September 1989,
Sirius Black's Daughter

The wind hit her face as she spotted her father running through the London street, she smiled if anyone heard her thoughts they would have believed her to be crazy. As her father appeared to be a shaggy black dog, to avoid having to talk to many people, he ran his morning jog as a dog.

Rhea would say she had the best room in Grimmauld Place, she was able to climb out of her window and sit on the roof, staring up at the stars. She quickly climbed back through her bedroom window, before her dad saw her, she hurried back under her covers, hearing Kreacher walking down the hallway, he knocked on her door

"Miss Rhea, breakfast is ready,"

"Kreacher, I'm tired,"

"Maybe Miss shouldn't be on the roof at night,"

"How did you know- never mind, you aren't going to tell my mum or dad are you?" she asked the elf shook his head, she smiled at him.

"Thank you, Kreacher," Rhea showed the house-elf the same kindness that her mother did as a child, while also giving him a hard time, with her antics that could give her father a run for his money. A loud bang from downstairs, caused Rhea to sit up straight

"What was that?"

"Miss Laura, carrying her trunk downstairs, Kreacher offered to help, but Miss did not want my help,"

"Trunk?" she questioned, "Merlin's beard, I'm going to Hogwarts!" she scrambled out of her covers falling to the floor.

She quickly got dressed, she opted for her ripped jeans, and a white t-shirt she ruffled her hair. She liked to look like a rockstar, with messy hair she hurried out of her room running straight into someone, she looked up before apologising to him.

"Sorry, uncle Reg," she said hurrying downstairs

"Rhea, slow down," her mother said, as she ran past her into the kitchen.

"It'll be a lot quieter with her gone," the portrait on the wall muttered, Rhea clenched her fist

"I wouldn't be sure, Hades, Cars!" she shouted, her two loud brothers ran through the house, kicking a football around which bounced off the walls.

"Girls! Ethan, we're ready to go," Sirius called from the front door

"Can't we come?" Hadrian asked, their mother

"We'll behave," Carden added

"Quickly get dressed," Aimee agreed, she shrugged her shoulders at Sirius as they hurried upstairs.

Rhea stood excitedly waiting with her cousins Laura and Ethan. She wrapped her arm around her twin, knowing that she was more nervous than excited about going to Hogwarts, than anyone else. Phoebe would calm down once they were on the train.

The family left for the platform, her older cousin was now beginning his third year, he ran through the barrier, his sister Laura closely behind him. A huge smile grew on her face as Rhea gripped her trolly, running towards the platform.

She looked all around her time had come to go, she had been coming here for three years and it was finally her time to begin her journey. Sirius placed his hand on her shoulder, before having to run after her brothers, without Rhea to give them tips on pranks, they were going to learn just how easily she can get around their father.

"Pheebs, we best find a place to sit," she said, nudging Phoebe to walk ahead with her, they hurried over to Laura, who was standing with Ethan and his friends.

"Come on," Rhea hurried to drag Laura and her sister to the train "BYE MUM, BYE DAD," she shouted.

"Bye sweetie," her mother said, turning to her husband "we're going to get a lot of letters from McGonagall aren't we,"

"She wouldn't be my daughter if we didn't," he smirked

"You shouldn't be proud of that,"

"Oh Aims, you worry too much," he wrapped his arm around her waist, holding his younger daughter Hope's hand.

"They'll be fine, all three of them,"

"How are you so sure, they're all so different?" Aimee asked him, Rhea was their troublemaker, Phoebe was reserved and kept to herself, and Laura was in between, not quite but not too mischievous either.

"Because they have each other,"

"You go and find a compartment, I'm going to find the trolly lady,"

"We haven't set off yet-

Rhea didn't wait to hear her sister's plea to stay with them, she hurried past many other students realising how short she was compared to many other students her age. She found the trolly but there wasn't any lady with it, she looked around no one was paying attention to her she attempted to take some sweets and chocolate.

There appeared to be a spell preventing her from reaching for sweet treats on the trolly, she huffed turning around she bumped into a boy, he was a lot taller than her. As she looked up he had flaming red hair, similar to that of her cousin Laura, she shoved past him.

"Watch where you're going," she said

"You were the one that walked into me," he said, she turned around

"Yeah, well you shouldn't have been standing so close," she retorted

"If you haven't noticed, we're on a train, that's filled with people, where do you want me to stand?" he asked, she gritted her teeth, 'god, I hate being short,' she thought.

"Anywhere, that I can't see you," she said,

"Close your eyes, then you can't see me," he said, she huffed, walking back to the compartment, she slumped down in her seat, annoyed at the boy, she prayed he would keep his distance, for his own safety, you didn't cross Rhea Black without consequences.
