That'll be explained later. All of these names are authentic Spanish, Scottish, Italian, Irish, and Greek names (Thekla is the only pure Greek though). There are some names in here that I added but I'm not saying their mine because they don't play huge roles and I'm too lazy to go through the whole story again and type more names to this already long list (like Professor Markis, Nikita, etc…)

Now…Enjoy. Please review!

Aurora followed her friends to the Hogsmeade Train. Lily and Aurora all looked back at the castle, sighing softly to themselves. Aurora would be coming back the next year. She had asked Dumbledore if she could have a year off to get her life situated and settled. He had said yes and allowed her a year to get everything in order. Holly and Nicola were already at Tim's. Aurora and Italia were on their way to them now. Italia had gotten sick when Holly and Nicola had left, otherwise she would have been there too.

Aurora picked Italia up and balanced her on her hip as she held Angel's leash in her other hand. Angel purred loudly, blinking lazily up at Aurora. She felt a strong hand on her lower back and looked up to her left and smiled at Sirius as he grinned at her.

"Need any help?"

"Would you take Angel for me?" He nodded and stooped down to pick the friendly feline up. Angel rubbed her head under his chin and licked at his chin as she purred. He chuckled and helped Aurora onto the train and into a compartment. He sat down next to her after she had placed the wide awake Italia on her own seat. Italia pet Angel as the cat purred even louder and laid on the little girl's lap.

Two hours into the trip, Italia had fallen asleep as well as Angel. Angel was lying on her back, her front paws bent up into the air, her back legs spread out. Aurora giggled as she played with Sirius' black hair, his head lying in her lap. He too was asleep. Or so she thought. As she gazed out the wind, still absentmindedly teasing his hair, Sirius had cracked open an eye and grinned when he saw that Italia had gone to sleep. He slowly sat up and looked into Aurora's smiling face. She was looking at him now. He was speechless as he gazed at her. He thought she was the most beautiful thing he'd ever seen with the afternoon sun shining in through the window, making her hair glow softly around her head like a halo and her eyes looked at him happily.

He realized then that he wanted her in his life for as long as he could have her. He leaned into her, kissing her as his hands rested on either side of her hips. He hardened the kiss and she responded to him, opening her lips slightly. He took the invitation and deepened the kiss, making her moan very softly. He gently pushed her back onto the cushioned seat and laid on top of her, his elbows supporting him. Her hands moved up his sides and chest to his neck and jaw as she helped deepen the kiss even further. Her legs came up to his sides, her knees in the air as she let him rest between her shapely thighs.

He groaned as one of his hands slid down to her hips. He rested that hand there and the other slid into her hair, angling her head so he could kiss her even better. Before long, the train slowed to a stop and Sirius pulled up from the kiss for air. Both panted heavily as they stared at each other. He gulped and sat up, backing up as well. Aurora was relieved to see that Italia was still asleep but she blushed when Angel looked at her with her half-mast green/amber eyes. Sirius ran a hand through his hair and scratched the back of his head as he grinned crookedly at Aurora. Aurora giggled and gave him a peck on the cheek as Lily, James, Pippa, Remus, and Peter came to get them. Aurora woke Italia up and led her and Angel out of the train and through the barrier separating her magical world from her muggle world. She hugged Lily and Pippa first.

"Pippa, I'll see you at the end of your last year at Hogwarts," Aurora told her and Pippa grinned. Aurora hugged Remus and they all waved as Remus and Pippa walked off to meet their parents.

"Well, my parents and sister are here," Lily stated a bit reluctantly. Aurora hugged her tight and whispered to her.

"Lily, we have to see each other again soon. Keep in touch until then." Lily nodded and then pulled away. She was in tears when she hugged James, her arms hooking under his as he wrapped his muscular arms around her waist and he kissed her neck. Lily left, constantly looking over her shoulder to wave at them, but soon she was gone too, leaving James, Sirius, and Aurora alone together.

"Well, Sirius, I'll be over at the car with Mum and Dad. Don't take too long." James gave Aurora a quick but meaningful hug and then walked to his parents. Aurora watched him walk away before she looked up at a very serious Sirius. He almost looked like he was in pain. Her brows furrowed and she touched his face.

"Sirius, is something wrong?"

"When will I see you again?"

"I…I don't know. I'm going to Tim's for a few months, until I find my own place. I'll keep in touch, Sirius," she reassured him as she pulled him into a hug, one arm banded across his broad shoulders, her other hand at the base of his neck. He placed his face in the crook of her neck, his own arms wrapping around her slim waist. They held each other, eyes closed, for a few minutes before James' dad honked the horn of his car at them. Sirius grumbled but pulled away. He kissed her and then kissed her forehead before squeezing her hands and walking away. Aurora crossed her arms and watched him walk away. She smiled and waved at him when he looked at her one last time at the door of the car. He got in and the car drove off, leaving Aurora to herself.

She sighed heavily and turned to Italia, who whimpered and pointed to her left. Aurora turned and gasped as her eyes widened. There, not five yards away from her, stood Lord Voldemort in a black tux and tie. Muggles were walking by him, staring at him as if he were from a horror movie. Don't. Don't look at him! She wanted to shout at them all but her tongue was tied. She lifted Italia into her arms along with her cat, Angel. Angel hissed towards Voldemort as he began to approach Aurora.

She tucked Italia in tight against her and as she looked around, trying to find someone from the magical community; everyone was gone. Panic rose up in her chest to her throat. She looked back at him and nearly screamed when he stood right in front of her. She took an automatic step backwards. He smiled at her slightly, his cruel blue eyes gazing calmly down at her. She had to crane her neck slightly to glare up at him. He could smell her fear and he closed his eyes as she took in a deep whiff of it.

"Ahhhh…Fear." He began to circle around her and she followed him. "You look just like your mother. What's the matter, Aurora?" He went to reach out to touch her face but she hissed and moved out of his reach. His eyes sparked dangerously and he glared at her evilly. "That wasn't smart." He raised his hand up and went to hit her. Instead of his hand making contact with her skin, she was thrown backwards, Italia and Angel flying out of her arms. She landed hard on her back, her breath leaving her as she heard Italia cry out and whimper and she heard Angel hissing and yowling.

Aurora gasped for air, her lungs not filling up at all. She looked to her left for Italia and saw that Rodolphus Lestrange had her in his arms, his wand pointed at her head as she hung limply against him, her eyes on Aurora. The panic was becoming more prominent as she struggled to suck in air. She then looked to her right and saw Fenrir Greyback practically strangling her cat/kneazle mix. Aurora heard Voldemort's slow footsteps and looked up at him, their blue eyes locking. He kneeled down to her, his hand gently touching her soft cheek. She forced herself to look at him and was finally regaining her breath back when she felt a sharp pain in her head. She shrieked and squeezed her eyes shut as she tried to force him out of her mind.

He was pulling on every memory, every feeling she ever felt. She saw her parents smiling faces, her brothers when they were teens and still in Hogwarts. She saw memories of a summer vacation in Egypt, the pyramids behind her mother as she looked at Aurora, laughing. She saw Lily and Andromeda at the tree by the lake. They were smiling and laughing with her. She saw Pippa with Severus, holding each other's hands as they waved behind them at Aurora. She saw James and Lily cuddling and talking in Potions, Andromeda hexing a fifth year boy for placing a snake in her book bag. She saw Sirius. He was grinning. Then she saw them arguing about whether animagi should be illegal or not in Transfiguration during their fifth year. Then she saw them snogging on the train right before they had gotten to King's Cross.

More memories of classes and teachers and Dumbledore surfaced. She was remembering sobbing after the news about her parents and then her grandparents. She saw the argument between her and Tim about Alfred. Aurora was writhing in pain. She felt cold and sweaty. She heard Italia crying and Angel hissing. Italia… Memories of when her sisters were born. NO!

"NO!" She screamed, sitting up. She placed her hands against his chest, her narrowed eyes glaring into his slightly surprised ones. She felt her hands tingle and them a sharp, blue color left them and went into his chest. He yelled as he was launched backwards from her, his back and head hitting a pillar hard. She panted, her eyes wild as she shook. She stood quickly, grabbing her wand from her pants. She pointed it at him, her eyes blazing hotly.

"You BASTARD!?" She yelled at him. He was starting to look very pissed off. She looked to her left from the corner of her eyes and silently used the expelliarmus spell on Fenrir. He roared as he was sent flying away, her cat dropping onto her paws. She hissed at Voldemort, her ears pinned back as she slowly approached Aurora, stopping just behind her.

Rodolphus spoke up. "Put your wand down, you silly girl, or the little one gets it!" Aurora turned to him and was about to hex him when Voldemort came up behind her, placing his hand over her mouth. She screamed but it was muffled against his hand. She felt his hot breath on her cheek and shut her eyes tight.

"Aurora…Tsk tsk…You should know better then to attack me and then turn your back on me," he whispered into her ear.

"Let her go now, Tom!" She heard from her left and felt him tense. She took the opportunity and jabbed him in the gut before yanking free and running at Rodolphus. The Death Eater glared at her but dropped Italia as Aurora lunged for him. She knocked him down and punched him hard in the face before rolling away from him. She stood quickly and grabbed Italia, Disapparating; she Apparated next to Cornelius Fudge and behind Dumbledore, as she knelt down to Angel when the cat came running to her. Dumbledore was there now so she felt a hell of a lot safer. She watched the two men glare at each other, both wands pointed at the other. She looked down at the crying Italia and gently pet her head, whispering to her softly that everything was going to be ok now. She looked back up at Voldemort and they once again made eye contact.

"You will lose everyone you hold dear, Aurora. I've already taken care of your mother, father, grandparents, and brother. Next will be your friends and sisters and your lover." With that, he, Fenrir, and Rodolphus all Disapparated. Aurora looked confused but chose to not believe him completely. She stood and looked at Dumbledore.

"How did you know he was here?"

"Your sister Holly," Dumbledore told her. Aurora suddenly looked confused and felt even more confused.

"How would Holly know?"

"Come, Aurora; we're going to St. Mungo's."
