in which Sirius discovers he has a sister, who falls in love with an idiot
"If I'm the sun, what does that make you, you're certainly not the moon." He laughed
"Maybe I'm the gravity that holds everything down?" She smiled that self-deprecating...

The Muggleborn
The Same Day
Eridanus sat through dinner without any major embarrassment, other than when Sirius bragged about her intelligence, or when Remus and Ryder made subtle comments about how ahead she was in her studies for never going to Hogwarts. Most of the Weasleys headed to bed, leaving Ginny with Eri in the parlor room, along with Remus, Sirius, and of course, Ryder. Eridanus and Ryder hit it off after the initial awkwardness, they found a good middle ground quickly.
"Hey Star, you've never seen Star Wars right?" They all heard Remus' not so subtle groan from his spot on the couch with Sirius
"Yeah, I haven't, Siri said I should see it too."
"Oh not it, them, they are a whole franchise." Eri's eyes lit up and she moved across the floor to sit next to Ryder as he pulled out a book he had with him. The adults watched them as Ginny, Ryder, and Eridanus rambled about the book the boy brought with him.

"Ginny I think you need to head up to bed." Everyone looked up to see Molly Weasley standing with a small smile on her face as she watched the scene unfold before her. Ginny hugged Eri goodnight and gave nods to Sirius, Remus, and Ryder before following her mother up the stairs. Sirius watched as Eridanus gave a small yawn before asking Ryder more questions about the movies.
Ryder indulged her curiosity and continued to answer her random but wonderful questions. The teens moved onto the other couch in the room and slowly faded from the topic of Star Wars and moved to Hogwarts "I want to go but I've asked Mother, she always said no." Ryder made a face at Eridanus' recreation of Walburga's voice. Sirius and Remus broke from their own conversation and butted into the pair's discussion.
"Eridanus if you want to go to Hogwarts I can find a way to send you," Sirius spoke, getting a shocked looking Eri in return
"You would send me to Hogwarts?" Her voice just loud enough for the animagus to hear her
"Of course, Love. You're my baby sister, I would kill for you, Squirt. This is nothing, trust me, you wanna go to Hogwarts, you're gonna go to Hogwarts." Sirius chuckled as Eri shared a look with Ryder, who the older Black discovered was a total gentleman when it came to Eridanus, respecting her completely.
What Sirius didn't expect was Eridanus trampling him with a hug, mumbling 'Thank you' over and over as he held her close. Having the teen initiate affection was something rare to Sirius, he cherished the moment every moment he could.
"I'm going to Hogwarts! Hogwarts, Ryder!" Eri was excited, to say the least.
"We'll need to send you a letter then Miss Black." Dumbledore's voice cut through the room like a hot knife "That is if you want to be known as a Black?" Eridanus looked up at the headmaster from Sirius' embrace and shrugged, she realized the man wasn't a threat to her, but she wasn't letting her walls down that fast, he was keeping things from the Order, she could tell.
