"Ok Harry slow and easy ok?" I asked as seven year old Harry stepped into the pool for the first time without a raft or floaties. Remus was already in the pool ready to save Harry if he needed to.

"Don't worry Auntie Grace. I got this." Harry said "I'm not afraid." then he jumpped into the pool

"Harry!" I exclaimed as he landed in the water. He went under, my breath caught, Remus dove under the surface. He emerged with a smiling Harry James potter. Remus handed Harry up to me then climbed out. I sat Harry down on the chair "What were you thinking Harry James Potter? You want me to die young?"

"No ma'am." Harry whispered looking at his feet. "I just wanted to show you that I could do it. That I'm brave like you and Remus. And like how you say my mom and dad were."

"Harry, me and Uncle Remus already know that you're brave." I said

"You'll make a good lion kid." Remus added

"But, you can't go doing stuff like that. You could've hurt yourself. Understand?" I asked

"Yes ma'am I understand." Harry said his untidy hair falling into his eyes.

I pushed it out of his face then pulled him into a hug. "I can't lose you too, Slim."

Harry looked at my face and smiled. "You wont lose me auntie Grace. No one's a match for me."

"Ok lion why don't we go get some ice cream from the kitchen." Remus said which earned him a smirk from the seven year old. I watched the two walk into the house then I looked up at the sky.

"Hey James, Lily. I miss you two. Harry is so much like you. He's funny, and sweet. He saved a little baby bird yesterday from falling out of its nest that's on Harry's bedroom window seal. I'm afraid of what'll happen to him when Voldemort returns. I can't bring myself to tell him who the Dark Lord is or why he killed you two. Albus told me he has to find out soon. I don't think I can do it. i can't tell him. How do you tell such a nice little boy that a Dark Wizard is after him? How?" I closed my eyes as the tears began to fall. A drop of rain landed on my nose. I stood there as the rain fell all around me. My long brown hair falling around my shoulders and down my back. As I stood there in the rain I remembered a time where Sirius and I danced in the rain after an Order meeting outside of the Burrow.

It was june. The year was 1979. I was eighteen, he was twenty. We'd been dating for a year. We were happy. We'd been at an Order meeting for four hours. Reporting about Voldemort's movement and his new recruits as Death Eaters. I had only been an Order member for two weeks. I wasn't allowed into the meetings though. Alot of them said I was too young. The rest said I was better then most of the more experienced members. I didn't argue I didn't see the point. So I watched the five Weasley children that were alive at that time.

"Come on Gracie." Sirius said pulling me out of the Weasley's home into the rain.

"Sirius no!" I laughed as I tried to pull on my jacket. Sirius grabbed it and threw it somewhere. I couldn't tell where, it was dark. "Sirius no! I just baught this outfit!"

"So? I'll buy you a new one." Sirius said wrapping his arms around my waist. I smiled up at him and put my head on his shoulder. "I love you Gracie. So much." he whispered placing a kiss on the top of my head. I looked up into his eyes and whispered "I love you too Siri."

"You're so beautiful, love." Sirius said

"You're not that bad yourself, ." I said

"Lets dance." Sirius suggested

"I don't think so. You know I have two left feet when it comes to dancing." I said

"That's what I'm here for." he said

I let him lead me around and around the yard. Barely noticing how soaked I was. We were lost in the moment. Not noticing that most of the Order were watching us from the window of the house.

end of flashback

I walked into the house and waved my wand to dry off. Then I walked into the dinning room where Remus and Harry were sitting talking very excitedly. "What's going on in here you two?"

"Nothing." Harry said then he hurried from the room.

"He just got invited to Rons birthday party." Remus said "Wants to know if he's grounded for jumping into the pool."

"No, he's just being a boy." I said as I started lunch.

"Don't make any for me. I have to go to work." Remus said

"Are you coming back tonight?" I asked as I followed him to the front door.

"No, I..tomorrow's the full moon. I probably wont be back for a few days." then he left.

Something was wrong. If it was the full moon the next night Remus would be back the day after. Not days after. I turned around when an owl flew into the room. I untied the letter from the owls claw and it flew back out. I opened the letter and my breath caught.

Dear Ms. Grace Potter,

This letter is to inform you that we here at Gringotts were finally able to locate Mr. James and Mrs. Lily Potter's last will and testiment. The following is all the information included into said will

If I'm dead my secret keeper has given me and Lily up. To those reading this take care of yourselves. Watch over my son.

To my sister, Grace Potter, and one of my best mates, Sirius Black, the guardianship to my son Harry James. I hope you will do your best at watching over him. I know you'll be great parents.

To Remus Lupin, I leave a vault full of both Wizard and muggle money. don't worry about saving it. It will reveal itself once, taking money from one of the other Potter vaults.

I leave 100 gallons to the Ministry of Magic Department of Magical Creatures.

I flipped the page to read Lilys.

I leave all my belongings to my son and my sister Grace Potter. I love you two more then anything. James does too, very much. Grace, tell Harry about Voldemort, about how much James and I loved him so very much. There's a vault at Gringotts for you and one for Harry. Take care Gracie and keep an eye on Wormtail and Padfoot. I know Moony will be there for you, to help with all three of the children.

I laid the letter down on the counter and sat down at the table.

"Auntie Grace, can I go to Rons birthday tomorrow?" Harry asked

"Yeah, will go before and get Ron a present." I said looking into his bright green eyes. Harry smiled and ran from the room. I placed a pot of water on the stove then got to cutting up potatoes.

Harry started hanging out with Ron when they were five. They connected instantly. Harry spends most of the year at the Weasleys. Molly's basically adopted Harry as a son. It's nice, Harry loves Molly as if she were his mom. That's what he needs at such a young age. That's what he craves. What I can't give him.
