Throughout the summer, Willow learned about one person.

Ruby Black, wife of Sirius and sister of Remus.

As Willow heard about Ruby, she couldn't help but feel sad about the fact that a person who truly cared for her was no more. If she was alive, maybe herself and Harry would've had a godmother. Maybe she would've had a girl talk with her.

Adding to the fact that she died saving Harry.

"So, Ruby loved baking?" She asked Sirius as he nodded his head with a small smile.

"How did you and Ruby meet? You never said that, " Willow said as Sirius chuckled.

"You never asked!"

"Fine, now that I asked, answer me!" Willow exclaimed as Sirius nodded his head.

"When I was in my second year, I met her. It was the first day of the first year. I still remember. She stood behind Remus and was too shy. " he chuckled softly as Willow listened. "She looked cute as well,"

"Do you have a photo of her with you? I badly wanna see her. " Sirius took out his wallet and pulled a Polaroid out. Willow softly grabbed the polaroid from him and looked at the photo.

It was a photo of Ruby and Sirius, leaning their forehead against and had a contended smile. Willow smiled warmly as she looked up at Sirius, who clenched his jaw and looked away.

"She's looking like a dream, Sirius," he chuckled weakly and agreed with Willow.

"Indeed she is."

"Alright! The cookies are baked!" Yelled Remus as he walked out of the kitchen with a tray of chocolate cookies. Now, Willow got the answer to why her dad bakes cookies even though he doesn't know how to.

As they were about to eat, a knock on the front door disrupted them. Remus rolled his eyes as he removed the apron and ruffled his hair before opening the door.

An unfamiliar woman with purple hair stood out with her head hung low. Willow frowned as she ate it along. But, Sirius smiled widely as he got up and stood beside Remus.

"Tonks!" The purple haired woman looked up, but her eyes widened at the sight of Remus. Willow watched her hair turning into a deep shade of red as her eyes widened in awe.

"Wow! How do you that?!" She exclaimed. Tonks cursed herself as she breathed out and changed her hair back to purple.

"Like that," Tonks replied with a smile and pulled Sirius in a tight hug.

Later, they pulled apart as Sirius grinned.

"Well, she's my cousin, Tonks!" Sirius introduced. "And tonks, that is Remus, and she's his daughter, Willow,"

Remus smiled warmly as Willow waved her hand with an excited smile.

"What's the matter, Tonks?" Sirius asked as he let her in.

"It's about Harry," Tonks started off as she narrated the whole story of how he was attacked by a dementor in the muggle world and how he casted the spell.

"He broke the underage rule, so he has to meet the ministry," Tonks said as Sirius rubbed his forehead.

"And that's why Dumbledore asked for you guys in a grimmauld place," Sirius grimaced as he swallowed his saliva harshly.

"Really?"

"Sadly, yes. So, don't be a prat and pack your things." Tonks said and looked at Willow and Remus. "Um, you guys can pack your stuff as well... " Remus nodded as he headed to his room to pack his clothes, including Willow's.
