We noticed something about Rosa maybe a week after her first birthday. Katie was on the floor playing with Rosa, showing her the different colors and shapes of her playing blocks.

"See…This is blue and its square…"

Rosa watched her big sister as she spoke, she was really quiet, not babbling or cooing like she normally did.

"And this is r-….."

Katie stopped suddenly and looked at Rosa. She had a shocked and almost scared look on her face.

"D-daddy…?"

"Aye sweetheart?"

"Ummm…..Rosa….is uhh…I think she's reading my mind somehow…."

I looked over at Alastor a bit surprised by this, Alastor simply stood up, walked over to them and sat on the floor giving Katie, who was scared by this, some time to calm down. He played with Rosa on the floor trying to get her to do it again.

"What's daddy's big girl doing? Is she playing with her big sissy?"

Rosa didn't coo or babble at Alastor and for a while she was quiet. Alastor smiled and slowly stood using his cane and gently picked her up and called Katie back into the room.

"Well….I'm pretty sure I've found what t he fuss is about. And Katie you have nothing to worry about. She can't hurt you."

"What is it…?"

He gently handed little Rosa to Katie.

"She does indeed to have the ability to read minds. Do you know that this is called?"

Katie held Rosa and thought long and hard about it, she had learned about this in school a while ago.

"Oh! Legilimency! Wait….So Rosa is going to go to Hogwarts too?!"

Alastor chuckled and smiled I smiled too.

"Aye if she wants to."

"She has to get her letter first."

Katie gave a squeal of delight and danced around the room with Rosa making her giggle. Alastor gave me a look. I knew what this meant, we'd have to learn to guard our thoughts. About five years passed. Katie was now a grown woman, 20, had just gotten married to David Anderson the year before and had her own home in Hogsmead and was teaching History at Hogwarts. Jr was already 17, graduated top of his class and went strait into the academy to be an auror. I wasn't too thrilled about this but Alastor beamed with pride for our son. Jr had also just started dating a girl named Kayla Miller. She was a lovely young woman, a muggle. He was saved the task of telling her of his magical heritage, Kayla already knew of it due to having a couple of siblings that were attending Hogwarts. So she knew the Moody name and who my husband was. Those two got along great.

Rosa was now five and had a head full of dark brown curly hair and brown eyes. She kept her father on his toes, always asking him questions and always trying to break though magical barriers to read her fathers thoughts and when that didn't work she'd try it on her brother.

"Oi! Come here you!"

He'd pick her up and tickle her. Rosa would squeal with laughter.

"Star's got you now!"

"Daddy! Help meeehehehehehehe!"

Rosa had given Jr a pet name, Star, she couldn't pronounce his name and she also couldn't say Jr. Alastor shook his head as he watched the two.

"Sorry darling, I don't know how to block tickles."

Rosa would squirm out of her brothers grasp and then chase after him. One day Jr came to me about something, something that I had wished to keep from my children.

"Ummm….Mum? As a new protocol for our final Auror exams we have to take a DNA test. Well mine came back and there must be a mistake because it says my grandmother was Bellatrix Lestrange."

I just kind of sat there at the table and looked over at my husband who gave my hand a comforting squeeze. I sighed. I decided to tell Jr my story.

"Huh….That explains Rosa's freakishly curly hair."

Alastor let out a chuckle and shook his head.

"She does have your mothers genes. Her hair is a mess on a good day…."

Jr didn't seem upset by this but was concerned by what his co workers and mentors would say.

"Son, remind them of who your father is if they give you trouble for it. But don't go bragging about it either, you take your job seriously and you do not play around. You do your job and you do it right."

A year after Jr had officially become an auror we had gotten a call from St. Mungos. Jr had tracked a magical creature dealer who had also started to smuggle in muggle drugs, mix them with death potion and redistribute into the muggle community. Well, he hit Jr with a spell that split his jaw in half at the chin. When we got to the hospital he was laying in bed sound asleep. He had a bandage that went from his bottom lip that sopped at the end of his throat. My heart about broke seeing him there, I felt the need to run to him and scoop him up in my arms like he was a little boy again. I looked over at my husband, he had a very shocked expression on his face, his chest was heaving and he was gripping his cane like it would suddenly fly away.

"Alastor…?"

He didn't say anything he just stood there. I gently laid my hand on his arm.

"Alastor…Come on lets step out side."

He came out of his trance enough to nod. I walked out into the waiting room with him. As soon as he sat in a chair he began to cry, sob, silently and he shook so much. I hugged him close to me and helped him calm down. By this time the ministry had given special permission to people born into mixed magical families to visit loved ones in hospitals so Kayla was able to see him, they had just gotten married as well. I went back with her seeing as Alastor was in no condition to.

"We had to wire his jaw closed as well for it to heal."

"Will he be able to speak?"

Asked a very shocked Kayla.

"After the stitching and wiring comes out? Yes but he might have a lisp."

She nodded and sat by his side.

"Just as long as he'll be alright."

The dr nodded saying that he would be. I went back to check on Alastor just as Jr had begun to wake up.
