Tears welled in Aurora's eyes, but not because Sirius had hit her. But because as a child, she pictured her father to be a great man, no matter what cruel children or foster parents had said to her. Never in a million years would the younger Aurora imagine being slapped on the face by her father. What child would?

Aurora didn't let her tears fall though. She hadn't cried since she was four years old and that had been when she was pushed into the road by a bully at the orphanage when they were out on a field trip and she got ran over by a car. Luckily, someone had decided that she should be taken to hospital and Aurora survived. This, wasn't close to the fear she felt of dying that day. Aurora swore that after that day, unless she was taking her last breath with someone who loved her, she'd never cry again. With that thought in mind, Aurora blinked back her tears, her expression turning stoic and stalking out of the room.

She headed straight to the front door, exited the house and sat on the cold ground. It was easy for her to fall deep into her subconscious, having an internal debate as to what she could do about her situation. In fact, she slipped so deeply into her own mind that she didn't notice the dark haired boy approaching her.

"Hey. Are you ok?" A concerned voice asked. The sound of the unfamiliar male's voice snapped Aurora back to reality and she responded with "none of your business" before actually taking a look at him. As she scanned him from head to toe, she summarised that he looked a lot like her, except his skin was rather pale and his eyes a bright blue. Hers on the other hand were a dark brown and her skin was more tanned. She stared at the boy, managing to mask her surprise at his appearance whilst trying to figure out if it was a coincidence that they looked so alike.

"Well, at least tell me your name. I'd like to know who I have the pleasure of meeting" the boy asked. Her previous response made him wonder if it was her. Yes, her appearance was a lot like his, but there were differences, like her eyes. If he just found out her name he'd know for sure, and if it wasn't her, he'd carry on searching. "It's Aurora. Aurora Alexia Black" she responded and at her reply, the boy's eyes widened.

"Oh. My God. Are you Regulus Black's daughter?" He asked almost 100 percent sure now. "No I'm Sirius Black's daughter. Regulus is my uncle" she answered, sitting up straighter and looking at him with a piercing stare. No he's not, the boy thought. "You are her!" He exclaimed. "Who?" She asked, still partly confused about his exclamation. "You're my twin sister. I'm Asmodeus Alexander Black."
