"Dad? What's this?" Thalia asked, her hand pointing to the red leather album sat open on top of the bookshelf, showing a moving picture of four boys and two girls laughing.

"Oh, that's just an album of my school days" I told her as she took the album in her hands, examining it.

She touched her fingers to her smiling mothers face and a smile appeared on her face too.

"She always seems so happy whenever I see pictures of her" she whispered, tears forming in her eyes as the words escaped her lips

"That's because she was a naturally happy person," I said, placing my arms around her shoulders, slightly squeezing. I blinked rapidly as I tried to hide the tears also forming in my eyes.

"Did you love her dad?" she asked looking up at me, looking so much like the woman I loved, and lost.

"Yeah. I did and still do" I said embracing my long lost daughter.

"I love you too, weirdo" someone said at the entrance to the living room

The last thing I saw was red and gold hair and hazel eyes before everything turned black.

I couldn't control my laughter. He fainted, he actually fainted.

Thalia sat there, the gears turning in that pretty little head of hers as she looked between the album sat in her hands, Sirius' unconscious body and me laughing.

"Don't worry, you're not hallucinating kiddo. It's me" I said with a smile on my face as I saw my only child standing there, all grown up and beautiful.

Realisation replaced her shocked expression as a permanent grin plastered on her face as she took slight steps towards me.

"Uncle Remus! Uncle Arthur! Aunt Molly! Bill! Anybody! You have to see this!" she screamed. Footsteps echoed outside the room as the figure of a certain werewolf best friend appeared in the doorway.

"Thal what's wro-" Remus started but stopped short as he saw me. His jaw dropped as he looked me up and down, blinking rapidly as to see if he was dreaming.

"Hello there Moony, looking dashing as usual" I said. Smirking, I let out a few chuckles as Remus continued to blink, the rays of sunlight from outside illuminating his scarred face.

"Remus? What's wrong?" The figure of my older brother appeared behind Remus, glasses perched on the tip of his nose. His eyes found mine and I watched as they slightly widened.

"A.. Alexia?" he asked. He took his glasses in his hand and rubbed the lenses with the sleeve of his robes before placing them back on his nose. His widened even more as he realised I was not just a figment of his imagination.

"It's me big bro." I turned to look at Molly, who had appeared beside my brother. I expected her to talk but she just stared, looking at me as if I was a ghost

A head of ginger hair appeared behind the three adults. An elbow pushed through the gap between the married couple and my nephew emerged from the growing crowd. I was shocked to find that the eleven year old boy that I knew fourteen years ago had grown a ponytail and had a fang hanging from his ear.

"Aunt Lexi?" he said his voice shaking. I nodded at him as he took a few more steps towards. His arms wrapped around my shoulders and his face buried itself into my hair.

"I thought you were dead" he whispered. Hot tears fell on to my scalp as my nephew, who had grown to be a head taller than me might I add, squeezed tighter on to me like I was going to disappear.

"I had to make up some excuse" I said. I pulled back from the hug to smile at him. I looked behind him and rose and eyebrow at Arthur and Molly, quite offended that they had done nothing but stare at me this whole time.

"I've been gone for fourteen years and I don't even get a hug?" I ask. I opened my arms as my older brother sprinted towards me, taking me in his arms and lifting me slightly off the ground.

"You're alive, oh merlin, you are" he said and looked down at me "my little sister" tears ran down his cheeks and I could feel tears running down mine as well.

"Molly?" I asked but she was already ahead of me, wrapping her arms around me and squeezing slightly

"You don't understand how good it is to see you Alexia oh my" she said shaking her head and laughing "you're alive!"

I laughed and looked at Moony who was still staring at me, gobsmacked in the doorway

I walked up to him and knocked him on the head

"Is anybody awake? It's summer not winter Moony you don't have to go into hibernation anytime soon" I said and he shaked his head.

"Is that really you Lex?" he asked tears forming in his eyes

"No, it's the abominable snowman" I said, sarcasm dripping off my tongue.

"What?"

"Yes it's me you dimwitted animal!"

"That's you" he said and wrapped his arms around me, crying into my hair

After we were done I pointed my wand at Sirius and he woke up.

He looked around at all the puffy eyed, smiling faces around him before his eyes landed on me

"No it can't be" he said shaking his head

"Sirius it's definitely me" I said as he got up and paced around the room

"I'm hallucinating, god Azkaban has driven me mad"

"Sirius-"

"Stupid Pettigrew, stupid dementors, stupid-"

"Sirius-"

"I should just kill mysel-"

"Sirius Orion Black!" I screamed. I grabbed on to his hand as the image of the love of my life's dead body surfaced into my mind, making me weak at the knees.

He looked down at my hand, my tiny fingers embracing his long ones. His thumb went to rub the large diamond band on my ring finger, the one he gave me.

He looked up at me, tears in his wonderful stormy eyes.

"It is you" he said and pulled me into him

I planted a long hard kiss on his lips and he kissed back just as hard. I hadn't been able to feel his lips against mine for fourteen years and to finally feel the sparks I get every time I kissed him gave me relief.

"I love you, weirdo" I said as I pulled away from the kiss and smiled up at him.

"I love you too, loser"

A cough could be heard from the doorway and I turned around to see a bunch of red headed kids, a girl with bushy brown hair and my dear godson raising their eyebrows at us

I laughed. I had a lot of explaining to do
