Hello everyone! I'm Sara! This is my second FanFic and I was proudly sorted into Slytherin! Anyway! This story takes place during the 6th and 7th book. (Mostly 7th) I am writing it from Val's point of view but it can and will change at times. Please enjoy! The first little post is just some basic info you need to know about Val and her friends.
In Memory of Those We Love
Dear Diary...Thing?,
My name is Valerie Rose Black. Daughter of Sirius Black and an unknown mother. My father was killed about two years ago. I miss him dearly but my friends are helping me. Harry is the most helpful. He understands the pain of losing a loved one, since he's lost so many. He let me stay with him over the summer. I stayed for a week or so then moved to Hermione's. I will be ending my sixith year at Hogwarts. I'm scared. And a little excited. Voldemort is strong and Dumbledore is dead. Snape killed him. Or that's what I heard..
I find it hard to leave my beloved school. It's always been my second home. Who know's where we will go next? Dumbledore left Harry a task. One only he and us know about. The five of us are ready to face the world but can we survive?
I have to go now. The ceremony will be starting soon. I don't think I will contiune writing in the stupid journal! It's pointless and a waste.
Yours truely, Valerie Rose Black
I slammed the small book and threw it on my bed.
"Val! Hurry! It's starting soon!" Hermione called from the common room. I sighed and sprinted down the stairs. Hermione looked wonderful. Her bushy hair was curled and she even had a splash of make up. And her black robes were tight but not too tight.
"You look beautiful 'Mione." She smiled and walked out of the common room. I followed.
Harry, Ron and Avery were waiting for us. Ron had to look over Hermione a second time. I noticed how both their faces flushed at the double take. I glanced at Harry and smiled. He smiled back and rolled his eyes. Both Harry and I agreed that Ron needed to man up and ask Hermione out...But I guess now wasn't the best time.
Avery looked at all of us and asked, "Shall we go?" I nodded and looped my arm with her. Being the only Ravenclaw was tough on Avery. I had met her my first year and hoped we would be in the same house. As it turned out, she was a heck of a lot smarter than me and placed in Ravenclaw.
Harry and I had been friends growing up. I had never known my father was his God-father so it took me by surprise when he told Harry.
Just as I turned to look at Harry, Ginny Weasley, walked to Harry. She frowned at me and grabbed Harry's hand. I sighed and faced forward. Ginny and I didn't get along. She thought I liked Harry more than a friend but I only had eyes for one person and one person only.
As we made our way to the lake I scanned the crowd. I didn't see the familiar hair color I was used to seeing. I unlooped my arm from Avery's and stood in front of Harry.
"Where is he?" I asked looking straight at Harry.
"Val, not now. Not here." Hermione pleaded, looking fearful. She knew how I got when I was angry. She had gotten most of my anger after my father was killed. I had felt bad but it was so good to just yell at someone at the time.
I nodded once, indicating that I heard, but I didn't move away from Harry. Ginny watched with a frown on her face. I suddenly realized how close our faces where. Harry's green eyes were starring straight into my brown ones. "He's not here, Val." He stated plainly.
I frowned. Then nodded. I looked at all the people gathring. I saw the white tomb and felt tears come to my eyes. I forced them away. I had already told myself I wasn't going to cry and I was determined to stick with that plan.
Avery, Ron and Hermione lead the way. I fell in step beside Harry. Ginny tensed but didn't say anything. I avoided watching them and my friends in front of me. I took comfort in watching as other witches and wizards made their way towards the lake. Some old, some young and some in between. Everyone had rushed to get a placed to stay at Hogsmead when news leaked out.
The five of us found a seat. I stayed far away from Harry not wanting to get hexed by Ginny. I sat on the end with Avery to my right. Her blonde hair sparkled in the sunlight and made it almost blinding.
The ceremony started and ended. I don't remember much. Just a blur of words and people sobs. I didn't cry. How could I when I was to numb to feel anything? Avery, Hermione and Ginny had cried. Ron teared up but me and Harry stayed strong.
We stood from our seats and made our way back to the castle. Harry told us to go on ahead. He stopped Ginny and they walked back towards the lake. The rest of us made our way to the Astronomy Tower.
Has Valerie met Remus? I think she'd get on with him!
PAMS!!!!

The fire bird sat there looking at me. His eyes were full of pain and grieve. I scratched the feathers on his broad back. He cooed in responce, causing me to smile.
"Hello there pretty boy." I cooed in my baby voice. Fawkes, the phoenix, made a clicking sound with his tounge and I laughed.
Hermione, Ron and Avery were sitting away from me whispering. They thought I couldn't hear them but I really could.
"She mustn't get to attatched to him. Fawkes won't stay with her forever. He will fly away." Hermione was saying.
Ron was agreeing with whatever Hermione said, so he was usless. Avery on the other hand was trying to convince them other wise. "Fawkes would be useful if we ever needed him."
"Avery-" Hermione started but she didn't finish since Harry had just walked in. He looked abashed but ready.
I watched him from the corner of my eyes, still petting the bird. I knew Hermione was probably right, but I couldn't lose Fawkes. Not when everything I loved was leaving.
Harry looked at all of us in turn. He opened his mouth to speak but I shook my head. "Harry I already know what you are going to say. We are going. We already told you this. 'Mione's gettting everything ready, Harry. Face it, you NEED us." I said walking away from the bird and lightly touching Harry's shoulder.
Hermione nodded. "Harry, I've been studing and collecting things that we would need to destroy the Horcruxes."
Harry sighed. "But I don't want any of you to get hurt."

I looked at Harry. "Harry we've had all those times we could have backed out. Left you alone. But we didn't. We stayed because you need us." I smiled softly.
He sighed but didn't say anything.
The next day we left Hogwarts. My heart was torn. I would never step foot in my beloved school again.
Cause I'm just this bored!

Summer With a Twist
The begining of summer was boring and slow. Avery and Mione visit often. Ron stopped by once but that didn't go well. My aunt doesn't truely like my guy friends. Oh well.
I've been packing and reading a lot. Besides my friends visiting I've had other visitors. Two really stood out to me.
My first unlikely visitor was none other than Ms Bellatrix Lestrange. She had stopped by when my aunt was away. She broke in and cornered me in my bedroom. She used the Cruciatus Curse on me, hoping to find out the Auror's plan of transporting Harry. I didn't tell her anything. Bellatrix finally left when she heard my aunt coming home. My aunt found me cowering in my bedroom covered in sweat, tears and blood. I never told my aunt what happened. I didn't want to frighten her.
My next visit was better than the first. I had been walking around Knockturn Alley hoping to find the person I seeked when I ran into someone. I fell and the person helped me up. When I looked at my helper I saw the familiar gray eyes, the pale skin and the snow blonde hair. I swear my heart skipped a beat.
Draco Malfoy looked at me and smiled. "Sorry bout that Black."
"No problem Malfoy." I said grinning. "Where have you been?" I asked as he took my hand and we walked along the street.
"I've been..busy." He said frowing. I didn't like it when he frowned. I wanted him to be happy. Happy because we were together again.
"Busy?" I asked. "Busy how, Draco?"
"It's nothing really." He shrugged and squeezed my hand.
I frowned but said nothing more on the subject. I was lost in thought until he spoke again.
"I missed you Val." Draco whispered pulling me to a stop as he wrapped his arms around me and pulled me close.
"I missed you too." I whispered. Draco leaned in and I felt his lips brush mine but before anything could actually happen we where interupted by my aunt.
Needless to say me and my aunt aren't talking at the moment.
Now it's almost the end of summer and it's time for us to move Harry. We are meeting everyone at The Burrow to prepare and finalize. I quickly grabbed my trunk, owl and broom. I have to fly since I'm not 17 yet and my aunt doesn't have a fireplace!
The fly wasn't that long but I was cold and tired. When I arrived to The Burrow I found the Twins, Hermione, Ron, Avery, Fleur, Mundungus, Mr and Mrs Weasley, Bill, Mad-Eye, Kinsgley, Hagrid, Charlie, Tonks and Remus all sitting at the Weasley's table.
"When you're gone
The pieces of my heart are missing you
And when you're gone
The face I came to know is missing too
And when you're gone
The words I need to hear to always get me through
The day and make it ok
I miss you"
~When You're Gone- Avril Lavigne
And Now We Wait
(Avery's Point of View)
They were really leaving. I couldn't help but feel scared and worried. I went to my best friend first. I hugged her. "Be safe Val." I whispered.
"I'll be fine Avery." But dispite her brave words she hugged me closer. "Don't let Mrs. Weasley worry too much." She smiled and she turned back to Charlie.
The eldest Weasley looked at me and whispered, "Keep her busy. And don't let her worry." I nodded and moved on to everyone else. I said my good lucks to everyone...Well mostly.
I stopped in front of Fred and grinned. "Be safe." I hugged him and turned to face his twin.
"Come back in one piece." I said hugging him, tightly.
"Is that all you can say? 'Come back in one piece'?" He smiled when I nodded. "I promise." George bent down and kissed me softly.
"Good luck." I whispered before kissing him again, then walking back to Mrs. Weasley. They left and I walked inside the house.
Mrs. Weasley began pacing, holding the clock. I sighed. "Mrs.Weasley? I'm sure they are fine." She didn't seem to notice.
I gave up and went to sit with Ginny. We talked. Portkeys arrived, but without people. Finally Harry and Hagrid where there. I ran to Harry and wrapped my arms around him. "Thank God you're back!"
He looked confused. Ginny walked up from behind me. Harry looked at her and smiled. Not wanting to listen to Ginny explain things to Harry I walked outside to wait.
Another portkey came and I saw George and Remus. I ran to hug George but stopped when I saw he was holding his bloody ear. I was frozen with shock. Remus carried George inside the house. I followed stiffly.
"You promised." I whispered as his mother took care of his ear. He looked at me with a smile. "How can you be smiling?!" But I didn't get my answer 'cause Hermione and Kingsley had arrived.
Soon everyone was here and we were all saddened about losing Madeye. While the others talked I stayed by George's side, holding his hand.
MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!!!!!

Secrets, Lies and Just a Little Bit of the Truth
(Avery's Point of View)
I stood starring at myself in the full lenght mirror. I lifted up my shirt to expose my belly. I placed a hand on it and carefully drew circles with my nails.
There was a tap on my door. I quickly pulled my shirt down and said, "Come in."
George and Fred came in. I smiled at both of them in turn and looked at George. Should I tell him? I thought. No! Wait, Avery! "Yesss?" I asked stretching out the word.
"We wanted to see if you were okay." George said looking at me.
I frowned. "Yeah, why wouldn't I be?"
"Well you just seemed...a little off last night." George muttered.
I smiled at him. "Well you had just got your ear hexed off and Moody's dead. It's kinda a shock to someone who can hardly handle anything that causes pain."
Fred laughed. "Ah yes, Miss Avery is gonna be a natural mother. Dealing with the pain and stress." I felt my muscles tense and I put a hand on my stomach.
"I'm gonna go see if your mum needs help." I mutter and walk down the stairs. I find Mrs.Weasley in the kitchen. SHe looks up at me and smiles.
"Mrs. Weasley.." I start tentivley. Hearing the sound of my voice she stops what she's doing and looks at me. "Please don't hate me." I whimper.
"Dear, why would I hate you?" She ask coming over and hugging me. "You make one of my sons happy."
"I'm pregnet." I whisper, causing Mrs. Weasley to lean closer to hear what I said.
"You're..Are you sure?" I nodded. "Is it George's?" Again another nod. I felt tears coming to my eyes. Mrs. Weasley smiled at me. "Congrats dear."
"Wait..What?!" I asked shocked. "So you don't care that I'm 17 and having a child?" Mrs. Weasley smiled at me and began cooking again. I closed my eyes muttered something like a good bye and left the kitchen.
Valerie was coming down the stairs. She looked me up and down. Her gaze slowed when it reached my stomach. "Hello soon to be momma." She smiled and patted my shoulder.
I stared at her in shock. "How..?"
"It's kinda obvious dear. You might not want to keep touching your stomach. Kinda gives it away." She turned to walk back up the stairs. "Oh! Right! I almost forgot, we are meeting upstairs. We need you." Without another word she walked up the stairs. I followed, still shocked.
Val opened the door to Harry and Ron's room. Hermione was stitting on the floor looking over books as Harry and Ron talked.
"Hey." The three said without looking up. I sat on the floor next to Hermione. Valerie gave me a slight glare but said nothing as she sat on the bed.
"There's only two more days until the wedding, then we can leave." Harry said looking at all of us.
"And one more day until I'm 17!" Val said smiling at Harry. I had almost forgotten both my friends had the same birth day. It wasn't weird just ironic.
Harry grinned back. "Yeah, then the Trace is gone and we can use magic."
Valerie rolled her eyes and glanced at me. "I don't think-" But we didn't get to hear what she said, since there was a loud tapping noise coming from the window. Val ran to get it. She threw up the window and in flew the familiar big red bird. Fawkes. Valerie grinned from ear to ear as the bird perched on her shoulder.
"Val what where you saying?" Hermione asked.
"Oh! I was saying," Another glance at me. "That maybe Avery shouldn't come."
I gasped, looking at my closest and truest friend.
"Now that the weight has lifted
Love has surely shifted my way
Marry Me
Today and every day
Marry Me
If I ever get the nerve to say
Hello in this cafe
Say you will"
~Marry Me- Train
The Guest, The Party and the Question
Val's Point of View)
I looked over at Avery. She was glaring at me. I blinked at her once then turned to face the others. "Well..I was just..Suggesting that maybe she shouldn't come because.." My voice trailed off. I was at a loss for words. I petted Fawkes, as he went to perch on the night table.
"Val's just worried about me. She knows I lack in defensive spells." Avery said smiling at the others.
They looked confused but thankfully Mrs.Weasley called us down. Avery was the first to leave the room. Slowly I followed her walking beside Harry. Mrs.Weasley greeted us warmly and lead us outside.
Fawkes, my new pet..I guess, flew above my head. He cooed every couple minutes or so.
Mrs. Weasley was looking towards the hills. She most have seen our confused expressions cause she quickly said, "Fleur's parents are coming today and Arthur went to get them."
Just as she said this four people were coming over the hill. Fleur let out a squeal of delight as she made her way to her parents.
After indroductions were made we all followed a flustered Mrs. Weasley inside for dinnner. Avery stayed close to Mrs. Weasley and seemed to be avoiding George. I wasn't the only one that noticed her odd behavior, because later that evening George pulled my aside.
"Val, what's up with Avery? She won't let me come near her." He was sad and hurt, yet concered for her.
"I..I um.." I frowned having no idea what to say..Again! So I simply shrugged and walked away. I glanced back just in time to see him walk away, his head down.
Feeling guilty I found Avery and forced her to sit down and talk with me. "Look Avery you're going to have to tell him! It's his child to you know. He has the right to know and look at how much pain you are causing him."
Avery looked closed to tears at my harsh tone but she took at deep breath and nodded. "I know. I think I'm going to go tell him." Carefully she stood and made her way towards the stairs.
As she walked away I made towards the stairs. I was tired and tomorrow was my birthday so I needed to rest.
* * *
By morning I was feeling happy and energized. Avery was still sleeping when I woke so I threw a pillow at her.
"WHAT WAS THAT FOR?!" She yelled when she looked at me. I smiled and hugged her.
"So how did George take the news?"
"Oh I'd say fairly well." Avery said standing and moving towards her trunk.
"Fairly well? What do you mean?"
She shrugged. "Well when I told him he kinda.. sorta fainted. I woke him up and we just talked about it. I told him that I'd be leaving soon and that he couldn't come with me. He asked how long. I told him I didn't know and said I'd be alright. He kissed me and then we just stopped talking and when he fell asleep I left and came down to our room."
"So he's okay that you're leaving with an unborn child?!" Avery nodded. I dressed and made my way downstairs. Hermione was already in the kitchen. She smiled at me when I came in.
"Happy Birthday Valerie." Hermione handed me a wrapped up box. I opened it as I sat down. I gasped in surprise.
"Hermione! Oh gosh. Thank you so much." I looked at the small creature. "But how?" I asked picking up the baby dragon and placing it on my lap.
"Charlie." She answered. "He told me there was an orphaned dragon in need of a mother. I asked if you could have her and he said yes. Mr. Weasley knows about the dragon but no one else. She will stay that size for most of her life so there's nothing to worry about."
"Nothing to worry about?! Hermione it's illegal! What if we get caught!" I whisper hissed.
"So? We are about to go out into the world and face stuff we've never even learned about! And all you care about is some stupid law statig you can't own a dragon!"
I was about to yell back at her when the door opened. Harry, Ron and Avery all came in. "Happy Birthday Harry." Hermione and i said in unison.
"Happy Birthday Val." Ron said smiling. Harry still hadn't replied. I turned to face him.
"Val? What is that?" Harry asked looking at the dragon.
I laughed. "I believe they are called dragons, dear. You know, like the one you faced in the Tournamentt?" I scratched the dragons back. "Hermione gave her to me."
"Hermione?" Ron asked looking from me to Hermione. "But..?"
"What Ronald? Valerie's always wanted a dragon so I got one." Hermione huffed.
Ignoring them I handed Harry my gift in exchange for mine. By the end of break fast I had a charm for my wand (Harry), a book of spells (Ron), a book on magical creatures and plants (Avery), and my new pet dragon. I was happy but still hoping for something to come by owl.
Hermione, carrying my dragon, lead me outside. "Mr. Weasley said we could use the chicken coop." She said as she put the dragon in the inclosed area. "We'll have to come and get him before we leave. We can't just leave him here." I nodded as she began to muttered spells to keep the dragon from escaping.
I walked away from her. Fawkes swiftly flew down from the near by tree. He was carring something in his beak. I took it from him. Slowly I read the note. The name at the bottom made my heart skip a beat. I read the note three more times checking to make sure I wasn't wrong. I glanced back at Hermione before taking out my wand and Disapperating.
I looked at the unfamiliar house and looked around. Draco was waiting for me out front. I smiled as we hugged. "Happy Birthday Valerie." He whispered. "Close you're eyes." I did. Draco took my hand and guided me to wherever we where going.
He dropped my hand. I heard movement. I couldn't help it but I tensed. I didn't like not knowing what was happening. More movement then I heard, "Open them."
I opened my eyes to find Draco on one knee, holding something. "Valerie Rose Black, would you do me the honor and marry me?" He opened the box to reveal a ring. It had a diamond in the center and smaller diamonds all around the band.
I fell to my knees and hugged him tightly. "Yes. Yes of course I'll marry you." I kissed him long and hard.
When we broke apart he put the ring on my finger. "I have to go, Draco. They'll probably be wondering where I am." I smile sadly, kiss him again then Disapperate.
"WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN VALERIE!!! WE HAVE BEEN LOOKING EVERYWHERE FOR YOU!" Harry yelled when he saw me. I hugged him and smiled.
Oh gosh!! Sorry I haven't posted in awhile!
Awwwww Avery is pregnet So cute I love it!!
Whoa Valerie and Draco!!! Aw! He asked her to marry him that's so sweet <333

The Wedding and the Nasty Tale of Truth
Today was the day of the wedding. The big day that everyone was excited about. Well, everyone but me. You see I have an awful head ache thanks to Mister Harry FREAKIN' Potter. The boy had yelled himself hoarse.
I rolled out of bed to find Avery already wearing her cream colored dress and fixing her tangle of blonde waves. "Morning sleepyhead." She said, not turning to look at me.
I mumbled something back and pulled on my gold robes. There were no sleeves on it and was tight fitted at the top but it puffed out after it reached mid-stomach. They reached the ground and covered my feet. I pulled out the golden heels. Fluer had asked my to be one of her bridesmades. I didn't understand why but I agreed, hence the gold.
"You look wonderful, Valerie." Avery smiled when she saw me. "What about your hair?"
I shrugged. "I gonna leave it." Sure it was a little bed ridden but who cared. Everyone was here to look at Fluer not her.
Avery tutted. She came towards me, brush in hand. Next thing I knew she was attacking my head with her brush! I yelped in pain. She whispered sorry every so often then she stepped back to look at me. "I love it."
I frowned and looked in the mirror. My jet black hair was parted so that more hair was on the left side and a beautiful gold clip held the right side out of my face. "I took you all that time, just to do this?" I asked. Avery nodded.
I smiled and walked out of the room, heels clicking on the floor. Hermione, Harry (disguiesed as another Weasley), and Ron were all waiting when I reached the bottom step. Harry and Ron both turned to look at me. I felt my face grow red and smiled.
"Hey guys. Has anyone arrived, yet?"
"Hagrid and some of Fluer's Veela cousins." Harry stated. "Fred's trying to win them over with his 'Weasley charm', or something like that." He laughed.
I grinned but it quickly left my face. I spotted Remus Lupin and Tonks making their way towards us. I quickly shot a glance at my friends before walking away and starting a conversation with one of the Veela cousins.
My mind wasn't really into the conversation, which is why the pretty blonde left me..alone. Thankfully Harry and Hermione came towards me. "You didn't have to walk away from them you know?" Hermione said when they were reached me.
I shrugged. How could I tell them why I didn't like being near Remus? "Val, Lupin looked really hurt." Good! I thought bitterly. He deserves to feel that way!
"Valerie Rose Black! I know there is a story behind this so start telling it." Harry's voice was full of power and it scared me.
"Why?" I lifted my chin stubbornly. I wasn't going to give in! Not yet!
"Because we care about you." Hermione's voice was just a whisper. She too had been scared by Harry's voice.
I sighed. "Promise not to tell anyone?" Okay yeah it might seem childish to have someone 'promise' but so what? They both nodded. "Okay so in our third year, you know when Sirius was on the lose?" Another nodd. "Well I had gone for a walk in the full moon. Remus was changing." I gave a dry laugh. "I walked towards the wolf thing thinking I could help it. You know, I've always loved creatures magical or not. Remus can't controll himself while he's a werewolf and he attacked me. Nearly tore my leg off. Sirius came as his Animangus and he faught Remus. Sirius won." I smiled slightly. "Remus ran into the woods and Sirius carried me back to the school. He told me to tell Dumbledore that he, Sirius Black, had been the one to attack me not Remus. I did as he told, but I could tell Dumbledore knew the truth, though he never said anything."
"But you're not..?"Hermione frowned.
"Not a werewolf?" I guessed. "You are quite right about that. I'm not a werewolf. Remus attacked me when he was half human and half 'wolf. Sirius said I wouldn't turn into a wolf, just be like Bill. Wanting undercooked meat and stuff."
I could see that they wanted to ask more questions but I had to leave and prepare myself to walk down the golden pathway. I stood behind Ginny, waiting. Finally we walked and listend to them say "I do" and all that jazz.
The afterparty. Whoopie! All I wanted to do was take my shoes of and sleep. I was about to escape to follow up on my plan, when I was stopped by Viktor Krum. "Move please."
Viktor just looked at me and smirked. "Vhy vould a beautiful girl like vou be going inside?"
"Because this beautiful girl is tired and wishes to sleep."
He didn't say anything, just took my hand and led me to the dance floor. I didn't protest since my head was throbbing. He put his hand on my waist and held my other hand. Krum looked at my left hand.
"Vhy do vou wear this ring?" I dug my nails into the small of his back. He winced.
"Oh my god! I'm so sorry!" I said looking at him. "This ring is very important to me and you can't tell anyone about it." Krum nodded. " Good."
We were quite as we danced. I looked around and my eyes fell on the silvery aura. It began to take a shape. The lynx opened it's mouth and spoke.
"The minestry's been infiltrated. They're coming." The Patronus disappeared. People were in a panic as they Apperated to safety.
I looked around and grabbed Hermione. "The dragon!!" I hissed. Hermione ran towards the chicken coop. The dragon let out a small cry as I grabbed it.
Harry, Ron and Avery ran towards us. Avery grabbed my hand and before anything could happen the air sucking feeling of Disapperating gripped our group.
The feeling lasted only a second. Next thing i saw was the busy streets if Muggle London.
