Chapter 2- Four Years Of Living with Mad Eye
Year One
They spent a lot of time going over her being a witch and what was going to happen.
"So I'll go to school to learn magic?" She asked excitedly.
"Yes, you will. You will spend seven years at this school and then you can have a career there or at the Ministry if you apply yourself." He said.
Lita liked being here. They were surrounded by trees and animals and she spent many hours walking in the woods, reading, or drawing. She never wanted to leave this spot. It was very beautiful. She would sit and watch the sun set after dinner and she would clean the house. She decorated her room. It was purple, she loved purple and the ceiling was black with white stars that Mad Eye made sparkle. She had a large bed, a desk and chair fit for a princess, and a dresser. It was the perfect room.
Mad Eye had taken her to Diagon Alley with him one day and she looked around wide eyed. Everything was sold there from wands to brooms to robes. Then he took her to Muggle London as he called it to buy her clothes. She had a blast running into stores she liked and picking up things to try them on. She was a girl after all.
Also later she was told that Lily and James Potter had died. She was told nothing more then that though she knew there was more, "Were they killed like my parents were?" she asked Moody.
"Yes they were but they were not killed by the Dark Lord's followers but by the Dark Lord himself."
It made her sad and she ran to her room. She felt sad for Harry for he was only one and would never know his parents. She had at least for a week known the maternal loving care of Lily Potter. It wasn't far to him that he would never know. As much as she missed her parents at least she knew them and knew they cared for her.
She wanted nothing more then to bring them back for him but she knew it was impossible. She cried for them and for Harry. Little did she know that Harry at that moment was being taken to live with his family a little south of London. He would spend eleven years there and not know what truly happened to his parents.
Then days turned into months and soon enough it was her eight birthday. When she woke that morning Remus and Moody were in the kitchen. She smiled when she saw them, "Good morning. Alastar. Good Morning, Mr. Lupin." She said kindly.
"Good Morning and Happy Birthday Lita." Remus said back to her.
She went over and hugged him. He was like a father to her. He had stopped by whenever he could and walked with in the forest or brought her a new book to read. She loved him. Wait she loved them both. They both saved her life and they were caring for her.
Three weeks later Remus came back for the anniversary of her parents' death. Lita was curled up on the couch in the sitting room. She was engrossed in a book that looked to be new. He went and sat on the floor in front of the couch, just so that she knew he was there. Moody had made tea and came to sit with her also. They weren't going to leave her alone. They couldn't. She was still young and she was still dealing with it.
They were there for hours when Lita finally spoke, "Thank you both so much for being here with me." She said.
Year Two
Not a lot happened in this year except Lita met the Minister for Magic and immediately began hating his guts. She could sense that he was not exactly all there and that he was a bit of a nutter. Which later he would go on and prove to the entire wizarding world.
Lita turned nine and Remus was there again for her birthday.
Another Anniversary went by.
Year Three
She met the Weasley family and immediately became friends with Fred and George though they were four years younger than her. She hated Percy's guts and Ron was three and Ginny was two. The other two boys were gone away for the summer.
Lita turned ten
Another anniversary.
Year Four
She would be starting Hogwarts this year and she was looking forward to it.
Lita turned Eleven
Another anniversary
Moody took Lita to the train station to catch the Hogwarts Express. She was really excited. When she was on board she finally knew she was happy.
