Amelia woke up to the loud yelling coming from downstairs she glanced her the wall cloak which showed 11 in the morning. She groaned going inside the bathroom quickly getting ready to spent the day with her father.

She descended downstairs to find her father yelling at the house elf and throwing utensils at him. The elf too replied back snarling something about his mistress and her pride and name.

"Dad" Amelia yelled from the stairs gaining both of theirs attention. She ran downstairs towards her father.

"What is this happening?" She asked furrowing her eyebrows at him, she noted sirius hesitated a bit before answering.

"This elf was talking nonsense about you" Sirius said glaring at the tiny creature.

"He barely knows me what would he be talking" Amelia asked her eyes jumping from her father to the elf and then back to her father.

"I would rather not say that" Sirius said causing Amelia to roll her eyes.

"I didnt knew everyday i will wake up to this" she said shaking her head.

"I am sorry Amelia, i will soon get rid of him, come lets have breakfast together" Sirius said pulling his daughter to the dining table.
They both had breakfast in peace slightly talking about the current affairs in the daily prophet.

"By the way i didnt actually tell you the exact reason to why i ran away from spinners end" Amelia said remembering timidly.

"I knew there was something else, please enlighten" Sirius said sipping his juice. Amelia told him about everything about how she was leaving all lone for 2 months in Sev's house. He wouldnt let her go anywhere. She also told him about how badly she wants to go to the quidditch world cup.

"I knew snivellus would always remain a git" Sirius muttered bitterly. Amelia controlled herself to not say anything offending. Although Severus had been most of the time mean to her but still he was the one who took care of her not her father.

"Btw a few days ago Harry owled me telling the weasly's have been planning to take all children to the quidditch world cup, i would talk to them for taking you, after all why would my daughter miss it" Sirius said smiling, Amelia reflected the same smile. She was liking it spending time with her father.

"Do they know about you? " Amelia asked refering to the weasly's.

"Yes Dumbledore told them, not many poeple know, only trusted ones" Sirius replied. Amelia nodded.

"Dad?" Amelia said not in the habit of
the word. Sirius hummed.

"I was thinking if you would like to um do something interesting, i mean like changing the home decor of this house, its very gloomy isnt it?" Amelia suggest not sure. Sirius stayed silent thinking, Amelia waited impatiently.

"I think we should, that would be the best thing happening to this house" Sirius said grinning. Amelia grinned back.

The whole day they decided what to do with the house. Amelia felt pure happiness she shared in the moment with her father. She couldnt have been happier. She didnt know the feeling of having an actual father.

The next day the father daughter duo were busy transforming the house despite Kreacher's annoying interference. The elf didnt wanted the house of his mistress changed but Amelia amd Sirius payed no mind to him.

Amelia got herself the room right across her father's. Sirius left a few rooms untouched confusing Amelia. The house was big and had many rooms, all the rooms were huge too. The color of the walls of the house were changed, the furniture was changed and also many other things.

The day was tiring ofcourse, the whole grand mansion changed in a day was a big deal. Sirius ordered Kreacher to prepare food for them, as he couldnt himself because of tiredness.

They had dinner in the new dining room praising each others magical skills. The house looked a lot better much to kreacher's disappointment.

While doing everything Amelia came across a room with R.A.B. written on it she wanted to ask her father about who it was but decided not to because how tired he looked.

Its been a few days since she left Spinners end. She didnt let her mind roam about Sev might be thinking or what he could do to have her back.

Meanwhile in Spinner's end the black cloaked man was pacing furiously in his house. A crumpled piece of paper lying on his desk. With having written:

Catch me if you can Sev or we might meet at hogwarts, and sorry not sorry, bye.

Your awesome niece

Severus tried everything to track down where she could have hone, he tried to contact remus too but couldnt contact the werewolf. He knew there are not many poeple Amelia trusts, either she could have gone to Malfoys or some other slytherin friends. What if she could have gone to the weaslys?

Severus' mind was a mess at this moment. He even told Dumbledore about it but the old man was not that easy to spill out the tea if he knew.

Amelia stood in her balcony watching the world around her house, but no one could see her. The Grimmauld place was protected by magic.

Her eyes darted to the backyard which looked like a total waste land. She sighed exasperatedly how destroyed the house have been for years. An idea popped in her mind.

She quickly ran outside her room to her father's room which was just across hers. She stopped qt the entrance remembering this was jot Sev's house, she shouldn't go inside without knocking. She knocked softly on the door and heard a come in before leading herself in.

She found her father reading a book on his bed. He kept the book aside smiling on seeing her. She approached smiling which indicated him that something was going on in her mind.

"Dad?" She began not very accustomed of calling someone that.

"Yes?" Sirius asked in the same tone smiling.

"Can we go shopping?" She asked raising her eyebrows earnestly. Sirius narrowed his eye at her. What was going on in her mind?

"Um i dont think i should step anywhere in public just yet, dumbledore told me to wait" Sirius said seriously.

"Oh come on snuffles its just a bit of outing" Amelia daid grinning mischeviously. Sirius' face broke into a crooked smile understanding what was she trying to say.

"Fine but i will not wear collar"

A few days later at the diagon alley a teenage witch covered in a black hood was roaming with her black dog. Busy poeple of the diagon alley payed no attention.

"Snuffles we have to go to alchemy shop come" Amelia said as her dog followed her around. Althiugh he too was quite confused why Alchemy. Is she going to turn Grimmauld Place into a chemistry lab.

They stepped in the Alchemy shop as the owner greeted them cheerfully.
Amelia walked around the store plopping up different items in her shopping basket. The dog followed her everywhere much to the owners displeasure.

After having done the shopping Amelia approached the counter to pay for her purchase. The owner eyed her weirdly seeing a teenage witch buying such stuffs.

"Arent you way too young to but such stuffs dear?" The counter lady asked with a odd smile.

"I dont think I have to be of an age to buy these" Amelia snapped at her. The lady stared at her before calculating the price.

"85 galleons" the lady said smiling. Amelia smirked and brought out the koney of her her purse placing it on the counter. The lady eyed her weirdly again.

"Thankyou Come on Snuffles" Amelia fake smiled at the lady before turning and taking her stuffs leaving the store.

Amelia and snuffles found a deserted corner in the alley, looking around making sure no one was there. Once conformed Amelia nodded at snuffles.

Snuffles took this as a indicator of transforming himself into a handsome wizard, the alleged muss murderer Sirius black. He smirked at Amelia before holding out his hand for her to take.

She smiled giving her hand in his so that he could apparate them. Suddenly Amelia felt the familiar strange sickening pull and in a moment found herself standing in front of the house. They stepped in their house still holding hands.

"I bet that lady hated me" Sirius said shaking his head. Amelia snorted.

"I think i will be busy the whole day" Amelia said cheerfully sighing.

"Oh yeah i didnt get a chance to ask what are all these for?" Sirius asked raising an eyebrow at the large shopping bag.

"That is for me to know and you to wait and watch" Amelia said dismissively.

"Fine, i am quite sure it will be harmless" Sirius said sarcastically.

"Harmless and Blooming " Amelia said before leaving for her room.

Next day the whole time Amelia locked her father inside the house, not allowing him to come outside in the backyard. She locked herself out for about 12 hours before coming in all covered up in mud.

"Maybe i would want to know about that" Sirius said raising his eyebrows at the condition of his daughter.

"Tomorrow dad" Amelia sing songed rushing upstairs to her bathroom. Sirius resisted the urge to go outside in the backyard and see what she has done.

Next morning, Sirius heard loud banging on his door causing him to jerk up instantly. He hastily opened the door to find his daughter just woken up.

"What happened Amelia, nightmare?" Sirius asked worriedly. Amelia's breath hitched remembering nightmares, she had not been having them since she arrived here. She shook her head briskly coming out of trance.

"No, just wanted to show you something" Amelia said smiling reaching to hold his hand dragging him downstairs and then leading to the backyard.

"You might want to close your eyes" She said suggestively. He gave her the look before sighing amd closing his eyes.

"Open them once i tell you to" Amelia said opening the door of the backyard and leading him. She held his hand dragging him in the middle of the backyard.

"Okay so open you eyes on the count of 3 okay, 1..2..-- Dad" Amelia said and whined instantly when Sirius opened his eyes right after 2. He gawked at the sight around him.

"Oh my bloody goodness" He said amazed looking around himself. The whole barren land of the backyard was transformed into a full field of flowers and trees. Vibrant flowers, greenery, everything was so peaceful and beautiful. And not just flowers and trees, bushes of different types of herbs.

"How's it?" Amelia asked smiling brightly looking around at her creation.

"Its bloody amazing" Sirius exclaimed bringing his daughter in a tight hug.

"I am glad" Amelia said smiling widely while in the hug.

Pulling away Amelia gave him the tour around the backyard telling him about each and every flower, bush, herb and tree. Also telling how she managed to grow all these overnight.
She told him about some special spells she read in the books in Sev's store.
She smiled weakly to herself thinking maybe Sev would have been proud of her if she did such a thing in front of him.

By evening Amelia said she would prepare dinner from what she had been observing all these days. She kicked Sirius out of the kitchen only allowed Kreacher so he would tell just instruct her from far away. The elf had been a little less grumpy to her these days, realising she is the black heiress and his mistress wouldnt want him to behave in such a way with her.

She decided to make pancakes and managed to averagely do so. She went to the dining room with the half burnt pancakes in her hands she knew they were not as good but now nothing could be done.

She found Sirius patiently waiting on the dining table smiling when he saw her. She timidly when forward pacing the container of pancakes in front of him.

"Well i am waiting" Sirius said grinning at her and the pancakes. She nervously started serving before they heard a loud noise come from the fireplace. Amelia was thankful for a few moments her embarrassment was postponed. 

They both turned to see who was arriving from the fireplace. The flames grew larger before throwing a tall figure of out it with lot of dust.

Amelia furrowed her eyebrows trying to see who it was. The figure slowly stood up started dusting himself until he raised his raised making Amelia halt on her tracks.

All the memories came flooding back seeing him in front of her. Her world stopped around her and vice versa. Sirius was the first one to break the silence by reaching forward and bringing the guest in a welcoming hug.

"Its so good to see you Remus" Sirius said pulling away.
