"This is an amazing party" Ginny yelled to Harry over the music.
"It's great isn't it" he shouted back.
The wedding party had made their way to the Three Broomsticks in Hogsmeade to continue the celebrations. Sirius and Talitha had hired it out for the night. The place was packed. Everyone from the wedding was there as well as some members of the 'Order, some of Harry's school friends had arrived plus a lot of people Harry didn't know.
Harry laughed as he saw Talitha dancing with Moody. He was clumping about very ungracefully on his wooden leg but seemed to be enjoying himself.
"Who's that Sirius and Dung are talking to?" Ginny asked
"Dunno" Harry replied as he looked over to them. They were standing with a young woman, probably about the same age as them. She had honey blonde hair and was laughing at something Dung had just said.
Harry continued to look around the party. It was such an odd situation to see everyone in. Ron and Hermione were dancing, Ron looking very self-conscious. Draco was talking to Tonks and George. Mrs Weasley was chatting to Andromeda. Remus and Charlie were at the bar. They both kept looking round at where Sirius, Dung and the mystery woman were standing. They both had huge grins on their faces. Either one of them fancied her or they thought Dung did. Harry pointed them out to Ginny who laughed. Harry was so busy watching what everyone was doing he didn't notice a dark haired woman approach him until she spoke.
"It's Harry isn't it" she said. Harry was now used to strangers coming up and talking to him as if they knew him.
"Yeah" he smiled politely
"Hi, I'm Freya Clayton" She said as she smiled. "I was friends with your mum at school"
"Really?" Harry asked, sounding a bit surprised. The woman nodded
"Do you mind if I sit down?" she asked
"Yeah sure, Freya was it" Harry replied "This is Ginny by the way."
"Weasley" Freya smiled "I remember Bill from school. A few years younger than me of course"
Ginny grinned, people tended to know she was a Weasley just as much as they recognised Harry.
"So you knew my mum?" Harry prompted. He hadn't met any of his mum's friends before and was keen to find out more.
"We shared a dorm all through Hogwarts" Freya told him "We lost touch though before you were born, when I moved to America"
"So how come you're here?" Ginny asked
"I came over to visit my parents and yesterday I bumped into Mundungus in Diagon Alley. He told me about it. Talitha and Sirius didn't know I was coming till I got here"
"I'd love to hear all about my mum" Harry told her.
"I'll have to come round and visit you while I'm back" Freya agreed
"I don't suppose you know who that is with Sirius do you?" Ginny asked "We were just trying to work it out"
"Yeah, that's Lauren Gallagher. She was in the same year as Talitha and Dung at school" Freya told them.
"Hey, I see you two have met" Talitha said as she joined them "I was just going to come and introduce you"
"I was just telling Harry I would have to call round so we can have a chat"
"That'd be great. Make sure I give you the address sometime tonight" Talitha smiled "Ooo, Lauren's here. I'll just go and say hi"
"She's still the same as she was at school" Freya laughed "Never stays in one place for too long. Anyway, I'll leave you to it"
Freya stood up and walked over to where Remus was.
