Pairing: SB/OC
Disclaimer: Not mine, except *poor* Soemy



Both were sitting at the table in the old kitchen. Or better: Sirius was sitting at the table. The girl was crouched down in his lap, arms wrapped around his neck, her right hand in his hair. She was sig sog softly to him while Sirius’ hand rested on the small of her back. Then they hear footsteps from the corridor and separated quickly from each other, both taking sits on the opposite sides of the table. Mrs Weasley went through the now opened door pushing in Harry, straight from the Dursleys. Sirius rose from his seat and wrapped Harry in a big hug, then waved a hand towards the girl still sitting at the table. Harry gave her a puzzled : sh: she was stunning. Long, dark, wavy hair, red lips and icy blue eyes, a bright smile on her face, she was now walking towards him holdin’ out her hand.
-She’s Soemy- told Sirius – kinda new arrival. You’ve never heard ‘bout her, don’t you?-
Harry shook his head, knowin’ not what to say.
-Well, we met ‘bout two years ago and I didn’t know she was a witch. She didn’t tell me anything until, months ago, Dumore ore came here with her: It was quite a shock.- he paused for a momen-Now-Now, Harry she is Soemy and Soemy he’s Harry. I’m his godfather.- the girl nodded
-Hi Harry, nice to meet you- said with a cheerful voice.
-It’s nice to meet you too- was Harry’s reply. Sirius smiled really pleased, then turned back to face his godson:
-I think you’re pretty tired. Fly on a broom by night is not really relaxing at all.-
-You’re right. But first of all I..er..I wish to know what the hell is goin’ on. And what’s that “Order of the Phoenix”?- asked Harry. Before Sirius could speak, Mrs Weasley has grabbed Harry’s shoulders urging him towards the door.
-Now you have to sleep a little. Then you’ll speak with Sirius. Harry listen to me please- she added when Harry has tried to protest –You’re tired. You need some sleep. Refresh yourself, then you can get a grip of the situation.- the boy nodded, not really convinced at all, and Molly took him to the room he have to share with Ron.
-Nice lad your godson- said Soemy curling a lock of her dark hair around her finger.
-I’m pretty proud of him- Sirus replied. He stood silent for a while before considering
-He reminds me of his father-
-James?-
-Yeah. Well, he was my best friend until..- The sentence died in his mouth. Soemy grab his hand squeezing it gently.
-We have to go- she said then looking down at her watch –The meeting is starting I think-. Sirius nodded and the both of them left the kitchen.


The meeting was quite stressing. They talfor for hours and hours, the anguish was growing more and more. It seems to be nobody can find answers to all the questions Vodemort’s return thrown upon them. Where was he? What was he doing? What his weapon of choice will be now? Sirius can see Soemy’s distress written in her icy eyes. She wasn’t used to those arguments. She had opened her hearth to Sirius, telling him she was not in the magic community during the war against Voldemort. She only knew about the facts when she returned from his journey in France, a year later Voldemort’s fall. She took place next to Sirius every meeting and, as they talked about strategy and plans, Death Eaters and forbidden curses, Soemy grabbed Sirius’ hands in hers squeezing them in pain more than often. After professor Snape had reported his news they concluded the meeting, than tiptoed to the kitchen. Soemy deviate for her room, looking for clean clothes for dinner. She selected a red dress instead of the black one she was wearing, tied her hair into a rebel braid then scooted downstairs. The room was filled with laugh ad scent of food. Harry, with a sleepy expression, sat between Sirius and Remus Lupin, in front of him sat Mad.-Eye. She waved her hand to cheer her friends before sitting between Nymphadora Tonks and Ginny, enjoining a silly conversation about Tonk’s hairstyle. They were all eating and chatting ,Sirius and Soemy occasionally glancing at each other. God, she felt so safe here! People care her her a great deal..like she was of the family. While the dinner was close to the end, people feeling more relaxed and drowsy, Harry’s attention was captured by something shining near Soemy’s neck.. It was a little, silvery line quite like a tattoo.
-Nice tattoo- Harry said. Soemy gave him a puzzled look. Or better: gave him a look that was between a puzzled and a fearful look. Then she gave a little smile, not the cheerful one of the very morning, than asked someone to pass the bowl of the fruit. There was no question that it was a method to put this conversation to an end, and no one else bothered to gave him an explanation. The first day after Harry’s arrival passed. The next one and the whole week was dedicate of the cleaning of the house, in order to make it suitable for all of them. The house was full of many odd and ancient things, objects that Sirius wanted to thrown directly in the paper basket. They found also a Boggart, moths and gnawings, and spent all their afternoons washing and disinfesting several rooms up and down in the house. After the dinner Soemy offered to show Harry, Ron and Hermione some of her school’s books she had keep and some of the ones she used while studying Psychology in a muggle university. She left the kitchen, leaving them waiting for her but she didn’t come even after a half an hour later.
-What the hell it’s happen? – barked Sirius to no one in particular.
Mad-Eye moaned while his electric-blue eye was skipping from side to side.
-Oh My…- he yelled –Sirius, Remus hurry up!- Moody was hobbling towards the stairs, closely followed by Sirius, Remus and the three Gryffindor. They come to a door, wands ready as they approached. Moody opened the door, the scene they found in the room quite unbelievable.
A very little boy was laughin’ next to Soemy’s body. The child was quite strange: he has an evil smile upon his face, black and messy hair and his skin silvsilver coloured. The girl was lying flat on her back, her skin covered with sweat and her body twitched.
-What the hell..- whispered Sirius
The silvery child started to cry, screaming out loud
- EmDee..why did you leave me? It’s your entire fault…they kidnapped me EmDee..you told me you love me but you’re a liar..- She gave him a feverish look, her coughs so deep that she seems to be choked by them. They watched the scene for a moment, the words incomprehensibl the them:
-Riddikulus!- bellowed Mad- Eye. The child gave him a furious look before disappearing in a cloud of silvery smoke. Suddenly Soemy’s coughs stopped, but she was still pale and twitching; Sirius curled down to her and lifted the girl in his arms
-Don’t believe him please – she murmured in an utterly tired voice –it’s not my fa. pl. please – then she swooned. Mad-Eye replaced his wand in his robes while everybody were looking at him
-Take the girl into her room. She needs to sleep- he said to Sirius
-But..-
-No buts! Take her to sleep and then we’ll have a chat. Don’t be pid-pid- he muttered.

Sirius was slowly tiptoeing to the kitchen. The low drone of the lamp near Soemy’s bed lulled his thoughts while he was watching her sleeping, her breath regular and her cheeks turning pink as usual. When he approached the table Mad-Eye and Lupin were crouched on a book, reading something and talking animatedly.
-So?- asked the wizard to tair air in front of him
-So..oh sit down boy! You’re like a lion in a cage! calm down for a moment!- bellowed Mad-Eye
-Then..- he continued – as you’ve seen that was a Boggart. Now there are two different kinds of Boggarts: the common one and the type you’ve had the “pleasure” to meet. It’s a very rare case to meet one: they show themselves only if they find a person who suffers a great sorrow, or have a remorse. They can play with their victim’s feelings and memories, driving them insane in the worst case.
-This means that Soemy..-
-She’s suffering. Her sorrow is strong enough to encourage the Boggart..- whispered Lupin. Then he turns to Sirius –Did she told about..er..about..her problems maybe?-
-No- he shook his head
-Well, I need to talk to her- said Mad-Eye as he rose to his feet.
-You’re a fool!- Sirius tried to keep his voice in a moderate tone –She was lying on the carpet,nearly close to lose her mind some minutes ago..rings any bell?-
-Don’t be stupid. If your memory serves I was the one who saw her- said Moody, then shrugged his shoulders and wa off off the kitchen.
