(With Sirius)

Sirius Black was sitting on the floor in his family's library. Tears rolled down his face and onto the book in his hand. The book was a photo album. It was an old one he had forgotten about. It was filled with pictures of his school years. He was staring at the faces of James, Lily, and his baby brother. It really hurt to see them smiling, or in his brother's case scowling at him.

'I wish they were here.' He thought.

That was where Remus had found him. He had called Sirius to dinner and he didn't show. He had begun searching for him and finally found him in the library. He had seen the tears and the photo album and felt for him. He too missed their friends.

"Hi honey." He said as he sat down next to him.

"H-hey." He looked at him.

"Where did you find that?" He asked.

"In here. Top shelf. Turns out my dad put it in here for safe keeping." Sirius revealed.

"Wow." That was a shock.

"I was shocked too. Kreature told me when I asked." He said. "After I ran away to James' house he took everything he knew I held dear and hid them. He was afraid my mum would destroy them."

"I see."

"I miss them." He said.

"Me too." He said.

"I wish they had gotten to know Harry." He said.

"So do I but I believe they are still watching over them and us."

"Me too. I wouldn't be surprised if Lily led Lucas to Harry." Sirius chuckled.

"Me neither." He also chuckled.

"We need to copy these and send them to Harry." The grim animagus said.

"I agree. I'll even write a small summary of the pictures." Remus said.

"Good idea." He smiled at him.

"Thank you." The werewolf smiled back.

"You're welcome."

The two stayed on the floor for a few extra minutes. Afterwards they got to work. Once done they had a house elf take it to Harry. The elf returned with a thank you letter. Harry really appreciated their gift.

(With Harry)

Harry was in his room when the house elf brought a neatly wrapped gift. Harry recognized the elf. It was Galaxy, Remus's and Sirius's house elf. They had rescued him from his previous abusive master. He gave Harry the package and waited. On top was a letter.

Dear Harry,

I was in the library and found an old photo album. It actually belonged to me before I ran away. I believed that my mother had destroyed it, along with the rest of my things, after I had run away. I was wrong. My father hid everything.

I was looking through the photo album and realized it was mine and that It was from my teen years. It was filled with pictures of my brother and your parents. I copied all the ones that were of your parents and Remus wrote a description to go with them. I hope you enjoy them.

I love you pup,

Sirius Black

P.S: Remus loves you as well.

"Oh my." Harry quickly set the letter down and opened the gift.

He opened the book and looked through them. It made him tear up seeing the teenage faces of his parents, especially his father. Severus had shown him many pictures of his mum since they had been friends. Those pictures stopped after Lily and Severus had stopped talking. The potion master really regretted calling her a mudblood.

Severus and his father weren't friends. In fact they were enemies. Severus didn't have any pictures of the man. The house his parents were living in had been set on fire and no pictures had been found in the rubble. Remus's pictures had been destroyed by his father. The man couldn't handle having a werewolf as a son so when Remus was seventeen he was kicked out and his father destroyed his things.

Petunia had destroyed all the photos her parents had of Lily. Harry wouldn't have full access to the Potter vaults until he was lord. Augusta, Alice, and Frank had few photos and those were after they became friends with the Potters. Harry believed he wouldn't see many photos of his dad before he was a father until he was a lord.

The summaries next to the photos gave him a lot of insight into what led to the photos and he loved it. He kissed the last photo. Neville had entered the room.

"Everything okay?" He asked.

"Yeah. Sirius found his old photo album." He answered.

"His mum didn't destroy it?" That was a shock.

"No. His father knew his wife would and his son's things. The album was in the library. He copied the pictures of my parents and Sirius wrote up a summary for each photo. Afterwards they sent it to me." He explained.

"Wow." He went over and hugged them.

"Yeah." He hugged him back.

"Can I see?" The fairy asked.

"Yeah." Harry handed it over.

Neville looked through the album. He found it odd to look at his godparents. It was nice though. They then spent the evening going through their own albums and writing a summary of their pictures. Once done they worked on some homework before going to get dinner.
