Sirius stared at his small family. It was nice to be free. Harry had captured Pettigrew before he had gotten away. Sirius was now sat in a huge house in the country by Hogwarts. The Weasley's were around as was Remus, Andromeda, Nymphadora (Andromeda's daughter), Ted (Andromeda's husband), Harry (as he lived with Sirius and Remus now) and Hermione.

As Sirius watched Hermione he couldn't help but realise that she acted a lot like Marline. Tears prickled the back of his eyes as he thought of his dead wife and the daughter he never knew. He coughed and sniffed slightly as he watched her. "Are you OK Sirius?" Remus asked. Sirius looked at Remus and broke down completely. Everyone stopped what they were doing to stare at the man in front of them.

"I want them back Moony. I want them back," Sirius cried and then howled loudly.

"Who Sirius?" Remus asked.

"Marline and my baby girl!" Sirius cried.

"I know you do Sirius. But Marline died and Hala was given to a Muggle family who changed her name so you could never find her." Remus said as he hugged his friends.

Just then three things happened. One Sirius pushed Remus away and screamed. Two Hermione fell to her knees and three a letter flew through the window and landed by Hermione.

Hermione tore open the letter and burst into tears. Now no-one new what to do. Weather they should comfort Sirius or Hermione. Ron and Harry disided to comfort Hermione while Remus and Tonks comforted Sirius. "What's wrong Hermione?" Ron asked.

"Read it," she cried as she thrust the letter into Harry's hand.

Dear Hermione,

But now I have conseaved and in a week we shall have a child of our own. You are no longer welcome here but you may come to collect your things.

Harry gasped and looked at Hermione. Then something clicked. "Hermione your name is really Hala Black!" Harry yelled and everyone looked at him and Sirius stopped crying.

"Hala," he whispered and then he fainted.
