A/N: As a special Halloween treat and an apology for not continuously updating, I'll finish posting the in between stuff for Book 1. Which means if you do what I do for new chapters and skip right to the next page, Go back two chapters. There is also an update for the Wattpad version in which I placed two more chapters.

Happy Halloween

Photo Albums

After the end of the first book, Harry went upstairs to get his album he had promised to show Remus and Sirius. He then went back downstairs to join Remus and Sirius as the rest of the Order had decided to leave the trio alone.

However,

"Where's Sirius?" Harry asked Remus.

"He wanted to get something." Remus told him.

Sirius then entered the room with the shoebox.

"Where on Earth…" Remus gasped as he recognized the box.

"Andromeda took custody of my belongings after I was arrested and Tonks returned them after telling 'Dromeda what Dumbledore told her about my innocence." Sirius explained. "We'll go through these when we're done with yours Harry."

Harry smiled as he sat between his godfather and werewolf mentor and opened the book

"You were six months old when this was taken." Remus said smiling at the picture of Lily and James holding Harry between them and helping him wave to the camera while the baby had a 'what the hell is going on' look.

"But why?" Harry asked. "Nothing special seemed to be going on"

"Lily and James didn't need a reason." Sirius said. "They loved you so much, James was talking about strapping a muggle video camera to his head and have it run 24/7. Lily managed to talk him out of it."

Harry chuckled at the mental image before turning the page.

"Their wedding." Sirius said. "Merlin I look good."

"Shame about what Azkaban did." Remus said half-teasingly.

Sirius whacked Remus upside the head

"I'm looking better now." Sirius argued

"They look so young." Harry said. "how old were they?"

"Nineteen." Remus answered. "They were engaged straight out of school, but both sets of your grandparents died that year. Lily's parents were murdered by Death Eaters because James was from a wealthy pure-blood family with the same prestige as the Malfoys and the Blacks, but different morals. The Death Eaters didn't take kindly to the engagement even if James WAS a 'bloodtraitor' based on views. Your grandmother on your father's side died from a bad bout of Dragon Pox."

"She was old." Sirius added. "Her immune system wasn't what it had been, but Merlin, she was wonderful."

"She was to Sirius what Molly is to you." Remus explained to Harry. "Literally. Best friend's Mum, felt that he was her son even if it wasn't by blood, treated him as such…"

"Took me in when I left this dump." Sirius recalled. "Had those she knew eating out of the palms of her hands because they were too scared to cross her."

"They say you marry your mother." Remus chuckled. "And that's JUST what James did, other than heritage issues."

"She was a redhead too." Sirius told Harry before winking at the boy who blushed knowing the hint.

"Ginny's JUST a friend!" Harry declared "So what happened to my grandfather?"

"Depression did him in." Remus explained. "He loved her so much, he was dead within three months of her death. Wouldn't eat… couldn't sleep… got weaker by the day. James tried to keep him with us which was why the wedding was postponed, but…Andrew wanted to be with Elizabeth."

"In fact, little known fact, but Tonks was named after James' grandmother to an extent."

"Really?" Harry asked confused.

"Both have the nickname 'Dora'" Remus explained. "Tonks' real name is Nymphadora and your great-grandmother's name was Dorea"

"Dorea Potter was actually my mother's aunt." Sirius continued. "Bloodtraitor, but married a wealthy pureblood so it wasn't enough to get blasted off the tree."

Harry smiled at the family history lesson.

"What else?" Sirius asked turning the page. "Remember this Moony?"

Remus cuffed his friend upside the head.

"You KNOW the Order doesn't want us using our nicknames." Remus said

"Why not?" Harry asked

"Molly doesn't want the twins knowing so we won't give them any ideas…at least they'll take seriously and don't you say a word Black."

"I wasn't!" Sirius declared.

"Did I miss something?" Harry asked

"Sirius was known for his lame Sirius/serious jokes."

"They weren't lame!"

"Yes they were. Even James and Peter thought they were."

"What happened in this picture?" Harry asked pointing to the picture of his parents in front of a fountain on what seemed to be a chilly autumn day.

"Your mother charmed a camera to take a picture by itself" Remus said quietly. "They had just returned from their honeymoon about two weeks before and they had just moved to Godric's Hollow."

"This was taken the day your mother told your father she was pregnant with you." Sirius added with a fond smile.

Harry starred at the picture of his father wrapping his arms around Lily. The two looked so much in love.

Now he knew that in a way, he was in the picture too.

"I remember when James told us." Remus chuckled.

"Yeah, if I remember correctly, you said 'Merlin James, you work FAST'"

"No. That was you…after you recovered from fainting"

"You FAINTED?!" Harry laughed at his godfather.

"I did not!"

"Right, so you just fell asleep on your feet and gravity took over when James said that there was 'going to be a little Prongslet running around in nine months'." Remus teased.

Harry laughed at the look on his godfather's face as they continued with the pictures. He felt more at home now than ever before.
