| Chapter 3 Christina handed Harry the object.Harry looked at it and the rage inside him began to give way, "You stole this! Where did you get it?!" Christina buckled under his anger for a minute and her weakness made Harry even angrier.Christina composed herself quickly and said, "Do you even know what it is?" Harry gave an angry sort of laugh but then he realized that he didn't really know what it was, "Well.........yeah........but........well........not really." Christina laughed and took it away from him, "Well obviously it's a broomstick.Very old,but it's still a broom. Actually it's your dad's old broom. He gave it to my dad when they got out of school.I don't know if my dad gave yours anything. I thought you should have it. I found it in his house. I don't know if it still works." Harry shook with rage.How could Sirius keep this from him? It was his dad's! Harry came upon the conclusion that Sirius was selfish and inconciderate when Christina said, "So do you believe me?" Harry shook himself awake,"What?" Christina laughed,"Do you believe me?" Harry didn't know what to believe. Sirius' daughter? His father's old broom? None of it made sense,why hadn't he gotten this information before? Christina got up and looked into Harry's face and said, "Do you need more proof?" Harry couldn't think of anything to say so he nodded yes.. She reached into her cloak once more and pulled out a silver box with a gold plate on the lid.Christina handed it to Harry who put his father's broom in his closet.He took the box and stared at it.Christina sat back down on the bed and looked at him, "I wasn't supposed to give you that to you until I thought you were ready but hey? What's the harm?" Harry looked towards her,"Do you know what's in here?" Christina shrugged,"I dunno,My dad told me never to open it so I didn't so it could be anyone's guess I suppose." Christina looked towards the floor,"The last time I saw my father he gave me that.He told me that I was important to him but you were too and that we should stick together if anything happened." Harry saw tears fall to the floor.He was surprised that Sirius' daughter could cry when Sirius normally never showed emotion except anger. Christina continued,"When I was 6 I asked my mother where my father was.She told me he had died a long time ago.4 years ago I found out that he had been held in Azkaban all those years and I hated my mother for lieing to me.I came to England to find him.Luckily I met many Order opperatives and they were looking for me too.My mother had told them I was gone and when they found me,they brought me to my dad." Christina sighed,"I stayed in Grimmauld Place for a whole summer.I learned all the defense my father knew in that time.I'm a very gifted witch you know,I can learn a spell just by looking at the incantation once and when I went home I borrowed books and trained until I knew everything that I could at my age.Whenever I spoke to my dad after that,it was never for long because he was always busy looking for you or hiding." Christina stopped again and wiped her eyes with her sleeves,"One day last year he came to my house.He gave me that box.He told me that just because he loved you too didn't mean he didn't love me.He said that if something should happen to him,I was to find you.My mother included if she were willing,but she wasn't when I asked." "I hated you for so long.I thought you were so evil for taking away my father.But when I rationalized I knew that my father had his reasons.So when my mom told me she wouldn't come,I left for England on my own and made my way to Grimmauld Place.Lupin and Dumbledore were there and they made me feel at home.They come everyday now to bring me food." Harry thought about this and asked the only question that came forth out of all the other ones in his head,"What happened to Kreacher?" Christina thought for a moment,"Oh! The house elf. Well apparently after he learned that Kreacher gave the Malfoys the information about the Order,Lupin,before Dumbledore could do anything,killed him." This didn't really impact Harry much.Kreacher got what he deserved.Sirius was upstairs,last year,when Harry came to check on him to see if he was ok,Kreacher had told him he had left to possibly die and Sirius wouldn't have died if Harry had known the truth. Christina looked at Harry,"I wouldn't have come Harry if I didn't think we should go through this together." |
