Aurora had spent the rest of the night surrounded by her family, watching film after film until her parents decided to go to bed after the fourth—Rosie had passed out sometime during the second, and Lois during the fifth.

She had eventually fallen asleep once the fifth film was finished, Aurora herself had fallen asleep and was woken a few hours later by Rosie's excitement of a new day.

Aurora did not remember being that energetic as a child.

They had all sat down in the kitchen, Aurora and Lois making pancakes (mainly Aurora, Lois just wanted to crack the eggs and eat chocolate chips).

Aurora hadn't realised how much she had missed being around family until she had moved into the Potters'. They always tried to have dinner together, and always asked about the other's day.

"What are you two going to be doing today?" Their mum asked, sipping on a cup of tea.

Aurora turned to Lois, wanting her to answer first. "Sirius and I are going out."

"Where are you going?"

"I'm pretty sure we're going out with Regulus. And Rory's just going to sit around and mope." Lois teased, a small grin on her face.

"I do not mope." She defended herself quickly. She was just going to hide herself in her room and think...okay, maybe she was going to mope; but there was no way she was going to admit it to Lois.

They had spent the rest of the meal going back and forth, sharing what they were doing for the day, until eventually Lois hurried them out, most likely having realised the time; she was never good at being on time for things.

Quickly, they said goodbye and promised to visit again soon, and left through the fireplace, not without a small tease from her mother about Remus and bringing him next time.

Once in the Potters' living room, she watched as Lois dashed up the stairs to get ready and could hear her frantic running from hers and Sirius' room so she wouldn't be late for meeting the Black brothers.

Aurora laughed lightly to herself about her sister's stupidity and made her way to the kitchen.

"Hi James." She greeted the bespectacled boy who was sat at the dining table surrounded by...napkins?

"Hi." James grumbled from his seat at the end of the table, picking up a napkin and watching it float back down.

"Are you...okay?" Aurora said, cautiously approaching him and the napkins.

"No," He replied. "How do you fold a napkin into a swan?" He looked up at her, and she had to reign in a laugh at the hopeless expression on his face.

"I have no idea." Aurora admitted truthfully. "Why are you folding napkins?"

She pulled out a chair next to him and picked up the napkins scattered around the table, placing them into a neat pile.
