"Boys get the tables set up." Molly ordered. The men didn't even bother to argue.

'Carina when are you going to tell them?' Hermione asked in her head.

"When do you think?" Carina asked.

"Before everyone begins eating."

"Alright then I'll let them set up the tables."

"Don't worry they'll still love you."

"I sure hope so. I don't want to be the reason the family gets split."

"You won't be."

"Mum! We're done." Ron called.

"Alright dear!" Molly called back. "Would you ladies please help me get everything outside?"

"Of course." In minutes the tables were set. After everyone settled down, Carina stood up.

"Excuse me! I need your attention." No one seemed to listen so Hermione and Ginny whistled to get everyone's attention. Everyone turned and faced them. "So I have something very important to tell you." Alice put her hand on top of Carina's and squeezed it reassuringly. "My name isn't Anna. I only met Hermione a few years ago. My name is Carina. I am Harry's godmother." Everyone gasped.

"How can that even be you're around two years younger?" Percy asked.

"Because I'm actually ninety one years old. I'm a vampire."

"You're a what?" Fred and George exclaimed.

"Hermione." Carina said. Hermione undid the spell. "I'm a vampire." She repeated.

"So am I." Alice said getting up.

"But vampires are supposed to have red eyes." Bill said.

"Yes vampires do have red eyes if they," Carina looked at Teddy and cleared her throat, "you know survive on humans. As you can see, we have yellow eyes because we survive on animals."

"Is that even possible?" Arthur asked.

"Yes I've been doing it for about eighteen years."

"But you said you were ninety one."

"I wasn't always on this particular diet." They went silent. Carina could feel the worry and confusion everyone was feeling. Everyone had a million questions buzzing around in their heads. "I need everyone to relax." Carina said in a strained voice. Instantly they did. Alice gave her a look. "Sorry there was too much emotion." Carina said quickly.

"Wait are you the Carina from the Order a few years back?" Arthur asked.

"Yes."

"Wait the one that stayed with McGonagall?" Bill asked.

"Ew you stayed with McGonagall." Fred said, George shivered in response. Everyone laughed.

"Why the disguise?" Fleur asked.

"Harry didn't know he had a godmother. I knew he would go back home soon and there are a lot of pictures of me. Even though the name on them was Leticia."

"Wait I'm still confused." Angelina said.

"When I became Harry's godmother I was Leticia. Changed diets changed names. I met Hermione after Albus's funeral. By the time she asked me to become her maid of honor, she had figured out that I was Harry's godmother. Anna was a cover story."

"That was confusing." Fred began.

"But it made a lot of sense." George finished.

"Alice how do you fit into this?" Bill asked.

"That Bill is a simple. I came for the curiosity's sake. You know never seeing wizards before."

"I like Alice's story better." George said.

"I agree with George." Fred said.

"A- Carina." George said with some difficulty.

"How about you call me Cary it's easier."

"Now you're speaking our language." Fred said.

"So Cary do you go to school?" Bill asked.

"Yes me and Alice are currently juniors in high school in Canada."

"Why Canada?" Alicia asked curiously.

"Well you can't see it now but in the sun we sort of sparkle."

"Sparkle." Fred snorted.

"Yes Freddy-o sparkle. When it's cloudy we look normal."

"How come we don't learn of vampires with different diets?" Percy asked.

"Not many of us exist. As far as we know there is only one other family like our own. That's thirteen versus the hundreds of vampires in the world."

"That explains it."

"Can we eat now? Hello eating for two." Angelina said pointing at her stomach.

"Everyone dig in." Molly said.

"Aunty Alice can I sit on your lap?" Teddy asked.

"Teddy don't be rude." Andy said.

"No it's fine Andy. Sure come on Teddy." Alice lifted him onto her lap.

"Hello Teddy I'm Cary." Carina said.

"Hi you're pretty like Aunty Alice." Teddy said.

"Thank you. You're pretty too." Carina said. Alice laughed. Teddy closed his eyes when he opened it his hair was like Carina's but way shorter.

"Now I am."

"Aren't you cute?"

"Thank you Aunty Cary."

"You're welcome."

"Aunty Cary?"

"Yes?"

"Do you think that I'm special?"

"Actually I think that you are super special." Carina said touching his nose.

"Grandma hear that Aunty Cary thinks that I'm super special." Teddy said excitedly.

"Teddy play hide and seek." Victoire said.

"Okay." Teddy said jumping off of Alice's lap.

"Come and find me." Victoire said running inside. Teddy ran after her.

"Cary are vampires as fast and as strong as they say?" Bill asked.

"I can circle the house and make a sandwich and be back before you can said quidditch." Carina said.

"Really? Show us." Fred said.

"Alright." Carina walked to the house.

"Go!" George said. They were in the middle of the word when Carina stopped in front of them with a sandwich.

"That was bloody fantastic." The twins exclaimed. Fred took the sandwich and ate it.

"And this sandwich is amazing." Fred said with his mouth full.

"Thank you." Carina bowed.

"What about the strength?" Bill asked.

"I'll do this one." Alice said. She walked over to Fred and George. She lifted one in each hand.

"Please put us down." Fred said. Alice put them down slowly.

"Don't tell me that the big bad quidditch player is afraid of heights." Alicia said in a mocking tone.

"When I'm on a broom I can control it but when someone is picking me up I can't."

"Sorry didn't mean to make you uncomfortable Fred." Alice apologized.

"It's alright." Then James started crying. Ginny tried to calm him down but he continued to cry.

"Carina do you mind?"

"Not at all." Carina grabbed the baby and he immediately stopped crying. "Like father like son."

"I'm still trying to picture you knowing Harry twenty years ago." Fred said scratching his head.

"Yeah with you looking seventeen and you saying you're Harry's godmother it's just weird." George said

"It would be weirder if I said that I was created in 1910."

"That actually sounds older that ninety-one."

"Is that how old you are counting you're human years?" Bill asked.

"Counting my human years I am one hundred and eight."

"Wow you're old." Fred and George said earning them a smack in the back of their heads by their wives. Out of nowhere a piece of bread hit Fred and another hit George. Carina stared off and pretended to be innocent. The twins shared a look and both threw a piece of bread at her. To their surprise it came back at them with enough strength to knock them out of their seats.

"Bloody hell!" Fred said getting up.

"Who cast a shield?" George asked looking at Harry.

"Don't look at me mate." Harry said putting his hands up in surrender.

"No one cast a shield." Carina said.

"You couldn't have you're a vampire." Fred said.

"Thanks Captain Obvious." Carina said rolling her eyes.

"Then how did you do it?" George asked.

"Some vampires have extra powers and mine include mind reading and creating shields." Carina said shrugging.

"Alice do you do anything special?" Fred asked.

"Yes, I can see the future. Don't ask me to because I apparently can't see wizards." Alice said sourly.

"Ignore her tone. She's just mad that she can't see you all." Carina explained.

"Whoa wait you can basically create a shield." Fred said.

"Yup anything can run at me and it will go flying back."

"You're just perfect aren't you?"

"I'm as perfect as you're record with Filch."

"So we set off a few dungbombs."

"Yeah and a swap and I heard dragon fireworks that are nearly impossible to extinguish."

"McGonagall." Fred and George said.

"You two are almost as bad as James and Sirius."

"Almost." Fred scoffed.

"Yeah almost. You never sent three flying pigs into the Great Hall or a brontosaurus."

"My dad did that?" Harry asked.

"Yep he was very good at Transfiguration. The flying pigs were for Lily. Being Muggle-born she used the phrase 'When pigs fly'. She forgot how good he was. Tada the next morning in the Great Hall. Did you know that your parent were Heads?"

"Both of them?"

"Yes they became friends, then James asked her out joking and she answered jokingly and paid."

"That must've been one hell of a breakfast." George said.

"Wait you said brontosaurus as in the dinosaur?" Fred asked.

"Yes the genius of it was that only the teachers could see it. The teachers thought that they were crazy for 24 hours."

"They were horrible weren't they?" Hermione asked.

"Yes although Hagrid said that if Fred and George had stayed they would have beat James and Sirius's record for getting into the Forbidden Forest. I think that they were only five off."

"No way we and… Fred this close." George motioned with his fingers.

"Oh well we'll leave it to the next generation." Fred said looking at James.

"Fred if you try to corrupt these children I'll keep you in a bubble for three months." Carina warned. "I don't have to be here to do that. That goes for you too George."

'Thought that you did have to be there.' Alice thought.

"They don't know that." Carina said so only Alice heard.

"So Cary how long have you known Alice?" Fleur asked.

"Since last August. We had the same biology class." Carina said and Alice smiled.

"Do you think there are wizards in Canada?" Alice asked.

"Of course there are."

"Really?" Alice asked.

"Yes I saw them. Minerva and Albus cast a spell on me that allows me to find whoever I want. Since only Minerva's alive the spell isn't as strong as it was. I asked for the spell it was the day after I became Harry's godmother."

"Aunty Alice, Aunty Cary I can't find Vicky."

"Okay let's go see." Carina closed her eyes and focused on Victoire. She opened her eyes. "Come on I'll help you." Carina got up and Teddy took her hand oblivious to the temperature.

"But Aunty, I already looked in the rooms." Teddy said as they climbed the stairs.

"Just follow me." Carina said smiling. They headed for the bathroom. "Check in the tub." Carina whispered in his ear. He nodded and tip-toed to the tub. He ripped the curtain open and Victoire looked up smiling at him.

"Teddy you found me!" Victoire jumped up and hugged him.

"Aunty helped." Teddy said proud of his aunt.

"Cheater." Victoire said.

"Am not." Teddy said

"Am too."

"Am not."

"Am too."

"Am not!" Teddy shouted

"Am too!" Victoire shouted back.

"I have an idea." Carina said. Both kids stopped arguing and looked at her. "You two hide and I'll seek."

"Okay." They said happily.

"Count to ten." Teddy said.

"No peeking." Victoire said.

"I know, ready, set, go." Carina covered her eyes and started counting as soon as they ran out. "1...2...3...4...5...6...7...8...9...10!" Carina yelled. "Ready or not here I come."

"Cary what are you doing?" Fred asked when he saw Carina under the kitchen table.

"Well I'm trying to find the kids, we're playing hide-and-go-seek."

"Are you joking? You'll never get any sleep."

"Good thing I don't need sleep then Freddy-o." Carina said getting off the floor.

"Then have fun." Fred said, he shrugged and left. Carina went to the living room next. When she reached the stairs she heard giggling. She smiled and said,

"Hello Victoire."

"Aunty you found me." Victoire said pouting.

"Sorry, help me find Teddy."

"Okay." She jumped up from her hiding spot and followed Carina up stairs. They check all the rooms until only the attic was left.

"Do you see him?" Carina whispered.

"Yes." Victoire put her index finger in front of her mouth and crept silently across the room. "BOO!" She shouted from behind Teddy. Teddy jumped into the air.

"Hi Teddy." Carina said.

"That was not funny Vicky." Teddy said looking at Victoire.

"Sorry Teddy." Victoire hugged him.

"Come on before Grandma gets worried." Carina held out her hands. Each one too a hand. Before they left Carina saw something gold catch her attention. "Teddy can you get me that book?" Teddy nodded, grabbed the book and gave it to Carina. "Thanks Teddy-bear."

All three of them walled hand in hand until they reached the garden.

"Hey Cary you're alive." Fred said.

"Yea for the most part. Who's room was in the attic?"

"That was my old room." Ron said.

"It this book yours?" Carina handed him the book labeled Twelve Fail-Safe Ways To Charm Witches.

"Harry look you forgot you're present." Ron said tossing the book to Harry.

"I wondered where this went. I haven't seen it since my seventeenth birthday." Harry said laughing.

"Damn Harry I have a birthday present four years overdue."

"What do you mean?"

"I meant to give you this on your seventeenth but you were nowhere to be found and at the wedding you didn't know who I was and I didn't even have the suitcase with me."

"Carina you got to learn to take breaths during your rants." Alice said.

"What is it?" Harry asked.

"It's a snitch that shows up when you need to calm down and it showed your true emotions when you were alone. As soon as you get married it turns itself into two rings. The wearer of one ring is able to sense the emotions of the wearer of the other rings. The rings can also tell you if you are pushing your partner too far."

"I've never heard of anything like that." Hermione said.

"Of course you haven't it is one of a kind. The makers were Lily, James, Remus, and Sirius. It was in the house that night. Sirius sent it in the letter he sent me that day."

"Do you reckon it still works?" Ron asked.

"It should, it won't be as powerful as it was but it should work." Arthur said.

"It works, I asked them about it, Lily said that they put a preserving spell on it so on the event that none of them are alive it would still work."

"Do you have it with you?" Harry asked.

"Yes it zoomed out of the suite case when you opened it. I think it sensed you."

"You can give it to me when we get home." CRACK!

"Oh sorry to interrupt the party." Neville said when he looked around.

"Hello Harry." Luna said standing next to Neville.

"Hello Luna." Harry said.

"Hello Anna." Luna said turning to Carina. Harry rolled his eyes. He could never figure out how she always knew these things.

"Hey Luna so to fill you two in my real name is Carina but just call me Cary." Carina said.

"People don't see your kind of vampire very often." Luna said casually.

"My kind?"

"Yes the ones that drink animal blood instead of human blood."

"Hello I'm Alice."

"Hi." Luna shook her hand.

"Hello I'm Neville." Neville shook Alice's hand.

"So Neville how's Augusta doing?" Carina asked.

"How do you know my Gran?" Neville asked.

"Crap." Carina said.

"You really got to work on that. Come on Neville, Carina has got some explaining to do." Harry said. He led them to the living room.

"How do you know my Gran?" Neville asked again.

"I'm ninety one years old. I met your grandma and parents through Lily and James. You two were around one."

"So you knew us both?"

"Yes when you two were babies, you were like brothers."

"No way, really?"

"Yes both of you were together practically since the day each of you were born."
"How come Gran never told me?"

"She is pretty old and after what happened to you're parents it could have slipped her mind."

"You know?"

"Yeah."

"I'm actually a healer in training."

"They would be proud of you."

"Would you like to see them?"

"Some other time this week sure. Look I have to ask, are you and Luna involved?" Carina asked, she could see the blush creek its way into Neville's cheeks.

"Uh yes, since the wedding."

"She's a very interesting young lady."

"Interesting is a good word for her." Harry said.

"You know, when Albus told me that you two were roommates I was so happy. I was hoping that you two would become friends. I told him years before to make that arrangement."

"You asked for us to be roommates?"

"It was a special request from an old friend."

"How did you know we'd end up in Gryffindor?" Neville asked.

"Are you kidding there is no way that the son of Alice and Frank Longbottom or the son of Lily and James Potter could go anywhere else."

"But I didn't even know about the houses." Harry said.

"But I knew that Hagrid was getting you and he hates Slytherin considering it was Tom's fault he was expelled."

"You called Voldemort Tom, I'm impressed." Neville said. "I don't think anyone other than Dumbledore and Harry have called him that since he became Voldemort."

"In my opinion, Voldemort is way more stupid than Tom."

"Couldn't agree more." Neville said.

"We should go back." They stood. "Wouldn't want to keep your girlfriend waiting." Carina teased causing Neville to turn red. "This is what I like about being a vampire, that wouldn't have sounded right coming from an old woman."

"Technically you are an old lady." Harry said.

"Don't start with me Harry James Potter." Carina said with a subtle glared that made Harry let Neville go before him.

"How could you do that when the most feared wizard in the world couldn't make him blink?" Neville said laughing.

"Almost a century of practice my dear. I'm pretty sure if Molly or Ginny or Hermione stared at him like that he would react the same way."

"Hey I resent that." Harry said.

******** a few hours later ******

"Molly you know dinner is only a few hours away, so if it's okay with you we can start on it right now."

"Anyone object?" Molly asked.

"We have a dinner already planned." Fred said.

"So do we." George said.

"Anyone else?" Molly asked, no one else objected.

"Cary you have got to visit our flat." Angelina said hugging Carina. "You could visit Fred and Alicia too, they live across the road . Alice you would be welcome too."

"Will do." Carina said.

"We would love to." Alice said.

"Alice you have to hug us too." Alicia said holding out her arms.

"The Weasleys are a hugging clan." Angelina said.

"Bye everyone." CRACK! They were gone.

"Molly let us help you." Carina said as she and Alice followed Molly into the kitchen.

"Yeah, that's a lot of food to make in two hours." Alice said.

They finished with time to spare (mostly because of the help of magic). Carina and Alice zoomed from the kitchen to the table, quickly setting the table.

"Food's ready." Alice said. Again Teddy sat on Alice's lap.

**** Three days later ****

"So Cary are you ready?" Neville asked for the umpteenth time.

"Yes Neville don't worry about me."

"They won't be the same people you knew." Neville warned.

"I know." They stopped at a door. Neville opened the door.

"Is that Gilroy Lockhart?"

"Yeah he's going to be released in a month. His memory spell backfired. He has been here since '92." Neville explained. Carina and Neville walked to the end of the room. Carina stopped at the sight of her friend, Alice Longbottom, walking slowly towards them in a white gown. Alice went to Neville and handed him something and returned to her bed. Frank stood up but didn't go anywhere. "Mum, Dad this is your old friend Carina."

"Neville they know me as Leti." Carina whispered in his ear. "I'll explain later."

"You remember Leti right?" Neville asked his parents.

"Hey Ali, hey Frankie." Carina said acting like it was nothing out of the usual. "Long time no see. I've missed you two. Neville has been such a good boy."

Then something happened to Alice. When Carina walked in Alice's eye's seem like there was a cloud in her vision, but now there seemed to be some more focus. It was nothing significantly noticeable but Carina knew.

"So I have some news for you Frankie. The Chuddley Cannons suck now, well in my opinion they were never good, I still agree that the Tornadoes are the best." Carina saw an even smaller change in Frank. "Neville, they remember. I can't rush it I know that you won't be happy but I have to stop while I'm ahead."

"But if they remember when you talk to them then continue."

"Baby listen." Carina turned his face to her. "I can't I promise that by the time I leave they will be back to normal but I have to take it slowly."

"But they remember."

"Neville I'll come back every other day. If they are not cured by the time I have to go home I will stay until they are."

"Okay."

"Ali, Frankie I will be back soon with your son." Carina and Neville stood up and left. Once Carina closed the door behind her Neville hugged her.

"Thank you so much Cary." Neville said after he finished hugging her.

"For what sweetie?"

"I've had to look into their clueless eyes for my entire memory to even see a little of it go is a miracle for me. I owe you."

"Not until they are truly healed."

"Where do you want me to take you?"

"Andy's house please."

"Going to visit Teddy?"

"Yeah." Carina took hold of his hand. CRACK! They were in front of a cottage-shaped house.

"Cary is that you?" Andy asked as she heard the sound.

"Hey Andy." Carina said as she hugged her.

"Cary I'll leave you here and pick you up the day after tomorrow." Neville said.

"Neville I want you and Augusta to stay away from your parents if your grandma gives you any problems just come and get me."

"Alright I'll see you." CRACK!

"Aunty Cary." Teddy pounced on her as soon as she walked in.

"Hey there Teddy-bear. I like the hair." It was striped.

"Thank you." Teddy said bowing. It reminded her a lot of Remus.

After a few hours Carina started to baby-sit Teddy. First she had to convince Andy to go out with some friends.

"Aunty Cary are you Unca Harry's momma?" Teddy asked out of the blue.

"What makes you say that sweetie?" Carina asked.

"Unca Harry said you're his godmama."

"No baby I'm like Unca Harry's Aunty Cary."

"So you my and Unca Harry's Aunty Cary?" Teddy asked.

"Exactly."

"Are you going to be here forever?"

"Teddy baby I have another family and I have to go back to them."

"But why can't you stay here?"

"I'll come back as soon as I can."

"Okay, Aunty Cary do you love me?"

"Of course I do."

"Good because I love you too." He hugged her tightly. Carina hugged him carefully. CRACK! Carina immediately got defensive, she had her shield up and put Teddy on her back.

"Who's there?" Carina asked trying not to growl.
