Sadly I do not own any of the Harry Potter characters that appear in this story. The only characters I claim ownership of are, Jane Potter and any random Hogwarts students.
Harry sat looking through the photo album for the hundredth time that year. He turned the page from the wedding party to a picture of his parents. Then he noticed that there were two pages stuck together. It was a picture of his dad standing next to Sirius and Lilly, but there was also another person. She was laughing and shoving James and Sirius. She had the same unruly hair as James and looked a lot like him. Her eyes were the same hazel. Lilly was laughing at her and across the bottom of the picture in a neat handwriting was the names of the people in order, Sirius Black, James Potter, Jane Potter, and Lilly Evans. They looked like they were still Hogwarts students in the picture.
Harry touched the picture and it shifted. The other pictures had been stuck firm. Harry gently pulled the picture away from the backing. A small plastic bag was taped to the back of the picture with a note in the same neat handwriting.
Harry,
I knew you probably wouldn't ever meet me. I'm not sure that you'll even get this. Please take these memories of mine. I'm sure if Voldemort hadn't gotten the best of me and your parents I would have been around quite a lot. I hope this note finds you well. These memories will show you a bit about your parents and me. Stay safe.
Love Your Aunt,
Jane Potter
Harry sat there in shock staring down at the parchment. This girl in the picture was his aunt. Harry looked at the little plastic baggy before putting it in his pocket and repositioning the picture. An owl landed on his table with a note from Ron and Hermione. Harry smiled. Those two had finally gotten married last month. He ripped open the envelope that the letter had come in.
Hey Harry,
How are things there? We just got back from our trip to Australia. We were thinking of coming over for a visit tomorrow. Do you mind? Reply by return post hope to see you soon. Oh and Ginny says hi.
Ron
Harry turned the paper over and scribbled a quick ok on the back. Then he sent it off with the owl. Harry went upstairs to Sirius's old room in Grimmauld Place. He sat down on the bed then remembered the memories in his pocket. He stood and started searching the room for a pensieve. He checked all of the cabinets and any other hiding place Sirius might have used. There wasn't one anywhere around. Finally he went over into Regulus's room. There on a low table covered in Slytherin memorabilia was a shallow basin. Harry walked over to it and held the memories in his hand. He debated on whether or not to wait for Ron and Hermione. Finally he tipped the bag of memories into the basin before diving into the memories.
