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.
New post time! Here's the remainder of the reception
“Oh, stop it, you guys,” Emily hushed. The three girls giggled as they made their way back outside.
As Emily walked into the tent, she saw George’s eyes go wide, which caused them to erupt into another fit of giggles. His eyes softened as he started toward her, but the Minister stopped him with his words.
“It is now time for the father-daughter dance,” he said into the microphone. Remus came toward her with a huge grin on his face.
“May I have this dance?” he asked shyly.
“Well, you are my daddy, Rems, at least you’re one of them,” she giggled. Remus chuckled as he took her hands and led her to the middle of the dance floor. She wrapped one hand around his shoulder while her other was held tightly in his hand. The music started playing as they glided around the floor. Emily recognized the song immediately.
“Oh, Rems, I’m so glad you picked this one,” she whispered as she laid her head on his chest, tears seeping through her lids.
“I know, Ems, me too,” he whispered back, his breath tickling her neck.
Look at the two of you dancing that way
Lost in the moment and each other’s face
So much in love you’re alone in this place
Like there’s nobody else in the world
I was enough for her not long ago
I was her number one
She told me so
“You still are, Rems. You always will be,” she whispered. Remus smiled against her hair.
And she still means the world to me
Just so you know
So be careful when you hold my girl
Time changes everything
Life must go on
And I’m not gonna stand in your way
But I loved her first and I held her first
And a place in my heart will always be hers
From the first breath she breathed
When she first smiled at me
I knew the love of a father runs deep
And I prayed that she’d find you someday
But it’s still hard to give her away
I loved her first
“Remus,” Emily said as she leaned back to look at him. “When are you going to ask Tonks to dance?”
“I don’t think that’s a good idea, Ems,” he said quietly.
“Why not?”
“Because—”
“Remus John Lupin, she likes you, and I know you like her. So, what is the problem?”
“The problem is that I’m too old and too poor for her. She deserves someone better,” he sighed.
“There is no one better I can think of. She wants you, not some young idiot. And you’re not poor. Mum left you quite a bit of money,” Emily accused.
“Yes, but I was thinking of giving that money to you and George and the family you were going to start.”
“Well, thank you for the thought, but George and I are good on money. He has a fortune from the shop and I have Mum’s money, not to mention half of Dad’s. For me, your daughter, the bride, will you ask her to dance tonight, at least once? And it has to be a slow dance.” Emily puckered out her lower lip in a pout. Remus chuckled.
“Fine, but only once,” he sighed.
“Good,” she said happily as she rested her head back on his chest.
How could that beautiful woman with you
Be the same freckled face kid that I knew
The one that I read all those fairy tales to
And tucked into bed all those nights
And I knew the first time I saw you with her
It was only a matter of time
But I loved her first and I held her first
And a place in my heart will always be hers
From the first breath she breathed
When she first smiled at me
I knew the love of a father runs deep
And I prayed that she’d find you someday
But it’s still hard to give her away
I loved her first
From the first breath she breathed
When she first smiled at me
I knew the love of a father runs deep
Someday you might know what I’m going through
When a miracle smiles up at you
I loved her first
The music came to an end and Emily let go of Remus. He kissed her cheek and told her he loved her. George started making his way over to her, but Fred beat him there.
“Sorry, Georgie, but you just aren’t quick enough,” he sniggered as he took Emily’s hand.
“Right, well you better keep your hands where I can see them, Fredrick,” George said seriously before cracking a grin.
“So, how is my little sister doing this fine evening?” Fred asked.
“Pretty amazing. And how’s my big brother doing?” she asked with a grin.
“Pretty good,” he chuckled.
Emily danced with Fred, Harry, Lee, and Mr. Weasley, before she got back to George.
“So, did you cast Avada Kedavra when you walked in?” he whispered as he wrapped his arms around her waist, bringing her closer to him.
“No, why?” she asked.
“Because you made my heart stop beating,” he chuckled.
Emily giggled while he kissed her neck and cheek. “I’ve missed you,” she confessed.
“I missed you too. I’m not going to lie, Ems. I got pretty jealous of everyone,” he sighed.
“You shouldn’t. At the end of the night, I’m yours,” she whispered.
“Forever and Always,” he added.
“Forever and Always,” she agreed.
*I Loved Her First was composed by J. Aldridge and E. Park and performed by Heartland. And the Avada Kedavra bit was a Harry Potter pick up line (it's a group on Facebook, believe it or not) from Facebook.

New post! It's shorter than usual, but it's the end of the chapter...
Emily and George decided to go to Amelia’s family’s cabin for their honeymoon. It had been passed down from generation to generation. And so, when her mother died, the cabin got passed down to Emily. It was perched on top of a mountain in Greenland. Emily and Remus used to go there every year for Thanksgiving until school started. Their bags were packed and they were getting ready to Apparate.
“You two have fun,” Remus said as he hugged Emily. “But not too much fun,” he said as he shook George’s hand.
George laughed nervously as Emily slapped Remus’ arm. “Oh, shut it,” Emily told him.
“Yeah, have fun,” Fred sniggered. George hit him upside the head playfully.
“Have a good time,” Mrs. Weasley said after she scolded Fred.
“Yes, yes, have a great time,” Mr. Weasley said with a smile.
“Thank you,” Emily said quietly. George kissed her hair and she giggled.
“We, er, better be off,” George said as he chuckled.
“Bye, guys!” Emily said as she hugged Ginny.
Emily and George, with their luggage, Apparated to Greenland. They arrived on the front porch of the small cottage. It was just as Emily remembered it. The rocking chairs and porch swing were in the exact same spot and the Welcome Home mat was still sitting by the front door. Emily took the key out of her pocket and placed it in the door. She twisted the doorknob and pushed it open. She started to walk through it, but George caught her hand.
“Wait here,” George whispered as he went through the door with the luggage.
“And exactly why can’t I come in?” Emily asked.
“Just wait a sec, Miss Impatient,” George chuckled. He came back with his hands empty.
“What was the point of that?” she asked with a giggle.
“So I could do this,” he said as he swooped down and picked her up, literally knocking her off her feet. Emily giggled as he walked her over the threshold.
“Mr. Weasley, why I do believe you just swept me off my feet,” she giggled.
“Well, Mrs. Weasley, you flatter me. So, now that we’re alone—” he said, letting the sentence hang there as he took her through the cottage and into the master suite.
“Now that we’re alone—?” Emily asked.
“I have a few ideas,” he whispered as he gently placed her on the bed.
“Hmm, I’d like to hear these ideas,” she whispered.
“I can show you better than I can tell you,” he whispered as he knelt down to her.
Emily pulled him on top of her by his tie. She giggled as he started kissing her neck and jaw line. “Make love to me,” she whispered. George leaned back slightly to look at her, and without another word, he started kissing her passionately, causing those famous butterflies to erupt within her.
