Rosalie Euphimia Potter was born to 15 year old James and Lilly Potter on the 20th of June 1975 in the hospital wing at Hogwarts school of witch craft and wizardry.
Her hair was bright and fiery as her mother's though it fell into soft ringlets over the top of her small and tender head while she had her father's hazel eyes. Both parents so young and innocent left with the responsibility of raising a child while still one themselves but they could both often be heard saying 'Just because she was un planned it does not mean she is not wanted'.
Rosalie spent the first three years of her life roaming the halls of Hogwarts. Spending many an hour sitting in the back of a classroom while her parents worked hard to achieve their grades so they could give their little one the best life she could have.
Rosalie was a quiet child but oh so kind and caring. She was not just the apple of Lilly and James eyes but also all the other marauders eyes as well.
They were her Uncle Sirius and Uncle Peter then there was Remus. No matter how hard anyone tried the child would never call him Uncle or acknowledge that he was some sort of family member though this did not mean she did not care for the man in fact many would joke she was his shadow. The pair got on like a house on fire yet there was something no one would be able to put their finger on at least not that they said allowed. James knew the truth and so did Lilly they could see it in the back of both the child and teens eyes.
For many many years in the future the pair would be the thing each other needed the most. After spending her first three years at Hogwarts the Potter nee Evans family moved in to Godrics hollow where the young witch grew up and then at the age of five her little brother came in to the world who she loved with all her littler heart.
Spending all her time copying her mother with her dolls. Pretending to change her dolls as Lilly changed Harry's own nappy to learning how to bath the small infant. Life was blissful then the war came. No one could be trusted; friends were turning to enemies and only months after Harry's first birthday both the Potter children lost their parents.
Harry surviving the killing curse as his mother's body fell in front of him while James fell by the door looking as though he was just trying to protect his house but little did Voldemort know that behind the sofa sat the sobbing form of six year old Rosalie Potter covered by her fathers invisibility cloak and a silencing charm that her father had managed to cast only seconds before his un timely death.
As soon as Voldemort fled the scene the sobbing child had grabbed her father's wand from his still warm hand before fleeing up the stairs as quickly as her little legs could carry her until she reached her brothers room where her mother's body lay.
All the little girl could do was cry out for her mummy but the child was much wiser than many her age. She knew her mummy was gone and now it was her job to protect Harry and that is what she did. Climbing into the cot and wrapping her trembling arms around the crying baby as she tried to think of a plan though it was not long until Uncle Sirius came charging into the house
. Though Rosalie was smart she knew not to trust anyone her father had taught his little lion to be brave and fierce so as the shaggy haired man had entered her room she held her father's wand that was much too long for her small tender hands and shouted one of the spells she could remember her father teaching her
. Yes she was underage way to young to use magic but this was war you need to be prepared for anything her father had reasoned with Dumbledore who agreed that the six year old was wise beyond her years and could see no harm in her knowing some basic spells so as Sirius heaved in the door way wand in his hand her small voice had cried 'Expellirmus' causing Sirius head to snap in her direction as his wand left his tight fist.
'Rosalie,Harry' Sirius had said causing the oldest Potter to breathe a sigh of relief at the sight of her uncle. The small joy of Sirius coming to their recue did not last long as Hagrid arrived to separate the young children and that was the last time Sirius and Remus would hear or see from Rosalie for 16 years as she was far too valuable to live with the Dursley's. She had already scene and done to much so as she waved her little brother of not to see him until his fifth birthday when she was granted the access to him on his birthday and a Christmas.
Twice a year until he went to Hogwarts. Rosalie unlike Harry got to grow up in the magical world as she grew up with a small wizarding family that were kind to her and full of love and laughter but she never really belonged there and that is where she stayed until she turned eleven when she returned to the place where she was born.
Hogwarts and her father had been correct she was a little lion so it was no surprise when she was sorted into the house of the brave.
Rosalie was smart and excelled in all her exams though defence against the dark arts was were her passion lay. A fire had flared in her that night her parents died. She wanted to rid the world of its evil. So when she turned eighteen and the war was swilling around her she joined the order as it began to re assemble and Dumbledore knew her skills were far more powerful then he had seen for years so with that he gave her the darkest and most dangerous undercover missions which lead her just months after her eighteenth birthday wishing her brother a fair well. And a goodbye not promising that she would make it out a live because she knew war would not be kind to her and she knew her brother had a journey to live and make history but she had to make her own. So that was the last time she would be seen for four years as she went under cover all over the world gaining many scars and stories with Dumbledore being the only one who ever knew where she was.
So as her last mission came to an end a new scar from what must be the 20th crucio curse she has had put on her in the last four years added to her collection just as she reached her portkey a envelope was dropped at her feet by a oddly familiar snowy white owl that read 'Well done R,E,P for completing your latest mission please return home news has come about your parents murder. Yours faithfully Albus'.
It took a lot to shake Rosalie up but the thought of something coming to light after sixteen years in her parents death was crazy so he had took her portkey with only milliseconds to spare before being whirled back in to Albus Dumbledores office just like she had been four years earlier.
To no surprise the headmaster had already been awaiting her return having planned it after all. 'Ahh Miss Potter it has been a while but i must say you have not aged a day apart from the scars you have gained over the years' the head master had first commented before delving into the news she had been informed about which shocked her to her core. Especially due to the fact it had been held from her for three years. She had hated a man who had once been like family to her all because of a lie that threw apart her whole family.
So when Dumbledore promised she would be introduced to the order and Sirius as well as Remus the following day she could not sleep not even in the comfy plush bed Dumbledore had put up in a spare room in the castle.
Her presence had not been made known to any of the order so the next evening when Dumbledore had announced a old member would be re joining the ranks many were confused not many even knew Rosalie Potter or they had forgotten her.
So as the door to the kitchen of grimuled place swung open and a fairly tall fiery red headed woman stepped in to the room her hazel eyes bright and flaring while her body was being hugged tight with jeans and a black vest top that allowed all her scars to be on show. Her battle wounds things she was proud to bare upon her skin.
At first the room was silent many did not recognise her not until she looked Harry who sat at the far end of the table in the eyes then her little brother knew. His sister was home so he scrapped his along the floor tears filling his eyes as he raced across the room flinging him into his sister's arms as he loudly said 'ROSIE YOUR BACK'.
It was the best feeling being back in her little brothers arms so they embraced till a cough dragged them apart where everyone else sat wide eyed many now realising who the women was and that is why even though he was sickly and weak Sirius was from the battle at the ministry he was on his feet and as was Remus.
Harry pulled away letting the men get a good look at his sister. 'Rosalie?' Sirius questioned just like he had that night sixteen years ago. The red headed women nodded. 'It can't be' He said moving to grip on to the table in front of him while Remus could not take his eyes of her like there was a magic pulling the two together.
'It may have been four years since i used that name but i know it's the one on my birth certificate' Rosalie jokes even though it was true while out on missions she rarely used her own name it was too risky. 'Prove it' Remus spoke finally.
Rosalie nodded pulling out her most treasured item her wand but it was not any wand it was that of James Potters. It had served her well over the years not even a wand from any wand maker would fit her any better.
'This is the wand of my father's James Fleamont Potter and on Halloween 1981 i used it to disarm Sirius Black' Rosalie said smiling as she played with the wand in her fingers. Remus looked at Sirius for conformation he nodded.
To Remus the child he had seen all those years ago now stood before him as a well developed woman who sported scars that would rival even his. She was beautiful. Her hair so long in fell just above her bum.
'Where have you been all these years Little Lion' Sirius said as he watched Rosalie run a hand threw Harry's unruly hair. 'I am afraid i cannot tell you everything Uncle Padfoot as it would be a great risk one that i cannot bare to put upon your shoulders but i have been on missions for the order all over the world' Rosalie explains to her uncle.
Dumbledore clears his throat and asks the other members to step out and that he would answer their questions when in another room so that the family could reunite. 'My my it sounds like you have been very brave, you almost have as many scars as Moony over here' Sirius says nudging Remus in the side.
'My battle scars are much like Remus each one tells a story of something that made us stronger though i doubt yours are much better after all those years' Rosalie says hinting at his time in Azkaban. 'Still mine was just deserved' Sirius said causing Rosalie to let out a wolf like growl making the adults jump.
Rosalie shook her head as her eyes flicked between amber that resembled the colour of Remus at a full moon and her normal hazel colour. 'Don't you dare speak like that, it was not your fault none of it was but if anything i owe you an apology for thinking that you could ever be guilty' Rosalie said in firm tone though her voice broke at her last words as her eyes filled with tears.
Sirius eyes grew cloudy as he stepped forward opening his own arms. 'Come here little lion, were here together again and no hard feelings are out there' Sirius said as Rosalie walked into her uncle's awaiting arms.
They held each other for a moment both of their shoulders becoming wet with each other's tears. Though as they pulled away Harry scratched the back of his neck as he opened his mouth to speak 'Can we just address the fact Rosie's eyes glowed amber for a moment and she can growl like a wolf'.
'Ahh' Rosalie says thinking back to moments ago. 'Yes and explanation would be nice' Remus and Sirius say at the same time. 'Well okay but don't be shocked please and stand back a little' Rosalie warned as the others stepped back behind the table with raised eyebrows. 'Are you ready?' She asked waiting for them to nod. When they do she steps back and places her wand on the table as she shook her head to one side her body began to change as she fell onto all fours which soon turned into paws.
Sirius nearly passed out at the sight while Harry turned a ghostly white all while Remus felt a strong pull between him and the jet black wolf let out a deep growl baring her teeth at the two dark haired wizards though when her eyes found Remus she made herself towards him though he backed up into the wall behind him. But the wolf persisted and dropped to the floor in a submitting manner. 'What is she doing?' Harry asked while the two older men shrugged as the wolf changed back into a human. Rosalie smoothed her clothes back up as she stood back on her two feet. 'You're an animagus!' Harry exclaimed.
Remus shook his head 'That was certainly not an animagus'. 'No i am not an animagus' I say. 'I can't believe it but it looks like you're a soul wolf' Sirius said his eyes wide. 'What is a soul wolf?' Harry asks. 'She can't be, could she?' Remus says shocked as a soul wolf was something rare and only powerful wizards or witches.
'Harry a soul wolf is someone who is a powerful witch or wizard that has a soul mate out in the world that is a werewolf and it gives them the ability to turn into a wolf at will but unlike an animagus they are more aggressive and have animal tendencies and will only submit to their soul mate. Many of them go all their lives without knowing this often getting labelled as shape shifters' Sirius explained.
'Wait didn't she just submit to Remus?!' Harry asked looking shocked. Remus was ghostly pale. 'That i did and i have never done it in my whole normally i can fight the wolfs instinct and control it but i could not then it was like it took over 'Rosalie says making eye contact with Remus.'No you can't be'Remus stuttered.
His best friend's daughter could not be his soul mate could she? 'I don't know Remus the wolf is something I've been able to turn in to since i was thirteen and over the years I've learnt to control her even when emotions run high but today i could not she was drawn to you' Rosalie explains looking seriously at Remus.
'Wait so doesn't this mean that Rosie is Remus soul mate' Harry thought out loud.
'It appears like it could be a strong possibility' Rosalie says scratching the back of her neck awkwardly as she tried to not give in to the uncomfortable gaze Remus seemed to be holding on her. 'It looked certainly like it to me' Sirius said with a tone that was laced with amusement but Rosalie didn't share his amusement because due to her experience with dark arts and strong connection to most aspects of magic she knew it was not a simple thing to have.
Soul bonds were not simple. It was not as easy as wam bam thank you mam there's your soul mate. The bond was complex and needed to be sealed for its full strength to be known. There were very few cases of Soul wolves on record so little was known about them. Rosalie had always known deep down what she was but she never knew who her soul mate was and if she ever would find them but surely it more than just a simple bit of fate.
'It is an unsealed bond though' Remus says quietly for the first time in a few minutes. Rosalie nodded as she felt her cheeks tinge pink though she shook her head to remove the blush she felt rising across her face, she was a strong woman she had no time to act all shy and embarrassed now she thought to herself. Sirius eyes went wide with realization at what Remus was saying as there was only one way to seal a bond.
Harry looked between the older people in the room and was still rather puzzled but this was when Sirius saw that it was the best opportunity to lead the boy who lived out of the room.
'Come on Harry i am sure Hermione and Ron are dying to know all about your sister' Sirius said trying to nudge his godson out of the room who was reluctant to leave. 'Harry right now i don't think you want to know how we would have to seal the bond you may be scared for life so why don't you go ask Hermione about soul wolves if she is as bright as you say she is i am sure she won't have a problem telling you about us' Rosalie said with a somewhat amused expression at her young brother who was so like their father.
'Sure but do i get to tell them about the whole my sister can turn in to a wild wolf thing?' Harry questioned and Rosalie glanced at Remus as she knew that Harry was going to tell his two best friends about the soul bond and she wanted to make sure it was okay with him before granting him permission. Remus hesitated but nodded. 'You may but they have to swear not to tell anyone including Dumbledore, got it Prongslet?'Rosalie said somewhat firmly. Harry nodded an excited grin spread across his face as he exited with Sirius close behind him.
Once the kitchen door closed behind them Rosalie pushed herself onto the table so that she was sat on it with her legs hanging of the edge. 'So this is not what i expected to come back to' Rosalie joked as she moved to tie her hair up out of her face though as she did the movement of her arms caused her clothing to move slightly and more of her scars were revealed.
Remus eyes shifted over her newly exposed skin before he responded. 'Well it was not something i expected either, we all thought you were dead. All records of your life ended at eighteen and nothing more could be found' Remus said moving himself so that he was stood in front of Rosalie and leant against one of the old wooden cupboards.
Rosalie sighed as her hair finally went into a pony tail she brought her head up and let herself check Remus out. There was no denying he was handsome though he looked older than his age of thirty seven. The war had tired the man who had spent all his life fighting constant battles but his soft green eyes never aged and behind them deep inside was a man who needed love and to be shown that people are good and can stay no matter what.
'I know and for that i am sorry but it needed to be done. If there had been any records of my missions death eaters could have been infiltrated them and well i probably would not be here in front of you today' Rosalie said grimly.
Remus ran a hand threw his dirty blonde hair that was slowly turning into a salt and pepper like colour. 'No one would tell me what happened to you not even Harry. I grieved for you. I thought i had lost you to' Remus said his hands tugging the ends of his hair in a mixture of frustration and upset. Rosalie now couldn't meet Remus eye she hated to hear how her disappearance affected him in such a negative way.
The truth was she never had really thought much of how her disappearance had affected everyone around her. She had never been one for friends so the few she did have were not probably to effected by her leaving and she got to explain and say goodbye to Harry so he had his answers but Remus had been out of her life for over ten years at that point and no one knew how or where to find him.
'Remus you do have to remember that it had been over ten years since i had seen or heard from you and no one knew were you were so it is not like i could contact you,if i could i would have' Rosalie said calmly her voice taking a steady tone as she took a deep breath to control her emotions that were being heightened due to the soul bond between her and Remus. She could sense his sadness and it kept made her usual calm and quite demeanour waver.
'You could have owled me,owl's could have found me no matter where i had been. You and Harry were all i had left and you were ripped away from me. Don't you know how much that can messes person up?' Remus said his voice getting slightly louder.
His own emotions were high the full moon was only two days away so the wolf was drawing closer to the surface making any little emotion he feels even more intense. 'I do Remus. I saw my parents die then i got dragged away from my brother and forced to leave with a bunch of complete strangers. Everyone i knew disappeared up until twenty four hours ago i thought Peter was dead and Sirius was a murderer.
Ive been grieving for the majority of my life. When i left my head was not in the best place. I was angry i wanted justice for mum and dad so i did what i thought was right and left. Now that i am older i can realise that it was probably not the best decision but i cannot change the past' Rosalie said her own voice becoming shaky as Remus became more upset. 'You don't get it though do you! You got to live in a happy home, make friends, reunite with Harry and be somewhat happy at least. I had nothing i still don't. I don't have a galleon to my name and i am crashing on Sirius bloody sofa. Sure i have Sirius back but he is not the person he used to be. You should hear his screams at night when he has nightmares there awful.
Harry is not really interested in me it's all Sirius this and that. I am alone and no one ever seems to be able to grasp that!' Remus said his voice practically growling as he reached for a mug that sat on the side of the work top next to him and throwing it angrily across the room as his own eyes flashed amber.
Rosalie did not flinch as the mug flew past her shattering as it hit the wall. Rosalie felt the anger pulsing threw her veins though they were not her own emotions she tried to keep her own calm in some hope of passing it on to Remus but it did not seem to be doing much as his eyes started flickering between the soft green and the amber of the wolfs. Pushing herself of the table, feet landing on the floor with a soft thud Rosalie approached Remus slowly as if he was a wild animal that would be startled by any sudden movement. In the few moments it took for the young twenty two year old witch to get in front of the werewolf who was now hanging his head. Her small hands found its way on to his chest softly.
One hand remind on the centre of his chest while the other made its way slowly up his neck to his face which she cupped in her hand gently and lifted his head so that he was looking directly into her own hazel eyes. 'Look at me' Rosalie almost whispered as Remus refused to meet her eyes. 'Remus look at me i can help but you need to look at me' Rosalie said softly as she let her finger caress across his cheek.
Eventually Remus looked directly at her, his eyes amber. Rosalie shook her head slightly to help her transform partly allowing only her eyes to glow amber. Taking the hand she had on his chest and moving it so she was holding Remus right hand she looked deeply into his eyes before leaning her head forward and resting her forehead against Remus own.
The pairs eyes locked and Rosalie took a deep breath that Remus felt brush against his face as Rosalie thought calm and peaceful thoughts letting her wolf remind calm and steady while still letting Remus know that she meant no harm.
'I need you to breath for me Remus,deep breaths in and out. Focus on my voice. You are here at Grimmuald place. You are safe and you are not alone' Rosalie said slowly as she let the hand that rested on his cheek move in small circles using her wrapped breathing increased for a moment before it began to slow down evening out more and more with each breath. 'That's it your doing it' Rosalie said smiling softly her forehead still pressed against his. After a moment his breath evened out but his eyes were still glowing.
'Were nearly there now i just need you to let my energy in,it can help calm you. If you let me'. Remus let out one last deep breath and his eyes flickered for a moment quickly changing between green and amber like a flash of light before settling on green. Once his eyes had stayed there natural colour for a few moments Rosalie pulled her head away from his though she left her hands in place. 'Thank you' Remus said quietly.
'I'm sorry for what i said the full moons only two days ago and the wolf is getting anxious then getting all this information on the top of it is a lot to take in' Remus tried to explain but Rosalie waved him off. 'I know i understand, i can feel the moon drawring closer to though i don't have to change at a full moon it still drains me and irritates the wolf to no end.' 'How did up do that though? No one can normally calm Moony down once i let my emotions get worked up.'Remus asked. 'Ive known what i was for a while and i knew that our emotions are linked as are our wolves so i used her to help calm you by linking our emotions' Rosalie explained as she let her hand fall from his face.
'It still doesn't excuse what i said, I just thought i would never see you again or that you did not want to see me'Remus admitted. 'There was never a day were i did not think about any of you,i even carried a piece of you all with me no matter where i went ' Rosalie admitted as she pulled her hand out of Remus.
So that she could turn her back to him which was rather confusing for Remus but as she pulled down the back of her vest top and on the nape of her neck there was a tattoo of a wolf , a stag, a dog and a rat outlined on it.
The tattoo did not move it was a muggle tattoo. For were ever she went she had carried the marauders with her. Remus let his hand trace the tattoo. 'You had our animal forms tattooed on to you?'Remus asked in surprise as Rosalie let the t-shirt spring back in to place.
'You were with me were ever i went though i do think i need to get the bloody traitor of a rat covered up because he doesn't deserve to be there any more' Rosalie growled slightly her own eyes flashing amber briefly but this time it was Remus who took her hand to calm her.
'Sorry i am still pretty wound up about the whole faking your own death and living as a rat for thirteen years thing' Rosalie says as her own eyes flick back to hazel. Remus nods a long agreeing with her thoughts.
'I know it really has been a crazy few years and i have a feeling we have a few more ahead of us' Remus says knowing that there was a war brewing in the near future. The war that was set to change the whole of the wizarding world.
'Were not in this alone though we are all stronger together' Rosalie says just as knock came from kitchen door. 'Together' Remus says his hand still entwined with Rosalie's who is smiling at Remus her eyes crinkled in the corners as they looked at each other as if they were taking in every single detail that lay on their faces.
Another slightly heavier knock came on the door which dragged their attention away from each other. Remus dropped Rosalie's hands and makes his way over to the old wooden door and opens it to reveal a pink haired witch.
Someone who had arrived late for the meeting and obviously just had the news of the oldest Potters arrival. Before Rosalie could even walk to the door she is knocked back on to the floor as the pink haired witch crashes into her.
'Wotcher' The voice says as the pair crash to the floor. 'Tonks!' Rosalie cries chuckling at her oldest friend's clumsiness. 'Rosie Posie Why the heck did you not tell me you were back? I had to find out from my over grown mutt of a cousin' Tonk's says fake scowling but he voice is light and happy as she nods her head in the direction of the door way where Sirius was leaning against the door frame shaking his head.
Rosalie pushes Tonk's of her gently so they were both laying on the floor while the two marauders stood above them. 'Well i have only been back for 24 hours and you arrived late to the meeting so if you had been on time.
You would have found out at the same time they had' Rosalie says turning her head sideways so that she now looking face to face with Tonk's. Both women lay on the floor not bothering to get up from the floor as they continued talking as they caught up with each other.
'Well you are not the only one playing hero and going around saving the world us Aurors have work to do as well' Tonks gibes and turns part of her robs over to reveal the Auror logo that was printed onto it.
'You didn't! You actually managed to pass the stealth test! They really must have let the standards slip' Rosalie jokes and for the first time the other people in the room saw her calm and serious nature drop as she joked around with her old friend.
'Rude!' Tonks says punching Rosalie lightly on the arm before the pair burst out laughing. When the laughter finally died down Rosalie held her hands in the air.
'Padfoot come help me up please?' She asked looking at the shaggy haired man who was clearly amused at the pairs antics. 'Why should i? Why can't Moony?' Sirius said whining like a child as Remus stepped forward to help.
'Because even though he is not saying anything i know he does not feel to good and you maybe old now but your fine so help me please' Rosalie said pouting sticking her bottom lip out. Sirius shook his head and made his way over to the women laid out on the floor taking one of her arms in his and Tonks arm with his spare hand and with a grunt pulled them both to their feet.
'Thank you Uncle Padfoot' Rosalie commented with a smirk though as she looked over Sirius she could see Remus watching their interaction and a look she did not like was passing over his face. Jealousy.
Remus caught her watching him and as she shook her head at him he dropped his eyes to the floor. 'Uncle?' Tonks said looking rather confused. 'Oh yes my dearest Nymphadora do you not remember when we were in school that i told you of my uncle that was a mass murderer?' Rosalie said as she threw an arm around Sirius neck. Tonks looked deep in thought before her eyes widened 'So i take it he is not your biological uncle?'. Rosalie shook her head no.
'So its because he was incredibly close to your dad? Does that make Remus your uncle to?' Tonks asked but as Rosalie opened her mouth to speak Sirius cut her off
. 'Rosalie is my niece because though not by blood me and James were brothers but this little strange kid here always refused to call any of the others uncle. I was the lucky man who got the title' Sirius said lying so smoothly that if Rosalie did not know the truth she would have believed him. Rosalie opened her mouth to correct him but Sirius shot her a look that warned her not to so she shut her mouth as Tonks nodded happily before starting to ramble on about one of her latest missions.
After Tonks had finished talking everyone's ear off the group made their way to the sitting room where some off the order members remained. There was a sea of red heads as the Weasleys bustled around,Hermione and Harry.
Though all their heads turned when the group walked in to the living room. 'She looks like she could be our long lost sibling' One of the twins says. 'Yeah mum are you sure you didn't have another kid and forget' The other twin commented. 'I am quite sure George but it's not like i could forget that face though' Molly says as she stands up from the arm chair she was sat in before opening her arms. 'Rosalie dear come here let me look at you' Molly says as Rosalie slips through the little crowd of people.
'Molly you haven't changed one bit ' Rosalie commented as Molly started to inspect her. A lot of tutting and inspecting later Molly declared that Rosalie needed feeding up as she was looking on the skinny side before crushing her with a hug. 'It looks like you have a few more children since the last time i saw you' Rosalie commented as she re called only ever meeting Bill and Charlie when Molly used to baby sit her during order meetings.
'You could say that' Molly laughed. 'That one over there is Ron who i am sure you have heard about him, over there is Percy and those to over there are Fred and George. Though i cannot forget Ginny' Molly said pointing to each teenager in turn and in return all waved at her until she reached the twins who stalked up to her placing themselves on either side of her.
'So what's a pretty girl like you doing back here? Fancy having some fun with us? Maybe even show us that wolf power of yours?' They both said speaking each sentence in turn.
'Sorry boys i only date people who are out of school and i don't think you would be able to deal with my inner wolf she's pretty wild' Rosalie commented winking slyly at Remus who's cheeks flushed pink. Both twins pouted 'Fine show us the wolf and we will let this rejection slide' said Fred or at least that was who Rosalie thought it was.
'Go on then but stand back' Rosalie said before casting a look at Remus in some hope to tell him that it was best for him to leave the room if they for some reason had to hide it from Tonks. Remus did get the message as he excused himself for the bathroom.
'Oh i haven't seen Rieka' Tonks said excitedly. 'Rieka?' Sirius questioned. 'Well its just like Remus wolf is called Moony, Rieka is what we called Rosalies.
It means A woman who has the power of the wolf, or a woman who holds the power of home depending on how you look at it' Tonks explained for Rosalie who was moving herself away from the people in front of her.
'Before i do this i will warn you the wolf is being a little antsy because of the full moon and shes never been great with big groups so stand back please had have your wands drawn. 'Sirius,Tonks keep your wands on me at all times' Rosalie instructs as the two cousins draw there wands and the other people gather around in a circle around her.
repeated the process that she had done in the kitchen earlier. Her body fell towards the floor but before she could hit the floor her body turned in to the fill the room and all wands were now pointing at her which enraged the wolf who snarled baring its teeth and began growling loudly. Though Rosalie was in control mainly the wolf always tried to push against her and rule over her but as she felt the wolf try again she howled loudly before turning back in to her human form. She stumbled as her balance was a little off.
'You can lower your wands now' Rosalie said as she noticed that only Harry,Tonks and Sirius had let theres fall. 'That was crazy' The twins gasped.
Molly looked shocked while Arthur looked rather surprised as did the others. 'Talk about cool' Ginny said with a huge grin on her face and glint in her eye. Just as the chatter moved on from the whole turning into a wolf thing Remus slipped back in to the room quietly as the most people in the room had already been updated on the whole Rosalie and Remus being soul mates kind of thing so questions were mainly kept to a minimum.
Though Rosalie found herself being dragged over to one of the sofas by Ginny who was rather interested in talking to the new arrival because apparently in Ginny's words Rosalie looked 'badass'. Conversation flowed with ease and everyone laughed and enjoyed there night until late into the evening when everyone parted ways. Rosalie hugged the last of the Weasley's goodbye before walking Tonks to the door.
'It's good to have you back Rosie Posie' Tonks said as she hugged her old friend goodnight. 'It's good to be back' Rosalie says as she closes the door behind Tonks who apparated from the door step of the property.
When Rosalie closed the door and locked it with a flick of her wand. 'Sirius has ordered pizza from this new shop in diagon alley,it should be here soon if you want to have a shower' Harry says as he appears in to the hallway.
'I would but i have not got any clothes with me as i thought i would just be going back to Hogwarts for the night' Rosalie said but as Harry went to respond Sirius interrupted. 'No niece of mine is staying at Hogwarts,your staying here i have already got Kreacher to collect your bags from Hogwarts and put them in one of the spare rooms'. Rosalie sighed 'Well then it looks like i will be having a shower then.
Can you show me where that is then?' Rosalie asks her younger brother who nods and starts to head up the stairs. Harry leads Rosalie to a room on the second floor and opens it to reveal a old out dated room with a four poster bed in the middle and a on sutie bathroom. 'Thank you,I will be down soon' Rosalie says as she unties her boots and places them next to a chest of draws. Harry nods but lingers for a moment.
'Everything okay Harry?' Rosalie asks her brother. Harry thinks for a moment before answering 'I am just so happy your back, its like a dream and im scared that if i let you out of my sight again i will blink and you will be gone' Harry admitted. Rosalie's smiled slipped for a moment as she took her younger brother in to her arms.
'I promise you know Harry i will never leave again without you and if i ever do it will never be for long' Harry smiled and nodded before quietly exiting the room. Rosalie enters the bathroom and into the shower washing her body and hair not stepping out until every inch was clean.
Once the taps were off Rosalie cast a drying charm on her hair before she plaited it into two French braids and hung her towel onto the hook it had come from before padding back into the room and slipping into a pair of grey pyjama bottoms and a long sleeved matching grey tshirt and a pair of fluffy socks as the noble house of black was freezing and the rest of Rosalies wardrobe was not quite made for the cold temperatures after spending the last year in a hot climate.
Rosalie made her way downstairs finding that the three males were in the kitchen and judging by the smell with the pizza to. 'I hope you haven't eaten all that pizza' Rosalie says as she walks in to the kitchen were Sirius is shoving pizza into his mouth like he had never been fed and so was Harry. It seemed like it was only Remus who was eating like a civilised person.
'I put you some to one side before these two got a hold of any of it'Remus said as he summoned the plate that had been kept warm under a charm that had been cast on it. 'Thank you Remus,that was very nice of you' Rosalie commented as she took a seat next to him.
Remus smiled warmly at her as he watched push a stray strand of hair out of her face before taking a bite out of the pizza and letting out a groan at the taste of the food. Her company's eyes widened at her sound. 'What?! If you had been eating the food i have for the last four years you would be enjoying the taste of pizza
It's been a life of bland and boring food' Rosalie said laughing as she continued to eat the pizza. 'So does someone want to tell me why Sirius did not let me tell Tonks my oldest friend about me and Remus?' Rosalie questioned as she looked around for a drink but when Remus relised what she was looking for he past her his and without a second thought as if this was all something natural Rosalie took it from him and drank from the cup before placing it between the two of them.
They all glanced at each other before answering the question that had just been asked. Remus sighed , Harry gulped and Sirius actually stopped eating.
'Tonk's has a crush on Remus.a pretty big one at that' Sirius said as Rosalie looked at Remus for conformation who nodded. 'She has been trying to win his attention for a while now' Harry says adding his own input.
Rosalie's eyes went wide as that was not what she was thinking they would tell her as she had not even noticed how Tonks had been acting around Remus today as she had been busy trying to get to know everybody.
'Yes she has even asked me out on a date which i politely declined but she thinks it is because of me being a werewolf that i am scared i will hate her which is partially true but she is a nice women but i am just not interested in her that way' Remus added.
'Well why can't we just tell her and hope she would understand'Rosalie said slightly confused at why they could not just tell the truth. 'I just think that we should wait for the right time to tell her because well it may not be my place to say but last year Ted Tonks was killed by some snatchers when they were gathering up some muggle borns and she has only just picked herself up after that we don't want to give her another reason to go back there' Sirius said.
Rosalia was shocked to hear about the death of her best friend's father and saddened by the news as Ted had always been a wonderful quite man. But she also somewhat could understood there reasons for not wanting to tell her. Maybe if she had not been so tired Rosalie would have argued her point in telling her friend but as the last of the food was eaten she let out a large yawn. 'Someone's tired' Sirius comments.
Rosalie nods as she lets out another loud yawn. 'I think im going to bed now' Rosalie says pushing back on her chair and getting up while putting her plate in the sink. 'Goodnight little lion' Sirius comments as Rosalie walks back over to the table to wish everyone a goodnight. Sirius stands up from his seat and hugs Rosalie before leaving a soft kiss on her forehead. 'Goodnight Padfoot,thank you for letting me stay here' .
Sirius smiled before waving of her comment telling her how she was always welcome at his home. Next was Harry. 'Goodnight Prongslet' Rosalie says ruffling her brothers hair before flattening it back down with her hair. 'Night Rosie' Harry chuckles ducking away from her touch.
Rosalie hesitated before wishing Remus a goodnight so she hung around a second longer behind Harry before making her way over to him. 'Goodnight Rosalie' Remus said as he turned his head to look directly at her.
'Goodnight Remus' Rosalie said before she could over think the movement she ducked her head down and planted a kiss on his cheek before quickly heading out of the room not waiting to see his reaction.
Though as she left the room a wolf whistle could be heard coming from the room as Sirius and Harry cheered at the interaction between the two. 'Boys' Rosalie spoke out loud to her head as she headed up the stairs to bed.
Sleep came easily to her that night as Rosalie's body was exhausted from the days adventure and truth be told when out on missions she had to even be on guard when she slept. As you could never know when an attack would come.
So for the first time in a long time Rosalie slept in a safe environment where she was loved and warm. Though it only lasted for a few hours before her body began to wake as it was to used to living in a different time zone. So after laying in bed for at least an hour Rosalie dragged herself out of the warm quilt and into the chilly air that filled the old house. Walking down the stairs of the old house trying to be as quite as possible as not to wake the other sleeping in the house by creaking the floor boards too loudly.
Though as her foot hits the last step a light can be seen from the sitting room. Now curiosity got the better of Rosalie as she found her feet taking her in the direction of the light.
Pushing the half open door slowly before craning her neck around the door to see who was in there when her eyes scanned the room until she notices Remus who is sat on one of the sofas shirtless in a pair of burgundy sweatpants. His head in his hands. 'Hey' Rosalie says quietly before stepping into the room causing Remus to startle and quickly pull back from his position. A hiss escaped his lips as he did so from moving his aching body to quickly.
'Sorry did i wake you when i got up?' Remus asked concerned. Rosalie shook her head as she walked over to the sofa sitting next to him.
'No my body is just not used to this time zones so i thought i would come down here'. Remus nods before placing his head back in to his hands. The upcoming full moon was really taking its toll on him causing his whole body to throb and ache so much that a pain potion had not even made a slightest difference.
'Are you okay? Rosalie asks placing a hand on to his bare shoulder but even then he hisses slightly at her touch causing her to with tract her hand. Remus nods 'I'm fine' He says in what must be the most unconvincing voice.
'No you're not, there's no need to make it out like you are' Rosalie tells him as she was concerned for him as though pain cannot be transferred between soul wolves you could still feel the traces of his pain running threw her own body. 'You can feel it?' Remus questions looking between his fingers at her.
'Not exactly i can feel that you're in pain but i can't feel the actual pain just that you are in it' Rosalie told him as he let out another hiss before moving one of his hands to the bottom of his back as he tried to rub what must have been a sore spot.
'Is it always this bad?' Rosalie comments as she sees his face twist in pain. 'Not always but the transformations have been getting worse. The wolf knows were at war and it wants to fight so, me holding it back makes it even worse' Remus explains to her taking deep breaths in between his words. 'Is there anything i can do to help?' Rosalie asks not liking how much pain he was in.
Remus does not answer for a moment. 'Would you mind rubbing my back? Right at the bottom is rather painful' He asks shyly. Rosalie nodded before moving along the sofa and placing a leg either side of Remus so that she was sat directly behind him.
Her hands moved along his back pressing her palms into his back where she could feel the knots in his back underneath his skin. Every now and then the werewolf would hiss at a extremely sore spot and Rosalie would apologise for pressing to hard. This went on for a while and slowly Remus head was removed from his hands and his shoulder relaxed more. 'Thank you' Remus said gratefully as his pain was eased slightly. 'Any time and i mean that if you need me i am here' Rosalie said.
She had always been so caring even as a child so this behaviour did not surprise Remus. It was his own behaviour that surprised him at how natural it felt to let her be so close to him and touch him. It had been years since he had experienced anything as innocent as another humans touch. Though he did nearly fall of the sofa at her next words as she shifted so that she was resting in one of the corners of the sofa.
'Let me be with you tomorrow at the full moon'. 'No!' Remus protested. 'I can help Rieka and Moony are connected she can help him settle so it eventually as there bond is realised Moony should calm down' Rosalie tried to argue back. Remus shook his head.
He knew how uncontrollable Moony could be,it was more than he would like to risk as he knew he could not live knowing he hurt Rosalie. 'I could kill you! It is to dangerous' Remus said his voice rising slightly. 'Calm down your getting yourself worked up now,Rieka can stand up for herself, Sure the wolves will fight at first but they will settle down when a pack order is settled 'Rosalie said as she rested her head against the sofa cushion.
'No Sirius will be with me it will be just fine' Remus said his voice quieting down slightly now as he let out a yawn. 'I'm coming and no arguing. Your tired you need to rest we can discuss it again in the morning' Rosalie addressed with a firm tone to her voice that showed the conversation was over.
It was then when she looked ever so like Lilly with her firm motherly nature. 'But' Remus went to continue but with one look Rosalie silenced him. 'I'm going to stay here for a little bit so you can either keep me company or go sulk in bed' Rosalie said as she made herself comfortable before summoning a blanket and draping it over her legs.
Remus didn't say anything apart from leaning further back in to the sofa and closing his eyes. With a accomplished smile Rosalie watched as he fell asleep. His chest rising up and down in a calming rhythm. It was not long after that even with the book she had found was turning fuzzy in front of her eyes as sleep over came her body. The book fell out of her hands and on to the floor as she lay asleep on the sofa not too far away from the stubborn wolf. Who had finally met his match?
In the morning Harry went to wake Rosalie up but when he found her bed empty he began to panic so he raced in to Sirius room giving him the fright of a life time. 'I can't find Rosalie!'. 'Have you checked the whole house?' Sirius asked groggily.
'Err well no' Harry confessed before exiting the room as Sirius threw his head back against the pillow. 'Go look and if you can't find her then come wake me again' Sirius mumbled not even opening his eyes.
Harry left the master bedroom and began searching the second floor before heading down stairs where he saw the same light Rosalie had the night before. 'Finally' Harry spoke allowed as he made his way in to the living room but as he opened his mouth to speak he stopped when he was Rosalie laid on the sofa and Remus head was resting under chin with one arm wrapped around waist and the other was tucked by his side.
The blanket Rosalie had covered herself with the previous night now discarded on the floor so as Harry glanced at the clock seeing that it was only half eight he thought it was best to let him sleep so creeping along the floor Harry picked up the blanket and draped it over the sleeping figures before turning the lamp of so the room darkened but the smile Harry wore on his face was wide enough to make his face ache and it was bright enough to light up the room. Slipping out of the room Harry left the two cuddling on the sofa to sleep a little while longer.
