After a long, strenuous day of working as a Curse Breaker, Benjy was looking forward to going home and cooking a warm meal. He had no complaints; being back at work after his suspension was a blessing, another opportunity that he had no intention of fumbling again. But before that, he had to stop to leave a message for Albus. Information had come into the Curse Breaker department about some suspicious activity being reported around Belgium, which Dumbledore had specifically asked Benjy to pass along. The meeting with his former headmaster was brief and to the point, and soon Benjy was making his way out of headquarters, but not before rounding a corner and walking right into someone he’d been subconsciously avoiding.

“Oh, um,” Benjy began, taking a moment to gather himself. “Hey, James.”

“So, for game night I was thinking about making some pizza rolls, what do you think?”

Atlas didn’t know @jameshorton very well but any excuse to gift someone something had Atlas in a particularly good mood. He just liked to make people, and expected very little in return for it. People being happy made him happy, so maybe he was doing this selfishly after all. Too much had gone wrong as of the last few months so it felt good to do something nice. With some help from Aleyna he’d managed to order a gift for the mayor online, delivered to his office with a card that read “another year to make memories, happy birthday” with Atlas’ signature at the end. The gift was a keyring which looked like an old film roll with a plastic camera sticking out of it. When pulled it would reveal a role of printed photos, all specifically of James and his daughter. Aleyna had help him find them online through social media posts and upload them to the sight that he ordered from. Atlas knew this last few months must have been hard after her kidnapping and thought it would be nice to have her with him in some form whenever they parted.

The party had died and the only remaining members in the common room were snogging, petting couples and Gryffindors too drunk to make it up to their rooms. Sirius was struggling to get up the stairs and was going to settle on one of the armchairs when he looked up. “James!” He called out. “My hero,” he purred, “come help me up these stairs, birthday boy.”

[1976] Bridge

A brown owl she didn’t know arrived in the morning with a letter in its beak with her name on it. Even if Andromeda hadn’t seen that owl before she knew that it wasn’t a coincidence that the bird was there, it might be from work or the apothecary so she didn’t take any chances.

What she read made her worry, Sirius had left home, she knew that much, but James was the one writing to her, not her cousin. Was Sirius ok? Why was James writing and not Sirius? Merlin, what had happened?

He set a date and a time to meet, to talk about Sirius, maybe it was complicated, it did say Sirius was fine but stubborn, which match her cousin. She decided it was time to stop worrying and just act. Moving out of the house Andromeda set course for the address James had set in the letter.

[Summer 1973] Dumb Hot

@castle-strutter-potter

During the whole summer there were gatherings like this, family friends that made one kind of party or the other, inviting the whole family and ending up in the same pattern. They would start with the pleasantries, then a big meal and end up in a conversation that they had not over a week before.

He didn’t mind that they were there, he liked the McKinnons, but then the Quidditch fight would start again and they would go circles around it so instead of just staying put he decided it was best to just go on a little adventure.

The McKinnons’ grounds were bigger than theirs, it was surrounded by a mysterious and alluring forest and at the moment he wanted nothing more to go on and see where it got him. He was about to sail on his adventure when he bumped into someone. “Oh, Hullo James.” he greeted with a smile, “Thought you would be in Quidditch wars over there.” he pointed to the table where his brother was talking with Mark.

Benjy was on high alert, as likely everybody else was within Diagon Alley. The protest had been going on for quite some time now, the chants getting louder and the crowd growing larger by the hour. The Aurors had been dispatched a short while ago, forming a wall around the protestors as if to contain them. He watched the protest unfold from the end of the main street, leaning against the front of a shop. Benjy had a horrible, uneasy feeling in the pit of his stomach. Something in the air was teeming, more sinister than the protest, just waiting to erupt.

He spotted James coming down the sidewalk and nodded in his direction. Dumbledore had advised them to blend into the crowd and observe for any suspicious activity, and should they see one another, act as if it were a normal run in. “Hey, mate,” Benjy greeted casually when James was near. “How’s everything going?” Translation: Have you seen anything suspicious?

“Hey, big guy. Is your dad here or did I miss him?” James hadn’t told Clark that he was stopping by, so he wouldn’t expect him to be hanging around on a weekday afternoon.
