on the hanging bench Lunesta owned.
"I did until that Halloween. Then it just went down hill. He started to pay more attention to Vanessa then to Storm. I never really did believe that Vanessa defeated Voldemort. She just didn't fit the prophecy," Sirius turned to Lunesta looked at her with his cool grey eyes.
"You're right she doesn't. There are actually two prophecies that contain Storm in them," Lunesta started to tell him about the second prophesy.
At the end of it Sirius sighed, "Wow. That's amazing. Do you know who the others are?"
Lunesta nodded, "You know the parents of two them. The other one is what you would call a muggle-born. So, you don't know her parents. But we know where they are. What they want and what they feel at every second of everyday. So they'll be safe don't worry. We won't let anything happen to them."
"You sound like stalkers when you say it like that," Sirius said as he took another gulp of tea.
"In a way we are, but it is only to make sure that the others are cared for and nothing truly bad happens to them. We don't even know what will happen to them until their here and even then were not sure. We just want them safe," Lunesta said. She finished her drink and the two went back inside.
"Are you having a party here tomorrow for Storm?"
"Yes, even though it's not here it will be in the Aragorn Forest. Trust me its going to be a big event. Probably as big as Bilbo's 111th birthday party," Lunesta stated.
"Whose birthday?"
"Never read Lord of the Rings have you," Lunesta remarked.
"Nope. Don't read," Sirius said proudly.
Lunesta turned to him and said silkily, "You will here. Its late we better get to bed. You can have either Storm's bed or the couch."
"I'll have the couch," Lunesta nodded and threw Sirius a blanket and a few pillows. "Good night Sirius. I'll wake you up when we need to get ready for the party." With that, Lunesta left Sirius walked into the room. When Lunesta went to bed, she couldn't get Sirius face out of her mind.
A/N you can probably see where this going. Next chapter party scene, after that I'll be doing some jumps up to more important stuff in the story. Just let everyone know Lunesta and Sirius are the same age. Please Review.
