Note from the Author: I do not own Harry Potter or any of the character's listed in the books created by J.K. Rowling. They are her property and I'm very thankful that she created such magical characters. I do however own all the original character's that appear in the story so please do not steal them or use them without my permission. Thank you. The events in the story take place after The Order Of The Phoenix therefore most of the other characters are still alive. I hope you enjoy the story. Reviews are welcomed.

Title: Harry Potter & The Well Kept Secret

Rated PG-13

Prologue

It was a dark night, the kind that made it seem as though everything had gone completely silent. In the midst of the wooded area stood a small weathered house concealed by the surrounding trees. One would have barely noticed it's existence unless they had been looking for it. Tonight one single room was illuminated as the scream of a woman broke through the silence.

"Your doing great Selene, just one more"

A few moments later the sound of babies crying could be heard inside the house. The woman, Selene looked tired but the sparkle in her emerald eyes let the world know that she had never been happier. In each arm she held a tiny newborn baby. Gingerly she placed a kiss on each one's forehead as she closed her eyes tiredly.

"What will you name them?"

Opening her eyes slowly again she looked down at the babies considering the question for a moment. "Dani Artemis and Ceres Aphrodite Black", she finally answered giving a small smile pleased with her choice. The most difficult task in naming them for her had been whether or not to give them their father's last name. In the end however she felt that it would be wrong to rob them of their birthright and last name. It was only fair that they had something of his aside from some of their features.

"So you intend on telling Sirius then?"

Her eyes glanced up at her beast friend warily. They had had this talk many times before and her decision had always remained the same. "Remus we've talked about this. Sirius can never know. Promise me that you will never tell him", she pleaded with him. Things with Sirius had become complicated as of late. They had only recently become a couple and then things had changed. They were both aware that it wasn't going to be easy with Voldemort gaining power but she had been committed to the idea of them. Sirius however, had seemed to change his mind as he began to grow more and more distant. And then came those harsh words that she would never forget. A few days after she had discovered she was pregnant.

Remus for his part just sat there silently in the shadows as he struggled inwardly. Both Sirius and Selene were close friends of his but he still felt that Sirius had a right to know about his children. He was just about to say us much when he glanced over at her seeing the desperation in her eyes. Caving in he gave a small sigh of defeat before giving a nod. "I still think he has the right to know, but I swear that he will not hear about it from me".

Feeling assured now Selene relaxed and closed her eyes holding her children close to her protectively as she began to drift off to sleep. Tomorrow with the help pf Remus once more she would leave everything behind her and start anew in the States.
