New Chapter up! I own the OCs. Harry Potter is the property of the wonderful J.K Rowling, and I make no money out of this.
Chapter 2)
A small part of Sirius wanted to leave to find Pettigrew and rip out his traitorous throat. The majority of him told him to stay by the young girl's bedside. Few people came to visit, as Hermione's parents were her only relatives. The people taking care of Ariadne were rather nice, as they came by to visit and let Ariadne see her sister.
Hermione was just a girl, the same age as his godson. He had never been religious, but he prayed that someone would donate a heart-anyone really. Heck, if he didn't want to kill Pettigrew, he would transform into a human and give his heart up. But he needed to remain alive, if only a bit longer.
Dr. Grey often checked on Hermione, and talked out loud about her condition. Her husband, Dr. Andrew Grey, was a veterinarian, and came by to make sure the black dog was healthy. He was glad for that.
He just wished that Hermione was alright. He watched, day after day, as she was continually checked on by doctors. One day, something changed. Hermione's hand twitched.
Sirius began barking, catching the attention of a nearby nurse, who came in.
Motioning towards her hand, the nurse finally caught the movement. She immediately called for Dr. Grey, who came rushing in.
"Come on Hermione fight! Were you not the one who told me your family are descendent of gladiators? Come on, wake up!"
"Ariadne,where's Ariadne?" Was the first words to come out of Hermione's mouth. Sirius felt his whole body relax.

Hermione had one hand on the large dog that shared her bed, as she looked at her doctor.
"So, what happened Doc?"
"There was a car crash. Luckily, a man saw the crash and kept you alive until the paramedics arrived. Unfortunately said man was an escaped convict, who once again escaped the police. Your parents didn't survive."
"Where's Ariadne?" She asked, calmly accepted what had happened.
"She's in a home right now. The couple insists on only being temporary, as they think you two should stick together and they aren't willing to take on a second child. Or adopt at all for that matter.."
"Finding someone to adopt me will be difficult, considering all my problems." Hermione snorted.
"I know, and you'll be going to that boarding school of yours soon. What was it called? Hogwarts?"
Hermione noticed the dog go still under her hand before relaxing. "Yes, Hogwarts. I'm just not sure what to do, especially with Ariadne.." Her head dropped.
The dark skinned Egyptian descended woman smiled. "Luckily for you, I'm actually able to take on foster kids."
Hermione's head snapped up.
"What are you saying?"
"I will become Ariadne's and your's official foster parent. Now, I'm not promising adoption, and I can only do this until next July. So try to get adopted by then if you don't want to get in the system. Also, I'll take care of your guard dog unless Hogwart's allows dogs."
"I don't think they do."
"Well, if you want buy yourself a pet, like an owl or something." Dr. Grey said. "I know your parents were talking of letting you have one while you were at school."
Hermione nodded. "That would be great, do you think I could take Ari with me when I get my books?"
Dr. Grey nodded. "Sure, that'll be fine. You should be able to go to the Alley in a few days."
Hermione smiled. "Good, and you'll watch this guy?" She patted the dog next to her.
"Of course."
