Remus picked up his daughter, and Sirius held onto his arm as they did side-along apparation to the Potter residence.
Sirius knocked on the door three times, as Remus put his daughter down, but still kept a hold of her hand.
The door opened to reveal Lilly.
"Remus, Sirius! Come in, hello Lexi bear!" Lilly said as she hugged the small family of three.
"Hello Auntie Lilly, is Harry up yet?" Lilly nodded and pointed to the stairs. ALexia looked at her parents, silently asking if she could go up to Harry. Both of them nodded, and she ran upstairs, after shouting a quick, 'Hello Uncle James', who just laughed and waved back.
"HARRY!!!" She shouted as she burst open his door.
"LEXI!!!" He shouted back, ever as eager to see his cousin.
"I GOT MY HOGWARTS LETTER!!" She screamed and waved it in front of his face
"SAME!" He shouted and laughed along with her.
"By the way Lexi, happy birthday" He said and handed me a present.
"Dad helped me pick it out for you" He said with a smile.
I carefully opened it to find a large book of Quidditch through the ages.
"Thanks Harry!" She said and hugged him.
"Harry do you know about the Hogwarts houses"
"Kind of, I want to be in Gryffindor, like Mum and Dad" She nodded and then pondered on something.
"Harry, if I get into Slytherin, would you still be my friend?Would we still be best-friends-forever-cousins?" Alexia said, her voice quieting. Harry side-hugged her and said;
"I'll always love you, Lexi, you'll always be my best friend, always, forever and ever" She smiled at him, when James shouted them to come downstairs.
They ran downstairs next to each other, Alexia nearly falling on her face, if it weren't for Sirius.
"Sorry Paddy" She blushed.
"It's alright puppy" He said and kissed her nose.
"Time for presents!" James announced.
Alexia received;
A snitch replica from James, knowing the young Lupin loved Quidditch
A complete book collection about werewolves
Harry got her Quidditch through the ages, of course
She got a replica of his pocket knife, but he said it only could be on display until she was older
She got new clothes from Remus and a few more books, and of course, a ton of chocolate.
"She is defiantly your daughter, Remus, books and chocolate, goodness me" Sirius said, making everyone laugh.
"Daddy, when are we going to Diagon Alley?" Alexia asked her father, as everyone chatted amongst themselves.
"Tomorrow, Cub, Harry'll come along with his parents of course." He said with a tired smile. Alexia forgo that the full moon was three days away.
"Daddy, when i'm at Hogwarts, where will I go when I need to transform?" Remus smiled as he set his daughter on his lap.
"You'll be going where I went, ask your Daddy Padfoot, There is a closing underneath the womping willow, to which Dumbledore has casted a spell, to make sure only you can get in, alright. And if your friends ask where you're going, and you feel like you can't tell them, then tell hem you've gone to see Dumbledore." Remus said, then taking a breath.
"Daddy, did you have company? I know we always shift together, but what if I hurt myself bad?" Remus shifted uncomfortably, the thought of his child being alone and him nor her other father not being with her broke his heart.
"I don't know Cub, but i'm certain, that you won't hurt yourself while your this young, you'll just explore for a bit." He said with a reassuring smile. She smiled back, then kissed his cheek as she hopped down from his lap, to go and play with her cousin.
"Harry! Want to go and play in the garden with me?" Harry nodded and told hi parents where he would be.
"Alright, but Harry, look after your cousin, and make sure either of you don't get hurt." Lilly warned in a motherly tone, firm yet kind.
"Ok mum!" Harry said as he chased me into the garden. We played tig, hide and seek, eye spy, everything, until Harry said;
"Race you back inside!" And Alexia turned to see Harry already running. She went to run, but slid on the wet mud, as it was starting to rain. She slid onto her knee, blood dripping down her leg.
"Ahh!" She screamed as she fell onto the cold pavement beneath her. Being quite squeamish, Alexia soon looked at her knee, examined it, then fainted at the sight of so much blood on her leg. She could distantly hear her Daddy and Paddy shouting her name. All she could remember was seeing Remus' worried face, before everything went black.
