Age 2
Sirius and Remus were huddled around James and his wand. It was 8.30. Lily set a rule for Harry ( and for the Marauders) that he was not allowed to be awake before 8.35. The clock clicked slowly 5 minutes. James, Sirius and Remus jumped in Harry's room. They launched into Happy birthday. But Harry wasn't in there. James mid raced to one thing: Death Eaters. Sirius and Remus' minds raced to another: The Burrow.
Harry had his own fireplace, so he could easily jump in and say The Burrow. James made a deal with Sirius and emus. If he was at The Burrow, that James would have to tell Lily. I f he wasn't, all of them would have to tell Lily.
Luckily Harry was. Turns out Harry at started crying in the night. James was on Aurour duty, Lily was at Petunia's and Sirius and Remus were down at Hogwarts, seeing McGonagall. Molly was babysitting Harry so Molly and him went over to the Burrow so he could see Ginny and Ron. They had become the best of friends.
After a little party, Narcissa's owl came through the window. Narcissa Malfoy was Sirius' sister. It said:
Dearest Sirius,
Your mother died at Saint Mungo's 2 hours ago. She had a very rare curse put on her and she died instantly. They thought that they could bring her back to life, but they couldn't.
Sorry about the news on Harry's birthday. Tell Lily and James I say hi and Remus that he should be drinking his tonic.
Sincerely,
Narcissa Malfoy
