After a couple of hours it's dinner time, we sit at the dinner table and Sirius Black joins us.

After a while Sirius starts talking to me unexpected. "So, Y/N... where are you from?" He asks curiously.

"I don't really know what you exactly mean sir" I ask, while still being stunned.

"First, you don't have to call me sir darling. Sirius is fine."

"Sorry" I say smiling awkwardly.

"But, are you from the Wizarding world or were you muggle born?" He asks nicely.

"I don't really know, I was adopted by my parents who are muggles. It's a long story" I tell him.

"I see... well I've heard you're biological mothers name is Bellatrix, but you don't know more?" Sirius continues.

"Yes and no I don't"

"And... I assume you have heard of Bellatrix Lestrange?" He asks.

"Yes" I answer.

"And did you know she's my cousin?"

"Seriously? Wow, no I didn't know that. But you don't really think it's possible that she's my biological mother do you?" I ask confused.

"Well... she was always around men back in the days. She still is of course, I mean with death eaters"

I laughed softly at that thought, but it still kind of freaks me out.

"You could do a DNA test" Hermione says unexpectedly.

"That's crazy!" I respond.

"Yes, but it's actually a very good plan. If you want to" Sirius says.

"Do I?"

"You tell me"

"It's just so weird. I mean... what if?"

"Would it matter?" Sirius says.

"Yeah of course it would. If Bellatrix Lestrange is my mother, I'm screwed."

"No one has to know" Molly says. "And do you really want to put so much pressure on Amy. She's just a teenager"

"I'm sitting right here" I say. "I'm 18, practically an adult"

"I know dear, but some things can just be to much" Molly continues.

After that I remain quiet for a second, because I know she's right.

"So, are you in?" Sirius asks.

"Alright, I'm in" I respond smiling.

"It wouldn't be so bad being related to you, but... Bellatrix."

And the rest starts laughing too.

"It has to be anonymous though" Sirius says. "Otherwise I'm screwed"

"Yep"

One week later we're back at Hogwarts, but my thoughts are still back in the house. George, Fred, Angelina and Alicia never leave me alone, they keep watching me. George asks me 24/7 if I was doing okay. And I always responded with 'I'm fine'.
After 4 days of being back at Hogwarts Harry comes to me to tell me that Padfoot wants to talk to me.

"Gryffindor common room at the fire place 11 pm, try not to fall asleep' were his exact words" Harry says.

"Oké, thanks Harry" I say.

"If you need anything, just ask" he adds.

"I will, thank you"

"I'm staying with you" George says.

"Me too!" Fred and Angelina say insulted.

"Let's make it a party then" I say sarcastically.

I knew Alicia was with Lee so that was a relief.

That night at 10:55 pm;
Angelina, Fred, George, Ron, Harry, Ginny, Hermione and I were all waiting for Sirius. I didn't want all of them to be here, but they would not go away. All the other Gryffindors were already in their dorms because of curfew, so we had to remain quiet.
I don't really have a bad feeling about this, I think it's just coincidence and people talking, but I'm still nervous.

"Hello guys, I see you wouldn't leave Y/N alone" Sirius's voice wakes me up from daydreaming.

And George responds at him "Never"

"And it's important for all of us" Ginny adds.

"Yes, yes, well..." Sirius continues.

"Are you sure you want to know Y/N?" I hear Molly say in the background.

"Yes" I say confirming. "Just tell me"

"Oké then... It appears that you... you are my niece" Sirius says.

"..." It's quiet for several seconds, I want to make it minutes or hours. But then Ron broke the silence. "So, that means Amy is Bellatrix's daughter right?"

"Yes dummy, shut up" Hermione says while she hits him.

"Y/N?" Angelina asks.

But the only thing that came out of me was a quiet "ahuh?"

After a couple of moments of silence I ask Sirius "Do you have any other cousins called Bellatrix?"

"No sorry" he answers.

I try laughing a little. I thought making jokes about it would make it less bad, but it didn't.

"Aren't Bellatrix and Draco's mother sisters?" Hermione asks curious.

"Yes" Sirius answers.

"So that means... you and Draco are cousins" Hermione says in disgust.

This is crazy, I thought to myself.
When everyone went back to bed after the news I didn't stand up from the coach. I was just sitting there like a zombie. George tells Fred and Angelina to already go to bed like the others and they actually listened.

"Are you oké?" George asks sitting next to me.

"Stop asking that, I'm fine. Why do people keep asking that" I say stressed.

I stand up to go to my dorm, but George grabs my hand and pulls me back in his arms.

"You know, without her, you wouldn't be here and where would I be without you?" George says.

"I don't know, you tell me" I say.

He starts hugging me tighter and I hold him tighter too.

"Although this world here is crazy... there are a lot of good things about it too"
