WOW! Thanks for all the reviews guys... Especially liz and liam the luton lion. you guys rock!
Oliver and Katie woke the next morning to Molly's yelling. "Just because you can use magic outside of school now doesn't mean you have to do everything that way!" Katie smiled and remembered the summer before her last year. She got mad at Oliver and turned his hair neon pink. He returned the favor by turning hers neon blue.
After Molly's rant had ended, Oliver moaned and put his head on her chest. "Morning already?"
" 'Fraid so."
"Mmm," he groaned kissing her neck.
Katie kissed the top of his head and stretched her back out.They slowly made their way out of bed and down the stairs. Molly gave them a grin hello and saw that Katie was in a tank top and short shorts, while Oliver was only wearing boxers. "I would suggest revaluating your looks you two," Molly said. "members of the Order are coming for breakfast to get things in line." All Katie and Oliver had to do was hear the frontdoor crack before the pair shot up the stairs. Before shutting the door she heard Molly yell, "SEE! They don't use magic for everything!"
When the two came back down, Molly had set food on the table and was still able to yell at Fred and George. Katie and Oliver took their places at the table, along with the other wizards. Dumbledore gave a nod hello and a smile to the two as he sat down at the head of the table. Tonks sat by Katie giving her a hug and grinning madly at Oliver. Katie put here head on Oliver's shoulder and whispered, "she knows." Oliver mouthed, "oh."
Sirius sat across from Katie between Molly and Lupin. Fred and George kept complaining about not being allowed in but were eventually thrown out by Mrs. Weasley. As the room began to settle Dumbledore began to speak.
"As you have all heard, Voldemort has returned. He is getting stronger by the day and we must do everything in our power to stop this before it becomes another war. There is not much to say at this point other than the fact that this will be headquarters. Katie, Oliver and Sirius have been here these last few months preparing this place so it will be ready for operation. As you all can also see, it is far from done. Any help would be greatly appreciated, especially from the happy couple." Dumbledore said the last bit with a smile motioning at Katie and Oliver who were turning bright red and grinning behind the hair that fallen into their faces as they lowered their heads. Katie saw Lupin look at Sirius with curious eyes. Sirius smiled.
The meeting went on for another hour, discussing the comings and goings of the house and the portrait the hung in the hall. By eleven, all that remained at the house that was not already staying there was Lupin, Tonks, and Dumbledore. And by the way Lupin was looking at her, Katie had some major explaing to do.
Flashback 14 years
Katie sat at the Ministry headquarters staring off into space. She had no idea where her father was and no idea what they had done to Lupin after he had been yelling at the Ministry men on their front lawn when they took Sirius. She was scared and very confused. What had her father done? She reflected on two nights before.
Her father had been saying something about Lilly and James Potter, the ones that had the candy and the baby. Katie liked them they looked after Katie when her mother had left. They didn't tell Katie this off course, they meerly said that they were getting in practice for their little one on the way.
As Sirius got a bag full of Katie's things together, she sat and watched a ladybug crawl across the ground. As Katie reached to get it, Sirius picked her up and said, "how would you like to visit Uncle Remus?"
Katie grinned as wide as he could and put her arms around his neck burrying her face there. When she heard the loud crack she opened her eyes and found herself in Remus' small home.
He had fallen asleep on the couch, the full moon having only been two days ago. He looked beat and tired. Sirius shook him from his slumber and whispered to him quietly for several minutes. After what felt like forever, Sirius walked over to her, got to his knees and grabbed her wrists gently. "Katie," he whispered. "I want you to stay with Remus for a few days. Can you be a big girl and do that for me?" Katie nodded. "Good, I'll be back in a few days to take you home." He kissed Katie on the forehead and apparated out.
Later that night as Katie lay in bed, she heard her father's rushed voice coming from downstairs. She wanted to run to him, but decided against it after she heard the word 'Voldemort' and the phrase 'I didn't betray them.' She then heard the phrase, 'take care of my little girl' before she heard the loud crack. Little Katie began to cry.
After an hour had passed, Remus woke her from her troubled sleep. He smiled and said, "Let's go check on your Dad." Katie jumped into his arms, nearly knocking him over. She placed her head into his chest and found herself in her bedroom after the crack. Katie heard loud voices and her father yelling downstairs. "Stay here and don't move," Remus said before running down the stairs.
Katie looked out from behind the banister. Her father was yelling something that she could not make out. There were many witches and wizards in their living room. People Katie did not know.
When she saw her father being drug out by ministry agents, little Katie cried out and ran to her father.
"Where are you going?" she asked frightened at the sight of her father being led away.
Before he could answer, he was taken away. Katie yelled, "NO BRING HIM BACK! WHERE'S MY DADDY…"
One of the men picked Katie up and took her out the door. She saw Remus arguing saying how Katie's father could not have done the crime. Katie cried out for the him, but he could not hear her. The last she saw of her father was his eyes, Katie had never seen them like this, they weren't comforting and wise like what she was used to. They were wide and fearful.
CRACK
Katie was pulled from her thoughts by a man with half-moon glasses and a croocked nose. He smiled at her and said, "what's your name?"
"Katie Black, sir."
"Oh, so you're Sirius' daughter."
"Yes," Katie said her eyes getting wide as she hopped out of her chair. "have you seen him, I don't know what's going on and I'm scared."
The man placed her back into her chair and sat beside her. "Everything will be alright," he comforted.
Remus ran through the door and saw Katie. She ran up to him and threw her arms around his neck. He sat next to the man as Katie cuddled into his lap and fell asleep to Remus saying, "It's good to see you againg Proffesor Dumbledore..."
Katie was lightly shaken awake by Remus. A Ministry agent was sitting where the old man had been. There were two others standing in front of the chair Katie and Remus were in. The one in the chair said, "Hello Miss Katie, how are you?"
"Fine, where's my Daddy?"
"I'm afraid you may not be seeing him for a while Katie, he has to go somewhere for a little while."
"Where?"
"To a place far away that good little girls like you can't follow. This man here Katie is named Carl Bell. He is an Auror and will look after you along with his wife until your Dad comes back. Do you understand?"
"No, I want to stay with Remus," she said, looking at him. Remus had a white face and looked at her sadly.
"I'm afraid you can't Katie. With his condition and all, it would be too dangerous for a little girl. Remus may still visit you as often as he likes and you may see him whenever. The Bells will raise you as their own until you are older. The only catch is Katie, you will have to change your last name to Bell and keep your hair blonde for a little while. Are you alright with all of this?"
Katie nodded sadly as Remus handed her to Carl. She wrapped her arms around his neck the same way she did with her father and Remus. She waved goodbye and was carried out by Carl as she turned her hair blonde.
Over the years Katie would see Remus almost twice weekly. Katie grew up into a pretty thing with green eyes and a love for quidditch. Her neighbor Oliver was her age as well, and just as obsessed with the dangerous sport. They always seemed to bond Remus could even see them dating when they were older...
"HE DID WHAT?" Remus yelled.
They were sitting by the fire in the sitting room that evening. Sirius and Oliver were also their sitting quietly.
"He proposed Remus. Even Sirius is alright with it. With the growing threat of Voldemort we may not have a chance to be together. We want to take this step so we get that chance."
"Honestly Remus, you're over-reacting. I couldn't be more happy for them." Sirius said holding Katie's shoulders and giving them a tight squeeze.
"Well then you'll be more excited to her the next part of the news. We've picked a date. Next month. July 20th."
"YOU DID WHAT!" they roared together as Katie and Oliver nearly ran upstairs with their arses on fire.
It'll take a while to get the next part up. I don't know where to go next exactly and it looks like I have a wedding to plan for these two love birds. Hope you enjoyed the chapter!
luv,
Katie
