1.1 Prologue
1.1.1 September 5, 1990
Remus and Sirius sat on the hospital bench together. "Sirius, stop worrying! Narcissa will be okay, she's done this before." Remus said trying to comfort his best friend. Sirius had gotten himself into an affair with his ex-girlfriend, who was married into an arranged marriage to Lucius Malfoy. He had gotten her pregnant, too. Now she was in labor and she couldn't keep the baby with her because Lucius never knew about the baby sine she placed a charm that only let her and Draco see it.
"Hey, I'm going to call Judy and tell her to come. Since Lils isn't here, Judy's the only other best friend Narcissa has." Remus stood up and left Sirius. He walked around the hospital, stretching his legs after waiting with his friend. He walked to the pay phone on the wall and dropped some coins in. He dialed Judy's home number 843-973-0895.
"Hello?" A young girl's voice, he knew as Judy's daughter, Hermione, said.
"Hi Hermy! Happy Birthday!" Remus said to the little girl on the other phone.
"Hi Uncle Remus! Thanks a lot! My mom's coming! Just a sec!" He laughed as Hermione put the phone down and ran to her mom. She had started calling him Uncle Remus since she found out about him.
"Hello Remus." A firm woman's voice came on.
"Judy, I need you at St. Paul's hospital right now. Narcissa is in labor with Sirius' baby and she can't take it. She needs you, Judes." His voice softened as he spoke.
"I'm coming right now. Bye Remus." She ended. He hung up the phone and ran to the lobby to wait for Judy.
Judy grabbed Hermione, who was still in her party clothes, and brought her to the car. Her car sped through the roads until traffic broke. She whispered a tiny spell and everything stopped and quieted. She muttered another spell and a blue vortex appeared. She drove into the vortex and came out in the St. Paul's parking lot. She quickly found a spot and she carried an amazed Hermione into the hospital.
Remus spotted his old girlfriend walk in through the hospital doors. She dropped a wriggling Hermione, who ran to Remus. He bent down and picked her up. He gave her an affectionate, fatherly nose brush, which made her giggle.
"You're still the same old Remus I fell in love with back in the day, aren't you?" Judy managed to say.
"Hey, just head up to the operating room by the maternity wards and sit by Sirius. I have to get Narcissa's kid from her manor." He said before Judy could say anything. She took Hermione from Remus' arms and he headed outside, where he apparated away.
Judy took Hermione's hand and led her to the O.R. She sat Hermione down on a bench and looked for Sirius. She looked into the O.R. and found Narcissa gripping Sirius' hand tightly as she pushed the baby out. Judy sat down next to Hermione when she heard a pop and a cry.
Remus was standing in front of them with Narcissa's son, Draco. He looked confused at Hermione, who looked astonished. Judy told Draco to sit next to Hermione and wait for his mommy to come out. Remus peered in the room. He saw Narcissa cradling a baby in her arms and Sirius smiling down at her.
"What will you name her?" He heard the doctor say.
Sirius nodded at Narcissa and she said, "Lillian Judith Black" Sirius took the baby into his arms and looked at her.
Narcissa then said, "She reminds me of Lilly."
Nurses swept the baby away and more nurses rolled Narcissa's bed back into her room. She slept soundly for while. The nurses were cleaning up Lilly and Sirius and Remus had brought Draco and Hermione to the nursery to let them watch Lilly.
A few hours later, at about 4:00 P.M, Narcissa woke up and they brought Lilly into her room. Sirius walked in, holding Draco's hand. Remus and Judy followed them with Hermione in the middle. Judy lifted Hermione up and Sirius lifted Draco up. They both looked in amazement as they looked at the tiny baby.
"Her name's Lillian Judith Black, or Lilly." Narcissa said to the two kids.
"Mommy," Draco began, "Is Lilly my sister?"
"Oh, Draco honey, yes, she is, but your daddy won't like her. That's why Auntie Judy's here." Narcissa answered the little boy. She looked up at Judy, "Judes, will you take her? Adopt her? Give her the family she'll never have with me?"
Silent tears came out of Judy's face as she stared at her best friends questioning face. "Yes, Narcissa. I'll take her in." She hugged her friend gently as not to hurt the fragile body that lay in between.
Narcissa kissed her daughter's head gently, "I promise to visit you all the time. I'll even bring your brother along. I'm sorry." She handed the baby to Judy and looked away.
"Goodbye Narcissa." She whispered quietly. Remus magicked a stroller and Judy gently laid Lilly in it. She walked out with Remus and told the nurses what she was told to do. She was given a stack of papers to fill out. Hermione stayed with her 'Uncle' Remus as her mother snuck off to an empty room.
Judy Drew out her wand and magically filled out the papers. She walked out of the room and found Hermione asleep on Remus' lap. She handed the papers to the secretary, who looked them over quickly and stamped them with approval.
Remus carried Hermione out to Judy's car as she pushed the stroller. She unhooked the car seat that came with the stroller and put it in her car. Remus laid the sleeping figure of Hermione in her car seat. He stood up and looked at Judy. He smiled at her before walking back to the hospital. Judy hopped in the driver's seat and drove home with the two sleeping children.
Lilly grew up to be exactly a mix of all the three women who she was named after and born from, with a little touch of her mischievous father in her. She, of course, like her brother and sister, was signed up for Hogwarts since that day when Judy took Lilly. She knew about her real mother and brother, who visited her often. She knew about her father, but knew not how he looked like because he was in the wizard prison, Azkaban. Her adoptive father, John, loved her dearly but paid less attention to her. John, at Hermione's age of 14 and Lilly's age of 10, had died of liver failure. Her real brother's father had been killed. (A/N: you have to guess.) Now, Lilly is ready to finally attend her first year at Hogwarts, as Lillian Judith Black.
