❝ CALM BEFORE THE STORM ❞

ANASTASIA MERLIN WAS SHOCKED after hearing what her niece told her. She couldn't believe that the same grey eyed man that was her bestfriend, her closest ally turn against them and betray the hazel eyed boy who was like a brother to him.

"I don't believe it." Anastasia said, "Sirius could never-"

"McGonagall and other professors said so." Lilith sighed, "They say Pettigrew was found dead and Sirius was laughing."

Anastasia shook her head. She don't believe that all. She thought about it for a moment, keeping aside her emotions as she saw the facts. James and Lily were killed by Voldemort and Pettigrew was killed by Sirius.

But if Sirius really had sold Potters to Voldemort, then why did he even returned back to that house? Why did he insisted Hagrid to give Harry to him? By not fly away on his motorcycle?

"Something is missing." Anastasia said, shaking her head.

"That's what I think." Lilith replied, her lips pulled in a frown, "I think that something is begin mislead."

Anastasia looked at her, "Like what?"

Lilith sighed as she gazed across the mortal world, her lips pulled in a frown as she thought about everything. Her fingers gripping the railing as she leaned on her on hand.

"I ordered the Dementors to only hurt Black but on that day....they attacked Harry." Lilith said in a soft voice as Anastasia listened carefully.

"Dementors are not stupid." Anastasia said thoughtfully. "They would never disobey your direct orders."

"Yes." Lilith replied, "That's why I think that Black was there. At the time of match. And then.... When the Fat Lady was attacked... There were claw marks on her portrait."

"Claw marks?" Anastasia asked, her eyes were growing wide.

"Yes." Lilith replied, failing to notice the reaction her Aunt was giving. "And then I remembered what Lupin told us one day.... He said that dementors can't sense animal's emotions...which made me wonder if Sirius Black is an..."

"Animagus." Anastasia finished Lilith's line making the girl glance at her.

"He is?" Lilith asked, she knew her Aunt was bestfriends with Black and Potter.

Anastasia couldn't help but feel her throat tighten, she could remember the memories of her, James, Sirius and Remus laughing and hanging around. She remembered how she used to help Peter with his homework, how she used to pull pranks on Snape along with James and Sirius, how she used to aid Remus back to health after full moon.

"Ana?" Lilith called out, placing a gentle hand on her Aunt's shoulder, "What's wrong."

Anastasia sighed as she looked at her niece. She could help but admire how intelligent Lilith is, how effortlessly she solved everything.
