Okay, for those of you who have might've already read this story I am semi-re-writing this. I'm changing the name of Sirius's son from Daniel to Rigel and Remus's Daughter Sicily to Adrienne. Rigel's name is derived from the star of the same name and Adrienne is French for dark one. I'll add further explanations at the end of each chapter as I change different things and the Author note that is in place of the second chapter will explain a lot and if you have any questions I'll post answers there.

Prologue


"Remus, where's daddy?"

The small boy looked up at Remus from his place on the living room floor.

"He's gone away Rigel. He's not coming back I'm afraid."

Rigel looked at him with curious eyes. He didn't understand that his father had not simply left but had been taken away. Remus couldn't think of a way to explain what had happened to the young boy, he didn't want Rigel to suffer for his father. Rigel was still looking up at him with curious and confused eyes, eyes that appeared to glow silver at times though they were actually pale blue. Remus sighed to himself, it had been two months since James, Lily and Peter had died, and Sirius had been sent to Azkaban. Still Rigel would ask where his father was. But there was nothing he could think to do.

Suddenly the boy's attention was drawn away from Remus as soft whimper came from the tiny girl laying next to him on the floor. Her golden hair was beginning to stick to her face a little and she seemed to be trembling as she clenched her fists tightly. Remus put down the book he had been reading and picked up the little girl. He rocked her softly in his arms, whispering a soft French lullaby. It was a difficult thing to be a werewolf from birth, and Remus was constantly sorry for the pain he indirectly caused his daughter. Rigel climbed up onto the arm of the chair Remus was sitting in and looked at the little girl resting in his arms. She had stopped shaking and it dawned on him that she was awake though her eyes were still closed.

"Addy?"

She opened her eyes and looked at him, tears shining in the soft firelight.

"My hands hurt."

Rigel frowned slightly.

"lemme see."

She held out one of her hands and he saw that she had cuts from where her tiny, sharp finger nails had dug into her palms. Remus took her hand and looked at it.

"We're going to have to take care of that."

He got his wand from the small table by the chair and performed a simple healing charm.

"There all better now."

Remus brushed her honeyed hair away from her amber eyes. She looked so much like him one could not doubt that she was his daughter. He smiled at her, though it looked rather sad.

"I think that it's about time for the two of you to go to bed."

Rigel nodded his agreement with an over exaggerated yawn and a sleepy grin that brought a genuine happy smile to Remus's face. Adrienne was already beginning to fall asleep again.

He stood with the small girl still cradled in his arms and carried her to the room she and Rigel shared. Remus whispered a soft goodnight and kissed her forehead before sitting down beside Rigel on his bed. The young boy looked up at him, his eyes appearing silver for a moment.

"You miss Daddy, don't you?"

"Yes, Rigel, I do, very much. But it's time for you to sleep now all right?"

Rigel nodded and Remus gave the boy a quick hug before leaving the room for his own next to it. He glanced at the moon out his bedroom window as he climbed into bed and wondered if Sirius could see it from Azkaban.

"Sirius..."

The name slipped from his lips as barely more than a whisper as sleep claimed his mind.

Far away Sirius Black looked up as a whisper of wind blew through his cell in Azkaban. He shook his head lightly; he could've sworn he'd heard his name.

"Remus?"


AN: Not too much changed in this chapter, but things will be increasingly different as the chapters progress so even if you have read this before it would be a wise idea to read it again.
