“Uh… what are they doing?”

“James! Sirius!”

“Haha, can’t keep up, Pads?”

“Look, I’m a grown ass man and I can’t fit in this thing. Let me get my bike and we’ll see who’s faster.”

“Nope. Haha.”

“That, Harry, is your Dad and Uncle Pads. Don’t grow up to be like them.”

“Da Pa!”

James and Sirius playing around the muggle park to the astonishment of others around them. They brought Harry here to play and the adults are the ones playing around. People were talking damn it.

Taken by Lily and she is just so done with them. Though, she’s glad Sirius is smiling for once.

“A Black, Marls? Of all the damn guys in Hogwarts, you go for Black?”

“Marlon, just because you don’t get any doesn’t mean you can judge me.”

“It’s big brother prerogative, Marls. Besides, you should be glad I’m the first to know. As soon as the big boss hears of this, you’re boyfriend’s a dead meat.”

“You didn’t tell Mason?”

“Wow. Apparently, I’m now the tattletale.”

“Okay, that was one time.”

“You told Grandmamma about my boyfriend. You know how much of an old school she is.”

“Ah, ‘old school’ - the days of blood purity, racism, homophobia, and witch burning.”

Marlene being cornered by her brother before her date with Sirius. Apparently, the McKinnon Grandmamma isn’t very happy with the Blacks.

“Working hard, beautiful?”

“What are you doing here, Sirius?”

“I heard you got a new job, so I’m visiting.”

“The shop is closed. Next time you want to ‘visit’, go do it when it’s open. And order some things.”

Marlene McKinnon after hours. She was in charge of closing the shop and was the only one left behind to finish cleaning.

Taken by Sirius Black who was amused to see Marlene llike that.

“What are those two doing?”

“Making memories, so they say?”

“Yep. They’re gonna have memories of that.”

Taken by Lily Evans who asked Remus Lupin the question.

“Oh yeah, who’s the man? Hi-Five.”

“So, Emma, mind telling me why I have to run too.”

“Moral Support, Sev. If I’m gonna be losing weight, I have to see someone suffering more than me.”

“That’s what I thought.”

Emma Vanity after finishing an entire lap with a panting Severus Snape. Apparently, the senior felt that she was getting fat and needed to exercise. And exercise won’t be fun if she suffer and others don’t.

Taken by Regulus Black who was visiting for the weekend and was thankful Emma hadn’t forced him to run as well.

“Ohohoho, it is on.”

“I... I am a kind person. It doesn’t matter who you ask. Everyone knows it to be true.”

“Oh why you little--”

“But let me tell you. I do have my limits. And you may be family but that does not mean I will not fight back.”

“Happy 17th Birthday, Marly.”

“Thanks, Dorky. Although going to Italy so we could have some of their Gelatos and dragging me to France may or may not be too much.”

“Oh come on, you’re 17 now - and you passed your Apparation test. We can apparate now.”

“Yeah, but travelling all these long distance is making me tired.”

“We can’t go back yet!!”

“What?”

“Er... Paris has the best chocolates. Come on, let’s go.”

Marlene McKinnon and Dorcas Meadowes in Paris to celebrate Marlene’s 17th. Dorcas is actually distracting her since the others are still finishing the surprise back at the McKinnon manor.

“Haha, don’t be fooled, Martha, we’re the secret rulers of Hogwarts.”

“So, I see.”

The Hufflepuff Graduates with Amos Diggory’s new wife, Martha Diggory, who the alumna welcomed to their ‘family’ with open arms. If you marry a Hufflepuff, you marry the House, so they said.
