Sirius Black had no clue what he was doing. It was one thing to look after his four year old energetic, prankster niece but it was another thing to look after her and his God-son/nephew at the same time. While his God-son was always very calm and quiet, his niece was not. Maddison Lyra Potter had inherited the mischievous Marauders streak and loved to cause chaos. So, while Sirius put Harry Potter down for a nap, his niece had free rain of the house and had enough time to cause as much chaos as she possibly can during this time. Biting his lip Sirius slowly made his way down the stairs and prayed that Maddison hadn't managed to destroy the living room of his twin sister and best friend's house.
Instead of utter chaos, Sirius found Maddison sound asleep on the sofa. Her curly dark-brown her was messily spread out across the sofa and her blood red lips were curled into a small smile. Sirius sighed with relief and stepped into the living room.
The moment he made his way through the door he tripped ove a piece of string which caused a bucket of green slime to fall from the door and pore sticky goo all over Sirius. At that moment Maddison jumped up from the couch and threw bright confetti towards him. Like magnets the confetti zoomed towards him and stuck to the slime but it wasn't over yet a second bucket containing red slime spilled over him after Sirius had tripped over another piece of string. Now covered in confetti, green and red slime, Sirius was sure it couldn't get any worse, but it did. From either side of the room two giant ripped pillows flew towards him and fully ripped covering him in white feathers.
Sirius turned towards his niece who was now innocently reading a picture book on the sofa with a serious expression. It honestly looked like she hasn't done anything.
At that moment the front door opened and Cassedopia and James Potter entered the house.
"Mummy, Daddy!" Maddison exclaimed happily. Cassedopia and James looked at Sirius and laughed
"What... the heck... happened... to you?" James asked between laughs.
"You laugh now but you didn't think it was very funny when Maddison tied you to a tree and sprayed water in your face." Sirius exclaims. Cassedopia continues laughing and then smiles
"You'd never do anything like that to your Mummy, would you?" she asks causing Maddison to shake her head.
"No!" she shouts giggling.
"Prongs, Cass, I'm sorry to cut my visit short but I have to go on a mission for the order" Sirius says apologetically.
"Of course, go on your mission." Cassedopia replies.
"Ok, Bye Maddison!" Maddison quickly hugs her Uncle and goes back to her book not knowing that this would be their last happy meeting for a long time.
Time skip to the next evening
The sun was slowly setting in the distance as, James Potter watched his daughter play with her brother Harry. Maddison was relatively tall for a newly turned four year old and had shoulder length dark-brown curly hair, pail skin and beautiful stormy grey eyes. His son on the other hand, was small for his age, had jet black hair and bright green emerald eyes. Suddenly, he heard his amazing, two month pregnant, wife say that it was time for dinner.
After dinner, James started making puffs of pink smoke come out of his wand, as the children watched in fascination. At that moment they heard the Gate creek. The temperature in the room dropped " It's him! Cass, take the children and run! I'll hold him off!" James shouted the panic clear in his voice.
Cassedopia grabbed the children and darted up the wooden stairs. At that moment the door blasted open and a hooded figure stood in the frame. It was Voldemort! James growled at him. Voldemort sneered and laughed a cold high pitch laugh as he shouted the words that would end the short life of James Fleamont Potter.
Meanwhile upstairs Cassedopia had put Harry into his crib after hiding her daughter in the broom cupboard next to them. Harry was crying histerically as Cassedopia frantically tried to sooth him. Voldemort was slowly making his way up the stairs and was about to make his way into the nursery when he heard shuffling coming from the broom cupboard. He blasted the door open and saw a little girl with dark-brown hair. Without a second thought he shouted "Avada Kadavra" and the girl's lifeless body tumbled to the ground. Or so he thought...
A few seconds after he had left Maddison's eyes darted open. She instantly sprinted towards her Father's body. A few seconds later she realised that he wasn't waking up and ran further down the stairs and out the back door that lead to a small forest. In the background she could hear her Mother's scream as she ran further into the forest.
Out of nowhere she heard a girly high pitch voice shout the words "petrificus totalus". Making her body become as stuff as a bord. She saw the pail woman come closer and pull out a long sharp knife. Giggling the crazy woman carved the Word BLOOD TRAITOR into her arm. Cassedopia wanted to scream but she couldn't.
Suddenly she hear footsteps and somebody shouted "Stubefy" causing the woman to topple of her. When the mysterious Man came closer she realised it was her Uncle, Sirius Black. Sirius picked the girl up and ran towards the Potter's cottage. Inside she once again saw her Father lying on the floor with his life-less eyes wide open.
Her Uncle stepped over him and walked up the stairs and into the nursery. Inside the nursery she saw her little brother crying in his crib and two body's lying infront of it. She recognised one of the as her Mother and the other as the man who had tried to kill her. What had happened?
The room shook as another person entered, he was very tall and has a bushy black beard. His voice was deep when he spoke. "So it's true they're dead. After all You know who has done he wasn' able to kill two little children!"
"What are you doing here Hagrid? " Her Uncle questioned the giant.
"Came to pick up the little ones." Hagrid explained
" What? No they should stay with me! I'm Harry's Godfather and their Uncle. " Sirius exclaimed through tears
"Sorry Sirius. Can't do that ye know Dumbledore 's orders." Sirius sighed
" Alright, but take my bike and tell Dumbledore I will be coming to get them both " Hagrid nodded and picked up Harry and Maddison quickly and left the room.
Hagrid put the children into the side car only now noticing the lightning shaped scars on Harry's fforehead and Maddison's wrist. He also notice the word BLOODTRAITOR on Maddison's other wrist. He quickly started the motor of the bike and flew over the town of Godric's Hollow.
On the street of Privet Drive Professor MacGonigal was talking to Dumbledore about what a terrible Idea it was to put the children with the Dursleys. When they heared the loud road of a motor. It was Hagrid with the Potter and Black children.
"Where did you get that Bike?" Dumbledore asked curiously
" Young Sirius Black lent it to me. He wanted me ta tell you he was coming for the little ones soon! " Hagrid responded. Dumbledore shook his head knowing that he could never let these innocant children leave with a murderer.
Meanwhile Professor MacGonigal was inspecting the children, she gasped when she found there scars on them.
"Is that where...?" She started asking only to be cut off by Dumbledore .
"Yes they will have those scars forever and the carving on Miss. Potter's wrist seems to be cursed which means we can not heal it. But scars can come in very handy I myself have one on my ankle that shows me the London Underground."
The other Professor nodded curtly before saying
"What about Miss Potter, she will remember everything and has already been very exposed to magic it will be rather difficult to take her away from it and you keep talking about wards yet neither of the children are related to the Dursleys which means blood wards won't work." Dumbledore thought for a second before responding
"That may be but you might remember Mrs. Potter started living with the Evanses after her sixth year, so all though they may not be blood, I have put up a family protection ward. I do suppose you are right about Miss Potter though. "
"I will take her to young Remus Lupin" Dumbledore decided calmly.
"Remus Lupin? That is a good idea!" Minevra MacGonnagall exclaimed
"Alas, I believe it will take a lot of convincing for the Minister to except this situation but I believe it will work out.."
"Because of his lycanthropy?" Minevra questions
"Precisely!" he exclaimed. With that he quickly apperated away with the sleeping girl.
He left her with a second letter and a heating charm on the doorstep of the Lupin home. Maddison slept soundly that night dreaming of pranks and her family. Not knowing that the next morning she would be woken up by the shocked shout of her God-father Remus Lupin...
