A/N: I don't own. Sad, I know. And this chapter was very hard to write, given what happens in it.

I couldn't understand why my aunt was so sad. I couldn't understand why Kingsley looked like he was getting ready to cry all the time. I couldn't understand why my aunt suddenly wanted to go to England. I didn't understand why she was taking me, or why we weren't going to the Potters' like last time we came to England

When we saw Remus, I thought I knew why he looked so strained, the full moon had been a day or so ago. But when I saw the tears falling down his face, a new, different thought entered my mind. But it wasn't mine, because Lily and James had been perfectly healthy when I saw them last, so those bodies on the floor, clearly dead, couldn't be the people I considered family. But I had to keep my calm.

"Remus, where are Lily, James, Sirius and Harry at?" Even I knew that it wouldn't turn out good if people knew I could read minds.

My aunt burst into tears and Kingsley forced his own tears back. My uncle turned to comfort my aunt, nodding at Remus. "You haven't told her." Head shake from depressed cousin. "Cleo, this-well, this is a funeral."

I searched the grounds again. This was a depressing scene. "Who is it for, Remus?"

He sighed and choked back more tears. "This is Lily and James' funeral, Cleo. They died a few days ago. Do you remember when Lily wrote and told you they had to hide so that Voldemort wouldn't get them?" I nodded. "Well, he got them anyhow, so he killed them. And, Sirius, well, Sirius is the-the reason that Voldemort k-killed them. Harry is with Lily's sister and her family right now. Professor Dumbledore didn't think is appropriate for him to be here today, being so young and the cause for Voldemort's downfall."

Aunt Clara stopped the flow of tears for a brief moment. "But where's Peter? I would've thought that he'd be here today, you guys were close."

Remus sighed and blinked repeatedly. "Sirius killed him, Clara. Peter cornered Sirius after Lily and James were killed, and Sirius killed him."

I backed away from them. "No! Sirius isn't a bad man! He wouldn't do that. Did he even get a trial?!"

Remus knelt down to my level. "I want to believe that Cleo, really I do, but all evidence points towards him being guilty. And no, they didn't give him a trial."

A plump, somber-looking woman with bright red hair came over to us, and I slunk behind Remus. "Oh, Remus, I am so sorry! How are you holding up, dear?"

He sighed. "Just fine, considering the circumstances. Oh, Cleo, there's no need to be afraid, Molly won't hurt you. She's perfectly nice."

I shied out from Remus and looked at the woman. She smiled at me, knelt down and extended her arms to hug me. I looked at her nervously, and Remus gave me a gentle prod in the back. I lunged forward into the arms of this strange woman and began to sob uncontrollably. She held me close and I clung to her.

Remus sighed as Aunt Clara managed to get me off. "I'm sorry about how she acted at first, Molly. Her mother abused her and she's just now been pulled out. She's only been living with Clara and Mike for about a month."

Molly gasped. "She's afraid of human contact, isn't she?"

Remus nodded. "Lily was so shocked when they first met. Cleo wouldn't come out from behind me or Kingsley until Lily managed to win her trust. I hate that I can't help her more, Molly. She's my goddaughter, I'm supposed to help her. I can't, though, Molly."

"But you can, dear. Watch this. Clara, come here!" she called to the woman that had a grip on me. "Dear, I heard you say something about wanting Kingsley to get a job here. Why don't you let Remus move down to Cairo and look after Cleo, and you guys could come up here."

I nodded enthusiastically. "Yeah, I wanna live with Remus, he's cool."

Aunt Clara sighed. "I guess it's settled then, we'll move up here and Remus will move down to Cairo and raise Cleo."

We all walked down to the graveyard to view the funeral and made plans for the guardian switch.
