As Lily woke up she saw her red matted hair in front of her face and her husband's black rat nest that he called hair. "Good morning." James slurred with tiredness. "Good morning, love." Lily responded. "Guess what," James smiled as he looked at his wife. "We have Harry and we are going to meet Sirius and Remus' kid today?" Lily said with a smile plastered on her face. "Correct," James pecked her lips and got out of bed.
"Mummy, daddy? Are you down here?" Harry asked rubbing sleep out of her eyes. "Yes sweetheart." Lily gave Harry a kiss on the forehead. Mandy, the Potter's house-elf, made waffles, Harry's favorite. Harry gulped up breakfast and ran up the stairs to get ready. He was so excited to meet, or re-meet, Sirius and Remus and Lydia. His parents already told him so much about Remus and Sirius but none of them knew anything about Lydia except for her name and that she was from the Carrow family and was Harry's age.
"Hey, Lydia, did you have a good night's rest?" Asked Remus as Lydia came down the stairs. Lydia nodded and rubbed the sleep out of her eyes. "Good, do you want breakfast?" Remus asked and Sirius shook his head frantically at him. "What?" Remus mouthed. Sirius got up to take over. "Hey, honey, do you want Cheerios for breakfast or banana nut muffins or eggs or, really, whatever you want." Sirius kneeled down to the floor so Lydia didn't have to hurt her neck. "Listen, I know what you're going through. You just came from a, probably abusive, home in which you were always scared that one wrong breath would send you six feet under. You don't have to be scared here. You can eat here, whatever you want, you can sleep without worry, you can tell us anything and everything, you can show emotion here, you can smile or cry or rage, you can love, you can hug people, you can let loose a bit. I get it I was in your situation. Please sit down eat some breakfast then we'll all get ready and you can meet more of your new family, Lily and James are your godparents and Harry is their child. Alright? I know it takes time to adjust but don't worry you will." Sirius sent her a small smile. "Okay," she nodded and gave him a hug. That was the first time she ever hugged someone besides her gram and it felt...right.
There were three knocks on the door, Sirius ran like a child to see his presents from Santa on Christmas. "Prongsie!" Sirius had a broad smile plastered on his face. He grabbed his best friend of 12 years into a bear hug. "Hello Sirius." James laughed and rolled his eyes. Next walked in Lily then walked in Harry who was holding Lily's hand. "Alrighty introduction time!" Remus said with a mouth full of chocolate. "Hello Remus." Lily chuckled at the tall man. "Hello!" Remus said in a sing-song tone.
"Lydia can you come in here please?" Remus said from the common room the the kitchen. Lydia walked in, well stumbled in. She had her nose in a book and walked right into the door frame. "Oh are you okay Lyd?" Lydia nodded and closed the book. She was reading 'Phantoms' by Dean Koontz. She was very, very advance for her age which Remus and Sirius couldn't figure it out.
Sirius chuckled, "Lydia this is Lily, James, and Harry." Sirius pointed to them one by one. "Hello, very nice to meet you, I'm Lasanderia but please call me Lydia." Lydia said in a super innocent voice that made everyone's heart melt and she had a small shy smile on her face.
"Hello, I'm Harry, you look very pretty." Harry blushed. He couldn't get over her flowing red hair, her pale skin, her naturally rosy cheeks, her sprinkle of freckles, her eyes were this magnificent shade of gray and lavender mix, and he loved the shyness she gave off, he felt safe near her. "Thank you," Lydia smiled a little. She could sense something coming from the boy in front of her. It was a mixture of eagerness and sadness. She couldn't get over his smile, his green almond eyes, or his light brown skin. It made her feel happy inside, at least that was the emotion she thought it was because she had only felt it a few times. Lydia couldn't help but give him a peck on the cheek. "What was that for?" Harry asked with a smile on his face. "You seem happy but also like you need just a tiny bit more to fill a space, like you just got away from a bad situation but you're happy for some change that just came." Lydia said looking in his eyes. Harry gave her a peck on the cheek back. "What was that for?" Lydia asked. "For making me feel better."
A/N: So sorry this chapter is so short... I wanted to get this chapter up on time but I had a lot going on and I really wanted to get the Harry Lydia meeting up.
