⚠️ WARNING: this is one of my first fics // Valerie Scott was very similar to Sirius Black in many ways, pertaining to their families outlook on blood purity, and their brave Gryffindor hearts.
So why did they only just meet in their fifth year?

"I'm fine, don't worry." Valerie shooed away a very concerned Lily.
"Your obviously not. Tell me what's wrong, I'm not leaving your side until you do." "I-no- tell me." Lily cut her off. After moments of debating, Valerie realized that Lily wasn't going to move anytime soon, so it was best to just tell her.
"It's just- it's just this memory I have. It's not a big deal." "If it's not a big deal then tell me about." She declared. "Well...."
December 18, 1968
"Valerie." "Yes Aurora?" Asked 8 year old Valerie. "Could you come help with the dishes please?"
Valerie, welcome to the idea of helping her sister, scurried over to assist. As they scrubbed the grime off , Aurora turned on the radio and the Beatles came on.
"Let me take you down Cause I'm going to Strawberry Fields Nothing is real And nothing to get hung about Strawberry Fields forever Living is easy with eyes closed Misunderstanding all you see It's getting hard to be someone But it all works out It doesn't matter much to me1 Let me take you down Cause I'm going to Strawberry Fields Nothing is real And nothing to get hung about Strawberry Fields forever No one I think is in my tree I mean it must be high or low That is you can't, you know, tune in But it's all right That is I think it's not too bad Let me take you down Cause I'm going to Strawberry Fields Nothing is real And nothing to get hung about Strawberry Fields forever."
Rory, what kind of song is called strawberry fields? That's silly." She giggled. "It is isn't it. But I'm very fond of the tune." "Aurora!" Aurora turned to see her mother looking disdainfully upon her. "How dare you play such music in this house; filthy mudblood music!" Aurora said nothing, but continued to clean the dishes. "Aurora! Aurora you listen to me when I'm talking to you!"
But Aurora stood her ground. She didn't dare turn around or open her mouth.
"Aurora!"
But this time, the young women, still choosing to ignore her mother, started to walk towards the door. "Accio trunk." "Aurora Scott what do you think your doing." But it was too late, aurora had disappeared into thin air, right before Valerie's eyes. The one person in her life she genuinely loved, was gone.
December 18, 1978 Valerie was soaked in tears at this point. Lily was at the verge of tears.
"And then, she was gone. She was done." "she was done with out mother; our family." She finished wiping the tears from her face. Lily looked into her friends eyes lovingly. "I'll be your new sister." She said simply. "You already are."
That night Valerie lay awake, like she does on every anniversary of her sisters disappearance.
She remembered the song that played while they were doing the dishes. That one particular verse played over and over.
Nothing is real. "Nothing is real." She whispered to herself.
