A werewolf, a dog and a little girl

August 1996

You were walking down the street in Godric's Hollow. When approaching the park you remembered the day you and Harry climbed a tree and  got stuck, all those years ago. Thankfully nowadays James didn't have to climb up to get the two of you down. Though the memory of free falling through the air due to the tree branch breaking, made shivers down your spine. Maybe it was safest to keep both feet on the ground, except for quidditch of course. Nothing could make you quit quidditch!

Then you thought about all the evening strolls together with your dads, the playground where you and Harry always ran around together with some muggle kids from town and of every time they picked you up after a sleepover at the Potter's and you fell asleep in the car so they had to carry you inside the house.
All those childhood memories seemed so distant now, how did you end up here?

Last night you had snuck out to a party and got caught coming home after midnight, drunk. Remus was furious with you and had yelled, a lot. He was disappointed and held a long lecture about underage drinking. You and Sirius on the other hand shared the same temper which made both of you really passionated people, but it could also cause things to get out of control, like this time.
After a heated argument this morning between the two of you, things got out of hand. Both of you said things you didn't actually mean.

[Flashback]
J: I'm 16 years old I'm not your little girl anymore!

S: Then prove it and stop acting like a baby! If you think that you could sneak out to a party and come home DRUNK without getting caught then you're dumber than I thought.

J: Oh yeah, you really think so?

S: I really do! You're grounded for the rest of the summer. You're going to be home by eight every evening until we can trust you again and I'm not even starting on what will happen if we ever catch you drinking again!

J: I HATE YOU! you had screamed, running up the stairs and slammed your door shut. Sirius heart broke a little when hearing those words coming from his own daughter.

You needed to get away from everything so you had climbed out your window, leaving it all behind.

R: Go talk to her Padfoot! If you just say how sorry you are she'll forgive you, Remus said and looked at his husband.

S: You really think so? said Sirius. He looked like he was about to cry, but refused to let any tears fall. Like father like daughter. (A/n: reference to December 1995)

R: I know so! Remus said and gave him a push in the direction of the stairs. So Sirius went upstairs to try and talk to you. He knocked on the door.

S: Pup it's me, can I come in? Sirius asked calmly, not wanting to make the situation worse.

S: Julie? He opened the door only to find your room empty and the window widely open.

S: What the... MOONY! Sirius shouted. Remus hurried upstairs as fast as his hip allowed him, to see what was going on.

S: She's gone out the window! Sirius said. Fear was growing in his grey eyes.

R: Oh Merlin, that child! Remus said and put his head in his hands.

R: But she'll come home! A few hours of alone time and she'll be back home again! Remus said, trying to convince himself.

S: I hope you're right! Sirius answered and gazed out the open window.

The urge to go to Potter's house was strong. Lily and James had always felt like your second parents and Harry was your brother by anything but blood. Both here and at Hogwarts, you always looked out for each other. Though you didn't want your dads to find you, not yet.
