   I heard about Tom, and what he did. This is worst then when I saw him leave. Because now I know it's really the end. I should've gone with him when I had the fucking chance. But I couldn't because I was scared, and I didn't know what to do. I heard Pansy ran off too, but she's alright. I know many people died in the battle. I don't know how much more pain I can take. Because now I'm seventeen, and I only have one thing left to do. And I don't know how to deal with it...it's the last entry.

   "Welcome to the final entry. Number seven. I always viewed that number as something special, and it is. This one location has never been seen by anyone else than me, Marlene, and soon to be my daughter Roxanne. This last location is when I felt fear rush through my body, and I noticed my future crush me. Because I knew what was happening. I was going to be a father. Marlene, and I have just gotten married, and we chose to stay away from everyone else. We knew we would be happier together far away from people we wish we never saw, and that's exactly what we did. We walked down to a beach that never shined any light. It was always cloudy, and it had a beautiful breeze to it. I know people would prefer the sunny beaches, but this beach was perfect. It's also a very terrifying beach because it leaves a special but fearful memory.
  Marlene was swimming while she was pregnant with our first child; Roxanne. When all of a sudden while writing in this journal, I heard screaming from the water. I looked up to see Marlene laying on her back floating in the water while I saw some blood stain the blue water...she was giving birth. I ran to her, and saw the baby coming out. And I'm just a few minutes she was born in water because it was different to move. I dragged them both to shore, and cleaned up the baby in my arms. Marlene was breathing slowly, as she stood up drying the baby. "She's so beautiful Sirius." "Indeed." "What shall we call her?" "I don't know." "You know I've always liked the name Roxanne." "Roxanne? Roxanne Black. It rolls off the tongue. I love it." The beautiful child in my arms was crying reaching out for her mother. I was scared but also feeling bits of joy staring into my child's eyes.
   After a few hours of cleaning her up, we brought her back home and into Marlenes secret room. Where she kept her warm, and safe until she was two years old. That's why Marlene loved that secret room so much, because she got to watch her beautiful daughter grow up and love her. There is nothing than can make me think of anything else about Roxanne other than that she was the most perfect child you ever lied eyes on. She was that beautiful."

I was born in a private ocean. Before I closed the book I saw a piece of paper written in my mother's hand writing.
 
"Dear angel. You've finished the books which means you've found out where you were born. If you want to know everything about my past life. Go back to the room where I kept you warm. Under the rocking chair there is a loose floorboard. Lift up the floorboard, and you learn everything about me. I love you so much, and I wish I was here to hug you when you needed it."
 
That made me smile, but cry at the same time and I needed to know about my mother. Her life was such a secret, and I can't believe I'm about to find out everything about her.
