Starlight - Sirius Black

Chapter One

— Chapter One

It was 1974. The wind aired into Lily's bedroom as she stuffed her nose into yet another one of her favorite classics. The beautiful story of "Black Beauty" has never frightened her. The girls brown doe eyes scanned the book word by word, text by text, anticipation running its course through her veins.

It was as if she were the narrator themselves. Lily was as focused as a nocturnal owl in the dead of night until a yell had echoed through the house.

"LILY!" She heard a woman cry out, and this brunette girl had known that that woman was her best friend, and conveniently her own mother.

Her vision being out of focused for merely a few seconds, once it was good she managed to stumble her way down the staircase.

"We seriously need to upgrade the watt capacity on our lights because I can't keep seeing a bunch of letters and white circle whenever I go down" she complained.

"Then don't read!" Kimberly joked as she was sitting on the kitchen table, sorting through mail with magic.

"But then I'd have to find another hobby, and last time that happened we ended up with the horrible Quidditch accident of 1971" Lily joked around.

"Yes but you're pretty, so you don't need to be interesting because god knows what power you would hold if you were both" Kimberly sarcastically replied as she always did.

Lily chuckled. "Well, what did I get an imprinted migraine for?" She asked her mother. "Just wondering what time you want to go to Diagon Alley tomorrow morning, because I could drop you off there while I work and when I've got my break I could check up on you" Kim explained her initial plan.

"Oh that works perfectly great, gives me enough time to puff out some smoke then maybe use some Polyjuice to get some fire whiskey" Lily enthusiastically responded. "Oh come on" Kim sighed, "At least shoplift or something too!"

To be frank, this isn't a normal family. Kimberly "Lily" Gilmore was born out of wedlock as well as an accidental pregnancy. Her mother, also named Kimberly, found out that she was pregnant with a Muggle mans baby when she was only a girl of sixteen years old and she has been raising that child for fifteen years since.

Who is her father? John Hughes came from a prominent British family that had no affiliation with the wizard in world. He and her mother had fallen in love as children but couldn't get married due to their families negligence.

Kimberly came from a Pure-Blood family called Rosier. They were prominent in the wizarding world and had power like no other. She grew up alongside her brother, who soon had her daughters first cousin, Evan Rosier.

Lily had nothing in common with Evan but a nose and it stops there. She had always felt bad for him. H envied the relationship that she and her mother had. When everyone saw Evan as a bully, as well as a lousy git, Lily knew that he did all that to simply find purpose in himself and in his role in this world. It still didn't justify the amount of people he had hurt over the years but its better knowing the reason than not to know at all.

Besides, Evan had found it comforting to be around his cousin, as well as a bit convenient. Lily was a pretty smart girl, and had recently been asked to be the Ravenclaw Prefect for the upcoming years so she had usually assisted Evan in passing his classes despite the fact that he was a year older than she was and therefore taking a more complicated and difficult set of courses and curriculum for his year.

But sixth year was quite easy, she heard, so she thought it wouldn't be much of a burden despite the fact that she had her O.W.L.'s this year.
