AN: Well Cassie (trust me you'll learn to see the two names going together) has a story about Harry having a younger sister, well she gave me permission to rewrite it if only for the House sorting. Now seriously this is going to test my bounds because I have never read the books. I know, save the gasps… I might, MIGHT, read them later on, but for now I'm going solely off the movies. Each movie is a different story. So this story is The Sorcerer's Stone. So let's see where this goes, shall we? Sit back, relax, and enjoy!
Disclaimer: I only own Paige Potter!

Remus, Tonks, Sirius, and Dumbledore stood outside the home of the Dursley's on Halloween night. They were chilled to the bones, but not because of the cold air whipping around them. No, they were all in mourning.
"Are you sure they have to stay here? Remus, Sirius, and I have room" Tonks pleaded with Dumbledore. Her normally pink hair was dull and black. Albus shook his head.
"They need to stay in the muggle world. Harry and Paige will know the legacy of their name when the time is right, but for now they have to stay here." Tonks wanted to cry. Her godchildren were going to be left with these… these… muggles!
"Professor Dumbledore, may," Remus cleared his throat. The concealed sobs were choking him. "May we watch over them to be sure they are at least being treated right?" Albus looked over three of the best wizards and witch her knew.
"Of course Remus. You three must protect them until it is time for Hogwarts. Make sure no danger comes to them" he said. Remus and Sirius nodded while Tonks held the sleeping children.
"We love you" she whispered before kissing them each on the forehead. She quickly walked up to the front door and set them down next to each other before walking back to Remus, who quickly enveloped her in his arms. They made themselves invisible as Remus used magic to ring the doorbell. They watched quietly as Vernon opened the door and picked up the two bundles, looking around for whoever left them, before he brought them inside and shut the door.

Paige sat on her bed and held a flashlight up under her blankets so she could read while Harry slept. It was a tiny room they shared at their Aunt Petunia and Uncle Vernon's house. If Vernon had his way, she and Harry would be locked up under the stairs. Thankfully they had their protectors.
She was just a few months old when her parents were murdered and she and Harry had been sent to live with Petunia and Vernon, with only their guardians as their saving grace. Sirius had been named Harry's godfather and Remus was hers. Remus's wife, Tonks, was both of their godmothers. Paige loved Aunt Dora because she kept the boys in line, well most of the time.
"You should be sleeping, little one" Remus said as he slipped his head under her blankets.
"I am sleeping, see? Honk shoo honk shoo" Paige said, pretending to snore. Remus chuckled.
"You, little one, have been spending way too much time with Sirius."
"Actually Aunt Dora taught me that one" she grinned. Remus chuckled softly and shook his head as Paige turned off the light and closed the book, wiggling around in the bed. He sat on the edge and brushed her hair away from her face. "Uncle Sirius is not as much fun when he comes to check on us." Remus nodded.
"I know, but just because he doesn't give you the same attention right now isn't because he doesn't love you because I know for a fact that Sirius Black loves you both very much. He's really worried though about Harry going to Hogwarts." Paige nodded.
"I know, but won't Harry be safe there?" Remus nodded.
"In theory yes, but times are dark, little one. Many battles still need to be fought and the biggest one will be Voldemort" Remus said. The name sent shivers over Paige. "But now, how was your day?" Paige shrugged.
"I read all day, did some dishes, and helped Harry make dinner." Remus nodded a frown on his face. "When is the next moon?"
"Two weeks, little one. Don't worry, Aunt Dora will stay with you like always" Remus said. Paige nodded. Remus was the closest thing to a father Paige had and she was very much a daddy's girl. Remus did nothing to sway her from that mentality. "Now, go to sleep. Aunt Dora is coming in the morning to talk with Petunia and Vernon."
"What about Dudley?"
"What about him little one?" Paige shrugged.
"I just don't like him and don't like being alone around him. Harry always makes sure he's with me when Dudley's home." Remus nodded, making a mental note to tell Tonks about it when they both got home.
"Sleep, little one, or Aunt Dora won't come. I'll send Uncle Sirius" he said, a smile on his lips. Paige laughed before she snuggled down for the night.
"Remus?" She fidgeted in her bed. He smiled down at her. "Will you stay with me for a little bit?" He ran his hand over her head before stretching out uncomfortably on the mattress next to her. She curled up against his side, her eyes closing. "Night, dad" she mumbled, already mostly asleep. Remus smiled and kissed her forehead.
"Goodnight, little one."

Remus slipped out of Paige's bed just before dawn. He checked on Harry just to make sure before he disapparitioned back to Grimmauld Place to check in with the others. He was pleasantly surprised when his pink haired wife greeted him.
"Wotcher, Remus. How are they?" she asked. Remus smiled at her gently.
"Harry slept through the night, but something is bugging Paige and I don't know what it is." Tonks sighed and leaned her head against his shoulder.
"She'll be fine, Remus. She has us and most importantly she has you. You mean a lot to Paige and we can get through this hurdle just like we will get through Harry going to school." Remus kissed the top of her head.
"What are we going to do with her when he leaves?" Tonks shrugged.
"I don't know yet, but we'll figure it out." Remus nodded and repeated Tonks' favorite phrase.
"We'll get through it. We always do." Tonks smirked as she pulled away.
"Now that's the spirit!"
