Harry tossed and turned all night, finally as the sun was making its first appearance of the day Harry got up and began to cook some breakfast. Lucius had been right he had neglected to feed Teddy and Noah. Once everything was set on the table with warming charms Harry left a note for the boys telling them he was going to the campsite, and not to worry he would be back later.

Harry appeared just outside his family's campsite boundary and made his way to the tent he and Ginny shared. He walked through the flaps and saw his wife was already awake. "Hello Love, I was afraid I might wake you."

Ginny smiled a sleepy smile, "no I've been up for a bit. What brings you here? Is everything all right?"

Harry sat down next to Ginny and wrapped his arms around her. Once Ginny had settled comfortably into him he spoke, "Everything is fine. I came to see if anyone had come looking for me, and to speak with Hermione about something. This case is a mess, every time I learn something new it leaves me with more questions than answers. And I can't stop thinking about Amelia, she's was taken three days ago this morning, I can't let anything happen to Noah's daughter anymore then I could let someone hurt our kids."

Ginny leaned up to kiss her husband on the cheek, "you'll figure it out love, you always do. As for Amelia you just need to keep hoping she's okay. If anyone can find her it's you." Harry and Ginny remained that way for quite some time. They were simply enjoying the easy intimacy of snuggling with the one you love. Finally they heard stirring in the campsite and went out to the fire. Harry was pleased to see it was Hermione.

Hermione smiled when she saw Harry, "If you're here does that mean you've sorted out the trouble at home?"

Harry shook his head, "No I just got here, I actually need to talk to you about something, actually someone; Elias Somerfeld."

Hermione's eyebrows shot up, "My boss the head of the magical law department, that Elias Somerfeld."

Harry nodded, "Yes, I figured since you are the deputy head of the department you might be able to help me."

"What do you need to know Harry?"

"You work with Elias more than I do is there any way he is a willing participant in the neo death eaters?"

Hermione thought for a moment, "He is power hungry, and I've always thought he was a bit prejudicial in his treatment of anyone he believes to be beneath him. I wouldn't put it past him to have joined or at least agreed to help the neo death eaters if the price was right."

"Thanks Hermione now I just have to wait for Elias to come to me."

Hermione frowned, "you think he'll come here?"

Harry nodded, "Joe told him I was camping here with all of you."

Hermione nodded seemingly deep in thought. Soon all the Weasleys were awake and bustling around the camp. Harry didn't have to wait long before Elias showed up. The kids had been confined to their tent for the morning and the adults were sitting around the fire feigning casual conversation when he approached them.

"Good morning everyone," he spotted Harry and smiled, "Good you are here Harry I was hoping to have a word with you."

****************************************8

Lily Potter was gathered around the mesh window at the back of the girls' tent with both her brothers and all her cousins. She had watched her dad go off to the side with this Elias man and now they were watching and listening to their conversation courtesy of some extendable ears. Lily wasn't really sure what to make of everything that was happening. She was only twelve after all, but she knew in the very pit of her stomach that something was very wrong. Lily returned her attention to her father and was frightened by what she saw. The Elias man was pointing his wand at her family and her dad looked murderous. In all her life Lily had only ever known her father to be a kind, gentle, and loving man. The man she saw before her looked dangerous and threatening. Lily moved closer to the extendable ear to hear what they were saying.

"….I don't like it when people point wands at my family Elias."

"What are you going to do Potter, you with your soft heart, the idea of you hurting me is absurd."

Harry glowered at the other man, "Do not make the mistake of underestimating me. I may not like violence and yes, I may be soft hearted, but I learned a long time ago that there are things that will push me over the edge."

Elias snorted, "What are you going to do Potter, you won't kill me, you want to know where that girl is."

Harry pressed his wand further into Elias' neck, "there are worse things than death Elias and so help me God if you continue to point that wand at my family, or if I find out you harmed a single hair on Amelia's head you will wish I killed you."

Elias tried to hide the fear in his eyes, "What are you going to do use Unforgiveables on me? You wouldn't dare, you made it illegal for Aurors to use them."

Harry smirked, "I'll use whatever spells I see fit Elias, and remember I have never been big on following the rules."

Elias was shaking in place no longer able to hide to fear in his eyes, "But surely not the cruciatus curse, you wouldn't."

Harry stared down at Elias and the other man shrank back from the venom on Harry's gaze, "You know there's a secret to that curse, Bellatrix Lestrange taught it to me when I was fifteen. You have to mean it. If you want the pain to linger you need to want the other person to hurt. If you don't lower your wand and come with me now I'll have to put Bellatrix's rule to the test."

Lily watched wide eyed as this fearsome person who resembled her father disappeared with a pop dragging Elias with him. Lily saw identical expressions of shock on the faces of her brothers and cousins. They were frozen in place they didn't move until they heard her mum's voice from behind them.

"Jamie, Al, Lily are you all right?" They turned to face their mother and saw that Uncle Ron and Aunt Hermione were here as well. Lily gathered her courage and spoke, "Mum why was dad so frightening. He's not a bad man, but he threatened to use an unforgivable curse on that Elias man. Why is dad not acting like himself?"

Ginny, Ron, and Hermione shared a smile, and this made Lily angry, "Why are you smiling my dad who is good, and sweet, and kind, and loving just acted like a complete monster how is that funny?"

Ginny stopped smiling, "It may be hard to understand sweetheart, but your dad is everything you said he is, but how do you think he's done everything he did over the years, even excluding the war, did you think he became head Auror without having to be a little threatening sometimes?"

Lily snorted, "That seemed like more than a little threatening."

This time it was Ron that spoke, "you kids don't understand, when we were your ages we didn't have many opportunities to be kids, Harry more so than the rest of us. We were fighting in a war and watching people we knew and loved die. I can say with absolute certainty that Harry is the best man I know. He is kind, loving, loyal, brave, selfless, and he would do anything to protect someone he cared about. You kids only get to see your dad you don't really get to see Harry Potter, and that's what you just saw."

Lily felt more confused than ever, "what do you mean we don't get to see Harry Potter, that's dad isn't it?"

This time Ginny spoke, "No sweetheart, there are two Harry Potters, the first one in the legend, the boy who lived, the chosen one, the savior of the wizarding world. The other is my Harry, your dad who is everything the legend is, but he's also so much more. You kids just saw a side of your father he prefers to keep from you."

Lily felt herself growing angry again, "Why does he keep it from us, we've all heard the stories, why does he have to hide this side of himself?"

Ginny smiled, "You all were scared when you saw Harry threatening that man right?" All of the kids nodded and she continued, "Harry didn't want any of you to be scared of him, he loves all of you so much, he wanted you to grow up feeling one hundred percent safe all the time, so we as your parents decided to keep the version of ourselves we were during the war to ourselves."

Finally Hermione spoke, "You must realize that every adult here has a dangerous side to them, a side who has fought and killed before. It is a dark side, but that doesn't make us bad people, and it most certainly does not make Harry a bad person. You saw the dark side of Harry today, but there is no reason to be afraid."

The three adults left the children in the tent to ponder what they had just learned, and returned to the camp fire to keep watch.
