Explanations

Jessica turned around to find her parents standing side by side. They looked as if they just got home from work, because they wore their work robes. Her mother was holding her magical kit in her arms that she needed for work, and her father, a bunch of paperwork, which aurors had to fill out all of the time.

She found it funny that her parents both decided to apparate at the exact same time to the exact same spot. 'They really were meant for each other…' she silently thought. She found herself beaming at them. She was so happy to have such wonderful parents who were always in love and will always be in love. She hoped to experience that for herself one day.

When she came back down to earth, she found that they were looking at her strangely. They had kissed hello and then saw their daughter staring at them, wearing a huge grin, and sitting very close to a familiar box…

Harry spoke first. "Hello love. What do you have there?"

"Hi dad. Um… It's nothing really. Just something I found this morning. Don't know where it came from…" Jessica explained.

"Dear, isn't that one of the boxes from the attic?" Ginny asked Harry.

"Yeah. I started to clean out some things yesterday, but I guess I forgot it down here." He started to walk towards it and knelt beside Jessica. He took the album from her hands and looked at the picture of her 2nd birthday. He smiled.

"Hey hun," he called to Ginny, "come and look at this."

Ginny put her kit down on the couch and joined the other two on the floor.

"Oh yes, I remember that," Ginny laughed. "I took it when she had your wand."

"Yes, you always loved my wand Jess," Harry told Jessica.

"I know."

Harry paused and looked at Jessica. "You know?" he asked.

"Well yeah. Everything I looked at, I saw first hand. Is this box enchanted or something?" she inquired.

Harry and Ginny were both silent for a moment, lost in thought. Then Ginny spoke.

"Yes, yes it is. When you were about five years old, your father and I packed up this stuff. Since this was the things we owned that we treasured most, we both charmed it, so that when we looked at the stuff again, we'd view a whole scenario in our minds of the memories placed onto that object. Don't you remember Harry?"

"Now I do. I must have forgotten it was this one. They are so many others just like it."

Harry then looked at his daughter. "So honey, what exactly did you see?"

Jessica told them everything she had experienced that day. From the moment she touched her mother's journal, to the moment her parents apparated into the living room. They all ended up talking for a good hour, in their little circle on the carpet. Harry and Ginny reminisced as Jessica intently listened. At some parts she nodded with understanding, because she had seen them just earlier that day.

"I do have one question though," Jessica concluded.

"Shoot," ordered Harry.

"What is this charm, and how come I never heard of it?"

"It's the 'Reminiscent Charm' and you've never heard of it because you won't learn it until 7th year Charms, and it's extremely difficult to perform," he answered.

"Well hopefully I'll get to 7th year Charms. I'm pretty sure I rocked the O.W.L's…"

"Oh honey, of course you did! You're just like your aunt Hermione," said her mother.

"I hope so mum."

"Oh hey, I almost forgot. I got you something." Harry said to Jessica.

"Really, what? And why?" she thought aloud.

"A necklace, and because I love you," Harry explained. "I found it in a different box yesterday, it was your grandmother, Lily's. It was an empty locket, but I tweaked it so it's not so empty. I was just going to wait until Christmas but I figured now was a good time."

He reached into his pocket and pulled out a gold heart shaped locket on a gold chain. He handed it to her and kissed her forehead. "Thanks dad," she said softly.

"Oh, how beautiful," Ginny said. "Wow it's almost six," she said, noticing the time. I'll go start dinner," Ginny announced, as she got up and headed towards the kitchen.

"I'll help," Harry called after her, and followed her into the kitchen, leaving Jessica alone.

Still sitting on the floor, she opened the locket. On the right hand side, was a recent photo of herself, laughing and smiling. On the left hand side was writing carved in beautiful script. It said: Jessica Lily Potter.
