'Thinking'

Flashback

(Scene Break)

At Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry…

In the Headmaster's office, sat a very old man, who looked like he was just told that his Lemon Drops were not being made any more. Albus was mourning of the death of a little girl named Hannah Lily Potter. It was supposed to be a very good month for him and some others. First, Peter Petigrew was found to be alive and was capture and then it was discovered that Sirius Black was innocence of all crimes, expect for peeping on girls in the prefect baths in his seventh year by the use of a two way mirror and that Peter was the real traitor.

Albus, then after everything was cleared up, went to the Dursleys' house to pick up Hannah, only to find that she was murdered by her own cousin on the orders of his parents. He traveled back to his office, where Sirius and his last remaining best friend, Remus was waiting for Hannah to arrive, so they could take her home with them. But when he entered his office, Sirius had jumped up, expecting his goddaughter to come running towards him, but when he saw the expression on Albus' face, he immediately knew what had happened as he just broke down and cried. Remus tried his best to comfort his best friend.

Remus could not except the fact that his cub, Lily's and James' daughter was dead. As a werewolf, he had formed a bond that was almost unbreakable; except for in death can it be broken. His wolf told him that the bond was, in fact, still in place and not broken. But the bond was different than before, it is like she was in a far away place that he could not get to.

"She's not dead," Remus blurted out, all of the sudden. Causing the heads of Sirius and Albus to snap up and stare at him, like he just grow two more heads. Albus got up out of his chair and walked over to look at the book that gives the names of the students, who would be coming to Hogwarts for the next eleven years.

Sirius snapped at his best friend furiously, "How dare you lie to me, Remus!?"

Remus' eyes turned to an ember color as he snapped back, "The bond is still there, Padfoot. The bond is not broken and the only way for a bond between a werewolf and his cub to break is only through death. But my bond with Hannah is still there, but it just feels like Hannah is in a place that we can't get to."

"Sirius, my dear boy, Remus is right. Hannah's name is still on the list," Albus interrupted. Remus and Sirius shot up out of their chairs and rushed over to where the Headmaster was and saw that the Headmaster was pointing to Hannah's name.

Sirius fell down on his knees in relief and cried, but this time, the tears were filled with joy and happiness. Remus turned to the Headmaster and asked curiously, "Is there any way for the List to give us an address or a name of the place that Hannah is in?"

The Headmaster shook his head as he answered sadly, "Sorry, my dear boy. The time that we would receive an address, is when the letters are sent out."

Remus just sighed in defeat as there was nothing that could be done. He wanted to find his cub right now and apologize over and over again, for not fighting harder to gain custody of her and also, to beg for forgiveness for not being there for her.

Sirius suddenly had a thought come to him and he exclaimed loudly, "The Goblins!"

Albus and Remus both looked confused and lost at what he just exclaimed. Remus began thinking that his best friend's last bit of sanity went out the window as he questioned him, "What about the goblins, Padfoot?"

Sirius had a hundred watt smile on his face as he exclaimed loudly and cheerfully, "The goblins can locate Hannah, Moony. Hannah is the heiress of the Potter Family and I made her the heiress of the Black Family, when she was born. There is no way that the goblins won't know the location of Hannah. Hell, if Hannah somehow got transported to a different world, the goblins would have a way to get to her!"

Sirius was now bouncing around the office like a five year old on a sugar high. He even began dragging Remus towards the fireplace, with the idea of going to the goblins that very minute, even though it was almost one in the morning. Remus took out his wand and stunned Sirius and put a sleeping charm on him, so he could get some sleep as they needed it.

The Headmaster chuckled as he said, "Remus, you and Sirius can use one of the guest's dorms, tonight."

Remus smiled as he thanked the Headmaster, before the two of them left the office, while the Headmaster walked into his bedroom, which was connected to his office, with a happy smile on his face and a twinkle in his eyes. The day or rather night was getting better and better.

(Scene Break)

In Lougetown…

It has been a week since Hannah was released from the hospital, fully healed. Smoker had ordered clothes for her to wear, which included pants, skirts, shirts, dresses, and shoes after several nurses at the hospital picked out what the little girl would need. They even helped his men fixed up a proper bedroom for her. Hannah could not believe that someone would go to such trouble for her. She was so happy that she clung to Smoker and sobbed on his coat, while he rubbed her back in comfort.

During the week, it became a common site for the marines and common civilians to see Hannah following Smoker everywhere that he went. The women would coo over how cute Smoker and Hannah looked to together, truly like a father and his daughter. Also, Hannah got used to the amount of people that are usually around them, but she gets a bit nervous around new people that she never seen before.

Today, the marines were cleaning up the Headquarters, because a Marine Admiral named Kizaru was coming to Lougetown to drop off a young female marine named Tashigi, who would be her father's second in command and also, help raise her. And also, this Admiral Kizaru is coming to see if Smoker is doing his paperwork, properly. So right now, Hannah was sitting in her father's office, coloring in a kid's picture coloring book as best as she could, while her dad worked on the last piece of paperwork in front of him. Signing it, Smoker finally set down his pen and leaned back in his chair and let out a sigh of relief. Looking over to where Hannah was sitting and coloring. He got up and sat down next to Hannah.

"What are you doing?" Smoker asked as he looked at the picture that she was coloring in.

"I'm coloring in some pictures, see," Hannah said happily as she began showing her dad all of the pictures that she neatly colored in. Smoker had to admit that Hannah was very talented at coloring. The pictures looked like they were alive and real. He half expected for them to jump off of their pages. It was just like magic.

"I'm very impressed. You have a wonderful talent, there, little one," Smoker praised as he patted her head. Hannah looked like her birthday came early.

"Thanks, dad!" Hannah chirped, causing Smoker to smile. It felt wonderful to be called dad.

Suddenly, a marine officer came running into the office, stood at attention and stated, "The marine warship has been spotted, Captain Smoker, Sir!"

Smoker nodded and turned to Hannah and told her, "Its time for you to put your things away. We will be leaving for the harbor in a couple of moments."

Hannah did as she was told and put her things back where they came from and then went with her dad to the harbor to greet the newcomers.

(Scene Break)

As the marine warship dock, Hannah could not help, but stare at it with big huge eyes. The warship was huge; she had never seen something that big before. She could see that there were lots of marines running around as they did their jobs and made sure that everything was going to plan and running smoothly. Hannah glanced at her dad; he had a very serious expression on his face. She was holding onto his hand as she was very nervous about meeting new people, but she knew that her dad would protect her no matter what happened.

Suddenly, Smoker walked forward and saluted and said, "Welcome to Lougetown, Admiral Kizaru Sir!"

"Thank you, Captain Smoker," Admiral Kizaru replied, before turning to the woman, who was standing behind him. "This is Lt. Tashigi from the West Blue. She is going to be your new second in command."

The young woman stepped forward and bowed to Smoker in respect and said, "Thank you, Captain Smoker Sir, for choosing me. I will not let you down, sir."

"Very well. Let us retire to my office, shall we?" Smoker usually does not act this way, but with a marine Admiral around, he has to act this way as it shows respect to them.

As they walked back to Lougetown's Marine Headquarters, Admiral Kizaru finally noticed Hannah. Kizaru always did have a soft spot for little children. He used to have a son when he was younger, but his son became a marine and was killed in the line of duty by rogue marines that were put under his command. Finally, they made it to Smoker's office, so they settled down and made themselves comfortable.

"So, what's your name, little one?" Kizaru asked gently.

Hannah looked up the Admiral nervously and answered respectfully, "Hannah, sir."

"That's a beautiful name for a cute girl like yourself. So may I ask you, who are your parents?" In reality, Kizaru was curious about why the child was here in the first place.

Hannah pointed to Smoker and said, "He's my dad."

Tashigi and Kizaru both blinked in surprise as they did not expect that answer. Smoker did not look like to be the type to be a dad, especially being a father to a little girl.

"My, my, aren't we full of surprises," Kizaru chirped. "Hannah, you can call me, jiji."

The marines that were in the room, had their jaws hit the floor in shock and their eyes almost bugged out of their heads. Smoker's two cigars fell out of his mouth in shock. He could not believe that Admiral Kizaru wanted to be Hannah's grandfather. Sure, he heard what had happened to the Admiral's son, but never did he hear Kizaru asking a young kid to call him jiji before.

Hannah studied the Admiral's face, before she said cheerfully, "Okay, jiji."

Kizaru could not resist her cuteness as he hugged the girl. He frowned a tiny bit when he felt Hannah tense up slightly. He would have to ask Smoker what happened to Hannah in the past. He knew that Hannah was adopted by just seeing them together.

Smoker gained back his composure and told Hannah, "Hannah, why don't you show Admiral Kizaru your pictures?"

"Okay, dad," Hannah responded as she wiggled her way out of the hug to get her coloring books and then showing them to her new family member, who 'aww'ed over the wonderful job that she did.
