To The Moon and Back | Remus Lupin's Daughter

38. New year - Astra

"Hey harry" I smiled up at my adopted brother with a bright smile as I take a seat beside him on the sofa in our small living area. In the corner artemis and hermione were playing a round of wizards chest under with Ron teaching artemis how to play.

Daddy and papa had been gone for hours.  Daddy seemed stressed when they were leaving.

"Whats up kiddo?" Harry asked me  watching me cautiously.

"Do you know where daddy and papa went?" I asked nervously unconsciously biting my lip nervously.

"They had to go visit someone" he told me, though I'd already figured out that much so the information wasn't anything new or overly helpful.

"Do you think it had to do with my mother or the mean rat?" I wonder. I was scared they were hurt cause it'd been so long. What if the bad man got them like he'd gotten me?

"Theyll be fine i promise" Harry sad smiling only the smile.didnt reach his eyes, a give away he didn't know whether to believe his own words or not. "What have you been reading?"

He gestured to the book on my lap that id gotten off Minnie for Christmas. Quidditch through the ages. It was quickly becoming my favourite book.

"Just about quidditch. Minnie got it from me" I smiled cheekily causing him to laugh at me. Snatching the book and looking through it.

"Well, its still early enough, I've the new firebolt your dads got me for Christmas, why dont you grab yours and we can go flying for a bit" harry asked.

"Did you say flying?" Artemis asked Fromm her soot across the room.

"Do you really think that's a good idea harry?" Hermione asked nerviously, turning to look atbharrybwith concern "its just, pettigrew is still on the loose and the dementors. We promised professor lupin and black to look after the girls until they got back. We shouldn't rome the castle unsupervised at this time"

"Honestly 'mione, what's the harm? We've all been stuck in here for hours?"

"Please Hermione, I wanna play quidditch! I meet tin learn as much as I can so I can make house team next year" I begged, giving her my chest pupoy eyes, after a minute Artemis joined my plea to the older girl as the boys tried to hold back their own laughs.

"Come on Hermione, it'll be fine. Well leave a note note first Sirius and lupin" harry stated taking out some ink and parchment "besides, that council that's been tutoring Astra and Artemis is always roaming the grounds, I'm.sure if we spot them they'll.watch the pitch as we play and then well.have adult supervision problem solved."

Harry's logic seemed to win Hermione over because we soon found ourselves running down to the pitch. Ron rannoff tongryffindor tower time grab his own broom. When we all.reached the quidditch pitch, harry grabbed a chest that houses a wuaffe, bludgers and a snitch ready to set up for a friendly game.

"What do we have here?"  A friendly voice asked from behind us.

Turning around I spotted a friendly red head and her viking friend. "Anne! Ragnar!" I chimed running towards them time give them each a hug.

"Good to see you too kiddo but what has you all out at this time, isn't it getting a little late?" Anne laughed, watching as Hermione took a seat in the stands, a book in her hands.

"Harry's teaching us how to play quidditch properly now that we can fly well" Artemis chimed from.behind me running up and slinging her arm over my shoulder "lil, cousin and I are gonna make our house teams in our first year just like harry! I can sense it"

Her excitement caused the adults to laugh wholenheartedly. "Is that so?" Ragnar asked playfully ruffling her hair. "And what position will you be playing?"
