A woman nearing thirty years had enough of her life. As she hung herself, she expected a fall and indeed she fell through pitch black.
At the end of the fall, she expected hot burning flames of hell or sweet smelling wet soft grass of heaven. Of co...
Sirius looked up and found he was alone. He closed his eyes and smiled at the thought of being with Harry. He will ask Dumbledore at next meeting.
He wondered if Harry would like Ara. Of course, anyone would like her. He felt a slight prick at his heart as he thought of her beautiful eyes looking at him with fear.
He walked in to his room to finally get some sleep. After a few seconds, or so it seemed, Sirius was woken by the lovely voice of his darling mother. Half asleep, he cursed with no filter as he ran out to shut the portrait.
Turning around, he saw Ara with her eyes wide on one side and a flustered certain Molly Weasley next to her.
" Sorry, Sirius, Hello Ara dear. Am Molly. Molly Weasley. Am sorry we scared you. But my kids are... "
Molly was cut off by Sirius" Come off it Molly. It was none but my mother's fault. We're happy you are all here." he grinned.
" you know me? " Ara asked quietly. " of course dear, Albus told us all about you. And I told the kids you are part of the family now. That's all they need to know. But am Molly and my husband... " " Arthur. Of course. Am sorry, Mr and Mrs Weasley. How could I not know about the first people who gave Harry a home " Ara was smiling broadly. " Oh darling, you really are a sweety " Molly's eyes glistened. Just then a bunch of red heads entered the room. The eldest of the group said," and please, it's Molly and Arthur dear. No formalities. Now kids, introduce yourself, will you? "
" Clever one dad, guess she wouldn't know that you can't tell us apart " one of them grinned." well the jobs on us now "the other smirked. " Gred - " one said" & Forge" other said "at your service, lovely lady" they finished together and stepped up to a deep bow together. Suddenly Ara tensed and took a few steps back. Sirius noted this and a pang of guilt flashed through him. Quickly she composed herself and gave them a smile. "Am Ron" the remaining boy called out from behind. This time Ara had a genuine smile " hi Ron" she said.
" How can I help you with anything Molly?" she asked the witch. "oh nothing dear, we'll just get the kids settled and then work on lunch." okay, I will wait at kitchen. Am... Er.. Not familiar with the cooking style here. Can I get you all anything to drink? Coffee? Tea? "" nothing dear, I will come now. Don't stress " The women smiled at each other.
Sirius looked at her and noticed that she had changed into some black pants and a white loose shirt. She looked very pretty. Sirius could not hide his curiosity and he asked" where did you get that dress?"
The smile was suddenly replaced with fear as her gaze dropped to the floor "Kreacher gave me" she mumbled.
"Well I surely underestimated Kreacher. He did know how to make you prettier " a voice came from the other side. " Remus... " her whole face lit up. " how are you? Come let's get some hot chocolate " she dragged the werewolf to the kitchen. Remus laughed and waved Sirius to join them. Sirius huffed but trailed behind. She continued to Remus" and the dress is my choice OK. Kreacher asked me what I wanted and I thought since am stuck here why don't I get some nice clothes? " she grinned mischievously.
