The next morning largely involved rearranging the furniture and unpacking boxes. Harry and Draco were both glad to have their own rooms as, although they were making an effort to get on, there was still a bit of friction between them. Harry was in the kitchen helping Talitha make some lunch while Draco and Sirius were trying to do something with the overgrown garden.
"I've got to go to Godric's Hollow this afternoon to collect some of my old stuff" Talitha told him "did you want to come with me"
"Yeah ok. I'd like to see the house properly" He replied.
After they had all eaten lunch, Draco and Sirius headed back outside to finish the garden. Talitha handed Harry the Floo powder. Seconds later he was in the living room at the Potter's house in Godric's Hollow. Talitha appeared in the fireplace seconds later.
"OK, you have a look round while I find everything we've come for" she said. Harry glanced round the living room, he could remember it fairly well from last time. He didn't bother going in the kitchen as he remembered that aswell. He knew exactly where he wanted to see. He ran up the stairs and let himself into his dad's bedroom. He sat down on the bed and gazed around the room. For a few minute he watched the 1978 England Quidditch team fly about their poster. Lying back on the bed he absent-mindedly flicked through a Quidditch book that was on the bedside table. He smiled at the hairstyles of the time. He sat up quickly an old photograph of his mum fell out of the book onto his chest. He picked it up, smiling as he looked at it. His mum looked about his age and the photograph was all tatty. He looked up to see Talitha smiling at him from the door way.
"What have you got there?" she asked. Harry showed her the photo and she smiled.
"That was taken the second time your mum and dad went out" She told Harry as she sat down on the bed beside him "And he carried it with him everywhere he went since then up until the day they got married. That's why its all crumpled"
"Really?" Harry grinned, there was still so much he didn't know about his parents
"Yeah, soppy git he was" Talitha laughed. Harry laughed
"Are you ready, I've got everything I wanted" Talitha continued "Is there anything you wanted to bring back with you?"
Harry glanced around the room and shook his head
"It's all here if I want it" he said "I'll just keep hold of this picture"
Harry followed Talitha down the stairs, back to the fire place and they returned home by floo.
~~~~~~
The summer holidays continued to fly past. Harry couldn't believe how fast the weeks went past now he actually enjoyed the summer. Harry and Draco continued arguing, although things were much improved due to the fact they were no longer in each others faces 24 hours a day.
Before they knew it the day of Sirius's and Talitha's wedding had arrived.
Harry, Sirius and Draco had been banished to Remus's house the night before, something about bad luck. Harry was relieved at this when he found out that Tonks, Ginny and Hermione would be there getting ready for the wedding.
Harry woke up to the sound of Remus shouting up the stairs.
"Sirius! You better be up! It'll be me that gets yelled at if you're late"
"Shut up Moony! You sound like an old woman" Sirius laughed.
"I don't care, as long as you're there on time" Remus laughed back "I don't want Tlai hexing me"
Harry was down in the kitchen, eating some breakfast when Sirius eventually got up. He was grinning madly when he walked into the kitchen.
"Alright Harry, mate" Sirius said as he grabbed a slice of toast. Harry laughed, he'd not seen Sirius excited like this before.
