Chapter 1

Chapter 2

So this chapter is dedicated to my friend Ellie Eleven Potter. She is leaving this site in 2 days and asked if I would write another chapter. I was not planning on writing one right away but promised her that I would before she left. So to Ellie thanks for being such a great friend and mentor to me. I hope you like the chapter! It had been three years since Charlotte had moved in with Remus and the two of them were inseparable. They lived in a small two-story cottage in the countryside.Every morning little Charlotte would go wake up Remus, he would take her downstairs and make her breakfast. The rest of the day they would do chores together and play. Remus also did school with her, as she was too young to attend muggle school. He didn’t baby her too much as he wanted her to grow up to be a strong independent girl. People in stores would say Charlotte was very mature and smart for her age. Remus would just smile and think to himself,’’ Just like Lily.’’ Though in some ways she acted like Lily, she was the same as James in other ways. Though she had Lily’s beautiful red hair, it was much untameable, much like James’s hair. Remus had little patience most mornings to help Charlotte brush it. Charlotte was also always getting into mischief, though sometimes it seemed that mischief found her. Late one autumn night Remus was finally heading to bed when he heard some noises coming from Charlotte’s bedroom. Thinking that she was having a nightmare,which happened very often, Remus went in to console her. Opening the door and looking inside, the moonlight was peering in from the open window. ‘’I thought I shut the window,’’ he thought to himself as he moved closer to the crib. Leaning over the bed to check on the toddler, Remus gasped in surprise. ‘’What the hell is this,’’ he said out loud. Laying in Charlotte’s bed was a 5-foot snake trying to strangle the girl. Acting fast Remus drew his wand and quickly muttered,’’ Evanesco.’’The snake vanished just like that. Very out of breath and emotional from the thought of losing his godchild, he picked her up to make sure everything was alright with her. The toddler was somehow still asleep from all the commotion. Opening her eyes the girl sleepily asked,’’ What happened Uncle Remus?’’ Looking closer at the crib, Lupin noticed a piece of parchment that read, The child will end up like her mother soon, Dead. ‘’Everythings alright Lottie,’’ he said using his special nickname for her. ‘’You’re just going to come sleep with me tonight.’’ Remus knew it was a death eater that planted the snake, but he vowed to keep the child safe at all costs. Now five years old, Charlotte was beginning to understand she was different from most children in two different ways. For starters, not all kids could perform magical acts. The first time she performed magic was when she was four. Remus wouldn’t let her have another cookie that the two of them had just finished baking. Charlotte threw one of her very rare temper tantrums( it was also past her nap time) and suddenly the one cookie on her plate turned into five! Remus was ecstatic, though she didn’t understand why until he told her that she was a witch just like how he was a wizard. Charlotte also knew she was different because all of the other kids she interacted with weren’t raised by their godfather, or without a mom. This didn’t bother her too much though as she loved her Uncle Remus very much and was happy living with him. One day she was going through an old photo album when she stumbled across a picture of 2 adults that looked a lot like her, a little boy, and an infant. All four were smiling and waving at the camera. Charlotte was very curious about the picture so she went to go find her godfather. Pulling on his sleeve to get his attention she asked,’’ Uncle Remus who are these people?’’ Looking at the picture, Remus was instantly filled with remorse. ‘’Those two people are your parents, Lottie’’ he said solemnly, pointing at the two adults. Charlotte knew that her parents were murdered, her godfather didn’t keep it a secret. He would also tell her stories about them sometimes. ‘’And who’s that?’’ she said gesturing at the little boy, intrigued. ‘’That’s your older brother, Harry. He lives with some of your other relatives.’’ Remus hated that he lived with the muggles, but Dumbledore had explained a while back why he must. This was the first time Charlotte had ever heard that she had a brother and was quite shocked. ‘’Why can’t he come live with us, Moony?’’ Remus smiled at the nickname Charlotte used when she was first learning to talk. ‘’I’ll explain to you when your older,let’s go pick some flowers in the garden now,’’ he said taking her hand and leading her outside. Thanks so much for reading! And to all those who left me a review thanks so much. Please comment on my wall what you thought about the chapter and if you have any ideas for the book.Also what color eyes should Charlotte have? Green like Lily and Harry or should I do the cliche fanfiction thing and do opposite hair and eyes for the siblings?-thanks Emily Rose Potter
