AN: I own nothing. That being said, If you would like me to start a 'story' With one shots and what not from this series let me know. They would contain Sirius Apologizing to Amelia and other things like that. That being said; The letters to Fleur will be mentioned but not written in this story. They Will be in another 'Story' Called Letters to Fleur. Thank you to everyone Who reviewed. And to anyone who gets this far and Questions why Harry's full name is Hadrian: Because I like it and this is Fanfiction. Deal with it. Let begin. And if someone could tell me how to spell football the non American way, that would be great and until then it is going to be spelled American way. Also don't expect to see a written Soccer game because I love the sport but I Can't write it. Don't forget to check out the Polls on my profile, its currently Which House Should Harry be in. Ill change it to the Should Julius, Octavius, and Charles be in the same house. In a day or so.

XOXO

Chapter 13

A Birthday and a Time Skip

August 11, 1987

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY SUSAN!" Seven year olds, Harry, Charles, and Neville shouted together as they jumped onto their Cousin's bed.

"Thanks Guys." Susan said laughing as she threw a pillow at her cousins. Harry grinned brightly, catching the pillow and tossing it back to her.

"Ice said for us to wake you so you can come down and have your birthday breakfast." Harry said grinning as he made his way to the door with Neville.

"Ok." Susan said as the boys stepped outside so she could get dressed. A few minutes later, Susan joined them in the hall and the quartet of cousins made their way to the kitchen.

"Good Morning Susan and Happy Birthday." Sirius said hugging her.

"Thanks Uncle Sirius." Susan said grinning brightly.

"Is mom going to be here?" Octavius asked hopefully. Sirius sighed knew the boys missed their mother and he missed Alyssa as well. But she was still too week to go outside of the hospital.

"Not yet Octavius. She still gets sick easy and too much excitement makes her tired pretty fast. Soon though." Sirius said giving all three of the boys a tight hug.

"Ok." The boy chorused.

3 PM

/Happy Birthday Susan!/ Fleur said happily after her mother removed the soot from her clothes.

/Thank you Fleur. Did you bring the futbol?/ Susan asked hugging her friend tightly.

/Yes, I did. Shall we find the boys and play futbol or would you rather do something else?/ Fleur asked as she followed Susan outside.

/The boys wanted to play Quidditch. So once we get them,we are going to eat and then play football./ Susan said, pulling Fleur towards where the boys were playing.

/FLEUR!/ Harry shouted happily as he and the other boys landed.

/It is very good to see you Harry. I have missed you./ Fleur said with a bright smile as she hugged him. Remus and Sirius shared a soft smile as the kids walked up.

/What are we? Chopped liver?/ Octavius asked grinning as Fleur pulled away and began to hug everyone else.

/No, you are diced tomatoes. Julius is chocolate milk, Charles is hot sauce and Neville is Honey./ Fleur said laughing.

/Well what does that make Susan?/ Julius asked grinning.

/The birthday girl of course./ Fleur said grinning.

/Hello Fleur. How are your parents doing?/ Sirius asked smiling at the laughing children.

/They are well. Thank you for asking./ Fleur said with a smile.

/Wonderful. Harry why don't you let Fleur borrow your broom and you can use mine./ Sirius said with a smile. Part of Sirius was expecting Harry to say no in disgust because girls have cooties. To his surprise Harry did the opposite.

/Ok./ Harry said with a smile. Remus grinned at Sirius' surprised expression.

"Are you really that Surprised?" Remus asked grinning.

"I really shouldn't be, but I am." Sirius said, shaking his head with a smile.

5 PM

Susan grinned as everyone was ushered in to seat. With a soft smile, Remus passed her a box wrapped in Purple paper. Susan smiled brightly as she tore the paper off to reveal a calligraphy set.

/Thank you Uncle Remus!/ Susan said smiling brightly.

/You are very welcome Susan./ Remus said with a grin as Sirius passed her a box wrapped in gold paper. Susan's eyes lit up as she opened the box to reveal four new journals.

/I noticed that you were running out of room./ Sirius said with a shrug. He grinned in delight when Susan hugged him happily. Amelia smiled and handed Susan an envelope. Susan looked surprised until she opened the envelope. Inside were several different photos. The first two photos were of two Hogwarts student. One was a small redhead girl standing in Hufflepuff Robes and the other was a brown haired boy standing in Slytherin robes. The next photo was of the same two students at graduation. The fourth photo was was of the two students getting married. The final photo was of the two students holding a small red haired baby, in a room at Saint Mungo's. Susan sat still for a moment before her eye filled with tears and she hugged her aunt tightly.

/Thank you Auntie./ Susan mumbled into Amelia's shoulder.

/Who were the people in the photos?/ Fleur whispered to Harry.

/Susan's mom and dad. They were killed by death eaters just before my parents took down Voldemort./ Harry said watching Susan wipe her eyes. Suddenly Susan laughed as she was handed a flower by Neville.

/Thank you Neville. Will you tell me about it?/ Susan asked grinning.

/It's a white Amazon Lily and it means pure heart./ Neville said smiling as Harry, grinning, passed her a gift wrapped in purple and gold. Susan grinned as she tore the paper off to reveal a painting of her and Amelia sanding in front of the Eiffel Tower.

/Harry, that is amazing!/ Fleur said in surprise.

/I agree with Fleur. This is amazing./ Susan said with a grin.

/Thank you./ Harry said blushing. Octavius smiled and passed Susan a gift wrapped in green paper. Susan's eye lit up upon seeing The Hobbit by J.R.R Tolkien.

/Thank you Octavius./ Susan said grinning.

/you're welcome./ Octavius said with a grin.

/Careful. Mine is fragile./ Julius said smiling as he hand Susan a gift wrapped in blue. Susan raised an eyebrow as she started to unwrap the small box. Susan gasped in delight as she lifted up a small glass horse figurine.

/Thank you, Julius./ Susan said with a bright grin.

/Mine isn't much compared to the others, but I know how much you like them./ Charles said grinning as he handed her a box. Susan raised an eyebrow and the laughed in delight when he opened the box to reveal brownies.

/Yes!/ Susan shouted hugging Charles.

/Its the simple things in life./ Amelia said laughing softly.

/Of course. Here, now you have a place to put all those photos you and Charles take./ Frank said grinning as he handed Susan a leather bound photo album.

/Thank you, Uncle Frank./ Susan said grinning.

/Since its summer, you cant really wear mine yet; but I know how much you wanted this./ Alice said with a smile, passing Susan another colorful bag. Susan let out a gasp of delight when she pulled out a soft lilac sweater.

/Thank you, Aunt Alice./ Susan said grinning. Smiling Cornelius handed Susan a thin box. Susan smiled happily seeing the Charm Bracelet she had mentioned several months ago laying inside the box. Currently the charm bracelet only held a book and a horse.

/Thank you uncle 'Lius./ Susan said with a smile as she hugged Cornelius.

/You're welcome, My dear Susan./ Cornelius said hugging Susan tightly. Fleur grinned and tossed a football to Susan.

/Fleur?/ Susan asked looking at Fleurin confusion.

/Now you do not have to wait for me to come over to play football./ Fleur said grinning.

/Thank you Fleur./ Susan said grinning. Smiling Augusta handed Susan a large box.

/Gran?/ Susan asked looking confused as she peered into the box.

/Ah, perhaps I've forgotten something…/ Augusta said pretending to think.

/Maybe this?/ Minerva said holding out a small black kitten.

/Really?!/ Susan asked looking atAmelia excitedly.

/Really./ Amelia said with agrin.

/Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!/ Susan said as shehugged the three women. Smiling Minerva handed the kitten to Susan.

/What are you going to name him?/ Fleur asked, scratching the kitten's ears.

/Max./ Susan said with a grin.

August 29th, 1988

/I wish you didn't have to go./ Harry said sadly.

/I feel the same way. You will write me as much as you can, right?/ Fleur asked as her and Harry walked through town,Remus trailing behind them.

/Of course, and maybe I will join you a Beaubaxtons./ Harry said with a smile.

/As much as I wish that were true, I doubt it. Susan and Neville seem intent on going to Hogwarts. Charles will go where ever Susan goes./ Fleur said with a sad smile.

/Julius and Octavius will follow me./ Harry said with a grimace as he realized what that meant.

/An even split. And Sirius is moving everyone back to England./ Fleur said with a sigh as they began to walk up the driveway.

/Yes. We leave on the 2nd on September./ Harry said holding the door open for Fleur and Remus.

/Thank you, Harry. Promise me you'll write?/ Fleur asked again.

/Promise./ Harry said hugging her tightly. Smiling Jean picked up their bags and moved towards the Floo.

/Come Fleur. We must make sure you have everything for school./ Jean said his smile turning sad as he watched his daughter hug her friends goodbye.
