After we all tumbled out of the fireplace Sirius ran over to the empty wall in the living room. He pulled out his wand and tapped that wall just above a crack. The crack started to expand and then we could see the Dursley's house. We all sat down on the couch and waited. Finally about an hour later Remus called Sirius and I and told us that they had arrived. Sirius and I were in the kitchen getting some snacks, or provisions as he called them. We walked back into the living room and sat down again. We watched as the Dursley's walked into the house.
"Can you turn the volume up please?" I asked
"Sure."
"Who was that police officer, and what did he think he was doing?" cried Vernon
"I don't know, but I think I know him from somewhere," said Petunia
"So Aunt Marge isn't hurt then?" asked Dudley
"No baby, she is all fine and well," said Petunia
"Do you hear water running?" asked Vernon
"I do," replied Petunia
Vernon ran up the stairs and you could hear a scream, "Petunia."
"What Vernon, what's wrong?" she cried
"Well for one think there is 2 feet of water in our bedroom," cried Vernon
Petunia screamed and tried to run up the stairs, but since Vernon had opened the door to their bedroom and the door was just above the stairs the water came streaming out and down the stairs, knocking Petunia back down.
"Ahhh," she screamed
"Mom, Mom are you okay?" screamed Dudley. He ran over to her and knelt down beside her soaking wet form
"I'm fine sweet pea," she said
Vernon ran down the stairs and into the kitchen which was right under their bedroom, "Petunia," he said quietly, "You better come hear."
Petunia walked into the kitchen. Vernon pointed at the ceiling and she looked up. The whole ceiling was brown and sagging. Dudley walked in and looked up at the ceiling. Just as he looked up the ceiling gave way and collapsed with the water that had accumulated in the room after Vernon closed the door came gushing down on them. After the dust cleared Vernon was laying on the floor with Petunia on top of him and Dudley sitting beside them. All soaking wet.
"I told the plumber those pipes were faulty," cried Vernon
"I'll go and call him," Petunia said
Dudley stood up and walked slowly out of the room and up the stairs.
"That was good," I said
"Sure was," said Harry
"Hey Sirius,"
"Yeah Gina,"
"Was the water really from the pipes or did you just magically put it there?" I asked
"No, I burst the pipes. At Hogwarts I would have magically put it there, but Petunia knows there is such thing as magic, and she might take it out on Harry, so this looks like an honest accident. Wouldn't you agree?"
We all nodded
"Sirius, what is that screen really for?" asked Harry
"This Harry," said Sirius standing up and patting the screen, "Is something I got back in 3rd year. Well your dad and I both bought it. We set it up in our dorm so we could see what happens with the prank without actually being at the seen of the crime if you get what I mean."
Harry nodded
"Well I'm going to bed," I said
"I better be getting home," said Remus
"Night Moony," I said
"Night Gina," Remus replied
Everyone said goodnight to everyone and then Remus disapparated and Harry, Sirius and I walked upstairs and into our bedrooms. I changed out of my clothes and into my PJ's and then I climbed into bed. I grabbed my Potions book and started on a 12 inch essay that was due the day that we got back. It took me just under an hour to finish and then I got up and put it in my book bag. Then quietly I walked to the bathroom. Coming back from the bathroom I saw Harry's light on. I opened his door a crack and saw him looking at a book.
"Whatcha doing?" I asked
"Oh, nothing," he answered. He closed the book and put it on his nightstand
"It's not nothing, what is that book?" I tried again
"Nothing Gina, come on," he said
I walked over and picked up the book. He tried to get it back from me but I had the upper advantage because I was standing and he was laying in bed. I opened the book and realized it was a photo album.
"Where'd you get this?" I asked
"Hagrid made it up for me," he replied
I sat down on the side of his bed a started to flip through the pages. I saw all different pictures of my parents that I had never seen. From them going to Hogwarts to them graduating, to their wedding, and then my mom standing with my dad standing behind her with his arms around her. My mom was very pregnant in that picture. Sure I had seen pictures taken around the time that these were taken, but not these exact ones.
"How did he get these?" I asked
"Said he owled some of their old school friends."
"Well there not the pictures Sirius has," I said
"I guess they were taken at the same time because I was looking through Sirius' album and everyone is wearing the same clothes as in these pictures, so I guess somebody else just took them from a different angle, or during the same day but at a different time," he said
"I guess so," I said crying
Harry put his arms around me and I started to bawl. He also, even though he won't admit it started to cry.
Sirius walked in and saw the picture album on my lap and us both bawling. He walked over and gave us both a giant hug.
"It's okay," he soothed
"No it's not Sirius and you know it," I cried, "I miss them so much."
"I know, so do I," said Sirius quietly
Finally I recovered and I looked over at Harry, "At least," I said, "You had over a year with them, I had absolutely no time with them," that brought a fresh wave of tears. I was in hysterics and all I can remember is sliding to the floor and then waking up the next morning in my own bed. Harry told by that I basically collapsed and Sirius picked me up and carried to my bed.
