In 12 Grimmuald Place, I was packing up my things for Hogwarts. I still thought about what my mother said to me. It distracted me as I put my things in my suitcase.

Eventually, I slammed my suitcase close and sighed. I sat on the ground, next to my bed. I looked down at the ground.

"Aurelia, I want to show you-...are you alright?"

I looked up to see Remus. "Yeah, I'm...I'm fine", I said. I lowered my head and didn't say anything else.

Remus came into the room. He sat next to me. "I wanted to show you this", Remus said. I looked at him. He gave me a picture.

I knew who the 3 people in the picture were. It was Uncle Sirius, Remus and my Dad.

"Was my Dad apart of the Order? During the first Wizarding War?" I asked.

"He was. So was your-" I looked at Remus with a stern look. "Your family member who shall not be named".

A small smile appeared on my face. I looked at the picture. I looked at my Dad. I really wish I had gotten to know him.

"5 months before you were born, your parents asked me to be your Godfather", Remus said.

I looked at Remus with surprise. "They did? What did you say? Are you my godfather?" I asked.

"I told them I wasn't the right person. If anything happened to them, I was not fit to raise a child. I'm dangerous", Remus said. "Your father told me that there was no one else he trusted more. He told me his children would be lucky to have me. I was afraid I'd be a danger to you and your sister, but your father never gave up on me".

"Remus, are you trying to tell me that you're my...my Godfather?" I asked.

Remus nodded. I stared at him speechless. I didn't know what to say. I stared back at the picture. Cordelia never told Cassiopeia and I that we had a godfather.

"I wanted to tell you ever since we met, but I thought you were better off without me", Remus said.

"What made you decide to tell me?" I asked.

"Your father wanted you to know that you will always have a home".

I looked at the photo. My father, Sirius and Remus looked happy. I wondered if I would ever be that happy.

Why did Hogwarts suddenly feel so gloomy? Maybe, it was because of Cedric's death. It maybe it was because of our new Defense Against The Dark Arts teacher, Dolores Umbridge.

Whatever the reason, it felt depressing and gloomy. I was suddenly distant from Harry. He was suddenly distant from Ron and Hermione.

I joined Ginny and Neville in the Great Hall. We were studying in silence until I said, "I was reunited with 'Mother of Abandonment' Adolpha", I said.

"Are you alright?" Neville asked. I shook my head.

"She's the reason why I have trust issues. What if she tries ruin my life? Or worse, what if she tells Umbridge what I am?" I asked.

"Even if Umbridge does find out, I don't think you have anything to worry about. It's not like she can have you expelled", Ginny said.

"No, but she still works for the Ministry. And if they find out what I did to Cassiopeia, they'll see me as a threat. And then...I don't know what will happen", I said.

"Explain to them that you're not a threat", Ginny said.

"It's not that easy. The Ministry isn't understanding", I said.

As I was about to get up, I saw Luna Lovegood sitting next to me. "L-Luna", I said.

"You seem distressed", Luna said.

"If you heard our conversation, I think you know part of the problem", I said.

I spotted Draco Malfoy walking out of the Great Hall. I looked at my friends. "I'll be right back".

I got up and ran to Draco. I caught up to him and walked by his side. "Hey", I said.

"Adolpha. What do I owe the pleasure?" Draco asked.

I rolled my eyes. "I didn't realize we were friends now", I said. "I have a few questions for you. First question, did you happen to know that we're related?"

"Yes. I also know Cordelia, Sirius and Regulus are siblings. You're Cordelia's daughter. And Sirius Black is your Uncle", Draco said.

"Shh. Not so loud", I said. "I think you already know that my Uncle was framed. No one else knows. Until we can get his name cleared, no one can know".

"Alright", Draco said.

"Secondly, do you happen to know anything about my father?" I asked.

"All I know is he was a Halfblood and he was close with both your uncles. I don't know a name or anything", Draco said.

I wonder if my dad was friends with James Potter.

"Is that all your questions?" Draco asked. I nodded. It wasn't all that I wanted, but it's better than nothing. "Listen, I know you disappear a lot. Whatever you're up to, don't let Umbridge know".

"I know", I said.

I walked away to rejoin my friends.

Later that day, I came to Harry's room after hearing about his detention with Umbridge from Hermione.

Harry was alone in his room, so I sat next to him. "I heard about what happened", I said. I looked at Harry's hand. Scars wrote 'I must not tell lies' across hand.

"May I?" I asked, gesturing to his hand. Half of me expected him to pull his hand after, but he rested his hand in my palm.

I bandaged up his hand. It was clear that Harry was traumatized by last year's events. He shouldn't have to go through this. No one should.

"I know you don't want to talk about last year, but Ron, Hermione and I are here for you. You're not alone. You may be feeling that you're alone, but you're not", I said.

"You don't understand, Aurelia. You weren't there when Cedric died. You weren't there when Voldemort returned", Harry said.

"You're right. I wasn't, but I know what happened had a huge effect on you. You're in some sort of depression. Believe me, pushing your friends away isn't going to help".

I stood up and stepped in front of Harry. "You want people to know how Cedric died. You want to make sure his death wasn't in vein. I think that's great, but I think in order to Cedric, you need to help yourself first".

Without another word to each other, I walked away.

A few weeks later, I came into class. In every class, Umbridge was...inspecting teachers.

In Potions class, I sat next to Ron. We listened to Umbitch and Snape.

"You applied first for Defense Against the Dark Arts. Is that correct?" Umbridge asked.

"Yes", Snape said. Was it just me or does Snape sound like he hates Umbridge more than he hates Harry?

"But you were unsuccessful?" Umbridge asked.

"Obviously", Snape said.

Me and Ron chuckled. When Umbridge left, Snape hits Ron in the back of the head with a book. I chuckled until he hit me in the head as well.

I still don't regret laughing.

And 2 days later wasn't the best for me. Umbridge had called me to her office.

She had me sat at a desk with a parchment of paper in front of me. She laid a quill in front of me and told me to write Black Soul.

I was confused, but I did it anyways. I suddenly felt a sharp pain on my hand.

I looked at my hand. "Black Soul" was being engraved into my hand.

"I know about your connection to Sirius Black and I know you know his location", Umbridge said with a fake smile.

"I don't know what gave you that idea", I said.

"You know what I don't like, Miss Adolpha? Liars", Umbridge said. That fake smile that I hate was still on her face.

"Look, I don't know. And even if I did, I wouldn't tell you", I snapped.

Umbridge slammed a fist on the table. Her fake smile had disappeared.

"I could have you sent to Azkaban. I could put you in your Uncle's old cell. Or I can let the Dementors take care of you. I'll see what your Uncle thinks about that after I find him", Umbridge threatened.

"That's enough!"

I turned around to see Professor Snape, Professor Mcgonagall and Professor Dumbledore.

Professor Mcgonagall waved me over towards them. I ran towards them. I wrapped my arms around Mcgonagall. She returned the hug.

As I hugged Mcgonagall, I looked at Snape. I think this is the second time this year that I'm relieved to see him. He looked at me to see relief on my face.

"Aren't you aware that I am High Inquisitor?" Umbridge asked.

"I am very well aware. Just as you are well aware that Aurelia Adolpha is an innocent student and her family does not define who she is?" Dumbledore asked.

"You would let that child into your school?" Umbridge asked.

"Yes, I would. Now, Aurelia is not her Uncle or her Mother or her Father. She is not going to Azkaban", Dumbledore said.

Dumbledore and Snape walked out the room, followed by me and Professor Mcgonagall.
