Severus had gone out the next morning to meet with the order to decide how they were going to rebuild the school and who was in charge of what part. Charlie had decided that he was going to go with Severus and be apart of the order. "Charlie do you really have to go?" Minnie looked at him.

"Yes I want to help rebuild the school. It is only for the day, Minnie I will not be long." He kissed Minnie and Remus, and left.

"Daddy what about Sirius?" She looked over at her father.

"Can you take him home to your mother? I would greatly appreciate it." Severus smiled at his daughter.

"Dad, are you for real?" Minnie rolled her eyes.

"Yes baby I am serious, please for me." He kissed her cheek and went over to Sirius. "Minnie is going to take you home to mommy today." He hugged his son and he left.

"Ok I love you daddy, I will see you soon." He smiled and continued talking to Remus. "You know what baby Remus I think that you will really enjoy being apart of this family. It may be crazy but they will always love each other. Minnie can we eat and then go home to mommy I really miss her.

"Yeah that is fine with me." Minnie had not seen her mother since the day of the Remus's birth. She really did not want to see her now either.

Minnie and Sirius had lunch together and they laughed at all the little things that Sirius had done at the table. He wanted to stay a little bit longer and he and Minnie played on the toy broom that was hers when she was a baby.

"Do you like this broom Sirius?" She smiled at her little bother.

"Yes Minnie I love can I take it home with me tonight?" Sirius asked.

"No you can not take it home, but when you come here you can play with it I promise." Minnie smiled.

"Ok that is fine I will have to get mommy to buy me one I am sure she will." Sirius got back on the broom.

"Hun we have to get ready and go you have to be home for supper that is what mom had told me." Minnie was lying, she was just tired and wanted some alone time with Remus.

"Fine then. I guess we do have to listen to our mother. Why do mommies have so many hard rules." Sirius rolled his eyes.

"Sirius you are a real clown. So go and get dressed and then we will leave and take you home to mom." Minnie smiled at him. "Oh do you need some help?" Minnie asked.

"If I do need help I will let you know but I think I can do just fine." Sirius smiled.

"I dread the day when you start talking and walking." Minnie smiled at Remus.

They arrived on Grimmauld place in the sitting room. Lily was in the kitchen and came in to see who was there. "Oh it is you guys. I thought that your father was going to bring him here." Lily was shocked to see Minnie.

"Well dad and Charlie had to go to that meeting for the order so that they can rebuild the school. So he asked me to bring him home, I did and here he is." Minnie smiled.

"So I was making dinner for your father tonight when he arrived, but since it is you would you like to stay for dinner? I would love to spend some time with my grandson." Lily smiled and took Remus.

"I don't know if we should. I mean I have no idea when Charlie will be home. If he is home before supper I am sure he will be hungry when he gets home." Minnie was trying to be nice.

"Well they will not be home until late tonight I was suppose to go but I did not want to leave Sirius on you with your father and I both there. So I think that it will be fine if you stayed for dinner tonight. It is already almost all made and all that." Lily really wanted to try and connect with her daughter again.

"Minnie you are staying with me and mommy for dinner. I would really like that." Sirius smiled.

"Fine I guess I will stay with you and mom for dinner." She could not turn down his smile.

After dinner Minnie was playing with Sirius and Lily was talking with Remus. "Well Sirius I think that it is time for you to go to bed." Lily smiled and handed the baby to Minnie.

"Minnie can you stay here for a bit. I would really like to talk to you." Lily picked up Sirius.

"Yeah sure, just not to long tho because I have to get Remus home." Minnie smiled at Sirius who waved as they went up the stairs. "I wonder what your crazy grandmother wants from me. I hope she does not try to reason with me again." Minnie looked at a sleeping Remus.

Lily came back down a few minutes later. "He is asleep and he was really tired what did you guys do with him last night?" Lily laughed.

"We talked about what we did in school and stuff like that, but he never listened he was asleep. We did not even realize that he was until we were all done talking." Minnie laughed.

"He is a lot like you when you were younger. I remember when you were two years old and James and I were watching you for an hour or two because your father had some Order work to do. Yeah anyway you were sitting there and James and I were telling you and Harry a story about the deathly hallows and you and Harry went to sleep on the middle of the floor and never did get to here the last of the story. We laughed when we noticed the two of you on the floor. James and I really loved watching you, because Harry adored you when you were little." Lily sat on the couch beside her Minnie.

"Yeah I really do not have many memories of James. I was too little when he died to really remember. The only thing I remember is that he really loved Harry and I. Lily really why do you do this to dad and I, it is just not fair. We want to love you but you won't seem to love us back the same way." Minnie seen the laughter in her mother's eyes fade.

"Minnie I do love you and your father a lot, but it is just really hard to let go of James and the life that I could have had with him. Minnie it would be like Charlie dying and you going with Draco, just to say. Would you be one hundred percent over Charlie when you married Draco and had his children." Lily replied.

"Lily that is not the same I would never cheat on Charlie and then give my child away to her father so he could raise her. I would never abandon my children. Lily it has been thirteen years since James has died and you have still not gotten over, then that means that you will never get over him. I am just glad that Daddy did finally open his eyes to what you were doing to him." Minnie was getting angry again.

"Minnie I have done nothing to you or your father, all I have done is loved you two one hundred percent." Lily was crying.

"Lily why do you think that crying makes everything go away it don't. You have never loved my father and I one hundred percent because you were to busy loving a man that is dead. You have to get over him before you lose everyone." Minnie stood up and took the baby home.

Lily sat there alone in the great big house and that is when it hit her. She thought to herself, 'this is all my doing I have pushed the only family I have in this whole world away for something that I can never get back. Lily Snape how could you be so selfish and so stupid. I never thought that I had it in me to do something like this, but I have and I hate it. I really have to change.'

Harry and Ginny walked into the house and broke her train of thought. "Oh you guys are home earlier then I thought that you would be." Lily jumped.

"Yeah more people then the order showed up, so it really took no time at all for us to rebuild the school." Harry smiled at his mother. "Mom what is wrong?" he asked.

"Oh there is really nothing wrong. I have just come to a realization that all my family is gone because I pushed them away." Lily answered.

"Mom how do you figure that?" Harry seen that she was upset.

"Well I have been loving your father James and letting that get in the way of the only real family that I have right here in front of me. Severus, You, Minnie, Sirius, and Remus are my family. I can not live in the 'what ifs' anymore I have to live for what I do have. Harry what I do have is beautiful I am just sad that it took me this long to realize it." Lily hugged Harry.

"Mom you know that I will always love you." Harry smiled.

"Yes I know that very well. Now I have just got to get your sister and father to do the same." Lily smiled.

"Mom do not push them let them come to you. If you push them too hard you may loose them forever.' Harry looked into his mother's eyes.

"I know, I know old wise one. I think that Albus rubbed off on you." Lily laughed.
