Chapter 4
Potter Manor
Almost ten year has pass since the fall of Lord Voldemore. Two clocked figure emerge in Godric Hollows slowly moving toward the Potter Manor.
"Prongs get down here!" One of the figure emerge from the traveling clocke bellows.
Another figure could be heard jumping down the stairs. Quickly crossing the room embracing his long time friend reuniting the infamous or famous Madra depending on which side of the prank you end on by them. "Padfoot! Moony! Merlin it's been too long, I see that you guys finally finish running mission for the Order." Gesturing for his friends to take a seat near the fire place, "Wicky bring a bottle of fire whisky for three and some snacks, and ready the guest rooms."
A house elf pop into the room and just as quick poping back out with the drink and snack poping in seconds later.
The three men spend the night indulging in fire whisk and exchange event of last ten years. Until they fell asleep on the couch or a least two out of three did while one other made his way to the well know guest room before falling asleep on the newly made bed.
The next day
Moony Madura's resident werewolf was first to awoke to the smell of house elf setting breakfast, enhances werewolf five senses come in handy in time such as these once in awhile. Eating the breakfast that were set on the table, not soon after the rest of the Madras joins in to consume the irresistible food on the table.
Curious Remus ask half way through breakfast consuming his food in a more sedate speed, "James where is Lily, Alex, and Eclipse?"
Looking up James swallow with some difficulty before replying, "Lily and Alex left early this morning to Diagon Ally to purchase supplies for Hogwarts."
Sirius finally joining the conversation asked before Remus could, "What about Eclipse?"
James face darkens some what went unnoticed by Sirius though not Remus, "She didn't receive any letter, likely a squib. A disgrace to the Potter line a squib can you believe it?!"
Remus who had seen Eclipse done her accidental magic quite often when she was a child know for a fact that she couldn't be a squib. Sensing the tension in the room Remus excuse himself to find Eclipse who he look after even if Sirius is her actual god father while he is Alex's.
Remus made his way to the Northern wings of the Potter manor the more secludes area furthest away where Eclipse room located. The further he walk the lest portraits he see though some of the painting are priceless including the four of founders of Hogwarts, he had suspected that it had been there for many generations, he remember James said that he try to move the portraits to the main room of the house but the painting stuck to the wall no amount of spell could of have taken it down. Finally stopping before a portrait of a herd of Unicorn and sprits under the full moon, which Eclipse painted her self when I ask once 'who painted since there was no signature?'
Before I could say the pass word few house elf pop in beside me, I recognize a Potter head house elf and few other that often look after Eclipse when she was a child. Instead of saying the password to gain entrance I was more curious to why the house elf's are here, "Why are you all here?"
The head of the house reply in perfect speech he learn to please the pervious Potter mistress, "We have been waiting a long time to once again enter mistress room, she had order us not to enter until you have come before her door."
Fearing the worst Remus quickly shouted, "Moonlight Chase Goddess of Hunt." The portrait quickly swung open. Rush his way in the house elf's quickly follows.
I had fear the worst when I heard of Eclipse order to the house elf's she had always prefer to clean her own room yet she had never forbade house elf's entrance to her room without my company. Once I enter her room the first thing I smell were room full of dust yet Eclipse scent were faint, like she had not been there in a long time. Opening her closet and draws there were barely anything in them nothing but a few dress, shirts and pants. Nothing that could indicate a person had ever live in the room. All of the books that I had given her are gone as well as few others.
I look around the house elf's were doing much the same they found nothing more than I had. Loopy head of the house elf draw the same conclusion as I had. He made his way toward me with sadness in his eyes like other house elf in the room. He handed me a letter, "Perhaps this will explain, she left this the day she give us her order."
I open the letter while trying to calm myself to be concurrent enough to read:
To whom this letter may concern:
This letter may have written a day ago, a week ago, a month ago, or perhaps a year or two?Moony you must have been the one to open this letter first, no matter how long it had been unless you are unable then it must have been Pad.
I have written this letter behind for those who had care for me, I had chosen this path just as Dumbledore chosen my brother as the one who live condemn me to the life I had. For many ways I'm grateful for I'm not raise as spoiled as my brother.
Mark my word one day I'll return to claim my right, righting the wrong that have been brought by ignorance. Moony I know to other it may seem to be word of a jealous child or a child's dream but it's not. Just as I know you Moony, you know its not.
Pad just as I love Moony you both are still my god father. You may have not seen as much as Moony but you still my godfather. I asked that you keep this letter a secret just as Moony would.
Sincerely,
Eclipse C-Potter
I could not believe that Eclipse is gone, the letter dated four years ago. Yet her parent own blood didn't even realize. Anger roll off me in waves just how dense were Lily and James to forget their own flesh and blood, living being for four years yet not notice that she was gone. I wanted to punch James and start yelling at him to amend his mistake and to find Eclipse. But just as Eclipse want it to remain a secret I would promise her at least that much for it's her matter to settle.
Leaving the house elf's that start their cleaning ritual to clean their mistress room. The title that the house elf's had refer to Eclipse puzzle's me, to refer a member of a house they serve as master or mistress they are either head of the house or heir to the house. Eclipse couldn't have been heir could she? She was born after Alex.
Making my way back to the main wings of Potter Manor I first saw Sirius.
