READ A/N!

A/N: I got a review from someone saying they hate reading about rape and trust me I get that I don't like writing about it. If you didn't pick up on it in the first chapter Lydia was actually raped by her birth father and when Lydia was eight she got raped by Greyback. I have had this story planned out for the longest time, I already know how it's going to end. Vernon's crime will come into play later as Lydia is an activist you'll see what she does with this experience and how things in her past affected her especially as she get older. I did put a trigger warning (I think...) so you don't have to read explicit things but it will be mentioned. It's an awful thing that happens but sadly it does. This book isn't really supposed to be centered around drama anyways... I mean obviously there will be drama considering it is about a teenager's life and we have already seen some hurdles that she faces. Obviously the Harry Potter books can be very dramatic but this wasn't just something that I threw in here to spice things up this is actually very important to the story. It won't pop up every chapter but it is of importance. Thank you so much.

Lydia woke up, a crash sounding downstairs. No! School isn't for another two months! No waking up at, she looked at her clock, 4:03 am? Ugh! Lydia thought as she went into her closet for her beater's bat.

As Lydia walked silently down the stairs she started to hear her fathers' talking. "I'm so sorry, Moons, I have to go." Pere, Sirius, said with a crack in his voice. " What about Lyd? What about me? What about our families? What about Lydia's and I's transformations?" Remus said, Lydia could tell he was holding back tears. Lydia walked all the way down the stairs and confronted the two older men. "What's going on?" Lyd asked in a small voice that for once in her life fit her her tiny appearance but was odd with her strong personality.

"Lyd!" Both men jumped. "Tell me." Her voice was demanding looking the grown men in the eye. "Pumpkin fluff, I-I-I'm being sent to Azkaban." Sirius started to hug her scar filled, uneven, stick-like-body. "Why?" Lydia asked breathing in the scent of cigarettes and oil, from working on his motorbike. "They think I killed Peter Pettigrew." "But you didn't!" "I know," "can't someone do something? What about Dumbledore?" "Dumbledore was never fond of me." "But he helped Sna-" "don't say that name in this household unless you are bad mouthing." "Ugh, but it's true! He did!" "Okay enough! No trashing Dumbledore. He gave me, and Lyd, the ability to go to Hogwarts, without him none of us would be here right now." Remus cut his two family members, who were bickering like toddlers, off. He hated when people insulted DUmbledore.

Soon the family of three heard the floo network. In came Lily, Harry, and James. "Hello," James said happily. "What's wrong?" James asked as he saw the faces of his two best friends and his goddaughter. "I'm being sent to Azkaban." Sirius said looking at his daughter. "What?! Why?!" Harry asked walking to Lydia to embrace her in a hug. "Pettigrew." Sirius said his eyes full of rage. "Are they giving you a hearing?" Lily asked, she, for once in her life, was the calmest in the room. "No," Sirius growled. "Wha-" "Prongs there is nothing we can do about it." In that second they heard the floo go off again. With that one sound Lydia's heart broke a bit more.

It had been two minutes nothing but silence ate at them until they heard a pop of apparition. "Hello, I must say I was hoping to see you in a better mood." Dumbledore said as he looked at all the faces in the room. Lydia cuddled even more into Harry. "Sirius has just been sent to Azkaban. Hello Albus." Remus said getting to his feet. "Oh I'm very sorry. I actually came to ask a favor of you, Remus." "Me? Why me?" Remus looked lost. "Because I think you would make an excellent DADA professor." "It might have escaped your notice but I'm a werewolf!" "So is Lasanderia." Lydia looked at Dumbledore furiously. "SOrry I mean Lydia." "Yes but, I don't know won't it be weird for you Lyd?" "No most people think my last name is Black so it wouldn't affect me. Lydia counter argued. "Please Remus!" Harry begged. "Yeah, come on Papa, please?" The two teens begged until their throats went soar. "Fine!" Remus gave in. "Good, I shall see you September 1st." And with that DUmbledore disapparated.

The next day Lydia came down the steps with a paper in her hand. The Potters were talking with Remus as she sat down in front of her father. "Yes Lydia?" Remus asked.

"Please call me miss Lupin-black."

"Uh, okay, miss Lupin-Black?" Remus said questioningly.

"Mr. Lupin-Black, I would like to apply for a job at your book shop."

"Okay… You're hired." Remus said with a laugh.

"No, look at my qualifications. I speak 25 different languages, I can type 60 words per a minute, I-" Lydia got cut off.

"Lydia, I know you've waited since you were three. You're hired."

"No, I don't want to get the job just because I'm your daughter, I want to qualify for it. Ask me any questions."

"Lyd, it's just me and Kye, you aren't getting this job because you're my daughter you're getting this job because I really need help and I know you're a hard worker and would take this seriously, but if you insist."

"I do,"

"okay, have you read a book before?"

"Yes."

"Can you add and subtract?"

"Yes."

"Can you pick up books?"

"Yeah…"

"Great you're hired."

"I already hate my boss," Lydia walked out of the room amused by her father. "You have to admire her work ethic." Lily said as Lydia walked back up to her room. "Nice to see you too." Harry called after Lydia.

Lydia came back seconds later panting. "You okay there Lyd?" James asked. "Monco does not like when you open the door when he's taking his baths, just a warning." Lydia said hunched over with her hands on her knees. "Awe poor thing." Harry jokingly pouted. "For your information I am not a thing I'm a human." Lydia sassily remarked walking up stairs and running right back down.
