-- 2 years old - Yule Holiday 1976 --
14th December 1976 Potter Manor -
Sirius enters Potter Manor quietly, closing the door behind him. Wincing slightly at the muted bang the door makes, Sirius freezes for a moment straining his ears for any sign of noise in the manor. Breathing a sigh of relief Sirius makes his way to the stairs, ready to get at least an hour of sleep before he has to get up to greet the Potters.
"Where have you been?" A voice suddenly calls out behind him, a light flicking on.
Sirius yelps and jumps around his wand reflexively falling into his hand.
Eyes wide Sirius sheepishly tucks away his wand at the raised eyebrow he's faced with.
"Well?" Euphemia potter asks unimpressed, elegantly crossing her legs where she sits in her armchair, the lap casting a glow on her face.
"Would you believe me if I said I went on a walk?" Sirius asks, grinning at her charmingly only for it to falter at the unfazed look on her face.
"No."
"Fine, I was maybe- sort of- setting up a prank that me and James planned for Remus and Peter." Sirius rushes out, rocking on his heels slightly with a sheepish grin. Honestly he's a father now he should be above being intimidated by this woman. Then again he doesn't think anybody can't not be intimidated by Euphemia Potter.
"Want to try again?" A dry voice pipes up, causing Sirius to yelp as yet another lamp flicked on.
"James?" Sirius questioned, blinking at him owlishly. He really needs to open those black out curtains.
James potter sits in the other armchair, looking uncannily like his mother with the same unimpressed look.
"Well, where have you been? I've been worried sick!" James exclaims, narrowing his eyes at a baffled looking Sirius.
Sirius looks at James and then at Euphemia several times, his head turning from one to the other.
"Well?" James repeats impatiently.
"Oh Merlin there's two of you." Sirius whispers horrified.
"Stop trying to avoid the question." Euphemia and James say in unison causing James to sit bolt right in shock.
"Oh Merlin! I'm turning into my mother! I'm-" James cuts himself off with a gasp "I'm turning into an adult!" He finishes with a wail, getting up from his seat and pacing back and forth frantically as Euphemia watches him amused.
"Sirius where have you been?" Euphemia asks softly rising from her seat and approaching him.
"I-" Sirius falters, not wanting to lie to the woman who took him in and has been the mother to him he always needed. Not able to lie to the woman is daughter calls Grandma.
"I can't tell you." Sirius finally says, closing his eyes.
"Why not? Are you in trouble?" Euphemia questions starting to feel alarm building in her chest.
"No, No its a good thing! But I just can't tell you." Sirius rushes to reassure her, not wanting to worry her.
"A good thing?" Euphemia repeats, becoming slightly baffled at the way this is going. Paying no mind to James who's pacing up and down still, frantically muttering under his breath something that sounded like 'I am not my mother'. She would be offended if she didn't find it so amusing.
"A really good thing." Sirius confirms with a smile.
"A really good thing?" James repeats, finally snapping out of his internal crisis and approaching them. Although he still has a faintly horrified look on his face.
"A great thing." Sirius gives him a grin, his eyes unknowingly lighting up at the thought of his daughter.
"Are you seeing someone?" James blurts out, trying to ignore the hurt in his chest that his brother won't tell him something that obviously makes him very happy.
"What?! No!" Sirius exclaims, his eyes wide with shock.
"Its okay if you are. Nobody will judge you, you deserve to be happy, you don't need to hide it from us it's been two and a half years." James reassures him gently, unaware of his mother watching him proudly.
"Couldn't have said it better myself." Fleamont says as he enters the room, Remus and Peter following him sheepishly. Fleamont makes a beeline for his wife and lays a gentle kiss on her cheek in greeting.
"How long have you all been there?" Sirius asks faintly horrified, the lot of them must have applied silencing charms.
"Since we were woken with a distraught wail of 'I am turning into an adult'" Remus says bending his fingers as he quotes James with a roll of his eyes.
"So? What's the big secret?" Peter asks, watching everybody with quietly calculating eyes.
"Can't you all just leave it alone?" Sirius pleads, knowing that he won't be able to resist all of them.
"Sorry Padfoot this has been going on for years now. We're worried." Remus says apologetically, coming to stand next to him and placing a hand on his shoulder.
Sirius looks at him for a moment, before turning to look at everybody else seeing nothing but concern and care on their faces. Sirius hesitates for a moment before sighing. He had been wanting to tell them anyway, but his daughter came first. Maybe...
"I'll tell you. But!" Sirius starts raising his hand to prevent interruptions, "You have to swear a secrecy vow."
They stand in stunned silence for a moment.
"What? Why?"
"Are you okay?"
"Are you in trouble?"
"Are they on the darkside?"
"Is it your parents?"
"Don't be silly he said it was a really good secret."
"Enough." Euphemia states raising her hand causing all the men to fall silent.
Euphemia gazes at Sirius silently for a moment, unable to see any signs of distress or fear. Just pure nervousness. And that spark in his eyes earlier, she could have sworn she'd seen him wear it before when-
Euphemia gasps lightly as she looks at Sirius in shock.
"Mum?"
"Mia?"
"I, Euphemia Potter, swear to keep Sirius Orion Blacks secret until he releases me from my vow." Euphemia recites confidently raising her wand, knowing that if she's correct there's no way he will agree to tell them anything without one.
Sirius practically sags in relief, as one by one the others all repeat the vow.
"Thank you." Sirius thanks, tears shining in his eyes.
"So? What's the secret." James asks, his face serious.
Sirius takes a deep breath, internally debating on how to break the news, before he mentally shrugs.
"My daughters alive."
Ten minutes later, Remus is sitting on the sofa staring blankly at the hot chocolate in his hands, Peter is stress eating the plate of pancakes the House Elves had brought through, James was sat next to his father holding an ice pack to his head where he impacted on the floor when he fainted and Fleamont is gently trying to make sure that Sirius is still sane and it isn't apart of his imagination. Whilst Euphemia is sat next to Sirius on the sofa opposite holding his hand gently as he reassures Fleamont for the 60th time that yes he is sure his daughter is alive and no he has not gone insane.
"Why don't you let Sirius explain dear?" Euphemia finally interrupts her husband gaining a grateful look from Sirius.
"Oh right" Fleamont says sheepishly, as everybody turns to look at Sirius expectantly.
"Um so I guess I should start at the beginning." Sirius says, nervously scratching the back of his neck.
"That would be a good place to start." James agrees, still in slight shock that his niece is alive.
"When people discovered that May and I were married and expecting a child there was a slight uproar as you remember. May was getting threats against her and the child and mail trying to bribe her to get rid of our child and dissolve our marriage. And I was getting mail near daily threatening me, May and our daughter. Obviously May and I could protect ourselves but Asterope couldn't-"
"Asterope?" Remus interrupts with a smile.
"Yes, my daughters name is Asterope Indi Black. Although we mostly call her Indi, I call her Puppy most of the time." Sirius explains a beaming grin coming onto his face at the thought of his little Pup.
"Anyway, um it wasn't until I got a letter from my mother saying that if I was insistent on keeping the child she expected custody of it as she couldn't have me raising a black to be as disappointing as me. She made it clear in her letters about what she would do to my pup once she had custody."
"That wicked bitch." James curses, the fury in his eyes mirrored by the others.
"Why didn't you keep the letters as evidence?" Fleamont asks with a frown.
"Because they would burn once I'd finished reading them and I found I couldn't share the memory of them or tell anybody. The only thing I could say to May was that my mother wanted custody and given the fact she knew about my childhood it was enough to convince her."
"She really covered all of her bases didn't she?" Euphemia says grimly, now she understands why he wanted them to swear a vow. If even a whisper got back to Walburga...
"Yeah, we decided that for her safety we would send her to live with Andy until we graduated. Nobody knows where Andy lives given she lives in the muggle world so she would be safe. Andy had put glamor's up to make it look like she was pregnant so nobody would question where another baby came from suspiciously at the time my daughter was born."
"That's why you've been mysteriously disappearing a lot. You've been visiting her." Peter realizes, causing Sirius to give him a nod.
"Tell us about her." Euphemia encourages, a smile on her face as everybody looks at Sirius eagerly.
"She is the cutest thing you've ever seen. She has my beautiful hair and Mays green eyes with a ring on my silver around them. And she's really smart too. She's way ahead of the baby manual!" Sirius exclaims, pouting slightly.
"Baby manual?" Fleamont and James repeat incredulously.
"Yeah, it said she shouldn't be walking until they're between 9 and 18 months and she walked when she was 6 months old! and she spoke 4 months early!"
"Has she done her first accidental magic yet?" Remus asks, enjoying the look of pure adoration on Sirius' face.
"Yeah, just remove the accidental." Sirius snorts, going to explain only to hesitate for a moment.
"Sirius?" Euphemia questions, a look of concern on her face.
"Her eyes glow gold when she does magic." Sirius states his face serious... No pun intended.
"WHAT!!!"
"That hasn't happened since Merlin!" Peter says incredulously, a feeling everybody can relate to.
"I know, she's really powerful. Her first magic was when she was 2 days old and she made all the teddies in the room float and spin in the air. She doesn't do small infrequent acts of accidental magic. She uses her magic near constantly, at the very least every day. And is very purposeful, there's nothing accidental about it." Sirius explains, proud but grim.
The lingering hurt anybody felt at not being told about her fades away at this. Now more than ever they understand why Sirius kept her a secret. If the wrong people found out about her... He was protecting her.
They all sit in silence for a while as they try to absorb what they've been told.
James was the one to break the silence.
"The real question is has she rode a broom yet." James asks with a smirk, ignoring the disapproving look on his mothers face.
"I got one for her for her first birthday, she's a natural Prongs." Sirius barks out a laugh.
"Don't worry it has a set speed and height and she's always supervised." Sirius rushes to reassure Euphemia at her disapproving look.
"Well bring her here then" Euphemia demands her hands on her hips "I want to meet my grandchild"
"There's no need to be scared Puppy, we're just going to see you're uncles and Grandparents" Sirius reassures Indi, who sits on his hip clutching him tightly as they approach Potter Manor.
"Unc Pwongs? Gwanma? Gwandad? Unc Moony?" Indi asks, looking up at her daddy with wide excited eyes.
"Yep and Uncle Wormtail." Sirius agrees, tightening his hold on her as she starts wriggling excitedly.
"Hang on Hang on." Sirius laughs, balancing her on his hip as he reaches to open the front door.
Everybody freezes as they hear Sirius laugh as he opens the door, holding their breath in anticipation.
Sirius rounds the corner and they finally get their first look at Indi. Euphemia gasps a hand rising to her mouth as Fleamonts arm around her tightens. She's adorable, looking around, her unique eyes wide on her baby face, her black curly in pigtails and wearing black tights and a long red coat.
"Everybody, this is Asterope." Sirius introduces them, placing her baby bag on the sofa nearest him.
"No Daddy me Indi Puppy!" Asterope protests, looking up at him with a pout.
Euphemia gently untangles herself from Fleamont and makes her way over as the boys stand in shock, just gazing at her.
"Hello Indi, do you know who I am?" Euphemia greets tears in her eyes, as Indi looks at her with a beaming smile.
"Gwanma!" Indi cheers, reaching forwards and out of her fathers arms causing Euphemia to look at Sirius in shock.
Euphemia laughs wetly, taking Indi into her arms and places her on her hip.
"Gwanma." Indi smiles, giving her a kiss on the cheek.
"Yeah, I'm Grandma. It's lovely to meet you Little Indi. You look just like your daddy." Euphemia says, a beaming smile on her face.
"Me wike daddy?" Indi asks wide eyes, looking at her daddy and then at her hands.
"Yeah, you're like a mini me." Sirius agrees, smiling at the look of pure adoration on his Adopted Mothers face.
"Let's hope she doesn't get your mischievousness." Fleamont laughs, coming over.
"Gwandad!" Indi squeals, lunging out of Mia's arms and onto Fleamont who catches her and swings her onto his hip.
"I see it's too late." Fleamont chuckles deeply, running a finger over Asteropes cheek before tickling her neck making her to giggle.
Sirius stands next to Euphemia who wraps an arm around him.
"Way too late." Sirius agrees with a bark of laughter.
As Euphemia and Fleamont talk to Indi, Sirius turns around at the sound of a sniffle.
James stands there tears in his eyes as he frantically tried to wipe them away.
"Are you okay there Prongs?" Sirius asks amused.
"I promised myself I wouldn't cry." James sniffles as Peter automatically pats his shoulder in comfort, his shocked gaze still on Indi.
"Down! Down! Pwease!" Indi demands wiggling in her grandads arms, looking around frantically as she hears the word Prongs.
Fleamont puts her down with an indulgent laugh.
"Unc Pwongs!" Indi squeals, running across the room as fast as her little legs can carry her and barrelling into his legs.
"Uncle Prongs?" James repeats astonished, looking down at the little girl clinging to his legs.
"Well you are her godfather." Sirius says with a mischievous smirk, eyeing the camera floating around that he'd pressed record on as soon as he entered the house.
"Godfather?" James repeats losing the battle of keeping his tears at bay.
"Uh oh Unc Pwongs sad?" A little voice pipes up, causing James to look down quickly.
Eyes wide James quickly scoops her into his arms, his panic at seeing her bottom lip wobble, overshadowing his fear of dropping her.
"No no no, I'm not sad, I'm really happy." James reassures her quickly, holding her like he saw Sirius do it.
"Me make better." Indi nods firmly, ignoring him as she turns to her daddy her eyes glowing gold.
"Puppy don't you dare." Sirius warns her slowly backing away, knowing his fate is sealed.
Eupehmia and Fleamont gasp as they see her golden eyes.
Suddenly there's a pop and Sirius stands there his hair styled vertically with bows, his face slathered in make up and wearing a large glittery poofy ball gown.
Everyone stares at him shocked for a moment before James starts to laugh.
Asterope turns to look at her Uncle Prongs with a giggle her eyes no longer gold.
"All better!"
"That was awesome Puppy!" James cheers, giving her a high five.
"Looks like we have a new marauder." Peter grins, standing next to them and holding his hand up for a high five which Indi does with a 'Unc Womtail'.
"Why is it always my hair." Sirius whines, Euphemia joins him in trying to turn him back to normal.
"I see what you mean about non accidental." She tells him, trying not to laugh.
"There's no point, it won't come undone unless she want's it to." Sirius complains, with a pout.
A flash blinds him slightly and Sirius turns around, gaping when he see's Peter there with his camera.
"Say 'I'm a pretty princess!' " Peter mockingly coos, James and Indi laughing next to him.
"Puppy if you take the spell off me we'll go flying with Uncle Prongs later." Sirius pleads making his way over and trying not to stumble with the high heels adorning his feet.
"Bwoom?" Indi gasps excitedly, turning to look at him with wide eyes.
"Yep, we'll show them you're broom." Sirius promises, giving a sigh of relief as her eyes shine gold and he feels himself go back to normal.
Peter and James looks at her with wide eyes, catching a glimpse of her gold eyes this time.
"Wow, you were being serious." James gapes, as Asterope gives him a toothy smile.
"I am Sirius quite a lot surprisingly." Sirius smirks, ignoring the groans he gets at his joke.
"Moony, aren't you going to come say hello?" Peter asks, turning to look at their final member who has been very quite.
Indi looks up at the sound of his name and locks eyes on Remus who stands there watching her his eyes filled with awe but refusing to come closer.
"Unc Moony!"
"I don't think that's a good idea." Remus whispers, shaking his head slightly and taking a step back.
"Unc Moony!"
"Come on Moony don't be ridiculous." Sirius scowls, annoyed that there having this conversation again.
"I'm a monster Padfoot, how can you trust me with your daughter." Remus hisses at him, his eyes filled with self loathing.
"Because-" Sirius starts fiercely, only to be cut of by the sound of James startled yell.
Turning around they both startle to see a floating Indi heading straight for them and launching herself into Remus' arms, her eyes glowing gold.
"Unc Moony!" Indi cheers, wrapping her arms around him in a hug.
Remus looks at Sirius desperately only to see him watching them looking smug, making no move to help, his eyes daring him to reject his little girl because of his own insecurities.
Taking a deep breath Remus wraps his arms around her tightly and closes his eyes breathing in her scent. Feeling the wolf inside him settle down, one word repeating over and over in his head.
"Hello Cub." Remus whispers, a tear leaking out the corner of his closed eyes.
"Unc Moony." Indi sighs contently, snuggling further into him.
"I want to hold her!"
"She's my niece!"
"She's my granddaughter!"
"She's my Goddaughter!"
"Good luck getting her from Moony."
"If you lot aren't careful you're going to wake her up!" Remus says quietly, from where he's sat in the armchair a fast asleep Indi curled up on top of him.
"That's alright for you to say, you're hogging her." Fleamont argues, ignoring the fact he's acting rather juvenile. In his mind he has the right to act juvenile when it comes to his granddaughter. Merlin, he has a granddaughter.
"That's just because I'm her favourite." Moony raises a shoulder in a half shrug being careful not to move the shoulder Indi's resting on.
"You take that back!" Fleamont, James and Peter snap, narrowing their eyes at the smug werewolf.
"Typical Indi, she would choose Moony to fall asleep on." Sirius comments, from where he's sitting on the sofa, filling in some paper he'd taken from Indi's bag.
"When will she wake up." James pouts, upset that he isn't getting to cuddle his goddaughter.
"I'd say we have another half and hour." Sirius shrugs quickly glancing at the clock, "It's her nap time."
"What are you doing Sirius dear?" Euphemia asks, carrying in a plate of cookies she made for when Indi wakes up.
"No that's James!"
"No that's me!"
Sirius and James say in unison, sharing a smirk.
"I need you to sign this James" Sirius says, signing the last piece of paper with the blood quill.
"What are they?" Fleamont asks, picking up the small stack of paper.
"They're documents to make James her official Godfather." Sirius explains, smirking as James bolts up from where he was sitting and snatches the papers out of his fathers hands.
"Give me the quill." James demands, snatching the quill from Sirius and seating himself at the coffee table reading through the papers and signing where needed, ignoring the burning on the back of his hand, knowing the blood quill is necessary to seal the document.
"And done." James cheers five minutes later, writing his name for the final time before it rolls up, glows green and disappears.
"She's officially mine! All mine! Now hand her over Remus." James demands, jumping up from where he was sat and holding his arms out expectantly.
"I think you'll find she's mine." Sirius protests playfully, barking out a laugh at the stink eye James gives him.
James ignores Sirius and looks back to Remus his hands still out.
"No." Remus smirks, smiling as Asterope wiggles to get comfy again.
"What do you mean no?" James asks, ignoring the amused looks his parents are sending him, Fleamont having given up getting a cuddle this time.
"I meant no. You want to hear it in Spanish?" Remus says dryly, being careful not to move and disturb Indi.
"But-"
"Don't worry Prongs you can go flying with her after she's woken up." Sirius comforts him, trying not to laugh as James flops onto the sofa next to him with a pout.
"But-"
"Do stop whining James." Euphemia sighs, leaning into her husbands side as they watch their son sulk like a two year old.
"Oh Merlin!" James suddenly exclaims quickly sitting up again, wincing slightly as everybody shushes him.
"It's fine I put a silencing ward around her." Remus reassures them, stroking a hand through Indi's loose hair.
"What's the matter Prongs?" Peter asks, pouting slightly as Euphemia sends a stinging charm at his hand as he tries to sneak another cookie.
"I have less than 10 days to get her Yule presents!" James exclaims wide eyed, Remus, Peter, Euphemia, Fleamont and James share looks of panic.
"I'll get the catalogues!" Peter exclaims running out the room.
"He does know the summoning spell right?" Sirius points out amused by their panicking, the only reason he's not panicking is because he's already done all of his shopping for her.
"No James you cannot get her a Pegasus." Sirius groans from where he's flopped on the floor, his head pounding. Everybody has spent the last half an hour pounding him with questions and asking his opinion on what his Pup would like for Yule and he is going insane.
"What about-"
"Daddy?" A sleepy voice perks up.
Everybody quickly turns to see a half asleep Indi sitting up on Remus' lap, rubbing her eyes cutely before reaching out for Sirius.
"Good evening Puppy." Sirius cheers quickly getting up and scooping her out of Remus' arms who pouts slightly despite having hogged her the past hour.
Indi mumbles into his shoulder, one hand reaching for his hair, the other grasping his shirt tightly.
"What was that?" Sirius asks, amused at her half asleep grumbles.
"Where Nimmie?" Indi asks, looking a little more alert.
"Nymph is at home, we've come to Grandma and Grandads house. Remember?"
"Gwanma! Gwandad!" Asterope perks up her eyes wide, looking around.
"Hi!" Indi waves at everyone, a toothy smile on her face.
"Hey Pup, did you sleep well?" James perks up, quickly coming to stand next to Sirius and holding his arms out for Indi, shooting everyone a smug look as she goes into his arms.
"Yee." Indi agrees, causing James to coo slightly at her cuteness.
"Do you want a cookie Indi?" Euphemia asks gently, picking up the platter of cookies and offering it to her.
"Cookie?!" Indi gasps excitedly, quickly grabbing one from the plate, "Tank ye." she adds, before shoving the cookie in her mouth.
"Aww you're welcome sweetie." Euphemia coos, running a fond finger over her cheek.
"Now if you'll all excuse us where going to go fly." James announces, grabbing Asteropes coat and shoes and gently helping her put them on, quickly vanishing the mess on her hands and face.
"Bwoom?!" Indi exclaims excitedly, wriggling in place making it harder for James to get her ready
"You can't just take her James." Peter protests, from where he had been hovering waiting for his turn to say hello.
"Yeah, we're going to go fly on your broom." James says excitedly, swinging her up into his arms and making his way out the house.
"James you can't just take her." Fleamont repeats exasperated.
"Watch me." James smirks and strides out of the room with an excited Indi on her hip.
"She'll get cold!" Euphemia protests.
"I've put a heating charm on her." James calls back, opening the front door.
"Hang on I'm coming!" Sirius shouts, grabbing Asteropes broom out of her bag and racing after them.
"Me too!" Fleamont says, pressing a kiss to Euphemias cheek before rising from his seat and following them out.
"It's meant to be Godfather and Goddaughter bonding time!" James protests, quickly grabbing his coat from the Cunard.
"You forgot her broom and I'm not leaving you two unsupervised." Sirius rolls his eyes, handing a sheepish James the little broom.
"Unc Pwongs Siwwy." Indi giggles, watching them with a big smile.
"Oh how dare you!" James gasps playfully, tightening his hold on her in a panic as she bends over giggling.
Fleamont rolls his eyes and uses the opportunity to snatch Asterope out of James' arms ignoring his protest.
"Come on little one, lets see how well you can fly." Fleamont says, grabbing the broom from James and finally going outside, followed by a protesting James and an amused Sirius.
"Oh Merlin!"
"Should she be able to go that fast!"
"Watch the tree!"
"Quick catch her!"
Sirius laughs watching Peter, James and Fleamont chase after Indi who flies low around the grounds giggling madly.
"Go Indi!" Sirius cheers from where he stands next to a nervous Remus and Euphemia, grunting as they both elbow him.
"That's it!" James declares, "Accio James Potters Broom!" he chants, swishing his wand in the air.
James quickly grasps the broom flying towards him, jumps onto it and flies off after Indi.
"Gotcha trouble." James exclaims, slowing down to fly next to Indi
"Unc Pwongs!" Asterope giggles, giving him a toothy smile her black curly hair blowing wildly behind her.
"You're a natural!" James announces, smiling at her proudly calming down now that he can keep up with her.
Asterope giggles again before she suddenly makes a sharp turn and flies over to where Fleamont and Peter are stood gasping, their hands on knees.
"Hi Gwandad! Hi Unc Womtail!" Indi cheers, flying around them in circles.
Fleamont and Peter both wave at her, still catching their breaths.
"Well you can certainly fly." Fleamont praises her, finally straightening up.
Asterope squeals, shooting off towards Euphemia, Sirius and Remus.
"You see? You see?" Indi asks excitedly, pulling to a sharp stop in front of them.
"We certainly did." Euphemia smiles raising a shaky hand to her chest.
"Did you magic the speed again Puppy?" Sirius asks amused, smirking lightly at the sheepish look on his daughters face.
"Me want go fast." Indi pouts, floating over to Remus and taking her hands off the broom wrapping her arms around his neck whilst she sits on the broom.
"You see Unc Moony?" Indi asks, looking up at him with wide innocent eyes. Remus snorts internally, his wolf finally settling, she's anything but innocent.
"Yes you little imp, I did see." Remus shakes his head, unable to resist smiling at her.
Asterope just giggles before flying off again, zooming past James.
"Catch me! Catch me!"
Edited!
The new chapter is up! Hope you enjoy! Sorry it took so long life has been hectic.
Please review I would love to know what you think! What do you think to the introductions? Who's reaction was you're favourite?
Also would you be interested in seeing them all celebrate Yule together? Do you want to see the others reactions to her being alive or shall I just reference back to it? Are you enjoying seeing Asterope's childhood or would you prefer I skip ahead to that fateful Halloween night? I'm surprisingly enjoying writing her interactions with the marauders, I personally think it's very cute!
Another thing! Do you ever get it where you plan out the plot to the book and then your mind plays the scenes out and wants to write the scene but it's not time for the scene and then it won't function on writing the scene you need? Anybody? Just me? Okay!
AND I'm really sorry about the updates that aren't new chapters, I was reading through and saw some areas that needed correcting or improving! I know I should edit the before I upload them but as I'm writing the chapter I check for mistakes but by the time I'm done the last thing I want to do is go back and read and edit it all. My brain hurts too much for that and I want to upload it as soon as possible for you guys! So bear with me please?
(Alright I've finished rambling now! If you made it to the end of that chapter of an authors note, Thank you!)
