in which Sirius discovers he has a sister, who falls in love with an idiot
"If I'm the sun, what does that make you, you're certainly not the moon." He laughed
"Maybe I'm the gravity that holds everything down?" She smiled that self-deprecating...

au revoir
August 4, 1995
Goodbyes are hard, even when you do want to leave someone. Before she left with the Tonks family her goodbye to her brother was short, slightly emotional on Sirius' part, and sweet.
"And you have everything? Every pair of shoes, every book, Ophelia?"
"Yes, Sirius I have everything, even my familiar who you claim to hate" they both laughed a bit, enjoying the comfort for just a little bit longer.
Sirius tried to appreciate what Andromeda was doing, he knew nothing about girls, especially teenage ones, and would probably ruin her chances at ever being normal, but there was a part deep down in him that just didn't want his sister to leave, like everything would come crashing down the second she walked out the door.
He was a mess the first time she left Grimmauld with Madeye but Remus assured him the whole time that she would come home safe, now she was leaving, not coming back until her birthday and whenever she wants to visit.
"Okay one more hug, then you can run off and pelt Tonks with pillows" Eridanus hurried into his awaiting arms and sighed as they held her tightly as if she would float away in the blink of an eye. "I'm going to miss you kid, you know that? I might have to sneak out just to see you" Eri laughed into his chest and pulled away a bit, she took in everything about him but paid extra detail to his eyes. The bit of blue in the grey had come through since they first met,
"I'm gonna miss you too Siri" the man's eyes teared up a bit as they also memorized everything about the girl in front of him, her smile was much brighter and filled with much more happiness than when they first met.
"I will always want you Eri. Remember that." He whispered to her as he pulled her close on more time.

With everything moved into the Tonks home, which was a two-story, three-bedroom cottage on the outskirts of a tiny muggle village, it was time for Eridanus to move in too. (Along with the stubborn kneazle Ophelia) she was apparated just outside the property line by Andromeda after saying her goodbyes to her brother and portraits that she called family.
"Welcome home Eri," Ted's voice spoke, having apparating just behind them with Tonks. "It's not Grimmauld but-" Ted was shocked when the teen turned around and threw her arms around his neck, pulling him close and whispering 'thank yous' over and over
"It looks so," Eridanus couldn't find the words to use "it looks like freedom." She smiled, something that was slowly becoming a common occurrence since the Tonks family came into her life. She finally felt wanted.
