Nyphandora Tonks apparated into the orphanage and went into a new room, with the younger children. Children were becoming orphans right and left. She put a bawling Leya down and sighed. It was loud, full of crying children, but Leya was crying the worst. Just this day, 10 children had become orphans. A few of the children were sleeping and others were fooling around. Tonks looked at Leya. Sighing, she lifted the child again, trying to calm her down. As a half nymph, Leya was a very small child. She was just six, which in the eyes of the nymphs, still a toddler. Leya showed no signs of quieting down. She had fallen asleep during the trip, but the minute she woke up, she went into a crying fit again. Tonks was still pacing back and forth, trying to calm the young girl down when Remus Lupin, Mundungus Fletcher, Mad Eye Moody, Mr. And Mrs. Weasley, and the rest of the Order apparated onto the scene. Mrs. Weasley looked at all the young children and felt her eyes building with tears.

"Tonks?" Remus asked. She put young Leya down and sadly looked at all the children. "I hate to leave them, but we need to talk." She motioned to the adjoining room. When the Order was fully seated, she set on a silencing charm and locked the door.

"We have a problem."

"Well, I hadn't noticed that!" Mundungus said sarcastically. Tonks rolled her eyes and continued.

"Voldemort is on a rampage. He is too weak to do anything after the attack on the Potters, but his fellow deatheaters are as loyal as ever. I have a feeling he is trying to regain his power. Children are being made orphans right and left. Just today, we had to bring 10 children to the orphanage. Yesterday it was 8. Today, two children of prophecy, royalty, according to their nymph tribe, were attacked. One is dead, the other has lost her entire family. The boy who died was her twin. The twins are half nymph, half wizard. Babies, in their eyes. Other children were muggle born or half bloods. 8 of them were younger than 10; the others, not much older."

"Well, what do we do?"

"First, help get these children adopted. There's more than the orphanage can handle and find out the plans." The screaming from next door interrupted her. "We'll meet again. First, the children."

They followed her outside, where Leya was crying uncontrollably. The other children were quietly whimpering or were silent. Tonks looked at Leya sadly and lifted her up. She had taken quite a liking to the young girl, but she just couldn't get her to calm down. She looked at the other members.

"She's the most recent orphan. The half-nymph, child of prophecy. Her family was the deatheater target. She's been like this since I found her. I just can't seem to quiet her down."

"She's still a target then?" Tonks nodded her head sadly.

"She's not safe here." Mrs. Weasley's heart went out as she looked at the child. She wouldn't mind having another daughter.

"Let me see her," she whispered. Tonks put the crying child in Molly's arms. Leya continued her loud wails. Mrs. Weasley frowned and walked back and forth, trying to soothe the young child. She had 7 kids and was always able to calm them. Leya simply refused to calm down. Arthur took the girl from his wife's arms. Arthur was always good with children himself. He held the girl close and whispered calming words to her. Leya still cried.

"Maybe, she's hungry?"

Moody glanced around. "She's 6, not a baby. She would ask."

"But in nymphic years, she still is a baby. And 6 still makes her a young child." Arthur put the young girl in Moody's arms , but he couldn't seem to hold her properly.

"No, she's seen a horrifying scene."

 Tonks sighed. She lifted the crying child. Remus stood next to her. The crying child was looking at Remus. Remus looked at the child and immediately felt a love for her. It reminded him when Harry was first born. Tonks smiled. "You want to hold her?" Tonks laid the child in Remus' arms. Leya immediately stopped crying and looked at Remus with her adorable eyes. Everyone's eyes widened.

"R-Remus?" He looked over and quietly handed the child back to Molly. Leya immediately started crying again. Molly shook her head and put Leya in Remus's arms. Leya was quiet and had a smile pasted across her face.

"My word, Molly exclaimed." Remus was stroking Leya's hair. Fletcher took the child for a minute when Remus said he'd find food. Leya bawled.

Fletcher handed the child back to Remus. Leya giggled, her eyes looking into Remus's

"I think.. she likes you and is quite attached." Molly said, noting how Remus looked at Leya, filled with love. All of Remus' attention was on Leya.

"Remus?"

He looked up, Leya's eyes following his in curiosity.

"hmmm?"

"Why don't you adopt her?"

"I I'm a werewolf; how am I.." He looked lovingly at the girl.

"Doesn't matter; you know that. Anyway, it's obvious you love the young child and she won't go to anyone else."

Remus smiled as he stroked the girl's face.

"You've been meaning to adopt, anyways."

Remus smiled. "She's so precious."

Leya giggled. "I like you," she said. "Where Sahil?; he like you . Where am I?" Leya spoke in broken English.

Remus looked sadly at the girl. "Do you remember anything?"

Leya nodded quietly. "Little bit. Bad thing. True?" Remus nodded sadly.

Leya started to cry again. Remus held the girl close and slowly her cries died down.

"Where Mum?"

"We don't know."

"No mum, dad, Sahil?" Tears glistened in Leya's eyes.

"No, but," Remus said quietly. "I'm going to adopt you. I'll be your new daddy" Leya wrapped her arms around Remus, slowly falling into a slumber. Remus' heart went out to the girl. He looked at Tonks.

"Get me the papers. Do we know her name?"

"Leya Aletta Sharma. The council told Fletcher."

Remus nodded. "Leya Aletta Sharma-Lupin, then." He kissed the sleeping Leya's forehead. Quietly, he followed Tonks to the reception area, little Leya in his arms.

"Ms. Thomas?"

A young woman looked up, the desk in front of her piled high with papers.

"Nyphamdora, Tonks.." She smiled. "How many this time?" She sighed.

"10…" MS Thomas then saw Leya in Remus' arms. She looked questioningly at Tonks and Remus.

"The most recent. Princess. Child of Prophecy. In danger. Remus.."

"I want to adopt her, straight away," he cut in. Tonks and Ms. Thomas hid a smile.

"This is the child that wouldn't stop crying?" Ms. Thomas whispered to Tonks. Tonks nodded. Ms. Thomas smiled at Remus.

"Yes." She waved her wand and the cabinet behind her opened up as she searched for a file.

"Ah, here we go; the adoption papers for a Ms. Leya Sharma. She handed Remus the papers, with the quill. Remus adjusted Leya on his shoulder as he quickly filled out the form and signed it. Ms. Thomas quickly duplicated it three times, handing one copy to Remus, filing one away, and sealing one in an envelope to be sent off to the Ministry.

"There we go Remus. You have a daughter." Remus grinned.

"Thanks you Ms. Thomas: He kissed the sleeping Leya on the forehead. He turned to Tonks.

"If there is no more Order business, I'd like to take Leya home." Tonks shook her head.

"Alright then. You know how to reach me then." He held tightly onto Leya as he apparated outside his home. Slowly he opened the door and walked into his bedroom where he lay down the sleeping child. He smiled lovingly at Leya. He could hardly believe he had a daughter now. He kissed Leya quickly on the forehead and walked out, leaving the door slightly ajar while he fixed Leya something to eat. She would be hungry when she woke.
