Chapter Three-

Shocking Letters and drunkenness

The past five weeks went similarly to what happened on the very first day. Yes, even Ebony getting angry at Umbridge, and taking it out of Trelawney every Monday. On the plus side, the rest of the week, her friends didn't have to suffer along side with her.

On a barely less negative note, Jamie and Holly continued their "war" and their pranks kept getting bigger and more outrageous. After Holly had painted Jamie's face, Jamie retaliated in a similar way. Jamie dyed Holly's hair into the silver and green of the Slytherins. Holly had been traumatized.

After that, Holly charmed all of Jamie's normal clothing so they would keep shrinking every time she tried to wear them. Jamie had ended up having to wear a very old and smelly robes all day.

Jamie wasn't sensible enough to at least leave Holly one terrible option, so Jamie got rid of all of Holly's clothes. If it weren't for Holly's nerve, she would've had to wait for a whole day in dormitory until she could get more clothes.

Needless to say, the boys had had a very pleasant shock when they saw a half-naked girl in a towel march down and eat at the Great Hall like nothing was wrong. All the boys nearly had heart-failure, and Ebony couldn't blame them. The pranks continued, every day for weeks until last week they both went a tad bit far. Holly got an embarrassing photo of Jamie, copied it by the thousands, until she had several very high stacks. The genius had decided it would be brilliant to post a photo everywhere in the castle, until an even better idea came to mind. She thought it would be better to put them everywhere, so not a single inch of stone wall can be seen. She had woken up early to do it and by the time people were waking up, her handiwork was done. On the very same day during breakfast, Jamie ignited fireworks. They weren't normal fireworks either. Jamie had somehow rigged them, so they would turn into Holly's face when she had had that one enormous pimple. It was not pretty.

The pranks had earned them week-long detentions, but they didn't mind much. They called a truce, so they could stay out of trouble until the week after their detentions. It was the first Hogsmeade weekend of the year and Ginny had invited them to some meeting thing. Apparently, the Golden Trio had organized it, so maybe Ebony and the girls would get to hear something interesting.

Surprisingly, Jamie and Holly were able to stay out of trouble. Nobody, except the twins, missed their pranks. Everyone was more than happy to finally have one moment without something turning odd colors, or blowing up. It was refreshing.

"Hey Ginny, isn't the whole meeting thing at the Hog's head this weekend?", Ebony asked.

Ginny looked up from the Potions homework and said, "Yeah. I'll take you guys there.". Then she added with a look at Jamie and Holly, "I'm taking my boyfriend Michael with us, so please try to be nice?" A couple weeks ago, Ginny had confessed to us that after the Yule Ball last year, her and Michael had hooked up. They had become a bit of an item after term started again.

Truth be told, none of the other girls really liked him. He was a bit clingy with Ginny, and wasn't a very good sportsman. He was a very sore loser when his House team lost a Quidditch match. To put it bluntly, he was an annoying prat. Jamie didn't bother to even hide the fact she hates him. She makes faces and complains loudly when she has to be near him. Holly hates him just as much as Jamie, but she keeps her comments to herself. Well, she did most of the time. Ebony was probably the only one, out of Ginny's friends, that tried to be cordial. Despite having the worst temper, she had a lot of patience. It took a lot to make her blow, but if you did, it would be best to run for the hills. She may not really dislike the boy as much as her friends, or maybe she's really good at hiding it.

"Ugh! I hate that guy!", Jamie exclaimed. Ginny looked sadly at Jamie, "Can't you at least try? Try to like him? Try to even get to know him? He's an okay bloke...really!"

Holly and Jamie both gave her dubious looks. "We have tried Ginny... The guy is insufferable. You can't change him. He's naturally a prat. I've tried time and time again, and every time, he makes an arse of himself", Ebony finally said.

The girls all looked at Ebony with similar expressions of shock and confusion. "I thought you liked him Ebony?", Holly said confusedly. Ginny was still trying to figure out how to tell her eyes to pop back into their sockets, and her jaw to close. "No, but I tried to be nice for Ginny's sake. Hate is a really strong word so i don't say i hate him... I just really dislike him."

The girls nodded, and Ginny said, "Okay. Well nice to know you guys all hate him...I'll talk to him about how he is with you guys. He's perfectly friendly when its just me and him.."

"Maybe because you're busy snogging?", Holly offered. Ginny turned a delicate shade of pink and said, "Maybe... I'm still taking him to the meeting though, I'd feel bad about telling him 'no' now. Besides, Hermione told me to bring as much people as I could trust." Jamie and Holly shrugged and Ebony nodded. "I'm sure we can put up with him for the little while we'll have to spend with him..." Ginny's eyes widened and she grinned, " Thank you! Ebony... You know you're my favorite friend right?"

"I thought I was your favorite!", Jamie exclaimed. Holly giggled, "She never said you were her favorite. Ebony's always been the favorite, because she knows how to behave. I was never favorite because my healthy habits are 'annoying' and I muck around with you too much" Ginny giggled and enveloped her friends into a group hug.

xXXXxxXXXxxXXXxxXXXxxXXXx

"You guys! Over here!", Ginny exclaimed from where she was standing with Michael. They were already outside the castle waiting for the other girls. Michael was standing very close to Ginny, with an arm around her waist, and grinning like an idiot. No one knows how he could be so peppy when Jamie and Holly made it so obvious they detested him. Either he was in idiot and was oblivious, or he chose to ignore it. No one will really ever know for sure.

The girls walked reluctantly towards the couple, and all five of them began walking towards Hogsmeade. Michael smiled and nodded in acknowledgement at the girls, and Ebony was the only one to say 'hello'. Holly bit her lip and scowled, and Jamie pretended to gag.

"I can't wait for the next Quidditch match," Jamie said loudly, successfully getting Michael's attention.

"I know me either!", he said. Jamie smirked, "I just hope you won't throw another hissy fit when Gryffindor beats Hufflepuff when they go head-to-head" Michael kept a blank face, but he already knew what she was talking about. He knew he got really angry when his team lost, but he didn't even try to fix it. Ginny raised an eyebrow at Jamie, but said nothing while she led the way to the Hog's Head.

They entered the shop and spotted some other people and followed them into a room where the Golden Trio sat. People were already sitting waiting for someone to say something. They went to the back of the room and waited for the last people to trickle into the small room.

Ebony was burning with curiosity, and she knew Jamie was too by the way she kept tapping her foot. She listened as the Hermione stuttered for the right words to say, and as Harry finally talked about his encounters with You-Know-Who and the Dark Arts. To put it mildly, it was amazing. Ebony knew that even if she wasn't told about all the amazing things he pulled off she would've tried to help him and the Golden trio as much as she could. Even if it meant joining an illegal club that could get her expelled, or in the least a lotof trouble. Her resolve to join this group was further strengthened when she realized they would be learning real Defense Against the Dark Arts, instead reading about the theoryfrom that incompetent teacher. Part of the reason she wanted to wanted to join was out of pure spite for that hateful hag, Umbridge.

Ebony was one of the first to sign her name on the little sheet of paper Hermione passed out, making you an official member of the group. After a bit of squabbling the group was named "Dumbledore's Army", or the "DA" for short. After a bit more talking, everyone started trickling out of the room.

Ebony decided to head back to the castle and Jamie and Holly heartily agreed. Neither of them wanted to be stuck with Ginny and Michael being lovey-dovey.

"Ugh. Michael's a prat...", Jamie grumbled and Holly nodded in agreement. "Let's not have the mood dampened by that idiot. It's gonna be Ebony's birthday soon!", Holly said them addressed Ebony, "So? What do you want to do for your birthday?" Ebony tought for a minute then said, "Well, I don't really care, so don't go crazy. I just want to hang out with friends"

Holly nodded and let it drop, while Jamie exclaimed, "What? We have to do something for your birthday! It's already October fifth, and your birthday is the thirteenth!" When Ebony just shrugged Jamie huffed, but also let it drop. She grumbled something unintelligible and together they all kept walking up to the castle. Ebony knew that they were still a little hyped about the DA, and that by tomorrow they would be pestering her about her birthday again. She was more than willing to have at least one day of peace before they bombarded her about it again.

xXXXxxXXXxxXXXxxXXXxxXXXx

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY!"

Ebony jumped, startled by the loud sound and all the people yelling in unison. It was finally her birthday and , sure, she loved it. You only turned sixteen once, after all. She stood dumb-struck for a couple seconds before she was enveloped into bear-hug from none other than Jamie. When every saw Jamie do it, they all followed suit. After a quick scan, Ebony found out that there wasn't as much people in the Common Room as she had first thought. There were still a lot of people. There were more people than Ebony was used to, and it was odd.

After a brief hug with George, and some furious blushing Ebony said, "It's way to early for this... You couldn't let me sleep in on my birthday?". Ebony had been woken up and all but thrown out the dormitory by Holly. If it weren't for them, she would be sleeping comfortably in bed. A bed she really wanted to crawl back into.

"But its your birthday! You can't sleep through it all!", Holly exclaimed. Some other people in the common room whom overheard nodded in agreement. Ebony recognized them as some of their few Ravenclaw friends and wondered how they managed to sneak them past the Fat Lady's portrait.

"Says who? It's actually very easy to sleep through a birthday. You just don't wake up", Ebony said biting her lip. Biting her lip had become a bad habit of hers. If she got nervous or angry enough, she would sometimes actually draw blood. Her lips were always chapped and a little cracked.

"That's no fun, though. Imagine how lame it would be to sleep through your sixteenth birthday! If we were muggles that would be, like, social suicide!", said Holly. Despite being pure-blooded, Holly had a thing for muggles. She had lived in America for ten years before she moved to England, and things were obviously different. It seems that purebloods over there weren't as die-hard about staying pureblooded. Most of them anyway.

"That's the thing, Holly, we're not muggles," Holly groaned, "Why are you so damn stubborn? You know you're psyched about being fifteen, so quit acting as if you aren't!" Ebony sighed, recognizing defeat, and said, "It is pretty awesome. Its just its odd seeing so much people when I only wanted to be with my closest friends. By the way how did you guys manage to sneak Revenclaws in here?"

Holly ignored her first question and was starting to answer the other when she was interrupted by Jamie.

"That was due to the twins and I. It wasn't too hard. We just made Violet come out of her portrait and get drunk with the Fat Lady. After that, getting them confused enough to open the hole to anyone who wasn't a Gryffindor wasn't too hard.", she said looking smug. Ebony stifled a giggle and looked at where the twins were. They were talking to another Gryffindor boy whose name she thought was Lee, probably getting more ideas for pranks.

"You guys are unbelievablly mad. Amazingly genius, but mad all the same.", she said shaking her head. Jamie shrugged and Holly shook her head, just as amazed as Ebony.

Then, without warning, Ebony's stomach growled. Jamie snickered, "You should go get something to eat, and afterwards you can get your birthday presents" Ebony blushed and she followed Jamie and Holly down to the Great Hall.

She ate in silence, and she welcomed it. Ebony knew that the sweet silence wouldn't last for very long. It didn't help her situation that it was a weekend and that meant no classes. She would be bombarded with noise all day without relent. It was, needless to say, a bummer.

Ebony was munching on a tiny loaf of bread when a large gray owl swooped in next to her. She recognized it as her family's owl, and she made to take the thick-looking envelope from the owl. The owl was hers, but she had recently sent them a letter and they had not replied. She had been waiting for them to reply, and get her owl back.

As soon as she undid the knot of string, tying the letter to the owl, he flew back out the way he came from. Ebony didn't mind much, Alec wasn't known for being very social.

Ebony looked at the envelope and back up at her friends. They had been busy, mocking other people and each other, to even notice the owl had come and gone. She looked back down at the envelope and felt that she shouldn't tell anyone about it. She would wait until she was alone to read it. It seemed too important-looking to open and read in public. She would have to find a way to sneak away from her friends after her impromptu party was in full-swing. Ebony folded the envelope neatly and put it into her pocket.

Acting like nothing was different, Ebony followed her friends back up into the Common room. As they walked through corridors Ebony noticed something was off. There seemed to be a lot of older-looking people. Some looked like they were fresh out of Hogwarts, while most were old and looked important. They were all headed on place, though, which was in the direction of the Headmaster's office. Perhaps he was having a type of meeting? Ebony wasn't that preoccupied as to the "why"s, but of of "how"s. How Dumbledore had managed to have so much people come in and out of the castle without having the evil hag-from-hell, Umbridge, was quite the feat.

As the girls walked into the already loud common room, they saw that almost everyone was helping to decorate it.

"Oi! Get her out of here!...", exclaimed Fred. "...The room's not ready for the birthday girl, yet", finished George. George gave Ebony a wink and his lop-sided grin as he ushered her back out of the common room.

"Why can't I be in there?", she asked. George grinned, "You're the birthday girl, and its a secret. You weren't supposed to come up at all, because we wanted it to be a surprise...Guess that failed". Ebony rose an eyebrow, but before she could comment he was gone behind the portrait hole.

Jamie and Holly had stayed behind to help out in the common room, so Ebony was left with some time alone. She reckoned she should use this time to read the letter, but she didn't want to read inside the castle where anyone could see. After a while of pondering, she decided on the tree by the Great Lake.

When she looked around she noticed nothing, but a big shaggy dog wandering aimlessly near the brush. She ignored it, and sat in her favorite spot next to the tree. Ebony liked this spot and loved just leaning against the tree and watching the scenery and everything in it. Sometimes it was an out-of-body experience. It was as if sometimes she was an outsider looking in, instead of living it there too. It was a really odd feeling, and it was simply amazing. The dog lied down, almost as if he understood the mood Ebony was in perfectly. It was quite eerie, really.

"You like this spot too, huh?", she said absently to the dog. The dog almost seemed to understand her, but Ebony muttered to herself, "Of course you can't... you're a dog. Oh my goodness... I'm talking to a dog." She breathed deeply and loudly, "I'm going crazy..." Then, seeming to remember something, Ebony reached into the pocket in her cloak and pulled out the folded envelope.

Ebony unfolded it and set it down on her lap. She just sat there and stared at it for a couple minutes until the curiosity got the better of her. She closed her eyes and breathed deeply, while carefully tearing the top of the letter with her index finger. When she opened her eyes again and looked down at the letter in her hands, it opened reveal several pieces of parchment and some type of document. Ebony decided on reading the letter first. She kept a neutral face for most of the letter, but half-way through it and afterwards her face blanched and her mouth popped open with a little "pop". She almost started hyperventilating a couple times, and would only calm down after several minutes of breathing deeply and closing her eyes.

Ebony,

You know you are our lovely little daughter? I want you to remember this throughout the rest of the contents in this letter.

Both your father and I love you very,very much and we love you like the daughter you have become to us. You realize, after years of living with us and being a great daughter, that I hate lies and deceptions. You, more than anyone else, can understand my hate for lies especially when I have to be the one to tell them.

I've wanted to tell you for years, but we knew you were still much to young and would not be able to take in what we are about to tell you.

I don't know how to gently tell you, but I'm going to have to be blunt.

You, my darling, are adopted.

Dustan and I were unable to concieve for years. We tried everything, until we were given adoption as an option. When we entered the orphanage, we saw plenty of other children. All were lovely little dears, but you were the one to win over our hearts.

In just the hour we got to spend with you, you wrapped us around your little finger. You had just turned two. It was your second birthday in the orphange. The nurse, which took care of all of the children there, told us all she knew of why you were left in the orphanage. She couldn't tell us much, because she didn't know much.

She had been changing the diaper of another child on the night you arrived, and when she turned around she saw you in a bundle of blankets and a letter tucked inside right inside the door. There was a note tucked in next to the letter saying your name Ebony Black, and instructions that the letter should only be given to you and you only. Your real surname is indeed Black, but we couldn't find out who it could've belonged to. Black was a very common surname in muggle England. I enclosed the letter that rightfully belongs to you, and I wish you the best of luck in finding your parents and your past before us.

We understand if you are in pain, or if you hate us. You can hate us, scorn us, and never speak to us ever again and we will completely understand. It will break your our hearts, but we would never hold it against you.

No matter how old you get, finding out your parents aren't you biological parents cannot be easy.

You might think we are cowards for not telling you in person, and I feel like one. I had originally wanted to tell you face-to-face, but I don't think either of us could've handled it.

We, your father and I, just want you to know that we really do love you. You are our little darling daughter, our pride and joy. If we hadn't found you and fallen in love with you, we would never have found out the wonders and happiness you gain from parenthood.

You were the best daughter we could've asked for. Sure, like all children, you had terrible tantrums and had occasional slips in behavior. With you, we learned what it was like to be parents. Something we were unable to do for years...

Just please never forget how much we love you...

Ebony was already in tears by this point. Very confused and scared, she searched the contents of the other letter and the document. The document was proof of her adoption. It was all the legal stuff. Ebony was in a state of extreme shock. Things like this never happened to people. It only happened in cliched muggle soap operas, not in real life. She was still mulling over the contents of her real mother's letter when she noticed the dog scamper away and a pretty peppy red-head bound towards her.

"Ebony! It's time for...your... ...party", Ginny's words faltered as she took in Ebony's tear-streaked face still leaking bitter tears. "Are you okay?...Obviously not, you're crying...Do you want to talk about it? I'll listen", she asked. Ebony didn't say anything, but she didn't say no either, so Ginny sat down next to her.

"Its your birthday you shouldn't be crying on your birthday until you're in your late twenties" Ebony's lip turned upwards a little. She knew Ginny was trying to cheer her up and she really didn't want to be crying on her birthday.

They sat there in silence for a couple more minutes until Ebony finally croaked, "My parents aren't really my...real parents." Ginny didn't say anything, so she continued, "I'm adopted. My real name is Ebony freaking Black! I'm probably the daughter of the crazy mass-murderer that somehow broke out of Azkaban two years ago... I was left in an orphanage most likely right after I was born, because spent my first two birthdays in there!" With every word her voice rose and became more frantic. It sounded more like she was telling herself more than she was Ginny. Ebony herself was trying to figure out and organize all the new information in a way that made sense.

Ginny stayed oddly silent when Ebony mentioned Sirius Black.

"Did you not hear me? I'm illegitimate daughter of Sirius Black!", Ebony exclaimed not understanding Ginny's lack of response.

"Do you know this as a fact?", Ginny asked. Ebony all but threw the letter from her biological mother at Ginny. Ebony watched Ginny's reaction to the letter oddly. No doubt, there was shock, but also some type of curiosity. Ebony couldn't find out why, and she wasn't going to try to find out. She had enough problems on her plate without trying to figure out those of everyone else's. It wasn't being selfish, it was called having a hold on your own life.

If she couldn't even control her's how could she possibly keep up with everyone else's?

"Wow... So yeah... You're definitely Sirius Black's daughter. I have no idea who your mother could be..." Ginny looks at the letter again, "Its only signed with 'Love, Athena'... That's all the information on her..."

Nearby, the big black dog was sitting stiffly under all the brush near the tree. It hadn't needed to be too close, but it still heard the conversation perfectly clear. It climbed out of its hiding spot and walked with a trot towards the girls. Ebony's face visibly brightened at the sight of the dog, while Ginny slightly blanched. Ginny gave the dog an alarmed look while Ebony was preoccupied petting it. Sirius, in dog form, was more carefree. He heard the shocking conversation, and he knew that whomever this girl was, she needed cheering up. It must've been a great nasty shock finding out she was adopted and the biological daughter of an alleged "mass-murderer".

"What a sweet dog", Ebony said with a slight smile. She had always loved dogs for as long as she could remember. She had been greatly disappointed when they were not allowed to bring a dog as their pet to Hogwarts. "I wonder how it got here..", she wondered aloud.

"That's exactly what I'm wondering too", said Ginny with a slightly cold and steely voice. The dog rolled one eye, and wagged his tail even more enthusiastically.

"You really like dogs don't you?", Ginny asked. Ebony's face brightened a tad bit from her gloomy one, "Yeah. I've always loved dogs more than any other animal. Cats are okay, but they get mad at you too easily for everything..."

They sat there for a few more minutes until the dog finally scampered away and Giny turned to Ebony, "You know... you don't have to stress yourself or force yourself to go to the party. I can just tell everyone that I couldn't find you..." Ebony looked up in surprise from her hands, "No! I have to go. You all spent all morning preparing this for me and I will go to it. I'll just have to bottle up everything for the time being..."

Ginny looked mutinous, so Ebony wiped at her face and started to back towards the castle.

"Fine... At least wash your face, though", Ginny said. Ebony walked up to the bank and leaned in close to the water, pulling her hair back as she dunked her face in it. The icy-cold water excited her senses and thoroughly woke her up. She took her face out of the water again and dried it off with her robe's shoulder.

"Let's go... My party is waiting", Ebony said breezily. She was still devastated and slightly horrified about what she had learned about herself, but she couldn't let it ruin her birthday. Ebony had the whole way from the Great Lake to the Gryffindor common room to mentally prepare herself for she would find in it.

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY, EBBY!", a very excited and loud Jamie yelled. Ebony put on a bright smile and laughed along with everyone else. Jamie, Holly, and a large amount of other people of whom Ebony wasn't quite sure she knew enveloped her into a group hug. "Haha. Thanks, everyone," George grinned, "Only two more years to be legal with muggles and one for our world. You excited?"

"Legal for what?", when realization hit her she gasped and her eyes widened. George guffawed and pulled her into a hug, "It was a joke..."

She playfully smacked his arm and giggled. If anything could successfully distract her from her woes it was George Weasley. Possibly the only person in her world that could do it so easily.

They stood there in a nice embrace for what seemed like ages to them until Ginny hastily pulled Ebony out. George shrugged and turned back to his friends while Ebony followed Ginny to a secluded corner.

Ginny began, "Okay, I don't want to be a kill-joy and ruin moods, but its about Sirius..." Right then Michael interrupted her by choosing that precise moment to pull her into a tight embrace full with snogging and dancing. Ebony was curious as to what Ginny had to say, but she really didn't want to think about her problems right now. If only there was some firewhiskey or muggle vodka...

xXXXxxXXXxxXXXxxXXXx

"George, do something!", Ginny screeched. She was holding a very drunk Ebony in her arms, trying to keep her from stripping in public. "W-What do I do?", George stammered. He was used to drunk people, but a drunk Ebony was just plain odd. Unheard of.

"WHO GAVE HER THE BOOZE?", thundered out an equally wasted Jamie. Ironic how she herself was drunk beyond imagination, but there she was trying to find out who got her friend in the slightly worse state. George helped Ginny pin Ebony's arms down to her sides while someone went to go get her some water. Luckily, the only people left in the room were close friends, or things could've gotten messy. By the time Holly came back with a water bottle, Ebony wasn't struggling with George and Ginny. She was staring dejectedly at the ceiling, "Haha...hic!... I'm drunk...", hiccuping and going into a violent fit of the giggles. Then out of nowhere she stopped laughing and looked almost sober, "You know... maybe I should find out I'm adopted and the biological daughter of a known mas-murderer more often... being drunk is...hic...fun...". With that she closed her eyes and fell asleep.

Everyone in the room were at a loss for words, well, all except Ginny. Jamie was knocked out, so of Ebony's friends, only Holly was really shocked. She had no idea what Ebony could've meant and it bugged her to no end.

"What... the hell?", Holly said. George let go of Ebony's arms and him, Fred, Ginny, and the Golden Trio exchanged odd glances.

"Holly, we're just as confused," George said with a pointed look at Ginny's guilty expression. "What?", Ginny said. George shrugged and turned back to Ebony, "So what do we do? We can't just leave her here..."

Ginny kneeled next to Ebony and with the help of George lifted her up onto the couch. "We'll have to leave her down here sleeping on the couch along with Jamie. It will be easier than trying to pull them up the staircase, so we will bring down a couple blankets and pillows for them." As if on cue, Holly bounded down the staircase steps with two blankets and two small pillows. She had gone up as soon as George wondered what they would do about Ebony.

"You seem to be used to this kind of thing...", a previously silent Harry said. Holly started at being addressed and then said, "Uh...Well yeah. Jamie is pretty uncontrollable sometimes, and something like this kind of is common to us now. How she manages with hangovers is beyond me, though" Harry nodded and continued to stare curiously at Ebony.

Could Ebony really be Sirius's daughter?, he thought to himself. Harry was already thoroughly confused, and thinking about this made everything much worse.

"You guys should go to bed... It's already really late", Ginny said to everyone else.

The boys said their "goodbye"s and "goodnight"s and headed up the boy's staircase while Hermione went up the girl's. Ginny and Holly stayed back for a couple more minutes preparing the makeshift beds for the two passed-out girls and then followed suit and went upstairs and to bed.

Everyone was too exhausted to talk about what had happened recently. Hell, everyone was too exhausted to even think about it.

Whatever consequences, good or bad that Ebony's outburst earned, would be found out the next morning when people could think clearly.
