It was now Milo's birthday. Natasha was getting ready for Milo's birthday party so she wasn't expecting anyone else so she was shocked when there was a knock on the door. She opened the door.

"Oliver?" she asked.

"Hey Natasha," he smiled at her.

"What are you doing here?" she asked surprised to see her ex-boyfriend.

He smirked at her. "Isn't it obvious, Natasha. I'm here for Milo's birthday."

"He never mentioned that he invited you," she said her cheeks slowly reddening as she stepped aside to invite him in.

"So, why don't you give me a tour?" he suggested still smirking at her.

She began showing him around.

"This is my room."

"I see you still have that autographed poster I gave you?" Oliver asked noticing a moving poster of him on her wall playing Quidditch.

Natasha hid a smile. "I do."

"I'm shocked no one figured out that we dated before," Oliver said.

"I just put this poster up a few days ago actually. It's a bit outdated, don't you think," she winked.

"Maybe a little but I'm still rather good-looking don't you think?" he smirked.

Before Natasha could respond Milo walked in. "Hey Oliver, you done flirting with my sister?"

"Hey Milo, Natasha was giving me a tour of your house," Oliver explained his face turning Gryffindor red.

Milo nodded.

"You didn't mention Oliver was coming," she slightly glared at her brother as they walked out of the room.

"I just wanted to see your reaction, You don't seem to mind you're clearly flirting with him too," he smirked.

"You're lucky it's your birthday."

The trio walked down the stairs.

"Mum, dad. You remember Oliver?" Milo asked.

"It's nice to see again, Oliver."

"You too, Mr. and Mrs. Butler."

They sat down and began celebrating Milo's birthday. They were opening gifts.

"I can't wait to play pranks," Milo laughed.

Natasha smirked. "It's a wonder that you haven't been fired yet, Mi."

"My boss loves me."

Oliver said. "I should get going, thanks for inviting me."

"Let me walk you out, Oliver," Natasha offered.

The brunette man nodded. Natasha walked him out.

"I was half expecting you to slam the door in my face earlier," Oliver laughed running a hand through his hair.

"Don't think I wasn't tempted, Wood," she giggled.

"I've always loved your laugh, Butler."

Her cheeks reddened.

"Do you think I could give you a hug?"

She smiled encouragingly at him as he pulled her into a hug. She tried not to melt into his strong arms but she failed. She watched him apparate away and then walked back in her house her heart fluttering.

"Is there something going on between you and Oliver?" her mum asked.

Natasha blushed. "Do you think he still fancies me?"

"What do you mean by still?"

"We dated all my seventh year we broke up in September 1996," Natasha explained to her mother.

"Why did you break up?"

"I wanted to tell everyone about our relationship but he wanted to keep it a secret since he was terrified of what Milo would do to him. He was also frustrated that he wasn't on Puddlemere United main team instead of the reserve team."

Her mum nodded. "Milo didn't know you two dated?"

"No, he didn't. Not until I told him after I came back from my interview last week."

Her mum nodded.

—

It was a few days later, Natasha was visiting her sister's grave.

Briar Harriet Butler

5/7/71 - 7/10/89

Beloved sister, daughter and friend.

"Hey Briar," she greeted.

She vividly remembers the day Briar died.

July 10th, 1989

It was a normal day on the tree farm. Milo was busy working on his summer Charms homework while Natasha was reading Hogwarts: A History.

"Why don't you two go outside? It's a very nice day," their mum enticed.

Milo looked up from his Charms homework. "Mum's right, it actually a nice day."

Natasha looked up from her book. "Okay."

The two younger Butler siblings made their way outside with their homework and book and a blanket that their mum had given them.

"Hey Mi, hey Tasha," Briar said jogging over to her younger siblings.

She had matching curly light brown hair to Natasha but instead of hazel eyes. She had deep chocolate brown eyes. Despite being the oldest, she was only five feet compared to her brother's 5'6 frame and sister's 5'2 frame. The younger two were still growing.

"Hey Briar," they greeted.

She laughed. "So, mum finally got you two out of the house."

Briar had always been the more active one of the three siblings. That's why she was going to take over the tree farm. She sat down next to her brother and rested her head on his shoulder and Natasha did the same. Milo smiled at his sisters.

"Isn't this sweet," their dad said taking a picture as the three of them groaned.

Briar hopped up with enthusiasm but then she fell down.

"You alright, Briar?"

She gave her siblings a reassuring smile. She's been passing out randomly for the past few days. She didn't want to worry them.

"You sure?" Milo asked.

Natasha looked up at her sister. "I'll go get mum."

"If you insist, but I'm fine."

Natasha put her book down and ran back to the house.

"Something wrong, dear?"

"I think Briar is sick, mum. She fainted."

MaryAnne didn't respond she just dropped what she was doing and followed her younger daughter out to the yard.

"What seems to be wrong, Briar?"

"I've been fainting and having headaches for the past few days. I didn't want to worry you."

"Let's get you to St. Mungos, dear."

"Alright."

"Can you stay here with Milo and Natasha, honey?" MaryAnne asked her husband.

"Sure, love."

MaryAnne said goodbye to her husband and younger children.

"I hope Briar will be okay," Natasha said sitting between her brother and father on the couch.

"I'm sure she will be, Ashby," Silas assured his youngest rubbing her back.

Natasha nodded. "I hope so, I need my big sister."

"You'll always have me, Ash," Milo assured his baby sister.

The next few minutes were all a blur, the floo glowed green and MaryAnne told them that Briar had been bitten by a snake and she was poisoned.

"Hey Briar, I miss you. I know I haven't visited since last year. I've only been back since around Halloween. I delivered my daughter stillborn after my fiancé confessed that he only proposed to sleep with me. I can't believe I was so stupid."

She sighed. "You remember Oliver Wood? He was a Gryffindor in Milo's year. I reconnected with him last year. You remember that we secretly dated my seventh year. Milo invited him over for his birthday a few days ago and I'm slowly falling for him again. He's so annoyingly handsome."

She continued talking to Briar and left.
