"Hali can you answer the door!" Hermione yelled to elf child who was also in her care.

"Got it Aunt Hermione." Hali yelled jumping off the couch and heading for the door.

Hali was now 16 and would be entering her last year of Hogwarts when the summer ended. She had grown to be a beautiful woman with herdark hair and bright blue eyes. When word had reached her at Hogwarts via her Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher and Uncle's father James Potter that her Aunt Ginny was missing and her Uncle Harry had gone to find her Hali had been quite distraught. But she had decided that she was sticking around, she figured the least she could do was help her Aunt Hermione and Uncle Ron out now that they where taking care of two babies and Jason and Anne.

Hali threw open the door expecting to see her best friend Alec Lupin who she had plans with tonight but was highly surprised to instead see a man she was not expecting at all.

"UNCLE HARRY!" Hali yelled with excitement, launching herself at him, her Uncle's strong arms catching her.

Hermione came walking into the room holding a basket of neatly folded laundry and a scowl on her face.

"Hali what is all this commotion?" Hermione asked stopping dead in her tracks, dropping the cloths to the floor.

"Hi Hermione." Harry said letting go of Hali and dropping his hood that hid his black hair.

"Hi Hermione!" she yelled pulling out her wand and advancing on him. "Hi HERMIONE! Is that all you have to say for yourself! It has been a bloody year Harry James Potter! Do you know how much you have missed in a year!" Hermione said.

"I know." Harry said, a little fearful of what Hermione was going to do to him.

"Hermione what's going on!" Ron asked coming down the stairs and seeing Harry, Ron could only think of one thing to do.

He walked up to Harry, past his wife and Hali and punch Harry hard right in the eye.

"That," Ron said, "Is for being a git."

From his place on the floor with an already swelling eye Harry just looked up at Ron.

"I'm sorry mate. I've failed. I've failed as a husband, as a friend and most of all as a father." Harry said.

Ron put out his hand and hesitantly Harry grabbed it, allowing Ron to help pull him up.

"Nah mate. We all make mistakes. What matters most is that you're back." Ron said embracing Harry like he'd embrace any of his brothers.

"I could not find her mate. I looked, I did things any man would be ashamed of but I still could not find her." Harry said, trying his hardest not to break down.

"Uncle Ron are you going to come finish our story?" a voice asked from the stairs, causing Harry to turn and see his daughter. Her red locks falling down her shoulders, he noticed that black streaks had grown into them.

"Lilithanne." Harry said, the little girls eyes going wide.

"Daddy?" she asked unsure.

"It's me." Harry said moving away from Ron, Hermione and Hali and toward the stairs that his daughter was running down.

"Daddy I've missed you!" Anne said as her father hugged her tight, she smelt just like her mother.

"Oh I've missed you as well." Harry said, not wanting to let go of his daughter, how in the world did he ever leave her, or any of his children.

"JASON COME ON DOWN STAIRS!" Ron bellowed as he also sent Hali up stairs to get her other cousins Evan and Nick.

"What?" Jason asked as emerging from his room, his black raven hair sticking out at all ends.

"Jas" Harry said, smiling.

"Dad?" Jason asked confused.

"Hey son." Harry replied.

"Where is mum?" Jason asked.

"I... I could not find her Jason. But I'm not going to stop looking. I will fine your mum!" Harry said to his son, to his daughter.

"Does that mean your leaving again?" both children asked fearful.

"No. No I promise I'm not leaving again, at least not for this long ever again. I'm sorry I left but I'm back and we can go back home." Harry said.

"Really?" Anne asked.

"Yup. You, Jason, Evan and I are going to go home." Harry said as Hali came down stairs with both Evan and Nick. Harry took Evan into his arms, his son. He had missed so much in all of his children's lives he was not going to allow that to happen again.

"Harry I'd like you to meet your godson Nicholas Granger Weasley." Hermione said holding out her son.

"Well isn't he a cutie." Harry said looking at the little boy who had red hair, freckles and Hermione's deep brown eyes.

"So your back for good?" Hermione finally got out to ask.

"Yeah. I think I am." Harry replied.

"So Lil what are you going to do today?" Joey asked as Lily closed the refrigerator door, a bottle of milk in her hand.

"It's Lily and I donno. I guess maybe go to a movie or maybe for a jog in the park." Lily said as she reached for a bowl and dropped it to the ground, shattering.

"Damn you alright?" Joey asked, making sure Lily wasn't cute by the glass.

"I'm fine!" Lily snapped, not meaning to.

"What's wrong?" Joey asked, "I'll call Clare?"

"No! No worrying Clare." Lily said as she sat down and put her head into her hands, letting out a long sigh.

Joey sat down across from her.

"So what gives?" he asked, in his heavy New York accent.

"I just had a bad night." Lily replied.

"Well?"

"I donno. I had this dream but I can't remember what it was about. But it has left me annoyed and angry and I don't know why. Bloody hell Joey I don't even know who I am. It's been what, 2 years and we are no closer to finding out who I am. I still get horrible pains in my shoulder and neck because I was tortured and can't even remember it! And the worst is every time I see a baby I can't help wondering if it's mine! I have a child out there and it will never know me cause I don't even now me!" Lily said frustrated.

"Lily all I can tell you is we won't stop looking. Your identity is out there some where and we will find it." Joey said giving her a hug that Lily appreciated.

"Now come on let's go kidnap Clare and the three of us will go to a movie!" Joey said, like a little school boy.

"All three of us!" Lily said, a small smile spreading over her lips

"Yup the trio! The three musketeers!" Joey said raising a spoon into the air as if it was a sword. Lily just smiled while in the back of her mind remembering a young boy with a sword in his hand, killing a snake.
