Anastasia's Back Story

Anastasia Rowle-Black-Lupin-Snape. That's not a name many people think they will ever hear. I mean, Severus Snape, Sirius Black, and Remus Lupin? Not to mention that the Rowles died 10 years ago. All except for Anastasia. Here's how it happened:

It was August 6th, 1981, and Anastasia was turning 2 years old. Of course, only 8 people besides Anastasia and her parents were there to celebrate it because of them being in hiding. Yes, the Rowles were in hiding, just like the Potters. They're baby also had a prophecy. Of course, only one person has heard it, and that person also happens to be the man who is trying to kill the Potters. Yes, yes, I know. 'The Potters died on Harry's 1st birthday, that has obviously already passed'. But that's wrong. They didn't die on Harry's birthday. They died on Anastasia's 2nd, just like the Rowles did. It had started off a fine day, with the Potters coming over at 10 a.m...

Ring!

The Potters were standing outside of their bestfriends house. The Rowles. Even though the Rowles had just been at the Potters secret place a few days ago, the babys wanted separate birthdays so they could have more cake. Baby Harry was being held by Lily Potter, and next to her was James Potter, holding a present. The door swung open and they were met with Cassiopeia Rowle, grinning widely. Her eyes focused on Harry, and her eyes lit up.

"Awe there he is! The sweet little man!"

Harry looked back up at his 'Aunt' Cassie and grinned, having seen her just about every other week for the past two years. He threw his arms out to her and shrieked,

"Cassie"

A loud scream came from inside, and then some uneven footsteps came running towards the door. A little face peaked from between Cassiopeia's legs, and the Potters were met with a large smile.

"Arry, Arry, Arry!"

Harry quickly looked down and his face lit up when he saw his best- and only- friend.

"Stacy!"

He immediately started wiggling, trying to get down. The adults laughed, and Lily bent down, letting Harry toddle towards the other baby. Anastasia pushed through her mothers legs and they met halfway, wrapping their arms around each other. When they pulled apart, they ran inside, heading towards the little girls room. Once everyone was inside and settled, another guest arrived. This time, Cephus (see-fus), who was in the kitchen finishing up the cake, went and opened the door. Two of three of Ana's godfathers where there, one also being Harry's godfather. They came in, arms full of presents for the child.

"Where's my little lions?"

Called out Sirius Black. Two small screams were heard from inside the room furthest down the hall, and little footsteps were heard. The toddlers came running, and ended up slamming right into the long haired man. They started talking a mile a minute, the only words that could be made out were 'Siri', 'toys', and 'birthday'. A small cough was heard, and Ana's head snapped to the left, making all the adults cringe at what could have been whiplash. Her smile grew and she started wiggling, trying to get to the werewolf. Remus Lupin reached over and took her from Sirius before both children were dropped. As soon as she could reach, she started tracing the scars on his face and talking to him. She was the only person besides Sirius who were allowed to touch them, not even Harry could. Though, that might be because he never tried because he wasn't all that close with Remus. All the adults were talking when suddenly a loud gasp was heard. All the heads turned to the little girl who had wide eyes and was looking back and forth between Remus and Sirius.

"Remmy, Siri! Guess what!"

Cassie and Cephus glanced at each other, already knowing what their daughter was going to show the two men.
