Mary sent an old box full of objects, pictures and such of Hari's parents. Most of it was Lily's, taken with from Mary's polaroid camera, photos of the girls' dormitory and trips to Hogsmeade.

And at the bottom of the box was a small tape entitled 'Christmas '78'. He quickly put it in and watched it.

It started with Mary filming Remus and Peter, failing at wrapping a present together. Their hands and arms covered in tape and half of the present was still unwrapped.

A blonde woman, Marlene Mckinnon, suddenly appeared and ran towards the camera.

"Mary! Cas just told me you were here, I haven't seen or heard from you in months, how are you?"

Mary tossed the camera to the side to hug Marlene and the film skipped to some time later. Lily was holding the camera and recording herself.

"So, James just threw up. Which was disgusting. Got some on Sirius' shoes and then they started fighting each other in the place he had just vomited. I am never getting that picture out of my head. Anyway, they're getting cleaned up now and Mia and Monty just arrived so dinner will be soon."

The screen then blurred and the close face of a younger Sirius showed. They grinned at the camera.

"Hello future Mary! Bet you're happy to see my face!"

"No one wants to see your face that close up, Sirius!" Lily said, taking the camera back.

She directed it towards Sirius but at a further distance than before.

They jumped onto the sofa and laid down, "Aren't you a little short for a stormtrooper?"

The camera twirled around and Lily appeared again, "Okay, and with that I'm going to stop recording."

Sirius appeared next to her, "I don't want to talk to you no more, you empty-headed animal food trough wiper. I fart in your general direction. Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries."

Lily turned to them, "Okay I got the star wars one but what was that?"

"Monty Python and the holy grail."

"... Bye Mary!"

The video skipped again, now James stood in the center of the same room as before with someone else holding it.

"Dad are you recording?" James asked directly to the camera.

The video turned and faced what seemed to be an older version of James but without the glasses and neater hair, Hari's grandfather, who smiled and waved at the camera before turning it back round.

Remus was sitting in the corner of the screen behind James, fiddling with a record player before Bicycle Race by Queen started playing.

James grinned and then start to sing and dance.

It had gone on for about a minute, James singing and dancing with a vary of laughs during it. Until James grabbed the arms of his mother and Lily and got them to sing along.

"Come on, it's our anthem! You too, Moony!" He gestured to Remus sitting behind them.

Remus reluctantly got up with a small nudge by Sirius and came over to them, Lily linking their arms together.

James' mother sang (sometimes interrupted by a small cough) and danced as much as James, holding his hands in hers. Both with wild hair and glasses. While Lily and Remus only sung but were both considerably better at it.

The camera tilted as the performance came to an end, Dorcas and Marlene sitting half on each other while throwing tinsel at them.

Fleamont laughed and cheered before he started coughing, unable to stop.

"Dad? Dad, are you alright?"

Euphemia ran over to him, as the camera fell the floor, "Monty!"

The film stopped and Hari stared at the blank screen before breaking out in sobs.
