AN- Hey All! I must say, I am not really happy with the results of my last chapter of
O Mio Babbino Caro. So if you want another chapter, you better review!
Disclaimer: Anything you don't recognize is mine, including my original character. I took about two weeks, just to come up with her name, and then decide what she was going to look like. So don't you dare take her without my permission! Anything else though, is not mine. Sadly, I don't have that much originality to come up with such characters including Harry, Hermione, Ginny and Ron. They belong to JK. Rowling.
Okay, so this starts at the home of our favorite Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor Remus Lupin! Someone comes to Lupin's flat, but don't worry, nobody is going to die. The person who comes is good, and knows Lupin very well. That's all I'm going to say.
Ok, now on with the story!
Unexpected Twists

It was a cool July night on Beacon Avenue, and Remus Lupin had just sat down in his comfy reading chair when there was a knock at the door. He stood slowly, placing his book, "Wolfsbane: Poisonous Medicine.", on the chair, and tiptoed over to the window to see who was there through the shade. Recognizing who was there, Remus breathed a sigh of relief and quickly opened the door.
Standing there was a considerably tall woman, who had a large cloak wrapped around her slender figure, making it hard to see her face. The only thing that could be seen from under the cloak was a wisp of her shiny red hair. Remus quickly ushered the girl inside the flat and shut the door, locking it. He then turned to face the cloaked woman.
"I need to talk to you Uncle Remus." The woman whispered, her voice sounding soft and delicate.
"Please, sit down" Remus replied, picking up his book, and waving her to the chair. She took at seat, and Remus pulled another chair over to sit across from her. The woman took a deep breath.
"Uncle, I know you said that I couldn't go to Hogwarts, and I respect that, but a little after Dumbledore died, I received a letter. The letter was from Dumbledore, explaining to me that since I had gotten the note that meant that he had died. Harry needs me there, Uncle; he needs the protection that Dumbledore can't give him anymore." Remus let out a deep sigh. He knew this was going to happen, and he knew that Dumbledore was going to send her that note. He just wished that the note that the woman was talking about wouldn't have been sent until the Dark Lord was defeated, leaving her instructions pointless to fulfill. Remus stood up and walked over to the fire, looking into it as he spoke.
"So what you mean to tell me is that you are going to go to Hogwarts, whether I like it or not, and that's final?" Remus said, turning slightly toward the woman, smiling slightly. The woman stood up and walked over to Remus, standing next to him by the fire.
"Yes, Uncle that is what I'm telling you and you can't stop me, because tomorrow I will officially be of age." The woman smiled sadly. "Plus, it's the only way to insure that Harry is safe. Let's face it; Dumbledore is gone, and he's never coming back. Dumbledore left me with a job, and if I don't do that job, the future of our world will be anything but peaceful. The future is in my hands as much as it is in Harry's now." Remus looked at the young woman, with a look of realization on his face.
"Oh, yes, about that, I got you a gift…." Remus said, walking over to an end table that had a square shaped package, wrapped in midnight blue colored paper. He then walked back over to the woman, giving her the package. The woman then went over to the chair, sitting back down, looking at the package for a minute, before carefully ripping the paper. She then looked down at what she had unwrapped. There was a beautiful burgundy journal, and her name written in gold cursive on the front, as well as a gold ribbon tied in a bow to keep the journal closed. She opened the journal, revealing the parchment pages inside. The first page had some writing on it, and she began to read.
Hello there! My name is Evangeline, and I am your journal. I am a magical journal, one that will be like a friend, who talks to you when you wish to speak, or well, write to me. Although I was bought in a store, I do have a mind of my own, and our conversations will obviously be completely between you and me, unless you tell someone about them. I am not being controlled by someone, I can assure you that. What is amazing about me is that whenever you need me, I'm here, and it doesn't matter what time of day or night it is; you can always come to me. The only thing you need to do first is write about yourself, that way I can know you, as you will learn about me as you write in this journal.
The woman looked up, smiling at her uncle. She never thought that this would be one of the gifts she got for her birthday. Though she thought that journals, diaries, and anything that you wrote your thoughts in were considered to show complete insanity, she loved the gift. She had never actually had any real friends through her childhood, and to have something that would not only listen and hold her thoughts, but then tell you their thoughts right back, well that was just ingenious. She loved magic.
"Uncle Remus, it's amazing! Thank you!" She woman stated, jumping up and giving her uncle a humungous hug. Remus laughed.
"Well, I thought you might like it, and also, do you like the gold writing on the front?" The woman closed the book, looking at the burgundy cover once more, and reading the gold cursive on the front:
Alison Lily Potter
Alison smiled, hugging her uncle, and godfather once again.
"Yes, I love it."
