A week had passed and people had come to apologize to me for speaking badly about my father. I don't get why they would apologize. It's not like they could've known the truth.
In the mean time I've let my father live in Grimmauld place.
Yeah that might not have been the best thing to do.

The moment grandma saw him she started yelling "FILTHY BLOODTRAITOR!!! HORRIBLE EXCUSE FOR A SON!!"
This was going to be great, note the sarcasm. I told my father he could choose any room to sleep in except for the master bedroom as that was my room. And then I called Kreacher and ordered him to listen to my father until I tell him otherwise. That was one grumpy house-elf.
After that I warned my father to not touch my potions cabinet or any of it's contents. I wouldn't want all my potions mixed up. Then I headed back to Hogwarts.
I hope he doesn't destroy my house while I'm there.

At Hogwarts I just met up with the twins and we went to prank some slytherins, after they teased me about the "Pup"thing again.

The next few months were quite boring. We had classes, I studied for my NEWTS, I had private lessons with Dumbledore, we pranked slytherins along with Snape and I ignored Remus. I still held a grudge against him. What can I say? I'm not really a forgiving person and I don't trust people that easy. Of course my lovely Daddy had to intervene and that's how I got my very first Howler.

The morning of the Howler...
The twins, Lee and I were eating breakfast at the gryffindor table as usual. We were planning for our next Hogsmeade weekend. We wanted to go to Honeydukes and Zonkos but Lee had managed to get a date and the twins and I wanted to see what they were going to do.
" You guys are not coming with me!"
"But Lee we wanna see how you treat the poor girl" I pouted.
" no way, not happening. If you want to see what a date looks like then go and have one yourself but don't go spying on mine"
The twins tried for another 5 minutes until we decided we would just have to go without him knowing.
At that moment the post arrived. I looked up to see if the ministry owl or Charlie's was there but then I spotted my father's new owl. It flew right at me with a bright red envelope. He did not just send me a Howler. Oh Merlin he did.
The Howler ripped itself open and started screaming with my father's voice.
" JANE LILY REMA ANDROMEDA BLACK, WHY ARE YOU IGNORING REMUS AND WHY ARE YOU IGNORING ME WHEN I ASK YOU WHY YOU IGNORE HIM?! GIVE THE MAN A BREAK! IT'S BEEN OVER 12 FREAKING YEARS! CAN YOU STOP ACTING CHILDISH AND JUST TALK TO HIM!
PS. I might have broken you're record player.
I love you, Pup, Dad"
By the time the letter was saying its last words it caught on fire. I kinda lost control. My hair had turned flaming red and if looks could kill, anyone who made eye-contact would be dead. I stood up with a scowl on my face and dissapeard in a ball of fire. My father dearest was going to get his head ripped of.

I arrived at home and started yelling.
" YOU IGNORANT STUPID TOERAG! HOW DARE YOU SEND ME A HOWLER! I SHOULD KICK YOU OUT OF MY HOUSE GODDAMNED! GET OVER HERE SO I CAN RIP YOUR FREAKING HEAD OF!"
I heard someone gulp in the kitchen and found him looking a bit terrified.
" What the heck was up with that Howler?!"
He looked at me swallowed an then started speaking.
" I didn't know how to get you to talk to Mooney so I just"
"Just send me a Howler huh? You don't have the right to send me Howlers. You lost that right the second you left your family only to get revenge. So don't you send me anything ever again unless it's about Harry, otherwise you just stay away from me!"
With that I apparated back to Hogwarts and went to the Room of Requirement. It changed into a training room and I shot fire at every target there was until I fell asleep.
