Once Forgotten, Once Remembered solo

The August day was sunnier than usual. Not a cloud in the sky. Godric Hollow seemed a tad more happier, lighter than usual. Kids laughing, playing outside in the town or the surrounding forest. Enjoying their summer holiday.

Although not everyone was enjoying the sunny day of the summer holiday. Henry Knight laid in his bed, the bottom bunk with a pillow over his head. The teen wanted to be alone, he wanted silence. A moment to become lost in thoughts. Memories. Even if they tortured him.

His step siblings were outside enjoying their summer and the parents at their works. Henry didn't mind being alone, he liked it. Laying there. Eyes looking into the darkness of the pillow. The time ticked by soon it changed from morning to noon. Henry didn't feel like getting up but heard the meows of his feline; Loki so figured he should.

Henry threw his pillow aside, pulling himself out of his bed and changing out of his pajamas into jeans and his slytherin dueling hoodie. The teen walked toward the door, opening it and leaving it open a crack with Loki following at his heels.

Henry walked downstairs, eyes peering around. He is alone. The teen took a breath hesding toward the kitchen as he looked through cabinets, the fridge. Looking for food. He didn't find anything for him self, finding that he isn't that hungry but he did fill up a bowl with dry food for his orange feline. Loki slowly ate still watching his onwer with amber eyes.

The teen leaned on the wall, reaching his left hand to feel the pendant around his neck. Smiling softly as he traced the symbols with his fingers. The rust rubbing off onto his fingers creating a reddish color on his skin. Henry aimed his eyes above, fingers still tracing the symbols of the pendant as he stood there. Silently. Loki looked over at his onwer, giving a meow that Henry heard and looked over at his feline softly smiling as he pushed himself away from the wall and walked.

Leaving the kitchen, walking up the stairs back to his room when a door at the end of the hall cuaght his eye. His father's office. Henry looked around, there wasn't anyone there and he watched as Loki scampered into his room that he shared with Rose.

Henry took a breath, walking down the hall toward the door. The teen reached for the knob, hesitantly taking it in his hand and twisting when he heard the click. Pushing it open a crack, Henry cast another gaze around the hall. He is still alone. Another breath. Henry slipped into the office.

The office wasn't that large. Henry casy a gaze around at the wooden interior. The shelves of books, single desk, window seat, fire place missing it's crackling fire. The teen stepped further in, looking around as he felt the rug underneath his feet. It was soft yet starchy. Odd. The teen moved closer to the shelves, running a hand along the spines as he read the titles.

The dark arts. Protection aginest the dark arts. History of the dark arts. The unforgivable curses. Creation of azkaban. Most of these aren't at hogwarts, maybe the restricted section but what are they doing here... what are you doing father...

Passing the desk, Henry eyes the books. Feeling their leather spines underneath his fingertips when suddenly he came to a stop. His shins hitting something creating a loud trump which startled the boy a tad as he snapped his neck down to a part of a box sticking out on the bottom shelf.

Kneeling down, Henry pulled out the box curiosity filling his mind as he read the words written on top of the box in black marker.

Muggle Camcorders. Scrapbooks. Muggle Cassettes. Ivy Knight belongings

At sight of his mother's name, Henry moved to open the box but then remembered his father and.... stepmother. The teen didn't want them to see what he was doing or eith the box, his father kept it in hia office for a reason. Looking around, grip on tne box shaking a little as he looked toward the door debating his next move.

Deciding, Henry got to his feet caryying the box as he walked toward the door of the office thay he awkwardly opened then closed behind himself. Carrying the box back to his room at the other end of the hall. Pushing his door open with his back, Henry walked through his shared room to the bottom bunk. His bed. Loki jumped on the bed, circling his owner's pillow then sitting down on it. Henry placed the box on his bed then walked back toward the door to slowly close it.

Walking back toward his bed, Henry sat down on his bed with one knee tucked underneath him. The teen pulled the box closer to him, running his hand along the sides as Loki looked over with amber eyes. Heney took a breath, pulling open the flaps of the box open as he peered inside.

The box is lined with leather-bound scrapbooks, muggle camcorders, and cassette tapes. The teen ran his fingers along the object's in the cardboard box wondering if he should take them out or close the box once again. Henry took a breath, wrapping his fingers around one of the camcorders and pulling it out.

The teen flipped the screen flap open, pressed thr button to turn it on. Henry saw the red light blink a bright red color. Never have used a miggle camcorder before the teen started to press buttons of the camcorder until he found a video. The teen looked around, aiming his eyes for the camcorder. Unsure what to do as he took a breath then started the video on the camcorder.

Move your boby like a hairy toll!!! Learnings to rock and roll!!!
Spin around like a crazy elf!!! Dancing by myself!!!

Four year old Annabeth stood on the couch, holding a hair brush and singing (rather screaming) as loudly that the small girl could manage.

"Spin around like a elf!!! Learn to rock and roll!!! Do the Hippogriff!!"

Henry claped for his twin sister, jumping on the ground in front of her while their eleven year old brother; Arthur filmed (standing behind the camera). His face couldn't be seen but his words could be heard as the camera shook.

"Nice one, Anna. Join her Henry!"

"No! N..not if you f..film it!"

"It will be fun, come on merlin!"

"Come twin!"

Annabeth keeled down, reaching for her twin's hand. Grabbing it then pulling him onto the couch, bother toddlers standing on the couch as Annabeth started jumping.

"Move your boby like a hairey toll! Spin like a elf!! Learn to rock and roll!"

"Uh- m...move your b... bo..."

"You can do it! If I can then you can!"

Annabeth wrapped her arns around Henry, at first the young boy was hesitant then started jumping with her as both kids sang.

"Spin like a elf! Learn to rock and roll! Dancing with you! Move like a hairey troll!

The video stopped. The screen going to black. Henry smiled as he looked at the camcorder, he hadn't remembered that memory in a while and smiled at the thought. Placing the camcorder back in the box, Henry eyed the others and figured that he would be alone for a few hours. Deciding to take a differnt camcorder out of the box, flipping the camera and the turning it on. The teen found the video unsure what will show as he clicked to start the video.

"Blow us all away, one day you'll blow us all away"

Ivy had a baby in her arms, carefully rocking the boy as she hummed a soft medley with Luke (not see by the camera) filming her from behind the door

"One day you'll blow us all away... one day you'll change the world.... my little knight, my arthur."

Ivy spinned lightly on her heels, rocking Arthur as she pressed a kissed to his forehead. Looking up to find Luke filming her, a smile on her face

"What are you doing?"

"You can't flim yourself anymore so I thought I'll help you."

"But your not in them now and now Arthur and the others can't laugh at you when their older."

"I thought they would be to save memories for them."

"Your so camera shy, Luke Alluring."

"The camera always loves you more than me, Ivy Knight."

Camera draws closer, zooming in on Ivy's smile before dropping down to enclosed baby Arthur and Ivy together

"Both of you, the camera loves you both."

The video ended. Fading to black. Henru felt himself smiling, staring at the camcorder. Watching videos that he didn't think existed and memories that he never knew about before. Henry placed the camcorder back inside the box, there are still others laying on csrdboard. Waiting to be turned on. Henry didn't see the harm in watching a few more as he picled up anorher camcorder, flipping the screen then looking for the video.

Once found, Henry took a breath and clicked the button to start the video.

"Happy birthday, Daring,"

Ivy's words as she placed a small blue cake with a few candles on top in front of a six year old Arthur, the boy smiling up at his mother and father; Luke who filmed it and stood behind the camera. Unable to be seen. The trio sat in the dining room of their old godric hollow home

"Make a wish, Arthur."

Arthur proped himself up on his knees, leaning onto the table as he took a breath then blew out the six candles on cake before looking up at his two parents

"What did you wished for?"

"I wished for a brother."

Ivy llooks into the camera, smilimg at Luke who laughs a little

The video ended. Images faded. Henry looked at the camcorder, curious when that was created and smiling a little. That was what his older brother wished for? A brother? For him? The teen felt something warm his heart and grow along his spines as he smiled reminding himself to show Arthur the camcorder later as he set it inside the box.

Picking up another, Henry pulled it out. Fliped it open then turned it on. Repeating the steps that he did before as he found the video then clicked a button to start the video.

"Ahhh!"

"C...can I g..go?"

six year old Annabeth is hanging onto Luke's back, quite tightly as he swings in a circle. Henry at his father's feet, standing on tippy toes and asking for a turn with Ivy laughing and filming the scene unable to seen since she's behind the camera

"Faster! Faster! Faster!"

"Father? When c...can I g...go?"

"Luke?"

"Alright what about we do this instead."

The man set Annabeth down next to Henry, the two twins looking up at their man who picks up both of them. Holding one over each shoulder as he started to spin quite fast

"Weee! Your the best, father!"

"Woah! Woah! Ahhh! T... to... too fast..."

"Hang on."

The video ended. The screen fades as Henry smiled at the memory. He didn't remember the time but watching it now still caused the teen to smile. Henry nearly forgotten what life was like with his mum, how fun it was and how every room was filled with laughter. How they went on adventures and stargazing. Those times- memories slowly being forgotten. Slowly being replaced with new ones.

Henry placed that camcorder back and figured he would watched one more, pulling out anorher camcorder and flipping the screen toward him. Turning it on then looking for the video. The teen pressed start and couldn't imagine what would start next.

"Come on! I'm sure it isn't that bad."

Ivy stood behind the camera filming a door that another voice came from

"No! It's horrendous!"

"Your just dramatic, come on let me see."

"Can't I wear something else to show you?"

"No! Now come on or I'll hex you..."

"You would never!"

"Just come, Eddy!"

A man with dark brown hair, bright blue eyes, and pale skin enters from the door wearing a orange plaid suit

"Eddy? Really?"

"So maybe not that one, perhaps the black!"

"Yeah... perhaps... great job genius..."

"Alright alright, go change Ed."

"No one better see that, Ivy!"

The video ended. Henry stared at the camcorder. His momd racing as he recalled the names and faces.

Ed? Could that be.... Edward or the one from the cassette!

Henry set the camcorder in the box, turning around toward the shelf above his pillow as he grabbed the cassette. Reading the name and address once again.

Edward Knight. Could that be my uncle? They knew each other maybe... maybe... maybe he still lives there and if he does then.... then... it's worth a chance
