A/N: I always thank the people who review me, so first of all I would like to thank: EMerald QUeen. And yes, I am actually writing another chapter. I wouldn't have written it usually so fast, but cos two people reviewed it. And I would also like to thank IceFrozen. If you read the Norns, you would begin to understand. Originally, this fanfic was going to have NOTHING to do with it, but I just added Iris and Daisy and thought what the hell.
I thought I had explained what the Flowers were. If you see the Disclaimer and look at the Flowers' names I think you can see why they were called the Flowers. They were all buddies with the Marauders, and hence they became the Marauders Flowers. They were basically a female version of the Marauders.
Disclaimer: I own Daisy, the Flowers (actually I think Daisy is the only one left who is still alive. Originally there was: Lily, Iris - see prologue - Rose and Daisy.) Miranda, Claudette and Colette. Erm, I think that is about it. Just a little reminder: Daisy and Sirius were engaged, had Claudette, then expected Colette, then Sirius is taken to Azkaban, then Daisy finds Miranda, adopts her (Miranda is Lily and James' child).
What happened in the previous chapter: Lily tells James and the gang she's pregnant again. Then, they get killed, then Daisy sees the grave tender digging up Lily's grave, and finds out that this Muggle woman (Miranda Whitehorse) heard a baby crying, realises that it's the kid that Lily was pregnant with, adopts her, goes home, finds Remus who's married to her pregnant twin Iris, finds out Iris is at the hospital with a miscarriage, Remus and Daisy are thrown out of St Mungos and then they get a letter telling them Iris has committed suicide because she was so depressed when she lost her child, and her two best friends, and basically after all her losses in life.
Chapter Two: Daisy's Job Interview (August 1995)
Daisy Fletcher was dressed in her formal black robes. She had married her old friend Mundungus Fletcher for the children's sakes. She had been engaged before to Sirius Black, and she had had two of his children; Claudette who was around her Godson Harry's age, and Colette who was a year younger. She had adopted Miranda, Lily and James' child, who had been born after their death. Miranda never called her mother; Daisy knew she was Miranda's only mother, but she refused to allow Miranda to call her mother. She constantly told her stories of "how it used to be", and Miranda felt as if she knew her parents as if they were still alive.
Mundungus, or Gus, was not the love of Daisy's life. He could never match up to Sirius, but Sirius, her friend, lover, companion, confidante was now a convicted murderer. Daisy knew that he was not a murderer; he had told her about how he was going to bluff Voldemort; make him think that Sirius was the Potter's secret keeper, and had swapped with Peter, who had, in fact been the Traitor. If only Sirius had not swapped, but how could he know? How could anyone know that Peter would turn out to be Voldemort's little rat? Daisy knew that Sirius had escaped from Azkaban. She also guessed that he had escaped as his dog form, though she had no idea how he had managed to keep sane.she had also guessed that Peter had faked his death and killed those poor, poor Muggles, and then transformed. She had complete faith in Sirius; she felt more of a traitor than him, getting married when her fiancé was in Azkaban.
"Mum, where are you going?" Her eldest daughter Claudette asked. She had Sirius's eyes, Cheshire cat smile, and Daisy's hair.
"I'm going to Hogwarts for a job interview. Now, be a good girl for Dad and be nice to Colette and Miranda," Daisy added, adjusting her pearl earrings. Claudette and Colette referred to Gus as their father, though Miranda called him Gus.
"Mum! You know I'll be good, and I'm always to nice to Col and Miranda!" Claudette exclaimed. "Oh, and good luck!"
Daisy kissed Claudette, then kissed Colette and Miranda, and explained to them where she was going. Colette was the youngest; a fourteen year old girl who had Sirius's dark hair, dark eyes and the rest of Daisy. Miranda looked identical to Lily, except she had James' chocolate brown eyes. She laughed, talked, acted, thought like Lily. It was like having another Lily.
Claudette, Colette and Miranda had been home-tutored by Daisy, until she had decided to let them go to Hogwarts this year. She didn't want any of the other kids bullying Claudette and Colette about Sirius being their father, and Miranda refused to go without them. Then, Claudette and Colette had begged Daisy to let them go to Hogwarts. They said they would ignore any snide remarks about their father and would stand up to any bullies. Which was why Daisy wanted to fill the Defence Against the Dark Arts post; so she could personally make sure that her two daughters would be treated OK.
She had one daughter with Gus; a two-year-old baby with his corn-flower- blue eyes, and her blonde hair and her nose, and smile. Little Sandra. Daisy was going to ask if she could bring Sandy with her to Hogwarts, if she got the job.
She Apparated from the House to Hogsmeade, and walked into the Three Broomsticks, ordered a butterbeer, drank it, then walked to Hogwarts, memories of her time at Hogwarts playing around in her head, making her drown in a well of sorrow. She shook herself. She was going to have a job interview; Dumbledore would not want a teacher who suddenly burst into tears in the middle of lessons. And besides, maybe she could do something that could change everything.
Pushing that thought out of her head, she muttered to herself: "No! We all promised we wouldn't meddle with those things again!"
She didn't realise it, but she had suddenly found herself outside Dumbledore's office. She thought for a while, wondering what the password was, when the gargoyle moved, and revealed Dumbledore. He smiled down at her, and his eyes gleamed behind his crooked nose.
"Well, well, Daisy Daffodilla! Back again, and this time you're not in trouble! Ah, those were the days. Look at you all now, you've been split up and half of you killed. Whatever happened to the Marauders or the Flowers? I sometimes wish you had all stayed at Hogwarts; it was your protection."
Daisy knew what he meant; she had often thought those very words. All those happy memories were now a distant glory. If only you could stay at Hogwarts until you were thirty-five.they'd be pranking, laughing, mucking-about, just like they used to in the golden days.
"Dumbledore, sir, I am now Daisy Fletcher."
Dumbledore stared at her. He knew that Sirius was the only one that she had ever loved. She had been flirty in her days at Hogwarts, going out with one guy one week, another the next, like Sirius. Then, they had finally found the courage to be together, and they clicked. The chemistry was apparent to the most casual onlooker; everyone could see that they had each found their true loves.
"But Sirius isn't a murderer!" Dumbledore exclaimed; clearly he though Daisy had turned her back on Sirius, believing that he was a murderer.
"I know he's not. I was the only person besides Lily & James who knew that Sirius and Peter had swapped. I just simply married Gus for the children's sakes. Claudette is the eldest; she is fifteen and is Sirius' child. Miranda is fourteen and is Lily and James' child. I adopted her when I saw a grave tender digging up her mother's grave, when he told me that this muggle woman had heard Miranda crying. Colette is Sirius' child and is also fourteen; he was sent to Azkaban before she was born. Oh god, Albus, why did everything have to go this way?" Daisy collapsed crying into Albus Dumbledore. Suddenly, there was a sweeping of a cloak, and she heard a man's voice speak. She knew who it was; Snape.
"Ah, Dumbledore, I was wondering, if there wasn't any people offering to be the Defence Against-"
He didn't get to finish. Daisy spun around saying, "I'm here for my interview, now bog off, moron!"
"Well, well, if it isn't Daisy Daffodilla. Look what's happened to the marvellous Flowers. You're the only living one, aren't you? The only one left. What has happened to your glorious gang? And the Marauders?"
"Shut up Snape!" Daisy glared at Snape. He wore a smirk on his face. "At least none of the Flowers joined Voldemort?"
"And the Marauders? Were they as squeaky-clean?"
He was mocking her, and the Marauder's Flowers. He must've known, working for Dumbledore, who now knew about Sirius, that Wormtail had ended up to be nothing more than a.rat.
"Oh, well the true Marauder's were. Like, Sirius, James and Remus. It's only double-crossing, two-faced, lying rats like Peter who aren't true Marauders who joined Voldemort. You see Snape; the Marauders Flowers was built on friendship, trust, equality and our shared love of pranks and humour. Not power, ambition, determination or evil crap."
Dumbledore told her to step into her office, and told Snape to be on his way to the staff meeting.
"I'm sorry, Professor. I'm just very touchy about things like that," Daisy shifted uncomfortably in her seat.
Albus smiled kindly at her. "Well, after all your losses, I can't say I blame you. You know, I think you deserve this job; you were very good at DADA when you were here, and you are extremely charismatic and have a way with children. I think you'll be great."
"Really, Professor?"
Dumbledore nodded. "Of course. It'll be good for you to be doing something, rather than dwelling on your memories. And you could really make a difference. Remember the happy memories with love, and happiness, not remorse. And also, the dead will never leave you. Your friends and your sister are always with you, and never will leave you. You must have a strong will to not loose the will to live through such dark times. You are a survivor; Daisy and you will be fine! And remember, you'll always have me. I will be very pleased to have your two daughters here, and Miranda. They will be sorted with the first years."
"Professor. I have a two year old daughter, who is just too young to be without her mother, can she stay with me too?"
"Of course. And I think you'll find Madam Pomfrey will be obliged to look after her on Monday-Thursdays when you're teaching. On Fridays I would like to look after her."
"Professor, thank you so much. For- for everything!" Daisy shook Dumbledore's hand.
A/N: So do you like it? I hope you do. If you want to, r/r. But remember, this is the SEQUEL to The Norns.
