"Harry!" Hermione shouted.

"Coming, 'Mione!" Harry shouted down the stairs to the Common Room. Harry kissed me quickly before dashing down the stairs, holding my hand and pulling me with him.

"What in God's name is wrong with you, 'Moine? It's nearly midnight!" I groaned.

Hermione smirked, "Well, Amalie, maybe you should be in the girls dorms, not in the boys dorm."

I rolled my eyes and crossed my arms, "When you get a boyfriend, you'll understand, Hermy. You can't stand to stay away."

Harry chuckled, "What do you need?"

"Dumbledore wants to see us."

I sighed, "At this hour! I am going to bed, goodnight." I kissed Harry on the cheek and spun around. I only made it one step before Hermione grabbed my arm and dragged me toward the portrait. I groaned and pulled out of her grip, walking next to Harry down the corridor.

"Lemon Drop," Hermione said. The gargoyle sprang out of the way and the stairs formed. Harry led the way, followed by me, then Hermione.

I knocked. "Come in!" Dumbledore called.

I opened the door and Harry went in first.

"What is so important at this hour of night, Professor?" I asked, yawning.

"Right, sorry for the hour, but this is important. Please, take a seat."

"Oh, your getting married, Professor?" His eyes twinkled at my comment.

"No, Miss Herring. I am not getting married."

I frowned then smiled. "Your pregnant!"

Hermione rolled her eyes. Harry chuckled.

"Quite impossible, but I do have news. Harry, Sirius's will has been found, and you have been left something."

I felt Harry tense. Sirius was not something we talked about. That was forbidden territory.

"Sir, Sirius had a will?" Hermione asked.

Dumbledore smiled, "Quite so. He left each of you something."

I choked on my own air. "He left ME something?" He knew about me, about who I was to him?

Dumbledore chuckled, "Why wouldn't he? You all were like his children. Harry WAS technically his child, but that doesn't matter. You were all left something and the will hearing will be this summer."

The summer after fifth year. Sirius had only died a week ago.

I looked at Harry, feeling his sadness.

"When, sir?" I asked softly.

"The day after term ends. So, fifteen days."

I nodded, "Can we go now, Professor, or is there something else?"

"No, no, that is it." I could have sworn Dumbledore glared at my hand in Harry's. "You can go to bed now."

I nodded, "Night, Professor."

"Night, Professor," Hermione said.

Harry and I shuffled out and when we got to the hall, I turned to Harry.

"You okay, baby?" I asked softly. He nodded and took a small breath.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Why wouldn't I be?"

I smiled a little, "You can cry, you know. I don't think I've ever seen you cry, except for what happened with Cedric. Harry, you know I cry all the time. It's normal."

I wrapped my arm around his waist and leaned into his chest. "Guys don't cry, Amy."

I rolled my eyes, "They do too."

"I don't cry."

I giggled, "Sure you don't. Did you cry when you saw your parents in the mirror?"

He shook his head.

"Did you cry when Quarrell touched you?"

He shook his head.

"What about when the basilisk bit you? Or Ginny was in the Chamber? Or Hermione was petrified?"

He shook his head.

"What about when Sir- Never mind." I said softly, catching myself.

There was an awkward moment of silence.

I looked up at Harry to see a tear. I reached up and wiped it off. "You sure your okay?"

He smiled a little and wiped away my tear that fell when I thought about how proud Sirius would be of him. I blushed and looked away.

"I do not cry," Harry whispered to me.

I smiled up at him, "I know you don't, but that doesn't meant that I don't catch you."

He kissed the top of my head and I put my head on his shoulder.

"What about when Cedric died?" I asked him.

He chuckled, "Okay, that was different. I was bleeding and I watched him die."

I laughed, "Right. And that is different how? You still had tears, Harry." I paused. "My God! Harry can actually feel sad!"

He rolled his eyes. "You are wierd."

I smiled, "That's why you love me. Okay, so what about the time when you had those weird dreams? You sort of cried then."

Harry chuckled. "No, I didn't. I was sweating."

I giggled, "Were they really dreams about you-know-who or were they dreams of naked women."

Harry laughed a heartfelt laughed, "You got me. How did you know?"

I shrugged, "I just know you too well. Tell me, who were the girls?"

Harry rolled his eyes, "It was only one girl."

I nodded, "Who?"

"Well, if I said you would that be weird?" Harry asked, a little uncomfortable.

I giggled, "No, no. That's cool. At least I don't have to worry about any competition."

He pulled me to him and walked up to the portrait, saying the password. The Common Room door opened and I saw Hermione already up the stairs. I turned to Harry.

"Look, you can cry around me. I cry around you all the time. And, I love you, Harry," I whispered.

He smiled, "I love you too, Amy."

I kissed him before I went up to my room. I quickly changed into my pajamas and fell asleep.

The next fifteen days were. . . slow. Harry, Hermione, Ron, Ginny, and I stayed behind from the train, so we were going to have to fly home. Completely fine by me, just so you know.

"Ah, I see you are all here. Please, come in," Dumbledore said when we knocked on the door. Harry opened it and I saw Tonks, Lupin, and all the Weasley's. Even Kreature was there. We sat in the empty seats and Dumbledore cleared his throat.

"Let's get this started, shall we?"

We all nodded and Dumbledore adjusted his glasses.

"In the even of me, Sirius Orion Black, dying, I leave the following people the following things.

"To Nymphadora Tonks, I leave half of my mother's jewelery."

Tonks looked like she was going to cry.

Dumbledore continued, "To Remus Lupin, I leave Hesper Manor, the house that my mum owned in Devon. I think you know where I'm talking about. We held your furry little problems there over the summer."

Lupin laughed, "Nicely put."

"To the Weasley's, I leave Runnington Manor, in the South side of London. There is plenty of room for everyone."

Molly smiled a little.

"To Hermione Jean Granger," Hermione straightened up. "I leave you my library, and the hidden room underneath your bedroom's contents."

Hermione gasped, "There's a hidden room?"

"And I know you are probably thinking, 'There's a hidden room?'" We all chuckled. "Yes, you pull open the floorboards in the closet and there is a stair case. You can go down them and you will be at a manor, that manor, Snowy Manor, is all yours."

"To Andromeda Tonks, I leave the other half of my mothers jewelery. To Bellatrix Lestrange, you get my mother's old clothes, because they look awful on you."

I bust out laughing, "Only he would do that."

Dumbledore had a twinkle in his eyes, "To Narcissa Malfoy, I leave you the Luping Manor, near the Welsh shore."

"To Amalie Herring," I blinked, not believing it. "I leave you 12 Grimmauld Place."

"What!" I whispered.

"As well as half the Black Fortune. You also recieve half of the Black family properties. Kreature is in your care, as well."

I couldn't talk. "What!" I managed to squeak out.

"To Harry James Potter, I leave you the other half of the Black fortune, Any other properties the Black Family owned that was left to me, that weren't given out, including H-" Dumbledore stopped, eyes growing wide. "That's impossible!"

"Albus, what?" Molly asked.

"He owns Hogwarts," Lupin said, smiling at Harry. "Your father was an heir to Gryffindor, who owned it, and James passed it to Sirius when he died. After Sirius had it, he passed it to Harry."

"Including Hogwarts, which was passed to me by James Potter's passing."

We all looked at Harry, who was shocked. "I - I own Hogwarts?"

Dumbledore nodded, "It appears so. There is more."

"You also take the title of the Black House, Lord Black."

Harry nearly choked, "I can't take that title, I'm not even a Black!"

I shook my head, "You are."

All eyes turned to me, "I was reading the family tree during Christmas break, and I saw that Hestia Black married William Potter. Your Sirius' great something nephew. You have Black blood flowing through you, Harry."

Lupin's eyes widened.

Tonks smiled, "So, that means that you are related to me as well."

"But, I'm related to Godric Gryffindor? Don't you think that's a little far fetched?"

Dumbledore smiled and pulled out a large scroll of parchment.

"Quite provable actually. These parchments trace themselves and record even the person that has the slightest hint of his blood in them."

He unrolled it and pointed to Harry's name. "There you are."

We all leaned forward and saw it. The castle seemed to shift. We all looked at a roll of parchment that just seemed to appear. Dumbledore took it hesitantly.

"To Harry James Potter, the heir to Gryffindor, I am happy to say that you also take the title of Lord Gryffindor." Dumbledore read off. "The Castle will protect you and you will be able to communicate with the castle, as well as it can communicate to you. Your great-to-the-hundreth-power-grandfather, Godric Gryffindor."

Dumbledore didn't look happy.

"Sir, is something the matter?" Hermione asked.

"Oh, nothing, Miss Granger. I was just thinking that that means that Harry can hire and fire staff."

"I can get rid of professors?" Harry asked, grinning slightly.

"You can't fire Snape, Harry," I hurried out before he said the words.

"And why not?" Harry asked, slightly annoyed.

"Because he was appointed by Dumbledore to protect you," Hermione finished.

Dumbledore looked at me and Hermione, a little shocked. "You knew?"

We nodded, "We figured it out in first year, with his leg. He was hiding the stone and got bitten."

Everyone looked at us, dumbfounded. "And you just figured it out like that?"

I shook my head, "I always knew as soon as Harry had broom trouble, what Snape was saying. I could read his lips and he was saying a reversing spell. When Hermione lit his robes on fire, it distracted Quarrel as well, and stopped the chant."

There was silence and I knew that they would believe me in my most outrageous secret. My pureblood family knew.

"Besides, Sirius told me everything." I whispered. "He is my dad, after all. Read the last line of the will."

Dumbledore looked at the last line, "And Amalie Herring, my daughter, always know that I have loved you. Your mother took you before the Order could send you away. Hope you can forgive me for never telling you."

I smiled a little and sat back in my chair. "My mother told me when I came home from the Ministry Battle. She always loved him, she couldn't believe it when I told her he. . . died."

I chuckled slightly, "I am the last heir to the Blacks, and I didn't even know until three weeks ago."

Harry looked at my black hair, slightly curly, and my black eyes. I looked just like Sirius, just female-fied. I didn't look anything like my blond haired, green eyed mother.

"Your Sirius's daughter?" Harry asked, shocked for nearly the fifteenth time.

I nodded, "Amalie Persephone Black-Herring, daughter of Sirius Black and Melody Herring. Shocker, huh?"

"It looks like we're done here, you are all dismissed to leave," Dumbledore said. We walked out the front door, where we put our trunks and Tonks turned to me.

"You look just like him, you know."

I nodded, "Yeah, I know."

"I can't believe he never told us!" Lupin chuckled, "It's just like him though, knowing the best secret ever and only telling it to us after he. . . passed."

I smiled a little, "Yeah, I know what you mean."

Harry turned to me, "You never told me."

I looked down, ashamed, "Okay, so I only found out the day after the Battle and you were still grieving. I didn't want you to look at me and have to look the other way. I know I should have, but I couldn't find myself to tell you. I was still crying over it too."

Harry wrapped his arm around me. I felt a few tears fall from my eyes. I let Harry hold me like that for a while.

"I'm sorry, I should have told you."

He chuckled, "It's quite alright."

I pulled out of his arms, "Let's fly with the others before we get too far behind. Oh, I almost forgot."

I snapped my fingers and Kreature appeared. "You can work in the kitchens here until I decide what to do with you."

"Oh, Thank you, thank you, thank you!" Kreature said, truely sounding relieved.

"Good luck, Kreature," I called over my shoulder, then I heard him apparate. I lifted my broom and hooked my trunk up to it. Harry did the same, and then we were flying toward Grimmauld Place, my home.
