Remus John Lupin's life was always difficult. Being a wearwolf doesn't help one bit. One of the happiest times of his miserable life was at Hogwarts with his bestfriends - The Marauder's. After school everything went haywire. He lost three bestfriends, One was tortured to insanity and one is in prison with treason. His only elixir was his goddaughter Natalie Lily Potter. She was his angel. The pair shared a very deep bond hence the reason why she calls him 'papa'. The girl was just like her parents, a perfect blend of James and Lily. She was very mischievous ,bubbly like her father (who considered his greatest dishonor to mistrust his friends ) as well as very kind and understanding like her mother. Natalie was one Fierce Flower . But bringing up a girl with extraordinary powers was difficult. The girl was suffering because of her powers. Sometimes the pain she goes through having the powers in action, he wondered what would have been the situation if she was ordinary witch. Natalie already memories of her past haunting her, the horrors are far too much for a little girl to handle but those just made Natalie stronger. Remus was constantly surprised by his little bundle joy.

Right now, he was engaging himself in a very important conversation with Andromeda and Ted Tonks while the children were upstairs. They were talking in hushed whispers because children tends to eavesdrop. Its obvious. But Remus wanted answers.
"Dumbledore said he wanted know the progress of Catherine's powers the day the You-know-who disappeared. We have been sending him reports obviously. Did he say anything as such for Natalie" Ted Tonks told him.
"No. I don't think he knows of Natalie's powers. Did he say anything regarding Catherine's powers?" Remus asked the man.
"He asked us to keep him updated if she unlocks any new powers" Andromeda told the man.
"And did Dumbledore tell you how many such powers can one unlock?" Remus asked them.
The couple just a small 'No' for his questions. They were wondering the same thing from the looks of it. Why didn't Dumbledore ask Remus to send updates?
"So Catherine has been like this the day she was born?" Remus asked the couple. At his question the pair shifted uncomfortably and avoided his eyes. "I'm sorry if I made you uncomfortable. My bad" Remus apologized quickly. "You don't have to answer all my questions. It's just I was curious. Sorry".
"No it's okay. I don't know how to tell you this. I thought Dumbledore would have told you seeing that you're Natalie's guardian" Ted started.

Natalie was beyond excited to have Catherine and Nymphadora over. The only girl friend she had was Ginny who was three years younger than her. So meeting someone her age thrilled her. Cat's sister Dora was amazing too. She was a Hufflepuff in Charlie's year. So yes , the girl knew her fellow Gryffindor. Nymphadora shared her own experiences at Hogwarts. Obviously she didn't tell how students get sorted just like Remus didn't tell her. According to them sorting was a experience that shouldn't be explained but felt. Sigh. Speaking of Hogwarts ,she needed to buy her supplies and she was scared of her sorting. What if she was in Slytherin? What then? Would her Godfather detest her? What would the Weasley's say? Would the people she has the closest to a family Hate her? Would she become evil?
"You know dad told me whatever house you are in. Make sure to be happy and stand-out." Cat told her.
"Even if it's Slytherin?" Nat asked her.
"What's wrong with Slytherin? Mom was a Slytherin! " The sister's told her.
"Your mother was in Slytherin?" She asked them surprised . Her entire life Fred and George brainwashed her saying Slytherin has all evil people. Boy were they wrong!.
"Woah. Okay now I was being stereo-typical person!" She said laughing at her herself. Hearing that Mrs. Tonks was a Slytherin calmed her nerves almost. Now Slytherin didn't sound too bad although she wanted to get into Gryffindor like her parents and papa.
Suddenly a knock was heard and the adults walked into the room smiling. "Time to go kids!" Ted Tonks told his daughters.
"Thanks for having us over Remus! Please allow Natalie to visit before Hogwarts if you don't mind. I'm sure the girls would be thrilled." Andromeda told him. Hearing her , Nat gave a huge grin and hugged Catherine and Dora.
"Until next time Nat"
"See you soon Cat"

It was August already and Natalie still has her school supplies to be brought. The past two moths she's been going back and forth between the Tonks's and the Weasley's. This gave Cat and Nat (as weird as it sounds, its what everyone calls them now) time to bond. They became pretty close and she couldn't wait to take her to Weasley's. Nat has been talking non-stop about the family of Redheads and hearing her stories Cat was dying to meet them as well.
Finally after two weeks the two girls were to join the Weasley's for school shopping. Dora couldn't join because she fell sick. The day was buzz. Remus was out working and Nat was getting dressed while waiting for Cat to join her. After a couple of minutes Cat walked out of the fireplace and brushed herself. She had decided to wear a simple pink top and white shorts with sneakers and her up in a ponytail. Nat decided to wear a simple Tee and jeans with shoes. With that the pair was ready to go to the Burrow.
Molly had them ushered to the kitchen once they arrived to fill them with breakfast before leaving. "Hello Nat darling! And you must be Catherine Tonks. I knew your father back in school and Nat has told us a lot about you!" Molly greeted them first and pulled Cat into her famous Mamma-bear hugs. Blushingly the girls walked to the kitchen with Molly leading them.
'Warned you about the hugs!' Nat told her telepathically.
'Yeah should have taken it seriously' Cat told her back.
Giggling she went in to hug the rest of the Weasley's and introduced Cat to them. Cat had never seen such a huge family but she was instantly welcomed with open arms and she felt at home. The Red haired family was so warm and loving, No wonder Nat loves them to bits.
'How are you feeling?' Nat asked her.
'Exactly at home'.

After breakfast was finished Molly said "Alright lets see what all you lot need to buy! Fred and George can take Bill's and Percy's old robes because Charlie's would be too big for you. And we'll see with the books".
The Weasley's were indeed short of money and Nat always felt guilty because they were her family and she sometimes felt she was burden because that's an extra stomach to feed. Obviously she has the gold her parents left her, but no matter what she did or said the Weasley's wouldn't take some of it. She had obviously slipped in a few coins here and there before Bill, Charlie or Percy left for school or in Arthur's purse before he left for work. But it still didn't help her conscience.
Right so, inside her Hogwarts letter was another list with the supplies.

"Okay everyone. Grab a handful of Floo Powder and Diagon Alley very clearly ok?" Arthur told them.
"Bill go on." Molly told him. Bill the stepped into the fireplace and said "Diagon Alley" and threw the powder down. He was suddenly engulfed by bright green flames and disappeared. Charlie was next followed by Ron, then Cat , and then George. Fred gave Nat a swift wink before disappearing as well. She blushed as that but then quickly got into the fireplace and yelled "DIAGON ALLEY!"

She was greeted by the familiar noises of the Leaky Cauldron as well the smiling faces of the twins. Those grins meant one thing. Trouble.
She was soon joined by Arthur and Molly. The lot first went to Gringotts. It is a snowy-white building which towered over the other little shops. Standing beside its burnished bronze doors, wearing a uniform of scarlet and gold, was a goblin . The goblin was about a head shorter than Nat . He had a swarthy, clever face, a pointed beard and very long fingers and feet. He bowed as they walked inside. Now they were facing a second pair of doors, silver this time, with words engraved upon them:

Enter, stranger,
but take heed Of what awaits the sin of greed,
For those who take,
but do not earn,
Must pay most dearly in their turn,
So if you seek beneath our floors
A treasure that was never yours,
Thief, you have been warned,
beware Of finding more than treasure there.

A pair of goblins bowed them through the silver doors and they were in a vast marble hall. About a hundred more goblins were sitting on high stools behind a long counter, scribbling in large ledgers, weighing coins on brass scales, examining precious stones through eyeglasses. There were too many doors to count leading off the hall, and yet more goblins were showing people in and out of these. 'Morning,' said Arthur to a free goblin. 'We've come to take some money out Mr Arthur Weasley's , Miss. Catherine Tonks and Ms. Natalie Lily Potter's safes.'
Hearing her name many of the heads of the Goblins were lifted and was being stared at by the lot of them. The goblin whom Mr. Weasley had addressed was in shock for a few minutes as well. But when Arthur cleared his throat the Goblin snapped back to reality and said 'You have their keys, sir?' the lot nodded their heads and the Goblin called out to another goblin whose name was Griphook.
Griphook held the door open for them. They were in a narrow stone passageway lit with flaming torches. It sloped steeply downwards and there were little railway tracks on the floor. Griphook whistled and a small cart came hurtling up the tracks towards them. Molly, Arthur, Cat and Nat climbed into the cart . At first they just hurtled through a maze of twisting passages. Cat and Nat tried to remember, left, right, right, left, middle fork, right, left, but it was impossible. The rattling cart seemed to know its own way, because Griphook wasn't steering. Their eyes stung as the cold air rushed past them, but they kept them wide open. Once a while they saw a burst of fire at the end of a passage and twisted around to see if it was a dragon, but too late – they plunged even deeper, passing an underground lake where huge stalactites and stalagmites grew from the ceiling and floor.
'I think I'm gonna be sick.' Cat thought she did look very green and when the cart stopped at last beside a small door in the passage wall, Cat got out and had to lean against the wall to stop her knees trembling. Griphook unlocked the door. A lot of green smoke came billowing out, and as it cleared. Inside were mounds of gold coins. Columns of silver. Heaps of little bronze Knuts. - They had reached the vault of the Potters. Nat tried to hide it from Molly and Arthur but hiding a vault of gold with a eleven year old girl's figure was stupid. So she did the only think she could do at that time. Grab a handful of coins quickly and leave.
After taking her money, they got into the cart again and once again they were plunged into the maze of passageways. 'Remind me to eat a light breakfast before coming to Gringotts ' Nat told Cat. She didn't know if Cat actually laughed or was it just the cart. And soon they were at Weasley's vault. For second time they got to breathe normally only to be plunged again. "That was to fast" Cat told her.
They finally reached the last location for Cat to collect her money. And they had to go all the way in the cart back to the entrance. Nat swore she saw half of the galaxy inside her head. "Am I the only one seeing stars I didn't even know existed?" Cat told her. Nat laughed at that comment but didn't reply because her head was spinning.
After that hell of a roller-coaster ride they were greeted by the rest of them. Cat looked green and Nat still seeing the galaxy. "You alright the dears?" Molly asked them. They just nodded and looked at each other and said 'Atleast that is over'.
"Anyways Molly. Cat and I need to get the robes. We'll just stop at Madam Malkin's and we'll join you in Flourish and Blotts ok?" Nat told Molly. "Okay dearie. Don't get lost!" Molly told her in a motherly tone. With that the pair of them walked to Madam Malkin's to get school robes.
.They walked into the shop. Madam Malkin was a squat, smiling witch dressed all in mauve. 'Hogwarts, dears?' she asked them Both of them gave a nod. "Along here dearies. I'll be back. I have to finish with this young man and lady." she told them gesturing a boy and girl who looked their age. The pair of them smiled them. The boy was dark toned with deadlock and brown eyes. He gave them a grin and introduced himself as Lee Jordan. Nat swore she saw Cat blushed. "Looking cute isn't he?" she asked her with a small smirk. She got a 'Shut up' glare in return.
"Hi I'm Catherine Tonks and this is my friend Natalie Pot.. er.. Evans" Cat told him changing Nat's surname because she was tired of people's reaction. Its better if people knew her once she was in school and since she told her mother's maiden name the pair decided to use it.
"First years?" Lee asked looking at them. They gave him a nod.
"Tonks? Evans? Are you both mud...er..muggle-borns?" the girl asked them with disgust clear in her face . Nat gave the girl a closer look. She had brown locks with steel-grey eyes. "No" Both of them said simultaneously. Nat saw Lee gave a girl a cold glare and rolled his eyes.
"I'm Evelyn Carrow , first year as well " the girl introduced herself. Oh great! An obsessed pure-blood. Cat and Nat exchanged glances.
'Crazy much!' Nat told her
'You said it girl! We need to watch out for that one!' Cat replied
'You mean make the life of this pure-blood obsessed maniac hell?'
'Girl, where have you been my entire life?' Cat told her laughing.
'Oh you know. The Burrow and Lupin Residence.' Nat replied.
At that comment Cat face-palmed herself.
"Why are you guys looking each other like that? It's like you can read each other's minds or rather expression" Lee told them laughing slightly. At that comment the pair of them just smirked at each other . "Something like that" Cat told him.
"You both are done. Now your turn dear!" Madam Malkin told Nat after finishing with Lee and Evelyn. "See yah at Hogwarts!" Lee told them cheerfully while Evelyn just gave them a nod.
"Girl you didn't even start Hogwarts and you're already smitten over Mr. Jordan" Nat teased Cat.
"Oh shut up. You're the one to talk. Might I remind you of a certain Mr. Weasley who has a twin " Cat retorted back with a triumphant smirk. Nat turned beetroot red and huffed.
"Skirts or Pants dear?" Madam Malkin asked her .
"Pants please." she replied, growing up with the Weasley meaning having five brothers (Fred excluded) means she was a perfect tomboy. She measured the girl and finally waved her wand and she saw four sets of brand new robes. And within a few minute Cat got a new set of robes too. They paid and left the shops to go to get their schoolbooks. They stopped to buy quills , parchments and ink in between.
They met with the Weasley's and went inside Flourish and Boltts. "The Dark Forces: A beginners Guide to Self-Protection by Agatha Tremblein. Really. Seems like we've got a new DADA teacher" Cat told Nat. "What happened to the last one?" Nat asked. "I don't know. Dora told me the job is jinxed. A new DADA teacher every year.". "Wow!" was all Nat could say.
They got the required textbooks and had to run off again get a set of scales for weighing potion ingredients and a collapsible brass telescope. Then they visited the apothecary's, which was fascinating enough to make up for its horrible smell, a mixture of bad eggs and rotted cabbages. Barrels of slimy stuff stood on the floor, jars of herbs, dried roots and bright powders lined the walls, bundles of feathers, strings of fangs and snarled claws hung from the ceiling. Nat asked the man behind the counter for a supply of some basic potion ingredients for them .
All they had to buy were wands. The twins needed new wands too because when they used Charlie's old ,lets just say thank merlin the burrow didn't burn up in flames. So Molly told them to go Ollivander's while the others went to a second-hand apothecary's shop to refill the three Weasley brother's potion ingredients.

The last shop was narrow and shabby. Peeling gold letters over the door read Ollivanders: Makers of Fine Wands since 382 BC. A single wand lay on a faded purple cushion in the dusty window. A tinkling bell rang somewhere in the depths of the shop as they stepped inside. It was a tiny place, empty except for a single spindly chair . Nat felt strangely as though he had entered a very strict library. They looked around and saw thousands of narrow boxes piled neatly right up to the ceiling. The very dust and silence in there seemed to tingle with some secret magic. 'Good afternoon,' said a soft voice. The four of them jumped. An old man was standing before them, his wide, pale eyes shining like moons through the gloom of the shop. 'Hello,' said Cat awkwardly. 'Ah yes,' said the man. ''Yes, yes. I thought I'd be seeing you soon Catherine Black.'' Black? What? ''Oh that's my mother's maiden name Mr. Ollivander. My name is Catherine Tonks" she told him politely. "But.. unless.. oh of course! Forgive me Miss . Bla.. I mean Miss. Tonks. You just looked like.. nevermind. You'll learn in time" he told her. Cat looked very confused by the man's words. "I know the wand for you" and with that the man went inside and started fumbling with boxes . After about ten minutes of intense searching , Mr. Ollivander came out with a dust greyish box. He opened it and inside it was a brown wand with a pattern at the end. Curiously Cat lifted the wand and to her surprise it gave a small glow and beautiful sparks shot out of it. "I knew it. eleven and quarter inches yew and pheonix feather. What an unusual combination. Use it well and we can expect extremely great things from you my dear. I see that you have special powers and those powers with your wand will indeed make history." He told her. The hairs on the necks of the four eleven year old stood high. Nat saw Cat gulp and look at her. "You will be just fine Cat. You are amazing!" Nat consoled her.
"Okay . Next?"
Nat stepped forward and looked at the wand-maker. "Natalie Potter " he whispered softly. How did he know? It wasn't a question. 'You have your mother's eyes. It seems only yesterday she was in here herself, buying her first wand. Ten and a quarter inches long, swishy, made of willow. Nice wand for charm work.' Mr Ollivander moved closer to Nat. Those silvery eyes were a bit creepy. 'Your father, on the other hand, favoured a mahogany wand. Eleven inches. Pliable. A little more power and excellent for transfiguration. Well, I say your father favoured it – it's really the wand that chooses the wizard, of course.' 'Well, now – Ms. Potter. Let me see.' He pulled a long tape measure with silver markings out of his pocket. 'Which is your wand arm?' 'Er – well, I'm right-handed,' said Nat. 'Hold out your arm. That's it.' He measured her from shoulder to finger, then wrist to elbow, shoulder to floor, knee to armpit and round his head. As he measured, he said, 'Every Ollivander wand has a core of a powerful magical substance, Ms Potter. We use unicorn hairs, phoenix tail feathers and the heartstrings of dragons. Mr Ollivander was flitting around the shelves, taking down boxes. 'That will do,' he said, and the tape measure crumpled into a heap on the floor. 'Right then, Ms Potter. Try this one. Beechwood and dragon heartstring. Nine inches. Nice and flexible. Just take it and give it a wave.' She took the wand and (feeling foolish) waved it around a bit, but Mr Ollivander snatched it out of his hand almost at once. 'Maple and phoenix feather. Seven inches. Quite whippy. Try –' Nat tried again – but she had hardly raised the wand when it, too, was snatched back by Mr Ollivander. 'No, no ' She tried. And tried. She had no idea what Mr Ollivander was waiting for. The pile of tried wands was mounting higher and higher on the spindly chair, but the more wands Mr Ollivander pulled from the shelves, the happier he seemed to become. 'Tricky customer, eh? Not to worry, we'll find the perfect match here somewhere – I wonder, now – yes, why not – unusual combination – Blackthorn and phoenix feather, ten inches, nice and supple.' Nat took the wand. She felt a sudden warmth in her fingers. She raised her wand and beautiful silver and gold stars sort of flew out of her wand Mr Ollivander cried, 'Oh! very good. Well, well, well ... how curious … .' He put Nat's wand back into its box and wrapped it in brown paper, still muttering, '
"What's curious?' Mr Ollivander fixed Nat with his pale stare.
"Well you see Miss. Potter your wand is very fierce. Extremely. This will help you fight. Its a warrior's wand. But you see it's core has a twin. The wands that posses the twin cores have a very special connection. A connection that's so strong that it can either cause complete darkness or destroy it. The owners who posses these wands have a very strong connection and powers that are very strong. You must be wondering who has the twin core right? Well it's none other your friend here. These wands are strong. Use it wisely and we can expect great things from you." He told her with his soft and mysterious voice.
Hearing that both Natalie and Catherine froze on the spot. Why is everything between them connected? What is happening?
"Alas! Your questions will be answered in time." Mr Ollivander told them as if he read their thoughts. She didn't know what to think or say.
Both Catherine and Natalie were so deep in thoughts that the missed the twins wand ceremony - if you could call it. Nat felt bad for not paying attention because the twins were always paying attention to her … well... magical moments. She just paid seven gold Galleons for her wand and Mr Ollivander bowed them from his shop.
But her thought process went haywire. She was trying to figure out so much. She wanted answers so badly. "Please tell me you're also think of what Mr. Ollivander said. It's all so crazy yet it makes sense Nat. We have some weird telepathic connection (Not complaining because it does come handy sometimes) and then we get wands that match cores and we have awesome powers. Why do I get the feeling that our parents know something. There seems to be the bigger picture" Cat told her inside her head.
" You are right Cat. Something doesn't add up. I have a feeling Remus knows something. I'll ask him when I get back and tell you soon ok?" She told her back.

"Awesome guys! I think you guys another set of magical twins just like us!" Fred told them. The four of them just laughed as walked back to the rest of the Weasley's who had finished their shopping.
"Got all you need dears?" Molly asked them. They all nodded and headed back home.
