Merry apperated to Hogsmeade, while holding two children. A 4 year old girl, and a 1 year old boy. Merry placed the girl on the floor.
The little girl, who had dark locks of hair and light blue eyes and glasses, stared at the village. She pulled on Merry's pant leg, making her mother look at her.
"It's sooo big Mummy!" she gasped, making Merry smile and laugh softly.
"I know. But wait until we get to Hogwarts. That's even bigger." Merry told her.
"Good. The bigger the better." She exclaimed.
"Why is that, my little Sandra?" Merry asked, taking Sandra's hand.
"Mummy! I'm 4 years old! I need to be in big places because I'm always curious." She told her mother.
They walked and passed the Three Broomsticks. Finally she saw Albus, and Remus Lupin, Sirius Black, and Severus Snape were with him.
"Why, what an adorable little girl." Albus said, making Sandra frown.
"I'm not little! I'm 4!" she said trying to defend her dignity.
Severus rose his eyebrow, and Sandra saw this and looked at him.
"I have my self respect you know!" she commented.
They all stared at her, well, except for Merry who was caring for the little bundle in her arms. Merry looked at Sandra, who was staring at everyone else.
"Sandra, stop staring." Merry told her daughter.
"They're staring as well, so that makes it worse Mummy." Sandra mumbled, still staring. She hadn't yet to blink though.
"You can at least blink before your eyes turn red and tear up." Merry said. She seemed to notice this as well.
Sandra nodded at her mother's request yet did not blink as her mother told her to.
Merry realized she wasn't really staring at them, but she was really staring into space and falling into a trance. That was proved when Sandra's eyes closed and fell against Merry's legs. Merry looked at the others, except Severus, who looked worried.
"Don't worry. That happens sometimes. She'll be out for the rest of the night." Merry said, picking Sandra with her right arm, while trying to keep hold of the bundle in her left arm. Luckily Sandra was so light.
"Do you need help?" Sirius offered.
"No. It's alright. She's just like a rag doll right now, so I have no problem holding her." Merry told him.
They got into a carriage and rode up to Hogwarts.
"You've never been to Hogwarts, have you?" Remus asked.
"No. I'm afraid that in my situation I had to be home taught, because a Death Eater couldn't find out that I had been born." Merry said sadly. "Although I believe it would be enough to quirk and feed Sandra's curiosity." She smiled, thinking about what she said earlier.
"She can't just run around the castle come September-" Severus began to say.
"No, she can't. Trust me, Sandra knows that." Merry fought down a smile. "But, if you sit her down in front of a wall, hours later you'll find out that she's still staring at the wall. So she'll be able to occupy herself." She told him.
"I hope all children aren't this weird." Severus mumbled.
"No, not all children are this weird. Sandra just gets bored a lot, and one day she sat in front of a wall and tried to remember all the details, which was a lot seeing as the wall was colored in many different colors." Merry said, laughing softly at her daughter's innocent activity.
The rest of the ride was spent in a comfortable silence.
When they got to the castle Severus showed her to her(and her kids') chambers and she retired for the night, after placing her kids in beds, which were already set up for her small family.
Thanks to all of you who have reviewed. Just so you know, I won't continue until I have 10 reviews. Sorry to be rude, but I've been busy with my family and if I have reviews I at least know someone is reading this.
