A LUPIN, A BLACK AND A POTTER
It’s been two months since the birth of Selene, and over those two months the children learned the joys of parenthood. Every night Selene would wake all three of them up crying. When Remus and Dora stumbled in to sort her out they would find all three children trying to calm her down. “Remus, we must get a bigger house” Dora hissed one morning after Harry fell asleep in his bowl of cereal. “Dora, I know the cottage is small but we could make it bigger – “No! It’s time the children made friends with other wizardry children anyway. All three of them hardly spend time with the other children here, especially now that Justin has moved back in with his parents” Remus looked thoughtful “you told Dumbledore that when the children were older we might move to st Ottercrey in Devon.” Dora nodded “Well if we ask him to find a nice big house nearby, that’s cheap, I guess we could move. But I don’t really want to sell the cottage it’s been in my family for centuries” Dora sighed “Remus, the Lupin cottage was originally made for the mistress of the head of family. The only reason the Lupins live here now is because your great, great grandparents got into debt and had to sell the manor” “Yes but still, it’s the only thing I have left of my family” Dora looked thoughtful “how about if we rent it to Arabella? She’s been complaining about having to live near the Dursleys and have no privacy. We rent her the cottage and you could always visit.” “Doraaaaaaaaaaa do we really have to move” Remus whined like a two year old “Yes, it’s not fair on the children; they had only two descent nights of sleep. And that’s on the full moon when they have their own rooms at mums. We knew this day was coming Remus” “Yes but I was hoping it would come two or three years later” Remus mumbled “Well it’s happening now so get used to it” Dora then banged on the table waking Hermione, Harry and Luna up. “Come on kids’ time to go to school” “Auntie Doraaaaaaaaaaa do we have to?” Harry whined “yes.” Dora smiled “you know Remus you and Harry have a lot in common” It wasn’t until Dora was walking down the street when Remus figured out what she meant. The Moonlight Manor was a large Victorian era house just on the out skirts of st Ottercrey. It had five large bedrooms, a large dining room, two bathrooms, a medium sized living room, a medium sized kitchen and a large room on the ground floor that Remus baptised as the library. It was the Lupins’ first day and while Dora was unpacking hers and Remus stuff and Remus was somewhere under a large pile of books trying to arrange them in alphabetical order (and probably to hide his chocolate stash) Albus Dumbledore and Minerva McGonagall were decorating the bedrooms and unpacking the children’s things. They had decorated one room in red and gold with a lion bed sheets on the bed and matching curtains for Harry. They decorated another room a pale purple one side filled with books another filled with dolls with lacy white bed sheets on the bed and matching curtains for Luna and Hermione (Remus and Dora decided they should share a room so they could have a guest room for guests). For little Selene they had decorated the ceiling to look like the nights sky, the walls were pale pink and the carpet was a darker shade of pink. On each door they placed signs with their names on it. Luna, Hermione, Harry were playing in the woods under the watchful eye of their grandma when they heard sounds of what seemed like Qudditch. “Let’s sneak off and find them” Harry whispered excitedly “we might get to meet a famous team or even better wizardry children” “We shouldn’t leave grandma” Hermione said “No we should go” Luna said “we will make friends with them and be happy” she then walked off following the sounds off Qudditch, Harry behind her. Hermione sighed and followed just to make sure they don’t do anything stupid of course. They were met with the sight of five children playing on their brooms, with three children on toy brooms underneath them. A boy with red hair and glasses was reading in a tree. “Hello” Hermione said “what are you reading” The boy looked up “MUGGLES” he shouted causing the children riding on their brooms to freeze. “We’re not muggles” Harry said indignantly “we’re wizards and witches. Just moved in on the other side of the woods.” The broom riders landed and the eldest boy with longish red hair held out a hand to Harry. “Bill Weasley” he said “fourth year in Hogwarts, we’ve been allowed the weekend off, family emergency, mum needed us to look after the younger ones” he said hurriedly as if he was worried that he would get into trouble for not being in school. “This is Charlie he’s a second year. The boy in the tree is Percy, these identical monsters are Fred and George, the boy that’s roughly their age is Cedric Diggory, the boy with red hair roughly your age is Ron, the boy also probably your age is Neville Longbottom and the little girl with red hair is Ginny.” Bill took a deep breath “and you are?” “Oh” Harry said smiling “I’m Harry Potter, this is Hermione Black and the blonde one is Luna Lupin” “You’re Harry Potter” the boys whispered in shock “Erm, yeah…. Why it’s not that big of a deal” Harry mumbled turning red. “Not that big of a deal? You defeated you know who” Bill said excitedly “Who?” Harry, Hermione and Luna said looking confused “You know who, he who must not be named, the scariest and evilest wizard to have ever lived” “Oh you mean Voldemort” the three siblings chorused. Everyone flinched. “You said his name” Charlie said looking impressed “Fear of a name increases the fear itself” the three siblings chanted “They sound a lot like Fred and George” Ron said “hang on what are the girls’ surnames again? I mean they can’t be your sisters” “They are” Harry said shortly “we’re adopted. The bushy brown-haired one is Hermione Black and the blonde one is Luna Lupin, I told you before” “Black? You mean Sirius Black, the traitor” Bill said The children all shot Hermione glares. “Hermione did not commit the crimes” Luna said “so why are you being mean” The children looked confused, yes they were thinking mean things but they didn’t do anything. “Lupin sounds familiar too” Bill said “Remus and Dora Lupin, they’re our adopted parents. Me and Mione call them uncle and auntie but Luna calls them mum and dad” “Dora Lupin…… oh she’s Healer Tonks’ daughter. Healer Tonks’ birthed all of us” Bill said The three children nodded, when they heard a voice calling for them. “We’re over here grandma” Hermione shouted There were sounds of running footsteps before a dark-haired woman cam running out with a baby in her arms. “Hermione Jane Black, Harry James Potter, Luna Marlene Lupin don’t you ever run off like that again you could have been killed or eaten or kidnapped” the woman pushed a lock of hair from her face and spotted the crowd of children, she smiled “ah, I remember you lot, birthed each and every one of you. William Arthur Weasley, Charles James Weasley, Percival Samuel Weasley, Fredrick Gideon Weasley George Fabian Weasley, Ronald Bilius Weasley, Ginevra Molly Weasley, Neville Franklin Longbottom and Cedric Amos Diggory.” “You’re Andromeda Tonks” Bill said in awe “the best midwife ever.” Andromeda blushed faintly “I wouldn’t say best but I have birthed the majority of this generation apart from the Malfoy heir, my sister didn’t like the idea of my blood traitor hands touching her baby, well more like her husband” she took in the sight of Bill and Charlie “shouldn’t you two be in school?” “Family emergency, we’re needed here to look after the children” Bill said Andromeda softened “yes I heard about your grandmother and your’s too Neville” Neville looked down at his feet “grandma will get better” he whispered “she’s the strongest person I have ever met” Andromeda sighed softly Augusta Longbottom didn’t have long in this world; she and Cedrella Weasley were in a muggle bus accident and suffered great injuries. “How come you’re here Neville dear?” she asked “I’m living with my dad’s cousin, Marianne Lovegood” Neville muttered. “Ah yes Marianne the poor girl” Andromeda commented softly, Marianne was a patient of hers, she recently found out she couldn’t be pregnant ever. “Well we better be going kids” she said louder. “Bye” Luna, Harry and Hermione said Authors note: I am very surprised that no one has picked up on the clues I’ve dropped in on the last few chapters about Luna, but never mind I will tell you soon.
