Adriane was lying in bed groaning from the pain in her head, Somehow she had caught a cold from diving into the black lake in the middle of winter despite all of the warming charms that had been on her persona.

While a normal cold may not have been so bad for some people there was something that happened whenever Adriane got sick ever since she had gotten her blocks off of her.

Whenever she got sick she lost control of her heat vision when she sneezed. Adriane had almost blasted her Godfather into a pile of ash the first time it had happened, He had thought he had done something wrong until Adriane had told her that she was coming down with a cold.

So until Adriane was better the only one who was allowed in her room was Dobby and even then Adriane was always nervous when he was around in case she sneezed while he was in the room and blasted him. The only reason she allowed it was because she couldn't leave her room without risking hurting the others making it so she couldn't get herself any food to eat or even any potions to help her get better even if they didn't really help all that much.

So now she was stuck in bed not allowed to get out unless it's for the bathroom and all she could do was read and do her makeup homework cause school had been back in session before the second task and she was now missing all of her classes cause she was sick so all the Professors, except Snape, had let her friends bring her, her homework so she could do it and let her friends turn it in for her.

So right now she was working on her charms essay on heating charms and she had to bite back the amusement it caused her cause she had already known this stuff before but she was also adding a bit to her essay on how they did not keep you from getting sick when you were forced to dive into a lake in the middle of winter, no matter how many you had on you.

Looking up when she heard a pop she spotted Dobby standing there with a dinner tray with a bowl of soup and some muggle sprite since it helped her when she had been sick before for some reason. Adriane gave Dobby a smile as she set her books and parchment to the side before she froze.

She looked away from Dobby before she let out the biggest sneeze she has let out yet and red laser beams came from her eyes and vaporized her wall leading to the living room showing who was in her living room.

Sirius had been in the living room talking to his Goddaughters group of friends and taking the homework they had brought for Adriane and handed them the homework she had finished when a huge bang happened and they were all covered in dust.

They all slowly turned to look at where the wall had once been to see a shocked looking Dobby and a sheepish Adriane who was blushing from embarrassment.

Pretty soon Neville started to laugh setting off the twins to join and soon they were all laughing at the sight of Adriane looking far more sheepish and embarrassed than a person had any right to look when they had just destroyed a wall without meaning to with red lasers that had come out of their eyes.

"Adriane if you had wanted to see us so bad you could have just told Dobby!" Neville said setting off a new round of laughter that even Adriane joined in. "But then I wouldn't have been able to see the shocked look on all of your faces! Even Luna had looked shocked!"

They all laughed until the room fixed the wall, Adriane had told the castle she was sorry for turning one of their walls into dust and she felt a small hum of magic showing that all was okay.

This was what she did for the next few days, Homework and reading while sometimes blowing a hole in one of her walls. It had got to the point where her family was making bets on when the wall would be blown up next

A few days later and Adriane was back on her feet and could go back to class after making her Godfather a promise of taking it easy for now.

Adriane walked into the great hall with her friends and the whole room went quiet and turned to look at her, she kept her blank face up as they went to sit at the Ravenclaw table.

Throughout the day people kept staring at her and she just kept her face as blank as she could because if she didn't she would be glaring at those staring at her and a couple of them were Dumbledore and Snape and while she could get away with glaring at Snape she couldn't at Dumbledore cause then he would want to know what he did wrong to make her glare at him and Adriane couldn't have that, not yet anyway.

Adriane handed in all of her Homework she hadn't been able to hand in before that she had done and sat in the class looking bored but whenever the Professors called her out for it she just repeated what they had just said, word for word and they shut up.

The look on Snape's and McGonagall's faces were pure gold in her mind, she made a note to show it to the others since only Neville was in class with her.

Snape glared at her and you could see he was itching to do something more than the twenty points He took from Gryffindor for as they said it, Repeating what I have already said. This caused her Dad to start yelling at him while still in her mind so much that she had to tune them out so as not to make their small headache any worse.

With McGonagall, you could see the look of shock on her face that Adriane had actually been paying attention to what she had been talking about so much as to repeat what she had said, word for word. Unlike Snape who took points from her for it, McGonagall awarded her points for it, the same amount of points that Snape had taken to be exact.

All of the Professors bar Snape had stopped calling her out for it within a week of her being back in class cause whenever they did she would just spout whatever it was that they had just got done saying to their amazement.

Snape was the only one to call her out on her board look in class anymore and he could only do that when he was doing a lecture on proper potion prep cause Adriane was always focused on her potion whenever they brew one.

The fourth years had the most Classes on how to properly prep potions than any of the other years in the school and it was unlikely that the fourth years would be making any more mistakes in their brewing, unless it was Ron he always goofed off in class and never paid even the slightest bit of attention in class.

Sometimes Adriane wondered how he had passed the first year since he always had to be badgered into doing his homework and never listened in class.

It had to be Hermione letting him copy her homework it just had to be either that or she was doing the work for him. It could also be that Dumbledore had decided to let him pass regardless of his grades in his classes now that she thought of it.

Why was she even thinking of this Adriane blinked and shook her head to clear it of those kinds of thoughts and started working on the thing that would hopefully give her parents a solid form for at least a little bit.

A few hours later she was standing back from her work and nodded, it was done.

Calling out her parents from her earrings she got to work telling them about what she did for them but stopped when she saw the sad looks on their faces.

"What's wrong? Do you not like it?" Her Mom stepped up closer to her and started to speak "Oh, Honey we're sorry we thought you knew." Adriane had to swallow a few times before she spoke.

She had a feeling that something was wrong and she felt sad for some reason and didn't know why. "Knew what?" Her Dad walked up behind her Mom and placed a hand on her shoulder "Adriane we're only echo's of your birth parents kind of like the magical paintings around your school we can't use this we're sorry"

Adriane had tears in her eyes and ran out of the room to Sirius and jumped on his lap sobbing while he was sitting down. Why was the world so cruel as to give them a tiny sliver of hope that she could have parents that could give her a hug just to ripe that hope away.

Sirius had been reading the profit when he felt someone jump into their lap and heard the sobs of their Goddaughter and didn't even think before wrapping their arms around her and rocking them back and forth trying to calm her down.

He sighed as he heard the heartbreak and sorrow in the sobs and felt the wetness of Adriane tears bleeding into his shirt. It took a bit but he finally got her calm enough to tell him what was wrong and when he heard what it was he closed his eyes and tightened his grip on her letting her cry on him until she tired herself out.

Why was it that when something good happened to Adriane something bad just had to follow to make her miserable again and get rid of all the work they had put into making her be happy and act her real age when around them.

Sirius had no doubt that Adriane was going to be a little closed off for a while after this, they would all need to work hard to get her to open up again. Their little family wouldn't be complete without her, she was the one who had brought all of them together without her they wouldn't have become the first friends and then family they were now.

Adriane had taken a bunch of mix maxed people and brought them together in a way none of them had once thought was posable.

She had given them all a home. A Veela who was disliked by their fellow woman and lusted after by the male's now had true friends who didn't care what she was as long as she didn't try to hurt or betray any of them.

Luna a young girl who most would think was crazy with all of the animals they talked about that most people couldn't see and who seemed to just know things about someone that they would have never told to someone before, Luna a girl who used to be bullied so bad that she would be forced to walk around the castle barefoot cause her fellow Ravenclaws thought it would be funny to steal her things.

Neville who was thought to only be above a squib in magical power wise but was in all really quite strong but was forced to use a poorly matched wand by their grandmother.

Then there were the devil twins Fred and Goerge Weasley. Their Family never understood their love of pranks and their mom tried to change them into her version of her perfect sons even going as far as to destroy anything that they had made for their future shop she finds. Adriane had given them a chance and never tried to change them and even supported their dreams.

And then there was Sirius Black escaped convict, supposed mast murderer, Everyone had known that he was the Potters secret keeper and didn't listen to him not even to give him a proper trial, but Adriane had she had listened to him the person who had supposedly given up her parents, she had listened to him when no one else not even Remus had.

Why was it that this kind, loving, amazing young woman could never catch a break. Why was it that whenever something was going right something had to come along to ruin it.
