Chapter 7
The group had arrived just outside the DADA classroom when the bell to go to class had just rung. They now had ten minutes to chat while the other students made their way down to the classroom. They walked into the classroom searching around the room for Remus and Sirius and also things that would give away what they were doing in class today. They didn't find anything relating to class. Abbe walked over to the office that Sirius and Remus shared and looked at the calendar. She found that today was the full moon and her father needed to rest before it. "Why does this have to happen today?" She asked banging on the office door. Hearing the loud noise someone stepped out of the office and right into Abbe. Sirius grabbed Abbe's hand before she hit the door again and walked over to her friends. "Now, what's the matter?" Sirius asked pained to she his 'niece' upset.
"Did you look at the calendar?" She asked. He nodded and soon the classroom was filled with More Gryffindors and Slytherins, including Draco.
"So, you guys have already learned this, but we're going to try and produce a full corporeal patronus." Sirius said excitedly once the class had quieted down. Everyone's face lit and they all started talking about what their patronus might be or what they knew theirs was. "Alright," Sirius said, "Now, let's get started. First off I want you all to think of a happy memory, the happiest you can think of. It can be real, imaginary, or even a dream of yours." He said ending quietly. He gave everyone a minute or so to think of the happiest memory. When everyone looked up at him, he knew they were ready. "Now, does anyone want to share their memory. A few hands raised including Draco's, Abbe's, and Harry's. He first called on Harry because he already knew that Harry's was of when his Mum and Dad were talking to him when he was little. But, Harry had said something different.
"My memory is finding out that you were my godfather." Harry said smiling. Sirius was shocked that the memory had to do with him. Despite his shocked expression he forced a smile onto his face. He signifid that Draco was able to go next and he said what his was.
"You guys may not believe me, but seeing Voldemort dead once and for all was my happiest memory." When Draco finished speaking everyone stared at him like he had just said that Muggle-borns were better than purebloods. Abbe just smiled, knowing all along that he was on the light side. Sirius nodded to Abbe seeing her put her hand in the air, probably knowing what her memory was.
"My happiest memory was the time when my family and I went on our last vacation together," She now had a hard time talking of her family, "This was when we went to the United States. We traveled all throughout the country and we even went shopping for my birthday in the Mall of America..." She had finished talking and tears started to well up in her eyes. She hastily wiped them away not wanting anyone to see her cry. Eli slowly walked up behind her and put a hand on her shoulder in a loving way. She turned her head to look at him and smiled. Sirius smiled knowlingly. 'They are going to get together.' He thought with a smile.
"Alright, now I want you guys to focus on the memory and speak the incantation 'Expecto Patronum'." Sirius addressed the crowd of students in front of him. "I will call on you one by one to try and produce a patronus for me." He pointed to the students one by one occasionally seeing a full corporeal patronus but seeing more silver wisps come out the wands of his students. The ones who were able to produce were his daughter, Harry, Ron and Hermione.
It was now Abbe's turn to produce hers. She had reminded him (personality wise) of Remus's goddaughter who had died when the Potter's house was destroyed. Yes, she was Harry's twin. He always knew she was alive, he never gave up hope even when he was in Azkaban. Her name was...is Ashton Jenna Potter. She looked just like her mum, except for her eyes. Ashton had auburn hair and bright brown eyes. For a 1 year old she was extermely smart. If she ever went to Hogwarts she would deifinetely be a Ravenclaw. Then that terrible night when his best friends were killed, it had devesated him. When he went to the house he found Ashton and Harry missing, captured by Death Eaters he thought. But, Abbe couldn't be Ashton...could she? He would talk to Remus about it.
He had not realized that Abbe had already conjured her patronus and was staring at it suspiciously. Her patronus was...yes was....in fifth year a red panda, it was now a doe. He felt a pang of sadness in his heart when he noticed that her patronus was Lily's. 'She think so too or maybe knows she is a Potter...or maybe it's because of her family....adopted family dying.' He thought to himself. He acted as if he too was confused. Instead of having his face look like he was sad he put on a bright smile and congratulated Abbe on her performance. She just looked at him puzzled and walked over to Harry who also had sadness in his eyes. She put her head on his shoulder in a comforting way and he looked at her in a sisterly way. He turned and hugged his 'sister'. She was his sister no matter what. She was the only one who knew what he was going through. In all technicalities she had gone through this twice. The way they acted around eachother he could tell they had a special connection. Then, Sirius knew for sure that this was the long lost daughter of James and Lily Potter.
