So the first how many chapters will focus on their friendship. I hope all of you will still read this story.

Prologue

Sirius smiled down at his two and a half year old daughter as they walked up the walkway to James and Lily's cottage. The little girl chatted away happily, skipping every now and then in her pink puffy tutu and blue rainbow shirt with black leggings and butterfly wings. Lily opened up the door to greet them, giving the little girl a big hug as she picked her up and set her on her hip. She led them into the house and to the sitting room where James laid on the floor playing with one year old Harry. "Uncle James!" The little girl squealed running towards him and flopping on top of his back. James grabbed her and sat up swinging her around and started to tickle her, causing everyone in the room including Harry to laugh along with her infectious giggle.

"James, Lily, thank you for agreeing to watch Auddie while I get things together." Sirius took in a gulp of air trying to get the image of his wife's lifeless body and his three month old son laying next to her still and cold. Poor Audie had been with him that day two days ago and he tried to keep things normal as possible for her as he tried to make arrangements for his wife's and son's funeral.

"Sirius, it is no problem. We just want to help you." James told his friend, clapping him on the shoulder. "Are you okay mate?" Sirius nodded his head and stepping towards the little girl who was talking to Harry. She noticed her dad was watching her and turned her head to face him and smiled brightly at him.

"Daddy, what is it?" She asked, tilting her head to the side and scrunching her eyebrows together in concentration.

"Sweetie, Daddy is going to leave and will come and get you in the morning." Sirius whispered to his daughter as she flung herself into his open arms.

"No twicker tweating?" She whined, pulling away and sticking her bottom lip out in a pout.

"Next year we will go. Daddy's going to go now. Can you be a good girl for aunt Lily and uncle James?" She nodded and gave him one last hug before he stood up straight. "Thanks again." He told his friends before leaving.

Lily laughed as she realised what her niece was wearing. "Audie, did your daddy dress you today?" She mused as James snorted.

"I'm a butterfly aunt Lily!" Audie giggled, flapping her arms up and down, running around and pretending to fly. Harry clapped his hands and cheered her on.

James picked the little girl up and flopped her onto the couch. "I think it's time for you to calm down and get ready for bed." He told the little girl, trying to keep a straight face but the little girls smile was infectious and he ended up smiling back. She was the girl version of Sirius with his gray eyes and curly locks though instead of black hair it was a reddish brown like her mothers. James knew that once she was a teenager Sirius would have a handful trying to keep the boys away from her and he himself would gladly help his friend.

"No bedtime yet!" She replied, shaking her head.

Lily disappeared to put Harry into his pajamas and James took that as his cue to entertain his goddaughter. The little girl smiled up mischievously at him and he couldn't help but return her smile. "Audie, should we play a trick on Auntie Lily and baby Harry?"

"Yes!" The little girl shouted, throwing her arms in the air and wiggling around in excitement.

"You two better be behaving down there or I will put you two into a timeout." Lily yelled, knowing those two were always up to something. She couldn't help but feel a little excited when Harry would finally be old enough to help his father and non-biological cousin.

The two shared a look and giggled. James scooped her up and sat her on his lap as they sat on the couch. "Would you like to hear a story instead?"

"Yes, one about mommy and daddy!"

"Auntie Lily usually tells you those stories." He gave his niece a pleading look but the little girl pouted and batted her little eye lashes. "Fine, but don't tell your father. He'll think fatherhood is making me soft." The girl giggled as Lily made her way downstairs and sat down next to them. "Once upon a time a handsome young man and beautiful young woman fell in love-."

"Both of them were extremely rich and had powerful families. The woman was kind and caring while the man was daring and ignorant. It was a surprise to everyone when they fell in love at the mere age of-"

"Sixteen," Audie interrupted, a smile displayed on her face.

"I thought I was the one who was telling the story!" James whined, giving his wife a puppy dog face.

"You always seem to over exaggerate," Lily teased.

Suddenly, a light flashed through the window and the door knob started to jiggle. Lily hugged Harry tighter to her chest and stood up. James yelled at her to go up stairs and try to get away with the children. She reluctantly listened to him and took Audies hand before bring both children upstairs and into Harry's room. She slammed the door shut and locked it, hopping James could give them enough time and still live. Lily quickly placed Harry into his crib and urged Audie to hide underneath the crib. The little girl refused and clung onto her leg. The door blew open and the hideous Voldemort stood in front of them.

"Move aside and I will not kill you." He hissed.

"Please take me and leave the children." She begged, pulling Audie behind her.

"I dont want you, I want the boy!"

"Please leave them!" She cried, trying to block both children from his view.

"You are being a stupid women, move aside and you will leave."

"Auntie," Audie cried, peaking out from behind the woman. "Who are you?"

Voldemorts eyes lit up. "The Black child is here as well. The Black's and Scotch's would be forever in debt to me if I brought them the dead body of their granddaughter. I'm sure you've heard the rumors of her becoming a powerful Witch, one almost as great as your son. A prophecy of her own. Step aside and you will be allowed to live."

Lily looked at the children and quickly pushed audie underneath the crib and stared at the man. "Please, take me and leave the children. Please, they are just little kids."

"I hate to do this," he smiled coyly and raised his wand before muttering the killing curse. A flash of light spread through the room before Lilly dropped to the floor. He turned toward the children and held his wand at them, hopefully he could get rid of them at one shot. "Avada Kedavra!" Green light swirled around the room and a the spell counter-reacted. Voldemort disappeared and the children were left in the room. Harry had a red scar shaped as a lightning bolt on his forehead and audie now wore one on the back of her neck. Both children were marked.

Sirius ran into the house ten minutes later. James dead body made his eyes tear up and the thought of his daughter joining his wife and son made his chest ache. The crying from Harry's room gave him hope and he felt instant relief at the sight of Audie and Harry. They were okay but Lily wasn't. Infact the house now had a huge hole and was a mess. He wrapped one arm around Audie and held Harry in the other one.

"Sirius?" Remus ran towards the room and gave his crying friend a knowing look. Rumors spread that the war was over but the price the pair paid felt like the war inside themselves would never end.

"They were betrayed Remus," He shouted over his daughters head.

"Sirius, who would have done it? You were their secret keeper. Who else would have known where they were?" Remus asked, slightly nervous at his friends antics he was known for.

"It wasn't me if thats what you're referring to." He snapped.

"Sirius-"

"Sirius, Remus, I have orders from professor Dumbledore to take the children." Hagrid interrupted Remus.

"I understand why he would need Harry but why does he need Audie?" Remus asked as Sirius held both children tighter in his arms.

"He says they need to be removed to safety before any Death Eaters come looking for revenge." Hagrid shifted and gave Sirius a look that the man couldn't read. "Please understand it's for their safety. People knew there was going to be a chosen one but no one knew of the other prophecy. Audie needs to be hidden until she's old enough to understand just how powerful she is. Dumbledore said he'd like to meet with you in a few hours and you can be re-acquainted with her there."

"Take my motor bike and keep them safe." Sirius said, opening his arms and handing them over to the gamekeeper. No one understood that was the last time Sirius would see his daughter for the next twelve years.

~three hours later~

Remus walked into Dumbledore's office, relaxing at the sight of a sleeping Audie laying on the couch in the office before he took a seat in front of the desk where Dumbledore sat. "Where's Harry?" Remus asked, worried about the little orphaned boy.

"He is with Lily's sister." Remus became furious but Dumbledore spoke up before he could say anything. "He is safe there. He is away from the wizarding world where he can grow up as a normal boy until he returns to Hogwarts. The decision is final. Now about Audie..."

"I will take her," Remus told him not giving it a single moment of thought. "I know Sirius, he didn't do this and after his trial he will be set free and get to raise his daughter."

" Sirius isn't getting a trial. He has betrayed Lily and James trust, killed thirteen muggles and murdered Peter Pettigrew." Remus shook his head at the professor.

"I can't believe it." He whispered in shock. "What's going to happen to Audie?"

"She will stay with you for the night and tomorrow we will meet at the ministry. Sirius is to go to Azkaban in the morning. He has been allowed to say goodbye to his daughter." Dumbledore stood up and walked around the desk and towards Remus to stand up. "After she sees him, Emma's brother will come get her and she will stay with him and his wife."

"The Scotch's are death eaters! She can't stay with them!" Remus roared, appalled that Dumbledore would suggest such a thing."Emma had been disowned from her family and thrown out to defend for herself at age fifteen and labeled a blood traitor! Sirius would go even more madder than he already has if he were to learn she'd be raised by them! She isn't safe, she's powerful and they'll use her for it!"

"Sirius has betrayed us and Emma is dead. Audie is the heir of two highly regarded pure blood families. The prophecy isn't being regarded when it comes to her placement. The Scotch's have made a deal with the Ministry and there's nothing I can do to stop the child from being placed with them. Her godparents are no longer alive and they won't let her stay with you because even if I trust you, they won't let her stay with someone with your condition." Dumbledore gave the man a knowing look. "This will only last for a few months. There are several people fighting against her placement and want her to be kept in safety. I'm already working on setting up a trial but you will have to gain a representative and proof that you're able to take care of her."

"I will try my hardest." Remus whispered, giving the girl a sympathetic look before picking her up and apparated out of the room.

The Minister of Magic looked around the courtroom and sighed at the final decision he would have to announce. Remus rubbed his hands against his dress robes and looked over at the Scotch's nanny who was trying to get a squirming Audie to settle down. Harriet Scotch sent the little girl a glare before giving Remus a smug look. Dumbledore seemed confident but Remus wasn't so sure. The whole room was full of people ready to know what would happen to the the child with a huge inheritance. Some hoped she'd be put into foster care and they'd have a chance to adopt her and the large fortune that followed.

"Will Remus Lupin, Harriet and Elliot Scotch please rise." The three and their representatives stood up. Dumbledore stood alongside Remus.

"It has come to our attention that Audie needs to be protected and surrounded by those who care for her. Remus Lupin is the best option for a loving home but he also has a condition that could prove detrimental to the child." Remus suddenly came to the conclusion that he had lost. The Minister of Magic noticed this and smiled at the young man. "There are ways to help prevent accidents and those will be immediately put into action once the child is put into the care of Remus Lupin." There was commotion amongst the room. "Order, I call order." The Scotch's were ready to protest but he shot them down. "Remus Lupin has full custody of Audie black. During a full moon the Scotch's have gained visitation rights to have the child for three days while Remus deals with his special condition."

"Thank God, I have her for most of the time," Remus breathed.

"You have to remember to be civil with them on Audie's behalf," Dumbledore chided, smiling himself. The little girl squealed with joy as the Nanny let go of her and she ran towards her uncle. "You are very lucky that so many professors spoke on your behalf."

Remus looked over at him and nodded. "Thankyou."
