... spoken with her about Harry, where he went into a little more detail about his new friend's childhood โ though not sharing too much, as he didn't want to betray Harry's trust โ ending with the request he had made to get more information on his godmother. Augusta was shocked, even more so when she learned that Harry hadn't even known whom his godmother was before this summer. She couldn't help but think that, had things been just a bit different, Harry and Neville might have grown up as brothers. She was used to feeling disappointment towards her young heir, but the change this summer had wrought was a complete one eighty. Neville was going over to Harry's new home nearly every day now, and the result was a more confident young man. He told his grandmother that the two of them were studying, and just talking, and that Sirius had been sharing a lot of stories about their parents.

She and Arthur were several years older, and though they hadn't been very close, she had enjoyed spending time with him, as well as Lily, James, and Remus. She had never really warmed to Peter, and now she knew why. Susan was also becoming a regular presence in the McGonagall household. She enjoyed spending time with Harry and Neville โ especially Neville โ and she, too, was enjoying getting to know Sirius. Especially since it seemed as if the man might become a permanent fixture in her life, if her aunt had anything to say about it. As her parents had been much older than him, he didn't have too many stories โ they had been in their seventh year when he had started at Hogwarts. Most of what he knew of them came from the few years after graduation, when they had been members of the Order of the Phoenix together. He did, however, tell her a lot about her aunt. Amelia had apparently been a few years ahead of him in school, but when he had joined the Aurors, she had been one of the training volunteers, as she had only finished her training a couple years ...
