Prologue
Remus Lupin was sitting in a big chair in front of a huge crackling fire reminiscing on how his life had changed dramatically over the years. He was strong but one man could only stand so much. He had seen many things in his life, love, betrayal, jealousy and death. He didn't want to think of it anymore, but there were things in his life that he was very proud of. Like becoming an auror was always one of his dreams, having loving friends, and being a great person all around and the thing he was most proud of was coming toward him at warp speed.
"Daddy" she called out and hopped onto his lap. Six year old Hermione Granger looked up at her father with loving eyes.
"Hello poppet"
"Daddy I can't get to sleep can u tell me the story again".
"You mean the one about ur parents."
"Yes daddy".
"Ok." And he began
There was once a dark wizard named Voldermort, but people feared him so much they referred to him as he-who-must-not-be-named or you-know-who. He terrorized people and scared everyone who did not follow him. You see he was building a dark army, because he wanted to take over the wizarding world and muggle world alike. His followers were those who craved power they were called Death Eaters.
Death Eaters were just as evil as Voldermort himself as a matter a fact, one Death Eater named Lucious Malfoy was very evil, There was a magazine named the Quibbler and unlike the Dailey Prophet they would tell true stories about what was going on in the wizarding world. Like the rise of Voldermort. Luke Lovegood their editor was married to Leslie Lovegood
"Luna's mother daddy?" Hermione interrupted.
"Yes sweet heart"
"She's my best friend" Hermione finished.
"Yes I know." Where was I, ah yes, so Lucious Malfoy went to the building where the Quibbler was being published, where Mr. Lovegood worked.
"What did he do daddy"?
"He blew up the building". Hermione put her hands over her eyes. Now Leslie, Luna's mother was a seer and she knew this was going to happen, but when she tried to convince Luke to stay home he wouldn't hear it.
"Oh no" said a very sad Hermione.
Some time in between Narcissa Malfoy sent Draco to your uncle Sirius Black, and asked that he protect him, because she knew her life would be to unstable for a while. After he consented she went into hiding and he only heard from her in letters, twice a month saying that she was still alive and well. Sirius changed Draco's last name to Black and he has been with him ever since.
Then I was sent to protect you at your house. "Why daddy?" she asked. "Because Albus Dumbledore the headmaster of Hogwarts asked me too".
"I will go there some day too, right daddy".
"Yes pumpkin. So Professor Dumbledore sent me there to protect you, because he knew what an extraordinary witch you would turn out to be."
"Oh", she replied wiping the sleep out of her eyes. "You were a mere one years old at the time. I was a sleep in the back yard and u were a sleep in the back yard also. See your parents John and Jane Granger knew we had a strong bond, and made me promise should anything happen to them, that I would take care of you and I stand by that promise today. He paused, some death eaters by the name of Bellatrix Leastrang and Thomas Nott came to your old house when we were sleeping and attacked your parents."
I was awoken by the noises. But I couldn't leave you out there by yourself so I quietly apparated to Lily and James's house and left you in there care and came back as quick as I could. Your parents and I fought bravely beside each other, but they were non-magical people so in the end evil won. They loved you very much as I love you now.
"I love you too daddy" she said as she wrapped her little arms around his neck. A few tears slid out of his eye and he hugged his small daughter.
Ok, so back to the story. Leslie had another vision, about a prophecy and knew that Voldermort was coming to the Potter's house on the 31st of July to try and get Harry. Harry Potter, daddy; Yes sweety Harry Potter, he's your friend too. Un un boys are yucky. Yes they are sweet heart Remus laughed at his daughter. Leslie informed the order of the phoenix and James, Sirius and I had to prepare, you see we were betrayed by Peter. And now Voldermort knew where James and Lily were hiding.
So the day before we all took you, Harry, Neville and Draco to Mr. and Mrs. Weasley's house to stay while we prepared. Mrs. Weasley watched you little tikes while Mr. Weasley and the rest of us were preparing for the fight of our lives. James and Lily were researching all types of curses and hexes they could use against Voldermort. But it would all come down to he and James, and James was scared to death, even though he tried to hide it. That night we all had a talk the Marauders that is and decided what we would do if someone wasn't to make it. James had found a curse to kill Voldermort with but he wouldn't tell anyone what the curse was. The next night all of the order members were hiding at James and Lily's house.
Voldermort came with all of his death eaters expecting to catch the Potters off guard, some order members were stationed outside and around the yard. When Voldermort entered the Potters house they were about a million curses being thrown at him. Really daddy, yep, and to he was not prepared would be an understatement, the Death Eaters flooded the house and an all out war broke loose everyone was fighting. Alice and Frank Longbottom were some aurors also and they took out many Death Eaters including Thomas Nott.
Lucius Malfoy was taken down by Leslie Lovegood. Sirius took out quite a few death eaters himself. Professor Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall were fighting also. But Voldermort was weakening he obviously knew that Harry wasn't here any more, so he tried to leave but James hit him with some kind of stunner that no one heard of. And Voldermort fell to the ground, now everyone knew that Voldermort was powerful so he got up only to have a knife held to his neck by James, all fighting ceased as the scene in front of us unfolded.
James whispered something in Voldermort ear before he finished him off and till this day no one still knows what it was. With most of the Death Eaters destroyed and Voldermort gone the wizarding world went back to normal and James, Sirius, Lily, Leslie and I all became heroes. Lily took a job as a healer at St. Mungo's, Leslie took over the Quibbler, Sirius and I became aurors and James plays professional Quidditch for the Chuddley Cannons. Frank Longbottom remained an Auror and Alice took a job beside Lily as a Healer. The End
Remus looked down at his daughter who was now sleeping soundly, and he sighed. Some one put a hand on his shoulder.
"She's growing more beautiful with each and every day Remus".
"I know".
"Come now let's get her into bed".
He picked her up and carried her to her room. "It gets hard to leave her each and every time." Said Remus
"I know", Lily Potter said, "But you will be back, and we'll always be her". Remus smiled at his friend. They walked out of Hermione's guess room and into the living room.
"So how's James"? Asked Remus
"The Cannons won" replied Lily. "Yes I know" said Remus
"He's coming home soon for their championship game" Lily continued
"That's great."
They talked for a little longer and then it was time for Remus to leave. "Perhaps I'll say goodnight to her once more before I leave".
Lily nodded and followed him to Hermione's room. When they got there she was gone. "Now where could she be" Lily asked with a knowing smile, while Remus was in panic. Lily opened to door to her six year old son's room and saw Harry and Hermione lying on the bed sleeping. "Remus in here" she called out. "Oh thank Merlin", he said with a relieved sigh.
"Does she do this often" he asked after calming down. "Yes or it could go the other way around they like each others company" Lily answered him. "And here not to long ago she said that boys were yucky" Remus said with a hint of a smile on his face. Lily chuckled "yes well they pretty much are at this age" agreed Lily. "I wouldn't be surprised if they end up together" she continued. Remus scowled for a minute. Lily turned to him in mock surprise. "Now Mooney are you insinuating that my son isn't good enough for your daughter" she said with a hidden smile. "No" he answered shortly "as a matter of fact if she doesn't end up with him, I'm going to hit him across the head with his father's broom". They laughed lightly as they left the room. Harry hid a smile as he moved closer to her.
