Those Twinkling Eyes

Chapter 1

It was the month after my little godson was born. Me and Lily were laughing in the sitting room of her house. It was getting late and I decided to head home. Lily let me take little Harry with her. I had a bad feeling about leaving them alone. I walk quickly to my house and lay little Harry down in his bassinet. 

The next day I bring Harry back home. That night I hear terrible screams coming from the Potters' house. I run as fast as I can in time to see James and Lily dead on the floor. But my godson is still in his crib. He now has a lighting scar. I touched it and saw He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named kill James then Lily. He tried to kill Harry with the forbidden curse but failed. 

I grab Harry and run to my house I pack up all my belongings and apparate to Moony's house in tears.

"oh Foxy" he says, "What happened??!!" "James and Lily, their gone! You-Know-Who did it! He killed them Remus, he killed them!" Remus runs up and hugs me. I sob into his shirt "W-We have to bring harry to my  dad! he will know what to do!"

Quickly we apparate to My dad's office at Hogwarts. "D-Daddy! he killed them he killed them!" I sob. "Honey, who killed who?" he looks to Remus desperately for an answer I can stop crying enough to answer him. Remus gestures towards the little boy in my arms.

"Voldemort killed James and Lily, Albus. He gave Harry the scar when the killing curse failed." he said solemnly. "we didn't know what to do with Harry so we brought him here." The normal twinkle in Dumbledore's eyes had vanished. "I believe Diana, that you now have full custody of Harry unless you wish otherwise." "Please daddy, let me keep him!" I begged and begged. 

"now, now honey. you have full custody of harry and I wouldn't want it any other way. Both of you, please, stay here tonight. I don't want you around with Him about." Just then my godmother burst into the room. "Oh dear, is it true Albus, are they dead?" one glance around the room said it all. Little Harry in Diana's arms and everyone had a silent tear trickling down their tired faces.

Me and Remus settled down in our old common room. No one was here because it was summer. 

Oh, I remember that night well. It was the saddest day of my life. From that point on, I've raised Harry as my own, I've taught him magic and Remus visits frequently. We are the only current Marauders around these days. Sirius is in Azkaban because he was blamed for James' and Lily's death. Peter ran away and me and Remus stayed put.

 Soon it will be Harry's 11th birthday. I'm so excited for him to get his Hogwarts letter! Oh, Lily and James would've been so proud of him! Me and Moony miss them so much.

 Soon after the Potters' death, we handed over the Marauders' map to Filch. We made him promise that he will let the next trouble makers in the castle steal it from him. I have a feeling that they did.

Their was a loud thump on the window. "I'll get it Mum!" Harry has taken to calling me Mum and Remus Uncle Moony. I hear a loud squeal from the kitchen. "MUM MUM IT'S MY HOGWARTS LETTER!" I laughed excitedly and told him not to open it until Remus gets here.
