Author's Note-Yea I know I haven't updated in a while but I've had finals and midterms and stuff. So yea I'm experimenting with HTML in the fic so I don't know how it'll turn out so don't yell if it looks bad..*duck and covers* so here's the latest edition of Baby Girl. ~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~

Cyprus looked around the kitchen counter to make sure Katie was still in the bathroom. When he was sure that his dear 'friend' wasn't looking he lifted up his left sleeve to reveal a mark of a skull with a snake protruding. The Dark Mark. His fellow members were already at the Quidditch World Cup planning their attack on other Witches and Wizards. It's amazing how little Katie knew he joked. They knew that Dumbledore had allies in America but the question was to find out iwhoi they were and where they were hiding themselves.

Katie's footsteps got louder on the hard wood floor and walked into the kitchen where Cyprus was trying to distract her by looking in the refrigerator and puling down his sleeve as not to blow the cover.

"Hey I want to thank you again for helping me off the street, god knows where I might have ended up." She looked at her dear friend in the smog of New York. It was nearly dawn and the fading moonlight was casting shadows on her friend's ebony skin. He was looking in the refrigerator and turned his head toward her. She noticed that something was different about him this time but she couldn't be put her finger on it.

"Are you alright?"

"I'm fine thanks for asking again Cyprus. Um I was going to ask what do you want for dinner? It'll be on me. Do you want pizza? Cuz I'm starving!"

"Sure sounds great." Katie went over to the phone to order the pizza while Cyprus had closed the fridge and was wondering when he should try and give her up to the Lord. Her powers are greater than she thinks and it would be useful to help the Lord get his powers back. Harry Potter was the key to give the Lord his powers back. 'Revenge will be sweet'. He thought, 'very sweet.'

Katie volunteered to go and pick up the pizza (wasn't it easier to get pizza places to deliver a few years ago?) Anyway she wasn't planning on going back to Cyprus. While she was in the 'bathroom' she had packed a few of her things she left the last time she spend the night. *~a note to readers nothing like ithati ok!~*

She dated her friend only once but she vowed never again. Sure he was a sweet guy but a little off in the head. He was very possessive of her but when she broke up with him she said that she was a little upset about the her break up with her ex in England still. He bought it but still watched her like a hawk at times. She wanted to leave his house before he did something to her.

She parked her car and went into the pizza shop picked up the pizza and walked out and BWHAMB she bumped into something or someone.

"Are you alright Miss?" The voice of a man asked in concern. Katie looked up and saw an amber eyed man about what would be around her father's age. His brown hair was speckled with gray, there was another tall man looking very sternly down at her, 'his nose is huge' she thought , he had greasy black hair and his eyes were a beady black. There was a dog with them too that was sniffing her hair and licking his lips looking down at the pizza box.

"ummm yea I'm fine. I'll get going now bye." Not wanting to draw more attention to herself she declined the offer to buy her a new pizza.

"Are you sure Miss____, I'm sorry I didn't get your name?"

"My name is Katherine Lupin. And thanks for the offer again but I must decline."

Katie avoided the tall man with the greasy hair because she felt like he was analyzing her he turned his head away and looked at Lupin. Lupin helped her off the dirty ground and brushed the dirt off of her.

"Is she the one Lupin?" She looked toward the man he referred to as Lupin, and she looked at the two men and the dog, which all of them was looking at her now.

"Yes she is." Remus knew who she was when he saw her, there was no way that any girl walking around New York would look like Sara that much.

Snape looked toward her and simply said "Well there's only one way to get her." Remus looked at him with pensive eyes and then simply nodded. The last thing that Katie remembered was the weird man with the tall greasy hair muttering some words pointing something that reminded her of a wand..

~~~*~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~* BRemus's POVB ~~~~NOTE~~~~~ anything in italic or in '' means its Remus' thoughts.

i 'Sirius and Snape are still fighting about the food.' iRemus had been in the middle of their arguments and he swore that they fought like husband and wife. Snape being the wife.(sorry to all Snape fans out there I just had to say that it's the marauder in me lol).

Sirius and Snape had another fight i 'must be number 223 already' i well this time Sirius was upset that the Chinese food didn't sit well again so they went out to get pizza and that's where they ran into his daughter Katie.

She walked out of the pizza shop holding a box of pizza and that's when Sirius bumped into her, knocking her down , at the time he didn't know it was her but when she looked up you could see her blue/green eyes and her reddish brown hair hanging to her shoulders looking at them she just seemed very.innocent. He helped her up while giving a nod to Sirius to tell him that she was his lost daughter.

Snape saw the nod toward Sirius and asked if it was true, although he hated Lupin he trusted his instincts so if he said that someone was his daughter then it was true. He said a spell toward Katie that would knock her out when she was lying unconscious on the ground Lupin picked her up and they brought her back to their apartment.

Sirius gave Remus and his daughter his bed and shuttered at the thought that he might have to share a bed with Snape. Remus' daughter was lying in the bed with Remus never leaving her side. Although it was a simple spell and she would wake in only a few hours it still worried the hell out of Remus. Her red/brown hair created a fan around her face. She had a pinkish color for lips i 'just like her mother'i Remus thought.

i 'I'm going to have to tell her everything. About her mother, my being a werewolf , the trial, the death of the Potters', Sirius. There's so much to do, and Hogwarts, oh god I have to tell her all about Hogwarts too.i Remus was worrying himself about everything that Katie would need to know about everything. His worrying was interrupted by Katie's waking.

~~~~~~~~~~End of Remus' POV~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

'My head is pounding' Katie opened her eyes to see the same amber eyes hidden behind the brown hair that had speckles of gray gently adding to the man's age. He was looking very pensive at the moment as if he was thinking about something from the past and trying to remember something that caused pain, since his eyes were closed and he seemed very. depressed or lonely if that's what you could call it.

"What happened?" Katie wanted to break the awkward silence between them and the man opened his eyes and looked at her with kind eyes.

"So you're awake. Are you ok? Here have some tea."

"Um sure ok" Katie willingly drank the tea (although she preferred Coke) wondering if he was up to something. 'He seems to kind to have done anything to me, and I don't remember him trying to drug me or anything so maybe he just wanted to help her or something.'

"Katie I want to ask you something do I look familiar to you?"

She looked up from her tea and looked at him closely, she was rather taken back at the idea of seeing this guy elsewhere because he had a wolfish trait to him. But he did look a little familiar but didn't remember where.

"Yea a little but I don't know where. But I don't think I've ever met you before, and I'm sleeping in your bed I don't know where I am and I have no clue what's going on and... "

" Nothing is going on and you're staying at my friend's house and we have met before, I doubted you'd remember so that doesn't surprise me, I guess I really will have to start at the beginning now.."

Katie nodded and quietly hushed her fears and let the strange man tell his story. 'Katie, my pretty Katie, my god how much you've grown, she looks so much like her mother I wish I could have been there to see her grow up..' Remus just kind of looked at her thinking how this might affect her but he had too.

"I'm a wizard from England sent here by the Head master of the magical school for witches and wizards called Hogwarts. I'm here with my friend" (he shuttered at the thought) "Severus Snape who's a teacher there, we're trying to keep an eye out on the Dark Lord Voldemort. We're part of an order to try and convince the wizard government of England that the Dark Lord might try and get his powers back again. Are you following me so far?"

"Yea seems kind of James Bond-ish but ok, but what does this have to do with me?"

"I'm getting to that part. I was sent here by Albus Dumbledore to find someone I lost a long time ago. I went to Hogwarts when I was 11, a few years younger then you are now. I had an, ahh.illness that not many people wanted to be around, so most people avoided me my whole life, I was overwhelmed that I could actually go to the school my parents went to, and learn everything they did. I had friends then at that school, James Potter, he was smart and great at quidditch, a sport we have, Sirius Black, his jokes made everything a lot better, you could have the worst day and he'd brighten it up, and Peter Pettigrew, he was close to me since I had to tutor him often, he wasn't the brightest of us but he was clever enough to join in our pranks we pulled. I went to that school till I was around 17 went I graduated, that's when I met your mother, Sara West, she was the best friend of James' future wife Lily Evans. You see Katie, I'm you're father."

~~~Author's Note again~~~: I think that since James and Sirius were really close (since in book 3 they said so) then probably Remus and Peter were close so his betrayal would have hurt him the most, also I don't think Remus would tell Katie that he is a werewolf just yet. I know I'm mentioning the "Order" now but I think that Dumbledore would have started it earlier but not have it so involved just yet. I'm going to get into everything more but it's gonna probably be a few more chapters before Harry gets involved, after I do the major events that take place in the Order of the Phoenix, I'll get into my twist on the story for the summer, so that it does try and keep true to the books even if I don't like the death of ________________ in the 5th book. I'll try and update again soon. Wonder how Katie's going to react to Remus being her father.
