Walking threw Diagon Alley was a bit nerve racking. Uncle Sirius sat by me in the shops as I picked up my books and other essentials. "Iris?" The sound of Ralph Scamander. "Oh Ralph I am sorry." I said before he hugs me. "Its so good to see you. I heard that you moved to the muggle world. I bet your uncle isn't happy about that." I laughed "uncle Lucius will come around I'm sure." I said nervously knowing thats not true. Uncle Sirius barked making us look at him. He was wagging his tail. "Whose this?"
Ralph asked petting him. "This is Grimm found him in the muggle world yesterday." I said before saying I have more shopping I did want his sister seeing me. Alessandra was not my biggest fan and to be fair I am not hers either. She always has a stick up her ass and, the way she talks about her step grand mother and step aunt is horrible. She is lucky to have a loveing family most don't have that luxury. I guess uncle Sirius felt my distress because he started nipping at my leg. I pat his head comming back to my senses.
"Sorry I'm ok lets get home before the storm. I have orders to put together and ship out." I said he barked in acknowledgement. When we got back he changed back to his human form. "That was interesting that Ralph kid seems rather friendly with you." He was teasing but best not to let Fred or George find out. I remember the last kid that tried to steal me away. It did not fair well for them. "Yes well he has been pursuing me for a while. I turn him down all the time he just doesn't get it." I said placing the ingredients out on the table. He watched me work not measuring because I just let the potion make its self.
The air soon dances with different arrays of sents. He took notice that my face was a blank serene. Everything around me melted away while I worked it was just me and the pot.
Sirius pov
She looks so much like Snape when she is messing with potions. She also has Lilly in her too James and Lilly would be so proud of her. What puzzles me is why move next to Harry. She is putting herself at risk. I was brought out of my thoughts by a knock at the door. I shifted back to dog form and bark Startling her. She looks at me then to the door confused before walking to it ,as a fury of bangs insisting her to answer. "I'm coming wait a moment." She said gently whipping her hands with a towel. She opened it to reveal my god son Harry.
"I can't take it living with them! They are horrible and its not fair to me. Iris please adopt me you clearly are well of and I can help just please get me out of there." He said hugging his sister she pulled him in shutting the door. She pulled away whipping his eyes that were glazed with tears. Her expression was calm as she tends to him. "Go to the den I will put on some tea and Grimm will keep you company. Won't you boy?!" She said the last part looking at me. I bark wagging my tail appearing like a happy dog. Harry and I went into the den so Iris could work.
"I know she got in truble revealing who she was to me. I also know the danger she is in being next-door to me. She is brave but also stupid. Then again she is dating two of the best prank artists I know. People talk about her being the daughter of a whore. I don't believe it though mom loved her and me. What happened between her a professor Snape happened and nothing could change it. Iris is a remarkable witch and I envy her. She grew up in this world and at a young age made something of herself doing what she loves. I know she will go far but then you have me who knows nothing."
I lick his cheek making him laugh telling me to stop. This boy has no idea how loved he really is. "Grimm your going to eat him get down do he can have some tea. " Iris said softly making me whine before trotting to her. "Its ok boy I got some for you too." She said winking at me. We all sat in the den as she calmed Harry listening to him. Iris looked at the clock and sighs.
"Come Harry we will walk over and I will ask for you to stay the night with me." She said walking out the house myself following. The pompous bitch Petunia "what do you want bastard children." She said Iris smiled at her. "Hello Aunt Petunia I know it is unpleasant for you to have Harry. I want to give you a few days break from him. I ask for nothing but a few days with my brother."
She said politely though I know she wanted to puke. "You won't need anything from us during his stay with you? Hmmm fine go get what you need boy." She said to Harry as her rushed to get clothes. Iris however stopped him.
"When I said nothing I ment it." She said making Petunia nod shutting the door in her face. Iris sigh but took Harry by the hand taking him to her house. The few days pass by both of them happy till he had to go home. That day however is when it all whent to shit.
