I sat on the train, very frightened. What would happen when I got there?
Lupin had asked me to go here. "Come on! Cele, is you don't go, who will?" he pleaded.
"I don't know Remus!" I told him.
"Harry needs you! We have to keep the truth secret!" Remus said. "Alright! I will go!" I gave in.
I am Celeste Donohue. Remus has been my boyfriend for what seems like forever. Lily and I were friends way back when we went to Hogwarts. I was god-mother of Harry and, of course, Remus and I were god-parents of Lei. I guess I should start in the beginning. It was a cold, rainy night. Remus was at my house, spending the night. He fell asleep on the couch and woke me up when the call came.
"Cele? I think you should take this phone call," he whispered.
"Oh, all right!" I said. I stood up and walked over to the phone. Sirius was on the other line.
"James and Lily are dead, Cele! They are dead!" he cried.
"What???" I asked.
"Voldemort killed them!" he cried.
"Oh, Sirius!" I cried with him. "Hagrid has Harry, but I can't find Lei. I think she might have died. I don't see her anywhere!" he told me.
"I'll be right over."
Remus and I drove through the rain, to house. I could hear cries in the living room.
My stomach quivered when I saw Lily and James. Or what you could say was left of Lily and James. Sirius was in the nursry, walking through piles of rubble. "She is here," he whispered. The little toddler with red hair was lying down in a bed. I noticed a scar on her cheek. It was distinct and was in the shape of a star*.
"Oh, Remus!" I said. Remus hugged me and I picked up the infant.
"I know, I know," he told me.
"What will we do?" I asked.
Remus flew as far away as he could. He left Lei in Australia, where she was raised by the Litocks, a famous wizard family. Lei was to lead a different life.
