Lost Over Time

Ch. 2

A bright summer afternoon/evening. The sun still shining high in the sky dispute the time of the day. "Girls! Boys! Time for tea!" A man's voice rings out from the back door leading into the magic like back yard.

As soon as those words reached the ears of the children playing in the yard, they stopped what they were doing and headed inside to sit and eat the meal that was prepared for Harley's 10th Birthday.

She had friends sleeping over tonight so all magic in the house had been banned, since almost all of her friends were muggles. Only two people besides her knew about magic. Her best friend Chantal Zoey and Chantal's cousin Damian coppalok.

Chantal had long bright fiery red hair with matching cat ears and tail which she always charmed, pale porcelain skin with many freckles and calm emerald eyes. She often wore green to make her hair and eyes standout.

Damian however looked nothing like his cousin except for his calm emerald green eyes. He had dark curly raven hair with matching cat ears and tail with bright snow white tips. Perfectly plain slightly tanned skin not a single dent, blemish or freckle in sight. He often wore royal blue hoodies or shirts, to complement his eyes and hair, with black jeans. He is a year older than the rest

They are half bloods like Harley and Remus.

They were all sat at the dining table eating and chatting about anything and everything. Elíse suddenly asked "which secondary do you plan to go to at the end of next year?" Remus froze in his seat wondering what his daughter would say to her friend.

They had never talked about secondary school for her because she had a garanteed spot at Hogwarts, since Remus used to go to Hogwarts and was friends with James, he had asked Dumbledore if his cub could go and he said that she was welcome to join.

"Um...well, I haven't really thought about it. I mean if I had to I'd go to the same boarding school as Damian is going to start at in September same as Chantal" she finishes slowly looking up from her plate and at Elíse.

"How did you know that I got a letter?" Damian questioned looking at her puzzled. She gave a sly smile and said one simple thing "I have my sources".

"The boarding school is the same one my mom and dad and his friends went to when they were younger" Harley said with a smile on her face. Most times when she talked about her 'mom' she was actually talking about the man that was taken away from her and Remus but other times when it wasn't too obvious or if it was to Chantal or Damian then she was actually talking about Remus and the dad was the man missing in action.

Almost every night since she first asked about her other parent her and Remus would talk about him, what he was like, the things he hated and the things he loved, his silly mistakes and the rare genius idea. Remus told her almost everything she wanted to know, he even told her stories about the great and grand adventures of the Marauders.

How wormtail was so quite, how padfoot and prongs did stupid things and how Remus was the motherly figure of the group, always saving them from themselves. About the invisibility cloak and the Marauders Map the secret passages around the school that they used to help with their pranks.

He even told her about the other three becoming animagi just to help him and the reason behind their silly nicknames. They told eachother everything they could Harley didn't have anything to tell about her farther but it didn't bother Remus one bit.

One night about a month ago he finally told her that her father's nickname was padfoot and that prongs ended up dating a lovely girl named Lilly, they got married and Lilly eventually got pregnant a month after him and that wormtail started disappearing a lot. He explained almost everything about his past to her, things he wanted to forget but he couldn't say no to her.
