A/N: Alright final chapter hope you like

Harry POV:

It's been just over two weeks since I found out the existence of Amelia. And whilst I've yet to meet her inn that time my imagination has created this whole person. Imagined different ways our conversation would go. It's like she's taken over my head.

After getting over the shock of her existence I was filled with this strange hope I've honestly never experienced before. In a way it's like, what Sirius was like with me, he knew I wasn't my mum or dad and yet I was his second chance to spend more time with a part of them. Although I believe that me being responsible for Sirius' death meant this was a blessing two fold. I get to spend more time with a part of him but will also get a chance for a measure of forgiveness.

It's these thoughts that were swirling around my mind as I sat waiting in a small Cafe' in the heart of London for Amelia to arrive. I knew that she had been informed briefly by Shacklebolt, then accompanied him back to first the Three Broomsticks then the ministry itself over the course of 3 days so that everything could be explained. But no one not even Shacklebolt himself would give me any details.

I had been sitting her for 15 minutes and was fidgeting nervously not sure whether or not this girl would even show up. Pulling out my phone I messaged Ginny to check up on Teddy. I had just finished reading Ginny's reply and looking at the picture she sent with it of Teddy asleep with Ginny's cat in his small 3 year old arms when I heard the bell above the door ring. Glancing up I knew immediately that the person walking through the door was Amelia.

Not because she was exactly as I imagined, quite the opposite actually. For some reason in my mind although id been told she was a year older than me I made her up to be nothing more than a little girl. But here in front of me was in fact a woman, I knew how handsome the Black family tended to be especially Sirius and Bellatrix before Azkaban and it appeared as if that trait was passed down to Amelia.

She had pale white skin with the Black signature mop of curly black hair, but the startling of all her features were her story Grey eyes. Overall her appearance alone was enough that people stopped mid conversation to look at her in awe.

Glancing around her eyes landing on me and she began making her way through the tables to me. Stopping right in front she glanced at me for a moment before taking a seat opposite, "Your Harry I'm assuming?" her voice stopped my thoughts, it wasn't that it was strange or annoying quite the opposite it was normal but even in those few words I heard the hint of humour that always appeared in Sirius' voice whenever he spoke regardless of the topic. And it hit me; this was Sirius' daughter a physical part of him was sitting in front of me staring at me like I had mental issues.

That's when I realised I hadn't replied and it's been about 2 minutes. Clearly my throat I replied, "sorry, yeah I am how'd you know that?"

"Kingsley Shacklebolt, told me to look for messy black hair two black circles, a piece of tape with a lightning bolt scar"

I couldn't help but laugh even in a situation where no one was in any real danger it was just like Kingsley to be over caution and try to be cryptic with my description. With a twinge of sadness I thought that's something moody would have done.

"Well good guess, so, um." I struggled to find a way to start the conversation. Wishing id brought Hermione and Ron with me. "How are you coping with..."

"...with finding out my father who I never met was actually a wizard that had to keep me hidden so that is crazy family wouldn't kill me and my mum?"

"Yeah, I remember when I got told I was a wizard I was pretty shocked,"

"Shocks kind of an understatement. Look I'm still processing a lot but I was told you had something to ask me, so can I ask what that it."

I swallowed back tears, at the familiarity of Amelia's mannerisms.

"Right, so I'm not sure if you were told, but Sirius left you his house. The thing is, I've spent a lot of times there. it's the main place outside of Hogwarts, that feels like home to me, and wanted to buy it off you."

"Why?"

"I told you its home to me."

"No I, mean why did you spend a lot of time there? How did you know dad, I mean Sirius?"

"I was his godson."

"Oh, look I'd love to say yes but really I don't have anywhere else to go I don't have a home and since I'm being forced to learn about magic it was suggested I go somewhere in the magic world, so I'm planning to move there."

I couldn't hide my disappointment, "oh that's ok I understand."

"I am sorry, um actually, this is going to sound completely tactless and rude but I'm heading over there to check it out, would you be able to come with me they told me I'd need a wizard with me." This was the first time Amelia appeared anything less than confident.

One part of me wanted to tell her no but an even stronger part wanted to go and say goodbye to the house properly. "Yeah ok, if you're not hungry we can go now."

She nodded quickly and stood up, I grabbed my coat and wallet standing beside here we left the cafe' with the male occupants envious gaze burning the back of my head.

We had been standing in the abandoned lot facing the houses of Grimmauld Place for over 5 minutes. For the moment we arrived and Amelia witnessed the spectacular way in which number 12 appears she has been standing beside me as stiff as a board with her eyes so wide they appear as if they may just fall out of head.

Finally the icy cold air forced me to gently shake her, "come on inside, that's really nothing."

She looked over at me in disbelief, but began to walk towards the front door. "Nothing but it wasn't there! and then it slid out form the other houses and it just appeared, no one else noticed how?"

My smirk I had tried to hold out broke free of my control, "magic."

She gently bumped me as we made our way to the front door. Both taking a deep breath, for two entirely different reasons we enter inside.

Immediately rising from the carpet was a dust figure in the shape of Albus Dumbledore of course being used to him during my last stay here I calmly said, "I did not kill you" and it disappeared. Amelia however screamed at the top of her lungs and hid behind me knocking over the umbrella stand that once upon a time tonks couldn't enter without knocking over.

This caused the curtains to fly open revealing a screaming Mrs Black.

"MUDBLOOD GRANCHILDREN? NEVER WELCOME IN THE HOUSE OF BLACK!"

Over top of the screaming I gestured at Amelia to stay where she was, which happened to be hunched over covering half her face with her hands. None the less she nodded. After I had closed Mrs Blacks curtains I returned to find Amelia hadn't moved a muscle. I gently placed my hand on her arm and helped her stand, guiding her to the kitchen.

Once seated I pulled out my wand and conjured two butter beers.

"W w w what was all that?" she asked breathlessly whilst gesturing to the door we had come through.

It took another 2 hours to explain everything in the house to her. After such time she turned towards me, "I didn't realize it would be like this. I don't want to sell it just yet but maybe you'd like to live here with me. It seems best to have a trained wizard around here."

I was so excited it wasn't exactly what I wanted but it was better. Amelia turned out to be funny and smart, so much like her father at times I had to remind myself not to think of them as the same person. But there was one this she had to know before I could give her my answer.

"I'd love to say yes but there's something you need to know first."

I saw a flicker of concern cross her face.

"It wouldn't just be me moving in I have a son as well."

Surprise crossed her face before she had controlled her expression, "that's ok. Will the mother be an issue though? Because I don't want to cause any issues."

I shook my head, "No definitely not, it's a long story but I'm not his biological father I'm his godfather but after the battle of Hogwarts I'm all he has left."

"Oh that's terrible. I have a question for you though. What was the battle of Hogwarts?"

It was so weird someone asking me that question, everybody in the wizarding world knew the story I'd almost forgotten there were people that didn't know.

I had an idea, "you know Sirius left me his diaries from throughout the years so that I can learn more about my parents I want to read them first then you can have them but why don't I get you the books I wrote during my teen years, it has all the background information on Sirius and explains nearly everything?"

She nodded her head, " It seems like I'll need them."

One week later Amelia, teddy and I moved in to Grimmauld place

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

3 years later

Moving into Grimmauld place was the best decision I had ever made. For the first year it seemed all we did was finish the cleaning that we had started so many years ago as well as some serious changes. About 1 month after moving in Amelia and I were at our wits ends over what to do with Mrs Black's painting, every time Teddy laughed or cried it would be accompanied by Mrs Blacks screaming. Finally after teddy screaming from a nightmare at 3 in the morning woke Mrs. Black's painting Amelia in her pyjamas passed by me carrying a sledgehammer of all things and began knocking down the wall that held not only Mrs Blacks painting but the whole families.

30 minutes later the whole wall was in pieces at her feet. I was staring in wonder, "how you do that? They were on that wall with an everlasting anti removable jinx. We tried everything."

"You tried everything magic, technically this way I didn't remove them from the wall I just removed the wall from the house. For the next week she walked around so proud of her self. Once we were finished the house was almost unrecognizable. It was now truly home.

We were also kept busy be trying to introduce Amelia to the wizarding world. Which is not easy in the slightest. After all she was in her early 20's she couldn't just got to Hogwarts and be in first year.

It took a lot of meetings until they reached an agreement. Amelia was provided with various tutors that came to the house and taught her the subjects. Then over the two week exam times at Hogwarts she was to attend and stay there to do exams with the students.

So far Amelia was proving to be an extraordinary witch. She managed to compress years 1,2,3 and 4 into just two years. So the agreement had to change she did however get to have extended stays at Hogwarts. But now she's up to year 5 her OWLS she's slowed down a bit.

More than her magical abilities, Amelia herself is an extraordinary person, she lost her mother when she was very young and had no one from the muggle world that cares for her. In the wizarding world however she has a whole family. The Wasleys and the rest of my friends immediately took to her, only Hermione was a little slower to warm up to her. But as she explained it wasn't that she didn't like her rather that she was protecting both teddy and I. Now thought they are inseparable. Hermione came over most days to help Amelia prepare for her OWLs.

And most importantly Teddy adores Amelia, he's old enough now he kind of understands, where his real parents are but still calls me his papa and Amelia Mamma.

Of course not everything has been smooth sailing. I'll never forget the day not long after we had moved in that Amelia stormed into my room and through a book at my head. "You Dick! How could you not tell me it was you? You're the reason dad got killed!"

It took 2 months and many conversations with both Hermione and Ginny before she came around and apologized. Then there were the other little fights you'd expect when two people who barely know each other move in together, with a baby no less.

But through it all we have stuck together getting stronger every day. Over these past years I've stopped seeing Amelia as a second chance to get to know Sirius. They are two completely different people. Furthermore She's truly allowed me to heal and forgive myself. I'd always had a problem being open about my experiences but Amelia read them, and never pushed me for information. She simply accepted me damaged and all.

And so tonight celebrating our 3 years of moving in together. I've organised for Ron and Hermione to babysit Teddy and am taking Amelia back to the cafe we first met in. It's also the night I'm planning to ask her to be my girlfriend.

I hope she says yes.
