'What died didn't stay dead. you're alive, you're alive in my head.'

They arrived back at Grimmauld Place only minutes before midnight— the train ride taking slightly longer for some odd reason. When Rory saw Remus for the first time at the station, she hugged him so hard he almost passed out. She hadn't seen him in weeks.

Rory opened the door to number twelve to see a very happy Sirius Black. "Dad!" she squealed. He chuckled and hugged her as tightly as he could.

"Oh I've missed you, pup." he said into the side of her head before kissing it.

"Alright, alright, let everyone past." Molly exclaimed. Rory left Sirius' side and trailed into the living room as Harry hugged him. She sighed with a smile and hugged Victoria.

"How've you been, pickle?" she asked, sitting down on one of the sofas.

"I've been okay— better than I thought I'd be. How about you?"

"Much better, actually. Your dad— well, Remus- signed me up for this muggle thing called therapy—you heard of it?" When Rory shook her head, she continued. "Well, it's where you sit down with a professional and talk about your feelings, they give you advice and things to do to help you cope."

"Oh really? How's that been going?"

"Quite well actually, I didn't realise how much I needed to get off my chest." Victoria chuckled and Rory smiled. "Enough about me— how've you and Enzo been?"

"Oh! We've been okay— same as usual, really. Draco has been a bit of a prick but that's nothing new."

"Oh really? What'd he do this time?"

"Well, him and I were arguing and he said 'Why am I friends with a depressed, annoying werewolf with a dead brother?' and then Enzo punched him in the face."

Victoria gasped, "Oh Merlin! What a cunt! Not Enzo, of course."

Rory laughed, "He is exactly that. He hasn't spoken to us in weeks— which is for the best. He's been hanging out with Marcus Flint just to get on my nerves."

"He is just like his parents, I'm telling you. Sirius would agree."

"What'you talking about me for?" Sirius smiled, sitting down next to his daughter and wrapping his arm around her.

"We were discussing how all of the Malfoy's are attention-seeking, incapable of love, rude pricks." Rory answered before Victoria could. Both her and Sirius burst into laughter, not expecting her to say something like that.

Rory started laughing too, "It's true, isn't it?" Victoria and Sirius carried on laughing but nodded as well. Laughing with Victoria made Rory feel like Cedric was still here and laughing with them. It was like he was sitting in the chair opposite them, chuckling like a maniac. Amos would be next to Victoria as the both of them laughed in the same way they always did.

"What are you three giggling about?" Christopher asked, sitting opposite them— ruining the image Rory had of Cedric sitting there instead. She shook her head and the smile slowly faded.

"Rory just said something hilarious about the Malfoy Family." Victoria answered, still slightly chuckling.

"Don't even get me started on that family— Enzo told me what he said to you the other day. I had never been so proud once he told me he punched him afterwards." Chris sighed.

"Yeah, Draco ran off crying as well." Rory added, the smile creeping back. Chris, Victoria and Sirius chuckled, all of them not expecting anything different.
