Brother's Keeper (wtm)

Norbert

Hedwig has just flown down to the table where Harry, Ron, and Hermoine are studying "Hi, Hedwig" Harry says petting the owl's head fondly.

Harry looks sadly at the screen remembering his time with Hedwig. Draco noticing goes to comfort him but makes eye contact with his dad and flinches at the glare he throws at him. But then he meets the eyes of Iris who is smiling softly at him making him relax and pull Harry closer to him. 

Little James noticing his uncle is sad crawls into his arms to give him a hug his head resting over Harry's shoulder as he hugs him. Then he meets eyes with Lucius and gives him the famous Mikaelson glare that his Uncle Puppy taught him and makes a slit-your-throat motion with his thumb.

Lucius noticing the actions looks around with wide eyes seeing if anyone else saw what the devil spawn did. Elijah chuckles at catching what his nephew did before muttering "Definitely his father's son."

 "Look at you, playing with your cards. Pathetic! We've got final exams coming up soon" Hermione tells the boys knowing they need to be studying.

Ron throws his arms up "I'm ready. Ask me any question" Ron told his friend with faux confidence.

"Alright, what are the three most crucial ingredients in a Forgetfulness Potion?" Hermione asks knowing he won't know Ron glances up shyly saying "I forgot." Iris walking up in just enough time to hear the conversation laughs softly at the poor boy and sits down next to Hermione who smiles happily at the older witch before continuing "And what, may I ask, do you plan to do if this comes up in the final exam?" Hermione insists Ron sarcastically responds, "Copy off you?"

Sirius nods remembering the many arguments with Moony when it came to studying. Remus having the same thoughts rolls his eyes feeling Hermione's pain.

 "No, you won't. Besides, according to Professor McGonagall, we're to be given special quills bewitched with an anti-cheating spell." Hermione snaps back Ron gasps beyond offended looks at Harry and yells "That's insulting! It's as if they don't trust us! [checks a card, irritated] Dumbledore again!"

Just then, Neville Longbottom comes hopping into the Great Hall with his legs stuck together as the other students laugh at him. "Leg-Locker Curse?" Ron questions with a confused expression.

"Malfoy" Harry responded with a deadpanned face not impressed. Neville approaches them amidst laughter from the other students. Iris glares at everyone who laughs before helping steady Neville making everyone look away from the older girl sheepishly.

Malfoy slides down his seat embarrassed of his past actions and wishing Neville was here so he could apologize again.

James somewhat relates to the boy his son fell for also regretting some of his past pranks that he knows weren't the nicest. Glad that he stopped the meaner pranks and mainly doing pranks that made everyone laugh like the time they jinxed McGongall's wand to only shoot confetti out.

"You have got to start standing up to people, Neville" Ron tells the boy. Neville wobbling uncontrollably in Iris's arms asks "How? I can barely stand at all!"

Seamus jumping up, wand at the ready "I'll do the countercurse!" Neville immediately shouts "No, that's all I need! You to set my bloody kneecaps on fire!"

Seamus slams his wand down angrily "I don't appreciate the insinuation, Longbottom. Besides, if anyone cares to notice, my eyebrows have completely grown back!" He yells then stalks off angrily, showing a large chunk of hair missing from the back of his head.

Everyone in the hall laughs loudly finding the boy who always managed to blow stuff up hilarious. Harry and the future generation are laughing a long remembering their friend blowing up stuff throughout the years.
