The man stiffened, but he didn't turn around. He quickly grabbed the nearest item — a toy cactus — and threw it over his shoulder in her direction. The cactus bounced off the window and fell to the ground. Hermione blinked slowly and called out, "Did you just… throw a cactus at me? I'm not even inside the store!"

Every day, Remus and Sirius fought over the most inconsequential things, but the thing that most irked James was that their arguments would escalate — and they would start yelling at each other in German. Of all things, German was their go-to language, and James thought the foreign words they spat at each other sounded harsh and cruel.

They had been visiting Frank every other day ever since that fateful day back in 1981, but Alice still had trouble believing Frank wasn't Frank anymore.

And now… Now, he could barely even recognize his family.

"Where is he, Kreacher? Did he go to the Department of Mysteries?" Harry roared after the elf. Before Kreacher could reply, the door swung open behind the house-elf and Remus walked in.

Even if she didn't want to live, she wanted to bring her child into the world. Her child had done nothing wrong and didn't deserve to die out in the freezing cold.

Dumbledore knew what he had to do. He had to wipe Trelawney's memory of visiting him. If she didn't remember applying for the Divination post, she would never realize she had predicted something that could make or break the Wizarding World. Waving his wand and uttering just three syllables, Dumbledore's job was done.

When James Sirius Potter — who was called Jay by everyone so as to not be confused with his grandfather — was old enough to understand what had happened that fateful night, he asked his grandfather James to tell him the story of how he defeated the most terrifying wizard of the century.

Fred whispered, "Please… don't get mad at me, okay?" "Why would I —" Hermione's words got stuck in her throat when he slowly turned around to face her. Her eyes widened when she saw the stains of blood on his mouth. "Fred!"

He had always had a huge crush on the slightly older man, but as he listened to Remus ramble on about his prospective date, bitterness clogged his throat. "I want to surprise him, that's all," Remus murmured, his shoulders slumping at Regulus' tone. "If you don't have the time or energy to do it, then it's fine. I'll hire someone else to teach me the piano."
