It was a nice sunny day in the middle of August, one of those days where it's neither to hot nor to cold due to a small breeze. Though the neighborhood didn't stand as one of the most friendly, nothing seemed to be able to break through the happiness and joy coming from a group of three there, if anyone paid attention, somehow happened to come out of thin air in the space right between Number eleven and thirteen Grimmauld Place.
When looking at the group the first one to notice of the three, maybe because of his happiness or simply because he was the only adult, was black haired man with glasses.
The next thing was the two boys, one, the youngest, was exactly like the man, his father, just without glasses which made his green eyes visible. The brother, a slightly bit older, had the same look as they two others, just with the difference that his eyes and hair was brown.
All three of them, Harry Potter and his two oldest children, his sons, was clearly enjoying themselves. Through Harry would have loved having Ginny, his wife, and Lily, his only daughter, there with them, he knew the boys enjoyed being just with him, something of which he did not have words to describe. It made him so happy knowing that he was wanted and loved be those he cared for.
"You know, I still think it would have been so much easier just traveling directly to Diagon Alley," James said, continuing a talk they had had from inside number twelve Grimmauld Place.
"Have patience James. Look the weather is great, we are in no hurry and we got all week before anyone expect us to be back home again." Harry smiled to his oldest son there with his thirteen couldn't wait to get to the magic Alley.
Albus on the other hand took one thing at the time and right now, he just enjoyed walking next to his dad.
"Beside I think it might do you some good having to take the muggle way know and then." Harry blinked down to Al from behind James' back as the boy signed very loud.
"Now I really do feel unwanted," James looked horrified for half a second before they all started laughing.
"But come on, we would have been there by now. I mean can't you not just apparition us there now?"
"I…" Whatever Harry attempted to say was cut off by the appearing of a silver terrier, a patronus.
"Class A at 2259 sir, it's the man we been after sir," the patronus spoke with the voice of Harry's assistant, sounding both busy and sorry for having to break down his boss' holiday.
Al looked worried at his father whose entire appearance had change from the sight of the patronus, gone was the cherry family father and instead was the protector of the wizard world, head of the aurors and special service with a drawn out wand.
"Al, James, get back to the house now. When you are there, call Ron and make him go get you." A sad smile played at the corner of his mouth, "I'm sorry boys, next time we'll take the direct way."
And with that he was of, running, having recognized the number as being just around the corner.
James looked into Al's green eyes, "hell no, not this time!" And the two boys started running after their father.
