The New Beginning

Chapter 5

I'm standing in the room with the black family tree, it was always so mean. How his mother treated him awfully and how he still wanted to fight for his brother.

"I can't understand why you don't want to wear it, Ronald."

"I look like a bloody idiot, that's why."

"No more than usual, Ron."

They're coming down the stairs and I smile at Harry. He slowly walks in and I frown.

"I don't know why..."

He steps in and kretcher makes himself known.

"Nasty brat, standing there as bold as brass. Harry Potter, the boy who stopped the Dark Lord. Friend of Mudbloods and blood-traitors alike. If my poor mistress only knew."

"Kreacher!"

"That's enough of your bile. Away with you!"

"Of course, master. Kreacher lives to serve the noble house of Black."

He walks out as Sirius comes down the stairs. I smile at the older guardian as he looks at me.

"Sorry about that. He never was very pleasant,
even when I was a boy. Not to me, anyway."

"What, you grew up here?"

"This is my parents' house. I offered it to Dumbledore as headquarters for the Order.
About the only useful thing I've been able to do."

He walks in and I keep my voice quiet. This is Harry's time to learn about his family.

"This is the Black family tree. My deranged cousin. I hated the lot of them. My parents with their pure-blood mania."

He points to his name and I frown, I feel bad for him. No one should be treated like that especially not from you're parents. I'm always thankful that my mother or father never treated me like that.

"My mother did that after I ran away. Charming woman. I was 16."

"Where did you go?"

"To your dad's."

"I was always welcome at the Potters'."

He looks at me for a second and smiles.

"And the rosewoods, I see them so much in you two. You are so very much alike."

I love my father but it still kind of hurts to talk about him. I wrap my arms around Sirius neck and smile, I kiss his cheek and pull away. I walk over to Harry and squeeze his shoulder. I step away from the room and make my way to the kitchen.

"I can't do this, I keep telling myself that I'll be able to kill him and still be alive but everyone knows that when I kill him I'll die."

"Alexis are you alright"

I look up and see hermione, I smile at her.

"I'm alright what's wrong."

"It's almost time to go, I was coming to grab Harry but I seen you in here."

"I'll go get him, you go ahead and say bye to everyone."

She smiles and walks off, I make my way back to that room. I smile at the boys and I see these becoming close.

"Harry, time to go."

They walk over to me and I grab Harry's hand.

"When all this is over, we'll be a proper family. You'll see."

He hugs Harry and then me, I smile. I pull away and look up at him.

"Tell Remus I said I love him. Don't let him be by himself anymore please."
