A/N: Okay. Here it is. I've been working on this story for a while. It's not completely finished, but it's pretty darn close. I was going to post this first part earlier, but I had no clear direction of where I wanted it to go then. But now I do so I hope to post pretty regularly (at least for a while). Some things may appear pretty obvious to some people, but some people may actually find mystery in the first few chapters so try not to let it slip okay? Okay, everybody will probably guess the myster but humor me 'kay:-) Hope you like and remember...reviews are love. This story is unbetaed AND it is my first HP fic so forgive me if anyone is out of character or any part sucks. :-)

A/N 2: The title isn't "Untitled" because I was too lazy to think of one. It'll come later. :-)

A/N 3: Anybody else having trouble add the ruler thing (the line)? Am I not doing something I should first? It won't do it for me so hope this doesn't seem all crammed together.

"Please don't take her from me," a young Remus Lupin cried. "She's all I have left!"

"I'm sorry, Mr. Lupin," the Ministry Official said. "You know the law. There's nothing I can do."

"I know," Remus said, hugging his little girl to him. "Can I have just one more moment with her? To say goodbye?"

The Ministry Official sighed. "Sure," he said, picking up a small bag Remus had set down earlier. "I'll take the bag over first."

"Thank you," Remus said as the man walked away. Then he turned his attention to his daughter. "You're going to go on a trip with that man, okay baby? He's going to take you to live with some very nice people from now one."

"Why?" the little girl asked. Remus gave a little smile. 'Why' had been her first word.

"Well, there are laws that say that since Dad can't live with us anymore, I can't take care of you. But I want you know..." he said with tears in his eyes. "...to know that I will always love you and that I'll never forget you. One day, I'll find you and we'll be together again. Remember that, okay sweetheart?"

"Okay daddy," the little girl answered, slightly confused.

Remus hugged her to him tightly with tears in his eyes as the Ministry worker walked up to them.

"It's time," he said.

Remus nodded and pulled back. "Now," he began, trying to regain himself for his child. "You be a good girl and remember what I told you."

"Okay daddy."

Remus stood up and watched them walk away.

"I love you!" he called out to her.

She turned to look at him and as she walked away, she waved. "I love you too, Daddy!"

And then they were gone. Remus walked back inside, shut the door and collapsed onto the floor, unable to hold back the tears anymore. First, three of his best friends are dead because of the man he loved as a friend and lover. The man he thought he knew above all else.

Two days later, on a muggle television, he had watched as the father of his child was arrested, live on the news, while that same child slept peacefully in her bedroom. Remus noticed the look on his face was more one of shock than that of a cold-blooded killer. But he didn't care. He'd lost everything because of that man and if he never saw Sirius Black again it would be too soon.

The final blow came the next morning. He'd been expecting it but that didn't make it any easier. The Ministry had come to collect his daughter. It was illegal for a werewolf to raise a child alone. His live was officially over.

Somehow, Remus managed to drag himself off the floor and into his daughter's room. He stared at the "big girl" bed she'd just moved into. After a few seconds, he collapsed onto the bed and cried until he had no more tears. His mind wouldn't let him sleep so he got up and did the thing he did best. He went to his desk and began to write.
