An hour after, Sirius came back looking murderous. Severus barely glanced his way. He knew how it feels, finding out you've been manipulated all this time.

He simply pointed his finger at the dining table. And went back to his potion book.

Before Sirius went for the food he hugged his goddaughter tightly. He keeps saying sorry to the point Scilla got annoyed and dragged him to the dining table. She sat him down and went to sat down and leaned to Severus side.

She grabbed her books and continued to read. She could hear Sirius muttered 'Ravenclaw.'

Sirius was actually surprised at seeing their relationship, knowing how much he hates the marauders. Especially James.

But now that he looked at his goddaughter, apart from her black hair that he got from James, she look more like Lily. She got Lily's eyes and face shape. There's also a distinct Black features from her grandmother he guessed.

Sirius ended up staying in the guest room since he refused to part from his pup. And Severus grudgingly agreed for Scilla.

He also keep an eye on him in case Sirius got emotionally unstable.

One day, Severus asked Scilla if she agreed to move to Prince's Manor. He gave up trying to make Sirius leave. The damn dog were too stubborn.

Scilla just shrugged her shoulder and nodded. She didn't care where they live. As long as she stayed with them.

And the next week, they moved to Prince's Manor. Sirius still went to some Black property though, he immediately took his Black Lordship. And managed the Black family.

Sirius immediately lift Andromeda's banishment from the family. He also met with his other cousin, Narcissa.

He also asked the goblin to take down his mother's painting in Grimmauld Place.

Other than that, he was completely recovered from his time in Azkaban. Even among his busy schedule, he always spared several hour a day to spend with his pup.

The day in Prince's Manor was loud and chaotic whenever Sirius was there. It was fun, Scilla thought.

That day, someone came to the Manor. Scilla was the only one downstairs and heard the knock. Sirius was holed up in his office, while Severus was back at Hogwarts.

Now that Sirius was there, Scilla mostly stayed in the Manor, she sometimes visits Malfoy Manor.

She walked and opened the front door.

"Yes?"

A haggard man with a scar on his face stood in front of her.

"Scilla?" He mumbled.

"You're Uncle Moony, then?" She guessed.

~~~~~P~~~~~
Scilla shouted Sirius's name. And not long, he was downstairs. The moment he saw his bestfriend, Sirius contemplated what to do.

But then he saw Scilla scrunched her face. Sirius pulled her back immediately. Remus Lupin, looked hurt at that gesture and Sirius noticed this.

"Pup, go upstairs." He said softly.

Scilla nodded and went to the library upstairs rubbing her nose.

"Sorry, Moony. With your current condition, I can't let you near her. Come on." Remus thought Sirius was talking about his lycanthropy. But Sirius was actually referring to the compulsions.

Sirius brought his best friend to Gringotts immediately. Remus was confused but just silently follow his best friend.

~~~~~S~~~~~
Scilla left a letter on Sirius's office door that said she went to the Malfoy's. Then went via floo.

Scilla greeted Narcissa and went to find Draco. Draco was in his room.

"Hey, Dray." She plopped down on his bed.

Instinctively, Draco ran a hand in her hair. He hummed, not taking off his eyes from the book about quidditch on his hand.

"I thought your staying with Sirius?" Draco asked.

"Someone came to see him. They went to Gringotts I think."

Draco hummed softly. Scilla was dozing off thanks to Draco's head rub. It was calming.

Around two hours after, Narcissa came in and saw Scilla almost asleep.

"Scilla. Sirius want you back home." She softly said.

Scilla opened her eyes slowly, she rubbed her eyes and went to floo. Narcissa rubbed her head gently.

Sirius was waiting in the floo room. He felt guilty looking at her sleepy face. Sirius pick her up and carried her to the living room.

And for once, Scilla didn't protest. She was too tired to protest.

Remus, was seated in one of the couch. He looked angry. Sirius brought him to get cleansed. Some of the compulsions was the reason of his low self esteem.

He also found out about Scilla's injury and malnutrition. His werewolf side was almost out.

In that moment, both Severus and Sirius who carried Scilla came in the room. Sirius told Severus that the werewolf came to visit him. He's actually begged him to make wolfsbane for Remus. Much to Severus annoyance.

Instinctively, Remus want to hug his cub. But before that, something stopped him. A scent to be exact.

"Scilla.." He started slowly.

"Why can I smell vampire scent on you?" He continued.

Scilla looked at the werewolf infront of her. She shrugged.

"I'm half vampire." She mumbled.

This shocked not only Remus, but also the other two adults in the room.

"You're a vampire, pup? Why didn't you tell us?" Sirius asked softly.

"You never asked. And I keep forgetting. I'm sorry." She hid her head on Sirius's shoulder.

Severus rubbed her back gently. He didn't care what she is to be honest.

"I never saw you drink blood though. Did you even drink any?" Severus asked.

To the three adults horror, she shook her head.

"I don't need to drink blood yet. I'll need to drink when I'm ten." She said.

"You don't hate me?" She asked pitifully.

"Of course not, Pup. How can we hate you? I won't hate you even if you got sorted into Slytherin or if you join the dark side." Sirius coaxed her.

Now that they knew, they started to stock up some blood bag for her.

Severus also made some potions for vampire that he already modified along with some wolfsbane.
