A LUPIN, A BLACK AND A POTTER
It was the end of the school term and the beginning of the Easter holidays when the next big chapter started in Remus’s life. Dora was taking a nap (and so was his nine month old baby), Hermione had locked herself in the library and Harry was over at the burrow. Luna however, was found in the dinning room with the table set up like a tea party. Her wolf soft toy, her favourite doll, Harry’s stag and Hermione’s dog was seated on the other chairs. “Hello daddy” she said softly “would you like a cup of tea?” “Why certainly Lu, milk and three sugars” Remus said sitting down on the empty chair next to Luna. “Moony would you like some more biscuits?” Luna asked the wolf toy “no Padfoot you have already eaten a packet, keep it up and you’ll be fat” Remus laughed silently at his five year old daughter’s antics. He accepted the imaginary cup of tea and took a sip. “Daddy, why doesn’t Neville have the same surname as Mr and Mrs Lovegood?” Luna asked “Well sweetie Xeno and Marianne aren’t Neville’s real parents” The girl blinked “neither are you mine but I still have your surname” “Harry and Hermione don’t have my surname” “Because they aren’t related to you by blood. Neville is mr and Mrs Lovegood’s cousin” “Sweetie, all of you was war children. You were born in a dark time where people were being killed by a mad man. It’s important that children keep their parents surname no matter what, kind of like a memorial” The girl nodded at the explanation. Sadly last October Neville’s grandmother died. Marianne had quickly accepted custody of the boy. She couldn’t have children, once she looked into a couple of orphanages for magical children but couldn’t find any. Neville has become the nearest thing of her having a child. There was a ringing sound coming from the fire alerting Remus to a guest. “I’ll go and find out who that is” Remus said walking towards the living room. There stood Albus Dumbledore staring at some of the family pictures, his eyes twinkling. “Hello Remus” he said softly “Hello Albus. What brings you here?” “just thought to bring over the children’s Easter eggs, I’m going to be visiting my brother for the holidays and I might not get the chance to see the children” Albus said cheerfully handing a small sack that felt like it had a cooling charm on. “Thank you Albus I’ll make sure the children will get these on Easter. Is Minerva still coming round for dinner?” “Yes she is, she can’t wait to see the young children again, and I imagine that soon she’ll spend all of her holidays here” Remus smiled “well more the merrier” There was a crashing sound coming from the dining room. “LU! LU WHAT HAPPENED?” Remus shouted running into the dining room with Albus behind him. There stood a little five year old girl in small trance her china tea set broken on the floor. “Luna?” She looked up her eyes glazed over and her voice dreamy. “Four brothers in everything but blood One wolf, one stag, one dog and one rat The dog betrayed by the rat locked in a prison of despair The stag in paradise with the love of his life The wolf with children and wife The rat near the wolf, traitor to all. The wolf will find the rat and the dog will come home But when the fawn, puppy and cub grow up things will come tumbling down” Luna blinked and smiled “sorry daddy I went to sleep would you like a biscuit?” Albus smiled “it seems Remus, that your lovely daughter is a seer”
