Prologue
St. Mary's Hospital
June 5, 1980
Remus stood by his wife's side. His wife, Andromeda, was having their first child. Andy's brother, Sirius Black was also in the room. Remus let out a long sigh as he thought about how he would never get to know his child. He was beginning to feel self-pity because he was a werewolf. " You okay, Remus?" asked Sirius sensing his friends self-pity.
Remus nodded and held his wife's hand. Meanwhile, in the next room Narcissa was screaming like crazy. She was actually giving birth. " Just a couple more pushes," the doctor instructed her.
Twenty minutes later, the doctor announced, " Congratulations! You have twins--one boy and one girl!"
He didn't get the reaction he was expecting. Narcissa screamed and her husband, Lucius, sighed and crossed his arms. The doctor just shrugged. He didn't really care how they reacted." What are you going to name them?" he asked after they were cleaned up and in Narcissa's arms.
"Draco and Celeste," Lucius replied promptly.
The doctor guessed that he had given the names a lot of thought. A half an hour later in the next room, Andy was holding a beautiful 6-pound baby girl. " I think I'll name her Callie Elizabeth," she told her husband and the doctor.
18 MONTHS LATER
" No Lucius! You can't do this!" Narcissa screamed with tears in her eyes.
" I will do this Narcissa! We talked about this before and you agreed that if we had a girl we wouldn't keep her," Lucius reminded his wife.
" But why? I love her!" Narcissa cried.
" A girl can't carry on the Malfoy family name and a girl would be too much trouble. She would cause all sorts of fights with her brother. Narcissa she would be better off at my sister, Matilda's in California," Lucius explained.
" You mean the only Malfoy to disgrace the family name?" asked Narcissa.
" Yes, my father shouldn't have kept her. But then he couldn't have got rid of her without my knowledge since I was 6 when she was born." Lucius said.
Narcissa nodded and kissed her daughter for the last time. Meanwhile Remus and Andy were having a discussion. " I have to leave Andy. What will happen if Callie walks into the forest one night? I'll tell you what would happen--she would become a freak!" Remus told Andy.
Andy sighed and then said, " How about I take Callie to California. Your condition makes it hard to just get up and buy a new house. Plus the family I was closest to isn't around anymore," she told him.
Remus nodded, he knew that Andy was closest to Sirius, her twin brother, who was now in Azkaban. Her other brothers hadn't approved of their marriage in the first place. " I promise I'll come back when the time is right and she'll go to a Wizarding school in California. I heard it is a good school," Andy promised Remus.
