Shannon was a bit dizzy from the apparating and Charlotte was sick at her somtach.
Sirius: Oops, sorry abt tht. Tht was called Apparating, u'll learn tht in ur 6th yr. *lead them to sit on a nearby bench* U'll be fine. Just a little disoriented if ur not used to it
"I know what it is, I am not stupid. I just didn't know it could make you sick." Charlotte said, breathing deeply.
Sirius: Like I said, it does tht if ur not used to it. Just let it out, Charlotte. Dont hold it. It'll only make it worse *patted her bk*
Charlotte shook her head but couldn't help it and threw up.
Sirius: *patted n rubbed her bk to ease her vomiting* There, tht's it. Let it out. Its OK. Hold ur sister's hair bk, wont u be a dear, Star?
Star nodded, holding her hair back.
Char soon stopped and wiped her mouth. She leaned into her sister.
Sirius: *let them settle a little while* Why do evryone call u Star, Shannon?
"Because she is bright, a chipper and vibrant like a star."
"Yes, Char called me that until last year."
"We have to grow up some time, Shannon."
Sirius: Well, like my old schoolmate used to say "Growing old is inevitable; growing up is optional". Ur nvr too old to be bright, chipper n vibrant. Ppl will lighten up n like u more tht way *smiled* So, feel better? Wanna get ur bday presents?
"YES!" Star smiled and Char nodded, getting up, steading on her sister.
*the rest of the day was spent in both Flourish & Blotts n the Muggle novelty shop, where Sirius got their gifts, tho they had to wrestle n squeeze thru the crowd, n had to fight for the last bike on sale, since the Muggle novelty shop was attracting ppl like bees to honey*
Bot the girls were happy and Char even started reading the book before they got out of Flourish and Blotts.
"When can we see out mom?" Star ass, pushing her bike next to her.
Sirius: It's better if we see him tomorrow. We want u to get settled in ur new home first. How's tht?
They both nodded. "Ok." Star said. "Will he be happy to see us?"
Sirius: He would be absolutely thrilled. To be honest, wen I told him I would go looking for u two, he wasn't exactly confident, bt I'm a man of my word *hauled a carriage n helped them in* Did u knw tht ur mother didnt knw he had twins?
"How could he not know?" Char asked. "We are his children, he had us."
Sirius: Well, the only speculation would be tht one of u were taken out via C-section n he was knocked out before he knew wat was going on. He must've figured he just fainted frm fatigue, n the midwife lied to him. U two werent exactly given away out of desperation. U were taken against his will. Tell me, which one of u is the elder twin?
"Oh, that is mean." Star said.
"I am, by four minutes."
Sirius: Ah, then u were the one who was removed via C-section. U may hv been in breach or some form of position tht required tht surgery. Its OK, its not ur fault. Ur mother doesnt want me to tell u this, bt I'm treating u like adults, n I believe u should knw. Do u knw why u were taken against his will?
"No. we were always told that our mother died. So I don't know why anyone would take us from him." Char said.
Sirius: Well, I'll be honest with u, bt I dont want u to think of ur mother any less. Ur mother works in a brothel. He was sold to the brothel on his 3rd yr at school by ur sad excuse of a drunkard grandfather, n he worked there evr since. He's not evn allowed to leave, let alone hv a child. U see where I'm getting at?
"So they took us from him? What not just get rid of us before we were born?" Char asked. "That would have been easier."
Sirius: Tht's wat the brothel actually do, bt ur mother loved u too much to get rid of u. He faked the test results n carried u to term wen the brothel found it was too late to get rid of u
"So he really loved us?" star asked. "Even though he didn't know that there was too of us?"
Sirius: Yes. He loved u vry much. In fact, he was the one who told me abt u n he evn remembered ur bday, tht's how I knw it was ur bday yesterday. Oh, n did u knw ur mother had wanted to name u Cassi, Charlotte?
"Why Cassi? I mean I have never liked Charlotte to begin with, but why Cassi?"
Sirius: *shrugged* Tht u will hv to ask ur mother urself *looks out* Ah, looks like we're here *the carriage stopped n he helped the girls dwn n led them inside his house*
