CHAPTER 9

"Harry?" The man's voice was weak but joy was clear in it. He stood up and got closer to him and Sophie.

"Stay there!" Harry demanded. "This is impossible, I saw you die. You can't be here"

"I understand you my boy, but I am, It's me " One of his hands was grabbing his chest and the other was held out for Harry.

"I know what to do" Sophie hadn't meant to say it out loud; she was just talking to herself. When she looked up both men where looking at her. "Stay still, don't worry, it won't hurt. Revelatum aura!"

A white glow surrounded Sirius shocking him and Harry.

"He is telling the truth, if not his aura would be black" With that being said Harry ran into his godfather's arms.

Sophie had remembered that spell from her father's journal. If the person's aura didn't match his physical appearance (because of polyjuice potion or a spell) the aura would turn dark.

"Sirius!" The concern in Harry's voice woke Sophie from her trance. He had fainted and fallen to the ground and was moaning in pain.

"Let me see him" Mediwizardy had been part of Sophie's training so she knew exactly what to do.

After muttering a few words Sophie's hands were covered with a green glow that relieved Sirius's pain and surprised Harry. As the glow disappeared she took her wand and passed it over his wounds, making them close and heal. Sirius woke up relieved and stronger to find his face on Sophie's lap. As it was usual her face captivated him.

"I don't think we have met" He rose to his feet with Harry's help, consequently so did Sophie. "Sirius Black"

"Sophie Miller"

"You wouldn-" His question was interrupted by Harry's voice.

"We must get out of here as soon as possible, whatever attacked you won't stay away from us for long"

"You're right, let's go"

As the three of them got to the castle they heard few voices. It was only 7:30 but the sun had been down for a while and it was freezing.

Harry helped Sophie cast a disillusionment spell on Sirius and took him to Dumbledore's office as fast as he could.

Sophie handed Sirius a potion before entering Dumbledore's office making him better.

Dumbledore had been as surprised as Harry and Sophie and instantly summoned Remus knowing how glad he'd be with the news. He congratulated Sophie and Harry for their courage and granted them ten points, afterwards granted Sophie thirty points for her medical skills and for thinking during tough times.

Madame Pomfrey had checked on Sirius and said that there wasn't much for her to do as Sophie had already done it. "All that's left is sleep and eat" She had said.

Seconds later house a house elf appeared with a plate filled with food and a globet of water. Dumbledore sent the elf looking for Ron and Hermione as he thought they would like to know about Sirius as well.

Hermione hugged him and almost cried at his familiar face, and Ron had nearly fainted.

Neither one of them could believe it. They had both seen him die, and there he was, eating a turkey leg right in front of their noses.

Minutes later Remus appareated into the office and hugged his dear friend with teary eyes.After talking for a while Remus turned to his goddaughter. He was glad they had gotten there to take her before you-know-who tried to recruit her. She was the only family he had left and he wouldn't loose her.

"I didn't know you knew mediwizardy" Hermione said surprised to Sophie.

"My mother taught me, dough I'm still in training, Madame Pomfrey said that she would let me help her at times" After seeing what she had done with Sirius Madame Pomfrey knew that she had found the assistant she had being longing for a long time.

"You are Will and Lizzy's daughter" Sirius now stood by Sophie admiring her from head to toes.

"The one and only" she replied with a joyful smile, though it had sounded more like a statement than a question.

"Your parents where two of my greatest friends, I had never met anyone like them before." His eyes kept wondering through her perfect features.

All Sophie could reply with was her smile. It made him smile as well. Her smile usually had such effect on people; it was so warm and inviting that it was contagious.

"You have your mother's smile. It always made me smile as well."

"Thank you."

Elizabeth Jones Miller was gorgeous. Her eyes were bright green and her skin olive. She always had a constant glow and smile, just like Sophie, that made people levitate towards her. She was kind and caring.

Sophie had gotten her hazel green eyes and light brown curls from her father. He was a very handsome man. It was only rational that they would have had such a magnificent daughter.

"Sirius, I see you met Sophie" Remus set his arm protectively around his goddaughter as if warning him to stay away, though he knew he would never listen.

"I was just telling her about how much she remembered me of Lizzy" He was right. With what had happened the night Remus had found Sophie he hadn't been able to look at her properly. The last time he had seen her was four years ago, when she was just twelve. She was beautiful then but she was just a child. Now she had grown into a stunning young woman, just like her mother. She is even prettier, he thought.

"I've spoken to Molly, you are welcome to stay at the burrow for as long as you please, but she said that you will stay for the holidays and she wouldn't take a no for an answer." Dumbledore had stopped talking to Harry, Ron and Hermione and now was speaking to Sirius. "You are welcome to stay for the night and leave tomorrow morning if you can't appareate." He directed his gaze to Sophie and then Harry who was now by his Godfather's side. "I almost forget, would you mind telling me what you were doing in the forbidden forest at night?" He cocked his white brow in expectancy. "Due to the circumstance and that you didn't break your curfew I won't punish you. Now you four go to your common room and to bed. You'll have a long train ride home tomorrow"

They bid goodbye and left.

"You touch her and I'll make sure you get hit by a permanent stinging hex, are we clear?" Remus's voice was intense.

It was useless; he didn't hear a thing as he saw her hourglass figure fade away.
