Book One: My Love Always

Chapter Twenty: Final

Rosalie’s P.O.V
It has been a few years since what happened and Petunia allowed me to take Harry out every week and since both him and Edeline had both just turned Nine, I decided to take them both out for Ice Cream and I was getting ready before making sure Edeline was ready to go, “are you ready to go darling.” I said as I walked into her room to see her brushing her hair, “just about mum.” she said before putting down her brushing and I grabbed her hand, “now I’m done.” she said and the both of us headed downstairs, “you guys off to see Harry?” Remus asked us as he was reading a book on the couch, “yeah, how are you feeling?” I asked him and he sighed a little, “I’ll be fine alright. You two run off.” he said to me, and I kissed the top of his head, “I love you darling.” I said to him, “I love you too.” he said before hugging Edeline, “have fun alright and I’ll see you later alright.” he said to her and she smiled, “ok daddy. I love you.” she said to him before we said goodbye before leaving the house and eventually we made it to Petunia’s place and soon knocked on the door and it revealed Petunia on the other side, “good afternoon girls, come on in.” she said and we both walked inside, “Harry will be around soon, he’s just finishing up.” she told me, “how have you guys been doing?” I asked her, “we’ve been doing well, how about you and Edeline?” She said, “we’re doing well, thank you.” I told her before we heard someone rush into the room and saw that it was Harry and I smiled, “hi Aunt Rosie.” he said, “hey Harry, how are you?” I asked him, “I’m good.” He said with a smile, “I’ll bring him back at the usual time.” I told Petunia before we left and as soon as we did, I spoke up, “why don’t we go and get some Ice Cream. How does that sound?” I asked them and they both smiled, “yay” Edeline and Harry said and the same time before we managed to finally get to a small Ice Cream parlor not far from Petunia’s place and throughout the rest of the afternoon, spending time together and had a good time before it was time to bring Harry back to Petunia and Vernon’s, “do I really have to go back Aunt Rosie. I don’t like it there.” Harry said to me and I felt bad for him, “I’m sorry sweetie but unfortunately, you can’t stay with me alright. Not yet anyways, maybe when your older you can have that choice alright, But other than that, there is nothing I can do about it.” I said to him and he sighed and nodded, “ok.” he said before we eventually made it back and before I left with Edeline, I wanted to talk to Petunia for a moment, “uh, Petunia, do you mind if I talk to you for a moment?” I asked her before we walked into the kitchen, “look, this has been bugging me for years and I know you weren’t fond about what your sister was when you found out that she was a witch and that Harry turned out to be the same, but I just want you to know that it wouldn’t be fair to Harry if you kept all of this from him. He deserves to know Petunia.” I told her and she thought about it, “I know he does but how do I tell him the truth? He will never believe me about all of this Magic nonsense. We already lied to him about his parents death.” she told me, “then I’ll be there when you tell him, if I’m there to confirm it he will know you’re not lying other than that, I don’t know how I would tell him about James and Lily but I’m sure he would figure out the truth somehow.” I told her and she thought about it before sighing, “alright fine, fine, I’ll tell him. But Vernon can’t know about this yet.” she said and after talking and saying goodbye to Harry, both Edeline and I had left.

By the time Edeline and I made it home, I noticed that Remus was sleeping on the couch and I smiled a little before Edeline and I decided to make some chocolate chip cookies and we had a good time together doing it and just about we were just about done making them, we heard someone walk into the kitchen and saw that it was Remus, “hello darling, how did you sleep?” I said to him, “good. What are you two up to?” he asked with a smile on his face, “making cookies.” Edeline said to him as she raised her hands and he chuckled as he walked up to us and helped us finish with the cookies before we put them into the oven before we cleaned up the kitchen and throughout the rest of the day, the three of us just spent time together had had a good time until it got late and after dinner was over, before Edeline and I cleaned up and once we’re done cleaning up the Kitchen, I made sure she had done some of her studies before getting ready for bed for the night and once she was done and got washed up, the both of us read together in her room for a while before I noticed Remus standing in the doorway and I smiled at him and he came over and sat down with us for a while until Edeline eventually fell asleep that night and soon after, both Remus and I left the room and made it back down stairs, “how are you feeling love?” I asked him, “the moon is close.” he said as he sat down on the couch and rubbed the back of his neck and I sat down next to him, “do you need anything, some tea?” I asked him as I gently rubbed his back, “that would lovely, thank you love.” he said and I kissed his cheek and managed to make him some tea and the both of us talked for a while until the both of us had decided to go to bed for the night.  

It has been a couple of years and it was the day before Edeline’s 11th birthday and she had recently gotten her Hogwarts Letter and today I planned on taking her to Diagon Alley and once the both of us were ready, Remus came around and came with us and we eventually left the house and made it to Diagon Alley and I noticed the look on Edeline’s face causing me to smile, “I love it here mum.” she said before she rushed to one of the store windows, “we get to ride brooms?” she asked and both Remus and I chuckled, “yes you do, your uncle James and I used to play a game called Quidditch that involves the use of Broom.” I told her and she smiled some more, “does Hogwarts have it. I want to play it when I get there.” she said and I chuckled, “yes they do, but you would have to be on a team to play it.” I told her before we continued with getting what she needed and the first thing we were going to get was her wand but before we did, we bumped into Hagrid and Harry, “hey Hagrid. Harry.” I said to them, “I see you’ve gotten your Hogwarts Letter as well.” I said to Harry and he nodded, “do you mind staying here with him while I go and do something real quick?” Hagrid asked and I nodded, “yeah for sure.” I said to him, “good to see you Lupin.” Hagrid said before walking away, “let's get you two your wands.” I said before we all walked inside to see that no one was there, “hello. Hello.” Harry said as him and Edeline walked up to the counter and soon after, an older man slid on a ladder and saw that it was Mr. Ollivander, “I wondered when I’d be seeing you Mr. Potter and Miss Lupin.” Mr. Ollivander said before getting down the ladder and both Harry and Edeline just looked at each other before Mr. Ollivander spoke up again, “it seems only yesterday that both of your parents were here buying their first wands.” Ollivander said and I smiled a little remembering the day and saw Ollivander with two boxes in his hands and soon gave them their wands, “well give it a wave” Ollivander said to the both of them and they and they had done so causing us all to jump a little, “apparently not.”Ollivander said and after a few wands, both Harry and Edeline finally found the wands for them and it was as if the entire room changed, “very curious.” Ollivander said and I furrowed my brows a little and looked at Remus, “sorry, but what’s Curious?” Harry asked, “yeah, what just happened?” Edeline asked soon after, “I remember every Wand I’ve ever sold Mr. Potter and Miss. Lupin. It so happens that the Phoenix whose tail feather resides in your Wands gave another two, just two others. It is curious that you two should be destined for these wands when their brother gave you Mr. Potter, that Scar.” Ollivander said and I began to feel uneasy about it as I knew who he was talking about and I held Remus’s hand a little tighter, “and who owned that wand?” Harry asked, “we do not speak his name, the wand chooses the Witch and Wizard Mr. Potter and Miss. Lupin, it’s not always clear why, but I think it is clear that we can expect great things from either of you. After all, he who must not be named did great things, terrible, but great.” Ollivander said to them before hearing someone knock on the window and looked to see that it was Hagrid with an Owl and I smiled a little, “Harry, Harry, Happy Birthday.” he said, “oh that reminds me, I got something for you. it's not much but it’s something.” I said as I gave him a card and some candy that I had gotten earlier before we bumped into them, “thank you Aunt Rosie.” he said before we had gone on with the rest of the day and when it came to leaving for Hogwarts, Remus and I managed to take Harry and Edeline to the train after Hagrid had to Leave and I cried a little watching them leave for Hogwarts, “it seems only yesterday we had gotten on the train.” I said to Remus, “I know and I miss it.” he said and eventually the both of us had gone home and spent our time alone together as much as we could.

Edeline was sorted into Gryffindor and when Christmas came around, Edeline had written prior as she wanted to stay with Harry for the Holidays and I managed to send him James’s Invisibility Cloak that I kept for him and written a letter along with it hoping that Harry would use it wisely, “who’s the letter from?” Remus asked, “It's from Edeline, she says she wants to stay at the school with Harry.” I said to him and I managed to send Edeline’s and the rest of Harry’s presents to the school along with the cloak hoping that they would like them and throughout the rest of the year, both Remus and I just spent as much time together as we could since he was always working at the bookstore and because of the Transformations, we don’t get to as much as we would want but we manage to try as much as we can throughout the time we had alone and during those alone times were some of the best we’ve ever had. 

THE END, UNTIL NEXT TIME.
