"You're just a stranger, I know everything about"
- Olivia Rodrigo.
IT'S BEEN 15 YEARS SINCE ATHENA BLACK was murdered by death eaters. Or at least that's what the Wizarding world thinks.
In fact she had no idea that wizards and magic even exist...

29th July 1995 PRESENT DAY
THE RAIN WAS SPITTING LIGHTLY outside of Sirius bedroom window when he woke up this morning, which he thought was strange considering it was soon to be August, The dark circles under his eyes were more prominent showing the clear signs that he hadn't been sleeping well at all. The image of his sister constantly replaying in his head was all he could think about. She is alive. She has children . Maybe Regulus is alive too ?
He eventually pulled himself out of bed and went straight to the kitchen to have his morning cup of coffee. He stopped drinking tea even before he went to Azkaban and opted for a more bitter drink. He didn't even notice if the caffeine had affected him .
He couldn't tell anymore.
Molly and Arthur's children were all downstairs eating and chatting quietly to themselves. He noticed Remus and Hermione were in the corner of the table talking about what looks to be a book she is reading, Yet they all stopped talking when they noticed he walked in, or noticed the fact he had been crying last night ; evidence of that in his eyes.
He sat down at the head of the table with his coffee in his hand . He couldn't bare the silence anymore.
"Is there any news from the order yet?" Sirius questioned.
"There's going to be a meeting in an hour, and Dumbledore had been notified of what you've seen" Molly replied back. "I suggest you clean yourself up abit Sirius" she further added.
"Any news in the prophet?" Sirius asked , satisfied with her answer taking a sip from his coffee
"Just the usual, the ministry calling Harry a liar and Fudge thinking Dumbledore is after his job" Hermione sighed.
"Well the Daily Prophet is a load of rubbish anyways" Sirius mumbled as he finished his coffee placing it on the tables .
"The order should be here in less than an hour so I suggest you go clean yourself Sirius like Molly said" Remus said.
"Right" Sirius got up from his chair and headed upstairs to freshen up.
___________________________ Shafiq household
Mornings in the Shafiq household were never quiet whether it was because of her two children who loved to talk or the fact she was constantly stressing making sure she had everything with her before she headed into the hospital. Mornings were never peaceful.
"Alya, Aries come to the table now and eat your breakfast!" Athena called for her two children that were playing in the living room.
As they both joined her at the table she noticed her husband, Khalid walking setting himself at the head of the table.
"Mom I don't want toast I wanted pancakes!" Aries demanded.
"Aries love, I can't make you pancakes I have to go to the hospital soon, please eat your toast!" Athena replied tiredly. Aries had hit the age where everything Athena did just wasn't enough.
"But mom I don't want toa-!"
"Aries listen to your mom and eat your toast!" Khalid interrupted, too tired to listen to his tantrum
"No!" Aries screamed , as he knocked over everything that was on the table but he hadn't touched anything? How did everything fly off the table and onto the floor ? Athena questioned to herself and she gave her husband a confused look.
Khalid knew this would happen one day , he knew all too well what this meant for his son. Aries was a witch and had started to show signs of his magic. But Athena didn't know? He never spoke to her about magic as he assumed she was just a squib and was disowned as she carried a powerful and fundamental surname but no? She didn't even mention magic , not once.
"I'm sorry mommy I didn't mean to do it!" Aries immediately started to apologise, tear forming in his eyes.
"It's alright darling, accident like these happen all the time" Athena said calming him down as she bent down and started to clean the smashed plates that were on the floor.
"Athena love you're going to be late , I'll clean up and get them ready alright, I have a day off work!" Khalid said as he took the broken plates out her hands and kissed her forehead.
"Okay , let me just say goodbye" Athena had grabbed her bags and her keys of the kitchen counter kissing both Alya and Aries. She placed a gentle kiss to Khalid lips before leaving.
Khalid had exhaled a breath he didn't know he was holding in.
"You've caused quite a fuss Aires, come let's get you both ready!" He laughed as he pulled both Alya and Aries into his arms, their laughs being heard all the way upstairs. ___________________________ 12 Girmmauld Place
The order came not long after Sirius finished freshening up , Molly had kicked out all the children and ordered them to stay upstairs until the meeting was finished, though Sirius had a feeling they were listening in.
"Sirius can you tell you what you saw then?" Kingsley Shacklebolt said, not wasting any more time.
"I was out by the local park , it's not to far from here and I saw Athena with two children and a man!" Sirius replied looking up to see everyone staring at him like he was crazy.
"Athena is dead Black , she has no children or a husband, you've wasting everyone's time" Severus said harshly.
"I know what I saw snivellus!" Sirius replied just as harsh
"I guess imprisonment has tampered with your brain" Severus snarled.
"You said she had kids Sirius?" Dumbledore questioned before Sirius could respond back.
"Yes , two off them, there names are Aries and Alya, one of them had magic I just know!" Sirius said but glared at Severus
"If what you're saying is true, then I want Shacklebolt and Alastor to check the Improper Use of Magic Office and see if they have the trace and locate them immediately, I also want the name of their father!" Dumbledore said calmly.
"Once we have their location Tonks I want you , Remus, Arthur , Alastor and Shacklebolt to bring them here"
Everyone nodded and immediately started to prepare themselves for what was to come . ___________________________
