Chapter 1
"Ow!" I woke up to something dropping on my face. I moved the book off of my face and rubbed my nose. I switched the light on and saw the smooth, black leather book in my hand. I looked it over and saw there was no writing on it. Where did it come from? My cupboard door is still locked... I opened the book and it was empty. Is this an empty Diary? How did it get in here? I touched the blank first page. "Fuck!" A drop of my blood fell from my finger onto the page. My eyes went wide as the cut healed and the blood was absorbed into the book. Writing appeared on the page.

Wait, I'm only 10? So, it's my birthday already then. What's a Pureblood? Accidental Magic? Black Family Magic? Who is the Black Family? How am I supposed to summon them somewhere assuming this isn't all a joke? How am I supposed to get that somewhere since they'd want to know why they're summoned there and I don't even know that myself!? Why is this like Dudley's video games? This is a really weird dream... Is it even a dream? And why does my name have question marks with my name next to it in brackets with more question marks? Is every question mark one word? That would make sense as to why there are different amounts of question marks. Maybe this is why the Dursleys hate me using the word 'Magic'... It would explain how I found myself on the school roof that one time... "How can I... It says 'BLACK FAMILY MAGIC UNLOCKED' so maybe I can somehow use it to complete the task..." I whispered. In Dudley's video games, the tasks can always be completed even if it takes a while so it has to be possible. Usually, when I do something odd I'm feeling strong emotions so maybe if I try really hard to want it to happen, it will... I focus hard for several minutes and then I find myself in an expensive living room on a black leather sofa with four adult males, five adult females, a boy my age and a teenage girl with purple hair and dark brown eyes. One of the adult males and one of the adult females are in prison uniforms.
"What the fuck just happened?" The purple-haired teenager asked.
"Nymphadora, language!" A woman with a very dark brown shade of wavy hair with dark brown eyes said.
"Sorry, Mom, but where are we?" Nymphadora asked.
"It seems we're all in the sitting room of Black Manor," a woman with brown and grey hair said. "The new Head of House must've summoned us here." The Diary floated in front of me but no one seemed to notice it.
TASK COMPLETED!

The Diary disappeared again but still no one mentioned it. "New Head of House?" Nymphadora's Mother asked. "Why am I here? Why are my Daughter and Sirius here?"
"Wait, where is..." The guy in the prison uniform looked around before staring at me and running over and hugging me. "Cassie! Cassie, you're okay... I'm so sorry, Cassie."
"And, er, who are you?" I asked. He pulled back and looked at me.
"I'm Sirius Black. I'm your Father," he said. Everyone gasped and stared in shock.
"That's not possible. My Parents are James and Lily Potter," I said and the woman in the same prison uniform as Sirius growled and launched herself at me, hatred in her black eyes. The next moment, she was frozen and couldn't move. I spotted Nymphadora's Mother with a stick pointing at the back of the curly, black-haired head.
"I Blood Adopted you when you were a baby. I'm also your Godfather," Sirius said. "You always cried when someone would call you Violet, so James, Lily and I changed your name during the Blood Adoption to Cassiopeia Narcissa Black." Again, the Diary appeared with no one commenting on it.
THE MAGIC OF A NAME UNLOCKED!
YOU NOW KNOW YOUR REAL NAME!
1 CHARISMA POINT, 2 MAGIC POINTS AND 1 HEALTH POINT!
The Diary disappeared again. "Sirius, maybe we should figure out how we got here first?" A woman with blonde and black hair said. She had bright blue eyes and a hand on the shoulder of the blonde boy with the same blue eyes.
"I did that," I said. "I, er, don't know how I did it but I did."
"That's not possible," Sirius said. "Only the Head of House can and that changed to my Grandfather after my Dad, Orion, died."
"Actually, Sirius, I passed the title on to Regulus after Walburga insisted I disown you. After Regulus died, we couldn't figure out who the new Head of House was since it wasn't any of us. Since you were disowned before you even graduated from Hogwarts, there's no way she can be Head of House through you. James' Mother is the only way she's in the line of succession but then everyone here would be before her other than Andromeda and Nymphadora since they're not a part of the Blacks... Unless she's a Metamorphmagus, in which she'd immediately become Head of House but since there wasn't one for centuries before Nymphadora, it's highly unlikely there are two in one generation."
"Don't call me Nymphadora!" Nymphadora said and her hair changed to ginger.
"How did you do that?" I asked.
"I'm a Metamorphmagus."
"What's that?"
"I can, er... Shapeshift?"
"Cool! More!" She grinned and changed her hair again to pink, then blue, then green, then blonde, then brown, then a rainbow before purple again. "You're so cool! So, Magic is real then?" The blonde boy scoffed.
"Obviously. What are you? An idiot?"
"No but at least I'm not rude. I've just never seen Magic before. Besides, who are you people anyway?" The woman with the brown and grey hair spoke first.
"I'm Cassiopeia Black. You were named after me and Narcissa it seems." She gestured to the black and blonde-haired woman. "That rude boy is her Son, Draco Malfoy. The one frozen who tried to attack you is Cissy's eldest Sister, Bellatrix, and Nymphadora's Mother is Andromeda. Andy's the middle child and was disowned for marrying a Mudblood."
"I'm Pollux," a guy with dark grey hair said before Andromeda or Nymphadora could say anything. "I'm Cassiopeia's older Brother. Our little Sister, Dorea, was James' Mother. It's unfortunate you never got to meet her. This is Cygnus, my Son." He pointed at the other guy in the room. "Walburga, before she died three years ago, was my Daughter and Sirius' Mother. Cygnus is Bellatrix, Andromeda and Narcissa's Father."
"You're Sirius' other Grandfather?" I asked and he nodded.
"I'm the better looking of Sirius' Grandparents though," Sirius' other Grandfather said. "I'm Arcturus. My Daughter, Lucretia, was Orion's older Sister." The Diary appeared for a moment.
1 INTELLIGENCE POINT GAINED!
The Diary disappeared again. Seriously, where does it go? "How did you not know about Magic?" Draco asked.
"I was never told about it by my Aunt and Uncle so--"
"Don't tell me they sent you to live with Lily's horrible Muggle Sister and her family?" Sirius growled just as Bellatrix started moving again. The Diary came back.
TASK: DODGE BELLATRIX FOR 30 SECONDS.
REWARDS: 3 SPEED POINTS, 2 ENDURANCE POINTS, 3 CHARISMA POINTS AND 1 MAGIC POINT.
FAILURE PENALTY: -2 HEALTH POINTS.
Shit, I can't lose 2 Health points! I only have 4!
TIME TRIAL STARTS IN 3, 2, 1, NOW!
The Diary disappeared. I quickly jumped over the sofa to dodge Bellatrix as everyone yelled at her. I ran back around as she came over the sofa and I ducked between Cygnus and Narcissa. Hopefully, my hiding behind her Father and little Sister will stop her. "Move!" She growled at them but they refused. She furiously paced back and forth trying to figure out a way past them. The Diary showed up again.
BONUS POINT!
1 INTELLIGENCE POINT FOR YOUR STRATEGY!
The Diary disappeared again. After a bit, she gave up and moved to the sofa I'd been sitting on and sat down. The Diary reappeared.
TASK COMPLETED!

Before the Diary could disappear, I grabbed it. No one seemed to notice as I looked at my stats.

Okay, er, how do I put stat points on stuff? Can I change where I put them once I've put them there? Probably not but I'll try just in case. Okay... I touched the 5 next to 'STAT POINTS' but nothing happened. I touched the 6 next to 'SPEED' and a plus sign and a minus sign showed up. After touching the minus sign, the number went down by one to 5 and the 'STAT POINTS' number went up by one to 6. I touched 'STRENGTH' and then the plus sign next to it three times. I then added one point to Charisma, one point to Endurance and one point to Intelligence. So, I have no stat points left and five points on each. I let go of the Diary and it disappeared again. "Why won't you let me at her? She's the reason The Dark Lord is dead," Bellatrix said with a pout.
"Aw," I cooed and everyone looked at me. "Sorry, I just... You look adorable like that." Everyone looked at me with wide eyes and Bellatrix glared.
"I am a feared deadly Death Eater! I am not adorable!" She screamed before literally stomping her foot on the floor. I ducked from around Cygnus and Narcissa and quickly made my way over to Bellatrix despite everyone, especially Sirius, protesting. I kneeled on the sofa and then started patting her on the head.
"You're such a cute little Puppy." I heard a chuckle and a few gasps and I saw Bellatrix glaring at me in anger and confusion.
"I'm not a Puppy and I just tried to kill you so what are you doing?"
"Petting my new Puppy... Although, you're cute like a Teddy Bear too so maybe you're a Teddy and not a Puppy? Or can someone be a Puppy Teddy? I've never had a Teddy or a Puppy before so you can be Puppy and..." I looked over the others. "Narcissa can be Teddy." Narcissa's eyes went wide.
"No," she immediately said and I gave her the cutest Puppy Dog eyes I could manage with a huge pout and I saw her smirk before quickly getting rid of it. "I said no."
"Pwease, Cissy?" I asked before holding my hand out and making a grabbing gesture whilst keeping up the Puppy Dog eyes and pout. A moment later, she sighed and came over.
"Fine but only if you never say please like that again." I quickly cuddled close to her.
