Unknown Black Heir

Muggle Home

It's currently 9 at night and i'm sitting in the living room with my foster parents while they read to themselves. It's a nightly routine of theirs and I usually sit in my room and listen to music but I have a book that I'm supposed to be reading for school. The muggle school I'm being sent to because I'm living with muggles and expected to blend in. For twelve years, nearly thirteen now. I've never been to a school for people like me who have magic because of my father, Sirius Black, who is in Azkaban for murdering a bunch of people. I've visited him of course, but not in a while. I've been in and out of 6 different foster homes since I was young and the only people I really know from the wizarding world besides my dad is Remus Lupin, an old friend of my dads and Albus Dumbledore, a professor at the magic school I was supposed to go to.

Sometimes one of them or both of them will come visit me and check up on me. Usually once a month, sometimes more. The only time they both come at the same time is when there's bad news.

While I was reading the muggle book from my muggle school, there was a knock at the door. Neither one of my foster parents moved.

"Don't worry, I'll get it." I mumble, putting the bookmark in the book where I left off and setting the book on the couch before getting up and heading to the door.

Send the 13 year old to answer the door at nine at night, sure why not?

I look through the little hole in the door and see two familiar faces standing on the other side. What are they doing here so late?

I unlock the door and pull it open slowly. There's still the screen door between us. Both of them are staring at me with pity in their eyes.

"What are you guys doing here so late?" I ask them.

"May we come inside? We have something to tell you that may be hard to hear?" Remus says gently.

"Sure, my foster parents are still awake though." I say awkwardly as I unlock the screen door to let them in. Remus walks in first, giving me a hug. I hug him back. Dumbledore follows him.

"It's actually good that they're still up Cameron. We need to have a word with them too." Remus continues.

"Cameron? Who was at the door?" My foster mother calls out. These two have been the nicest foster family I've been in. They can be kind of lazy but other than that, they don't lock me in my room or hurt me or anything like that. They encourage me to do my school work which was a problem before coming here. I never felt like I needed to because I'd just move schools not long after. No point. But they told me that I need to learn some stuff before I go out in the world so I don't appear like I know nothing.

They have been the best family I've been placed with and I really hope Remus and Dumbledore aren't here to take me away and place me somewhere else.

"It's Remus." I call out. "And Professor Dumbledore, they say they need to speak to us."

"Let them in." My foster father calls out.

I don't know much about my family besides my father is in prison for wizards, his best friends died the same night he got arrested and he wasn't close with his blood family. I had no where to go after he got sent to azkaban. Remus wanted to take me in but both him and Dumbledore didn't think it was a good idea since he'd have to go away once a month and i'd be alone. I was apparently too young for that.

Since my father wasn't close with any of his blood family, I got sent into muggle foster care. I guess for my protection? If wizards found out that I was the daughter of Sirius Black, i'd never have a normal childhood. Not that it would have mattered, I didn't have a normal childhood either way.
