"Uncle Harry!" a girl with busy red hair called as she launched herself into his arms and a few minutes later a boy came running over following the girl, he, too, had Weasley red hair. Eventually Hermione and Ron came, obviously trying to catch up with the kids.

"Hello Rose," Harry said to the girl in his arms before putting her on the floor next to her brother. "Hello Hugo."

"Hello Uncle Harry," the boy said grinning.

"Ron, Hermione," Harry greeted. "Good holiday?"

"It was lovely, thank you, Harry," Hermione said hugging him and kissing his cheek, "but you look as though you've been busy."

"He's been working overtime," Ginny said, walking over and hugging Hermione and Ron. "Hello, you lot."

"Hello, Aunt Ginny," Rose and Hugo chorused.

"Over time, mate, really?" Ron said, clapping Harry on the back.

"I'm needed," Harry shrugged. Ron grinned. "Anyway, Ron, Hermione, you remember my aunt and cousin?"

'Yes,' said Hermione stiffening slightly. 'It's nice to see you again.'

"You too," Petunia replied smiling at the younger woman, trying to ignore the coolness she still received from Harry's closest friends.

"And Professor Snape," Harry said still not agreeing with the title.

"Yes," said Hermione trying to keep a frown of her face. "How are you, sir?"

"Just fine, thank you, Miss Granger," Snape sneered, Lily frowned again, Hermione seemed like a charming girl.

"Weasley. Mrs Hermione Weasley," Hermione corrected, Snape nodded.

"These are my parent's, guys," Harry said trying to diffuse the tension by gesturing to Lily and James who were standing awkwardly. James had come back just before Snape was greeted. "Mum, Dad, this is Ron and Hermione Weasley. They're our best friends, along with two others, Neville, who've meet and Luna. Ron's, you might have guessed from the hair is another of Ginny's brother. And these two monsters are Rose and Hugo, their kids"

"We're not monsters, Uncle Harry," Rose complained.

"Are you sure?" Harry asked tickling her and Hugo. They ran away not before Hugo called "Come and get us Uncle Harry." Harry rolled his eyes at their childishness but they were children before Hermione pushed him forward. He chased after his niece and nephew leaving everyone alone.

"Ron, stop staring, it's rude," Hermione scolded hitting her husband. "It's nice to see you again."

"Thanks," Lily said. "It's nice to see you too."

"Ron!"

"Sorry, 'Mione," Ron muttered shaking his head and blinking. "It's just they say Harry looks exactly like his dad - apart from the eyes. I just didn't realize how true it was."

"It's amazing isn't it," Petunia said and Ginny nodded. "I only meet James twice, well three times if you count the funeral. When Harry was at ours before seventh year, I noticed it most."

"We started dating in seventh year," James explained. "I met Petunia at Christmas."

"Second time was our wedding," Lily said, "but you didn't stay long at that."

Hermione, Ron, Dudley and Sophia nodded while Petunia looked sad.

"Well, I better go find where that brother-in-law of mine went with my kids," Hermione said, she frowned thinking but then smiled. "We'll be with you next week by the way as will Ron's parents."

She and Ron then left in search of their kids and Harry, leaving Ginny, Petunia, Lily, James and Dudley with Sophia standing there.

"Ginny!" a blond woman called in a dreamy voice walking over. "How are you?"

"I'm fine, thank you, Luna," Ginny smiled. "Guys, this is Luna Longbottom, Neville's wife."

"Nice to meet you, Luna," Lily said.

"This is Lily and James Potter, Luna," Ginny said gesturing to them, "And that's Harry's aunt and cousin, Petunia and Dudley Dursley."

"Evans, Ginny," Petunia said, Ginny looked at her. "Me and Vernon are divorced, I'm going back to my maiden name."

"Good," Ginny muttered darkly.

"It's nice to meet you all,' Luna said, "oh and there's Neville."

The brown haired man that had brought Sirius, Remus, Dora, Fabian and Gideon walked over and wrapped his arms around Luna's waist. "Hello everyone," he said. "You must be Harry's family. Nice to meet you, I'm Neville Longbottom."

They all shook his hand and smiled.

"Ginny, have you seen Harry?" he asked a new enthusiasm coming into his voice.

"Yes, he's with Ron and Hermione's kids," Ginny said, before spotting her husband. "There."

"Thanks," Neville said before turning.

"Neville, what is it?" Ginny and Luna asked at the same time.

"My parents have got their memories back, I'm going to bring them in," he said and he glanced at Lily and James before continuing, "but I want to tell Harry, he's the one who knows exactly what this means to me- having my parents back, I mean."

"Oh, this is brilliant," Ginny said smiling brightly a Luna. "Ignoring all our memories, it's like the worst casualty of war isn't a problem anymore."

"Alice and Frank Longbottom?" Lily asked looking worried at the same time James asked, equally worried, "What happened to them?"

"You knew them?" Luna asked in her dreamy state.

"Alice was my best friend," Lily said. "Frank was a year above but we hang out a few times, he spent time with the Marauders sometimes, quite a lot in his last year."

"Marauders?" Luna asked.

"Harry's father, Sirius, Remus and that rat, Pettigrew," Ginny said growling Pettigrew's name. James frowned in anger at Pettigrew: not because he got him killed but because Pettigrew, the man he thought was his friend, got his wife killed and made his son an orphan. It had just been a fact at Hogwarts that you could mess around with James as much as you liked but as soon as you hurt someone he loved the cards were off the table.

"Anyway, what happened to them?" Lily asked desperately.

"They were torched to insanity by Bellatrix Lestrange," Luna sighed. "Thank god your mum killed her, Ginny."

"Molly Weasley killed someone," James asked in shock – he'd forgotten that tidbit of information.

"War," Ginny and Luna stated as an explanation.

Lily and James nodded knowing what they meant: war made people do things you could never expect of them. Petunia, Dudley and Sophia, however, looked confused having never been in the middle of war and wondering how involved in the war everyone here was. People were torched? To insanity? People friends with sweet Lily Evans Potter killed people?
