Authors Note: I no owny the people just Lita. Got it. J.K Rowling AKA God owns the characters.
Chapter 1- Number 12 Grimmauld Place
Lita turned over in bed and stretched as she woke. There was sun coming through the window in her room and she heard voices in the hall. She woke and looked around. 'This isn't my room ' she thought as she looked around. She looked over the room a few times and started to remember what had happened the night before. She felt like crying but instead screamed and ran into a corner. In her room the corner is where her dolls were and now there was dust and a spider web.
She heard footsteps running up the stairs followed by the door being opened quickly and there was a loud bang when the door met the wall. She looked up, it was the man from before and she began to settle down. He looked over at her and saw she was scared and went over to her, "It's okay. You're safe. No one can hurt you here. Your safe." He said pulling her into a hug.
She looked over his shoulder and saw a woman holding a baby and fell back into the corner. Remus looked behind him to see Lily with Harry in her arms standing behind him. He motioned for her to come over and she did, "Lily this is Lita Tena. Lita Tena this is Lily Potter and her son Harry."
She looked up at them. Harry was sleeping in her arms and she was smiling at Lily, "Nice to meet you, Mrs. Potter."
"Same to you, Miss Tena." She said looking down at her.
Lita finally found the courage to get out of the corner and stand up. She looked to the door and then back at Remus, "Breakfast is ready if you want to eat." Remus told Lita.
Lita walked out the door and waited for Lily and Remus. Remus walked Lita into the kitchen where she was met with many stares. She kept her head down and sat at the table. Then Moody set a plate in front of her and she began to eat. She couldn't look up at anyone. What would she say to them? What would they say to her?
At last someone spoke, "Miss Tena, as you know we are here to keep you safe also to tell you about what happened to your parents and why. Now we have some questions for you before we get started."
She looked up at the man who spoke to her, "Okay." She said putting her head back down.
"Can you tell us how old you are?" Moody asked.
"I am seven years old." She said quietly.
"Who are your parents and what did they do?"
"My parents are Aaron and Candice Tena and my dad was lawyer and my mom studied the supernatural. Magic, ghosts, and stuff like that." She said now looking at the man.
"Did you ever see the man that killed your parents before that night?"
"Yes, he was at the market when my mom and I were there." She said, "I want to know why they killed my parents? Why I was not? What happened?"
"Your parents were killed so they could take you. In our world you are of great significance. You will be quite powerful and how you choose to use that power will be up to you."
"Your world? Power? Like Magic?" she asked.
"Yes. You my dear are a witch." Lily spoke at last. Lita tried to take it in but it just wouldn't sink in. Her a witch it just couldn't be. She knew that people existed with powers but her one of them was silly.
"We need to discuss who will take the child in?" This time a man with glasses spoke.
"Your right James we do." Moody said, " I will take her in. The rest of you have families to look after. I will take good care of her."
They all agreed. Moody looked at the girl who just looked at the floor. She was upset, she had no one. Well that was not true she had them. They were going to take care of her. All of them.
Later that day Lita went to explore the house. She went into the sitting room and looked around. Then went into the hall and stumbled over what looked like an elf. She looked down and saw that it was in fact an elf. She ran up the stairs to get away from it and then a picture started talking to her, "GET OUT OF HERE YOU FILTHY MUDBLOOD!!!" it screamed. She ran to the only place she felt safe, the kitchen. When she got there she ran and hid in a corner. She did not even realize someone was in the kitchen, "Lita are you alright?" the person asked.
"Pictures are yelling at me and calling me names. I'm just kind of scared." She laughed slightly when she said it.
"That is the portrait of my friend Sirius' mother. She believes that for people to be wizards and witches they need to be purebloods. Meaning they come from all magic families. She never really liked muggles." Remus said.
"What are muggles and why did she call me a mudblood?" she asked.
"Muggles are non magic people and a mudblood is a nasty name for someone who is a witch or wizard born of two muggle parents. I'm sorry she called you that." He said going over to her to give her a hug.
She finally got up and sat at the table. She wanted to get to know these people, "Mr. Lupin, who is the man taking me in?" she asked.
"He was with me that night. His name is Alastar Moody and he is an auror or dark wizard catcher. He will keep you safe."
"Why can't you take me in?"
"I can't because I have jobs to do for the Order. Moody will take good care of you." He said, "Moody wants to leave in about a week so I guess I can keep you occupied until then."
"I want to draw or paint. I'm naturally artistic or so my mom said. But dad was the one who always wanted me to do it." She said, "Said it would keep me out of trouble and my moms hair." She laughed and so did he.
One week later
Lita woke to the sound of a knock on the door, "Lita we need to leave in 15 minutes." Moody said.
"Alright I'll be downstairs in ten." She said.
She had very little to pack seeing as they only gave her the clothes she would need. She put them in the suitcase left outside her door and packed them neatly. She then got dressed, brushed her hair, and brushed her teeth and packed those things. She went out into the hallway and saw the elf again. He was muttering something under his breath and never looked at her. She walked down the stairs and met up with Moody. She looked around the room and saw Remus and hugged him goodbye. Then without warning she was taking by the wrist and they apparated to a house in the forest. It was beautiful really. She could tell that she was going to like here. She was going to like her new home and she was happy.
