Chapter One: An Unexpected Visit

"No," I said shaking my head. "No."

"Charlotte Susan this is not a choice you are going and that is final. I'm barley able to care for you now," my mum said tears filling her eyes. We were at St. Mungo's and she was telling me the final plans for my future care before an unknown illness took her life.

"Why can't I go live with Dora? Even Narcissa would be better than him," I said the last word with as much venom as possible.

"Because you need a father," her voice cracked and a single tear fell down her pale cheek.

"He hasn't needed me for thirteen years why on God's green earth do I need him now?"

"I think you two need each other more than either of you realize," she said softly brushing a strand of dark brown hair out of her eyes. "Please trust me darling." I kneeled down beside her and she pressed a cold hand to my face.

"Fine," I whispered.

I heard footsteps coming from behind me. "Miss Black you have a visitor," the kind faced healer, who had been taking care of my mum for the past few months, walked in her shoes making a hollow click on the tile floor.

I nearly hissed when I saw the man behind the healer. "Severus it has been to long," mum said smiling at the horrid man standing behind the healer. Slowly I moved away into a chair on the opposite side of the room. I closed my eyes and focused on changing the color from my usual innocent blue to blood red.

"Charlotte!"

"What?" I replied sharply, my eyes snapping open. Out of the corner of my eye I noticed the ends of my hair turning a brilliant red. "Stupid hormones making me lose control" I thought bitterly.

"You are much like your cousin Nymphadora I see," the man said coolly.

"Maybe," I said shortly returning my hair to the short, black curls I favored but keeping my eyes red. "I'm going to make a floo call," I said standing up and facing mum.

"Say 'Hi' to Remus for me," mum replied as I walked out of the room. She knew the only person I called by floo was Remus. I looked up to him a lot after he helped me with the werewolf thing. I took my bag of floo powder from my pocket and threw a handful into the visitor fire. "Remus," I called.

"Charlotte what a surprise," Remus smiled at me from the flames.

"Mum brought my father here and I think the time is coming closer. She wants me to live with him and go to Hogwarts and she won't even consider letting me stay with Dora!" I explained.

"You should give him a chance Charlotte your mother wouldn't have brought him there if she hadn't thought it was best for you," he replied.

"But...,"

"Miss Black," a healer interrupted and I jumped not realizing she was in the room. "I'm sorry to interrupt you but your mother has passed I am sorry," with that he walked away. I stared blankly after the man a million different things running through my head. I barley registered the roar of the fire behind me as Remus stepped out from the flames.

"Charlotte," Remus' voice was like a distant ring in my ears as everything fell into place. My mum was dead; I was going to have to live with my father who had abandoned my mum before I was born. The world around me began spinning before everything faded to black.
