A/N: I hate to say it, but I'm…well, I'm abandoning my story. Why? Well, there's a couple of reasons. Mostly because I'm not really feeling the story anymore. My feelings about characters have changed now that I'm a little older, and I just couldn't write it. I'd look back on the few chapters posted and go "What the fuck was I smoking when I wrote this?" Plus, no one ever freaking reviews. To me, that's a sign that not many people even like my story. You know, whenever I got an alert that said someone favorited my story, I saved it in a folder on my yahoo. It might seem creepy, but it was what kept me going as far as I actually got.
So it's totally up for adoption. Where I was trying to go with this is that Keira is the daughter of Sirius Black and Remus Lupin. So Keira is Harry's godsister, and on the night that Voldy attacked the potters, she was there being babysat, and, well, here's that scene.
"Hey guys, thanks a lot for watching Keira for me," smiled Sirius. He had just dropped off his only daughter at his best friends' house, and was getting ready to go off for his date tonight.
"No problem, man," said James. "She always behaves when she's with her brother."
"God brother," corrected Lily, holding the young girl against her side. Keira seemed very interested in pulling the red head's hair. James shrugged.
"Close enough," he said. "They're twins at least."
"Yes," agreed Lily. "A true miracle. Now," she turned to Sirius. "You're telling him about her tonight, right?"
"Of course, Lils," said Sirius, flustered. "But I have to take it slow. He just got back from the werewolf colonies, and I don't want to shock him too badly."
"Sirius," the red head said sternly, adjusting the girl on her hip, "He's been gone for a little over a year, and now he's going to find out he has a daughter. I think that would shock just about anyone. And I still can't believe you used glamours during most of your pregnancy to keep it from him." Sirius fidgeted.
"Lil, he's nervous already," James grinned. "Now let's let him go before he changes his mind." He clapped a hand on his friend's shoulder. "Good luck Siri. I know Remus will love you no matter what." Sirius nodded.
"Thanks," he said. "I'll see you later, baby girl. I'm gonna go see your daddy." He kissed the little girl on the cheek, making her squeal happily and grab for him.
"Mama" she said. Sirius swallowed the lump in his throat. She had only been speaking for a few days now, and mama was the only thing that came out clearly. He thought about how much he loved his little girl and knew he had to do this for her happiness, as well as his. Backing up, he waved to his friends and his family. James waved back, and Lily waved Keira's little hand and cooed at her. Keira's silly smile was the last thing he saw before he apparated to the restaurant where he would meet Remus.
Lily carried her small burden to the living room, where her own son, Harry, was playing on the floor. The girl wiggled and reached for her twin god sibling, and it seemed like Lily couldn't put her down fast enough. Harry picked up a block and gave it to Keira as soon as she was set down, and Lily smiled.
"They get along really well," said James, opening a copy of the Prophet.
"Yeah," agreed Lily, "They're like real siblings, before all the rivalry." She stood up straight and walked over to stand behind her husband and read over his shoulder. "Anything good today?"
"Mmm," hummed James, "Not really. Not good, anyway. Voldemort went on another raid. A few kids are missing from the Muggle world. Same stuff." Lily huffed.
"We need to be doing something about that evil man," she said. "Harry, Keira, and every other child their age won't be safe until we do." She looked over to the two playing on the floor. Harry had managed to float his teddy bear in front of his god sister, who was laughing and trying to get at it without falling on her back or standing up. "They are so cute. Why would someone want to hurt someone so innocent?"
"Mm," hummed James, absorbed in an article about the Ministry. "There are some real weirdos out there." A chime sounded to alert the couple to the fact that the wards had been breached, and someone was outside. A second later, there was a knock on the door. James sighed and stood, walking towards the door. "Coming," he said.
James opened the door to find his old buddy, Peter Pettigrew. The short fat man looked nervous, and was wringing his hands, looking at the ground.
"Good evening, James," the rat like man said.
"Peter," greeted James, "What are you doing here? I haven't seen you in a while."
"…I," started Peter, "I came to apologize." James was confused.
"Apologize for what, Pete?" he asked.
"For this," answered Peter, and he rolled up his sleeve to show the dark mark, to which he quickly pressed his wand to and muttered something. Many cracks sounded and death eaters flooded the lawn of Godric Hollow.
"Lily!" shouted James, pulling out his wand, "Death eaters! Get Harry and Keira out of here!" He shot various curses out at his enemies, and many fell within the first few seconds. Sadly, more showed up, along with the Dark Lord, and James was overpowered quickly.
Lily started at James' shout, and ran to the children. The two had begun to cry from the loud noises coming from the front of the house, the red head could hear her husband shouting curses. She picked up the twins, one in each arm, and started toward the stairs. By this time, however, some of the Death Eaters had gotten into the house, and were blocking the stairs. They spotted her and the bawling children and started towards her. Lily backed up, holding the children tightly, and apparated upstairs, into the nursery. Once in the nursery, Lily put the children into the crib and closed the door, locking and warding it with shields. She knew they wouldn't hold forever, but they would at least hold for a few minutes. Enough to get the children out. Picking up a mirror, she quickly called the Order and told them to get to Godric Hollow quickly. She heard Death Eaters at the door already, and she checked the shields again before looking at the children. They had stopped crying, and were looking at her with curious looks, standing at the side of the crib, holding onto the edge to keep from falling.
"Ok, guys, you're going to go on a trip," she said to the two young ones. She lifted the necklace off of herself, and put it around the twin's heads. "You'll be ok, and someone will come pick you up. I love you guys." She kissed their foreheads. "Bye, babies. 'Sanc-'"
The door cracked and splintered in a few places. Lily panicked and ran over to try holding the door closed with a few more spells. They held for a few seconds before chips started falling from the door onto the carpet. During this time, Harry sat down and the shiny cord slipped off of his head. He chewed on his thumb and looked up at his god sister. Keira sat down and touched Harry's face.
"Shit,"cursed Lily. She knew the door couldn't last much longer. She glanced one last time at the children, and then said the word to activate the time-turner. "Sanctuary!"
The room glowed gold for a second and Lily sighed, relieved. Her baby and god baby were safe now. Sirius would surely go pick them up. She looked at the crib and froze. Harry was still there, sitting and looking up at her. Only Keira was gone.
Keira Marie Black landed on her diaper cushioned butt and looked around. It was a long hall, and brightly lit from the sun outside. Keira was all alone.
"Ma Ma," she said. No one answered. She didn't like that. She whimpered, and the whimper quickly turned into a wail. She cried loudly for her mother, and for her god brother. She wanted someone to come out now and tell her that they loved her and everything would be ok.
The marauders found her shortly after.
A/N: Ok, so after that some Death Eater found out about it and kidnapped her from the past, raising her to be The dark lord's concubine or whatever, thinking that she was Harry's biological sister. Sirius thinks she's dead and doesn't tell Remus about her, Harry gets preggo with Sev's kid, Keira eventually likes Harry as the godsister she is, Sirius gets reunited with his daughter after he and Remus idiotically jump into the past to go save Harry, and they all live happily ever after, the end. Yeah….
I am writing another story. I recently got into those "read the books" stories, and so now I'm writing one. It's long going, and I may post the first chapter soon, but seriously, if no one reviews, how am I supposed to learn? How am I supposed to find out if I'm actually doing a good job or not?
Oh well. Have at it. See y'all next time.
