Perviously:
"S..She is..was..my daughter." Harry said quietly. Turning away from the adults as their faces turned sheet white.
"WHAT!" Sirius screeched. Harry winced visibly, as if he had been slapped.
"YOU HAD A DAUGHTER! HARRY YOUR FIFTEEN FUCKIN' YEARS OLD!" Sirius hollered at the young teen. Hary flinching at every word. "She looks at least five HARRY! You were ten when you had a daughter! WHAT WERE YOU THINKING!" Sirius continued roaring at Harry. Ignoring his godson's reaction to the verbal beating.
"Not exactly. She was about three in that picture. That was two days before...her death." He answered quietly. "Before you go off again. Let me explain. In the Elven world all children mature quickly until they reach five. Mayra in our time was about seven months old. But in the Elven world she was almost four. Her birthday is in three days." Harry said. Still not looking at them.
"That makes her birthday October 1, 2001." Remus said doing the math quickly in his head.
Harry nodded quietly. "Yeah. She would have been eight months in our time. Four years old in the Elven worlds."Harry said quietly looking at Srius and Remus for the first time. His face was a stone except for the utter paleness. His eyes betrayed his emotions though, just by looking at his eyes you could tell that Harry was hurting every second he talked about his daughter.
"How did she die?" Remus asked. Not trusting Sirius to ask the question. His friend was still slightly seething.
"Nobody knows." Harry answered. Gulping and squeazing his eyes tight. Taking a deep breath He gathered his feelings and continued. "She was walking with me in the gardens. She loved it there. That was were we buried her coffin. We didn't have a body. Somebody called my name and I turned around to answer them. They were asking about how I was doing. When I turned back around Mayra was gone. I only turned for a few seconds." Harry said. As if pleading his case. His eyes allowing two tears to shed before they turned stoney too. "We searched for three months. We gave up when I found her locket. I gave it to her for a present. It could never be removed unless she was dead. I made sure of it. It was a protection locket. All she had to do was call my name while wearing it and I would be there in a flash. She never called for me." Harry stated.
"I'm sorry. I really am. I shouldn't have fired off at you like that." Sirius said coming from behind Harry and crouching down so he was the same height of Harry who had taken a seat in one of the chairs.
Harry snorted. "Not your fault." He mumbled as a knock on the door entered the silence. "Enter." Hary said. His voice breaking.
Emily stuck her head in the door. "Dinner. Harry whats wrong?" She asked seeing his face. "I told them about Mayra." He said simply.
"Oh." Was all Emily said. Looking at the picture of Mayra. Then Sirius asked a brave question.
"What was Mayra's full name?"
"Maranda Lilly Elizabeth Turner-Potter" Harry answered easily. Not caring if they knew who the mother was.
Sirius's and Remus's eyes widened. "You mean. You were her mom?" Remus asked aghast.
"Yes. Elizabeth is my middle name and Lilly was Hary's mothers name as you well know." She answered tightly. "Dinner is getting cold. Let's go." Emily said. Leading Sirius and Remus out of the room. "Harry you coming?" She asked.
"No. I think I'll stay here for a while." He answered. Turning his back to her and focusing on the pedastool on front of him. He began drawing as Emily nodded her head and closed the door quietly. Leaving Hary to get lost in his drawnings.
"I am sorry Emily." Remus said sincerly.
"Thank you. Lets eat." She said tring to brighten the mood. Leading them into the dining room where everybody was already sitting and eating. An hour later Everybody left. Sirius and Remus tried to say good-bye to Harry but he was to consumed in his latest drawning.
Two hours later It was time for bed. Emily walked into the studio with Jeremy, Alex, and Evelyn following. What she saw made her smile. Harry was asleep in his chair. Black smudges covered his face and hands from the charcoal pencil he had used. As Jeremy levitated him to his room Emily looked at his latest creation. She was shocked.
It was a drawning of her and Harry. Again he captured her more beautiful than she thought she was. And again he didn't do himself any justice. But looking in front of them was a little girl. She looked about seven. She had golden brownish hair that reached the small of her back. It was pulled into pigtail braids. She had peircing green eyes. And a smile that would lite up the deepest parts of the world. Emily gasped as she realized who it was. It was her daughter Mayra. And she looked exactly like Emily. Harry had drawn them as a family. Tears sprang to her eyes when she realized this would never happen. This picture would never be real.
"Let's go Em." Evelyn said softly. Knowing very well that she was crying about Harry's picture. Gently guiding her away from the captivating eyes of her deceased daughter.
MORNING
Harry woke up groggily. His head wasn't pounding this time and his wrist was alot less tender. Last nights events were thundering back to him. Sirius and Remus knew his secret. Groaning Harry checked his watch. It was time to get ready for school. Pushing the covers off his body, he stood up and went to the bathroom to take a quick shower. Relaxing as the hot water ran over his cold body. Soothing his tense muclses.
All around the Carriage the kids wre getting ready. Taking showers, brushing their teeth, brushing their hair, and dabbing on make-up in the girls's casses.
When all five kids entered the rec room they were prepared for thier first day at a real school. Together they walked to the Great hall. When they reached the entrance doors Harry's hand found Emily's at the same time that Evelyn's found Jeremy's. Giving her hand a comforting squeze they opened the doors. Feeling a severe case of daja-vu as the hall went silent. For the second time that week.
