Ok so listen my last account got all wired up so I made a new one, I'm also re-uploading all my all stories, but fixing them. This one especially needed to be fixed, it was my first fanfiction and I got a little carried away with too many stories in one so review and tell me what you think.

Right cheers m'dears :)

I own nothing


'… and when he told Voldemort where Lily and James were hiding, he had left his daughter there as well' Albus Dumbledore smiled sadly and looked at the younger man.

Remus Lupin was clutching the corner of the desk so tightly that his hands were white and his knuckles very visible, he was also leaning at an odd angle it looked like he was crumbling from the inside out.

'So it was him...?' Remus muttered darkly but forced a rather shaky calm façade 'He betrayed them, he betrayed us all Albus!' his voice had changed swiftly from his forced calm to an anguished and disgusted voice and it had risen considerably as well.

'We currently have Severus Snape and Madam Pomfrey tending to the survivors and several other aurors searching the surrounding area for Voldemort, Harry Potter and Holly black are staying with James and Lily' Dumbledore now looked up into Remus' eyes he could see doubt flicker in his eyes then uncontrollable joy.

'They're all alive! Oh Albus this is fantastic-' he was cut dead by a sudden understanding of the situation, Sirius' situation.

Dumbledore paused to look at Remus, the man was shaking his whole body tensed in expectation of the next words he already knew.

' Sirius Black has been charged with aiding Voldemort and passing information which led to attempted murder of James, Harry, Lily and Holly. He's going to Azkaban without a trial and will stay there forever, as for his daughter she will be sent to live with her relatives, I believe that the Black's will be delight-'he was suddenly looking into the eyes of a deranged man.

'I shall be taking care of Holly Black, I am her godfather.'


And after many tedious hours of fighting and examining the situation Albus finally agreed it was best for Holly to go and live with Remus though much debating followed, mostly surrounding his 'furry little problem'

The ministry were furious and tried to put every obstacle in their paths, they were, of course, very sympathetic towards the now orphaned child, her mother having died in child-birth, but were strongly against the prospect of one of the children who defeated the dark lord to go into the care of such a dark and dangerous creature. Remus put up a strong argument though, with the aide of Lily and James, as well as the Weasleys.

'Molly or Lily will take her on these nights, I'm sure they wont mind, unless… Albus they don't have anything against the child do they?.. No, no of course they don't I'm being stupid… I am sorry Albus…it's just…all this is so over-welling… I just don't know any more..' Remus muttered off looking confused and shaken.

But Dumbledore looked at the younger man with a slightly amused and exasperated expression 'Remus trust your heart that's all you can do' Remus went to get into the fire and muttered the address of his destination,

'… My heart hmmm that's what got me in this mess in the first place..'


Three weeks later Remus Lupin was signing the documents for adoption eagerly.

'Just sign here please Lupin, and you Dumbledore' said Cornelius fudge, coldly eyeing Remus up as if he might explode into Moony any minute.

' Are you sure that this is a wise decision Dumbledore, I mean he's a werewolf and this child will have enough trauma in her life without a beast raising her' Fudge finished, he watched Dumbledore draw himself to his full height

'I am only but too aware of how much you have petitioned against this fine fellow adopting Holly and I assure you that there is no one better for the job than him, we have made all the necessary arrangements for her and I am positive that we will all be happy with the outcome. After all Remus shall be working here during the year as our new defence against the darks arts teacher and we will all be keeping an eye on him and his new daughter' Dumbledore concluded with and angry glare at Fudge, who hurriedly gathered up the papers and said softly to Remus without looking at him,

'I'm sorry Remus but you have to understand, our world is biased and well…you wont believe the trouble this whole thing caused, very well then you are now officially the new guardian of Holly Canis-Luna Black, good luck son' with a small smile he left and Remus let himself smile also, just for a moment though, after all he had important business to attend to, like going to see Lily and James and little Harry.

Remus grab a fist full of green embers and threw them into the fire muttering his address clearly.

'Thank you Dumbledore, for everything I hope I see you again soon?' At this last bit Dumbledore smile

'Of course you'll be seeing me again, you're my new defence against the dark arts teacher, I thought you would have realised'

'You were serious?'

'Of course man, Now goodnight, and give my best to the Potters wont you?'

'Of course Albus, g'night'

With that Remus strolled into the warm emerald flames and felt himself be consumed entirely by them until he was in his own living room and James was sitting there with Holly.

'Are you alright James?' Remus asked, very concerned for his long time friend.

James Potter raised his eyes from Holly's to Remus', and he looked awful. Dark black rings under his puffy, angry eyes, he had a slight stubble on his face, and his robes were unclean.

His very handsome face broke into a small very fake smile.

'Moony here's his- er your-Erm well here's Holly, here, I need to see 'Mad-eye' before I go to bed' James said hurriedly then without warning he leaned forward and put his head in his hands

'I cant believe…he was my…I mean Sirius?' he paused and a gruff sob escaped his throat. 'Anyway Moony i'd best be off' He hugged his friend briefly and smiled he then disappeared into a large green fire.

Remus looked down at Holly she didn't look like her mother at all, she was very much a more feminine version on Sirius.

She had long black curls and tiny bangs, she had Sirius' eyes as well as his hair, and as Remus sighed and looked at her tiny face her big brown eyes opened and gazed at him curiously.

Her small red lips broke into a four toothed devilish grin.

~Good god~ Thought Remus ~is this child anything but her father, same mouth, hair, eyes, smile…~ as he watched intently her long lashed eyes closed slowly and softly and gradually the silent room was filled with the tiny whooshing of air as they baby breathed evenly and comfortably.

He contented himself for a while watching the tiny movement her chest but finally heaved himself out of the chair in his cosy living room and carried her off into a small pink nursery with glittery decorative butterflies everywhere.

He shook his head, Lily always did know how to overdo something, he chuckled quietly and tucked Holly into the cot in the centre of her room, also pink, he noted slightly sourly it was too girly in here.

'Goodnight sweetheart' he whispered softly kissing her smooth cheek gently and exited her room but left the door opened wide.

He had two baby monitors in there, he was feeling nervous already with the child here now.

'Well, it can only get better from here' muttered Remus several minuets later as he collapsed into bed fully clothed and slowly nudged himself under the duvet and closed his weary eyes.

Remus went to sleep almost immediately and he should be glad he did because if he knew what was coming, if he knew that more than a decade from now he would be reunited with Sirius, or that as he slept dark forces around him were conversing and muttering about what to do about this little unfortunate revelation, what to do about Black and Potter.

No, Remus didn't know anything about what was about to come, anything about what would warp his life, so for now he slept quite soundly, and for a while he was content with his life.
