I don't own Harry Potter!

Harry Potter

And

Dumbledor's Secret

Chapter36

"Mary! Harry!" came from the semi-shocked form of Remus Lupin.

"Hm? Five more minutes, dad," Mary mumbled and buried her head into her semi-firm pillow."

"Um? Remus, what's wrong?"

"Did she just call me 'dad'?" Remus asked shocked and a bit choked up.

"Think so," Harry yawned as he finally opened his eyes and gazed down fondly at the sleeping girl on his chest, chuckling a bit.

"Hm? Why is the pillow moving?" Mary mumbled sleepily as she woke up slowly to find Remus and Harry in a fit of giggles. "Oh, Harry-pillow. That explains everything," Mary yawned as she sat up and stretched. "Hi Remus."

Remus stopped laughing and sighed as he felt like he'd lost something, "Mary… I would like to adopt you."

Suddenly Mary was awake, "REALLY!" Mary jumped off of Harry and flung her arms around her new dad.

"Mary, I think you're choking my unofficial godfather," Harry chuckled at the scene.

"Sorry dad!" Mary loosened her hold on Remus, "So does this mean that I'm now Mary Lupin?"

"If you want to be once we make the adoption official…" Remus seemed rather nervous and embarrassed.

"YIPPIE!" Mary squealed and quickly pecked him on the cheek before returning to Harry and kissing him senseless. Then she ran out to tell the others the good news!

"Wow! Remind me to make her happy more often!" Harry murmured breathlessly.

"I think you can do that one all on your own, Mr. Potter," Remus smirked. "But now that Mary is to be my daughter… I think we'd best cover some ground rules…"

"Um… does it matter that I've had this same chat with Draco, Ron, my mum, Dad, Sirius, and her two demon brothers?" Harry winced nervously.

"No," Remus smirked.

"Dad," Mary poked her head back in the door. "You better not be threatening my boyfriend, he's already got enough people after him, he doesn't need an ex-werewolf as well as Voldemort, Shippo, Sesshomaru, Draco, Ronald, Luna, Ginny, Fred, George, Bill, Charlie, Aunt Molly, Uncle Arthur, Uncle Sev, Neville, Sirius, Lily, and James out to kill him." Then she disappeared again to seek out their friends.

"She does press a rather large point…" Remus grumbled. "Just know that if you hurt her that I will be after you as well."

"DRAKE! DRAKE! DRAKE! DRAKE! DRAKE!" Mary was jumping up and down ecstatically when she finally came upon the Slytherin heir.

"Mary, have you eaten sugar recently?" Draco raised his aristocratic eyebrow.

"No! Remus said he's gonna be my new dad!" Mary then squealed excitedly and wrapped the Slytherin heir in a hug.

"I'm happy for you, really! Just don't choke me to death!" Draco joked.

"Awe, I love you too Draco," Mary Stareye, soon to be Mary Lupin, hugged him gently.

"I know you do, but not as much as you love Harry," Draco pointed out smiling.

"Draco, I do love you, but as a brother and one of my very best friends. Harry is my boyfriend and best friend," Mary frowned. "Besides, we're in the mark on finding you a girlfriend that isn't like a pug or wants you only because you're cute and rich."

"Erk!" Draco began to slowly back away from Mary, "Who exactly did you have in mind?"

"Well, there's always Lavender and Parvati…" Mary smirked evilly.

"NO WAY IN BLOODY HELL!" Draco growled furiously.

"Calm down, I was only kidding," Mary chuckled. "Really I've been thinking you should go on a few dates with Padma Patil and see how it works out."

"Patil? Isn't she related to Parvati?"

"Twin sister, but she's a Ravenclaw. Luna says she's the sweetest girl in there and she won't date until she thinks she's met her match in wits," Mary dangled a proverbial carrot in front of Draco.

"I'll think about it," Draco responded calmly.

"It was either her or Bullstrode," Mary shrugged as she left a horrified Draco in his new room.

"BULLSTRODE!"

"JUST KIDDING!"
