31st July 1980
St. Mungo's Maternity ward
James Potter was ecstatic, even though he had virtually no sleep that day. Looking at the faces of his children filled him with energy, this was no doubt the best day of his life.
The Potter twins didn't have names yet because according to the Potter family traditions, the Grandmother of the newborn or newborns gets to choose their names. The older twin, born at 11:49 was a boy with a mop of jet black hair and beautiful hazel eyes like his father and grandmother. The younger twin was a girl with a full head of jet black hair too, but her eyes were the exact green of her mother's. James only had a moment of happiness looking at their innocent faces when he remembered what Albus had told him about The Prophecy. To think that one of his babies might have to be face to face with the Dark Lord was disturbing.
Three days later
Potter Manor
The couple stood side by side in front of the long oak doors with two babies in their arms. The doors opened to reveal the chief Potter elf, Rhonda. When they entered, Rhonda lead the family of four through her Mistress' quarters to reveal a pale looking Euphemia Potter.
" You are finally here, bring them to me. I will fulfil my last responsibility before saying goodbye." Lily and Euphemia got along really well, and it hurt Lily's heart to see her in this state.
James gave his son to Euphemia who delicately held the boy in her arms. " He looks just like you, James, Fleamont would've been so happy to see your complete family. Harry, call him Harry James Potter. You will grow up to be a bright and warm boy, but hopefully less arrogant than your father. You will be the heir to the Ancient and Noble House of Potter."
When Euphemia finished her blessings, Lily handed her daughter who woke up in the arms of her grandmother to reveal brilliant emerald green orbs. She looked up at the old woman, her eyes full of curiosity. Euphemia smiled sadly at her and she knew the little girl's future was to be one full of hardships, but she hoped that she would be wrong.
" Amethyst, Lily Potter. I wanted a daughter just like you, my little princess. May god fulfil your every wish, I wish you a long and happy life. I, Lady Euphemia Potter, do hereby leave all of my worldly possessions, be that my jewels or tomes, scrolls and my dowry to Amethyst Lily Potter." What everyone didn't hear was the incantation that Euphemia murmured.
"Lily let her open the vault on her 11th birthday, and not a moment before." When she finished, Amethyst glowed for a second. With those last words, Euphemia Potter closed her eyes forever.
8 August 1980
Euphemia Potter's funeral
Potter Manor grounds
The funeral wasn't very grand with only the Longbottom's, Sirius, Peter, the McKinnons and Albus Dumbledore attending. Remus left for a mission earlier that day for the Order of Phoenix and the Weasleys were still mourning for the loss of the Prewett Twins.
Sirius had been on an Auror mission when the twins were born so today was the first time he was going to meet them. He got photos, but that wasn't enough for him today he would see them! The good news of the twins was as equally bad as the death of Euphemia Potter. Euphemia raised Sirius like her own without letting any venom for the Blacks get between their relationship. It was a hard loss, but with the war active it was everyday you got news that someone passed away.
After everyone gave their condolences and left it was only The Potter's, Sirius and Peter left.
Sirius and Peter entered the study where the family was waiting for babies were in beautiful white cribs beside one another, the little baby girl was wide awake while her brother was snoring softly on her side.
"Sirius and Peter, Remus has refused to serve as Godfather for either of the twins and Frank bonded with Harry so we come to our second choices, this spell will test your bond with the infant to see whether magic accepts you as worthy Godfathers or not. Honestly, I hope Sirius you are judged unworthy because if we die and my precious baby is left in your hands you will spoil my baby and will teach her to be an arrogant BigHead but we shall see."
As Lily finished Sirius pouted and said, " Aww Lily I don't know what you are talking about honestly, I am so responsible now, I am being Sirius!"
"And there we go the samee old joke and, James what were you saying about he is grown up now Merlin, please don't make him the Godfather!"
Peter interrupted Lily's complains, "Can we do the spell already?"
"Of course Peter, Eligere familia vitae! and at that moment Sirius felt as if he were being pulled by the world's strongest magnet towards the crib on the right.
"NOooooooooo" cried Lily in outrage as she realized the fate that her daughter had been inclined to.
"YESSSSSS my pup I love you so much" bellowed Sirius at the same time as Lily.
"Good job mate but nothing happened to me did you cast the spell on me Lily?" asked Peter.
"Yes I did but you don't have a magical bond with any of the twins sorry Peter I would have preferred you over Sirius anytime but magic chose otherwise." Peter was hurt from the inside but put on a fake smile like he always did.
"Frank had been chosen for Harry earlier in the morning, by tomorrow we will have the documents put together for your declaration and will."
But Sirius interrupted him, "James I don't have any children and being an Auror is a dangerous job so I probably won't have children of my own so I want to make my will and declare Amy my heir because she is not firstborn."
"But the Blacks are solely patrilineal and Amy is a girl."
" Actually that is not a problem because my father passed away and if the Lord at the time decides to choose an heir of a different gender it is up to them, I will need to do a blood adoption even though we are distantly related when Amy turns 5 years old, but the will can be made by next week."
" Oh Sirius you don't have to do this"
"I don't have to James but I want to and I will for my pup."

Some decisions: The twins will not hate each other, but they love each other. Weasley bonding is coming soon and I have no romantic pairings in mind so feel free to comment your ideas.
