"Daddy! I finished brushing my teeth!" A little voice shouted from the top of the stairs. "Okay Harley, I'll come tuck you in but you have to already be in bed when I get up there" a males voice answers letting her know he'll be up in a minute.

She quickly races from the top of the stairs through her door and jumps into her bed. Sliding under the covers she lets her small frame get engulfed with the warmth of the layers of blankets piled up on her bed.

Snuggling up to a slightly tattered and warn stuffed black dog her dad walks in with a smile plastered on his face. "You really love that stuffed animal, don't you?" He asks his little girl sitting on the edge of her bed. "Yes, I absolutely love it" she says smiling brightly. He leans over and plants a soft kiss on her forehead, slowly pulling back he gives her a loving smile.

"Daddy? Since I'm almost 1 whole hand can I stay up later, just a little?" She pleads giving her dad puppy eyes. "Why would you want to stay up later? There's barely anything for you to do" he questions with a slight smile on his face. "Well I want to hear stories about mommy! You never talk about her. Ever!" She comments matter of factly.

The smile from her father's face drops into a sad smile his eyes drop to his lap. "Well sweetheart, it's really long stories, that you wouldn't understand till your much older." He answers slowly looking back up at his daughter who gave a slightly angered expression.

"Then you can help me understand and if I still don't then at least you tried" she states trying to reason with her father to tell her. "You know you always were to smart for your own good" he laughs. "Don't change the subject" she tells him ignoring his complement.

He laughs a little more and then looks at his daughter with a sad smile. "I guess I could tell you a little bit" he says. "Yay!" She cheers then looks at him expectantly.

"Well, your father was a very outgoing man, so ambitious but he could always be so silly." He starts off earning a weird look from Harley who was very confused. "I thought you are my daddy?" She half questions. "Sort of, you could say I'm more like your mommy than your daddy, your daddy was taken away from us not long after you turned 1." He continues.

She now has a slightly less confused look on her face but is still very curious. "He was in Gryffindor with the rest of the Marauders and I, absolutely hated Slytherin with passion, such ambition to ruin everything for them in many ways he practically was one." He says eyes glazed over as if going through the memories one by one

"So I mustn't be in Slytherin so daddy and you will still love me?" She asks seriously. "Sweetheart you can be in any house and I will love you no matter what same with your dad if he knew about you and which house you ended up in he would love you all the same" he reassures his daughter with a big smile and a kiss on her forehead.

She gives a big yawn and Remus casts tempus. "Okay that's enough for tonight, it's almost 7:30, we can talk more some other time." "Goodnight, daddy" Harley says closing her eyes. "Goodnight, my little cub" he replies slowly walking to the door, turning off the light and closing the door heading straight to bed.
