A/N: I have this story completed, have for a while, but thought I'd post it for you all. Anyways, it's all uploaded and I'll just post it chapter by chapter, one day at a time. It'll give you all something of mine to read, and me time to get some work done on other stories.
Anyways, here it is. I've noticed a lot of losing memory spells where Harry comes back and he's attacked viciously by uncaring people, seemingly alone after a long period of time. So, I felt the way that I think they would react needed to be written. Here it is! Enjoy!

Lost Memories
Chapter Four: Two Sides of the Story Meet
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Up at the Castle. . . . .
Albus Dumbledore was exhausted, he was holding yet another meeting with the Order of the Phoenix, who were still looking for their last missing member, Harry Potter-Snape. In the past year they'd met several times a month trying to find the boy and come up with nothing. They'd gone through all of Europe, Russia and China and he was about to send some of them to Australia and Africa. They were running out of places for Harry to be, and Severus was losing hope.
He looked around the room, Severus, as usual, had his head buried in his hands, refusing to let anyone see the tears they all knew were there. Sirius and Remus were sitting next to him, both scared and worried about their godson, and the husband that was left behind. Remus was finally expecting their first child, and both had moved back into the renovated Shrieking Shack to be close while searching for Harry.
They'd moved into the Shrieking Shack the first time in Harry's sixth year at Hogwarts, to both be close and to cut off the tunnel for access to the school. Though the tunnel was open now for those who had no intention of harming the castle, Sirius had charmed it as such. Next to them was Minerva McGonagall, the woman missed Harry as though he were her own grandson, Albus still remembered Harry's reaction to the news that he was Harry's great-grandfather, his mother's grandfather.
Harry had been thrilled, upset, happy and angry all at once, resulting in a very hard two months of strained conversations until they worked through it and Harry was okay with it. Next to Minerva was Seamus and Hermione Finnigan, Hermione was expecting their second child soon. Their first was a girl, Emily, who was just a little over one years old, as Harry and Severus's child should be by now.
Next to them was one severely depressed looking Draco Malfoy, who had when Harry disappeared lost his best friend while he was still grieving for the loss of his husband, Colin Malfoy. Albus smiled a bit at him, at least he still had their son, Alexander, who was just turning two in a few months. Sitting beside him was Lavender Weasley, Ron's wife, who like Draco had lost her husband in the final battles.
Lavender had three children to take care of though, her four-year-old twins, Suzette and Sarah and her one-year-old son, Ronald Jr. He almost laughed, his teaching staff now consisted of half made families that were missing one parent or a child of some sort. The war had really been hard on them all.
Anna Sprout was sitting beside Lavender, but just barely. Her wife, Emily Hooch, had been murdered in the war, along with their daughter, Melanie. Their son, Michael, was just barely eight years old, and was the only reason Anna was still with them in his opinion.
Molly, Arthur and Bill Weasley stood behind them, uncomfortable to sit during the meeting. Bill blamed himself for Harry's disappearance. The curse that hit Harry had been aimed at him when Harry jumped in front of him and took the blow instead. They still didn't know what that curse was or had done to Harry. What they did know was that after the flash of white light, Harry was gone.
Sighing, he began the meeting by saying, "We're going to have to search Australia next. I'm honestly disturbed that we haven't found any sign of him at all yet. . . . ."
A loud beeping went off and Sirius and Remus at once pulled out their wands and stood. Albus looked at them and said, "What is that?"
Sirius and Remus made towards the door calling out behind them, "Someone's gone into the Shrieking Shack and set off our wards, the ones showing someone using the tunnel."
Albus's eyes widened and they all pulled out their wands and followed, hoping to get to the intruders before they got to the castle. They rushed through the castle and across the grounds towards the whomping willow, ready to defend Hogwarts from possible attack.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Harry, James, Abby and Tony were about to go through the opening under the tree when Tony insisted on going out first after hearing the tree above them. Harry had rolled his eyes, but allowed Tony to act like the over protective bear that he was and go through first. Abby just chuckled as Tony disappeared through the tree only to stop when Tony called back down, "Abby, Harry, stay there. There's a group of people running towards us with their wands out, keep James safe."
Harry and Abby exchanged glances before wondering if they shouldn't make a run for it back to the Shrieking Shack and apparate back to Kansas City to make sure that James would be safe, but deciding to wait. They hadn't come this far to not have someone know Harry was safe, and to not know what had happened in Harry's life that he still couldn't remember.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Albus, Minerva, Molly, Arthur, Bill, Sirius, Remus, Severus, Seamus, Hermione, Lavender and Draco all stopped short when they saw a single man standing, without his wand drawn, just outside the reach of the tree's branches. They all continued to move towards him, and upon reaching him left it unspoken that Albus would handle the situation. Albus smiled warily at the man and asked, "May I ask what you're doing here, Sir?"
The man smiled and said, "Certainly. I'm Tony Roberts, you wouldn't happen to know where the current Headmaster of the school is would you? My friend, his son and my wife are waiting under that tree thing trying to make an entrance to the school while not being noticed to speak with him, or her I guess."
Albus raised an eyebrow and said, "I'm the Headmaster. I'm Albus Dumbledore. . . ."
Tony cut him off with an, "Oh thank Merlin. He was, well we were all worried you wouldn't still be Headmaster. You see he had an accident just over a year ago and he's still having issues remembering things, but he has a good grasp on things through I think his fourth year here. Uh, can we talk in private though? It's a very sensitive nature especially considering his son."
Hermione blinked from beside the group and whispered, "Harry. . ."
Tony looked at her sharply and said, "Who are you?"
Hermione smiled a bit before saying, "Hermione Finnigan."
Tony blinked and called back to the tree, "Abby? Harry? Hermione's here with the Headmaster, you might want to come out from there and say hello before we talk."
The tree's branches stopped waving and a young woman, Abby, came through and reached back for a small little boy who was literally a smaller version of Harry, before she walked over to Tony. The little boy smiled broadly at Tony and shrieked, "Toiee!"
Tony smiled and took the little boy from Abby and said, "Hello Jamesie boy, where's your Dada? Hmmm? He hiding under the tree?"
James grinned and nodded before answering, "Yes!"
Abby and Tony chuckled at James before Abby turned around and yelled out, "Hey big-shot get your sexy arse out here and say hello!"
A timid voice called back, "No way! I saw Weasley red hair! There's a whole damn group of people out there! I refuse to make a fool of myself for not knowing who some of them are!"
Tony looked around and said, "Oh come on Harry! You've waited a year for this, now you're here where's all that Gryffindor courage you always got in trouble for, ey?"
The voice grumbled back, "Sorting Hat wanted me in Slytherin you know. . ."
Hermione, having enough of this yelled out, "Harry James Potter-Snape get your arse out here NOW!"
Tony handed Abby a grinning, giggling James and walked over to the tree, hauling out a distinctly miffed looking Harry Potter-Snape. Harry and Tony ended up wrestling on the ground while James called out, "Go! Go! Go! Dada! Toiee!"
They got up and Harry blushed under the stare of people he only had about five years worth of memories of before smiling at his son and taking him from Abby, kissing his forehead. Harry held James close and smiled timidly at the rather large group before saying, "Uh, Hi?"
Albus blinked and said, "Let's take this to my office shall we?"
Harry nodded and without saying a word to anyone walked over to Severus and plopped James in his arms. Severus didn't object and held his lost but found son close and looked over his husband appreciatively before Harry leaned in and whispered, "I might not remember yet, but I know you're my husband and James's father. George Weasley told Tony this morning while we were in his store."
James looked between the new person and his Daddy before he asked, "Dada?"
Harry smiled at James and said, "Yes Jamesie?"
James grinned back and said, "Keams!"
Harry shook his head and said, "No, you just HAD Ice Cream. Right now we're going to go talk with that nice man over there with the twinkling eyes, and your Daddy. Okay Jamesie?"
James pouted but nodded, leaning back into the strange man that was holding him. Albus led Harry, Tony, Abby and Severus back to his office. James watched all the portraits as they passed them from Severus's arms with undisguised awe. Harry, Tony and Abby just smiled at the little boy while Albus and Severus stared at him with wonder a bit of awe.
None of the group noticed that everyone on the field had followed them right into the office and were standing behind the small group as they sat on chairs around Albus's desk. Harry told his side of things, about his new career, his new life of sorts. Abby and Tony added on and commented when they felt appropriate. Harry, for Severus's sake, talked a lot about James.
Then Albus frowned and said, "Well. It seems we need to update you on quite a few things. Severus do you know of any potion that might help restore his memories?"
Severus looked up from where he was playing with James and said, "There might be one. I'll have to go get it though. It helps with that Muggle disease Alzheimer's Disease I think it is. I'll floo down to my office and be back in a minute with it."
Severus smiled and kissed James, preparing to leave and Harry suggested, "Severus, why don't you take him with you? He loves the floo powder. Not sure why, but I'm sure he'd love to go with you."
Severus looked down at his and Harry's son and asked, "Do you want to come with me James?"
The little boy looked up and grinned before saying, "Go! Go! Go!"
Harry, Abby and Tony, who were used to this, laughed. Severus looked confused for a moment but Harry smiled and said, "That means he wants to go with you, he doesn't want you to go away Severus."
Severus smiled slightly at Harry before picking James up and flooing back to his office to get the potion for Harry. Abby and Tony smiled at Harry and Abby said, "So that's the mysterious husband we've been looking for is it? I have to admit Harry, you've got good taste."
Harry blushed and mumbled, "Just wish I could remember him."
