brylee nephele lupin was just a child, like the rest of them. but the future rested on her shoulders the moment she picked up the time turner in the department of mysteries. every step she took was being watched. every sound she made. every single thing she did.
the fates watched the girl dig into her suitcase in her room that night after drinking the littlest bit felix felicis that harry potter had left behind for their little merry band. they watched the girl stuff into her skirt pocket and rush out of the door upon hearing something—someone—yelling. they watched as she met up with the rest of her friends, luna lovegood, ginny weasley, neville longbottom, hermione granger and ron weasley. together the six of them patrolled the hogwarts corridors till late night, waiting for any sign of trouble.
the six of them patrolled as much of the school as they could, but six could only do so much in a school of six-seven floors. what they didn't know was that many to most members of the order of the phoenix were present that night in the school. ranging from the oldest kid to the brylee's own parents, they were all there that night.
a clock ticked somewhere close by and rang a time late at night. a scurry of something, a footstep through her off. there wasn't anyone else on the seventh floor with brylee, so what made the sound? she heard a cackle and hard stepping of heels and then the quiet slam of the door.
brylee held her breath. someone—or rather a group of someones—was there. and though brylee felt lucky from the felix felicis, she wasn't dumb enough to try and stop the intruders on her own. so she quickly turned the corner and pressed herself into the wall as she scurried to an empty classroom to send a message to the rest of the group patrolling the floors below. just as she was exiting the classroom, she bumps into two people she did not expect to see that night.
her parents.
remus lupin and maeve theo-lupin were a part of the order patrol that was responsible for watching over the school that night. the two of them were just surprised to see their eldest daughter roaming the school halls. they quickly conversed, exchanging the reasons they were all there that night when they heard the shattering of glass.
as most good parents would, remus and maeve tried to keep their daughter from going with them to see what was going on. but they knew that once she put her mind to something, brylee lupin was an unstoppable force to reckon with. so together, three out of the five members of their family ventured toward the great hall, where they'd first heard the sound, just below them.

the battle was over before it even began. dumbledore was dead. professor snape, well just snape now since he'd killed the headmaster of the school, was gone along with draco malfoy and several other death eaters who'd entered the school. many members of the order were injured, some less severe than others. brylee had gotten lucky to have scraped by without any major injuries. a couple cuts here and there but those would heal in time.
