If you are reading this on a fanfiction site, do you think I own Harry Potter?
I walked into the building where the dark mark was looming over it. I saw a man, Sirius Black, crying in the front room.
"Hey, Padfoot. What happened? Who did they..." I couldn't bear finishing the sentence.
"Lilly and Prongs. I couldn't find Zoey. I think he took her." Sirius said between sobs.
I heard the door open to reveal a death eater. I quick drew my wand to his neck.
"I mean no harm. Here you can take my wand. Is it true? About Lilly?" The death eater asked as I snatched his wand still pointing mines at him.
"Why should you care? You and that low down little snake killed my best friend. You have the nerve to ask." I said.
"Please, let me see her. Let me see Lilly. He promised he wouldn't hurt her. Only the child. That is all he wanted." He said tearing up.
"You have no right here. You h-" I was cut off by Sirius.
"Let him go. Let him see Lilly. You have his wand. Go with him to see her. If he try anything, you will know."
I looked at Sirius like he was crazy, which he was. I decided to let him go because Sirius did have a point. "Go." I said following him up to the bedroom. The death eater stepped over James and cried over Lilly's corpse. I felt a lump in my throat when I saw James and Lilly. The worse part was seeing poor Harry not understanding what was going on.
I wanted to leave to try to find Zoey, but I couldn't leave the death eater with Harry. My problem was solved when the death eater stood up and disappeared, his wand leaving with him. That was impossible, but I ran with it. I figured out why when Hagrid came into view of the house. He was a block away. I knew it was him because he was eight feet tall.
I looked into every room with luck of finding her. "Hey, what cha doin'?" Hagrid asked. "Oh, just looking for a necklace. It meant a lot to Lilly. I just... well, you know." I said when he caught me looking in Lilly's jewelry box. it was supposed to be given to the first Potter girl of James and Lilly.
"Oh. Well, I better be on my way. Harry needs to get to Dumbledore. We have quiet the way to go, Harry and I." Hagrid told me. He had clearly been crying. His eyes were bloodshot and his beard looked soaked.
"Lilly and James would be proud that you out of all people got Harry to safety." I said trying to cheer him up. Hagrid quickly left with Harry on a flying motor cycle. I finally found the necklace in a neat package under the bed.
I suddenly heard crying in the attic of the house. I quickly ran up to see the small girl wrapped in a pink blanket. She was seven or eight months old by now. "Mama, dada." She cried out. She has fair skin, black hair, and pretty gray eyes. Next to her was a bottle with a note attached.
Hello, if you are reading this it means Lilly and James are dead. We hope you are one of our close friends. Moony, Padfoot, or Princess. I am Princess. Please look after Zoey. We have a strong felling Harry will be fine, but no one knows about young Zoey besides you three. Please never let anyone know who she is. I love you all and I hope you are well.
-Lilly and James Potter.
I wanted to cry over the note, but I had to be brave for Zoey. "Hello, little one. Let's go." I picked her up and she sucked her thumb and put her head on my shoulder. I grabbed her bottle and said goodbye to Sirius. I apperated to Hogmeade. I walked to Hogwarts.
"Professor Summers, where did the child come from?" Professor Sprout asked. "My sister died, okay. I am her godmother so I have to look after her. Do you have a problem with that?" I asked. I am Zoey's godmother so I am not lying.
"No, I am so sorry for you lost. I have good and bad new." She said awkwardly.
"What is it?" I asked even though I already knew what she was going say.
"Lilly and James are dead. But He-Who-Shall not be named is gone. Their child Harry defeated him. Isn't that great news." Professor Sprout tried to focus on the good.
"Did you just say two of my best friends are dead? This day could not get worse." I said leaving the entrance hall to my sleeping chambers. I transfigured a cup into a table. I made the table into the baby's bed.
"Hey, Zoey. I am you mama now. Say mama." I told her. "Mama, mama." She said bouncing on my leg. I didn't have anything dangerous in my room so I let her walk around.
A few hours of Zoey and I playing together I heard a knock on the door. "Come in." I invited.
"Rosabel, I heard your sister died. I am terribly sorry for your lost. This is her daughter yes. What is her name?" Professor Dumbledore asked.
I realized that I could protect her farther by renaming her. "Her name is Astrid." I said. I know she is going to be confused with everyone calling her Astrid instead of Zoey. It is worth it if she will be safe.
