(I was amazed how many people wanted me to continue with this story. To answer a few questions, yes I've changed my name from Lupine to Raea. I have my reasons. Next, all of your questions will be answered in this sequel. This is more future based than its predecessor but it is still a continuation of the first story. The first chapter will tie up any loose ends that I've left. I hadn't planned to continue this so soon because of writing my new story, Secret Love. Check it out! It's more or less a GiW/HP fic but you should enjoy it.

This story is more about adventure than romance but there is a good amount of romance entwined in my plot. This story focuses on Rosemary and her life as she ages. Hope you enjoy!)

Chapter 1

Hermione placed a soft kiss to her brand new daughter's forehead. She stroked the child's fuzzy head, rocking back and forth in the rocking chair provided by the hospital.

Rosemary stared at the new baby in awe, not quite sure what to think of her.

"Can I name her?" Rosemary inquired, stepping quietly toward her grandmother and her new baby aunt.

"Sure, love," Hermione murmured, reaching up to tuck a piece of loose hair behind Rosemary's ear.

If Voldemort's words were true Rosemary would be dead by nightfall. Hermione's delivery went by quickly, only lasting about an hour, but as time wore on she and Leona knew what was to come.

What had he meant? The wolf is coming? It made no sense. Hermione vowed that as soon as she'd left the hospital she would head straight to the Ministry's library and devote herself to research.

Leona had left school behind, too afraid and scarred to go back. She wanted to start over at Beauxbatons the next fall. Everything would be fresh.

Remus had gone missing. Hermione, though she loved him, found little time to devote her thoughts to him. She'd assumed that he had been frightened by Severus and had run off, was hiding, and would emerge as soon as he thought the coast was clear.

"I want her name to be.. Lorelai," Rosemary stroked the sleeping baby's cheek with her thumb.

"That's a beautiful name, dearest," Hermione stood, walking weakly to set the new little Lorelai in her hospital crib.

"Thanks, Grammy," Rosemary smiled and skipped off down the hallway, her golden curls bouncing on her back as she went.

"Accio cell phone," Hermione flicked her wand from her bed, her cell phone flying into her hand from her purse. She dialed Leona, her intent to have the young woman pick up a few books.

"Here you are," Leona dropped the satchel of books unceremoniously on her mother's bed, then turned to go snuggle her baby sister. "Lorelai, huh?"

"Rosemary named her," Hermione examined the books, flipping pages madly.

"So you think that Rosemary is a horcrux?" Leona patted Lorelai on her diaper padded rear, bouncing her gently.

"Yes," Hermione answered shortly, discarding one book and picking up another. "If I'm correct," Hermione began, "then there is a way to destroy it without killing her. If we destroy the horcrux then Voldemort will be gone forever. Gods. I need Harry and Ron."

"Kill her? We can't kill her. It's not an option. It just isn't," Leona snuggled the baby and took a seat in the rocking chair.

"I know that. The horcrux is inside her. We have to figure out where," Hermione glanced outside, "and we don't have muich time."

The mist circled around their feet, night encompassing the three men that stood in the dead center of King's Memorial Cemetary.

"You don't want to kill the girl. You can't live without her," the tallest hissed into the foggy darkness.

"Be silent! I know what I'm doing. I won't kill the bloody child. I just want to pay her a visit. They will protect her with their lives. It will be bloody Harry Potter all over again!" The Dark Lord took a seat on the edge of a grave, dragging his long, spindly fingers through his goatee.

"Master, we had no clue about the complications with Potter. You cannot dwell on what we didn't know," the small, round wizard growled under his breath.

"It matters, you twit! I cannot louse this up again! She'll stop growing like mad now that she's reached her peak! She'll go off to Hogwarts and it's your duty to keep her from getting into the mess Potter did!" Voldemort spoke to the tallest.

"It's not that I will not do what you wish, Master, but I fear that this plan will fail. Even if you kill Madam Snape and the Lupin girl you will get nowhere!"

"Cease your groveling, Snape. You only wish to save your precious wife," Wormtail sneered.

"I do not! She is a common slut!" Severus shoved Wormtail into the grave behind him.

"Stop!" Voldemort screamed.

The two stayed stock still, heads hanging in shame.

"We'll watch them. Do nothing for now. As long as she lives I will thrive. There's no way that they can discover the horcrux within her."

(Yes. Very dramatic. I will not post another chapter until I've had three reviews. Keep that in mind! Please review. -Raea)
