I don't own anything.

Three days since the start of the summer holidays and Lena had almost finished her homework, when she woke on the fourth day she couldn't keep the smile off her face. Today was her coming of age day, it was her 17th birthday. Lena sprung out of bed and dressed in a pair of skinny leg jeans and her favourite Weird Sister shirt. She checked herself in the mirror before leaving her room; despite being a year older she didn't look any different. Practically prancing down the flight of stair to the kitchen she still hadn't been able to wipe the smile from her face and why would she want to.

As she entered the kitchen she noticed Remus standing by the stove with his back to her, Lena smile grew as she started to creep towards Remus. As a child she would try to sneak up on him, she had never succeeded though because of his heightened sense of smell and hearing.

Just as she was going to tap him on the shoulder Remus swivelled around grabbing her wrist like he used to do as a child.

"Nice try, little one" Remus said with a small smile, as he let go of her wrist he pulled her into a hug, "Happy Birthday Lena".

"Thanks Rem" Lena smiled hugging him back and trying to peak over his shoulder to see what he had made for breakfast. Pancakes, bacon, eggs and sausages there was a loads of it. "Rem it's that a little much for just us?"

As soon as the question was asked there floo system lit up and out of it come George, then Nymphadora, Andromeda and finally Ted. Lena jumped into George's arms as soon as he was through the floo and then to hug Nymph, Andy and Ted. With each wishing her a happy birthday, when they had all done Andy went to help Remus get breakfast ready while Nymph, Ted, Lena and George took a seat at the kitchen table.

"How has Aurora work been Nymph?" Lena asked once they were settled.

"It's been interesting really you see some strange things" Nymph replied ignoring her cousin calling her by her childish nickname. "What about your healer training, you're into your last year aren't you?"

"It's great, I love it. I can't wait to actually get into St Mungo's" Lena replied happily as the food was put down on the table allowing everyone to dig in, as they ate separate conversations started to happen. Remus, Andy and Ted were discussing some new laws and Nymph and George were talking the latest round of Quidditch. Lena watched them but her smile slowly started to slip, there were two people she thought might actually be there for her birthday but weren't. She didn't need to question George about where Fred was, it wasn't hard to guess that he was with Angelina and she knew why Sirius wasn't with her, he was look after Harry like he always was.

She could feel someone's eyes upon her turning her head slightly she noticed it was George staring she gave him a fake smile that she knew he would be able to see straight through it though. Breakfast went by without a problem after it Andy and Ted went home, Nymph had to go off to work and Remus ran off to the Village just down the road to do some shopping.

"What's wrong Lena?" George asked, they were now sitting on Lena's bed. George sat as the base of the bed, Lena at the head of the bed with her pillow on her lap.

"I'm glad you, Nymph, Andy, Ted and Remus were here for my birthday and I love my present by the way" Lena said smiling at the stack of healer journals from the 14th century.

"But" George pressed.

"He doesn't care" Lena spoke so softly that George thought he hadn't heard her.

"Hey Fred's a twit, he doesn't know what he's missing" George said moving from the end of the bed to sit next to Lena wrapping his arms around her as she started to cry.

"It's not Fred, my own father can't even remember my birthday and he doesn't even care that his only daughter is now older enough to use magic without getting shit from the Ministry" Lena said into George's chest.

"I'm sure he cares Lena" George whispered as he hugged her tighter.

Lena snorted "He was here the other day; I could hear Remus and him talking from the stairs. Remus said something about me still being underage and wanting my father too look after me like any girl would, he turned around and said that that's why Remus was there"

George was shocked, he had heard from Lena last year how she hadn't heard a word from her father and then when she found out that he had been writing letters to Harry all summer and then when he turned up at the end of the Tri-Wizard tournament to see Harry. George still thought that Sirius did care about his daughter.

He looked down at the girl in his arms, this was his best friend. One of the people besides his twin who knew him the most, in all his years he had only seen Lena cry a few times and most of those few were because of her father. But today on her birthday he didn't want his best friend to be upset on her birthday.

"Come on get up" George said as he got to his feet standing in front of her. "We're going to do something I know that you always love"

Lena looked up at George and couldn't help but smile; George's smiles are contagious Lena thought as she got to her feet. George grabbed her hand and dragged her towards the cottages backyard he grabbed her broom from the coat cupboard.

As soon as they were outside George jumped onto the front of the broom ad Lena jumped onto the back with a giggle. She always loved flying with George even though she didn't like heights very much. At the thought of her broom, she couldn't help but think of when she got it. It was a gift from her father, though he never came to actually visit for her birthday. She only ever touched it when the twins where over and even then she never flew on it alone.

George kicked off the ground and gave a small smile when Lena's arms gave a small squeeze around his torso; she was like another little sister to him. Even though she was only a few weeks younger than she like a little sister to him, as well as his best friend. George did some quick turns which caused her to giggle loudly.

After they had finished flying around George was called home by Molly for dinner. Lena sat down at the kitchen table as Remus cooked dinner, she knew he loved to cook for her and loved it more when she would help him but because it was her birthday she wasn't a loud to help.

Remus hummed softly as he cooked making Lena's favourite Chicken Pesto Pasta, a dish that had been her favourite since she was little. Lena listened to Remus humming and noticed the song he was humming.

"That's the lullaby you used to play for me when I had those nightmares" Lena stated as she leaned back in the chair letting her head fall back to look at the ceiling.

"I'm surprised you remember it, you were very young when I used to play it" Remus laughed as he went to the sink to drain the pasta.

"Geez way to make me feel old" Lena muttered under her breath knowing full well that Remus would hear her.

Remus snorted, "Every birthday you have, Little One, makes me feel old" he said as she put their food into bowls and heads for the table. Lena leaned forward as he placed the bowl in front of her smile grew. "Happy Birthday Little One" Remus said as Lena puts a mouth full of pasta in her mouth.

"Thanks Rem" Lena's says as she finishes the mouth fool and prepares to another mouth full by twirling her fork in the pasta.

Remus watches her for a few minute before talking again, "I couldn't help but notice that you and George are really close Lena is there anything I should know about?"

Lena chocked on her food, she swore sometimes Remus waited till she had a mouth full of food before asking questions like that. She knew what he was insinuating by his question. After coughing and spluttering for few moments she took a long drink before replying.

"George and I are just good friends Rem, we don't see each other like that" Lena said once she was able to talk without coughing.

Remus looked thoughtful for a few minutes and Lena couldn't help but wonder if this was one of his rare moments where he acted like her father and worried over her. Even though she knew he always worried about her there have only been a few times when he had acted like an overprotective father to her. One of them having been when she started going out with Cedric, where he seemed to think he needed to explain to her about the birds and the bees even though she didn't need it, her two best friends where male she'd heard more than enough from them.

"He understands that too then?" Remus asked as he watched her contently.

"Of course, but Remus what's this really about?" Lena asked watching him more closely.

He moves his arm across the table and strokes his hand down her face. "I sometimes forget just how much you've grown, Lena, you haven't had it the easiest but you've become such a beautiful women" Remus said as he looked at her with a proud smile on his face.

Lena smiled at Remus, "Well it's good that I've had someone like you teaching me everything I need to know" Remus returned her smile and soon they were both back into eating their food.

George stepped into the Burrow after having appariting home, the sky had just turned dark as he saw the house, he always liked to apparite a bit away from his home so that he could have some peace and quiet before walking into the noise of his family. Though don't get it wrong he loved his family so much but he knew that there was very few moments within the house which he got peace and quiet.

He could see the kitchen lights on as he got ever closer he half wondered if his older brother Charlie who worked in Romania with dragons had come home yet. He was due within the next couple of day like he normal did at the end of the school year.

As he got closer he noticed his twin sitting outside the house on the grass looking towards the sky. As George approached Fred turned his head towards to his twin, he give a slight smile before turning to look at the sky, he had is arms stretched out behind him supporting his upper half.

"Dinner not ready yet?" George asked as he sat down beside Fred.

"Nah Mum is still cooking. Where have you been all day?" Fred asked his eyes still looking towards the sky.

George looked at his brother in shock, "Do you really not know what day it is?"

"No should I" Fred said with a sigh.

Georges jaw dropped he couldn't believe him, "You can't be serious, it's Lena's birthday you idiot you call yourself her friend but you can't even remember her birthday. Honestly it's bad enough that her father acts as though she doesn't exist but she doesn't need you one of her best friends forgetting about her" George growled in anger, before Fred even had a chance to reply George stormed towards the house were Molly had popped her head out the door for dinner.
