A/N: Hello! I forgot to do a few things in here and that is say, I do not own HP only the OCs are mine. Sorry this took so long to update I just am not a fan of CoS so the next few chapters might be bad. Don't worry it will get better at PoA.
"Lasanderia Koreen Lupin-Black get down here." Remus yelled jokingly up the stairs. "Yeees, dad?" Lydia said in the same joking manor. It was summer and Lydia was having so much fun. She had been playing quidditch a lot, she had been swimming laps, she had been keeping in contact with friends using their family owl, Melvin. She felt bad though, she got letters from Fred, George, Cedric, Blaise, Hannah, Neville, Dean, Seamus, Hermione, Hagrid, even Percy, but Harry hadn't received a single letter. She was wondering what was up. Harry had said something about a house-elf warning him. Lydia was pretty sure he was on something.
She decided to just focus on having fun with Harry, Kai, and Dylan. The three boys were a bit distant but still got on okay. Well Kai and Dylan were best friends but Harry and the formers were a bit tip-toey around each other. Kai, being 13, worked at Wolfstar Books after Remus offered him a job. Lydia would love to work at her dad's shop but she had to wait until she was 13, sadly. After Kai's shift everyday Dylan, Lydia, and Harry went to this little diner across the street called, Lucy's Diner. Lucy, the owner, loved the four kids and had conversations with them a lot of the time.
"Breakfast," Remus answered Lydia as she peered into the kitchen. "About time," Lydia sassily remarked. She sat down at the wooden round table across from Sirius who was reading The Daily Prophet, "père, can I see the politics section after you're done?" Lydia asked politely. "Yeah," Sirius handed her the political section. This was their normal routine, Lydia wakes up before her fathers puts on coffee and tea then reads for an hour, Sirius comes down gets said coffee and tea into cups, Remus cooks some sort of breakfast, they call Lydia down for breakfast, she asks to read the paper, then studies mathematics or a different language, right now she is learning swedish since she already mastered french and latin, the Potters come over James and Sirius head off to work as aurors, Harry and Lydia normally play exploding snap. That is their routine everyday. Lydia felt trapped, she felt stuck, in the same day to day routine.
"Well, Prongs, we should head out." Sirius said, he gave Remus a kiss on the lips and Lydia one on the cheek, said their 'love you's and then Sirius and James started singing, "we're off to work for the wizard the terrible minister Fudge." They finished their song and flooed away.
"So, any plans for today?" Lily asked as she laid upside down on the couch, bored. Lily was offered the Muggles Studies position at Hogwarts and she agreed, so now she was also on summer break. "Well, I need to go to work down at the shop, you can bring the vermin if you want." Remus chuckled. "Hey! I'm not vermin, I'm a beast there's a difference." Lydia pretended to pout. "Oh I'm so sorry." Remus said sarcastically grabbing his keys and heading down stairs.
Their Hogwarts letters came in the mail so they looked over the list. "Yeah this isn't going to happen." Lydia put down the list. "What?" Sirius asked as he looked at the list. "Look what we have for DADA I refuse to buy anything Gilderoy Lockhart wrote." Lydia rolled her eyes. "Ha, Lockhart he had a major crush on James back in school." Sirius laughed. "Shut up Pads." James rolled his eyes. "Anyways, why do you refuse to buy anything Lockhart sells?" Remus asked. "One of his books is called 'Wanderings with Werewolves' he talks about how he 'saved' a village from werewolves. Yeah, right, sure. I refuse to get these books." Lydia pushed the list away. "Don't girls swoon at his feet?" Harry asked laughing. "That is a stereotype, Harry." Lydia rolled her eyes. She was pissed.
"Just saying, mrs. Weasley thinks he is the best writer ever." Harry put more food in his mouth. "Well she's wrong! I'm so sick and tired of shit like this! I refuse to get these books!" Lydia was so angry that her hair had caught on fire. "Lyd calm down your hair's on fire again." Sirius said as though this was an everyday occurrence.
"Beast, read the list," Remus said sipping his tea. Lydia began to read, "Second year students will require: The Standard Book of Spells, Grade 2 by Miranda Goshawk, Break with a Banshee by Gilderoy Lockhart, Gadding with Ghouls by Gilderoy Lockhart, Holidays with Hags by Gilderoy Lockhart, Travels with Trolls by Gilderoy Lockhart, Voyages with Vampires by Gilderoy Lockhart, Wanderings with Werewolves by Gilderoy Lockhart, Year with the Yeti by Gilderoy Lockhart." Lydia rolled her eyes, "I don't care if I get in trouble I'm not going to get any of Lockhart's books end of discussion."
The Potters and Lupin-Blacks went to Diagon Alley to meet up with the Weasleys and Hermione. Remus had to stay at the shop today so it was just James, Lily, Harry, Sirius, and Lydia.
"Harry, Lydia!" Harry and Lydia saw Hermione run up to the pair that was holding hands. "Awe you guys are adorable together! How was your summer? Mine was great, oh Harry your glasses are broken here let me fix that." With a swish of Hermione's wand she fixed Harry's glasses. "Thanks, need to remember that one, our summer was good Lydia learned five new languages." Harry chuckled. "I did not." Lydia scoffed.
"It's great to see you guys!" Hermione gave Harry a hug then she gave Lydia one, Lydia visibly stiffened. "Oh I'm sorry did I hurt you?" Hermione asked concerned, Lydia was very tiny. "N-no I just don't like to be hugged all that much." Lydia tried to change the subject. "Hermione this is my dad, Sirius Lupin-Black and those are Harry's parents, James and Lily Potter." Lydia said moving more towards Sirius for a sense of protection. "Oh hello! I'm Hermione Granger, nice to meet you and you too, Mr. and Mrs. Potter." Hermione beamed. "Please call me Sirius, it makes me sound less old." Sirius laughed. "And call us Lily and James." Lily explained. "Lydia where is your mother?" Hermione asked.
Lydia doesn't go on about her parentage much, it's not that she's ashamed of them, she's actually quite proud, she just thinks it's like having a mum and a dad. "Oh, I don't have a mum." Lydia said casually. "Oh I'm so sorry I didn't realize, do mind if I ask how you lost her?" Hermione had sad eyes. "No, I have two dads, I was adopted when I was three, my other dad is at work, he owns a bookshop." Lydia said shrugging. "Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't, oh now I feel like a fool." Hermione facepalmed. "It's okay." Lydia was confused as to why she felt like a fool. Everyone makes that mistake, it's not exactly common and it's not like Sirius and Remus broadcast it, in both of the worlds they would get killed if they showed that they weren't straight.
It was time to get aboard the Hogwarts express, Lily was already at Hogwarts because of some teacher thing. To give Harry less "embarrassment" she'll be going by "professor Evans".
"Alright, Lyd, you got everything?" Remus asked with a smile on his face. "Yes, papa." Lydia beamed up at him. "Good. I'll miss you, beast." He gave her a gigantic bear hug. "I'll miss you too, papa." She hugged him back. "Bye, pere, don't piss dad off too much while I'm gone." She smiled and gave him a big hug." "I won't pumpkin fluff." "Bye James." Lydia gave James a hug and a kiss on the cheek. He did them same action. "Wait where's Harry?" He looked around and couldn't find him. "Maybe he's already on the train?" Sirius suggested. "Without saying goodbye?" James asked. "I don't know, Lyd do you know anything?" Remus asked. "Food maybe?" All three of the men laughed. "Probably, bye Lyd love you, be safe." Lydia smiled at her fathers and godfather then went on the train.
On the train she met a very energetic boy by the name of Colin Creevey. They connected and she basically adopted him as her child.
"If it were up to me you two would be expelled." Snape snarled at Harry and Ron. Lucky McGonagall came in.
The next day at breakfast Lydia had told Harry about her new "child" but he was obsessed with Harry, whoops. At breakfast two howlers arrived. "You should open that," Lydia said as she stuffed her face.
Lydia looked very malnutrition she was very pale and only weighed 80 pounds because she was starved as a child, you can see her bones and her ribs, it's really saddening, she gets made fun of a lot for it but she has grown use to it.
Harry opened the howler, "HARRY JAMES POTTER, YOU ARE MY HERO! FLYING A CAR TO SCHOOL, EVEN I HAVEN'T DONE THAT." It was james' voice booming through the hall. "NICE GOING HARRY! BET LILY ISN'T TOO HAPPY BUT, HELL, WE'RE PROUD!" Now it was Sirius but luckily there came a voice of reason, "HARRY DON'T LISTEN TO THEM, WHAT YOU DID WAS VERY DANGEROUS AND YOU AND RON COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED!" Remus tried to remain calm. "LAY OFF THE BOY MOONY!'' Sirius. "SIRIUS WHAT IF THAT WAS LYDIA IN THE CAR WOULD YOU STILL BE THIS CALM?!" Remus. "LYDIA IF YOU'RE LISTENING TO THIS, WHICH I KNOW YOU ARE, BE MORE LIKE HARRY SO MOONY CAN WORK ON HIS PUNISHMENT SKILLS, OH DON'T YOU DARE FLIP ME OFF!" Lydia was indeed flipping the card off. "I'VE NEVER BEEN PROUDER TO CALL YOU MY SON!" Sirius. "YOU WANK HE'S MY SON!" James. "WE ALL KNOW HE WILL PROBABLY END UP BEING MY SON-IN-LAW." Sirius. "LYDIA, HARRY I'M SORRY, YOU IDIOTS THE CARD IS STILL ON! HAVE A NICE TERM, DON'T GET INTO TOO MUCH TROUBLE!" Remus shut off the card. Lydia was glowing bright red and her hair was a very dark shade of pink.
Lily gave Harry a "stern talking to" in her office, Lydia was entertained when she heard the tale. The Potters were more than willing to pay for half, or all but the Weasleys would barely let them pay half, of what Arthur was being fined for since it was partly Harry's fault.
All in all this year was going to be interesting.
