Imagine being pulled into your favourite book when you least expect it...
One day Raven Knight sits quietly in her bed as she flips through one of her least favourite parts of Harry potter and the deathly hollows. It's a book she's read millions of...

The quote I have put up doesn't exactly resonate with this chapter, but it did with my own heart. I have come to this understanding that for today, tomorrow, and the next I shouldn't stress over things I cant control, but rather think about the things right in front of me and what I can do with my life. Not only how i can improve myself, but ways to make me happy and be the person I want to be.

Raven's POV (Andromeda) - Edited.
I feel like this conversation about me being Remus's daughter has gone on forever, he still hasn't grasp what was really happening and I didn't blame the guy, how would you handle this situation. I would definitely go into a break down, followed by reading a good novel and crying all over again... but then again that's just me.
"So.... you're my daughter" I nodded nervously not knowing what to say, let's just come to a conclusion that I haven't had the greatest past with fathers.
He teared up a little and got up to hug me again, this time I let him and I stuck my head into his chest and began to cry even more then before. I don't know what came over me, but I just knew that this was going to be different or at least interesting to say the least, and I knew that Remus wasn't a violent man like my other father... he was just a wolf, and I knew he'd feel like he couldn't take care of me but I knew he'd be the most amazing father a girl could ask for.
We pulled apart and I looked over to see a smiling Dumbledore.
"Well I'm glad this has been a warm welcoming...Anyhow I must discuss your stay at Hogwarts" both Remus and I walked up to Dumbledore's desk, and sat down so we could talk some more about what was going to happen with my stay at Hogwarts. "So I would guess that you would like to stay at Hogwarts" I nodded in response.
"Ahh yes? Indeed I would like to stay at Hogwarts.. A finish my schooling" Dumbledore smiled and looked down writing something down, I turned my head to see a teary eyed Remus. "Are you okay with that dad" Remus suddenly looked over at me and smiled.
"That's perfectly fine... I'm glad you want an education" I laughed a little thinking about the whole situation involving the other dimensions, I had technically had two different educations, and way to much information stored in my mind.
"Well if it makes you feel any better i've already had two different educations in two dimensions" Remus raised an eyebrow and for me to continue. I looked over at Dumbledore and he seemed to join the conversation with a hand gesture to continue my story. "Well it's a long story..." I believe the three of us sat there for hours as I told my story, one which went on for ever because I had the memories physically for three seperate lives. After retelling my story Dumbledore had discussed my stay and now I was going to be sorted into a house, I personally was hoping for Gryffindor but I don't discriminate against other houses.
Dumbledore placed the hat upon my head and almost immediately I could hear it inside my head.
"Ohh my i've been waiting for this day the infamous Andromeda Potter or should i say Andromeda Lupin.... and Raven" I froze a little as the hat continued to speak. "Now I must say your one determined girl so Slytherin could be a great choice, but your also kind and loving so Hufflepuff could be a sensible choice and even Ravenclaw because your creative... but with everything that you've gone through Gryffindor stands out. Not only are you a descendant of one of the maunder's but you have also stuck it out and been chivalrous in the worst and best of times so I think it should be... GRYFFINDOR" As the hat spoke those words I looked over to see Remus smile with joy.
"Yesss" I jumped up in joy and the hat fell off my head with a thud, I froze for a second with a terrified look that somehow it was going to kill me because I dropped it, but Dumbledore simply laughed and waved his wand to return the hat to the top fo one of his shelfs. My shoulders relaxed and I signed in satisfaction. "I can't believe this is happening...."
"Me either, I didn't think I'd come here today to find out I had a daughter let alone see her get picked for Gryffindor.... I'm proud of you Andromeda and even though I don't know you yet I intend to" I laughed at the end of Remus's sentence.
"hmmm just like I intend to get all the juicy stories out of you from your days as a marauder" Remus's eyes snapped to Dumbledore and he shook his head in confusion.
"How'd you know..." a smirked reached my face as I looked any my father.
"Well I have my ways and fine work by the way you left a tough legacy" Remus laughed back at me and shook his head in disbelief.
"You really are my daughter" both Remus and I bid Dumbledore farewell and the both of us walked out of his office together. "So how did you know about my marauder days.... and let me guess you know more than that" I looked up at him and smiled.
"Of course I do, how could I not know about you... after remembering all these memories from different lives I was able to peace together knowledge about you, and I'm grateful that I can because that just makes everything better, I know I can trust you and for me that's a big step" I look away for a moment as the last of my words cracked.
"Something happened to you didn't it beside when you disappeared that night" I didn't want to utter another word, but in my own special way I did.
"Perhaps... but that story is for another day.. I just don't want to talk about it, not yet anyway" Remus seemed to drop the story about my own life and ask me one simple question.
"So you know what I am then" I looked up at him again as we both stopped in one of the many empty hallways.
"Of course I do, you're my father, you were a caring friend and still are, your trust worthy, and you're even a werewolf and I don't care one bit that you turn every full moon it doesn't stop me from caring about you.. and it never will." We both stood looking at each other in silence and I was the first to grab Remus by the waist and hug him. For a moment he hesitated but he then grabbed me back and hugged me with warmth and love. Thats when I knew that I had someone in this world that I could trust, and not only trust but love as he was my father not the other man that brought me up... I now know that sometimes life isn't what we expect, it can be hard but in the end, we end up and were your suppose to be and even if it doesn't seem like your present is the best the future can always be.
