Harry Potter One Shots

(Y/n's P.O.V)

When I was just eight years old, my Dad, Sirius Black, went to Azkaban, and my Papa, Remus Lupin, couldn't care for me. He didn't have money, and not many people wanted to hire a werewolf. Besides, he had no time to work when he was looking after me. He decided the best place for me was Hogwarts.

He left me with Headmaster Dumbledore who raised me as his Granddaughter, Deputy Headmistress McGonagall had always seen my fathers and their friends as her children, they even often called her Mum so she took me in as her Granddaughter as well. The other professors became like my Aunts and Uncles.

When my Eleventh birthday rolled around I got my Hogwarts acceptance letter. Grandma Minni took me to get my stuff, she took me to the platform on the first.

Every holiday I remained at Hogwarts, that was until I met Charlie Weasley. We were both prefects. We were often on the same route. We started talking getting to know each other. We became friends and eventually more. We started dating in our 6th year. I knew from the get-go he wanted to go to Romania and he knew I wanted to stay at Hogwarts. When we left Hogwarts I studied hard to be a healer working under Madam Poppy Pomfrey.

Harry Potter started my first year as a healer. That year, Poppy said she had the most students in the Hospital wing then ever before. She recounted that statement the next year when the Chamber of Secrets was opened. That brings us to this year.

I had gone to Romania to visit Charlie for the holidays, we take turns visiting each-other when we can, I go their every holiday and he visits whenever its quiet in Romania, generally when they have the whole crew on hand. I returned two days late for term commencement.

I hadn't been keeping up with the news in England while I was gone so I had a bit of a shock when I returned.

I had arrived just after breakfast heading straight to my room to rest and recover. I took a nap and waited before dinner. When dinner rolled around I went to the Great Hall. Grandpa Albus had told me we had a new Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor who like me was a werewolf and would need my help. I walked into the Great Hall greeting students as I made my way up to the Professor's table. I took the only free chair, sitting next to Grandma Minni, and an older looking man, he seemed very tired, deep set tired eyes, that seemed familiar.

"Hi, I'm Y/n Lupin-Black one of the healers here, you must be the new Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor." I greet him with a smile.

"Y/n?" He had a sad look in his eyes.

"Yes, Y/n Lupin-Black." I repeat.

"Dumbledore didn't mention you were still here. I thought after Hogwarts you would have left." He said reaching over and taking my hand.

"Umm. Do I know you?" I ask pulling my hand back.

"I guess not. It's been thirteen years. I'm your Father." He looked hurt when I pulled away.

"Papa?" As realization hit me my eyes widened filling with tears.

"Let's take this somewhere more private." Grandma Minni suggested.

She led us out of the Great Hall into a room behind the Professors table.

"I can't believe it's really you." Papa's voice cracked as he said it.

"I can't believe your here. I've been waiting for this day for thirteen years. I waited for the day you were going to come back for me." I take a mental image of him, his scars, the way his eyes seem to have golden flecks in them, his face pale, his brown hair messy.

"I wanted to come back to you, I never wanted to leave you in the first place. I had no money, I couldn't care for you. I got odd jobs here and there but none lasted long enough for me to be able to raise you on my pay. I couldn't come visit, if I had I wouldn't have left without you. I thought of you every day. I wrote to you every year on your birthday, your letters are in my chamber I'll give them to you later." He pulled me into another hug.

"I understand Papa! We don't have to worry about that anymore though, your here and we don't have to be apart again!" I smile sadly.

"Y/n!" Someone calls my name.

I turn to find Charlie walking towards me.

"Charlie! What are you doing here?" I ask wrapping my arms around him.

"Deputy Headmistress McGonagall thought you might need a stable shoulder to lean on." He told me burying his face in my neck kissing it gently.

"She was right as always!" I pull back kissing his lips.
