Into the Darkness

Chapter 1

Arabella Black sat in her living room rocking back and forth, back and forth with seven month old. Arabella smiled and couldn't believe that her baby girl was already seven months old, oh how they grew up so fast. Arabella remembered Lily crying about it on Harry and Susan's first birthday that her babies had grown up so fast. Now Arabella understood completely.

In the past seven months Roselyn had really grown up and it seemed to amaze Sirius and Arabella. Of course Sirius wasn't really around that much as he was Minister of Magic and with the war on Voldemort, Sirius was working double time.

Roselyn had a full head of black hair and she had brilliant green 'Evans' eyes. When Arabella looked into Roselyn's eyes she could have sworn she was looking into Lily's eyes and it made her smile.

There was a sound from the fireplace and Arabella smiled as she continued to rock Roselyn.

A red head with brilliant green eyes, a baby on her hip, and a diaper bag over her shoulder had just came from her little cottage in Hogsmede through the Floo Network.

"How's my favorite little cousin doing?" She asked cooing at the baby in Bella's arms.

"She's better, her little ear infection finally went away."

Susan nodded as she put down Breeanna's diaper bag, "That's good." Susan put down the five month old baby on the floor with toys and Arabella put Roselyn down next to Breeanna so they could play while aunt and niece talked.

"So how is Draco?"

"Busy," Susan sighed as she looked down at the babies. "He only has time to owl me on Sundays."

Arabella nodded, "Ginny said the same thing about Harry. You know Ron just went into boot camp for the Order."

"Really?" Susan asked pulling out a water bottle from Breeanna's diaper bag and began to drink from it. "I knew he'd been wanting to join but I wasn't sure whether or not Dumbledore would let him join. We both know how upset Ron was when he heard that Adora had joined and that Dumbledore had asked me to join and not him."

Bella nodded and then it looked as if a thought had come upon her face, "Why didn't you join?"

"I wanted to concentrate on Breeanna."

Bella nodded, "You know I'm in the Order and I can still take care of Roselyn."

"Yeah I know it's just…I don't want to…not yet at least. I just know what Sirius, Grandfather, Harry, and Draco go through and I'm afraid. And I know I'm being silly because you and mum joined and you guys were fine."

"Did you know that after your mum had you and Harry she backed away, and she quit her job."

"She did?"

Arabella nodded, "She only wanted to concentrate on raising the two of you. She figured she could always go back to St. Mungo's after the two of you went to Hogwarts."

"When's Ginny and Bridget suppose to show up?"

"About an hour. Adora's stopping by too."

"Does she have the time for it? I hear she's as busy as the guys are and she's not even on the field."

Bella nodded, "Yeah she's been very busy."

"Has she seen Ron?"

"Nope," Arabella said shaking her head. "Not in almost a month about a week after you guys went on vacation, Ron went straight to boot camp."

"When does he get out?"

"Two weeks and then two days later he is sent on his first mission."

There was a cry below from one of the babies and it ended up being Breeanna, she needed a diaper change so Susan got right on that.

"How's the house?"

"It's nice," Susan said smiling.

"It's three bedroom, two baths, a living room, dining room, and kitchen."

"When does Draco get back in?"

"Tomorrow."

"Harry too, for you guys seventeenth birthday."

Susan nodded, "Ginny's got to be excited, yeah?"

"I suppose."

In Voldemort's Lair…

Autumn Lewis sat on the bed of her room at her mother and father's house. She had to live here now because of the threat on her head and her baby's head. Desdemona was on the floor on her back kicking around and gurgling. Autumn's baby was now five months and Crabbe had really helped her out while he was on vacation…well that was when he wasn't busy with Death Eater activities.

Vincent had moved in with her this summer and both of their families were ecstatic.

Autumn looked down at Desi and wished that Draco could be a part of her life but she knew it would never happen. Never over her father's body. Draco deserved to see his daughter and her daughter deserved to know her biological father. Vincent was a great father like figure for Desi, but Autumn guessed it just was her parental instinct in her that knew that Draco should be a part in Desi's life.

"Autumn, Autumn?" Autumn looked up to see her boyfriend in black robes and his Death Eater mask in his hand.

"What are you doing here?" Autumn asked sitting up and still in her pajamas, Vincent placed his mask on her bed and bent down to pick Desi off the floor.

"I thought you'd be happy to see me."

"I am, you just startled me. I mean I didn't even hear you come in."

"Deep thoughts," Vincent Crabbe nodded at his girlfriend and then looked at Desi. "Why was she on the floor?"

"I had her laying on a blanket," Autumn said shrugging.

"You can't do these kind of things, she's a baby! Merlin's sake, you're her mother!"

Autumn jumped off the bed and started him in the eye, "Don't you think I know this! Do you think I want to be a single mom at seventeen! Hell I had her when I was bloody sixteen years old! I want to be a normal teenager."

Crabbe shoved Desdemona into her mother's arms, "Too bad. You slept with him unprotected and here months later is the product of it."

"You're still jealous that she's not yours!" Autumn screamed and him and Desi began to cry in which Autumn ignored. "I don't know what to do! I'm only seventeen."

Sharon ran in and took Desi from her mother and walked out of the room without scolding Autumn.

"Why are you looking at me like that?!" Autumn screamed at her boyfriend, "The nanny isn't here."

"You don't know what to do because since she was born all you do is give her to your mum or her nanny. She barely knows who you are!"

"Get out! I hate you! Leave me alone! Go!"

"You just wish Draco was here instead of me, you want him to raise her. You thought she'd bring him back, you just want to use her and since she's not working for you…you don't want her anymore!"

"LEAVE!"

Crabbe got in her face, "I'll leave but you're not kicking me out of her life. Even though I am not her father, I'm the only one she knows!" Crabbe stormed out of the room and Autumn threw herself on her bed dramatically.

Back at the Black Mansion…

"AAAAHHHH!" Ginny screamed falling with a crash from the fireplace, "I swear I hate Floo Powder!" Ginny yelled getting up from the floor and brushing the soot off of herself. "I can't wait until I am old enough to apparate!" Susan and Arabella chuckled at Ginny and a few seconds later Bridget was in the fireplace, she too had used Floo Powder…except she excelled in it with grace.

"Show off," Ginny grumbled.

Bridget chuckled, "I guess you fell on your bum again? Can't Floo and an attitude, no wonder you're the right one for Harry."

Ginny stuck her tongue out maturely and the other three rolled their eyes in amusement.

"So what will it be this year?" Arabella asked turning to Susan.

"What do you mean?"

"What will we do this year to celebrate Harry and your seventeenth birthday?"

"I have no clue," Susan said shrugging and the other three chuckled at them.

"When do Harry, Draco, Ron, and Adora get back?"

"Lucky you asked that," Sirius said walking into the room leaning down to kiss his wife hello.

"You know?" Susan asked picking up Breeanna to rock her a bit to settle her, she was being a bit cranky.

Sirius nodded, "Of course I would know." Sirius said looking at his niece oddly, "Why wouldn't I know?"

"Because the Order isn't part of the Ministry."

"Didn't Draco tell you?" Susan shook her head no.

"I got it passed that the Order is a secret part of the Ministry, but only Order members know about it. We've got a hidden passageway that only members can get in and see."

"Neat," Susan said making funny faces at Breeanna and Roselyn began to get fussy because her friend wasn't playing with her anymore.

"So I heard you were asked to join," Sirius said sitting down ready to drill his niece.

"Yeah, so?" Susan said shrugging her shoulders while she fed the baby her bottle.

"Why didn't you join?"

"Breeanna."

"What about Breeanna."

"I don't want her to lose another parent."

"You're not her parent."

"I MIGHT AS WELL BE! Her mother is dead, her father is dead, her brother is putting his life on the line everyday, and I don't want her to lose another parent! We're her legal guardian, so you might as well call us her damned parents!" Susan said marching up the stairs with Bree in her arms.

"You shouldn't have done that," Arabella said rocking in her chair with Roselyn cooing and staring up at her father.

"And why not?! Everyone in her family has joined in The Order, why the hell shouldn't she?!"

"She's doing the same thing Lily did, except Lily wasn't married and responsible for a baby at sixteen almost seventeen years old." Bella said rocking in her chair keeping her voice down because of Roselyn.

"What are you talking about? Lily fought throughout the whole war, until she died…right beside James."

"How thick are you? As soon as she had Harry and Susan she wasn't as much involved as before, as soon as Lily found out she was pregnant she told Dumbledore her missions needed to be simpler. From the time Lily was three months pregnant she just did paper work, she did that until the day she died."

"How come I don't remember that?"

"You were always out on mission with James, and now I suggest you go upstairs and find her and apologize."

Two days before July 31st, Susan heard racket downstairs and she ran to Breeanna's room with her wand. The door opened and Susan calmed down to see that it was Draco.

"Why are you in here in a corner with Breeanna."

"I thought you were a Death Eater coming to attack in the wee hours of the morning."

"Why would you think that?" He asked walking over to his wife and gave her a light kiss on the lips and kissed Breeanna on the head.

"You weren't suppose to be in until tomorrow night."

"Oh yeah, we got done with our mission early and so Dumbledore told us to come home."

"Does that mean Adora and Harry are back too?"

"Adora always comes home, she doesn't do field work like the rest of us. But yeah, Harry's back home. He told me to tell you he was stopping by Bella's house and then he was going to spend the day with Susan. Have you figured out what their doing for your birthday yet?"

Susan shook her head as she walked over to the changing table to change Breeanna's diaper, "Nope their being way to secretive."

"What about your using your powers?"

"Nope their all blocking me out so I have no clue," she said shrugging.

"Let's go get some breakfast this morning."

"I can cook," Susan said now dressing Breeanna up in a pink outfit.

"I don't want you too, I'd like to go get some breakfast and spend time with you without you slaving over a stove."

"Fine," Susan said cooing at the baby and the baby began to babble back at Susan.

"She's talking?!" Draco said as his eyes almost popped out of his head.

"She's been talking," Susan said nodding carrying Breeanna into her room so Susan could get dressed. "She's been talking baby talk."

"When did this start?"

"A few weeks after you left."

"Oh," Draco said sadly. "I'm missing everything, and I bet she doesn't even know me." Susan rolled her eyes and handed Bree to Draco. The baby began to coo and babble happily.

"See she loves you." Susan getting out of her pajamas and getting into a lilac summer dress. While Susan was standing there in her undergarments unzipping her dress so she could slip it on Draco spoke up.

"Merlin you're beautiful."

Susan blushed and kissed her husband after she was dressed.

"Too bad the baby is already up, I'm ready for some Mummy/Daddy time," Draco said raising his eyebrows at him and she just rolled her eyes.

"Is that what your wearing?" Susan said frowning at her husband.

"What's wrong with what I'm wearing?"

"It's all black," Susan said frowning.

"So? I like all black."

"That's right your childhood was horrible, but that's okay Breeanna will have the best childhood ever!" She said cooing at the baby and spinning Bree around and around. The baby cooing and gurgling.

"Merlin, your beautiful with her." Draco said laying back on the bed staring at his little sister and beautiful wife. "When do you think we should give her a playmate?"

Susan blushed as red as her hair, "Not for a few years at least. Besides she's got Roselyn to play with anytime. I don't want to have a baby until Bree is a little bit older and I'd like to graduate from Hogwarts before we think of raising another baby."

Draco nodded and Susan went on, "What is she going to call us? We don't even call her ours."

"Well she is, and we need to call her our daughter. Most people think that's the reason we got married, we don't want anyone to know that she's the daughter of my father. I'm her father and you're her mother. When she's old enough we'll tell her." Draco said wrapping his arms around his young family.

"Before she goes to Hogwarts," Susan said looking into Draco's eyes.

"That's a little soon."

"Someone's parents are going to tell them who's her actual parents and I'd rather it be us."

"Agreed, we'll tell her before she attends Hogwarts. Now let's get some breakfast."

The Burrow…

"Ginny!" Molly Weasley yelled from the kitchen, "Ginny! Could you come down here!"

"Yeah just a moment, mum!" Ginny yelled out of her bedroom as she slipped on some shorts and a navy blue spaghetti strap shirt. Ginny slipped on some sandals and ran down the stairs but her eyes got big when she spotted the guest in the kitchen.

"HARRY!" She yelled and hugged her boyfriend as close as she could.

"Miss me?" He whispered into her hair.

"Like you wouldn't believe," Ginny said staring into his brilliant green eyes.

"Let's go out to eat."

"Now?"

"No tonight, and dress up…we're going somewhere fancy."

"Harry you don't…"

"I know I don't have to I want to."

"Ginny!" Came Bridget's voice from downstairs, "Is that Harry?"

"Yeah!"

"Can you come up here and help me right quick?"

"Sure!" Ginny yelled back and then turned aback to her boyfriend, "Don't you move a muscle."

"I wouldn't leave for the world." Ginny headed up the stairs and Harry turned to Molly smiling.

"Tonight?" Molly asked smiling at Harry knowingly.

Harry nodded, "Step one tonight. Step two September 1st, and hopefully step three during the Christmas Holidays?"

Molly smiled and nodded knowingly, "She'll love it. We all will! You two need one another."

"Will you tell her I'll be right back? I need to stop by Bella's." Molly nodded and Harry Flooed to his aunt's house.

"What are you doing back so early Harry?" Arabella asked feeding Roselyn some baby food in the kitchen.

"I need to run up to my room and pick it up."

Arabella smiled knowingly at her nephew, "Tonight?"

Harry nodded, "Second part on September 1st and hopefully the third and final during the Christmas holidays."

Bella smiled and let Harry run upstairs.

Back at The Burrow…

"Mum, where's Harry? He said he wouldn't leave."

"He had to run back to Arabella's, he forgot to tell her something."

"Oh alright." Ginny sighed sadly, "Yell at me when he gets back." Ginny said marching up to her room to hang out with Bridget a bit more.

Ginny got back to her room to see Bridget packing her bags, "Where you going?" Ginny said staring at her best friend from the door frame.

"Back home." Bridget said with a shrug.

"Okay, why are you going back home?"

"Isn't it obvious? Now that my brother is back in town the two of you will be inseparable and I'll just be a third wheel. Whenever Harry's busy just owl me and we'll do something."

"Bridget," Ginny said chuckling at Bridget's 'Potter Anger.' "We're still going to hang out, it's just that Harry wants to take me out for a nice romantic dinner tonight. I only saw him one day after we got home for vacation. You understand right? I mean Oliver is part of The Order too."

"What does Oliver have to do with this?"

"You guys are dating right?"

Bridget shook her head, "No he doesn't see me like that."

"Are you kidding me?" Ginny said rolling her eyes.

"What? It's true, he only thinks of me as a little kid, we're only friends. I like it that way."

"Why don't you owl Oliver and see if he wants to go to Diagon Alley to have some ice-cream?"

Bridget nodded, "Yeah. We haven't hung out much this summer he's been so busy with work and The Order. Give me an owl and we'll hang out this weekend, okay?" Ginny nodded and Bridget Flooed back home with her stuff from Ginny's room.

Bridget sat at her desk in her room and dipped her quill into some lilac ink. She pit on the tip of the quill as she stalled trying to think what to write. "Just get it over with Bridget." She said talking to herself and rolled her eyes at herself.

Dear Oliver,

I know we haven't talked much since I got back from Hogwarts. I know you've been busy with your job and with The Order. I was wondering if you'd want to get some ice cream in Diagon Alley one day soon? You know catch up on times since we haven't seen one another in a while, just owl me as soon as you can and when you have a day off.

Sincerely,

Bridget

Bridget sent her letter off with Charlotte, her owl she'd gotten for her birthday last year. Bridget decided she'd go take a long, hot bubble bath in their pool like bathtub. An hour later Bridget walked into her room with her pink bathrobe, and hair rapped up in a towel. Charlotte was back and Bridget was surprised that Oliver had written back so quickly.

Dear Bridget,

It's great to hear from you, I figured you'd forgotten about me. Yes, I have been really busy at work and with The Order. But never too busy to hang out a bit with you. I can meet you at the Leaky Cauldron at five o'clock other than that I won't be free until next week. Hope to see you at five.

Always,

Oliver

Bridget looked at the clock beside her bed and her eyes bugged out, it was five minutes to five! She had to find a suitable outfit, dry her hair, apply make up on, and still Floo to the Leaky Cauldron. Bridget ran to the living room where Arabella was so Arabella could charm Bridget's hair dry and make up on. Bridget slipped on a midnight blue v-cut blouse with a black tiller skirt, black strappy heels and a small black hand bag.

"How do I look?" Bridget asked walking back into the family room.

"Beautiful," Arabella said as she was for once baby free. Sirius had taken baby duty as he was usually always working. "You might want to leave soon before Sirius gets back and sees you dressed like that."

"What's wrong with the way I'm dressed?"

"You look like a woman," Arabella said grinning. "Are you meeting Oliver?"

Bridget nodded and Flooed go The Leaky Cauldron before her Uncle got home.
