I woke up to the sound of an owl and Ginny talking to Mrs. Weasley and Ron. Me and Hermione ran out of the room.

"Is that an owl I heard?" Hermione asked.

"You haven't seen him, have you? Apparently he's wondering about the house", Ginny said.

"Really?" Hermione asked.

"Really", Ron said.

"We're talking about my Godbrother, Harry, right?" I asked.

For those who don't understand, here's the history between me and Harry. Harry's mom, Lily and my mom, Harley, are sisters. So Harry is my cousin. But before I was born, James and Lily made my father, Sirius, Harry's godfather.

Ever since I had started at the Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry, me and Harry were close. The Weasleys were like a second family, but Harry is the closest I have to a brother.

Anyways, we all went downstairs and found Harry. Ginny was the first to hug him. They hugged for a long time until they finally let go.

"Harry", Hermione said as she hugged him. After Hermione, Ron got his hug.

"Hi Harry", I said as I hugged Harry. Then, Mrs. Weasley hugs Harry.

"Why didn't you let us know you were coming?" Mrs. Weasley asked as she laughs with joy.

"I didn't know. Dumbledore", Harry said.

"Oh, that man. What would we do without him?" Mrs. Weasley asked.

Harry and Mrs. Weasley looked at Ron, who pointed at Hermione. "Got a bit of toothpaste", he says to Hermione.

Me and Ginny were in her room that night. I smiled at her as she was reading a book. Ginny looked at me.

"What?" Ginny asked.

I rolled my eyes. "Don't think I didn't notice that hug between you and Harry, Ginny", I said.

"It was just a hug", Ginny said.

"Ginerva Weasley", I said.

"Irina Black", Ginny said.

"Admit it, love. You like Harry", I said.

"Iris, I'm dating Dean. You know that".

I also know that her and Dean have been having problems lately. They've been arguing a lot lately. And it's easy to tell that Ginny's unhappy.

"I know about you and Dean. Forget him. You like Harry Potter", I said. Ginny rolled her eyes. "Ginny and Harry, sitting in a tree. K-i-s-s-i-n-"

Before I could finish, Ginny grabbed a pillow and hit me in the stomach with it. I laughed. We hit at each other with pillows as we laughed.

Harley laid in bed, looking up at the ceiling. Harley looks at her sister, who was a year older than her.

"Lily? Lily?" Harley asked. "Are you awake?"

Lily looked at Harley. "What's wrong, Harley?" Lily asked.

"I can't sleep", Harley said.

"Come sit with me", Lily said. She scooted over in her bed to make room for her. Harley got out of her bed and got into bed with Lily. "I heard you spoke with Sirius today. Are you alright?".

"I thought maybe he could be good. Maybe he could...". Harley sighs. Lily grabbed her hand.

"Talk to me, Harley. Help me understand so I can help you", Lily said. Harley looked at her hand there was a scar from one of her practices with Sirius, Peter and James.

"I thought we could be friends", Harley said. Lily didn't say anything, but she was surprised. "I'm weak, aren't I?"

"No. Caring and seeing good in others doesn't not make you weak", Lily said. "It just means you have a good heart and that's alright".

"Do you think there's good in him? That deep down inside, he's not a bully?"

Instead of answering Harley's question, Lily smiled.

"What?" Harley asked.

"Harley. You like him, don't you?" Lily asked.

"Ew, no", Harley said. Lily laughed.

"Don't fib. You like Sirius", Lily said.

Harley shook her head as she held back a smile. "Do not", Harley said.

"Do too", Lily laughed.

Harley grabbed a pillow and hits her with it. Harley and Lilly smacked pillows at each other as they squealed with laughter.
