Chapter 21 I have a daughter?
"My daughter:? Hermione is my daughter? Why didn't I see it before? I've been with her a lot of times, I asked her to get Emmy for me, and yet I didn't see it. She looks just like you, Caty. except now that I see it she has my chin and my eyes." Sirius said pacing back and forth. He looked upset, confused, and a little angry.
"Sirius, this means I'm your son-in-law and Emmy as my sister you daughter-in-law-in-law. So that means we're all related some how. In a twisted way." Harry said and they all smiled and Sirius laughed. Hermione walked up to her father and hugged him for the first time since he knew the truth that she was his daughter.
"I'm glad that you are my father, Sirius instead of some other evil git a.k.a. Severus Snape." She kissed him on the cheek.
"Hermione Catherine Potter! That 'evil git' is unfortunately is your second cousin."
"WHAT my cousin! Eww, eww, and eww! Harry we're related to Snape. EWW!
"Mione, sweetie what do you mean.EWW?! Caitlin asked her daughter. "Mum, I'm sorry but he was the meanest teacher since well ever!"

"Mum! She called me mum." She looked delighted at the pet name. "He's a teacher? And he treated you badly. Oh I'll kill Snivelers. He knew she was my. he knew." She walked over to the fire and threw Floo Powder into the fire stuck her head in and screamed "Marvinous Severus Snape! Get your ass in here and explain your behavior. NOW!" At Snape's real name Harry and Ron grinned even though they were his colleagues they still hated him. Then Snape came out of the fire, unfolded himself from the fireplace, and stared at his cousin, her family, Sirius, Lupin, and the others in the room. "What did you say, Wilding? He said sneering.

"Why did you treat these kids this way after you promised me and my mother that you would look after Hermione?" "You know why I treated Potter, Weasley and your daughter, Caitlin the way I did." "You didn't want to show favor to G-Gryffindors, to James's son after all these years after all that happened. Voldemort is dead but a servant had a daughter by him, a daughter that is rising Dumbledore knows it know you do too. That woman named her Vanesa. Voldemort sent her to be trained in all dark arts at Durmstrang with Kakarof knowing who she was, then Voldemort trained her with what he knew. She's all evil. I know I've met the bitch. This was about the time Emilie and the others were in their 6th year of school." Caitlin said with tears in her eyes. She continued. "Do you know why I know this, Severus?" Using Snape's name for the first time. "I know this because I had to live with our mothers for the reason that I couldn't raise my daughter because she was with the muggles. Since I HAD to give up my daughter before I got a chance to tell her father. It's all YOUR fault." She said pointing at Snape. At this she broke down and started crying. Sirius came to her and led her to the love seat and held her as she wept whispering nonsense in her ear and rocking. "Shh, Caty shh its all right baby, shh everything is going to be all right." To Snape he said "Tell Dumbledore what you heard, tell him to reinstate the Order. GO NOW!" Snape left the room. Emilie and Harry went to the other room dragging with them Ron to get Caitlin some tea and to give Sirius and Hermione time with her mother. They were silent for quite awhile. Harry was the first to speak. "What I want to know is how Cate knew what we looked like when we were babies, and what Mum named us." "I know how she knew, Harry, she knew because she was our godmother, but what I don't understand is how she became our godmother and why she didn't take us in after mum and dad died. " Emilie said rubbing her stomach absently. "Remember what I told you Dumbledore told me, Dumbledore said that since old Volde didn't know you were a living twin that he, Dumbledore couldn't risk the fact that when and if Volde came back that if he found out you lived you would be dead. You heard what Caitlin told us she had to live with her aunt and mother, what if they were Deatheaters or their husbands?" Harry answered.
"Yeah I know. Caitlin couldn't risk the fact that if she took us in that the Deatheaters would come and kill the both of us plus if she already had Hermione her mother would have made her get rid of her daughter why would that evil woman let Caitlin take in a pair of orphans like us." She went on after Harry's speech as Sirius came in. "What's taking you lot so long. me a father who knew?"

"Hermione did. and so did I." Emilie answered but continued with her explanation. Sirius gave her a look. "But I promised her that I wouldn't say a word until she found her mother. She told me earlier today."
"Hey, Dad. how's Mom?" Harry said as Emilie and Ron laughed as Sirius
stared at Harry. "It is alright if I call you Dad, Caitlin already
told me to call her Mom." Sirius had a blank look on his face, "Huh
yeah call me Dad if you want, Harry, if you want." "Sirius, are you alright?" Emilie asked walking over to him.

"What, Emmy? Oh yea I'm fine. Why do you ask?" He asked.

"Oh well you just don't look so good, have you eaten? " Emilie asked concerned.
"Wha. no I haven't eaten. Can you get me something, Emmy?"
"Yea I can. Ron, will you please go to the kitchens and get them something to eat? I'm not sure Caitlin has eaten? she said to her husband as he gave her a mock salute and left the apartment. She hugged her godfather. (She got to be very clingy towards the end of her pregnancy.) "Come on you two let's go back in so we can get some answers." Harry said coughing to break up Sirius and Emilie as he was wanting to be with Hermione with all this new family in her and his life. ````Meanwhile in the living room~~~ Hermione sat with her mother as she slept thinking about what Caitlin told her and the others. Snape is my second cousin. That's just nasty. My grandmother didn't want me around. Were my great uncle and grandfather Deatheaters? How did Mum become Harry and Em's godmother? What happened to Lily and James really? Oh so many questions and so little time. Harry, Sirius, and Emilie came into the room, Hagrid had left when Snape did and Lupin was in the other room waiting patiently for the others to come back in. Sirius and Remus were now in their late 40's, and getting older by the day. As Hermione looked at the two friends she couldn't help comparing their looks. Both were handsome with slightly graying hair but that was where the similarity ended. Lupin, because of his transformations looked much older then his age as Sirius was still a little hollow-eyed from Azkaban after all these years. She smiled at all of them and put a finger to her lips.
"Shh! Mum is still asleep so lets go to our apartment for awhile so we can talk." The others agreed. Emilie hung back to lie down for a while as she was tired but also to tell Ron and Caitlin where to go. After awhile Emilie, Caitlin, and Ron who was followed by about 10 house elves who were carrying a feast for 10 even though there was only 7 in the group came into the apartment. It was about 9:00 Emilie looked exhausted, Ron looked hungry even though he had eaten 4 hours before, and Caitlin was smiling as if something wonderful was about to happen. They all talked for 3 ½ more hours but as it was getting late, not about the questions each person had for each other, Emilie, Ron, Sirius, and Remus went back to the other residence as Ron and Emilie had more room for the others. Hermione got Caitlin settled and then she and Harry retired to their room. After ½ an hour and very heavy groping Harry spoke.
"Happy, babe?" He asked putting a hand on her stomach as the babies moved around, thinking that there was only one inside.
"Very happy, Darlin'. I have something to tell you. I might be having more than one child next year." She told him sleepily snuggling next to him as Harry was wide a wake now.
"Twins?"
"Maybe I don't know yet. Now go to sleep we have shopping to do in the morning for Emilie and us. Goodnight, Harry.
"Yea goodnight, Miones. But twins? "
"Harry, go to sleep!"
Ok, ok, Good night." He said drifting off.

A/n In the next chapter we will find out who returns Umm. how do I say this. from the dead. We will also find out how Caty became the twins godmother, but not in great detail. I was also wondering if any one would be a beta Reader if so email me @ poohbear@yahoo.com and for a title put Beta Reader. I was also thinking about doing a fiction about how the Marauders and Caitlin became friends, you know a James and Lily fic. Tell me what you think about this and the other chapters. I know chapter 20 jumped but I really wanted to get to this chapter. I also want to apologize in advance if it takes me several months to finish a chapter because I'm just starting college and the only time I get to write is after homework before I go to bed and even then sometimes I don't get to write. I want to thank all the people for the reviews the good and the bad, but mostly the good. I know I'm babbling and you want to get to reading, so I'll leave you to reading. ~Allie-2003~
