Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter. There. That should be enough.
Return to Forever.
Beginning
It was peaceful in the wizard world. Or as peaceful as a world filled with magic could get. It was fourteen years since the battle between Harry Potter and the dark lord Voldemort.
Fourteen years since evil has lost.
Fourteen years and Diagon Alley hasn't changed much in the way everyone remembers it.
Every wizard and witch was busy in their lives. Buying, selling, bartering... it was like a normal occurrence but to a muggle, it would seem weird.
But this is the life of a wizard.
And witches.
Two redheads stuck out from the crowd. Since they were the only ones without hats, their fiery hairs do attract attention. But they themselves were too busy to notice. For they were in Diagon Alley to buy a perfect gift.
"Jamie!" her companion called. "Wait up!" Jamie turned to face her cousin.
"We have to hurry Lily. We need to get home by five," Jamie said but waited for Lily.
Jamie and Lily are cousins. Both are eleven year olds and both are entering Hogwarts this year. Both had elbow length hair of auburn and strangely... both were identical.
They both look alike. Exactly alike except in small details. Jamie had blue eyes, hair was slightly curly had an air of confidence surrounding her. Lily had green eyes behind a pair of glasses. Her hair was wavy and was tied back to a ponytail. She was shy in contrast to her cousin but both went along just fine.
"We've been searching for hours but can't find anything," Lily complained as she sighed.
"But we wanted it to be special," Jamie pouted. Looking at the shops, exasperated she sighed.
"Face it Jamie. We won't find anything for my dad," Lily said, sadden by that fact.
"Come one, Lily. There's got to be something for my dear uncle," Jamie said. Looking around, she found a shop that interested her. "Let's try this shop," Jamie said as she pulled Lily into an elegant curiosity shop.
"I don't think we could afford these," Lily said as she saw the elegant and beautiful curiosities around the shop.
"But we don't have a gift yet," Jamie sighed. But her eyes grew as she saw something behind the counter.
"Jamie? Why are you so quiet all of a sudden," Lily turned and saw why. On the counter, with his legs dangling was a boy their age smiling at them.
"Hello," he said as he jumped off and landed in front of them. "May I help you, my ladies?" he asked. Jamie and Lily blushed as the boy called them ladies. That and the fact that they thought that he were cute.
The boy had hair that was longer than theirs. It was odd but his hair had a combination of blue, black and brown. His eyes entranced them for it was unique. His left eye was dark blue while his right, was violet.
Both girls stared at him while the boy tried to figure out what was wrong.
"Hi," they both said shyly. The boy smiled and kissed their hands. A gesture only made by gentlemen to ladies.
"What is your pleasure, my ladies," he asked.
"You," Jamie said but Lily elbowed her side.
"We're looking for a gift for my father," she said instead, giving her cousin a frown.
"Could you tell me about your father?" he asked.
"Well," Lily thought for a moment before answering. "He's the best dad there is!"
The boy smiled upon hearing that then closed his eyes. Upon opening them, he immediately went back to the counter and gave the girl a box already wrapped.
"He'll love that," he said. They didn't know the reason but they trusted him.
"But what is it?" Jamie asked, curious about the gift.
"It's a surprise," he said.
"We may not be able to pay for it," Lily said worriedly but the boy smiled at them.
"You already have with your smiles," the boy said making the girls blush.
"How can we pay for it?" Jamie asked.
"I'll consider it paid when you tell me your names and birthdates."
"Why birthdates?" Lily asked.
"It's another surprise," the boy smiled.
"Okay," Jamie smiled. "My name is Jamie."
"My name is Lily," this caused the boy to smile.
"We're not twins," Jamie said.
"We're cousins," Lily said. "Our birthday is on August 5."
"The package is paid," the boy smiled at them. "I hope your father likes it," he told Lily who blushed. "Be careful now," he told Jamie who blushed as well.
As the two girls left, the boy sighed happily and sat on the floor. Wishing he could see them again.
*** ***
"Let's do it," Jamie said as they huddled in a corner. Lily was nervous. She didn't know if her father would like it.
"I don't know," Lily said shyly. It was her father's birthday so she was nervous in bringing him a gift that she herself didn't open.
"He generates trust like granddad Albus," Jamie smiled as she pulled her cousin to meet see her father. "I trust that boy." Inwardly, Lily agreed. She took a deep breath and went to see his father.
"A Happy Birthday to the best uncle I have," Jamie said as she kissed her uncle.
"Watch it Jamie," Jamie's mother smiled. "You're other uncles might get jealous."
"But it's his birthday," Jamie faked a pout. "Come on. Just for today?" she pleaded. The whole household laughed and her uncle kissed her back.
"Thank you," he smiled. He brushed his unruly black hair with his hand as he spied his daughter. "Lily?"
"We.... Ah... have something for you, daddy," Lily said shyly and handed her father their gift. "From Jamie and I."
"Thank you girls," he gave them a big hug and a kiss. They we're both nervous. What is he REALLY didn't like it? What then?
As Lily's father opened his present, his eyes widen in shock.
"Oh, my," Lily's mother exclaimed as she saw their gift. The girls cringed as they feared they had made a mistake. But when they saw Lily's father's face, they became confused.
He had a look of nostalgia as he pulled the gift out of the box. It was an elegant golden pocket watch that hung from a chain. Lily's father closed his eyes, smiling as he opened the cover. As he did, sweet chime of music engulfed the room. Lily and Jamie smiled as the tone soothes their spirits.
"Harry?" Lily's mother smiled as she hugged her husband from behind.
"I know Ginny," he said as he looked at the watch. He smiled in intrigue as he looked into the watch.
"Bloody hell," Jamie's father said, his wife smacked him in the arm and glared at him.
"Language Ron," she warned. "Honestly," she sighed but smiled at Harry.
"You don't have to be that rough, Hermione," Ron said as he rubbed his arm. But his wife smirked and looked at the girls.
"Have you been in Diagon Alley without us knowing?" she asked. Jamie was expecting a reprimand but not this. Her mother was sweet and understanding. Not that she was strict and told them off. But they really did go without permission. This was their first time at it too.
"I asked Uncle Fred if we could come with him to their shop and we walked around for a while," Jamie said, clearly confused why one single watch could have this reaction. Lily was just as confused as her cousin but looking at the smiles of her parent's faces, she decided it could wait.
Harry looked at the girls and smiled. He held out his hand and showed them the watch. The girls looked at it curiously and gaped in awe.
Inside was a photo of all of them. Jamie's parents and Lily's parent with her grandparents. How it was possible she could not know. THEY were even in it. A knock on the door snapped them from their trance.
"I'll get it," Ginny said and opened the door. The girls saw that there was something inscribed.
In each of our heart forever.
"Where did you get this?" Harry asked but had an idea.
"We got it in Diagon alley," Jamie said proudly.
"In a shop called the Lion's Heart," Lily said.
"Just as before," Ginny smiled as she opened the door. Blinking, she saw a boy the same age as the girls smiling at her. He seemed familiar but couldn't point out where it was.
"Good evening, my lady," he said. Even the tone he was using was familiar. When he came into the light, she noticed that, to her surprise, his eyes were of different color. One was blue and the other was violet.
"Good evening," she smiled back.
"Does Jamie and Lily live here?" he asked. Ginny nodded and the boy sighed.
"Finally, I thought I got lost," he smiled. "It is a little early but I wanted to give them this," he brought up two covered domes almost half his height. "A birthday present." Looking at the boy, Ginny could tell that she was starting to like him.
"Thank you, I'll call them. Jamie! Lily!" she called but as soon as she turned, the boy was not there. She looked around but found no one. Looking down the two domes were still there.
"What is it mum?" Lily asked as she and Jamie stood beside her.
"Someone was here bringing you gifts," Ginny said puzzlingly at the girls.
"What gift?" Jamie asked. Before Ginny could answer, a pair of hoots came from the domes. Squealing, the girls looked at Ginny expectantly and she smiled and gave them a nod. Each of them took a dome and uncovered it, revealing what they expected.
Each of them had gotten a snow-white owl that looked at them expectantly. They smiled and looked at Ginny.
"Who gave it, Aunt Ginny?" Jamie asked. Lily was twice as curious but her mother shrugged.
"A handsome young man," she said as she smirked. "He had long hair and different color of eyes." The girls dropped their jaws in surprise.
"Is his left blue?" Jamie asked.
"And his right violet?" Lily finished. Ginny nodded as she noticed the girls blush. Looking at each other, they smiled knowingly. Jamie found a card and opened it. They read what was in it and smiled.
Happy Birthday! Good luck at Hogwarts.
It was a bit informal but they still cherished it. Looking at their owls, they went inside to show everyone.
They can't wait for school to start.
