P.S.: There is a side story after this

(*Updated)

December has finally rolled in, making it so that she was done with detention, as well as more studying coming in. Hermione was somehow managing all of these classes while Ron was trying to cheer Harry up about Hogsmeade and about his broken broomstick. It was finally the weekend as students went out to go to Hogsmeade while Serenity stayed at the school. Harry was nowhere to be scene as Serenity played with Valiant outside in the snow. She wore her black skinny jeans with some simple black snow boots with a white snow jacket to keep the cold out, while having her hair up in a pony tail. She was making a small snowman until she felt some snow go down her jacket, making her jump.

"Ah! cold cold COLD!" She yelps as she turned to see the twin laughing away.

"Ugh...You guys!" She runs after them tossing snowballs, creating a small snowball fight with Valiant on her side, tripping the boys.

"Hey hey! We-"

"-Surrender!" The boys laughed as they laid in the snow.

After the snowfight they all relaxed and the twins started to help Serenity with her snowman again. Of course since she was shorter than them, they had to put the head on. Fred ruffled her hair as George placed on his scarf on the snowman. They were all finishing the last bit until they noticed footsteps on the snow. Even Valiant, who was snoozing close by, perked his head up to see the strange steps.

The boys creeped up to the steps and grabbed onto the thing.

"Guys, let me go!"

"Clever, Harry-"

"-But not clever enough." Fred Replied.

"I'm trying to get to Hogsmeade."

"We know." They both replied as they dragged him.

"We'll show you a quicker way-"

"-lf you pipe down."

Serenity muses as she heard Harry grumbling. She was never tired of the twins finishing each other sentences as she looked at both of them.

"Now, Harry-"

"-Come and join the big boys."

Serenity saw them drag him to the stairs and sat him down, moving away the cloak. They handed him a piece of parchment as Serenity looked to see what it was.

"What's this rubbish?" Harry replied as the twins smirked.

"'What's this rubbish?' he says." Fred grinned like a cat.

"It's the secret to our success."

"It's a wrench giving it to you..."

"But we've decided your needs are greater than , if you will." Fred looked at George as George took out his wand and pointed it at the parchment.

"I solemnly swear that I am up to no good." Slowly words appeared on the parchment, looking like a map of some sort as Harry slowly spoke out the words.

"Messrs. Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot and Prongs are proud to present the Marauder's Map."

"We owe them so much."

"Hang on. This is Hogwarts. And that...No. Is that really...?" Harry peered as Serenity came close to see what he was looking at which was Dumbledore.

"Dumbledore-"

"-In his study-"

"-Pacing."

"So this map shows...?" Harry commented as the twins easily finished for him.

"Everyone. Where they are."

"-What they're doing."

"Every minute."

"Every day."

"Brilliant! Where did you get it?" Serenity asked as she peered at the parchment as Harry looked at the twins for their reply.

"From Filch's office." Serenity rolled her eyes.

"There are seven secret passageways out of the castle." Fred showed, as they both pointed one route to Harry, saying at the same time.

"We'd recommend this one."

"The One-Eyed Witch passageway."

"Leads you to Honeydukes." George replied.

"Hurry. Filch is heading this way." Fred replied as he spotted Filch.

"And don't forget. When you're done,"Mischief managed." Otherwise, anyone can read it." George said.

Harry nodded as he hid the parchment and right as he tried to leave Serenity grabbed his arm.

"Take me with you!"

"What?"

Serenity looked at Fred and George as they both grinned at her as they whistled back out. They heard footsteps as Harry grabbed Serenity to make a run for it.

"Fine lets go!" Harry urged as they both ran out through the passageway. They ran deep through the hidden passageway, enough to get away from Mr. Filch. They both slowed down to an easy walk as they started to talk.

"How are you feeling?" Serenity asked, remembering Harry's accident.

"I'm good as new now but..."

"Your broom is broken." Serenity finished for him as Harry looked back at her and gave a grimace. It was an awkward silence for a few moment until Harry asked,

"How about you?"

Serenity looked at him and gave a smile.

"What about me?"

"...That you're covering up something up, it may fool others but I can tell. What's up."

Serenity stopped to stare at Harry as her gentle smile faded. Harry took her hand and said,

"You can tell me anything..."

"Harry...It's nothing really."

"Serenity."

"It's...getting hard here."

"What do you mean?"

"I...I feel like I can't do as much in Hogwarts that what I can do in the real world." Serenity said as Harry looked at her peculiarly.

"Serenity? I know you've been spacing out a lot these days but why don't you want to stay in Hogwarts? Are you...Not happy here? Do you want to go back to Beauxbatons?"

"N-No! That's not it...I just want to do more..." Harry gave a her a pat on the shoulder as they continued to walk.

"You are doing something, by just being here."

Serenity smiles at him as she leaned into him a bit.

"Thanks..."

They continued to their destination and made it at the basement of Honeydukes. Harry placed his invisibility cloak over them as they sneaked out of the basement to the shop. Serenity looked around with wide eyes and elbowed Harry for taking Neville's lollipop. When they came out Serenity changed into her wolf form and slid out from under the invisibility cloak, trotting around happily next to Harry. They quietly made it to the forest to hear voices. They slowly noticed Draco with his friends teasing Hermione and Ron. Before Serenity could say anything, well bark, Harry threw a snowball while in his invisibility cloak.

Serenity couldn't help but snicker as she saw the footsteps go towards them, knowing it was Harry messing with the boys. As soon as they ran Harry messed with Ron and Hermione, but Hermione knew what was going on. Harry took off his cloak as they laughed as Serenity barked at them.

"Oh come down here already!" Harry bellowed to her as she trotted down to meet them, changing back to her human form. Hermione ran to her, giving a big hug.

"Serenity!"

"Hey Hermione. Hey Ron." Ron gave Serenity a hug next as the four of them walked back to town. Harry stayed hidden in his invisibility cloak while Serenity stayed as a wolf. As they walked they saw Madam Rosmerta fixing the sign of her pub as a carriage came in. Professor Mcgonagall came out with someone Serenity didn't know. Suddenly Serenity and her friends heard them say something about Harry and Harry ran into the pub after them. Hermione and Ron tried to rush in but the strange hearts scolded them. Instead they waited outside as Hermione gently pet Serenity's head. Serenity gave out a little whimper.

"What is taking him so lo-"

"Hermione!"

They all turned to see footprints rush out of the pub, pushing away a ground of carolers. They raced after Harry back to the place in front of the shrieking shack gates. they all heard little sobs as they all approached. Hermione gently took off the invisibility cloak as they saw Harry's face. He was sobbing. Serenity changed back as she asked softly,

"Harry?"

"He was their friend... And he betrayed them... HE WAS THEIR FRIEND! I hope he finds me. 'Cause when he does, I'm gonna be ready! When he does, I'm gonna kill him!"

Hermione gently hugged Harry as Ron patted his friend on the shoulder. Serenity couldn't say anything as she felt the words were stuck in her throat as she gently touched his hand. With that touch she saw what he saw, a movie of a past vision as she heard everything they said in the room. She didn't say anything just let time pass. When Harry was calm, the group was about to leave but Serenity looked at them and said,

"You guys go on ahead. I can take one of the hidden routes back...I want to stay here and think."

"Serenity I don't think that's such a good idea." Hermione said but Harry stared at Serenity for a long time.

"...Are you sure?" He asked quietly as Serenity gave a small nod.

"Well...Lets go you guys. Serenity knows what she's doing and could easily defend herself. We'll see ya back in the castle." She gave her friends all a good hug as she sat on the stone looking out at the shack, listening to their footsteps. When they left she changed back into a wolf and took a quick sprint. She jumped over the gate and trotted down to the shack, glancing back to make sure no one saw her. She walked to the entrance as she poked her head against it, making it creak open. She shivered as she entered inside, looking around as she gave a little howl. She sniffed the air and caught a scent. She made her way upstairs, making sure she didn't fall through one of the rotten steps. She made it to a bedroom and slowly walked in until she heard the door behind her move. She turned around and crouched in an attack position to find Sirius with his hands up in the air.

"Woah! Easy there girl."

She gave a little playful bark as she relaxed. She quickly changed back and gave a little pout.

"Geez you gave me a fright!"

"I gave you a freight? I? You were the one about to bite me."

"Sorry about that, just this place gives me the creeps."

"I can't blame ya. Dumbledore set this place up for Remus, but he did put quite a convincing rumor of this place being haunted."

"Well yea- wait this place isn't haunted?"

"Of course not, why would you believe that?" He smiled but Serenity crossed her arms.

"Sirius."

"...Fine you caught me. Dumbledore made this for Re-"

"Sirius!" Serenity heard a voice as she quickly turned to see movement by the door. She whipped out her wand,

"Expelliarmus!"

The stranger's wand flew out and landed close my Sirius as she looked to see Lupin at the door with his hands up.

"Easy there...Serenity?"

"Unc-. I mean Professor Lupin?"

"What on earth are you doing here child?"

"Meeting me." Sirius said as he handed Professor Lupin his wand back. Remus looked back at Serenity and Sirius.

"What on earth is going on here? Serenity this man is a criminal! Run back to the castle quickl-"

"Oh hush Remus, she knows everything. She is actually helping me, helping us."

Remus stared at Serenity, almost flabbergasted as he quickly ran up to Sirius, grabbing the man by his collar.

"Are you insane! How could you bring her into this? And of all people why her?! How on earth is she going to help us when we can't even do anything! WHAT WERE YOU THINKING SIRIUS?!" Remus yelled as Serenity ran over and grabbed his waist, trying to pull him back.

"Stop! STOP IT!" She yelled back at him as she pulled him away just a bit for Sirius to back up a bit. Remus huffed as he straightened up while Serenity pushed him back.

"Take it easy Professor." She tried to calm him but the Professor stared at Sirius.

"How long have you known... How long have you known who she was! Did you look for her like you tried to look for Harry in the castle?! You dragged your own niece into your own misery!"

"...What in bloody hell are you talking about Remus?!" Sirius stared at him and back at Serenity. Serenity felt frozen to the bone as she stood there between both men. Her eyes slowly looked up at the Professors as she felt as if someone dumped a bucket of ice cold water on her face, pure shock.

"...What did you just say...I have no niece Remus. My brother died and his wi-" Sirius stopped as both men stared at each other. Suddenly Remus looked back at Serenity as the surprize filled his face for a moment.

"You didn't know yet..." Remus turned to look at Serenity as he reached out to touch the girl as she jumped back.

"...Niece?" Serenity slowly backed up to the door as Sirius even tried to approach her.

"My...niece..."

Serenity shook her head as she couldn't believe what she was hearing. Shock filled her as she could do the only thing she could...Run. She quickly ran down the stairs, hearing both men yell after her but she sprinted her way out of the shack. She made it to the small little town as she saw only a few Hogwarts students still out and about. She tried to look calm and go in quickly as she went inside Honeyduke's. She glanced around as she snuck down the hidden passage and ran back to school. She made it back and came out through the hidden passage, running out to the hallway as she made a sharp turn and bumped into someone.

"What on ear- Aragon!"

She glanced up to see Professor Snape, as she quickly turned and ran past him, wiping her tears with her sleeves as she ran to Dumbledore's office. She glared at the gargoyle and hissed,

"Lemon drops."

The statue turned to let her enter as she stormed in to see Dumbledore pacing in his study as he turned with a smile, extending his arms out as welcome.

"Ah Serenity, what brings you her-"

"...Niece..."

Dumbledore stared at her as the amusement in his eyes dimmed a bit.

"Excuse me?"

"I'm his niece..." She yelled.

Dumbledore lowered his arms as his expression changed and his mouth turned into a grimace. Serenity could feel another tear roll down her cheeks as it felt like it was burning her skin.

"...So you've found out the truth."

Serenity's eyes widen as she stared at the elder wizard as she felt weak to her legs. She stumbled a bit as he motioned her to sit as he walked around to his seat behind his desk.

"Yes...He is your uncle"

"...I have an uncle...A real uncle...and he's right now wanted man…What…W-who…Please tell me the true…"

"What my dear?"

"…W-who are my real parents?"

She never tried to ponder about her parents, because all she felt was the pain. She just hoped to be a daughter that would make her parents proud and that was all. Dumbledore stared at her for a while as slowly took out a letter from his desk and hands it to her.

"Your mother told me to give this to you during the right time...I do not possess the gift like you do and decided to wait but now you have found out…"

She looked down at the letter. It was old as it had elegant writing that said,

Serenity Alice Aragon, Beloved Daughter.

She slowly opened the letter and read two pages of words to herself.

My dear daughter Serenity,

My sweet girl, if you are reading this that means your father and I are no longer around to see you grow and blossom. I have entrusted this letter to Dumbledore, knowing that you will be attending his school...Serenity, I wish I could tell you everything but it's a bit difficult where to start.

To start from the beginning, I am not a pureblood wizard, my parents were muggles. My older sister Lily, your Aunt Lily Potter, and I were wizard while our eldest sister remained a muggle. I, however, was a Beauxbaton girl and during the tri-wizard tournament is when I meet your father at Hogwarts. His name was Jonathan Aragon. It was love at first sight. When we both graduated, we married and worked secretly for the Order of the Phoenix. I worked using my gift as a seer and your father had a talent with defense against the dark arts and potions, and easily used the most of his talents. Together we would go out and defend and protect those from You Know Who with friends and family in the Order.

Later on, though we were still fighting on, there was a little gift. It was the day I found out I was pregnant with you. It was the happiest news ever for your father and I. You are the greatest gift that your father and I have ever received. Though you were just a baby, both your father and I could tell what a gentle child you were. Just holding you as you slept made us realize, what our love combined has created a beautiful bundle of happiness.

Honey I love you so much, and I hope you will become what I saw in my visions. You will become a great light for those around you. Also...This road you will journey on will be long and hard but be careful of those who seem innocent and those of evil. Even the most cowardly of witches and wizards can take a toll on a life. I love you my dear sweet Serenity, and though you may feel as if we're gone, we never truly left. We'll be with you til the end, always in your heart.

Love,

Amelia Diane Aragon

Dear Serenity,

My child...It was difficult for your mother to write her letter to you but I feel as if it's even harder on me. I see you in arms yet I write a letter to you because I know I will not live very long. Right now as you read this that means your mother and I are gone from the world...Right now we are in the stars watching over you always. Though things may seem very hard now, persevere to gain a better future.

Serenity...You look so much like your mother and a few bits like me. When you were a baby, I was right there when you opened your eyes and you had your mother's eyes. But your mother believes you have my features. It doesn't matter because we were blessed to have a beautiful child like you, a gentle soul. You mother even had a vision of what you would look like in the future and said to me, " Be careful dear, our little girl is going to be quite a beauty." That's when I joked of course and told your mother, "Remind me to always keep my wand at hand."

However, there is something important I must tell you in this letter. Your mother told you of our how we met and fell in love, and a bit of her family...I'm however not in that case. To say crudely...I am the bastard son of Orion Black. Though I'm not proud to admit that in the end I didn't gain a family there but made one of my own with your mother, friends, and with you. Later on I even gained a brother who found out who I was and he is your uncle, Sirius Black. You Godparents are Aine Tsukimi and Remus Lupin...You will not be alone when we are gone. Your mother told me you find a family of your own just like I did and for that I'm proud of you.

My little girl...My sweet daughter, you may feel alone in the world. You may feel as if it is difficult not having parents, and I understand that. I actually grew up in an orphanage before coming to Hogwarts and I will say the friends you make will become your family, and later on what you find the love of your life you'll make a family of your own...I'm sorry i couldn't say much but Professor Dumbledore will try to explain more as he will give you something as well. You are our sweet little noble, the serene soldier that will calm the hearts of others while doing what it right, make us proud my dear. We love you dear, and we'll always be with you, watching from the stars...And when the day comes I hope we will be reunited as well in the night sky.

Your Father,

Jonathan Black Aragon.

She couldn't stop the tears flowing down her cheeks as she tried to keep the letters away, to preserve them and make sure the tears won't smudge the words. She tried to wipe her tears as she looked to see Dumbledore look at her.

"So the Orphanage I was placed…"

"The same one your father went to."

He slowly stood up and walked to the back of his office to retrieve what it looks to be a brown leather trunk. He rolled it over next to her as there was a tag that said, "To Serenity."

"I think it would be best to open this privately."

She slowly stood up as she felt him gently pat her shoulder. She took the trunk and rolled it out, walking slowly. She didn't want to go to her room, because she might see her friends and they might question a few things. Instead she wandered to the Room of Requirements. She took a turn and glanced to see no one around. She stood in front of the wall as she silently whispered in her head the room. Slowly the door appeared as she opened it to find her little safe haven. She entered inside and closed the door. She slowly looked back at the truck and slowly sat on the floor close by the fire as she unclipped one of the buckles on the side. Then the second one as she slowly opened it, gasping.

It contained a few article of clothing, boxes, and books. She picked up the clothes first, to find a knitted sweater, cardigan, and a cashmere scarf. She tilted her head in a bit of confusion as she slowly look over at the books. One was a photo album as she opened it up to look inside of it.

There were images of her mother and father, carefully placed in chronological order. That's when she saw the sweater in one of her mother's picture, and the cardigan and scarf is what her father wore in another. Later she saw her mother would wear his cardigan and scarf quite a bit, making her sadly chuckle to herself. She looked through from pictures of them young as children to when they first had Serenity as a baby. But she kept going back to the day of their wedding.

Her mother wore a gorgeous wedding dress as her father wore a dashing gown. There were pictures of family and friends around. The maid of honor looked like Harry's mother, while the best man was Sirius. Under each picture were commentaries from her parents as the pictures were enchanted to move as well as she saw them smile and dance during their wedding. She couldn't help but stare at them, seeing the love and happiness in their eyes. She slowly placed the photo album down as she looked at the two other books. One was written by her mother and the other by her father.

In her mother's book contained spells she created, how to connect with her skills as a seer and even a few things on cooking, and sewing. Serenity smiled as she thought to herself,

Mom...You really did think of everything...

She glanced back at her fathers and glanced through through the pages to find combat spells, potions, and even alchemy. There were even commentaries in this like the photo albums for a few spells like, "Use this if a guy gets too close!" It made her laugh but she felt lost for a moment in time. She felt like she was really connected with her parents, seeing their words in these diaries...these books that they poured their hearts into for her. She gently placed them down to look at a simple white box. It was a little big but she slowly opened the lid and sucked in a breath to see what it was...

It was her mother's wedding gown. It was pure elegant white dress. The top was intricately sewn with soft lace and gorgeous freshwater pearls on the neckline, then rest was lace on the sleeves with an open back. Her hand gently caressed the delicate fabric of the skirt. The top layer was soft elegant lace but under were sheer layers of pearlescent fabric that felt like the smoothest piece of silk or satin, cool to the touch. She held the dress up to see it and it reminded her as if it came from the ocean, as it flowed so nicely like the ocean waves. She remembers how beautiful her mother looked in her gown, looking elegant yet serene. She slowly placed it back in the box before opening the next one.

It was a smooth, polished, wooden box and as she slowly opened it she realized it was a jewelry box. It had a few necklaces and bracelets. Some with precious jewels but others were simple leather straps with something small like a little metal star. There were even a few cufflinks and watches as she suspected was her father's. She was touched as she slowly closed the box. She couldn't believe that her parents did all this for her as she slowly looked at the last box.

It was the smallest box out of all but it was black. It was smooth with abalone shells engraved in it to look like the moon and sun, a yin and yang fashion. Her hands shook a bit as she opened it and tears rushed down her face. In it was red velvet cushions but on top of it was...was...

The rings...

It was her mother's and father's wedding rights as she noticed there was a note on top. She quickly took it out to read it.

Dear daughter,

You may wonder why we gave you our rings. We want you to keep them and give my ring to the man you're going to marry someday. Your mother was always the sun to my day, while I was her moon to her nights. We are each other's lights and hope that you will find someone who will do the same for you. We love you baby girl and hope you will find your destined one as well.

From,

Your Mother and Father

They were simple bands of what it looked to be white gold. Her mothers was simple as the thin band looked like vines as white gold leaves surrounded one diamond. Her father's was a thicker band with a matte feel in the middle part of the ring with a single diamond. They were simple but looked eternal at the same time. She slowly picked up her mother's and cried. She put the ring on her middle finger and it felt like it could almost fit, but it would take Serenity a few more years. She slipped it off but realized there was something behind the diamond inside the ring.

Serenity held it up to her eye to see it was the ring itself with a shape of the sun on it. She slipped the finger on her middle finger again and pressed it on. Then she took it out to realize the ring made the shape of the sun on her skin. She looked at her fathers to find the same thing but instead of the sun it was the moon.

"Your mother was always the sun to my day, while I was her moon to her nights..."

She slowly placed them back inside as she sat there crying to the point that she couldn't cry anymore. The tears were all gone and her body felt weak with dehydration. Her parents gave her all this, to keep their memories alive...To keep them alive in her heart. She couldn't believe it as a thought in her head. As she kept looking through the trunk a letter came out. It was addressed to Sirius.

...Sirius is my uncle...Lily Potter is my aunt...That would make Harry my...

She hunched over and laid on the ground in fetal position as she felt as if she had uncover the greatest mystery and could possibly heal the hearts of many...Or cause more harm than good.
