It was a dull and grey December morning of the year 1981, the area was as a grey as the sky and the sounds of traffic were loud. Two sharp popping sounds were not heard by the passer-by's as two people mysteriously appeared out of thin air.

"This has to be the last one we go to Dora" the man muttered.

The man was mid-height with sandy coloured hair, he was dressed in a sweater and trousers underneath his blazer, he had the appearance of a scholar.

"Remus, this is important I made a promise to my cousin and I intend to keep it" the woman muttered back.

The woman was smaller than the man by half a foot she had pale brown hair and a pretty heart-shaped face; she wore a simple fleece in brown and worn out jeans.

"Dora we have searched fifty three orphanages over the past month" Remus said as they headed to a large gloomy building "this must be the last one, we already lost our friends and Harry. And I can't lose you to this – this – this obsession of her"

"I promised Sirius and Juliana that if anything ever happened to them that I will take her in. Dumbledore is a fool, shoving her into some random home –

"The home of her mother's only relatives" Remus said softly

"And what do they do? They shove her in a random orphanage"

"They couldn't look after her Dora, they did what they thought was best"

Dora merely glared before she knocked on the door. The door opened to reveal a girl of sixteen maybe seventeen years. She wore simple second hand clothes and was holding a baby with blonde tuffs of hair.

"Hello, I am Remus Lupin and this is my wife Dora. We had an appointment" Remus said gently

The girl smiled "yes, Auntie Jan told me you'd be here. I'm afraid she had to go out but she told me to show you around the baby room."

"Thank you Miss….?"

"Susan, Susan Green." The girl said

"Auntie Jan, is she your actual aunt?" Dora asked as they entered the warm building. Despite the outside the orphanage was actually rather bright in the inside.

"No we just call her that. We're very lucky, quite a few people who had adopted had donated enough for us to decorate over the years" Susan said noting the surprised look Dora wore. "just last month this baby boy was abandoned on the footsteps, all he had with him was a blanket, a name, a birthday and a check of five grand. Auntie Jan used it to buy us all Christmas presents, I helped pick them out"

"Interesting" Remus commented politely

"This way then" Susan said leading the couple up the stairs and towards a bright red door with Baby Room engraved on it. She opened the door to show a room painted in primary colours. In the middle was a huge playpen filled with toddlers, on the edge was various cots. Susan placed the blonde baby next to two very familiar babies.

The two babies looked up at Susan.

"Susie, who is that behind you," the girl whispered her sentence strangely advance for a two year old.

"A couple looking for good little children" Susan cooed stroking the girl's bushy brown hair.

"Moony! Dora!" a voice cried next to the bushy haired baby was a messy black haired baby.

The bushy haired baby beamed "Moony! Dora!" she squealed

Dora fell to her knees and pulled the two in to her arms, tears falling down her cheeks.

"Oh Harry, oh Mione what good fate. We found you, we found you" she said

"That was the baby boy that was abandoned on the footsteps" Susan said "Harry James Potter born on 31st July 1980. The girl is Hermione Black born 6th September 1979"

"We want to take them with us" Remus said "we knew both of their parents very well. Hermione is a cousin to Dora; we've been searching for her since her mother died last month."

"Well I'm afraid you have to wait till auntie Jan comes back"

Harry looked up at Remus he's bright green eyes filled with tears.

"What about baby?" he whispered pointing to the blonde baby

"Harry and Hermione are rather close to the baby. We're not sure what her birthday is but she was born a good year ago, abandoned in the middle of London last year, she was found in a doorway of a pizza place. She almost died, six months in hospital. Then she was left here." The girl explained "we never have named her, nothing seemed to fit. These two kids have taken to her like I do to chips, rather sweet really"

Remus and Dora looked at each other and both knew there was a good chance the baby was a witch, her mother was probably a muggleborn scared for her and her baby's life. Dora picked the baby up gently and looked into her large blue eyes. She could feel the baby's magic.

"We'll take her as well" she said firmly.

The fifth of December became the day when Remus Lupin and Nymphadora Tonks-Lupin reunited with their friends' children Hermione Black and Harry Potter. They were also the official parents of Luna Marlene Lupin.

Authors note: this is AU, keep that in mind. I made Tonks older but she is still younger than Remus.
