Pandora Black was the youngest Black sibling. She was close to both of her brothers, even Sirius, though he had left home when she wasn't even old enough to go to Hogwarts yet. Many things happened in her life that tore down most of her happiness, t...
"Pandora, we're almost at Hogwarts." Bill said, as he shook the girl gently.
Bill had already grabbed Enzo from her, since the boy had gotten hungry. Pandora yawned silently, before sitting up and fixing her hair. She slipped her small bag back on her back, as she waited for the train to come to a stop. Once the train stopped, Pandora stood up without a word. She went to grab her other bag from the rack above, but Bill stopped her.
"Pandora, take Enzo so I can--" He began, but Pandora cut him off.
"I can get my own bag. I'm not an invalid." She snipped, making him sigh.
"Enzo, tell Mummy that Daddy didn't mean it like that." Bill cooed, as he turned Enzo towards Pandora.
"Bill, what are you--" She began, but he cut her off.
"Just—take Enzo, we'll talk later." He said, and she simply nodded.
Once Enzo was in her arms, she couldn't help but think about what Bill had called her when talking to Enzo. Her heart fluttered, but she kept her face emotionless. She squeezed Enzo a little, feeling the softness of the sleeper Pandora bought Enzo for Christmas.

Pandora walked with Enzo in her arms, as Bill carried their bags. She didn't want to ignore Bill, but she was still upset with him. As soon as they entered the Gryffindor common room, Bill practically dragged Pandora up to his dorm room. She placed Enzo in his bed, before she turned to Bill with her arms crossed.
"Why am I in here?" She asked, a bit of an attitude in her voice.
"We need to talk, and I had to make sure it was quiet and we weren't going to be disturbed by half of Gryffindor coming into the common room." He replied, making her frown.
"What could we possibly need to talk about?" She asked, frowning at Bill.
"We need to talk about us," He replied, sighing quietly,"I spent the entire train ride to Hogwarts thinking about what I wanted to say. I didn't want to say anything wrong, or make it seem like we were breaking up. Honestly, after you asked me about being Enzo's mum, I was spooked. The last girl, Enzo's birth mum, she hurt me, hurt us. I have to think about myself, as well as Enzo. I know you're a great girl, and I love you so much," He continued, watching as her frown got deeper by the way he was saying his confession,"Look, I'm not breaking up with you. I love you, and so does Enzo. He deserves to have a mum that will love him and put him first. You have proven time and time again that you'll always think about Enzo and what is best for him. You don't try to push him off on someone else. You're a great mum for Enzo, and I know for a fact that you're the perfect choice to be his forever mum." He said, and she felt her heart flutter.
"You mean that?" She asked, making him nod.
"Every word," He answered,"Honestly, Pandora, you've made me feel things I've never felt before. You've made me question things that I normally would do, wondering if they were wrong. I fell in love with you the moment you held Enzo in your arms the first time. I absolutely love you so much, and I want you to be our forever." He said, causing a tear to fall from her eye.
In one swift movement, Pandora stepped forward and wrapped her arms around Bill. He wrapped his arms around her waist, holding her tightly to his body. Feeling her in his arms again, and knowing she wasn't mad at him anymore, made him feel ecstatic. He hated having her mad at him, since he wasn't sure if she'd ever forgive him. She was the only girl he'd ever been with that he would willingly try to apologize to and have her forgive him.
"Do you feel like going down to the Great Hall for dinner, or do you want to stay up here and I go grab us some food?" Bill asked, as he looked down at the girl in his arms.
"We can go to the Great Hall, Casen probably wants to see you and tell you about his Christmas." She replied, and he nodded.
"He'd like to see you as well, y'know, he is your friend." Bill commented, causing Pandora to shrug.
"But he was your friend first. First friend rules over second friend, Bill." She retorted, making him roll his eyes.
"So, I guess that means I rule over Casen, 'cause I was your first friend." He said, a smirk playing on his lips.
"Actually, Dora was my first friend, but whatever helps you sleep at night." Pandora joked, making Bill scoff.
Pandora lifted Enzo out of his bed to carry him down to the Great Hall with her and Bill. She watched as people took glances at her, Bill, and Enzo. Everyone seemed to like Enzo's new outfit, which she wasn't surprised about. The moment Casen seen them, he jumped from his seat and waved them over.
"Hey guys!" He exclaimed, a smile on his face.
Bill and Casen talked amongst each other, as Pandora fed Enzo some mashed potatoes and mashed cinnamon apples. She absolutely loved baked cinnamon apples, and they were easily crushed, so she was able to give some to Enzo. He seemed to really like them as well, which made her happy.
"So, how was Enzo over the holiday?" Casen asked, and Bill smiled.
"He was great, spent a lot of time with his mum." Bill replied, causing Casen to furrow his eyebrows.
"His mum?" He questioned,"I'm confused." He said, making Bill chuckle.
"Yeah, his mum. She stayed with us for the holiday," He answered,"Don't you remember me inviting Pandora for the holiday? He spent most of his time with her, his mum." He added, and Casen gasped.
"Oh! That's great!" He exclaimed, as Pandora smiled to herself.
Pandora was happy that Bill was telling others that she was Enzo's mother, even if not by blood, though eventually a blood adoption could change that for them...
