Nattilie Black

I Must Save Them

Sirius, in his animeagus form, was walking in the woods. He didn't quite know were he was but he did know he was getting closer to Nattilie, he could feel it. He just followed his feelings and knew he could trust them; he had to for Nattilie and Harry.

As he walked he could feel himself pass through a protection ward. He knew he was close now, so he began to run. After a couple hundred feet he saw the wall that belonged to the Lestrange Manor. He hoped to Merlin that Nattilie was not in there.

He did not want to think of what Bellitrixcould do to her mind, what evil cruel notions she and her husband could have put in his precise Nattilie's head.

If anything was wrong with his wonderful child he would seek his revenge on her. As he found a way under the wall he didn't know what to think if the had corrupted his little baby.

With that he was on the other side of the wall and on his way to the house. Little did he know what horrors awaited him inside.

Inside the Lestrange Manor

"Beast get in here NOW!" Bellitrix screamed.

In walked a scared little girl with a new black eye and a swollen lip. She also seemed to be having a hard time breathing and a limp that was worse then ever before.

"Yes mistress?" little Nattilie asked shyly.

"Here is your list of chores I expect them done by night fall." Bellitrix said shrilly. With that she handed Nattilie the list and walked out the door to play with her own child.

Nattilie looked at the list and sighed, she had to mow the yard, clean the kitchen, play room, all twelve bathrooms, sweep the halls, make lunch and have it ready at noon sharp, weed and degnome the garden, clean all fifty-three fire places, have dinner ready at six o'clock sharp, and clean the three guest bedrooms.
She quickly went to work starting out side because it was still cool out.

Sirius sat behind one of the very large bushes that surrounded the garden. Then he saw a young girl walk out of the house. She was limping terribly. As she got closer he could see many burses, wilts, and cuts. The closer she got the more he could make out her facial fetchers.

She had long black hair that was pulled back into a pony-tail. She had one electric blue eye and one bluish grey. All of a sudden Sirius recognized her as his little Nattilie.

She had her mother's looks and the same electric blue eye as her mother. But she had his hair and the same bluish grey eye color he had. His heart broke when he could clearly see the bruises. They looked like hands and feet. The cuts to looked like they were from knives and whips.

She had bags under her eyes that were dull and almost lifeless. He knew he had to act fast. He came up with a plan when he realized she was alone.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….

As Nattilie walked out of the house she could feel some one watching her but they didn't feel dangerous at all they felt kind and trust worthy.

'Maybe they're here to rescue me. Maybe its daddy' she thought as she walked to the garden. As she entered she went to work.

She decided to start with degnoming the garden so they didn't attack her wile she was weeding the garden.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….

Sirius' heart broke even more when Nattilie started degnoming the garden.

'She shouldn't be treated like a house elf' he thought. Slowly he came out of the bush, still in dog form and slowly walked over to her.

He didn't want to scare her and he saw this to be the best solution. She jumped a little when he nudged her hand with his nose. She turned around and stared at him.

"Daddy" she mouthed.

His spirit soared and his heart mended a bit. She remembered him! But how?

"Will you turn back?" she asked. He gave a goofy dog grin and turned into his human self.

"Hi sweetie how have you been?" he asked warily as if he was afraid he would scare her off.

"Ok you?" she asked politely. 'Too politely' Sirius thought.

"Ok I've missed you a great deal." He said softly kneeling down to her level.

"Me to." She said shyly

"how did you know I was your dad?"Sirius asked her.

"I remember you from along time ago when I was happy and mommy was alive" Nattilie said sniffing.

"How about I take you away from here. Do you need to get anything from your room?"Sirius asked cautiously. She looked at him with a smile on her face, which changed into a thoughtful look.

"No I have all I need in the corner over there" she said pointing to the far corner. It was then that he realized there was a box there half hidden in the bush.

"I don't know how I just somehow knew you were coming to get me so I packed all my things last night and brought them out here. I hope you don't mind." She said timidly.

"Not at all sweetie, not at all." Sirius said smiling. He stood up and grabbed Nattilie's hand and walked over to the box. Upon opening the box the first thing he saw was his wand right on top.

"They gave it to mistress Bellitrix to see if it would fit me. She kept it in one of the cupboards and I stole it last night as well. I hope you don't mind." Nattilie said timidly.

"It was a very brave thing to do Nattilie and I appreciate it a lot" he said smiling down at his very special daughter. He waved his wand and shrunk her things and put them in his pocket.

"Do you mind if we go get another person?" he asked her.

"Not at all" she said. When Sirius picked her up she flinched a bit but relaxed quickly. He placed her on his hip.

"Do you remember apparating?" he asked remembering when he first apparated with her. She loved it then so he hoped she would like it now.

"Yes of course it was fun" she said "where are we going?"

"Little Whinging, Surrey. Where Harry is, do you remember him?" he asked

"Of course, he was really fun to play with." She said smiling remembering old times. With that Sirius apparated away to Privet Drive to get Harry.
