ALEX BLACK

Reunion and Tales

A morning in the Potter Manor was not quiet.

''GET UP EVERYONE IT'S ANOTHER BRIGHT DAY!!!LET'S BEGIN OUR ADVENTURE!!!''A man with extremely messy black hair and hazel eyes,screamed from bed.

''Shut up James!''A redheaded-woman responded from beside him.

''I know Lily-flower but to get the sleepy head son of ours to get out of bed that's the best idea'' 'James'responded.

Just then a miniature form of James who looked like he was 13-years old ran into the bedroom in his pajama's.He didn't stop there and tackled James back to bed starting a wrestling match.

''I'm gonna make breakfast.When all this is over you can come down to eat.''Lily said leaving the room quickly.

After a successful match for the little messy haired boy,the couple's son,Harry;The duo made their way to breakfast.

Lily had her hair up in a messy bun and was making pancakes for breakfast with their house-elf Pinky.James and Harry sat down on the table 'wolfing' down each pancake Lily and Pinky gave them.

''Lils, Pinky these are amazing!''James exclaimed.''I know I made the right choice marrying you''

''Who me or Pinky''sassed Lily.All of them burst-out laughing except James who grumbled something along the lines of 'being out-sassed by his wife.

''Dad,Mum can i go visit Ron?''Harry asked his mother once his laughter had subsided.

''I think so''they replied.

Harry finished his breakfast and bidding goodbye to his parents floo-ed to the Burrow to visit his friends.

Just then the doorbell rang.

''I'll get it''said Lily''Just make sure these don't burn''she added pointing to the pancakes.

Lily walked to the door and opened it revealing a tall, worn-out still handsome man with long curly hair and stormy grey eyes.On his shoulders was a teenage girl who was an exact replica of the man except for her eyes which couldn't be seen as she was asleep.

Lily was stunned to silence at the sight of the man whose face was ever-so familiar even if she hadn't seen him for over a decade.

He grinned sheepishly at her saying''Hi Lily!''

She let out a single word.''Sirius''

On the otherhand,James upon being confused as to why Lily hadn't yet returned had decided to check on her.

He too was absolutly gobsmacked at the sight of the man.No. His best-friend,whom he considered his brother.It had been more than 12 years since he had seen this goofy grin.To say he had missed him was an understatement.

Sirius saw the messy-haired man in the doorway and immediately memories came flooding back.

James  immediately ran forward to tackle his brother from another mother into a hug, but stopped seeing the sleeping girl on the shoulder.

Sirius was more than happy to see his honorary brother coming to tackle him.God,he missed that.But as an afterthought he considered his sleeping daughter on his back an decided it was a bad idea as she had had a rough time.He quickly shot a warning look at James who immediately stopped in his tracks.

Both of them had goofy grins on their faces which were wider than humanly possible.

Lily remembering the sleeping girl beckoned Sirius inside to the guest room,where he laid his daughter gently onto the bed.Sirius gently covered her with the blanket and placed a kiss on her forehead.

Anyone could tell he loved his daughter more than anything in the whole wide world.

The trio walked to the living room,which upon entering,James screamed''Sirius!!!!'' and tackled said man to the floor.

Sirius was never more happy to be tackled to the ground.

''I missed you so much'' 

Sirius got off the floor and gave Lily a hug whispering in her ear''It's so good to be back!''

''So tell me everything!How are you?Alexandra?Rory?''Lily asked settling down on the table beckoning the men to join her.

''First let me see my godson!Where is he?''Sirius asked hurriedly trying to avoid Lily's question.But James could always see through his best mate's mask.

''Harry's at the Burrow visiting Ron,his best friend''said James.''Sirius tell me whats wrong''

''She's gone James!Rory's gone!She died five months ago!Death-Eaters!''Sirius burst out before whispering''That's why I came''

The couple were shocked.Horrified.Aurora had been a sister to them.Always cheerful and happy.She was special to each of them in a different way.To Lily she was a friend whom she could share anything with and vice-versa.They had a very thick friendship.They were mostly seen together.To James she was a sister he never had.He had threatened Sirius when he had started dating her that if he was going to hurt her, he'd have to deal with him.They were all a big happy,fun,goup.James,Sirius,Remus,Lily and Aurora.

They were heart-broken from the news.Lily was sobbing while James was so close to tears.They hugged Sirius who by now was crying.

''How are you holding up?''asked James.

''I'm doing good, but Alex isn't.....That's why I came''   Lily asked him to go on.

''She was there.She saw Rory being tortured.Rory had placed a silencing charm on her, so she was safe.I should have been there,I could have protected them.Alex hasn't been herself since.I mean I know her.She is the same witty,sassy sarcastic,reckless.A lot like myself.But I can see she is wearing a mask.Locking away all her emotions.I'm afraid she'll break one day.Burst out.I'll take care of her.But she is a teenager.She needs a mother-figure in her life.You're the only one I could think of,Lils.And back in India,she didn't have many friends,so I figured Harry could be one.And I need all of you for myself and taking care of her.So I didn't care about the prophecy I came straight here.''

By the time he finished the trio were in tears and James had Sirius in another tight hug.
