I do not own anything from the Harry Potter series. I hope you enjoy the story.
Chapter 1: Traitor.
"We need your help."
It was a rainy night in Godric's Hollow. Inside a house, three men and a woman were talking with no happiness. Lily and James Potter were listening to their friends with confusion.
"You're scaring me. Why are you so… sad and worried?" James asked.
Remus sighed "You know that Padfoot and I have been dating for two years, and in this war the fact that two men are dating and one of them is a werewolf is not very well accepted"
"Well, we know that, but I don't see what the problem is." Lily said. "Just the Order's members are aware of your relationship, what are you so worried about?"
"Lily, you know about Dumbledore's suspicions of a spy in the Order. We are not really afraid about death eaters knowing about our relationship, they are not really chasing people like Sirius and me, but we don't want them to know that…" Remus sighed again, looking at Sirius, who looked at the married couple with fear in his face.
"I'm having a baby" he whispered
A moment of silence came after that revelation. While Sirius and Remus just looked at the shocked couple, James and Lily people were assimilating what the wizard with gray eyes just said.
"You… you are also expecting a baby?" Lily asked, not believing what she just heard, her husband was having a harder time to understand what his friends revealed to them. "I thought cases like yours were really weird…"
"They are really weird, Lily. We didn't expect this to happen, and we are worried because if Voldemort finds out that we are having a kid, then…"
"The child would be in danger" James said, finishing what Remus was trying to say. "The child of two wizards, one of them a werewolf… the baby would be a perfect arm to finish the child parents. Or maybe he would want to hurt the child, believing that he or she shouldn't exist."
Sirius nodded furiously. "That's why we need you to know, that we will be hide for the next nine months, until the baby is born."
"We will still be working on missions of the Order, but we just can't go to the reunions" Remus explained. "Only Dumbledore, Peter and you will know about this".
"You can trust us." James said with a smile on his face. "That little kid will be safe, no matter what."
August 8th, 1980,
A tired Sirius was carrying his baby girl with Remus next to him. Both of them had a smile on the face.
"Thanks for the help, Madam Pomfrey" Remus said to the witch who was standing in the other side of the room.
"There's no need to thank me, Remus. Congratulations"
There was a knock on the door.
"Can we come in?"
"Yes, you can" Sirius said laughing after hearing James' voice. "You don't need to be so formal" he added when the married couple entered with a small baby boy in their arms.
"In this case, it is necessary Sirius" Lily smiled while saying this. "Congratulations."
"Thank you" Remus said with no intentions to stop smiling. "We had a beautiful girl".
" I had a beautiful girl" muttered Sirius. "I did all the hard work, now I understand Lily."
Lily laughed. "May I carry her?" she asked.
"Sure". Lily gave Harry to James and went closer to Sirius to be able to carry the kid."Hello" Lily said to the baby girl. "She's so cute." the woman commented while smiling.
"How are you going to name her?" asked James.
"Well… since we can think of the moon because of Remus and my name is referred to a star, we decided to name her Carina" Sirius said. "It's a constellation"
"It sounds nice" approved James.
"Well, it's time for me to leave" Madam Pomfrey said as a goodbye.
"I'll walk you to the door" Remus stood and accompanied the witch, when they left the room, James face turned serious.
"Padfoot, this the last time we can come visiting you"
"What?" Sirius exclaimed with horror in his face "Why?"
"Well… it seems that Voldemort is chasing us" explained Lily "We will need to hide in Godric's Hollow. Dumbledore suggested to do The Fidelius Charm and we want you to be the Secret Keeper, but… you can't tell Remus about that."
Sirius couldn't believe what his friends were saying. "Why?"
"Do you remember what Dumbledore said about a spy in the Order? We think that maybe Moony…"
"He is not the spy!" almost yelled Sirius with anger in his voice. "How can you say that?"
"Sirius, werewolves are joining Voldemort. He is giving power to them, maybe Remus…"
"He would not that to me or to our child" muttered Sirius. "I refuse to believe it."
"We are not saying that he is the spy, he may be the spy."
"He is not" Sirius repeated. "However… I don't think I can be your Secret Keeper. It would be pretty obvious that you chose me, and if you really think Remus is the spy, you can't give me that power to me."
"We don't know any other person who can be the Secret Keeper, you are the person we trust the most" James said, trying to convince Sirius.
"Ask Peter, no one can't think of him as the Secret Keeper, people will go after me instead of him, and you will be safer."
November 1st, 1981.
Remus couldn't believe it.
Yesterday, James and Lily were murdered. Today, Sirius was arrested.
'He killed Peter, he betrayed James and Lily' that was all he could think about. 'He betrayed me and our daughter…'
Suddenly, Remus heard a sob, he went running to Carina's small room where she was supposed to be asleep. The baby girl was now one year old; her hair was light brown and she was almost identical to Sirius, although she was much cuter than him. What Remus liked the most about his little girl, were her gray eyes and the fact that she had Sirius' personality.
But in that moment, Remus couldn't look at her with happiness.
Using all his willpower, he went to the crib and carried her. "What's wrong sweetie?" he asked her. The girl stopped crying.
"Dad. Daddy?"
Those were the only words she needed to say to let Remus know that she wanted to see Sirius. Remus felt like crying, but he forced a smile on his face and tried talking to her.
"Daddy is not here. He will be out for some days."Remus explained to her. The girl just blinked with confusion.
"I wanna daddy"
Remus hugged her. "I know."
