One day I'll finish this story. 

-----------------

Eva had completely forgotten that her Uncle Regulus would be returning. Imagine her shock when she woke up and there was a stranger making tea in the kitchen. 

He looked at her and started screaming which caused her to start screaming. Their screams continued as a rush of feet stomped down the steps. 

"Who the fuck are you," He shrieked and backed into the table. 

Her eyes narrowed. "I'm Eva, who the fuck are you?"

"Regulus," 

That name quieted her down and caused her to look at the calendar. "Oh," 

"Oh?" 

"Oh..." A third voice added. It was Sirius. 

"Damn you got old," Regulus commented. "Wait, you got old?!" 

"Rude," Sirius huffed. 

"And who are you?" 

"Evangeline but you can call me Eva, I'm Sirius and Remus' daughter," She explained. "And you Regulus Black you have been dead for 19 years," 

His eyes widened with much alarm. "Dead?" 

"Do you not remember?" 

He shook his head. "No, not really," 

"You found Slytherin's locket, you attempted to destroy it but inferi killed you," Sirius explained. 

"Oh, yeah, wait, is Voldemort alive?" 

Harry shook his head. "I'm Harry, James and Lily's, son. And no I killed him," 

Regulus' eyes widened. "Well thank you," 

"Anyone who died for The Order or Voldemort is coming back, there's going to be a war," Harry added. "Turns out Bellatrix and Voldemort had a daughter and she is very power-hungry. 

The new arrival stayed quiet but the silence was interrupted by an owl pecking at the glass. 

"Damn it," Eva huffed and grabbed the letter. "It's from the ministry... well what is left of it," 

Much of the ministry was in disarray from death eaters having worked their influence into the ministry mostly from Lucius Malfoy.  

She opened the letter and sighed as she read the contents. "All the deatheaters in Azkaban are no longer in Azkaban," 

"You don't seem very surprised," Lily comments. That was the first time that Regulus noticed James, Lily, Tonks, all grown up, and a baby in the room as well. 

"With everything happening, I can't be," Eva shrugs. "Now I have to get ready for Hogwarts," 

Regulus sent a questioning look to his brother. 

"She's the new DADA teacher, we are so proud of her," Remus smiled with a sickening grin that made James wonder what had parenthood done to him, something he hardly got to experience. 

----------------------------

Harry is looking through the home's office, which Dumbledore used while he was using the house for the order. With the upcoming war, he is hoping to find Dumbledore's plans to end the war, hopefully, sooner rather than later. What he wasn't expecting to find was a rather muggle-looking set of files in a muggle file folder. He was less than pleased to find that it had been filled with all sorts of odd things. 

It all began with Riddle though. 

-----------------------------------

Harry rushed downstairs and slammed the folder onto the table. It rang throughout the empty house and everyone came running. 

"Harry..." Remus carefully approached. 

"It was all a lie," He whispered to Remus. "It was all an experiment," 

"What do you mean?" Eva asked setting down the clothes she had been packing. 

He pointed to the heavy stack of papers. "I mean he used everyone in the room to prove a damn point," 

"Langauge Harry," Remus muttered and ignored an elbow to the side from his husband. "Show us," 

"Yeah, what do you mean 'experiment' we have minds of our own," James insisted. 

Harry opened the folder up and laid out photos of a younger Tom Riddle. "This is Tom Riddle before he started tearing his soul apart," 

"Bloody shame," Lily grumbled. "He's a bit pleasing to the eyes," 

James raised an eyebrow but he couldn't disagree. 

"Anyway it all started with Slughorn," Harry went on.

"I think I know where this is going," Eva noted. 

This got Regulus' attention. "What do you mean,"

"I mean he told Riddle about Horcruxes, you'd be surprised what a teacher would mention when it's all 'hypothetical' I've had a few 'hypothetical' questions myself," Eva explained. 

"Right, and this is a journal entry explaining that encounter," Harry added. holding up a torn book page. "And this next entry is the day he refused to give Riddle the Defense against the Dark Arts post," 

"Which is the day he cursed the position," Tonks said, speaking for the first time. 

"Right well it isn't cursed anymore, not since his death," Remus added. "Cursed until this May," 

"Right, anyway that's when the first wizarding war becomes a factor," Harry said, holding up a set of notes. The notes contained information about Voldemort's uprise. "He wanted him to be angry, he wanted him to tear himself apart. This experiment is all about one event falling into everyone's lives. Refusing the teaching position made him grow cold, made him want revenge, and so he got it," 

"If only he knew," Lily thought aloud. 

"But what about us?" Sirius asked. 

"I get it," Eva muttered. "We are the experiment, well Harry is, the rest of us is just to set it all into place," 

"Right," Tonks nodded. "To get him to believe," 

"Yep," 

"To see if the savior of the wizarding world could do what?" Eva asked, flopping her arms in a childlike manner. 

Harry held up another set of notes. "To see if I was a puppet, fully under his control, it doesn't mention why" 

"But that all doesn't help the Delphini situation," Regulus pointed out. 

Eva shook her head. "Your right, but it could contain information to stop her," 

"Such as?" Regulus continued.

"She's right," Harry muttered as he held up one last set of papers. "He knew this was going to happen, it's what he wanted to happen, if's all an experiment, then there's a desired outcome," 

"When did you get so smart," Eva laughed. "Not complaining but it's a surprise," 

"I'm not trying to follow Dumbledore anymore," Harry shrugged. "I'm just thinking freely," 

Eva shrugged as well. "Good point, but that's to come later," 

-----------------------------

Telling their friends had become quite the mess. They went to Hogsmead that weekend to tell those attending Hogwarts. 

"All of it?" Hermione squeaked.

 Eva nodded. "The only thing he hadn't accounted for was obviously this, but our meeting, up until now has mostly been his plan," 

"Bloody hell!" Ron moaned into his hands. "This has to be some sick joke," 

"Dumbledore's sick joke," Ginny grumbled as she looked through the papers. "How'd you even find out," 

"I was trying to clean Dumbledore's old office back in Grimmauld," Harry answered. 

"And the Delphini thing is that part of it?" Hermione pondered.

"No," Eva answered. "It ends with Voldemort's death, Delphini was never part of any of it," 

"Well, he can rest easy that his plan worked," Ginny sneered. "Just a group of puppets that are mostly kids," 

Ron nodded in agreement. "And now we have another war," 

"So what do we do?" Ron continued. 

Harry and Eva were at a loss for words. They didn't have a clue on what to do. 

It was a few moments later when Eva's thoughts came into a coherent sentence. "We bring the order back together,"
