When Juliet woke the next morning, George was still snoring away. She smiled softly at his sleeping face, ever so peaceful.

Leaning over, she pressed a soft kiss to his cheek before prying herself from his arms and out of the bed. As much as she wanted to sit and cuddle him all morning, she had plans and not a lot of time.

She grabbed a Gryffindor hoodie which she'd stolen from Fred and threw it on. (It had his quidditch number on it as well as the wide words WEASLEY on the back.) Taking off her pajama shorts, she opted for her usual cargo jeans, which made it easy to hide her wand as they had many pockets.

She walked down the stairs to the dining room, finding a gigantic breakfast feast that Molly always prepared. Mostly everyone was awake, minus the Weasley children and Jamie.

"Ready to see Potter Manor today, Har?" Juliet asked as she sat down beside him, absolutely avoiding the gazes of her parents and Sirius. "I've never been, other than when i was a baby."

"I'll be going with you." Edith spoke up, having already been looking at her daughter.

"Odd, i don't remember inviting you." Juliet met her mother's blazing eyes. "It'll just be me and Harry. And Reg, if he wishes."

Regulus knew better than to talk as the two Féinics women stared one another down. But, if he didn't, they'd probably rip each others heads off. "I think we should all go. Its just as much mine, Sirius, Edie, and Remus' home as it is Harry's. We each called it home once upon a time."

Juliet took a deep breath in. "Sure. Big family outing." She said, her eyes finally leaving her mothers and back down to her plate.

The group, minus the Weasleys and Hermione who stayed behind, all apparated to Potter Manor.

Despite not having been touched in almost 16 years...it looked as new as the last time they'd stepped foot in it.

Regulus, Edith, and Sirius all halted at the door. They hadn't been inside the Manor since Edith, Remus, and Juliet went into hiding at the end of August, 1979.

Harry had to be the one to open the door, as the magic wards placed over the house only allowed someone of Potter blood to enter.

Him and Juliet stepped inside, hand in hand as they looked around the grand foyer. "Wow... is this how purebloods live?"

"It was a shock to me too the first time i came here." Remus said as he too stepped inside, little Jamie in his arms. "I grew up in Lupin Cottage, which is far from rich."

There were still many framed photos on the walls, portraits and moving photos. Many of 10 year old James and Edith along with them during their Hogwarts years.

"Féinics Manor is actually quite a bit bigger, if you can believe it. Me and Edie felt like two specs of dust in that house when we first arrived." Remus also added as they moved more into the house.

Regulus broke away from Edith and Sirius, walking straight towards the room he shared with his late husband and wife.

"Feels weird..." Edith mumbled as she walked inside with Sirius, her arm wrapped around his. "It wasn't the same without Mum and Dad. Definitely not the same without James."

"Agreed." Sirius nodded as they walked through the living room to the back garden. "Look, Mia's roses are still growing."

Edith softly smiled and kneeled down to the ever so prosperous roses. "Of course they are. Mum wouldn't have let anything of hers die."

Remus had suddenly appeared in the back garden, a sad expression on his face. "You... you two might want to go to James' room."

Edith stood back up. "Why—Reggie."
