Harry stopped admiring his new microphone while mumbling its specs, it was honestly exactly what he needed to finish off his album. He had been using a pretty outdated model and it was starting to get annoying, having to compete against the static and general low quality of the equipment. He stopped for long enough to see his parents staring at him from across the table.

"Well this is slightly awkward." He said with a slight smile.

Seeing the opportunity James took up the plate."No kidding, well then Harry I'm going to be as blunt as possible. We are sorry for our neglect, we do not deserve your forgiveness but we hope you will allow us into your life in any capacity. We will not invade your personal space but are open to being invited into it." He said taking the situation like ripping a plaster off, get it done quick.

Sighing Harry decided to be lenient, he knew that his Grandpa always taught him to forgive but it was pretty hard when your parents forgot him for 9 of the most important years of his life."Cutting to the chase are we? Well I can't say it has been easy but I'm willing to extend an olive branch. I have some conditions though, number one is that through 6pm-9pm I'm not to be disturbed at all. Number two is that I will be able to leave the house for business, and yes I do have lots of that to do. And finally number 3 is that you will never push for an answer to a personal question, and do not worry Grandpa made sure I'm responsible enough not to get in danger." He said in a completely business-like tone.

Looking at each other James and Lily realised that they were getting off without nearly enough punishment so Lily spoke up."Of course son, we know you are being way too lenient with us but we won't look a gift horse in the mouth." She said with a smile.

Finally losing their emotions the two rushed over to Harry and gave him their first hug since he was two. They tried to express how sorry they were and boy did they do it. Harry decided to give them a little shock and prank him to open an alley of conversation. So doing a little internal magic that Dumbledore had him learning in his intensive schedule he gave them a shock.

The two jumped back and when they saw Harry laughing they realised they had just been thoroughly pranked and laughed along. Seeing this as a way to connect to his son James spoke up with pride in his voice."Another generation of Marauders, you will wreak terror through the hearts of teachers my son!"

Not seeing the point in scolding James for his childish pranks Lily decided to tell Harry the plans for his birthday."Harry, I know we have a long way to go but I hope that this will kick things off the right way. For your birthday we decided to send you along with Rose for a summer camp in Japan. It is being hosted by a company called AMAKEN, the CEO is Aaron Boreal, he is a friend of your fathers."

Harry was astounded, so this is what Grandpa had in store for him! He was going to give the old goat a good pranking for this. As his annoyance cooled his excitement started to grow. Japan was home to Misora Strumm! He had always loved her work and was hoping to go to Japan in the coming years to go to a concert of hers. He always admired that she was able to go on stage solo and sing without any mistakes.

"Yes! But could I ask something? There is a concert in Japan that I really want to go to, I can pay for it with money I have saved but I just need to stay for a bit longer." Harry asked in an uncertain voice.

James was curious about what concert it was but decided to grant permission and pay."Of course Harry, don't worry we will pay but could we ask who will be performing and if we may come?"

"Thanks! And of course you can come. It is a Misora Strumm concert and I have been saving for lots of time to go to one but this is just the best." Harry said with excitement in his voice, his parents not only were paying but also wanted to join him.

"Oh? It appears as if you have a little crush on said singer." James teased good naturedly. Naturally he had to tease his son on his first crush right?

Harry laughed, "No way dad! I don't even know her. She is very pretty but I'm not about to base a girl of her looks and talent without knowing her."

Astounded by the maturity shown by her son Lily asked where he got it from.

"Grandpa of course. He has been training me for years now and taught me responsibility to go with the training. If I wasn't mature enough Grandpa would have limited my access to anything dangerous." Harry said with admiration in his voice.

"Well then, I do believe that we need to get to sleep so the time zone difference doesn't affect us too much." James said while smiling at his son. "Make sure your suitcase is packed for 8pm Harry, see ya then sport."

'Well, it looks like I've got time to do a bit of editing before packing,' Harry thought.

'Better get started.' He thought as he ascended the stairs with thoughts of pink-haired singers and Japan on his mind.
