Lost in memories || Harry Potter || R.A.B

Part 54

I'm late I'm so sorry😭

The next day, it was Harry's birthday. Diana had hugged him tightly and kissed him on the top of his head, wishing him a happy birthday and pushing her gift into his hands.

"A video camera" he said surprised and she nodded eagerly. "Yeah, it's rather old, but it works pretty well, you can add nee videos, there's old ones on there with your parents, Sirius, Remus, me and some others you won't recognise- except for Peter of course."

A smile grew on Harry's face as he looked down at the camera. "Are you sure?" He asked, it did hold some of her best memories after all. "Positive," she reassured him. "Besides, I have a copy of the same camera, we actually all had copies..." she trailed off and looked at the camera.

"This one was actually James' copy, thought he'd want you to have it." She said and he beamed at her. "Thank you, so much Diana!" He said and looked like he couldn't wait to watch the video's that where on there.

Remus arrived soon after breakfast, though he had a happy attitude when wishing Harry a happy birthday, it soon changed as he looked in the daily prophet.

Sirius was currently in the bathroom -well, that's what he had said, but Diana knew he was actually getting Harry's birthday present.

"There have been another couple of Dementor attacks," He announced, as Molly gave him a large slice of birthday cake, which Diana knew he wouldn't finish's within an hour.

"And they've found Igor Karkaroff's body in a shack up north. The Dark Mark had been set over it -well, frankly, I'm surprised he stayed alive for even a year after deserting the Death Eaters." He shrugged, turning a page.

"Sirius's brother Regulus only managed a few days as far as I can remember." He said it so nonchalant, Diana didn't really know how to react.

The realisation dawned on his face moments later as he looked up at her slightly hurt face and then at Pippa who was biting her lip.

"Actually," she's laid rather agitated. "He managed over a month." She bit and Remus nodded. "Right, sorry." He quickly said.

"Yes, well," said Molly, frowning, "perhaps we should talk about something diff-" But Bill continued.

"Did you hear about Florean Fortescue, Remus?" He asked, as he was being plied with wine by Fleur. "The man who ran-"

"-The ice-cream place in Diagon Alley?'"Harry interrupted, with an unpleasant tone, sounding rather shocked. "He used to give me free ice creams. What's happened to him?"

"Dragged off, by the look of his place." Bill said, shaking his head slightly as he sipped his wine.

"Why?" asked Ron, while Molly pointedly glared at Bill. "Who knows? He must've upset them somehow. He was a good man, Florean."

"Wasn't he Alice's uncle, Diana?" Remus looked at Diana who nodded. "He was, I remember she worked there in the summer of 1976 and 1977, dad loved the place."

"Talking of Diagon Alley," Arthur spoke up aswel, "looks like Ollivander's gone too."

"The wand-maker?" Asked Ginny, looking rather startled. "That's the one. Shop's empty. No sign of a struggle. No one knows whether he left voluntarily or was kidnapped."

"But wands- what'll people do for wands?" Ginny asked confused. "They'll make do with other makers," said Remus. "But Ollivander was the best, and if the other side have got him it's not so good for us."

Sirius then came into the room with a large package in his arms. "Took you long enough." Diana said, making him glare at her. "It's a heavy package- and I forgot to wrap it." He confessed, making her and a few others chuckle.

"Now, Harry, sixteen is a rather important age, so a rather important gift." Sirius set it in front of Harry who unpacked it curiously.

When the wrapping paper was disbarred on the ground, Harry watched his eyes out at the fireworks in a basket.

"Sirius, no." Diana whined, already flinching at the thought of the loud bangs the fireworks would give.

Sirius gave her wn apologetic look. "Fireworks are rather important, I say we light some tonight." He said making the children cheer in excitement.

"Didn't you already give Harry a gift?" Ron asked and Sirius shrugged. "Two actually, but there is no harm in spoil in my godson." Sirius waved it away.

That evening, before dinner, the door opened and in walked Charlie and Elara, making Diana get up with a smile to greet the both of them.

"Oh, I haven't spoken to you in ages." Elara said as they hugged each other. "You've been exchanging daily letters." Charlie pointed out making both women turn on him and he put his hands up in defence.

"How's scrub? Had she been alright without me?" Diana asked. "Well, she's fine, but I think she does miss you, you should come visit some time."

"That's a great idea! I could take Pip with me." She looked at the girl who's face immediately lit up. "Really?" She asked and Diana nodded.

"Are you sure that's a good idea?" Molly looked rather doubtful. "It's fine, their just dragons, nothing to dangerous." Diana shrugged.

The room except for Charlie and Elara looked at her as if they thought a whole lot different if that statement.

"It'll be alright mum, the dragons aren't that scary, and she can meet Ender and his beautiful younglings. And of course scrub." He grinned making Diana grin in excitement.

"Not today though, maybe somewhere this summer and otherwise another time." She said. "But I think this summer wil work."

The day after Harry's birthday, their letters and book lists arrived from Hogwarts.

Molly finally gave in on letting them go to Hogsmeade but insisting their father came, and the ministry probably would get some security for them- or well, Harry- aswel.

Sirius and Diana went that afternoon, planning to go back to the Potter manor after.

They just walked around to see the changes since Voldemorts return, and to visit the twins of course.

They entered the shop and had to duck for something flying their way and hitting the door instead.

They looked at each other and started laughing before walking further into the shop.

"James would've loved this." Sirius said as he looked around. Diana silently nodded.

"Andy!" They turned around to see the twins approaching. "Sirius." George nodded casually.

"Finally decided to visit us?" Fred said with a grin. "Couldn't put it off any longer." Diana smiles. "It looks great." She pointed out and the twins looked proud.

The two of them showed Diana and Sirius around, proudly telling them about their products.

After a while, Sirius and Diana had to leave, and but the Twins goodbye. Though they insisted they both choose something to take with them which happily did.

Sirius chose nosebleed nougat while Diana chose 'weather in a bottle.'

Sorry for the short chapter I was in a rush because I forgot I had to update, sorry again!!
