(October, 1992) Aurora's POV

I sigh as I look up at the family tapestry wondering who of my extended family to check in on next. I've been a ghost for twenty-one years. I honestly don't understand why I came back as a ghost. What my unfinished business is. I could only think it has to do with my family. I've tried my best to guide my family down the right path into the light. But I seem to of failed everyone except my cousin Andromeda. Maybe I'll pay her and her family a visit next. Tonks always has funny stories to tell.

"Young Miss Aurora" Kreacher says appearing in the room.

"I've told you many times Kreacher, call me Aurora" I tell him. As I turn away from the tapestry to look at him. "How may I help you today Kreacher?" I ask him.

"You have been invited to a death day party at Hogwarts" he tells me. Showing me a letter.

"When?" I ask him.

"Halloween night, miss" he states. Sir Nickolas died on Halloween five hundred years ago. It would be rude not to go. And maybe I can see my god-nephew during my time at Hogwarts. It would be nice to see the school I never got to attend. Even if it is just for one night.

"Who sent the invite?" I ask him curious.

"The Bloody Baron on behalf of the host" he states. Ah the Bloody Baron, Slytherin's ghost. My parents wanted me in Slytherin. But I doubt I would of been placed there. I am more like Sirius and Tonks then them. But who knows? "What shall I say to the invite?" Kreacher asks me.

"Say I will come" I tell him. "You are dismissed" I add and he leaves the room. I look at the family tapestry, guess the Tonks family will have to wait. Besides this maybe my only chance to see my god-nephew. I wonder if there are any other child ghosts?

(Time skip to Halloween)

I arrived at Hogwarts and I am greeted by the Bloody Baron. "I am so pleased you choose to come my dear Aurora. You family has been in my house for generations, I wish you had been alive to attend Hogwarts. I believe you would of been an asset to Slytherin" he tells me.

"There was no guarantee I would have been placed in Slytherin" I remind him. "But I must thank you for the invite, it is nice to get out of the house" I tell him. "Are there any other child ghosts?" I ask him curious.

"None as young as you" he admits. "Only two aside from yourself will most likely be present tonight. Duncan, who died in 1979 and Mrytle, who died in 1943. Myrtle was fourteen year old Ravenclaw and Duncan, who was 17 and in Slytherin" he explains.

"Well I hope to meet them" I tell him. As we arrive at the ball room in the dungeons. And are greeted by the host.

"You must be Aurora, thank you for coming to my Death Day Party" Sir Nickolas says.

"Thank you for the invite, though I will never understand why you and other ghosts celebrate the day you died" I tell him.

"Oh the honesty of children" he says with a chuckle. "It is essentially our birth as ghosts, we celebrated our birthdays when we were alive. Why not celebrate the day we became ghosts?" he asks me and I shrug. I still don't get it. "Well I hope you enjoy yourself, I must continue to greet other guests" he tells us.

"Potter here yet?" the Baron asks him.

"Harry Potter?" I ask curious.

"Yes. Harry Potter and no not yet" Nickolas answers. The Baron nods and left to mingle. I can't believe I am going to see Harry tonight. I am not prepared. I go to a corner of the room. I start to think of how I should handle this. Do I introduce myself or just observe him? How old is he again? Twelve, yes twelve sounds right.

"You're a new face" someone says startling me. I turn to see a teenage male ghost. "Duncan" he says.

"Aurora" I tell him.

"Aurora Black" he says and I nod. "Well welcome to Hogwarts" he says with a smile. "Want a tour later?" he asks.

"A tour would be nice" I tell him. As we are joined by a female teenage ghost. "You must be Myrtle, I am Aurora" I say with a friendly smile.

"You've heard of me?" she asks surprised.

"I asked the Bloody Baron if there were any other ghosts my age" I state. "He told me of you both, but only name, age and house" I explain.

"I wonder what house you would of been in" Duncan muses looking at me.

"Who knows" I say with a shrug. "My parents and twin wanted me in Slytherin, but I don't think I would of been placed there" I admit.

"OY! MYRTLE!" a voice calls. I see a little man with wickedly slanted, orange eyes, dressed in loud, outlandish clothes including a bell-covered hat and an orange bow tie. He had black hair and compared to the Hogwarts ghosts, he was solid-looking, not pearly white and transparent.

"Who's that?" I ask Duncan as Myrtle went over to the man. Who I notice is with three living kids. I can tell one of them is Harry, but who are the other two?

"That's Peeves, a poltergeist" Duncan tells me. "Something tells me, Myrtle is going to leave the room crying" he adds. And he was right.

Moaning Myrtle burst into anguished sobs and fled from the dungeon. Peeves shot after her, pelting her with moldy peanuts, yelling, "Pimply! Pimply!"

"That was mean" I state and he chuckles.

"That's Peeves for you" he tells me. "Never ask him for directions" he adds and I nod my head. "Anyway, how about that tour?" he asks me.

"Sounds good, lets go before someone sees us" I tell him. He smiles and leads the way. "Can we go to the library first?" I ask. He nods his head, leading the way. I wonder if I'll ever meet Harry officially? But for now, I am content just to see he is alive and well.

Duncan gave me a tour of the whole school. Including the kitchens, dorm rooms, secret passage ways and class rooms. It was nice. He then took me to Hogsmeade when I told him I'd never been there. He told me a bit about his life and how he died. I in turn told him how I died.

It was not a happy story. It was a few days before my and Regulus' tenth birthday. My brothers and I had gone to the park across from our house. We decided to play hide and go seek. Regulus was it and it was the last round before we had to go home. I was only a child and had never been in the muggle world before. So I didn't know about cars or road safety. When Regulus found me, I ran decided to head home. But I was hit by a car, I didn't make it. My whole family was devastated by my death.

When I woke up at a ghost. I stayed hidden for the most part. Until my and Regulus tenth birthday. I felt so bad that I wasn't there to celebrate with him. So when Sirius was comforting him, I revealed myself to them. They were shocked at first, but were overjoyed to see me. We promised to keep me being a ghost secret. They promised to help me find out why I became a ghost. But we never could figure it out.

"Most of us have unfinished business" Duncan had told me. "Whether in the form of fear, guilt, regrets or overt attachment to the material world who refused to move on to the next dimension. It sounds like your business is connected to your family" he stated. I already knew that, so it didn't help at all. But it was nice of him to try to help me. After that, I returned home.
