Chapter Four – Daylight

A/N: Thanks for your reviews! God, I am so in deep still with this story, I'm in love with it so much. Oh and, I forgot to put this up. My disclaimer. The wonderful J.K Rowling owns all of the characters featured in here, except for Anna Michelle, Merriweather Michelle, the plot, the idea of a Team B for the order of the phoenix (the OotP owned by J.K as well) also anything your not acquainted with, ask me in a review and I'll tell you if it's J.K's or mine. Again, I do not own Harry Potter characters, spells ect. I'm just having my fair share in playing around with them. If you think it's wrong, don't read this story. Anyway, onto the chapter.

Severus Snape sighed and then groaned, "Shouldn't he be back by now if the girls not there?" He asked, Tonks nodded in agreement and yawned, the Team B leader and the members were outside, guarding. Albus sighed as well, Blue eyes still twinkling with respect.

"Poor man," Dumbledore said, sighing once again, concern filled the room. They were all in the kitchen, everyone on chairs, Mad-Eye's eye could see through walls, and thus seeing Anna and Remus there, talking.

"I think you may be wrong," he said, cracking a smile. Tonks leaned in, interested in him.

"Ooh, Mad-Eye, what do you see?" She asked curiously, smiling slightly, he grinned right back as Severus let out a huff of impatience. Mundungus was already gone, he thought ahead, knowing they weren't going to find the girl.

"Well, I can tell you. The Kid's gorgeous." He said, not flushing at all, in fact only smiling, portraying no more emotion. Tonks, however was frowning. Severus stood up and grimaced.

"So we've been waiting here for an hour while them two talk!" He said, obviously angered at this news. Albus stood up to stop him from going down the hall and ripping the two of them to shreds.

"Severus, this is a fragile child, she has never had anyone to talk to but Remus, so please, have some consideration and realize that you cannot tell them what to do." Severus looked surprised at the headmasters sudden tone, but knowing Dumbledore, he admitted his defeat and sat back down.

Fifteen minutes later, Remus was at the door standing with quite a large bundle in his arms, one that appeared to be sleeping. He smiled, and held her tighter, "I gave her a special potion. One that Harry made for me, told me that my use was greater that his, Works like a charm." He said gesturing down at the sleeping bundle, Severus almost fell out of his seat, Harry Potter? A charm at potions? He couldn't believe it! He wouldn't believe it. Severus only let him do Advanced potions because the headmaster had told him it would be good for the boy to continue with his class. One potion didn't change what Severus Snape thought of Harry Potter, not one bit.

They stood up to leave, Remus being extra quiet because of Anna, Tonks watched the two as Mad-Eye Moody did as well, they sure did love each other, she thought, but as a father daughter relationship. Precisely as Remus thought of them to be, and as Anna did as well.

Team B was taken back to their own headquarters and saluted Albus Dumbledore and the Order members present a good day, and one of them smiled at the sleeping Anna. Dumbledore told Remus that Anna should stay at the Noble house of Black in a spare room with him, just so she could be protected, and tomorrow, they would buy her new clothes and hopefully see about sending her to Hogwarts, everyone said their goodbyes to Remus and Anna and all left, Remus walked in the house with the sleeping child still in his arms only to be greeted by Molly and Arthur Weasley.

"We just couldn't sleep until we knew that she was safe," Molly said to Remus, he nodded and stroked Anna's pale skin and smiled at her sleeping face.

"And to think I almost lost her." He said in a small whisper, Molly looked at Arthur uneasily and he looked back at her assuringly, Remus however, was still engrossed with the miracle in front of him. After a small converse, Arthur went to bed, Molly redressed Anna with a wave of her wand and then showed Remus up to the spare room where she were to sleep, he was to stay with her, for safety reasons, he was partially afraid of her being caught, but he closed all the blinds and made sure every light was out, even locked the door so they were in pitch black darkness, so Anna wouldn't freak when she saw daylight, he wanted to be there to see her beaming face when the rays of sunshine hit her face, he was planning it out very carefully.

Remus, held Anna in his arms and fell asleep, her small body pressed up against his as if a father embracing his daughter in a lovingly way, then surprisingly, he fell asleep like a baby dreaming only of positive things.

The hideout was grubby, but the man running across the halls and through the corridors didn't care, he had news, bad news, about a girl in a cabin. He kept running, not caring about the cockroaches or the spiders in the corners of the place, lurking in the shadows and watching him.

He sped up faster and realized that he could not stop if he wanted to, until he reached his master, he didn't want his master to wait and hear the news from someone else, that would mean he would be disowned or worse, his real identity would be found.

This man didn't really care about Lord Voldemort, his master, he only cared that he kept up his job until he was free to go, which the Dark Lord had promised him in return of his services. It was rare that the Dark Lord would let a death eater go, but he was very helpful to the Dark Lord and the master had many reserves waiting to be official members and they were much better when they were young, but really, it sickened this man to know that young blood would be spilt serving Voldemort.

He came to a big circular room, the man raced to the foot of what seemed to be a throne, an old one though, it was as if it lost it's gleam and shine long ago, it was now a dark sooty black colour. He knelt down and kissed the hem of the Dark Lord's robes.

Voldemort hissed, realizing that someone was there, delivering news to him. "Yes, What is the news?" He asked with an impatient huff.

"My lord, terrible news," he paused frowning deeply, "Many loyal servants have failed you, the child has escaped." With this he knelt back down and put a hand over his heart.

"We have many children in our grasp, tell me which one!" Voldemort forced, the man kept staring at the floor as he stood up and spoke once again.

"The girls name is Anna Michelle, the one that had been locked in the cabin since a baby." He said with no emotion, even though this news was bad to Voldemort's temper, to see a man like him, with no emotion or caring whatsoever about a child, was good work to him.

"Yes Avery, you are a loyal and faithful servant." He paused, "Wormtail!" he called to a man in the corner, the small mousy man rose and came closer to his master, "Find that child, she couldn't have gone far. Avery," he looked down on the death eater as the man named Wormtail left, "Are you loyal to me and not to Harry Potter?"

The man named Avery stood still and had no emotions on his face again as he spoke spitting out each word, "Yes, my lord, I am as loyal to you as a dog is loyal to his owner," Voldemort raised an eyebrow, the man didn't see this and continued, "But either you or me could not care for such an animal as a dog, and an owner is too weak to be called worthy of you so only the basic fact stands, none of the rankings are true." He once again knelt down and kissed the hem of Voldemorts robe.

He smirked an evil smirk, "You will be rewarded greatly Avery, you may go."

The man named Avery left in no hurry, and on his way back out, killed every single cockroach and spider he found lurking in the shadows.

At the exact same time, one thousand miles away from where Voldemort was hiding, both Anna Michelle and Harry Potter awoke with a start, both sweaty, both just had the same dream about Lord Voldemort receiving news on the escape.

Anna put a hand to her head as she felt a hot white pain through her skull, it was only a mere headache, her eyes grew quickly accustom to the dark and she turned around, to see Remus Lupin laying next to her. She remembered it all, he had come for her, like he said he would. She stood up and shook him once, even though he looked so peaceful all alone under the covers, when she couldn't awaken him, she slipped into the bed and did what he had done to her last night. She kissed the top of his head.

With a jump Remus awoke, the room was pitch black and he was sure it was night time, he was about to go back to sleep when a small voice uttered his name, "Remus?"

"Anna." He said remembering, he realized what she had done and flushed, pretty sure that Anna had grown friendly to the dark and saw him go red. She frowned and then replied him.

"I had a bad dream," She said, as if a child crying to her mother, Remus understood her case and went easy on the child.

He paused as if pondering something, "Anna, I am going to disappear for a second to see someone, will you be alright on your own?" Remus asked concerned, Anna nodded, which was a stupid thing to do in the dark, but he was accustom enough to see her nod. He did and told her, "Relax in bed and I promise, I will come back."

Anna believed him as he unlocked the door. She watched him closely. As the door opened, she saw something she had never seen before, a strip of light, it was more beautiful than she had imagined, but in another second, it was gone like Remus was. Did she make it up? Was their really light out there? She had to know, but as she turned the doorknob, she found it was locked. He must have locked it automatically. She didn't think of it as a big deal, since she was locked up and shunned all her life, but she heeded his words and crawled back to bed, she was smiling for the first time since ages.

Outside, Remus told everyone who was awake (which was everyone) to turn off all the lights, due to Anna not being able to see them until he opened the front door when they were to go out, all windows were covered and everything was in darkness, they could barely see each other.

Remus opened up the door to the spare room and stepped inside, then whispered to her. "Anna?" There was a small movement and he found himself being embraced by her. She whispered back at him.

"Was it real?" She sounded hopeful almost upset, he knelt down and looked at her in the dark.

"Was what real?" He asked concerned, what was Anna talking about? He pondered, but realized as she spoke to him in her small and hushed tone.

"The light." She said, pausing for a breath, she seemed to have seen a light somewhere, but the windows were being painted magically black so it could only reflect black, then he remembered the light that had blemished the room when he had walked out of the door.

"Yes Anna." He paused like she did, smiling to her as she gave him another hug with a huge smile of her own, it touched his heart more than anything else to be gifted with her smile. He loved it, he stroked Anna's cheek and she smiled up at him. She knew she was acting like a baby, but now she knew, the light was real. There really was a world out there.

She was positively giddy, more happy than any other time in her life, "Remus!" She asked suddenly, he fell over, and for some reason she found that funny, she giggled and it lightened up her face, it lightened up Remus's face as well to see her like that.

"Yes my love?" He asked her, she flushed a red at him calling her 'my love' as a symbol of affection, she obviously meant a lot to him. And for that she was glad, she had forgotten all about her bad dream, her mind was filled with the possibility of light.

"Oh Remus, Can I see it again!" She asked, He nodded and she grinned again, he then turned serious and she watched him, while sitting on her bed. "What's wrong? What is it?"

"When we go out to see the other people in this house, I have made the rooms dark because I want you to see the sunlight in the day as your first real experience, so please forgive me, the sun's rays are lighter than any light bulb ever made." She beamed and he smiled back at her. Then she held out a hand to help him up from falling on the floor. He said a small thank you and took her hand, then opened the door.

I linger in the doorway
of alarm clock screaming monsters calling my name
let me stay
where the wind will whisper to me
where the raindrops as they're falling tell a story…

Anna's eyes were still used to the dark, she opened them wider so she could walk down the stairs properly, she kept her hand bound with Remus' as she walked. As they came to the stairs, on a few, Remus almost tripped, but she held him up, he thanked her for that and he opened the door into the kitchen. To Anna's surprise, it was huge, the room was spacious and there were quite a few people there. Four of which were her age, one motherly looking woman, a tall man that one of the boys looked like and two teenage boys, they all were sitting down, and all looked friendly.

…In my field of paper flowers
and candy clouds of lullaby
I lie inside myself for hours
and watch my purple sky fly over me…

"Anna, we will meet these people in a minute," The small girl nodded as Remus said this and everyone watched as he walked out of the room, almost everyone followed them out as they watched him and Anna approach the front door, this was it, Everyone, including Anna and Remus thought.

…Don't say I'm out of touch
with this rampant chaos - your reality
I know well what lies beyond my sleeping refuge
the nightmare I built my own world to escape…

He put a hand on the lock as Anna shivered in anticipation, she had no idea what was coming, but she knew what it basically was, Remus was going to show her to world with light. The world she had never seen. As he twisted the lock, Anna braced herself mentally and physically, even though she knew what would happen next would be totally unexpected.

…In my field of paper flowers
and candy clouds of lullaby
I lie inside myself for hours
and watch my purple sky fly over me…

What Anna saw next was too perfect for words. The door opened and her eyes were filled to the brim with tears as she looked at the world, colours of all different shades met her eyes, she felt them come down as she took another step out into the place of so much wonders, so many colours, so much bliss. The tears rolled down her cheeks and dampened her shirt as she watched the hue of everything. All the light no darkness whatsoever, she couldn't believe it, it was too perfect. Too perfect. Her bare feet were slightly sore on the pebbles that blemished the front yard of number 12 Grimmauld place, as she knelt down and slightly hurt her knees, she remembered no pain.

She looked up at Remus and as if it were the first time she saw him, he had perfect features when they were filled up with light, sandy brown hair, light eyes full of emotion, thin red-pink lips and stern also filled with emotion features. As more tears filled her eyes she stood up and embraced him, he was crying also, he knelt down to her and hugged her deeper, then smelt her hair as he held the child, he was so happy to see her happy. She was so different by the light.

…Swallowed up in the sound of my screaming
cannot cease for the fear of silent nights…

"Oh Remus, It's absolutely beautiful." She spoke quite loudly, trying to be heard, he knew the family and people behind him were all crying as they watched the two as well, and in front was Harry Potter, watching a life being saved.

And finally they let go, Anna gazed up into the sun, or near it anyway, since she had heard that it could cause blindness and she didn't think she could take it if she were blind, if she were to never see this again, never see her Remus. Her Remus. He loved her, she loved him. He was her's, and she was his.

Remus held her and realized, that Anna was his, he loved her she loved him he was her's and she was his, he stood and held her hand as he walked back into the house with her, feeling proud of himself for making Anna so happy, his mind registered that this was the happiest he and she had ever felt, she had been saved by him, she had been shown the light by him. They were meant to be with each other and he knew he would never ever leave her again. Not in a million years.

Anna smiled up at him and he smiled back down, both had love in their eyes as they looked back at the light before closing the doors in Darkness, Molly Weasley sniffed back and wiped her tears as did everyone else before turning on the light. Anna was still surprised as she looked at everyone's faces. She giggled and they all laughted, Remus thought this was the best thing ever, if only Sirius were here to see it. He realized that Sirius was there, was there with them but in spirit. That he would always be in their hearts, he accepted it and accepted something else.

Anna Michelle had finally seen daylight, she had finally met daylight.

…oh how I long for the deep sleep dreaming

the goddess of imaginary light…

A/N: Aww, wasn't that so sweet! I'm sorry, I had trouble writing it, I loved it too much and I wanted it to be longer but I don't think I could detail it any more. You might think I'm overreacting but this girl has NEVER seen the light or sun at all, so she had to be impressed, she has never seen bright colours either. I just wanna run and give her a huge hug the poor lamb! Don't you? Lol. Please give me your feedback, do you like it? Do you hate it? What can I improve, please tell me! It will only take seconds to review this story. Oh BTW (By the way,  if no one knew what that meant… Crickets), The song is called 'Imaginary' by the wicked cool rock band Evanescence, I just HAD to shove that in somewhere, that song is an inspiration to all! Thank ya for reading this. Another chapter up soon. C'ya!!
