Remy left after a full three hours of talking. It felt nice to be able to confide in him again. I had showed him the doll he gave me when I turned three and he had smiled happily.

Now as I lay on my bed picturing the day's events I can't help but smile as well. I let out a soft sigh and close my eyes. The next events before me takes away my breathe and I can't stop it.

~Flashback/Dream~

"Night Daddy! Night Harry! Night Mum!" I say giving each a hug. "Night Cara." Dad said and Harry waved his hands at me. I giggle and run up the stairs to my room. Harry giggles for a little longer and I stop at my door to listen.

Mum is telling Daddy something but then the door bangs open. "Lily! It's him! Take Harry upstairs and hide! I'll hold him off!" I gasp and hear Mum run upstairs and a moment later she appears holding Harry in her arms.

"Cara?!" She calls and I hurry to her. "Mum?" "C'mon sweetie." She said quickly and I followed her to the nursery. "Help me move these boxes." She said and strted to shove the dresser in front of the door.

I moved some boxes over and hurry to hide beside the crib. "Cara no matter whatpromise me that you will stay with Harry. Promise me you'll protect him from Voldemort. Please. Keep him safe for me. Promise?" She said staring at me.

I nodded. "I promise Mum." I wimpered and the door burst open. Mum moved to hide me and Harry. "Please not Harry! Not Harry! Take me please!" "Move aside girl." "Please not Harry! Not my son!" She begged.

"LAst warning. Move aside silly girl." He hissed coldly and I tensed up. "Please not Harry! Take me instead!" She cried and he raised his wand. "Avada Kedavra!" Mum fell down and I with-held a scream.

He turned to Harry who sat staring in his crib. He wasn't crying. The stranger pointed his wand square at Harry's face. I felt tears welling up and I fought the urge to cover him. "Avada Kedavra" But Harry didn't fall like Mum. Instead it left a cut as he cried and the stranger vanished in a bright light.

"Harry!" I called and climbed into his crib knocking his mobile off its hook. I squeezed him tightly and I fell asleep holding him as he cried. The sound of soft tears woke me and I looked up to see Siri standing over Mum.

"Siri?" I whispered and he looked up sharply. "Cara! Harry!" He hurried over to the crib and I looked at Harry in my arms. He was still crying some but it had died down to small wimpers. "We're ok well, Harry has a cut." I said and Siri inspected us carefully.

He let out a sigh. "Can you get out?" I nodded and stood up picking up Harry as well. "HEre hand me Harry." I handed him over and climbed out of the crib. I quickly grabbed the mobile and held it tightly.

We walked downstairs and I snuck into the kitchen. I saw Mum's wand on the counter and grabbed it. When Siri saw me holding it he looked confused. "Why do have a wand?" "IT's Mum's! For when she wakes up and needs it." I explain and tears form in his eyes.

"Ok Cara c'mon." I follow him through the siiting room but when I spot Daddy I run oveer to him. "Daddy! Wake up, Siri is taking us on an adventure!" I said shaking him. When he didn't respond I felt my little heart break.

I stood up and walked over to the door where Siri now stood. We walked out but a tall man was there, standing by a motorbike. "Hagrid?" Siri asked confused. I clung to his leg, scared of the tall man.

"Dumbledore's or'er me to bring 'em." He said to a question I didn't hear. "Hagrid please. I'm Harry's godfather and Cara doesn't know you or Dumbledore. Let me take them." He said desperately.

He shook his head. "Sorry can't." He replied sadly and I held onto him tighter. Siri handed Harry over to him and I stared in shock. "Siri?" I asked my voice shaking. "You're gonna go with Hagrid ok? Do it for me?" He asked kneeling in front of me.

Tears fell down my cheeks and I nodded sadly. "i love you Siri." I whisper giving him a tight hug. "love you too Little Marauder." Hw whispered and kissed my forehead lightly.

I followed the tall man to Siri's motorbike. "I won't be needing it anymore." He explained as I sat in the sidecar. As we took off I turned and waved at Siri but he had disappeared. I turned back around and let myself drift asleep.

When I woke back up we were landing on a dark sidewalk. "Ah Hagrid. Everything went well I assume?" A man with a long white beard asked once we parked. "Yes sir. Both fell asleep on the way." He replied as he climbed out.

"Both?" He asked somewhat surprised. I walked out from his shadow and stared at my pink trainers. "Cara. How are you child?" I looked up at him sadly. "Sad. Mum got hit and Dad didn't wake up and Siri didn't keep us." I said my voice trembling.

A woman hurried over to me and knelt down. "Come here," She gave me a hug and tears streamed down my face. Hagrid handed Harry over to the man who I assumed was Dumbledore that Siri mentioned.

The woman let go of me and followed the man to a house I tried to follow them but Hagrid stopped me. "But I promised Mum! I have to protect him! I promised!" I pleaded and he shook his head sadly.

Fresh tears flowed down my fave as I tried to reach Harry. They walked back over to us and I again tried to reach Harry. "No dear. You're going somewhere else." The woman said gently. "B-but I promised Mum!" I sobbed and she gave me another hug.

She released me and Dumbledore stepped forward. "Are you familiar with Remus Lupin?" "Remy?" He nodded and held out his arm. I grabbed it and we disappeared. When we reappeared we were in front of a new house.

We walked up and Dumbledore knocked. The door opened and Remy peered out in surprise. "Dumbledore?" He aksed and I hugged his legs. He looked down in utter shock. "Cara?" I sniffed, "Remy."

He bent down and picked me up, grunting some. "What's going on sir?" He asked and I rested my head on his shoulder. "James and Lily are dead." Remy tensed up and I curled up.

"Cara and Harry are the only ones to survive, Harry was hit with the killing curse but he miraculously survived and will grow up with Lily's sister. As her godfather, Cara will be in your care." Dumbledore explained as I closed my eyes.

"Of course. Did she bring anything?" I tucked the wand in my sleeve carefully while Dumbledore handed over the mobile. "Take care Remus." And he disappeared. We ventured inside and he set me on the couch.

"Are you tired?" I nodded and he smiled sadly. "I don't exactly have a room for you will the couch be alright?" I nod and he gets me a blanket. I curl up in a tiny ball as I lay down. "Night Remy." "Night Cara." He whispers and turns out all the lights.

(13 Years later)

I lace up my trainers and tuck my wand in my pocket. I take a deep breathe. "Okay so two laps a drink then another lap. Sounds good!" I say to myself before opening the door. I walk out and shut the door not bothering to lock it. I trusted my neighbors and they trusted me.

I ran around the Hogsmeade square twice before entering the Three Broomsticks. "Evening Rosemerta." I breathed taking a seat at the bar. "A jog?" I nodded and she set down a glass of water. "thanks." I took a gulp and breathed in relief. I looked out the window and noticed a group of dark shadows.

" 'Ey Rosemerta you recognize those folks out there?" I asked not looking away. "No. Maybe they're looking at homes?" I shook my head and checked I still had my wand. "Well I got one more lap. Night." I said and left the appropriate amount.

As I jogged back around th square and to my house I felt an air of foreboding. I pulled out my wand and opened my door silently. Inan instant multiple things happened. Multiple spells were shot at me. YElling erupted. And I blacked out with my wand ripped from my hand.

When I woke up, I had a throbbing headache and I was sitting in a dark room. I felt for my wand but couldn't find it. I felt a smooth surface next to me and I held it close to my face. My heart dropped as I recognized part of my wand.

"No. Not Mum's wand." I whispered. I shoved it in my pocket and stood up. "Hello?!" I called and my voice echoed. "Can anyone hear me?!" I shouted but again it echoed. I took in my surroundings and recognized the Room of Requirement from my brief visit to inspect my brother's school.

"Wait I'm in Hogwarts!" I exclaimed and tried to find the exit. I hit my fist against the wall as I failed to find the bloody door. "Remy! Harry! Anyone!" I yelled as my eyes began to burn. I slid down the wall, "please." I whisper.

~Flashback/Dream over~

I sit upright gasping for breathe. "Ca c'était quoi?" I muttered holding my head. (What was that?) I sighed and got up. I looked out the window to see the sun was rising in the sky. I put on a long-sleeved shirt and jumper along wiht my jeans and trainers.

I shoved my wand in my pocket and walked out of my house, locking the door. I wasn't quite as trusting anymore but I didn't ice everyone out either. I Disapparated to the Ministry of Magic main entrance. I let out a sigh of relief.

"Okay Auror office. Auror office." I muttered before heading to the elevator. "Well if it isn't Cara Potter making a grande entrance." Someone snarked and I rolled my eyes. "Shut up." I snapped.

"Woah fiesty. Thought you were fired after being gone for two years." I turned around and held his throat pointing my wand at him. "Shut the bloody hell up. I was kidnapped for the past two years. So get your facts straight before you go making snide comments." I hissed before releasing him.

He remained silent all the way to the Department of Magical Law Enforcement. We both marched off the lift. He stopped at his offiice while I kept going to the Head office. I knocked and heard a come in from inside.

"Well Cara Potter. I'll be." He mused and I nodded. "Yes sir. I encountered Juipes on the lift. Lord he hasn't changed. He shook his head in agreement. "Now why are you here Potter?" "To reinstate my position as Auror and Auror Mentor." He nodded and opened his desk.

"The badge changed. You got the old one?" I hand it to him and he wipes the surface to smooth with his wand. HE then began to engrave a new design on its surface with his wand. Once finished he handed it over to me.

"You'll be recieving your apprentice in a moment actually." He said and I blinked in surprise. So soon? "Alright. Do you wish me to stay here?" He nodded and I leaned against the wall.

Five minutes later the door opened and a skittish looking woman walked in. "I'm here sir! But where's my mentor?" She asked anxiously. "Ashley Miux. Meet Cara Potter, your mentor." He said and she turned quickly to see me straighten up.

"Nice to meet you Miux." "You too, P-Potter." I scowled. "Don't think of me just for my younger brother. I'm more than that." I said and her eyes widened. "S-Sorry! Oh no my first day and I'm failing!" She panicked quietly and I let out a laugh.

"Chill. You're not the first. C'mon I'll show you everything that I can." I say and lead her out of the office. Juipes appeared in sfront of us. "Both of you got rejected? Ha!" He laughed and I narrowed my eyes.

"Tais-toi idiot!" I spat and he backed up. I smirked and led the way to my office. "So anytime you recieve an assignment it'll come from me or the Head. When I give you an assignment you'll need to check in here. This is my office." I say pointing to my plaque. (Shut up idiot!)

She nodded. "Don't be so tense. You won't get much done like that." I say and she relaxes her shoulders. I lead her to her office and she stares at the door in awe. I snort, "Sorry I've never seen someone so enchanted by a door."

She shook herself. "No it's just I've always dreamt of this but never expected to actually make it." She said and I couldn't help but think it was practised. "Let's go inside." I said and she opened the door.

I shut the door and whirled to her. "Tell the truth now. Who are you really?" I spat pointing my wand at her. she smirked and chuckled darkly. "How brilliant. The potter girl figures is out immediately. How clever." I narrow my eyes.

"Why are you really here?!" She grins. "For you. The Dark Lord is desperate to get a bargaining chip and what better than HArry Potter's own sister? He would of had you sooner but you chose to escape!" She spat and I growled. "Petrificus totalus!" She went board stiff and fell back.

"Geez." I mutter in annoyance."Obliviate." I hurry back to the Head office. "She was a undercover Death Eater." I growl as I enter. "How do you know?" "Pensieve." He pulled it out in confusion.

I retrieved the memory and dropped it in the stone basin with a scowl. He dunks his head in and a minute later he reappears with a sigh. "We'll go fetch her. Return to your office." I nod leave, shutting the door behind me.

I enter my office with a small smile. Despite already facing a Death Eater I feel at home. I've always enjoyed being an Auror and it helped that I knew French for when our assignments involved speaking to foreigners in France.

I inspected the small space and recognized a new packet of papers. I hurried over and flipped through them. I sat in my chair as I furrowed my brows. A new assignment already? How do they get this so soon?

"You are assigned to a unit to travel to France for a meeting with Madame Maxime, who you are known to have associated with previously. Mad-eye Moody and Kingsley Shacklebolt will accompany you. You will leave in three days time." I read and I felt heart give a flutter then my gut gave a kick.

Three days?! How do I have time to prepare?! I'll have to make do. I set the packet down and wave my wand a bit. Before me appears small streams of bubbles. I grin and wave my hand through them.

A throat being cleared snaps me back to reality. "Oh! Moody! Sorry I didn't see you." I chuckle nervously. He grunts. "YEs I can abviously tell. Now regarding the mission. Do you speak and French? IT would be most helpful or else we will have to postpone." He says and limps inside from the doorway.

"I do speak French. In fact, I attended her school and was one of her favorite students. "Both of you Potter's. Friends with headmasters." He snorted and I chuckled. "well yes. But it had nothing to do with my fame. I was just an overall excellent student." I say with a grin and he doesn't respond.

"How well is your French then?" I sighed. "Qu'en penses-tu Maugrey? Je l'ai dans le sac." He looked more disgruntled than usual and his magical eye pointed straight at me. "Alright. No need to show off." (What do you think Moody? I got this in the bag.)

"Sorry sir. Does Kingsley know?" He nodded and leaned on his cane. "I suggest you go home and pack Potter." He said and limped back out. I sigh and stand up from my seat. "Guess he's right." I Disapparte to my house and scurry around my room.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I sit in the Three Broomsticks at a table, waiting for Harry to arrive. "Cara!" A voice calls and I look up to see Harry and Hermione. "Hey you two. Where's Ron?" I ask curiously and Hermione scowls.

"Off with Lavender." She spat and I gave her a sympathetic look. "I see. Sit down. I already ordered some butterbeers, hopefully it'll dull the shock." I muttered the last bit and took a sip.

"Thanks. Why did you ask us to come?" He asked and I set my glass down. "Ok don't panic. I leave for France tomorrow for a mission." I said and their eyes widened. "What?! For how long?!"

"I'm not sure. Not more than a month or so hopefully. I have to go since I'm one of the only few that speak French fluently." I explain and Hermione nods while Harry looks downcast.

"Hey." He looks up and I smile. "You can still owl me. And I can get you gifts." I say and he smiles half-heartedly. "See? It won't be all bad. Now how's school been?"

"Complicated. Hagrid's upset since we don't take his class this term. Ron started dating Lavender Brown." Hermione huffed and looked away. "Dumbledore's been giving me private lessons. And we're learning how to apparate." He listed and my eyes widened.

"A lot for someone your age. Eh sounds about right though." I shrug and take another sip. "He lets her lug him around! It isn't right!" Hermione exclaimed making many heads turn to us.

I scowl and hold up my badge and they turn away quickly. "Sounds like a small case of jealousy." I sang and they both looked at me, Harry amusement and Hermione annoyance. "No it's not!" She said quickly and I chuckled.

"It's natural. Trust me I know." I grin and get another drink. "Dieu c'est amer maintenant." I said in disgust and set my cup down. They stared in confusion. "Sorry. I said 'God that's bitter now.' Again I do that on accident."

They nodded and finsihed their drinks. "I best get going. I leave early in the morning. If you can let me know if anything big happens." They nod and we all leave, me leaving a small tip.

"See you." "Bye. Cara!" I grin and wave as they walk off. I make my way home and check that I'm prepared.
