(Lily's POV)
Today is Victoria and Harry's birthday. I was nervous as to how today would go down. I hope that Harry and James can behave themselves. They both act aggressively towards Jonathan and I don't want that because of them Victoria starts to drift apart from us.
If today goes well, then maybe Victoria could start to warm up to us again.

(James Pov)
Today is my children's birthday I am as happy as I could be but there is something that has been bothering me that boy Jonathan, I don't like him it's because of him Coco has stopped interacting with me more.
First, because of him, Coco stays in Slytherin, then he beats up Ron and Harry for a petty reason, and now even Lily has invited him to the party.
I just don't like him the kid gives me a bad feeling.
But Lily has told me to behave as to it doesn't look good that a 30-year-old has a bitter relation with an 11-year-old. So I promised I would behave in front of him but Sirius will keep an eye on him.

(Harry's pov)
Today is my and Victoria's birthday she has always been a more personal person. She liked to stay in her room and read books and make potions with mom.
But recently she has closed off even more to us especially me and dad. I think it is because we tried to force her into Griffindore, Dad tried to undermine Jonathan and we generally do not like him.
But I think if we gave him a chance Victoria could start to open up to us again.
-------------------------------------------------------
(Victoria's pov)
My family are very judgemental of me and my friends, well a friend it is Jon I just don't get it, Why is it that my brother and dada hate him? I just don't get it he is super nice to everyone, he helps people and he didn't even try during our end of the year exam and got 2nd place.
I just don't like it when Dada and Harry try to undermine Jon. He has never tried to disrespect any of them is very well behaved for our age I can't even compare him to the other boy's all of them act immature.
It is because of their behaviour I have lessened my interaction with Dada and Harry. I just want them to respect my choice and be happy for me that is all that I want.
Today is Harry and my birthday party Jon is going to come and Mom has already told both of them to act more maturely.

(Jon pov)
Today was Victoria's and Harry's birthday I was pretty nervous because it was like literally entering the belly of the beast. And I know that James will try to pull something he is somewhat childish.
I was preparing myself for the party I was wearing a green suit with a white shirt and a vermilion tie and had my snake tiepin with a slick back hairstyle.
The party was at their home in Godric's Hollow. I decided to take the carriage to get there. I arrived at the party. It wasn't a party more of a small get together.
I walked up to the Home it was a cosy little place I always thought that they would have been living in a bigger house if they weren't so dead. It seems like they are about the minimal lifestyle.
I walked up to the door and knocked on it and Lily opened the door and said "Well, hello there Jonathan, how are you? Come on in."
I stepped in and said, "Hello, Mrs Potter, How are you?"
Lily looked at me and said, "Well, Jonathan you look so nice in that suit that colour suits you."
She lead me to the living room and I said, "Thank you for the compliments Mrs Potter you look very amazing." I looked around and there was
Weasley's, Tonks, Sirius, Moody somehow was there, there was also Daphne, Olivia, Hermione and Ted.
Daphne, Olivia and Ted were in their group and Hermione was talking with Ron and Harry.
I walked up to Ted and said "So, how is everyone doing?"
Ted said, "We are enjoying the party, by the way, I heard from Daphne that your Rune now worked, congrats man." Ted was wearing a white shirt with a blue bow tie with suspenders and he was wearing trousers.
I said, "Yeah, but it can only power small devices that have batteries I still have to figure out to power a bigger device."
Olivia said, "Why are you always like this just enjoy your success for once." Olivia was wearing a white summer dress with floral print her had a ponytail.
I said, "Yes, you are right I shouldn't do this on her birthday or she will be mad, by the way where is she?"
Daphne said, "I will go check on her." I couldn't help but look at Daphne. Daphne was wearing a deep blue colour dress and she had styled her hair into a bun.
She went upstairs and we just caught up. In a few moments, Victoria came down with Daphne. She was wearing a red colour dress with a golden chain on her neck, it had a locket in it.
She walked up to us brushing past many people and we all caught looks from other people, especially me from Black. Which I thought was weird. She walked up to me and asked "How do I look?"
I smiled and said, "Not gonna lie Coco, You look beautiful." She was red and so was James.
I said, "So, I think you should start the party now Mrs Potter." She nodded and Victoria went toward the cake Harry and James were standing there James kept giving me a look which I didn't like.
They cut the cake and we Sang Happy Birthday to both and went on to eat the cake and food they surprisingly also had Coke and Fanta I didn't expect that. I finished my food and was feeling filled so I took a coke and went outside and sat on the stairs and drank my coke.
Victoria followed me out James gave a look to Sirius and he nodded and went after her. Victoria came next to me and said "Hey is this seat taken?"
I laughed and said "Please." We both laughed and I said, "So how are you?"
She looked tense and said "Things with my Dad and Harry are not that great. It feels like they are trying to control everything."
I said, "Maybe they are trying to look after you."
She said, "I understand trying to look after someone but this is like very controlling behaviour. And I still don't get why they don't like you."
I said "Well,...I have no response to that. I have no idea why your dad hates me." I then in an attempt to lighten up her mood and said "Look what I got you for your birthday" I pulled out the first Diskman that worked and gifted it to her.
She looked at it and said, "But isn't it expensive?"
I said, "Ah, no worries, Turn it on."
She turned it on and music started to pour into her ears and said "IT IS BRILLIANT" I laughed and nodded. she took off the headphones and was also laughing.
(Can't take my eyes off of you.)
I said, "Let me plug in the splitting cable." I plugged in the splitting cable and put on our headphones.
A black dog was laying on the grass but we both didn't notice it somehow.
We sat and listened to the songs. She looked happy and I said, "I need to talk to you about something."
She said "WHAT?" she removed her headphones I removed mine.
I said, "I found out who my mother was."
She gasped and said, "Who was she?"
I said her name was "Emilia House. I have been living in one of the mansions in England." As soon as I said that the dog moved inside.
She said, "The Emilia House who went missing?"
I said, "Yeah that is her I was given a letter from Dumbledore which was written by my mother."
She asked, "What did it say?"
I said, "She said that she loved me and told me to be strong."
She asked, "Is there any other relative who is alive?"
I said, "Yes, Gellert Grindelwald. The Dark Lord." But she didn't look surprised. So I asked, "I was hoping for a bigger response."
She said, "Well, it was common knowledge that House family was related to Grindlewald."
I asked, "How so?"
She said, "It's basically in the book 'The history of Britain's magical families' most of the noble families are made to read that so they know who they are dealing with."
I asked, "So then I will be fine?"
She said "Not exactly the ministry will still keep an eye on you. But don't worry no one will come after you." She then patted my back and asked "What will you do now?"
I said, "I am going to start using my full name with pride Jonathan House."
She looked happy and said, "Nice to meet you Jonathan House."
I said, "Thank you for helping me with this."
She said "Anytime Jon." We then got up and went inside. As soon as I stepped in Daphne, Olivia and Ted stormed at me.
I asked, "What is going on?"
Ted said, "Why didn't you tell us?"
I asked, "Tell you what?"
Daphne said, "Why didn't you tell us you are House?"
I was confused and asked, "How do you know that?"
Daphne said while looking at Sirius and James "We overheard Them talking".
I smiled and said, "I have also recently found this out."
I then turned to Victoria and said "I am going to Harry to give him his gift." Victoria she nodded and went with me.
We walked up to Harry he was talking with the Weasley twins, Ron, Ginny and Hermione. They saw me walking towards them and went quiet.
I took out the present and gave it to Harry and said "Happy Birthday Harry."
He said, "Thank you, Jonathan."
I said "No need to thank me, Harry. I hope you enjoy your gift." I then left them and we went towards Lily and I said: "Thank you for inviting me to the Party, by the way where is Mr Potter and Mr Black?"
She was confused and said "They are in the study. They had something important to discuss."
I smiled and said, "Thank you again Mrs Potter for inviting me."
She said, "No need to thank me, Jonathan, now you go along talk with your friends."
We then went away to talk to our group.
