Epiphany

GROWING UP

Lucy gave Astra the evil eye, she was going to pay for the little stunt she just pulled, Narcissa was cooing at Harry she always loved kids. "Lucy" Harry said with an excited voice, pulling Lucius long white hair. "Good job Harry, now we know that it isn't a wig to hide his bald ass head." Whispered a giggling Astra to her laughing son.

Wanting to go on with the introduction, she introduced baby Draco. "Lastly this is your cousin Draco, he's the same age as you, you're going to be great friends." Harry looked at Draco with his big green eyes seeing a white tuff of hair on his head. "Ferret" squealed Harry trying to grab Draco "no, Draco" "ferret" "Draco" "DR-DR-DRRRFERRET.". Astra looked at Harry with amusement swimming in her eyes "there seems to be a little miscommunication but that's alright we will work on it." Said an highly amused astra "He called my son a ferret" deadpanned Lucius. Astra looked at him with an innocent smile "You got that right uncle Lucy"

Another wave of laughter rolled trough the great hall, Draco's ears were slightly red. Harry was being praised by his uncles (Barty, Rabastan, Evan) saying it was the best thing he could have said. Astra rolled her eyes "children" she muttered. The movie began playing again, jumping to another scene where Harry looked a little older.

Harry – 3 years old

EXT. Black cottage – Morning

"Can we play hide and seek please?" asked a now three year old Harry. "I don't know sweetie, I've got to do some laundry, maybe after." Said Astra not wanting to say no but knowing that if she said yes she would never get her laundry done. "Please" begged Harry with puppy eyes not taking no for an answer. Astra was trying not to look at him, she couldn't resist his puppy eyes it was her greatest weakness. In the end Astra accepted defeat, knowing how stubborn Harry is. "Alright, one game" said Astra. She began counting forgetting to set boundaries for the game "One, two, three, four, five,..."

While Astra was counting, Harry was looking for a hiding spot not finding any inside, he went outside in the big garden. Finding a hollow tree as the perfect hiding spot. "27, 28, 29, 30, I'm coming" yelled Astra out. 20 minutes into the game Harry fell asleep still a little tired. Meanwhile Astra was searching for him everywhere upstairs, downstairs and even down in the cellar but she couldn't find him anywhere. An hour went by and she still couldn't find the little rascal.

Astra was downright panicking, considering to call Lucius and Narcissa but she reasoned with herself that she needed to stay focused. After another hour she finally realized that she didn't look in the backyard. Running outside, she heard her son crying out for her. Following the sound she found him stuck in a hollow tree. "Oh Harry, I was so worried. Are you alright my love?" Cried Astra out in relief. "Mommy, I miss you. I scared." Answered harry back seeking comfort from his mom.

'She is not your mom sweetie" yelled lily out with a creepy smile on her face "I am why cant you understand that" "I would rather bite my own arm of than be your son" Harry said back, shivering from the thought alone.  "Take that back young man, she will always be your mom. And it is time you come to realise that your actual mom is my lily flower and not that whore of a deatheater." Ranted James.

He could barely finish his sentence before he was hit by a hex from both harry and Regulus, breaking all the bones in his body. "now that his little rant is over lets start with the movies again shall we." Announced an unbothered Fleamont not wanting anything to do with his son anymore.

"I know baby, I am he.... Wait what did you just call me?." "mommy, why are you being so weird, why are your eyes leaking?" asked an unknowing Harry. "You called me mom, you called me mommy. I love you with my whole heart Harry." Answered Astra with tears of joy running down het face.

She could finally be the mom she always wanted to be, maybe not with her own blood child but that didn't matter because Harry would always be her son.

Harry – 5 years old

Ext. Black Cottage – Midday

Harry and Astra were walking trough the halls of the Black cottage trying to find something to do, when Harry suddenly stopped in front of a door. "mommy why am I not allowed in there?" asked a now 5 year old Harry full of curiosity. Not knowing that, this room specifically brought a lot of painful memories. "Because it's a room filled pain, laughter and love but also memories that I could not face. But I think it is about time that you knew about your now family and your biological family." Answered Astra with a pained face.

Opening the door, they were met with a beautiful room with a crib and a rocking chair. Children books big and small, stuffies of al kinds and a lot of pictures. The pictures were people, who Harry doesn't know. Of his mom with a black haired man. And a couple with red and brown hair, so much pictures. "This Harry would have been your little sisters room, Nova. And that man would be my husband, well soon to be husband. You would have loved him, his name was Regulus. He had the most beautiful eyes, he was charming and funny and he would have loved you to." Told Astra to little Harry, her eyes sparkled when she talked about him.

"I would have" whispered Reggie in Harry's ear bringing a genuine smile to his face

"But where is he now and where is my little sister, why didn't I meet her?" questioned Harry. " They are with the stars, guarding over us, comforting us when we are sad. Just like your biological mom and dad." Answered Astra. "But you are my mom" "yeah but you had another mom. Her name was Lily Evans, she had beautiful red hair and sparkling green eyes, just like your eyes. She was Gryffindor and the kindest muggleborn I ever knew."

"I take that back, like in a whole. Harry sometimes I speak Bullshit this was just one exemple and when I do that you don't need to listen to me." Declared Astra full of confidence. Making the great hall burst out laughing, except for lily who was seething, she would find a way to get rid of that little bitch.

"Than you have your father James Potter, he had brown hair and glasses. He was part of a group called the marauders with three other people peter Pettigrew, a little rat boy. Remus Lupin, the kindest of them all, he was a real sweetheart and at last Sirius Black, your fathers absolute best friend.

"not anymore"

they always pulled pranks on others sometimes it would go to far but most of the times it was pretty funny."

"Do I hear a love declaration Malfoy" screamed Sirius "If you don't shut your mouth right now Sirius I am going to tell everyone your biggest secret. You wouldn't want that would you? " Countered an unamused Regulus. "No sir Regulus the greatest please don't tell anyone." Answered Sirius very siriusly.

Astra explained everything she knew about Lily and James to Harry, because he had a right to at least know a little bit about his real parents. When Astra was finally done talking Harry asked who the people in the last picture were. "these people were... are my best friends. This is Severus Snape we lost touch but I think he is a teacher at Hogwarts.

Their friend group complimented Severus on his achievement, knowing he actually loved children and teaching.

The tree other people are Barty, Evan and Rabastan. I don't talk to them anymore, I miss them a lot but they are not in a good place. They were punished for actions they did not want to commit and now they are in Azkaban. I think that is enough for today. Would you like some hot chocolate?"

"We are where now?" asked Evan perplexed "well as I understand we are in Azkaban" answered Barty "Nooo not there, what about my skin, my beautiful skin. They don't have the facilities to care for this hot piece man. What would I do without my body lotion." Exclaimed a distraught Rabastan "I can tell you what you would do now if you don't shut the fuck up." Said snape.
