Samantha's Pov
Willow, Violet and Callie came running and tripping over themselves down the stairs. James and Lily had their hands over their ears and then suddenly James had his wand pointed at me.
"What the hell, Sam?!" Willow exclaimed. I didn't look away from the couple, and my eyes widen a little less. Violet pushed pass me and her moth dropped wide open. Padfoot started growling.
"Oh shit!" Willow said.
"Where are we? Who are you girls? And where's Harry?" James demanded.
"Oh god what do we do? Should we call Mum?" Callie said breathing heavily.
"Answer me!" James exclaimed. Padfoot was growling now and was barking rapidly. The Lily put a hand on James's arm.
"James honey calm down." She soothed. He relaxed a little and she moved towards me. Padfoot barked and ran towards James. I turned my attention to Lily.
"Hello, I'm Lily Potter and this is my husband James." She said and smiled warmly.
"I know." I said. The girls nodded.
"Well it seems you know us but we don't know you." Lily said.
"Oh I'm Samantha. This is Willow, Violet and Callie and my new dog Padfoot." I point out the each of us as I said them and Padfoot, who was jumping around James barking his tail off. James was laughing at him.
"You're Samantha? As in Samantha Black the daughter of Sirius Black, the one year old?" Lily asked suspicion was in her green eyes.
"Yeah but I'm 13 now. Why don't we go upstairs and talk about it." I said. Callie elbowed me in the ribs and shot me a look.
"What their family?!" I replied. She stuck her tongue out at me.
"Very childish, Cal." I said.
"Sure. James?" Lily said and turned to James. He nodded.
"Follow me." I said. We all headed up stairs and sat at the kitchen table.
"Go call Mum or Aunt Riley." I whispered to Callie. She went to the living room. James looked at me and raised an eyebrow. I ignored him.
"Well I should tell you I don't know everything but I'll try to explain it the best I can since Mum and Aunt Riley don't like to talk about it." I said they nodded.
"Well Voldemort found you, thanks to the traitor Pettigrew. You Aunt Lily ran upstairs with Harry and you Uncle James were trying to hold him off while my Mum did the spell and got hit with the killing curse but Mum had already finished the spell so you went into a coma. Aunt Lily you were protecting Harry and got hit by the curse also and went into a coma like Uncle James. Voldemort tried to kill Harry also but the curse rebounded or something and Voldemort disappeared. Mum did as she promised. My Dad though didn't know about the promise so he went after Pettigrew. He was sent to Azkaban for your 'death' as people think. Till last night when he became the first person ever to break out of Azkaban, I haven't talked to him or seen him but back to the point. You didn't wake up till today which is twelve years later. Harry was taken to live with your sister Aunt Lily and her husband. I think that's about it."
They stared at me.
"Harry's with her horrid sister, and her walrus of a husband?! No offense Lilyflower." James yelled. Lily put her head in her hands and mumbled, "None taken."
"And Sirius you went to Azkaban!" James exclaimed. I looked at him.
"Uncle James he isn't here." Callie said. Wait when did she come back in? Oh well.
"Yeah he is." James said.
"You girls don't know?" Lily asked. She looked up from her hands and looked at us. I shook my head.
"Stupidest, idiotic thing a person could do…" The door opened. Aunt Riley stormed in muttering under her breath. She froze when she saw us. She looked from Padfoot to Lily and James to us.
"This day just gets better and better." She said and rubbed her forehead.
"Riley?" Lily asked. Aunt Riley nodded.
"What don't we know?" I demanded. The three adults looked at me. Aunt Riley looked at Lily and James.
"What did you tell them?" She asked.
"You didn't tell them Sirius is an animagus?" James asked.
"A what now?" I asked looking at everyone. I saw Callie pale.
"An animagus is a wizard who can transform into an animal. The magic required is quite complex, and it can go badly if the wizard is not experienced enough to handle the transformation. While in animal form, the animagus retains many human abilities, but also becomes more animal like. You're supposed to resister to become one." She said.
"Which your father and James didn't do, and I'll bet that's how he got out of Azkaban." I heard a voice say quietly behind me behind me. I turned to see my Mum standing behind me arms crossed.
"Hello Lily, James it's great to see you're awake." She said. I looked away from her and at scruffy black dog and realized that it looked exactly like my stuffed dog sitting on my bed. My eyes widen.
"You mean Padfoot is Dad?" I asked stunned. Mum nodded.
"I find it funny you named him Padfoot." Uncle James chuckled, "How did you ever pick it?"
"I um…read it in the scrapbook." I muttered. Hoping Mum won't yell at me.
"You mean the scrapbook in my bedroom, in the drawer you know you're not allowed to open." Mum said sternly and raised an eyebrow.
"Yeah." I mumbled.
"Ha, nosey just like Sirius." Aunt Lily said.
"You should hear how much trouble she gets into at school." Willow said.
"And you don't help her?" Aunt Riley said. Willow just smiled and shrugged. Dad barked. Huh that sounded weird.
"Come on Sirius. I'll get you cleaned up and we need to talk." Mum said. She left the room with dog form Dad.
"So Harry is with Petunia?" Lily asked. Aunt Riley nodded.
"Yes, Charlie and I tried everything to get him but Albus wouldn't have it." She replied, "Well I'm going to write Albus about you both and Sirius." She left the room.
Everyone was lost in their own thoughts so it was one of the rare moments that the Black house was quiet. For the last hour my father was right next to me. I even talked to him! Sure he was a dog but it was my first ever one sided conversation I've ever had with him. Oh god he heard all my inner most thoughts! Well said aloud anyway.
"Um well girls do you mind telling us about Harry? Like does he know about us being in a coma? What house is he in? Does he play-"James was cut off by Lily hitting him over the head.
"Let the poor girls speak." She said and smiled at me.
"It's alright." Callie said. I was glad to talk about something.
"To answer your first question no he doesn't know. The second answer would be Gryffindor." Willow said. James smiled.
"Does he play Quiddicth?" He asked.
"He's the seeker of Gryffindor." Violet answered.
"He started playing since first year. Which technically isn't aloud, but Professor McGonagall put him on the team. I remember how the idiot caught the snitch in his mouth." I said and laughed a small laugh. James had the biggest smile on his face.
"Enough with the talk of Quiddicth, how are his grades and classes?" Lily asked.
"I won't really know, since we aren't exactly friends." I answered truthfully, hoping they don't ask why. Lily's eyebrows frowned.
"Why not?" James asked.
"Well we don't get along very we'll let's just leave it at that." I said. Yep, should have kept my mouth shut.
"Which is odd because you and Hermione get along just fine." Callie teased. I stuck my tongue out at her.
"Now look at who's being childish." She said. I glared at her and she rolled her eyes.
"Who's Hermione? " Lily asked.
"She one of Harry's friends and also Sammy's. I really don't know how she can be both." Violet said. I turned my glare to her.
"He's not that bad at potions considering Professor Snape teaches it. He's awesome at Defense against the Dark Arts and the rest well he's good at." Willow replied getting the attention off me.
"Snivelly is teaching?! What has the world come to?!" James exclaimed dramatically. Lily rolled her eyes and hit him upside the head again. I laughed.
"Yeah, he hates Callie, Harry, Willow and I. He puts up with Violet, only a little though for some unknown reason." I said shooting Violet a look. She held up her hands defensively.
"What House are you girls in?" Lily asked.
"Gryffindor, of course!" Willow exclaimed.
"All of you are?" James asked. We all nodded.
"I feel bad for Minnie having all the Marauders kids in her house." He laughed.
"You're lucky she can't put you in detention anymore every time you call her that." Lily said. I smiled. Then there was a tap on the window. Violet opened the window and the owl swooped in and landed in front of me. I smiled when I recognized the owl. I grabbed the letter and the owl flew off. I ripped it open.
Dear, Sammy
When are you going to Diagon Ally? I'm leaving France tomorrow and I was wondering if we could get our books and supplies together .Harry and Ron will be there but Harry told me he'd try to be civilized if you do also. He's staying at the Leaky Cauldron since he ran away from home.
Apparently his Aunt Marge made him angry (something about insulting his Mum and Dad) and he used accidental magic on her. She started blowing up like a balloon and started floating away. And probably to your disappointment he is not getting expelled for it. Thank goodness.
So please and try to act civilized if you can come. It's hard to keep you both from ripping each other's heads off, all the time. Willow, Violet and Callie are welcome to come also. Owl me with your answer soon. I'll be staying at the Leaky Cauldron with the Weasleys and Harry till school starts. Hope you're having a great end to your summer!
Sincerely, Hermione.
"Try to be civil? I'm always civil. He starts it!" I exclaimed dramatically. Willow grabbed the letter out of my hand and read it. Violet and Callie read it over her shoulder. I was relieved that she didn't mention Dad in the letter.
"Way to go Harry!"Willow yelled.
"I hate to break it to you Sam but you both take turns starting it." Violet said and put a hand on my shoulder.
"I know but he starts it more often than I do." I said. She rolled her eyes.
"What happened?" Lily asked.
"Well it seems Harry got made and blew up his Aunt Marge up like a balloon and she started to float away and Harry ran away from home." Callie answered. James started laughing his head off and Lily looked like she was torn of finding it funny or if she was supposed to be furious.
"I want to go and hear about it." Willow said, "And all the funny details."
"I'll go because I want to see Hermione and that's the only reason." I said.
"I'll back you up I want to see my son." James replied regaining his breath from laughing.
"MUM!" Willow and I yelled at the same time and kept yelling till Riley came in rubbing her ears irritated.
"Charlie is busy with a potion so you'll have to talk to me and what have I told you about you yelling in the house?" She said hands on her hips.
"You told us not to. Sorry, Mum but it's really important" Willow answered.
Aunt Riley sighed and asked, "What is it?"
"Samantha got a letter from Hermione and she wants us to meet up with her at Diagon Ally. Harry and Ron are going to be there and I want to hear how Harry blew up his Aunt. Can we please go?" Willow begged and gave her the puppy eyes.
"Wait Harry blew up his Aunt?" Aunt Riley asked.
"Long story, Riles." Lily said.
Riley sighed again and thought for a moment.
"I don't see the harm." She finally said. Well Harry and I could hex each other to death or rip each other's heads off as Hermione put it. Yeah, no harm there, but I'll let that slide and be excited to see Hermione.
"Yes!" We cheered including Lily and James.
"Except you guys." Aunt Riley said and pointed to Lily and James.
"What why?" James asked pouting, "He's our son and I haven't seen him in twelve years and he thinks we're dead!"
"Exactly! How would you react to your 'dead parents' walking up to you in Diagon Ally?" Aunt Riley said.
"She has a point James." Lily said quietly. James sighed and nodded.
"Alright. I'll write Hermione." I said a little disappointed that I wouldn't get to see Harry's reaction to meeting his 'dead parents' It would have made my day. I take that back it's a little mean. I left the room and headed to my bedroom to write Hermione when I ran into someone in the hallway.
"Oh, sorry." I said as I took a step back and gray eyes meet gray eyes.
"It's alright." He said. He looked exactly how he did in the photo in the scrapbook and just how I imagined him to be. He looked nervous. It was silent for a moment then I pushed my brown hair out of my face and smiled at him warmly.
"I'm guessing Mum gave you the potion she told me never to mess with." I asked.
"Yeah she did. Samantha I'm sorry-"He started but I cut him off by hugging him tightly.
"It's alright, Dad. I already told you I don't blame you and I'm not mad. Even though I didn't know it was you." I said and un-clinged myself from him and looked up at him smiling. Man, my father's tall.
"I'm going to it make up to you for not being there. I promise." He said. He had a small smile on his face.
"I know one way." I replied and smiled at him more brightly.
"And what is that?" He asked.
"Since I can't have you as a dog I want a puppy," I said, "Yep, a puppy."
"Why didn't you ask your mother?"
"I did and she said no." I smiled innocently at him. He laughed a bark like laugh and nodded.
"Well I have to go write a letter. See you later." I replied and skipped up the stairs to write to Hermione.
Review, please!
