The Chronicles of Savanna Black

Chapter 21- Princess

(SAVANNA's POV)

I took one look at myself in the mirror that Uncle Ted had installed three days ago as part of my welcome home present. The dress that Uncle Ted had bought for me fit me well. I had Dutch-braided my hair to my left side and went out of my room.

"Ah, it fitted you well." Uncle Ted greeted me.

"Hi, Uncle Ted. Thanks for the dress, I love it!" I said, smiling.

"Are you okay, Sav?" he asked.

"Yeah, I am." I answered but he looked at me suspiciously.

"Savanna! You look so beautiful! Now, who would look at us four and say we're witches and wizard?"

"Now, Sav, I trust you know a lot about muggles?" Uncle Ted asked.

"I had the best of both the wizarding and muggle worlds." I answered and Aunt Andromeda smiled.

"Ready?" she asked and I nodded.

Tonks had descended the stairs and stood beside me. She had worn a blue velvet dress that made her look like a muggle supermodel. She had also worn her hair long and black, very much like mine's and Aunt Andromeda's. Soon, we were all in Uncle Ted's car, headed to the event. They were all talking and I sat there listening..or at least pretending to listen. When the car stopped, the four of us looked at each other and I took a deep breath, then we headed inside a hotel, for our dinner. 

"I received a lot of owls from McGonagall." Aunt Andromeda said, looking at me.

"You did?" I asked, trying to look innocent.

"Don't you dare paint me that innocent face, Savanna Lily Black! It doesn't work." Aunt Andromeda said.

"I cannot help it, Aunt Andy. I can't be tamed." I said.

There was silence and then, the four of us laughed. But my laughter faded when the background music played by an orchestra started. I picked up my fork and pretended to be immersed by my food, when in fact, I was thinking of Uncle Jo-- Uncle Regulus. This was one of the songs that he used to play and we would dance.

"Savanna?" Tonks said and I shook my head. "You see?! It doesn't matter, come on, mom."

"Uhm..what were you saying, Tonks?" I asked and Uncle Ted and Aunt Andromeda looked at each other. Tonks sighed.

"I am talking about the Quidditch World Cup. We had tickets but I have to pass my Stealth and Tracking again." Tonks said.

"I don't really mind not going. It wouldn't be as much fun if you weren't there." I said.

"But we have to have at least a holiday." Uncle Ted said.

"How about after Dora passes her test?" Aunt Andromeda suggested and I nodded, agreeing with Aunt Andromeda.

When everything else was settled and we were finished with dinner, we headed to Uncle Ted's event. It was packed with Muggles and we tried to blend in and succeeded. Uncle Ted was given an award for being the best weatherman on TV and we all were proudly clapping our hands and cheering on him. He was doing okay, until he tripped, mkaing his way towards us. Aunt Andromeda smiled while I gave Tonks a look.

"Oh, shut it, Sav." Tonks said, sounding annoyed and I laughed.

Everything was a blur, and then, we were inside Uncle Ted's car. Aunt Andromeda was seated calmly on the passenger seat, next to Uncle Ted while I sat at the back with Tonks.

"So, Sav, have you considered what you wanted to do after school?" she asked.

"Now, now, Dora, it's too early for Savanna to think about that." Aunt Andromeda said.
