~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As Harry and Regan made their way through the castle Harry had a feeling that Regan wasn't telling him everything. He would respect her privacy thought because he knew what it was like not wanting to share secrets. Then he suddenly realized that he had forgotten to ask her why she was just coming to Hogwarts. "Regan?"
"Yeah."
"Why didn't you come to Hogwarts when you were 11 like everyone else?"
"Well I was told that we were separated because of a second prophecy involving me; and my magic was bound because it would be harder for Voldemort to find me."
"What did the second prophecy say."
"Pretty much that if I have Voldemort's kid and he raised it then he would be unstoppable. So this means he want's to kill you and screw me; isn't fate grand?" She asked the last part with sarcasm
Harry just laughed he was glad is sister had a sense of humor because if this year was going to be anything like the last five then they would need humor to get through it. Then suddenly Regan stopped in front of a large wooden door she wispered Marauders forever and the door swung open. She and Harry went inside and what they found two new Uncles looking a bit frazzled and a crying Liam. "What happened here?" Asked Regan with concern.
"Well," Remus started "Liam was a little sad because you weren't here and Padfoot decide to turn into his animagus form to cheer him up."
"I see," said Regan, "what is Sirius' animagus form?"
"I'm a dog," said Sirius.
"I get it, Liam's afraid of dogs," she said "has been ever since he was bitten last summer."
Liam noticed is mother and stopped crying and made his way over to her." "Hey there Sweetie" Regan said as picking him up "I want you to meet someone." She turned to Harry and said "Liam this is you Uncle Harry."
Harry looked at the toddler with awe, he still was amazed at the fact that he the boy who lived had family, not just a sister but a nephew. Harry got devilish thoughts in his head; he had a feeling that Regan was going to have a hard time keeping her son from getting spoiled by his newfound uncles. His sister radiated a type of warmth as she held her son, Harry could tell that Liam meant the world to Regan. Just then, the door swung open and Dumbledore stepped in. Everyone got to their feet out of respect for the headmaster.
"Ah Regan I see that you met Harry" said the headmaster.
"Yes" she said.
"Now I know that you want to go back to your apartment," he said." I had a few Aurors look over the place and there appears that the Death Eaters have left so now would be a good time for you to go." As he said the last part he pulled out a pair of old shoes and gave them to Sirius. "The left is to get you there and the right is to bring you back. Harry and Sirius go with her Remus stay with Liam. I want you back in three hours, and Regan try to tie up any loose ends that you can. All four of them nodded in agreement.
Regan handed Liam to Remus and said "now be good while mommy's gone and be good." The she added, "Hey I love you." Then she faced Sirius and Harry and together they touched the shoe.

Harry felt the familiar pulling sensation and found himself in a small apartment, Harry was rather impressed by it. "Nice place" he said.
"Thanks" she replied. "Its amazing how generous people can be when the hear the words single teenage mother."
"What do you mean by that?" Asked Sirius.
"When my landlady heard about my predicament she took a couple hundred off the rent. It made paying the rest of the bills easier."
"Oh" said Sirius.
Sirius and Harry watched Regan pack up her things it didn't take her long. Regan had decided to just take the things that were most important and that she would need. She took the few knickknacks that held meaning, what was left of her and Liam's wardrobes, the toys that Liam would most want, and last but not least, she took the photos that held so much significance. They reminded one of happier times before and after Liam was born. Regan carefully packed everything away into more large duffel bags.
About half an hour later Regan had everything packed, she went into the living room where Harry and Sirius looked bored. "Hey guys" she said. "I need to take care of a few things alone so could you wait here for another hour and a half?"
"Why alone?" Asked Harry.
"Because it would seem a little strange that I'm with someone that people around here has never seen?"
"Oh" said Harry.
Sirius didn't think that it was a good idea for Regan to go alone but decided that he would tail her in animagus form. As he watched Regan leave, he waited a few minutes before turning to Harry and saying, "I'm going to follow her stay here." He watched Regan talking to an older woman who he assumed was her landlady, then he watched her go into a bank, and he saw her go into a video store where he also assumed that that was where she worked. The next place she stopped was a little confusing he saw her go into a flower shop and come out with white lilies. He wondered why the hell, she would buy flowers but then he soon found out why.
Regan's last stop was a cemetery; Sirius watched as Regan laid the flowers in a grave. He noticed that Regan started crying as she knelt in front of the grave cleaning up the few weeds that had grown on it. She was sobbing; whoever this person was, they meant a lot to Regan. Sirius wanted to go over there and hold her he saw the pain on her face he watched as she sat there for over an hour still sobbing. When she went up to leave Sirius went passed the head stone. It was simple bearing only the name of who was buried one Rebecca Elizabeth Hartson. Sirius wondered who she was.
