Alexia woke up to hear one of two father's snoring, preferably Remus because he got little rest when it was the full moon. She sat up and stretched her small muscles and clambered out of her father's bed. She was feeling much better after the nightmare last night. She got a sudden shudder when she remembered the dream, then heard the house elf, Kreacher, cleaning and muttering to himself. She had always been quite scared of him, because he often threatened to harm her when she came near him, but she tried to be polite because she was a generally nice person, receiving a couple of Lilly's genes there. She looked cautiously at her pathway, and noted that the only way to get down stairs to her Daddy was past Kreacher, who was ,mumbling about a 'filthy werewolf'.
"G-good morning Kreacher" She said very quietly, not wanting to scare the house elf. Kreacher looked at her with a disgusted expression on his small face.
"What does the filthy mud-blood werewolf want?" Kreacher said with a sickening grin. Alexia took those words and ignored them, trying to be a bit stronger, but she couldn't help the tears forming, making her vision of the short elf blurry.
"Going to cry to you Father's? Your filthy blood-traitor father and your other filthy half-breed werewolf? WEAK! STUPID LITTLE MUD BLOOD!! YOU SHOULD BE BEATEN FOR YOUR WEAKNESS!!" Alexia now had many tears falling down her face. She should be used to the insults. But her Father's told her that no-one should be used to insults that you take to the heart. She heard thundering steps up the stairs, and she backed away into the wall and covered her face. For some reason, she thought Remus was going to hit her. Kreacher's words really had affected her.
"Kreacher! Leave my daughter alone!" Remus said as he batted the house elf away. Moments later the two werewolves heard Sirius walk across the landing, even louder thundering steps. Sirius grabbed Kreacher by the back of his clothing and dragged him into an empty room, presumably to shout at him. Remus looked over to his shaking daughter.
"Cub? Are you alright sweetheart?" He said, already knowing the answer was 'no'. He tried to step closer, but she just stared at him with heavily teary eyes, and ran down stairs, silently crying, scared of her werewolf father's shouting voice. Remus slowly walked after his daughter, not wanting to spook her even more. Remus's werewolf senses picked up the sound of Alexia's sniffling. He found her sitting kind of close to the fire. Remus picked her up gently and sat down on the sofa. She wrapped her skinny arms around his neck as he drew small circles on her back, in order to calm her down. Her sniffling slowly died down, and she pulled back and looked at her tired-looking father. Alexia wasn't affected by pain or tiredness, being a child, she will receive the oh so enjoyable gift of terrible side effects of being a werewolf; such as pain when she transforms, and low sleeping hours like Remus. She does however still receive small scars, because she often gets a bit clumsy when she transforms into a brown wolf cub. Sirius son walked down, and looked quite angry to have woken up to shout and defend his young eleven year-old daughter. Alexia looked up from Remus and looked at her other Father.
"Daddy is it the full moon tonight?" Alexia asked. Remus looked at his daughter and nodded slowly. Sirius walked over to the still hugging duo and sat next to them. Alexia smiled as Sirius reached over and wiped all of her tears away. Remus then kissed her forward, stood up and carried her into the kitchen, where he placed her on one of the chairs to the long dining room table.
"Pancakes or full English breakfast?" Sirius questioned as he leant against the kitchen counter. Alexia's eyes glowed.
"Pancakes please Paddy!" She said, Remus chuckling at the alliteration she used unknowingly. Sirius nodded and shouted for Kreacher. The trio may not have particularly liked the elf, but man, was his cooking and preparation of food was AMAZING!!!
"Thank you Kreacher" Alexia said shyly. Remus smiled lovingly at his daughter. Even though she was terrified of Kreacher, she still thanked him for providing her with food. 'So much like Lilly' He though, shaking his head while he dug into his pancakes. Alexia already finished, not really used to eating anymore than a couple pancakes, had a question that kept slipping into her mind.
"When are we going to Diagon Alley Daddy's?" She said, now staring at the sleepy Titan walking into the room. She pet his head and gave him a piece of one of her left over pancakes.
"Today Cub" Remus said, Sirius nodding at his daughter and agreeing with his partner.
