The morning after last nights events, Samantha woke up early and was down stairs sitting in the living room watching as a fire burns in the fire place.

She had a blanket wrapped around her shoulders and she was holding a cup of coffee in her hands, occasionally taking a sip of it.

She enjoyed the warmth that the fire brought to her skin, and she enjoyed listening to the few cracks of the wood every now and then.

"Why are you up darling?"

Samantha jumps lightly turning her head to see Remus standing against the doorway looking at her curiously.

"Can't sleep." She whispers turning back to the fire.

Remus sighs and moves to join her on the ground, he struggled slightly to sit down since he was sore from the full moon that happened just a few days ago.

"I'm sure the coffee doesn't help." Remus jokes and Samantha smiles lightly turning her attention to the man she viewed as a father figure.

"No im sure it doesn't, but I does help keep me awake." Samantha says gently and Remus nods his head agreeing with her.

"Fred and I got in a fight, a bad one at that." She whispers sadly looking down at the coffee cup in her hands.

"What did you fight about?" Remus questions gently.

"He says I always put Harry first, that I always choose him. He's mad that I didn't let him just go to Saint Mungos to see his dad right away." Samantha whispers and Remus frowns knowing that there was more that was bothering her.

"What else?"

"He said I didn't know what it was like to be scared for a parent because mine are already dead, but to be honest I would rather be scared for my parents life's everyday instead of not having them at all." She whispers laughing lightly but Remus knew there was no humor in her laugh.

"Darling-"

"I didn't ask for this life, I didn't ask for my parents to be dead, or for my brother to be the chosen one. I didn't choose to take care of Harry all my life, I didn't ask for any of this and yet Fred acts like I had some sort of a choice." Samantha says tears welling up in her eyes and Remus wraps an arm around her shoulders pulling her to his side.

"I'm sure he didn't mean it in the way he said it." Remus whispers and Samantha sniffles her brown eyes now looking into the fire.

"I just wish my life was normal."

"Me too Darling, me too."

After a while Samantha and Remus ended up falling asleep on the floor of the living room.

And when Sirius came downstairs he couldn't help but smile noticing his best friend and god daughter asleep on the floor.

Sirius walks over and easily picks Samantha up from the ground and she groans slightly before cuddling closer to Sirius's chest.

He carefully walks up the stairs and instead of placing her back in her room he walks to the twins room knocking on the door gently.

The door opened to reveal a very sleepy George and Sirius smiles lightly at him.

"She fell asleep downstairs, I figured she wouldn't want to wake up in her room alone." Sirius whispers and George nods his head taking his best friend from Sirius and into his arms.

"Ill put her in my bed." George whispers and Sirius nods his head turning around and going back downstairs.

George sighs and closes the door walking over and laying Samantha down in his bed pulling his covers over her body.
