‘Potter, wake up. Potter!’ The acerbic voice of the potions master of Hogwarts coaxed her out of the blissful dreamless sleep she had been having.
Opening her eyes she saw the pale face of the man she had hated for years but now had come to see as a father figure. The man who had done anything and everything to save her life . He had been  a spy and a bodyguard that she had never known to have.
Seeing her opening her eyes in came a myriad of people. Her friends and members of the Order of Phoenix were in the room. She was lying on her bed  in Grimmauld  Palace. On the bed next to her was her Godfather but he looked different, younger somehow he looked  both innocent and dangerous at the same time.
She reached his hand and with a gasp his eyes flew open.
He was shocked to see the grown up face of his Goddaughter and the presence of Severus Snape was a little unnerving for him.
‘What happened? How am I here? What happened to you? When did you became a woman? You were a tiny little thing the last time I saw you..... I was dead  Bellatrix hit me with a curse.’
Seeing her Godfather alive and well she  smothered him with a hug, tears rushed from her eyes as she said  a silent prayer to her Grandfather, thanking him for returning her Godfather back.
Sirius being the impatient man he was he demanded answers.
So, she told him everything thing, from the moment he died to moment the moment I last remembered. The proof that my meeting with my Grandfather was real were the three rings on my fingers. She grazed the rings with the fingers of her left hand, each stone gave out a distinct flavour of power.
She could feel thrumming of power, her power, she could taste the air around her, the water molecules in the air and could see that her Godfather’s aura, which showed a bright green colour resembling the gem on her finger.
The room was empty except for Sirius and Severus, Severus had ushered the others out of the room wanting to give them privacy, and no one argued with the dour acerbic tongued former Potions Master who now had been turned into a vampire.
A dying Severus was found by a hungry vampire who had fed Severus his blood, the vampire was killed by Hermione but the damage was done.
The excruciating process of his transformation took a week in which he was under the care of the hawk-eyed Madam Pomfrey. It had been a chore to adjust to the bloodlust but he was nothing but a perfectionist. He took being a vampire as a challenge, he had mastered the bloodlust in a month and with his newly found reflexes he had turned into a deadly opponent. The Death eaters found out about his living status when he fought Bellatrix, him killing her was a huge blow to the Dark forces.
He had been a great support to her in the past years, after the deaths of Remus and Tonks she had taken the responsibility of raising baby Teddy. The toddler knew her as his only parent figure. Andromeda had died a year before. She had passed away in her sleep.
Severus and Sirius were all she had along with Teddy, the war had strained her relations with the Weasleys, death of Fred had made Ron resentful and angry, he could no longer look at her without having rage in his eyes. In his hatred he had ignored Hermione and that made her resentful. After years of tip toeing around one another they finally kiss but she ruins their chance by letting the Dark Lord escape.
‘I want to leave. This place eats me now. For all intents and purposes the three of us are immortal, soon he public will recover and the cotton headed heads of the Ministry wold demand that our powers be sanctioned. I want to take teddy and the two of you and leave.’
‘But what about your friends? Wont you miss them?’ asked Sirius.
‘I will miss Luna and Neville but they can always visit. Siri, I have grown closed to Draco and Narcissa over the years, he was bitten by Grayback to punish Lucius for deserting them at Hogwarts and he had his vampires to change Narcissa, I took him and Narcissa in after he died at the hands of Voldemort. They are staying here as well. I know he too would be receptive of the idea of moving away from Britain with us.’
‘Ok, we will get back at you being close to Draco but what do you mean that I am immortal?’
‘I don’t know but your aura is the same as a person who is touched by death. It is same as mine. Let me try something.’
She takes his hands in hers. Closing her eyes, she focuses on his magic on his soul.
His soul is the same bright colour as it should be but it is tinged with a deep purple colour, swirls of blue mixed with the gold of the soul. She tried to reach that purple colour when she was assaulted with the images, in rapid progression she saw a man, he had the same black curls as Sirius, he was holding a glass of deep red wine.
Dionysus.
‘You are blessed by a God!’ she exclaimed.
‘What? Which one?’
‘Dionysus.’
At that Severus let out a snort of laughter.
‘Why is that funny?’ Sirius asked.
‘Of course, you are blessed by the God famous for turning mortal insane.’ he quipped.
‘What?’
‘Dionysus is a Greek god; he is a son of Zeus. He is the God of wine and madness; he had the power to transform into animals. It is not only you but your entire bloodline that is blessed by him. You were in the veil where for all intents and purposes you were dead but now that you are out it seems that Dionysus had transferred his godly status and powers to you, the last male of the bloodline blessed by him.’
‘But... but what does it mean?’
‘It means, congratulations you are a God now.’
Severus not being able to help himself let out a groan.
‘Now all the mutt will do is introduce himself as a God.’
All three of them let out laughs at the thought. It was very likely that a de-aged Sirius Black who looked like he was twenty-six years old would go up to women introducing himself as the God of Wine.
‘Are you sure, you want to leave?’ Sirius asked.
‘Yes. I had it planned before I went to fight Voldemort. All that is left is for you to pick yourself up and for us to leave.’
‘We leave now?’
‘The less people who know about your return from the dead the better.’
‘What about preparations?’
‘Draco and me have been preparing for a year now. We have employed goblins to invest in various muggle operations, Draco had been taking business law classes in Oxford. I know! I was surprised as well. Almost all our gold in converted into muggle money. With the Malfoy, Black and Potter account along with all the royalties Severus has from his potions businesses we are probably the richest family on earth.’
‘I can't believe you think of the Malfoy as family.’
‘We will all share a family name Sirius; I suggest you get all of your wise cracks out of the way before you see Draco and Aunt Cissy.’
‘She lets you call her Cissy?’
‘Of course. She is extremely fond of me. Draco says it is because she always wanted a daughter and I am the closest thing she has to one.’
‘Yay, we will be a happy family of immortal beings. Where will we go?’
‘We will go to America. Draco has set up his office in the city of Chicago but we will not live there. The city is huge and it would be impossible for him to change during the full moons. We will go to Chicago first and then we will fly to our new home.’
‘Where is our new home?’
‘In a small town called Mystic Falls. It's in Virginia, Potters have a huge mansion there, the backyard extends into the forest. The house has Cissy’s approval. It is huge, three floors, a ballroom, three studies, a potions lab for Sev, ten bedrooms and a swing set for Teddy. It is a small town; it should be peaceful to stay there. I can use some peace.’
‘When do we leave?’
‘Tomorrow.’
