Brianna nodded and handed it back. There were a light more than thirty people still coming. Bri had told Dumbledore that Damien had disappeared a day before her, but she hadn't seen him here. Theo, Flower and Ryan haven't either, so wherever Damien was, was a mystery.

They approached the subject of her entering the hospital wing when the three time travelers were seen entering by a portrait that Dumbledore held in his office.

"Is everything alright? Anything wrong?" Dumbledore asked in a concerned, grandfatherly way that made Brianna smiled. It reminded her of her own grandfather.

"I thought I was sick of something, but… I started thinking that maybe I was… pregnant, sir. Before I came here, weeks ago… I knew I used a charm, I swear I did." Bri seemed to just pour everything out after not really saying anything to Madam Pomfrey.

Dumbledore was nice, understanding. "If it comes to it, I will make sure you and your child it safe within Hogwarts. I will not let any harm come you either of you, you know this, right?" He said patiently. Bri nodded.

"I'm not even sure I am pregnant. Madam Pomfrey thinks that I'm not far along enough to tell, so I have to go back sometime to see her." Bri explained. She had Dumbledore's back up, if anything happened.

Before she left, Dumbledore made a strange suggestion. "I think your family or at least a family friend would like to hear from you at least." Bri looked at him strangely, wondering if the old man had actually cracked when he held up an old looking book that looked oddly familiar. "This book is going to be given back to the Potter family when I wish it. If you wish to sneak in a note on page 356, I wouldn't stop you." He handed the book to her and left her to the silence.

She opened the book to page 356 and gasped. This was the book that they found in her time! The one that told them the spell. Surely they were still looking in it for information, they would surely see a note it she place on in it!

Quickly, gathering some parchment and a quill, dabbed with ink, she wrote a letter.

Dear everyone,

I wanted to tell you that I'm alright. I'm in 1975. Teddy, Lilly and Orion are here with me, but I fear that Damien hasn't shown up yet. I'm posing as Dumbledore's granddaughter, Caitlyn Dumbledore. Lillian is named Flower Riddle. Teddy is called Theo Kcalb and Orion is his cousin apparently named Ryan Kcalb. Look up anything if you wish, Dumbledore said that he sent letters to the minister about Lillian and Teddy.

Everything's okay for now. I swear we'll find a way back, but until then we're here. We love you.

Sincerely,

Brianna Caitlyn Weasley

Fact Seven: Harry Potter was turned into a werewolf, when Lillian and Jameson were six because he was dying, by Fenrir Greyback.

When the letter came, no one knew what to think. Harry gave it straight to Ron and Luna, thinking that since it was from Bri, that it was their right to read it first. All Harry had read was 'Brianna Caitlyn' at the bottom and then used the Floo to call Ron. Harry had asked for the names of everyone and looked for any information about them. None was found.

"The letter said that Damien hadn't shown up. They haven't seen him at all. It wasn't that long ago that he disappeared, maybe he's trying to reach Hogwarts right now." Harry informed Draco. The Malfoy patriarch's head was in his pale hands.

Where is he? Draco thought for days, weeks. Where could his son be? No one knew.

Damien was bleeding. His leg had been broken again and many Death Eaters tortured him every day for information. He said nothing. He began having dreams, flashbacks really. Some were of him and his family and some were of what he wanted. He wanted his friends and his home back. He knew though, that he wasn't going to see them for a while.

Voldemort was as ruthless as possible. He beat him like a muggle and he had Fenrir Greyback toss him around a few times, but he was forbidden to bite Damien. He was completely sure that he was going to have permanent scars because of the four times he was tossed like pizza dough by the burly werewolf.

"Ready to talk?" The Malfoy patriarch asked, opening his door. Damien didn't reply. Abraxas narrowed his eyes and unsheathed his wand from his long black cane. Waving it casually, Damien found himself hanging upside down with blood rushing to his head. "When you're ready to talk, just scream. I'm sure that you'll be heard sooner or later, depending on how loud you can be."

Before Abraxas left, Damien cracked. "I'm a pureblood! Pureblood!" The older blond raised a delicate eyebrow at the boy. Damien breathed heavily. "I swear on my magic that I'm a pureblood!" A sliver mist twirled around him, signifying that he had told the truth. Abraxas smiled.

"Well, I guess that means the Dark Lord won't kill you now." The man left without another word.

Damien hung, feeling nauseas; he didn't know how he was still in the air. He figured with Abraxas gone, he would fall and break his neck at least.

Fact Eight: Harry, Teddy, Lilly, and Melody know their mates for life, Ethan and Nathan do not. Harry and Hermione are mated, as are Teddy and Lilly. Melody knows her mate, Scorpius Malfoy, but doesn't know how to explain it to adults. Scorpius knows.

Voldemort, for days, was smiling. His Death Eaters were slightly scared when they entered the meeting chambers and he was smiling as thought he had the secret to the universe. They had no clue why he was so happy.

Voldemort knew who Flower Rettop was: 'Flower' Potter. Since she was obviously a time traveler, it made sense that she would know how the world turned out and who won the battle; the Light or the Dark. Her 'mate' that he heard about, Theo Kcalb was also a time traveler. Voldemort sunk into his seat with a victorious feeling. Flower Potter and whoever Theo Kcalb is, along with the other boy who went to Hogwarts, knew the future and he wanted to know too.

Abraxas had come in one evening during a meeting and told him what the blond boy that was found at the ministry had said. Damien was a pureblood, more likely than not, he was from the future. He would know. The only way he would find out though was torture, or at least that's what he used to do. Damien was strong willed and tight lipped. He wasn't about to drop any secrets off.

"Abraxas… Go fetch the boy for me." He called quietly. The Malfoy patriarch followed his master's instructions, hearing the demand perfectly in the near silent room. Death Eaters littered the ground, on their knees to bow to their master. There were a few moments or silence before Abraxas came in, dragging the boy along the ground. "Hello, Damien." Voldemort said in a soothing voice.

Damien grunted and rolled to his side like a person would in pain. His eyes were shut tight and his teeth were gritted. Voldemort smiled. "Feel up to answering questions, boy?"

Damien glared. "Maybe, depends on the question. You already now I'm a pureblood, I swore on it."

The Dark Lord nodded. "Yes, yes. I know that. You are a time traveler, like the girl that suddenly appeared months ago-"

Damien gasped. "Flower? Flower showed up here?" The blond winced. He should have acted like he hadn't known her! Now Voldemort wanted information.

Voldemort's snake eyes narrowed. "Yes, dear Flower. I allowed her to leave though." Damien sighed with relief. "I wish to know more." He pointed his wand and both he and Damien were thrusted into Damien's mind.

Damien ran with the football I his hand, gloves donning his hands. He threw the ball in the air and kicked it far away, laughing as Flower and a group of other teens chased after it.

Flower reached it first and was tackled by another boy that looked like the Black child, Sirius. He was wearing Slytherin green, as was Flower and another boy who was standing by looking as though there was no greater joy then being with friends.

"Come on, Teddy!" Flower yelled excitedly, grabbing the ball and running. The Metamorphmagus boy, 'Teddy', raced after her and nearly toke her down when the Black child encased his legs with his arms.

Teddy broke free and he reached where Flower had stopped to laugh herself silly. Damien was a mere six feet away, staring at them like they were an old couple whom were whispering sweet nothings to each other in a park.

Teddy wrapped his arms around Flower and their foreheads touched. "Love you Teddy." Flower said quietly. Teddy smiled and mouthed something back.

Damien was panting hard and looked terrified at Voldemort's smirking face.

Voldemort raised himself up and slowly said. "Lilly Potter…"

Scorpius and Melody were snuggling in the backyard, gazing at birds and other woodland creatures that littered the world around them. "Sco..." Melody whispered. Scorpius glanced down at her and kissed her forehead, the only thing that showed they were 'together' in a sense.

"Yeah, Mel?" He whispered back.

Melody didn't say anything for a moment and continued to look out to the forest surrounding. Scorpius was used to it; he knew she likely spaced out again, so he didn't bother for an answer she wasn't going to give. He was surprised however, when Mel cuddled farther into him and asked, "You're not going to disappear like Dame did, right?"

It was a fact that the Malfoy boys, Damien 'Dame', Lance 'Lane' and Scorpius 'Sco' were Melody's favorite people outside the family. Melody always asked for Dame to babysit her and Damien was happy to any time.

"I promise that if I disappear, I'll take you with me." Scorpius stated. If he did disappear, she would be the one he would take. She was the one that kept him sane.

"Okay." Melody smiled. At least Scorpius would be with her.

Fact Nine: Dumbledore's house elf, Kimmy, became a Potter elf after hearing about Harry and Hermione being married. Dumbledore was happy for her.

Severus, Rabastan, Rodolphus, Lucius, Narcissa, Bellatrix and Regulus all stared at the ground where Damien laid unconscious. The Dark Lord had left and they were the only people in the room because Voldemort had ordered them to watch him while he was out causing trouble for the Light.

Their friend, Flower Rettop, was actually the descendent of their least favorite person, James Potter. Lilly Potter was from the future. Her mate, Theo Kcalb and his cousin Ryan Kcalb were too. That meant they weren't who they played out to be. Voldemort said Theo was called 'Teddy' in Damien's head. So there was Lilly and Teddy, and whoever 'Ryan' was.

Narcissa pointed out, when they were arguing about James naming his child after Lily being stupid, that Lilly might be his granddaughter and not his daughter. She didn't act friendly enough to be close like a father and a daughter would be. Lilly was too distant for that. Lucius agreed.

Rodolphus had been poking Damien's body with the tip of his shoe and nudged him every couple of seconds. He jumped away when Damien suddenly groaned and opened his tired gray eyes. "What?" He faintly whispered. "Who are you all?" He asked, even though he looked as though he had a pretty good idea who everyone in the room was.

One by one they introduced themselves to the pale boy. "My name's Severus Snape." Severus answered.

Rodolphus and Rabastan answered together, "We're Rodolphus and Rabastan LeStrange."

Bellatrix looked a bit miffed, "I'm Bellatrix Black."

"I'm Narcissa Black." Narcissa said politely, the pureblood ways burned into her.

"My name is Lucius Malfoy." Lucius got the strangest look of all. Damien's eyes got wide and his mouth hung slightly open, but shut like he was brought up as any pureblood was. Lucius saw the training in his eyes. "Who are you?"

Damien swallowed the choke in his throat and quietly said his name. "Damien, just Damien." He turned to Lucius. "Abraxas is your father right?" He asked, though he knew the answer. The resemblance was uncanny.

Lucius nodded, but said nothing else on the subject of his father. "Just Damien? You must have a surname, especially if you're a pureblood."

Rodolphus interrupted, "You know, he actually looks like you and Narcissa if you think about it."

Damien couldn't have been more surprised. He thought that maybe they would overlook it so he could escape the questioning, but he guessed his luck ran out then and there.

Everyone examined him and agreed on the statement. "You know, Rod, you're right. He does look like a Malfoy." Severus concluded. He scratched his chin in thought. "But since you're awake, could you tell us about Lilly Potter?"

Damien eyed them for a minute before saying anything. "What about her exactly?"

"Anything; favorite color, real house, siblings, you know. Stuff like that." Rabastan pressed randomly.

Damien smirked. "She loves green and she's really a Slytherin. She has five brothers and two sisters." Everyone looked put out and Narcissa looked slightly sick.

"Five brothers and two sisters?" She repeated faintly. Bellatrix looked equally bothered. Damien almost laughed his ass off and he would have if he wasn't still bleeding and had a broken leg. "Damn, that's fucking crazy. There's no way I'm having more than one kid. I hope you know that Lucius." She looked pointedly at him. Lucius blushed and the other boys (except Damien) and Bellatrix laughed full heartedly. She tensed then turned back to Damien. "You aren't our kid, right?"

Damien smirked, "Would that be a bad thing?"

Narcissa blushed horribly. "No! I just… It's be weird, no offense."

Damien chuckled and saw Lucius throw him a look. "No. I'm not your kid, though you two have a son named Draconis, Draco for short." He threw caution to the wind and let some information out.

Lucius looked proud and Narcissa looked shocked, but happy. Everyone was congratulating them for their future son.

Severus looked at him closely. "How do you know Draco?" Damien sighed.

"I'm not Draco and I'm not a brother of his obviously." He paused. "Draco Malfoy is my father."

Lucius gazed at him with surprise and Narcissa had placed her hand over her mouth. "You're…" She started but didn't seem to finish.

Damien smiled sheepishly. "Hi."

Bri stood with Orion and Teddy supporting her shoulders. She was pale and all she could really do was swallowed the lump in her throat and fall forward. She felt the two boys that became very much like family to her catch her and settle her to the ground.

"It'll be okay, Bri." Orion whispered in her ear. If anyone heard, there would be no stopping it from getting out. Teddy rubbed her back smoothly, something he knew calmed her down.

"I just can't believe it. I just really can't…" Bri muttered slowly. Orion and Teddy pinned each other with a pained look of sympathy. They had no clue what to do. Lilly didn't know yet and she would most likely freak, and then be helpful.

"Theo, go get Flower." Orion motioned for Theo to let go of Caitlyn's body. He gripped it and hauled her up to him. "We'll be in the Room of Requirements." Theo nodded and took off.

Flower was found in the library with Severus and the LeStrange brothers. He hauled her off before her three companions could utter a single word of confusion or protest. However, Flower being pulled away didn't stop her from voicing her confusion. "Theo! Why are you dragging me off to Merlin knows where?"

Theo continued down the hallway, answering her in a hurried voice. "Bri… Caitlyn I mean, she's…" He tried to explain, but having people around him and the amount of gossipers in the school was making it hard to tell Flower what happened without it getting all over the school. Brianna's pregnancy was the last thing people needed to know about.

Flower looked as confused as ever, but she ran with him as well. People stared, but they knew how Theo Kcalb and Flower Riddle behaved together, so it didn't matter to them. When they rounded the corner, people went back to their business and Theo and Flower arrived to see Caitlyn rocking in Orion's arms.

"He's not going to be here… He's not going to know… I can't write it in a letter…" Caitlyn's voice whispered out to their advanced hearing.

Flower rushed over, passing Theo completely. "What's wrong?" She asked worried.

Caitlyn sobbed. "I'm pregnant." She hiccupped. "I'm pregnant and Mikey isn't here to be with me and his child!"

The Potter mansion has a room that holds only portraits. The Marauders, including Severus Snape, Nymphadora Tonks-Lupin, and Albus/Gellert, Dumbledore family are also portraits in the room.

"Can you believe it? He's your grandson! At least now you know you have a son and not a girl. I couldn't imagine Lucius handling a girl. He'd be better off with a boy anyway." Bellatrix twirled a piece of hair curled around her bony, pale finger. She sat lounged on the black couch in the Slytherin common room.

Narcissa had been smiling none stop since she had last seen Damien (her grandson!). He was just what she wanted. The same sleek, platinum blond hair with piercing gray eyes as his ancestors were definitely present in him. Damien was definitely a Malfoy. Narcissa bit her pink lip. Voldemort would never let Damien go if he knew who Damien was; knowing who Flower really was enough.

"Mommy! Look! Aren't they so pretty?" Melody called out. She ran far and fast, collecting flowers to make necklaces and crowns...

"Bet you can't fly like I can Jay!" Mikey called arrogantly. James scowled and grabbed his broom. They ran to the Quidditch field with gusto...

Christy laughed so deep that her stomach was beginning to hurt. Orion's eyes rolled and his balance was failing miserably...

"I want to love you. I want to claim you like a mate, Lilly..." Teddy snuggled into Lilly's neck, breathing heavily. Lilly leaned back, exposing her neck where he will, in the future, place a mating mark...

Teddy stood before Harry, blushing with his hair bright red and eyes cast downwards. Harry raised an eyebrow and asked him to sit. "What's wrong?" Teddy's feet rubbed into the floor. "You found your mate, haven't you?" Harry sighed and pulled his godson to his chest and felt the boy's arms wrap around his middle. "It's Lilly, isn't it?" Teddy didn't speak, but Harry already knew the answer...

"I can't..." "Wait for..." "Hogwarts..." Ethan and Nathan grinned widely and showed their shining teeth. Harry laughed and Hermione grabbed the both of them. She placed them on their beds and tucked them in. "Good..." "Night..." "Mom... Dad..."

Harry hadn't been able to sleep. All he could think about was his sons and daughters, his friends. Hermione said she felt the same. She had nightmares that they would never get their children back or that they'll find them and it'll be too late. She admitted that her boggart had changed (she had found one in the basement, which hadn't been used since Orion, Teddy and Lilly left). It was now the bodies of those who disappeared, cut up and damaged beyond repair.

Harry didn't have work, but he was occasionally called by Draco to see if he would lead a Death Eater raiding mission. The Aurors needed to round the very few left. They might know how everything happened. Harry was unconvinced though. The only magic anyone had sensed around the book that held the spell was Harry's and it was only natural because everything in the Potter mansion (and Hogwarts) had Harry's magic signature on it. The person who had used the book used a method no one could think of unraveling. Even Severus said so; he was an expert at hiding the fact that he had used an illegal spell book.

The black haired man spent much time in his study, staring at the page that the spell was on. He tried several ways of tracking any other magic signatures on the book. So far, Christy and Mikey (because they had found it and touched it before anyone else) were the only other ones he could find.

The Daily Prophet had finally gotten a hold of the information about the missing children. Rita Skeeter had written a disgustingly horrible report on it.

HEAD NEWS: POTTER, BLACK, LUPIN, WEASLEY AND MALFOY KIDS MISSING!

Rita Skeeter: 'I've recently been informed about a horrible discovery. Lillian Potter, Theodore Lupin, Orion Black, Brianna Weasley, and Damien Malfoy are missing. Reports have been noted about the sudden outings of just the remaining siblings. Harry Potter, and his wife and family, have chosen not to speak about what has happened. Draco Malfoy, Minister of Magic, also denies anything about the accusation. With no way of knowing how the unfortunate children disappeared, what will happen?

Harry didn't get far in reading it. He stopped prematurely for the sake of not throwing a fit and scaring his remaining children. Dobby had been very careful not to say anything, but Harry knew he had frightened the little house elf when he had broken down crying. The worst part was when Mikey had actually come down from his room with James and helped him with his homework. Usually Hermione was the one to make them start, even though they were already smart enough kids to do it on their own.

Tyler and Nicolas Longbottom had come over, seeking help and reassurance that they weren't planning on disappearing too. Charlotte, Lance and Scorpius had taken up residence at the Potter mansion with Pansy in tow. Draco had been pulling all-nighters to figure out anything else, not that anything was found. Denzel and Corbin Weasley, along with many of the Weasley children had taken the liberty of getting the others out of the house for a game of Quidditch or a swim. Melody always cornered Scorpius to go swimming with her or go riding of Granma Berti's horse (that was actually still living).

"Want to go and burn it in the fire?" Hermione's voice came from behind him. Harry turned only slightly. Hermione would be the only person to get so close without him knowing at all. Harry nodded, grabbing the Daily Prophet and a match. "Setting fire to the world again?" Hermione weakly chuckled.

Harry smiled for the first time in a few weeks. "Yup. Outside where it'll leave us alone for good."

They ventured outside and the Potter patriarch lit the match under the newspaper and watched the paper slowly, but surely combust and began to burn upwards. Letting the burning reach to his finger tips, Harry threw the paper up and the couple watched the black ashes fall to the ground.

Damien long hoped some sign that someone else besides the Death Eaters knew he was here. He thought maybe Lilly, Teddy, or Orion maybe knew. He didn't know if anyone else had disappeared. He hoped with a mite that no one else landed where he did. It was bad enough just being here alone. If one of his siblings came here and they were hurt, he would feel so responsible for it; his fault or not.

But as his grandmother and grandfather came back with their friends, he was told that a blond girl with very light blue eyes had appeared, called 'Caitlyn Dumbledore', he knew there was no hope. The line of those who were coming did not stop with him. Brianna had come too; he wondered how Mikey was taking it. They needed to find out how and where the people were appearing. Why did Lilly and Damien show up at Voldemort's? Why did Teddy, Orion and Brianna show up at Hogwarts? Who was going to show up where?

Voldemort left him alone for a while, but included him in the Death Eater meetings. He was important to them at the moment he guessed. It was a while before he was actually asked anything though. Mostly, it was still, 'Who were you?' 'How did you get here?' 'Do you know anything else about the others who had appeared?' He tried to answer the questions without giving them away.

He said his name was Damien. He told them a gold mist circled him and he was here. He told the Dark Lord and his followers that he was classmates with them. Nothing that could give them away was said. It was when he started questioning the LeStrange brothers, Bellatrix, Severus, Lucius and Narcissa did he get nervous. Would they tell on him? If they were cursed, would they tell? He knew they probably wouldn't, but he was still nervous about it.

"Would you care to answer my questions again?" Voldemort's silky voice called. Damien huffed from his position on the floor; face flat.

"Would it kill you to show that you are human and let me sit in a chair? Maybe at your side so it looks like you actually have control over me?" Damien grit his teeth and felt his body shake from the curse. Narcissa and Lucius were eyeing him like he was the strangest thing in the world. He had never told them what happened in the future, so he being difficult with the Dark Lord was suicidal. "It almost makes me wish you were human, Tommy." Damien sighed with difficulty.

Voldemort's eyes narrowed. "So if you know who I am, Damien, you must know Lilly Potter."

Damien turned to look at him. "Really? I hadn't noticed. James and Lily Evans get married? Because I know no Lilly Potter."

Voldemort rose from his chair and walked over to him. He was glaring. "Don't be smart with me, boy. You had her in your memory, plus the other time travelers. You know them and you are friends with them."

"Right. Sorry." Damien said.

"You are trying my patience." Riddle spoke quietly. Damien raised an eyebrow.

"You patience isn't very good. I'd like to stop trying it and go back to sleeping on this nice cold, hard floor. If you don't mind, that is." The younger boy replied.

Voldemort left him alone after that, seeing as Damien was planning on being as difficult as possible. He rolled his eyes. Ask my father and mother, you shall see how difficult I can be, Tom Riddle. You have not seen everything so far.

"I think my ass fell asleep." Orion murmured. His transfiguration class had been testing all week and he had passed with flying colors. He had actually finished all the tests the first day, so he was left to do nothing but watch the others fail miserably. "Can it get any more boring in this class?" He thought he spoke quietly, but Professor McGonagall had caught every word.

"If you were not so good at this class, Mr. Kcalb, you would not be so bored. Why don't you and Mr. Potter go off to the library?" It was more of a demand then a question. Orion hadn't realized that James was done.

"Me too, Minnie!" A loud, booming voice came from behind them. Sirius had just finished and had more ink of his face and hands then on his written test.

"Mr. Black!" McGonagall chastened. Sirius had the decency to look ashamed. "Get, boys!" She turned and rolled her eyes. Orion inwardly smiled; Mcgonagall really did love the Marauders.

"Let's go find, Flower." Orion said as he led the two troublemakers out. They agreed.

When they found her though, she was ashen and trembling. "What's wrong?" Orion pulled her out of the hallway and into an abandoned classroom.

She held u a letter, dark with red ink. It read:

I found out, Lilly Potter and I will get you.

It didn't have a signature, but it didn't need one. She looked at them. "We're in trouble."
