Alrighty, so this is my first go at a fanfic and I hope I don't disappoint. This story adds a character to the Wizarding World. It will stay as close to canon as possible but will have to adjust a bit to the new character. This story also shows a new side to Lupin. The main character is Sirius' daughter and Lupin's Goddaughter, which also brings me to the fact that Lupin wasn't ever homeless or alone... At least not in my story... EVERYTHING in the Wizarding world belongs to the amazing, incredible JK Rowling, except of course the character I invented. The locations, people, etc. are hers and only hers. So, here goes.

Prologue:
On a dark and misty night, in Surrey, a baby boy was being taken to his Aunt and Uncle’s house. His parents had just been murdered by the greatest evil ever seen, and he was now an orphan. But this is not a story about Harry James Potter, The Boy Who Lived. This story takes place a few hours later, in Shell Cottage, where a baby girl was being transferred to her Godfather’s.
A tabby looking cat with squared markings shaping her eyes stood on the corner of Shell Cottage and Sandy Lane. She had been on that same corner for a little over an hour. Glancing around, she shivered once and then rested her eyes upon a deserted patch of pavement right under a lamppost. After what seemed like ten minutes, there was a flicker of movement from a nearby bush. A man in long dress-robes and a pointed wizard’s hat stepped out into the light and clicked a cigarette lighter look alike. The closest light went out. After clicking it multiple times, the whole street was completely black. In the strange looking man’s other arm was a bundle of pink blankets with the softest sound of heavy breathing. The tabby cat transformed, for a second time that night, into her “human form.”
“Good Evening, Professor Dumbledore,” stated the witch as she walked up to him, her emerald robes billowing out behind her.
“Good Evening, or shall I say morning, Professor McGonagall,” smiled the tall wizard. “Long time, no see,” he chuckled.
“Albus, is it true? Did Sirius really betray them? His best friend, Albus?”
“I’m afraid the truth is not always easily seen, Minerva. We may never know what has truly happened. But, what I do know is that Sirius was found in a street with twelve muggles dead and only a finger left of Peter Pettigrew. He has been taken to Azkaban, and Amelia, going after him, found herself in the crossfire. I don’t know if Sirius will ever be able to forgive himself for that.”
“What will happen to Emily?”
“That, Minerva, is what brings us to another neighborhood tonight. I think it will be best if we take her to her godfather’s house. I think he will want to take her.”
“First Harry and now Emily; what has the world come to?”
“Ahh, Minerva, let’s not dwell upon the unpleasant. Once again, think of what has happened. He is gone, for now at least.”
“So, you don’t think he’s gone for good?”
“Only time can tell. Shall we get her inside?” asked Dumbledore, indicating the pink bundles in his hand.
The witch nodded, and they glided down the street. As they walked, they felt the light breeze linger in the air. The smell of the ocean swirled around them, stinging their nostrils a bit. Staying on the out-skirt of the street, they rounded right before stopping in front of a white cottage with flowers outlining the walk to the door. There was a dim light through one of the upstairs’ windows. Dumbledore and McGonagall made their way to the door, then knocked three times. While they waited, Dumbledore hummed a show tune and McGonagall stared at the baby they were about to hand off. They heard footsteps echo through the house, lights flipping on as they grew louder. The footsteps stopped and a man’s eyes could be seen peeping out the curtain. After realizing whom it was, a mediocre, straggly man with wild hair and deep circles under his green eyes opened the door.
“Albus, Minerva, what brings you to my neck of the woods?” asked the man, eyeing the two. He then noticed the pink blankets. His eyes widened and he nearly choked. “No, it can’t be. There’s been a mistake. Please tell me it’s not that, anything but that. They’re not...”
Albus held up his hand. “Dear boy, we can’t afford to lose you too, please calm down, Remus. Everything will be all right. May we enter?” Albus asked.
The man named Remus motioned for them to enter. After closing the door behind them, he made his way to the living room. Minerva and Albus sat side-by-side on the long couch while Remus took the armchair opposite them. Minerva took the baby girl from Albus’ hands and rocked her gently. Remus leaned his head back against the chair; he looked ghastly. He had turned pale white and was shaking slightly. Opening his eyes, he looked over at the pink blankets where he knew his goddaughter was hiding.
“Remus, we need to talk about a few things,” stated Dumbledore softly, but sternly. Remus nodded so Dumbledore continued. “Sirius was found in the middle of a street with his wand; twelve muggles are dead, but that’s not all. Not only muggles were in that street.” Albus was staring into Remus’ eyes with a sad expression. He felt sorry for Remus Lupin; he was about to tell him that he has lost all of his best friends—James, Peter, and even Sirius in some ways. Remus nodded, as if knowing what was about to be said. “It was believed that Peter Pettigrew searched for Sirius tonight to kill him for his betrayal against James and Lily. All they found of Pettigrew was his finger. Also, Amelia; she heard that Sirius might have been in trouble. She went after him and got blasted in the crossfire. I’m so sorry, Remus, I know this is difficult for you,” Dumbledore continued.
Silence followed after Dumbledore finished. Remus had tears welling up in his eyes. He couldn’t believe it. Prongs was dead. Lily was dead. Wormtail was dead. Amelia was dead. Padfoot was in Azkaban for causing the deaths. Everything was crumbling around him. He let a few tears escape before wiping them off. McGonagall took a tissue from the inside of her robes and sniffled behind it. She, too, was crying. Remus got out of his chair and knelt down in front of Professor McGonagall, looking at his goddaughter intently. A pale pink hand dropped out of the pink bundles, and Remus reached up, putting his forefinger inside it. The little fist closed around Remus’ finger.
“Albus, what happens to Emily?” asked Remus, looking up. He searched the old man’s face.
“She doesn’t have any living grandparents, Remus. She is your goddaughter, so I thought we might give you a chance to take her. If you do not wish to take responsibility, we understand and will take her to an orphanage first thing tomorrow morning,” stated Dumbledore.
“Of course I’ll take her,” said Remus without thinking.
“She is going to be a great responsibility, Remus, are you absolutely positive?” asked Professor McGonagall.
“I wouldn’t have it any other way, Minerva,” stated Remus determinedly.
“It’s settled then. I will need you to sign a few papers, just saying that you will be her guardian and what not, and we will be on our way,” smiled Dumbledore.
Remus nodded his head and motioned for the old wizard to follow him to the kitchen to sign the papers. McGonagall stayed in the living room with the baby girl sound asleep. Flipping the lights as he went, the tabby looking man sat at the head of the table, Dumbledore sitting on his left. Dumbledore rummaged in his cloak for a second, then pulled out a long stick. With a flick of his wand, some papers, a quill, and ink appeared. Remus looked into Dumbledore’s eyes and had the feeling that he was being x-rayed; like Dumbledore could see right through him. The old wizard gave him a small smile, nodding a bit.
“Sign here and here.” Dumbledore indicated to two lines then pushed the papers towards Remus.
Remus signed the papers, and with the flick of his wand, Dumbledore made the papers once again disappear.
“Is that all?” Remus asked.
“Yes, that will be all for now. I believe the ministry is looking over Amelia’s will and then they will be in touch shortly. Now, I believe we will let you and your goddaughter get some rest. Best wishes and if you were to need anything, please don’t hesitate to send an owl.” The old wizard pushed his chair out and stood up. Walking into the other room, he stated, “Minerva, I think it may be time for us to leave and not intrude on Mr. Lupin any longer.”
Standing up, the petite witch looked over to Lupin and took half a step. Remus met her the rest of the way and took the baby girl in his hands, balancing all of her weight evenly. The tabby wizard walked his guests to the door and bid them a goodnight. He watched as the two disappeared down the dark street. Closing the blinds, Remus Lupin walked up his stairs to his bedroom, flipping lights off as he went.
Pulling out his wand with his right hand, as his left was preoccupied, he waved it. A blur of pink and green scurried around the room, and after a few seconds, the silence prevailed. Trudging over to the pink crib by his bed, he sat the pink bundles down. He pulled a green blanket, which was engraved with ‘Emily J. R. A. S. Black,’ over the side of the crib and tucked Emily into it. Sighing, he sat down on the edge of his bed. Taking off his worn out tennis shoes, he glanced at the clock. It was after 2AM. It’s been a long day, he thought. Turning the lamp by his bed off, he lay back on his pillows and fell asleep to the soft breathing of the other life that he vowed to protect.

Alrighty, I don't know if you're ready for this date... Haha, new post!
After cooling down, Emily glanced at her watch. She had about five minutes left until she was supposed to meet Cedric for their date. Sighing, she stood and put on a smile. She was going to make the best of this day.
Emily arrived two minutes early, but to her surprise, Cedric was already there, waiting for her.
“You’re a bit early,” Emily accused with a smile.
“I couldn’t help myself. I just couldn’t wait to see you,” he said quietly as he walked over to her.
“Uh huh,” she said.
“You know, you’re a little early too, sweetheart,” Cedric whispered. “Maybe you were eager to see me too,” he said seductively.
Emily chuckled. “Well, sweetheart, what can I say? I just simply couldn’t stay away,” she whispered, moving closer to him, her lips centimeters from his.
“You shouldn’t tease me,” Cedric said.
Emily sighed. “I guess you caught me,” she said as she moved her mouth away from him. He groaned quietly. Emily giggled.
“You think that’s funny, do you?” Cedric asked. He ran at Emily and picked her up, his arms around her waist. He started tickling her. Emily screamed for him to stop between laughing.
“CedRIC!” Emily screeched, laughing madly. He finally let her go and they bent over, breathing heavily. “You’ll pay for that later,” she declared.
“Doubtful,” he snickered.
“Just wait,” she promised.
“Looks like I’ll be waiting for a while,” he chuckled.
“That’s right, keep talking.”
Cedric chuckled some more as he led Emily out into the sun. They sat down on a stone bench and talked for hours at a time. Over the course of their conversations, Emily ended up sprawled across the bench, her head in Cedric’s lap. Her hair was laid out behind her, draping over Cedric’s right leg and part of the bench. He played with her silky, soft, red hair as she tried telling him jokes.
“Have you heard the joke about the tornado?” Emily giggled. She had started laughing before the she could even finish the joke, but then again, that’s how it always was.
“No,” chuckled Cedric.
Emily put her hand over her eyes to block out the sun as she looked up at Cedric. “It will—blow—you—away,” she said through fits of giggles. Cedric laughed lightly at her extremely corny joke.
“You do realize that it wasn’t even funny, right?” asked a voice in front of Emily and Cedric. It was Angelina. Emily didn’t respond, but looked back at Cedric. “You couldn’t even get it out without laughing, you’re the worst with telling jokes,” Angelina insulted. But Emily just lay there without responding.
“I thought it was extremely funny, and I think she told it quite well,” Cedric said defensively as he glanced down at Emily. She smiled at him. “Do you have any more jokes?” he asked cheerfully.
“Have you heard the joke about the cookie?” Emily asked, giggling. Angelina huffed and stalked off.
“Nope,” Cedric said with a grin.
“It’s okay, it was pretty crummy,” Emily said with the wave of her hand. Cedric and Emily laughed happily. And then she continued telling him really corny jokes until it was lunchtime.
Emily stood up and started for the Great Hall when Cedric caught her arm and pulled her back. “You’re going the wrong way,” he chuckled.
“What? But I thought we were going to lunch?” she asked in confusion.
“We are,” Cedric said with a smile. “Lunch is waiting for us by the lake,” he said.
Emily looked back at the lake. She then noticed a picnic basket under her tree. She started breathing heavily. They couldn’t eat there—that was her and George’s tree.
*Alrighty, it's just a short one All of the corny jokes, I got from my best friend, Ruth. We're really corny, as you can tell... Haha, anyways, let me know watchya think
Hello Emily, great post. I'll be watching for your next post.

Haha, that would be funny to watch. I'm sure it would end with a shouting match between George and Emily though
Emily looked back at the lake. She then noticed a picnic basket under her tree. She started breathing heavily. They couldn’t eat there—that was her and George’s tree.
“Can-can we eat over there?” Emily asked quietly. She pointed across the lake, on the opposite side, far away from their tree.
“Er, sure, I guess,” Cedric said quietly. “I just always thought you liked the other tree, I mean, you always sat under there,” Cedric explained.
Emily nodded. “The other side has better shading,” she lied. How was she supposed to explain the significance of that tree?
After that awkward moment, Cedric and Emily made their way to the opposite side of the lake. Cedric summoned the picnic basket and they ate their lunch. Emily was finishing eating a strawberry when Cedric looked over at her.
“What?” she finally asked.
“If only I hadn’t used that one line,” he chuckled, shaking his head. Emily giggled slightly. “Tell me why,” he whispered.
“I don’t know what you mean,” she said quietly.
“Oh please, you know what I’m talking about. The shading is obviously better over there, under that tree. Tell me why you nearly had a panic attack when I told you we were eating over there,” Cedric said.
Emily swallowed hard. “I just—I don’t know,” Emily whispered. She buried her face in her hands. Cedric scooted over beside her and held her gently.
“Don’t worry, I think I know why,” he whispered. Emily let out a sob.
“I’m so sorry, Cedric,” Emily whispered. “I should have been honest to you. The truth is that I’m in no shape to be dating right now. I’m damaged right now, and you deserve someone whole.” Cedric tightened his hold on her shoulders.
“Shhh, it’s okay, Emily. Don’t cry. I knew you were damaged, but I was hoping that maybe I could fill the hole. I guess that nobody but he can fill that hole. I get it now,” Cedric said quietly.
After lunch, Emily and Cedric split ways. Cedric went and hung out with his friends while Emily went back to her dormitory. She collapsed in her bed and stayed there for the remainder of the day.
“Emily?” Hermione asked quietly that night.
“Hmm,” Emily responded from her bed. She was facing the other way, curled up in a ball.
“Professor Lupin is outside the portrait hole. He wants to talk to you,” Hermione said quietly. Emily rolled over and got out of bed. Without another word, she went down the stairs and out the portrait hole.
“Emily!” Remus exclaimed as she walked past him to a staircase. She sat at the bottom while he joined her.
“Hey, Remus,” Emily said quietly in a monotone voice.
“Emily, you need to snap out of this,” Remus said.
“It’s not something I can just ‘snap out of’, Remus,” Emily said quietly.
“Well, try, because everybody is worried about you,” Remus said slightly loudly.
“Remus, do you think that everyone has a soul mate?” Emily asked quietly.
Remus studied her. She was looking at the wall opposite them, as if she were bored. “I think there is someone for everyone, yes,” Remus said slowly.
“What if you let that someone slip through your fingers, Remus? Then what?” she asked slowly.
“Emily, boys can’t make you feel this way—like everything will go downhill for you just because you’re not with him,” Remus said. Remus put his hand on her knee and she grabbed it tightly.
“What if it’s a feeling you can’t control, Rems?” Emily asked as a tear splattered to the floor. Remus pulled her into his side and squeezed her shoulder affectionately.
“You’re grounded, Emily,” Remus said.
“What? What for? From what?” Emily asked, shocked.
“You’re grounded because I said so. And from boys,” he chuckled.
“I actually don’t mind this punishment,” Emily sighed.

What a shame this happened. It sounds like Cedric had a fun day planned. I feel badly for both of them.

I wonder if he includes himself in that statement. Does he think there is someone for him?
