Author's Note: Penultimate installment...

"Go ahead Scotty," Jim invited.

'I've got some strange readings coming for the Transporter Bay, Captain.'

"Understood. Kirk out. Sulu, you have the Conn, Commander if you can join me please," he remarked as he rose from the Captain's chair.

He led the half-Vulcan to Harry's quarters. The door swished open and Harry looked up. "It's time," he murmured.

"Yeah," Jim agreed wistfully.

"Shall we?" Sirius spoke as he rose.

The quartet were soon at the Transporter Bay, Harry in the lead. He barely noticed the light glowing in front of the pad, since Draco was stood in front of it. "Do you have any idea how worried I've been?" the blonde demanded.

"No?" he replied, unable to keep the questioning lilt from his voice.

"You went into the Department of Mysteries and never came out!" he spoke pulling the startled brunet into a hug.

"Statute of secrecy," he reminded softly.

"It took months of research to figure out a way to find you, let alone a way to bring you back!" he continued fervently. Sirius cleared his throat. The blonde turned in his direction. "Sirius?" he breathed, his hands dropped from Harry in his shock.

The Animagus grinned. "I would offer to go through as a distraction, but it's probably better that we all go back through together."

"Yes," he murmured and Harry stepped back from him.

Scotty tugged him into a hug. "I'm going to miss you laddie," he murmured, heartfelt.

"I'm going to miss you too," he replied honestly, returning the touch. When Scotty released him, he crossed the distance to Bones and hugged him fiercely. "You're going to have one less person to look after, Dr Motherhen."

"I'm sure Jim will keep me busy," he sighed, causing Harry to laugh softly. He released him reluctantly.

Harry turned to Spock, and the half-Vulcan pulled him into a fierce hug. He returned it. "I will miss you," Spock stated softly.

"I'll miss you too, look after them for me," Harry requested in a murmur.

"Of course," he promised before releasing him.

Harry turned to Jim with a watery smile. The blonde wrapped his arms around him tight, lips curling into a poignant smile as the brunet held on just as tight. "You were like the little brother I never had," he murmured, rubbing Harry's back when the brunet's breathing hitched. "And as your brother," he continued, lowering his voice slightly, "I need to point out, that his feelings aren't what you thought they were. Go for it."

"Okay," he murmured and reluctantly pulled back. "The crew?"

"I'll tell them that you had to return to your home planet suddenly," he assured.

"There is no guarantee how much longer our way back-" Draco began, voice cautioning.

"I'm ready," Harry stated and joined Sirius on Draco's other side. The blonde took hold of each of their hands and stepped forward.
