(Memory in italics)

EDITED- 31/08/21

A couple of minutes later, the silence bouncing off the walls was stopped when everyone in the room heard faint voices and noticed the room was morphing into something other than just plain black.

"Look, the room is changing!" Ginny exclaimed.

No one else spoke as the voices in the memory became more clear.

"Come on pup, you can do it, say Padfoot!"

When Harry saw Sirius through the memory his eyes started watering.

"Come on prongslet. You can do it" Sirius was hyping baby Harry up.

"Moo-ee!" Baby Harry said and Sirius' jaw dropped. Remus stood by the doorway with a cup of tea in his hand, hiding his laughter. Sirius not noticing.

"No no, Harry. Not Moony, PAD-FOOT! Ok?" Sirius said in his most amusing voice.

"Moo-ee!" Baby Harry screeched and Remus couldn't contain his laughter any longer, he walked in the room and up to Sirius.

"Oh my Merlin Sirius!" He paused because he was laughing too much, "I guess Harry just prefers me." At this point Remus was rolling around in laughter.

"I hate you Moony," Sirius said with a pout.

"Oh you know you love me Padfoot." Remus responded in a childish voice, giving Sirius a kiss.

"Moo-ee!" Harry shouted once more, causing both adults to laugh.

And then, the memory ended.

The room turned black once more and Harry stood still, staring at where memory Sirius and Remus were, tears silently pouring out of his emerald green eyes.

Draco walked up to him, not uttering a word and hugged Harry, not exactly knowing why he was crying, but he was, and his boyfriend needed him.

"Sorry to ruin the moment." Blaise interrupted, "But I am lost, that memory seemed quite happy, why are there tears?"

Ron and Hermione looked at each other, then at Harry, and then back at each other wondering who was going to explain the situation.

Hermione was getting ready to explain until a voice beat her to it.

"They are dead." Harry said in a monotone voice, "Padfoot in fifth year, Moony in the battle."

"Oh, sorry for asking." Blaise now felt bad.

"Harry, you didn't tell me this." Draco said looking into Harry's beautiful eyes.

"Sorry."

"No need to be, Harry." Draco wrapped up the conversation by saying, still hugging Harry.

There was a somewhat comfortable silence for a few moments while Harry sorted himself out. He pulled out of the hug and coughed, "Sorry about that, I uh, didn't mean to get emotional or anything. Just wasn't expecting that memory."

"You really have nothing to apologise for Harry." Neville told him with a soft face and everyone in the room nodded in agreement.

"Thanks guys. It really does mean a lot to me that I have a group of amazing friends and an awesome boyfriend constantly by my side. Honestly, I don't know how you guys do it, even I find myself unbearable at times." Everyone was flattered and amused at the same time by Harry's words.

"I don't know how I do it either." Ron joked and Hermione nudged him on the elbow, "OW!"

"You, Ronald, are more unbearable than Harry." She stated and Ginny burst out laughing saying, "It is true!"

"How did you manage to insult me and Ron in the same sentence?" Harry asked in disbelief.

"Oh, It is just a talent of mine." She expressed and the whole room laughed.

The mood in the room changed in a matter of seconds when the next memory appeared.

"Mum? Dad?"
