Chapter 1 How it all Began
*Indicates Moony speaking*
From the very first moment, Remus had known there was something special about Hermione Granger. It would take several years to figure out just how truly special she was. One thing was certain, he had never met anyone like her. Glass of firewhiskey in hand, Remus watched her and Harry thru the kitchen window. Hearing a sound behind him, he tore his eyes from the teens. Turning around he saw his lover, and knew the time for their story to be told. He quickly downs the last of his firewhiskey and heads for the living room.
Remus takes a seat, and surveys the others in the room. These were the council member for the Quileute tribe, and the tribes protectors.
"I suppose the best thing to do is to tell you the story from the beginning."
He pauses briefly, but a nod of encouragement from his lover helped him begin.
"My childhood was not ideal. My father was a wizard. My mother a muggle. That means non magical. This makes me a half blood. My father worked for the ministry in the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures. He was very outspoken in his negative opinions of those with Lycanthrope, werewolves. He went too far in voicing those opinions of what he called monsters. And in retaliation, one decided to turn his son into a monster as well. I was 4 when I was bitten. I grew up thinking I was a monster and would never have friends or a family of my own. I didn't have that until I turned 11 and was given the opportunity to go to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry."
Steadying his breath, he tells the about the Marauders, his family, his pack. He gave a small background for the others. He tells of their triumphs and of their struggles. How the others became animagi for him. He tells about James and Lily getting married, and the birth of Harry. Smiling at Sirius, he tells them how Sirius became Harry's godfather. Remus tells them about Voldemort rising to power, the prophesy, and what it meant to them. How this one prophesy could have meant either The Potters, or The Longbottoms. He tells about the protections put in place for both the Longbottoms and the Potters.
Here he struggles and looks at his mate Sirius, asking him to take over.
"James had asked me to be their secret keeper. He knew I would never betray them. We were brothers, closer than my actual brother. I was worried I would be the obvious choice because of our close friendship. At last minute, I convinced them to use Peter instead. He would have been the last one they would expect to be the secret keeper. It was my insistence to making the change that would ultimately cost me the lives of my brother and sister in law. It turns out that Peter was an even bigger rat than even we could have imagined. He turned over their location to Voldemort."
Tears stream down both their faces as Sirius proceeds to tell them about that fateful Halloween of 1981. How both James and Lily gave their lives to protect baby Harry.
"By the time I arrived the house was In ruins. I saw James first, laying partially under some rubble. I raced to upstairs to find Lily lying on the nursery floor, but I didn't see my godson. There was a body that lay next to his crib. As I went to turn it over, I heard Harry crying. I found him downstairs with Hagrid. I told Hagrid I would take Harry but he refused. Saying he was to take him to Dumbledore. I told him to take my motorbike, I wouldn't need it any longer. Half mad with grief I went looking for Peter, fully expecting to find him having perished. But I was wrong. He was very much alive. When Peter saw me he fled. I traced him to a muggle neighborhood. Upon my arrival he began throwing curses at me yelling as loud as he could that I had murdered the Potters. Of course, all this attracted the attention of the muggles. We were trading spells back and forth when he turned, aimed at the crowd behind me, and blew up the street. In the confusion that followed, I missed the rat cutting off his own finger, transforming and escaping. He killed 12 innocent muggles that night."
Sirius pauses, and takes a shuddering breath before he continued.
"By the time the Aurors, our policemen, arrived, I could only think that everything was my fault. James, Lily, all those muggles. Their blood was on my hands. All I could do was laugh hysterically. Over and over again. I think they were sure I was crazy, but really it was all I could do not to breakdown sobbing. They of course took this as a sign of my guilt and hauled me to Azkaban without a trial. I spent 12 years in that hell, I was afraid I would lose my mind with the dementors guarding the cells. It was by sheer luck I had one rare happy moment after I had been there less than 2 weeks. I managed to turn into Padfoot, just as the guards came by."
Sirius looks lost in his thoughts as he continued his story.
"I found the dementors did not affect me as Padfoot. I transformed as often as I could managed during patrols. One day I managed by some stroke of fate, to get the newspaper from Minister, who happened to be visiting there. And who should I see on the front page but that rat. Fat, and perched on the shoulder of Ron Weasley. Who happened to be attending Hogwarts, with Harry. I knew I had to escape, I had to kill him. Years of poor care, starving, and I was able to slip thru the bars as Padfoot. I ran as fast as I could and jumped into the cold water and swam for it. I made my way to Hogwarts as quickly as I could. Stealing food, newspapers, hiding and listening when the news if my escape became known to both the muggle and wizarding world. I had to save Harry. "
Sirius trails off as his eyes seem to swim with the memories of Azkaban. Reaching over, Remus takes his hand. Instantly, Sirius Comes back to himself and managed a small smile for Remus. As Remus prepares to tell them about meeting the kids that first time, a voice speaks up.
"I thought you were going to tell us the story of Orion and Arielara? So far you have only mentioned this Harry kid."
Sharing a look with Sirius, Remus raises his eyebrow and answers.
"Harry and Orion are one in the same. When we ran we changed both the children's names to help protect them. Harry became Orion Black."
It was then one of the council members asked another question.
"And Arielara?"
The question was asked by Billy Black, Sirius' cousin.
"Arielara Lupin become my daughter thru blood adoption when she was 15. In our world was known as Hermione Granger, the brightest witch of her age."
Remus waves his wand toward the kitchen and summons a bowl like item.
"From here it might be easier to show you what happened rather than tell it. Thanks to Arielara, you will be able to see both mine, and her points of view. She created this spell when she was only 16."
He puts the bowl on the table in front of him and explains what is about to happen.
"This is a pensieve. It is used for to store and view memories. Usually a viewer would have to dip his head in to view the memories. But this spell acts as a projector of sorts and will show the memories like a movie. Now as you know Orion will be referred to as Harry in most of these memories. Arielara, not only will she be called Hermione, but also Amaris (Mari for short). She will also look different. This is due in part to several things. Blood adoption, transferred certain characteristics of me to her, as well currently wearing a glamour. A glamour charm can hide a person's true appearance. This is merely to protect her for just a while longer."
He pulls out several 2 glass vials, empties them in the pensieve and sets up the scene they will see first.
"This is the year I met the kids, please ask any questions you need to. We can pause the memories and answer them as needed."
After waiting for nods from around the room, he points his wand at the pensive and says, "Ostende Memoriae."
Just like he had explained the images appeared as though projected from the bowl and they were able to watch the memories.
AUTHOR NOTE: From here, will be the memories of both Hermione, Sirius and Remus. I have tried to mark each POV with a name to help keep them straight. Also starting in the next chapter, Moony will be making am appearance. I have also tried to keep these marked differently so it is obvious. Any questions, comments or reviews are welcome!
