Once everyone is settled down and Lily and Hermione have helped set up the tapes, the screen lights up

The screen shows that it is nighttime in Surrey and we see an owl on the street sign that says "PRIVET DRIVE" before the camera pans to a street with very identical-looking brown-bricked houses. The owl is shown flying away and an elderly man with crimson robes and a long silvery white beard walks out of a forest near the street

"What is Dumbledore doing?" A random Gryffindor asks

"Maybe if it was quiet, we would find out," Adeline says with a roll of her eyes making Celestia snort

He takes out some kind of device and zaps all the light out of the lampposts

"Wicked," The Prewett twins chorus in amazement

"I want it," James announces without taking his eyes off the screen

Celestia, Fred, and George simply nod in agreement

He puts away the device and a cat meows, catching Dumbledore's attention

"MINNIE" the Marauders, the Weasley Twins, the Prewett twins, and 3/4 of the Golden Trio yell happily

"How many times have I told you, boys, not to call me that?" the professor gives her students a stern look while Hermione gives Fred, George, Harry, Ron, and Celestia a look making them look away from her immediately

"About as many times as we've called you it," Sirius responds cheekily making the woman shake her head as she tries to hide a smile

Meanwhile, Adeline and Regulus are horrified at the fact that Celestia seems to take after her uncle in the troublemaker department

"This is your fault, Black" the raven-haired beauty groans quietly as if her daughter can't hear them either way

Regulus gives her an incredulous look, "I didn't birth Sirius. This is my mother's fault," he defends himself, though his future wife just raises an eyebrow before turning back to the screen

Celestia giggles at her parents making Reggie look down at her, "You see how she treats me?" he asks with a dramatic hand wave as Celestia smiles at him

"I should have known that you would be here," Dumbledore pauses because he's dramatic, "Professor McGonagall"

The cat continues to silently stare at him, and the camera turns towards a wall while the cat's shadow turns into a woman with a tall hat. There are footsteps before a woman with glasses is shown on the screen

"I TOLD YOU," Sirius yells making Adeline roll her eyes

"Nobody disagreed, Sirius. In fact, there were like 10 other people who said the same thing" she points out, already over this whole movie situation

"Good evening, Professor Dumbledore." The professor greets before moving to be side by side with Dumbledore "Are the rumors true, Albus?" She asks, turning to look at him with a solemn expression before looking ahead

"I'm afraid so, Professor. The good, and the bad." Albus replies impassively as McGonagall snaps her head to look at him again

"So Lily and James Potter are really...dead?" She asks again

"Sadly, yes" Dumbledore replies half-heartedly

"What?" Marlene whispers as her voice breaks

Mary, Marlene, and Alice immediately hug Lily tight as tears flow from all four of them
