To the north, far north of where Harry and Co. were getting the abridged version of Sirius's story the two eldest Potters were waking from their first nights rest since they were killed 16 years prior.
"Hmmm" James Potter murmured out as he stretched in bed. In the process of stretching he accidently kicked his sleeping wife.
"James, stop fidgeting." Lily said still sounding half asleep.
Carefully as not to wake his still worn out wife up, James shrugged off the heavy covers. Hissing as his feet touched the cold stone flooring, James quickly put on some more clothes as the cold air had started to bite at his bare skin.
He walked out if the bedroom and downstairs where he was met by Phillip, who told him that breakfast was ready and waiting on the dining room table, with the latest copy of the Daily Prophet, so he could catch up. After, being dead for 16 years, the gossip tends to back up a little bit, so in order to catch up as it were, he settled down with the Prophet and a cup of coffee.
20 minutes after James made his appearance at the dining table, Lily trudged in still half asleep and in a warm dressing gown. Taking a seat next to her husband, she went straight for the coffee pot, pouring herself a cup and sighing as she felt the warm liquid slowly begin to wake her up.
"Morning love, sleep well." James asked as he looked up from the paper to his wife who looked like she had been dragged through a wrestling arena, with her hair all stuck up in every way imaginable.
"Hmmm." She replied, not looking up from her cup of coffee.
"We should probably try to find where Harry and Sirius are living; it says here that Harry has finally got rid of our dear old friend Tom."
"Okay, just give me a chance to wake up and get dressed, then we'll find them and get all the answers we need for the thousands of questions I have running rampant in my mind." Lily compromised, knowing that the day ahead of them would be physically and emotionally draining.
Back up North Sirius had finished retelling his tale, and the room was surrounded in silence, even the twins had remained quiet throughout the story.
"Wow" Was all that anyone could say as they were told the tale.
"So any questions." Sirius asked as he finally finished his epic story of life behind the veil and how he came back to be alive and sitting in front of them all as if, the Ministry battle never happened.
"Yeah, Sirius you said there was a blinding golden light then, the next thing you know you're in a field in the middle of nowhere, what do you think that light was?" Hermione asked as her know-it-all nature came into play, making her even more analytical than normal, at the puzzle presented to her.
"I have no idea just that the golden light was there and then I was stuck in some sodding field in the middle of nowhere."
"Wait, you said golden light." Remus pondered, as he looked from Sirius to Harry and Hermione who sat opposite him. "Last night there was a golden light coming from the living room. We didn't think much of it just that someone had put too much magic into a lumos, so we just left it and went to bed, but the light it lit up the whole house and then spread outwards away from the house, but then it sort of reversed and poured back into the living room and it looked as if nothing had happened."
By now everyone was thinking the same thing, what happened in that room, that caused such a magnificent display of magic. Sitting there with dumb look on their face, were Harry and Hermione as they were the last ones to enter the living room last night and the only ones to leave it.
"You don't think."
"Maybe."
"But we didn't do anything, we just talked."
"What are you two on about?" George asked as he observed the 'lovers' have a little bickering session.
Not looking up from their argument Harry and Hermione continued to stare at each other as if they had just done the unthinkable and raised the Titanic.
"We can't have, it's not possible. Even if it did happen it shouldn't have worked, we were just talking." Hermione muttered to herself causing everyone to turn and look at her expecting an explanation.
"Hermione what is it? What have you done? Cause right now, the shock of finding out that you're pregnant won't do any good to my nerves." Molly asked worriedly as she watched the play of emotions run across the young girls face.
"Mia, come on what is it?" Harry said as he shook her shoulder gently as not to scare her.
Hermione sat rigidly in her chair, not taking her eyes off of a spot on the wall in front of her. "Harry last night, do you remember what we talked about?" She said not turning her attention away from the spot of dirt on the wall.
"Yeah, we talked about the future and the final battle. Nothing of consequence." He replied, slightly worried at the way she was acting and not knowing how any of the stuff to do with the golden light had anything to do them talking the night before, then again in his state now he forgot one of the vital things they read in a book back in his 4th when they were trying to find a way for him to fight a dragon and live to tell the tale.
Realization came over Remus as he stood up so suddenly, that he knocked over his chair. Walking around the table until he stood behind the pair.
"What exactly did you say?" He asked as his voice dropped lower than normal, not liking where this conversation was leading in the slightest.
"We said, something along the lines of, that loving each other till the end of time, wouldn't ever be long enough for us. Something like that, we kissed end of conversation." Harry replied not liking the look that had taken residence on Remus's face.
With his suspicions confirmed, he quickly drew out his wand and cast a rare spell, which allowed a wizard to see another wizard's aura.
"Revelar a força da vida" He said as he moved his wand in an intricate pattern to match the mouthful of an incantation. All the occupants of the kitchen waited with abated breathe as to what the spell would reveal. At last the spell slowly worked its way through their system into their magical core and revealed that they had in fact instead of two separate cores, just one that was three times the size of a normal magical core.
"No, you didn't. You got…"
