Ava Hope Lupin-Black

we are all going home

"Alright then cub,time for bed"

"No way,I'm not going in there,the poltergeist is gonna come and kidnap me"

"Why would peevees kidnap you?"

"No not peevees the one from the film"

Realisation crossed their faces and dad walked up to me and picked me up and I held on to him for dear life.

"This is why I don't let you watch scary films cub,this happens"

"I have an idea" Sirius whispered to Dad

"By all means go for it"

"Hey Ava if me and your papa sleep on either side of you then they would have to get through us first and they will never be able to get past me,you know why?"

"Why?"

"Because I am the tickle monster and I will tickle it to death!"

He took me out of dad's arms and started tickling me and I was laughing uncontrollably.

"S-s stop!*laughs*"

"Will you go to sleep now?"

"Yes!*laughs* I will,I will"

He stoped tickling me and I yawned and rubbed my eyes.Dad was leaning against the wall smiling at us.

"Goodnight cub"

"Goodnight papa"

Sirius took me in the other room.

"Sweet dreams princess"

"Goodnight dad"
A bigger smile appeared on his face and he left the room and I fell asleep while him and dad stayed up late.
--------------------
The next morning I woke up first and slowly and quietly got off the bed trying not to wake dad and papa,I had decided that's that what I was going to call them to make things easier,I got ready for the day and took my trunk out into the classroom and put it next to the door.I went back in the bedroom and climbed back on the bed and started jumping up and down.

"Wake up!"

"Ughhhhh"

"Clem on get up,we slept in so late that the train is leaving on half an hour!"

With that they both burst out of bed to get ready.

"Ugh how I'm I supposed to make my hair presentable in 30 minutes!"Sirius shouted from the bathroom which made me and papa laugh.Dad and papa did manage to be ready to leave and me made our way to the platform.Dad got quite a lot of looks on the way there but he didn't seem to notice or he just ignored them.

We me up with Harry,Ron and Hermione at the platform and found an empty compartment for us all to sit in.The teens and me played exploding snap until Ron got so annoyed that he kept loosing and decided that we should play wizards chess instead.I got a book out of my trunk and started reading because I didn't really like wizards chess.After around 6 hours we reached kings cross station and said goodbye to Ron and Hermione but me,harry,dad and papa stayed on the train and waited for all the other families to leave the platform because the news hadn't gotten out about dads innocence yet.

"Harry,Ava"We both looked up at Dad"We have both decided that we are going to stay in a place called twelve grimuald place instead of the cottage because it is bigger and has more room for is all"

"Great,what is it like"

"It's a very large and dark place but with s little work we can make it look however we want"

When all the other people had finally left the platform the four of us left the compartment and dad apperated us to a regular looking street with really big houses everyehere.I looked at the numbers on the houses along the street 10,11,13,24.

"Erm dad there is no number twelve"

He turned to look at me with a smirk on his face and stomped his foot twice.The buildings began to move to the side but anyone else on the street or in the houses didn't seem to notice.Another large house appeared between house eleven and house thirteen.

"Wow that was so cool!"

We walked up to and inside the house.Dad wasn't kidding when he said that this place was dark but that didn't make it look bad.

"This place is beautiful"

"You two like it?" Dad asked me and harry with a nervous look on his face.

"I think it's brilliant,much better than privet drive"

"I'm gonna get the best room" I started to race up the stairs and harry was not far behind me.

"Hey no fair you got a head start!"

The first room that I came across had griffindor things everywhere and a couple of posters of women in bikinis.

"Erm I think I'll take this room,probably Sirius' old room" Harry said after some aukward silence and I nodded my head and left the room.I walked further down the corridor and found a room with the name REGULUS ACTURIS BKACK I pushed open the door and looked around,there were strange objects everywhere and a couple of Slytherin themed things lying around the room.I immidiately liked this room and claimed it as my own although I did not like the dark,evil looking objects but I could easily fix that.

After I unpack my trunk I went downstairs into the kitchen where dad,papa and harry were sat talking.

"Papa can I use your wand please?"

"What for?"

"There is some creepy stuff in my room and I don't want to touch them incase it curses me."

"Ah you chose regulus' room then"

"Well I think it's for the better that I don't stay in your room dad,you've got some posters in there that I would rather not look at everyday"

"Oh I forgot about those,I stuck them up with sticking charms that made then impossible to take off,really got on my parents nerves"He smiled at the thought and me and harry giggled.

"Anyways I'll move those things for you Ava I can put them in the attic"

After we had all got settled into the house we spent the rest of the day cleaning and trying to make the place look brighter and more homely.I opened the door into a room that had a huge tapestry on the walls with the names of all the members of the black family,some faces looked like they had been burned off.In the corner of the room there was an old looking house elf that was cleaning a windowsill.

"Hello"

The house elf jumped and turned around to face me,he looked very grump.

"What's your name?"

"My name is kreature young mistress"

"My name is Ava,what are you doing here?"

"Kreature lives to serve the noble house of black"

"Oh are you Sirius' house elf"

"Master black is a horrid child that broke his poor mother's heart"

"Is that why he isn't on the tapestry?"

"Yes, my dear mistress blasted him off  when he ran away"

"Oh ok,I'll leave you be now"

I left and closed the door to that room and carried on searching through the house.
