I Never Stopped

Saturday 9th August 1995

Grimmauld Place, Somewhere in East London 08:30am

"Ronald, Harry breakfast is ready!"

Ahh the magic words Harry had been waiting for. Since the life changing conversation in the early morning hours, Harry hadn't been able to sleep a wink. All thoughts centred on his AWOL sister, Elizabeth. His sister, every time he heard or thought about that word, happiness shot up his spine making it tingle and a warming filed his chest and heart. It was like all his dreams have come true, like someone had listened to all his pleas and wishes and made this special girl come true. He didn't care what anyone said, he knew it was her and he knew that she would be in his life very soon.

A yawn and a few mumbled words brought him out of his thoughts and made his small smile slide from his face, he had to pretend he was the same as last night, he couldn't let anyone know that his trial didn't affect him anymore; honestly he couldn't give a flying Hippogriff about anything other than finding his sister. That was the only thing that mattered to him anymore, his Elizabeth.

"Bloody Merlin, why does she have to get us up at this blasted hour? It's the holidays! One hour more wouldn't hurt us!" Ron's mumbles finally became so loud that Harry could finally hear them.

"Yeah i know what you mean mate but just think, food!" Harry personally thought Mrs Weasley should have gotten them up around 5ish; it would have saved him from just lying there consumed within his thoughts, which wasn't getting him closer to his sister or out the house.

Harry seemed to say the magic words, as Ron had launched himself out of bed, across the room and out the door before Harry could even get off his bed. With a shake of his head at his food armoured friend he made his way to the kitchen at a more normal pace.

Once entering the kitchen he noticed that nearly the whole house had come down for Mrs Weasleys famous Breakfast; even Kingsley and Tonks were here both looked like he properly did, like a walking inferi. He found an empty place next to Mr Weasley and started putting his breakfast together while shooting a small smile to Sirius.

"Mmm Molly this is just what the healer ordered, you wouldn't believe the morning I've had already!" Tonks looked like she was eating as she was sleeping; only her blinking eyes told you she was really awake.

"Oh that's very kind of you dear but everybody needs a good breakfast to start the day. Speaking of the day who is going to help me and the children finish off the library? Sirius finished yesterday moving all the darker books out, so i would like to get in there before more things move in." At the end of her speech all said children moaned and grumbled under their breath but nothing to loud as to alert Molly, causing Arthur to stifle his laugh.

"Well Molly, Sirius and I were speaking last night and we feel that today we would like to talk to Harry about his upcoming trial. He needs to know what he is facing and what is expected of him; also we would like a little family chat as well. I hope that doesn't cut into your plans too much" Remus then finished with the sweetest and modest smile he could come up with, he hoped Molly would agree and Sirius and himself didn't need to pull out the family card so soon after the fight between the two hot heads. Luck seemed to be on his side though.

"Of course Remus, i think that's a brilliant idea! I was dreadfully worried he would have to go there without any idea about our law. If you or Sirius hadn't talked to him about that then on Sunday evening i was going to ask Arthur to have a quick word with him. Now that's settled, Dora, Kingsley would you like to help me in the library? More wands the merrier" before either of them could reply Sirius' voice interrupted.

"Molly I'm sorry but i would really like Kingsley in our conversation, who better to tell Harry about what is going to happen then an Auror? Also i would like Dora to come as well for her insight but also because she is part of the family meeting we are having. Bill could you join us? I need to ask your advice of some wards i have found in one of the spare rooms I'm quite iffy about, never seen the likes of them before and I'd rather you have a look before i blow the house up or something" at that the table laughed as one, all glad to ease some of the tension they could feel between Sirius and Molly. Neither had really apologised over what was said a couple of nights before.

After getting nods and of courses off said people Sirius sent a smile to his godson and carried on eating.

Soon breakfast had been eaten, the girls who were already dressed for the day helped Molly clean up the mess while all the lads went back to their rooms to shower and clean up.

"Harry we will be meeting in the second floor drawing room, try not to take too long we do have quite a lot to get through and we would like to start as soon as possible" Remus gave Harry a look that plainly said hurry- up, we-need-to-find-her-as-soon-as-possible.

"Of course Moony, i won't be ten minutes, promise" and with that Harry took off as if Snape was on his tail.

Saturday 9th August 1995

Bradford, West Yorkshire- 10:30am

"Oi Izzy, Lexus is here with the mutt so you better get your arse down here like 5 minutes ago!"

Great! Just the way she liked to get woken up; nothing better to get you ready for the day then being rudely shouted up, then have to face the firing squad, nope nothing better. With a tired sigh and a yawn she finally pulled herself out of bed and away from the dreams of her family which would always stay that way.

Five minutes later she was walking into Logan's study, with her hair still wet as she didn't have time to do anything with it. Shooting a glare at the smirking Logan she turned her back to him and pretended he never existed. Unfortunately her fantasy was short lived as his voice broke through the growing tension.

"So what's happening with the mutt? I hope he gets sent back to The Towers and made to do the course again!" before Logan could get his rant started Lexus's stern voice cut across the young vampire.

"No he is NOT doing his training again Mr Kitson, he has been dealt with and this i repeat only once; I have dealt with him personally which means no harm better come to him from either of you, and if i get back so much as a scratch has been placed on him than i hope you get a good run out before i catch you, do i make myself clear?" Making sure he received two nods in understanding he carried on "What i do want to know though is, what the fuck happened last night? Mr Murdoch could only tell me what he saw and as he was at the furthest circle he didn't see anything, so talk!"

Izzy was shocked and by going by the slight tilt of Logan's head, he was to. Toby hadn't been on the outer circle at all! He'd been a merely ten paces from her when the shit hit the fan. Hadn't he told Lexus anything other than him messing up? Taking a look at Toby he had his head bowed down but he kept tapping his knee three times on the left side, he was coding her! And in front for the Head as well, he was a brave one that was for sure. That one move on its own would have brought a small amount of respect back to him but what he was coding her made that respect sky rocket, he hadn't told Lexus anything! At that moment in time Izzy could have kissed him!

"Well Sir i was casting and Logan was feeding the frame, Kimaris was screaming at his army to attack us but of course we had salted the area around us. Suddenly i hear this scream and got pushed to the ground, luckily when i landed i was still inside the circle. Seemed Toby had lost his footing when a demon had jumped the shield causing him to fall into me and break the circle. We had to stop framing and battle his army, by the time we had finished Kimaris had fled and the mundane police had turned up, again!" she was hoping with all her might that Toby's story fit hers at least his part of it or they were screwed, well she would be royally screwed as she would have lied to Lexus and then keeping the truth from him, yep something she didn't want Lexus to ever find out.

"Seemed you were telling the truth Mr Murdoch; lucky you. Now if that is all, i will leave you now. It is up to you three how you plan, from here you are on your own with this. Keep me up dated and if you are lucky you won't be seeing me for a very long time." With that he was gone, leaving an uncomfortable silence in his wake.

"Well that was enlightening" even Izzy couldn't tell if Logan was being sarcastic or not, Toby seemed to be having the same trouble also so he stayed quiet.

"Toby why did you lie for me?" this was whispered. It felt to Izzy that this one simple act proved to her that she could trust Toby, maybe not to fight with her just yet as he needed training to work with a team but to always have her back. Maybe he would fit perfectly in there duo, of course making it a trio but three was better than two right? She and Logan had been on their own for the last year and a half, and so far all they had done was piss the head demon off, maybe the next time they catch up with him they would finally beat him!

"You're my team mates and plus i don't trust him, well not with you anyway. I'll explain, when i was at The Towers they was this rumour going around that Lexus was spotted with a few lower demons; i know that in its self isn't that bad but the bad thing was, he wasn't killing them, heck he wasn't even fighting them! Normally i wouldn't believe that shit but i saw it with my own eyes. It gets even worse as well; he was showing the demons a picture of you Izzy. So when i found out i was going to join your team i vowed to myself that i would keep him away from you, haven't you noticed that since I've gotten here only me and Logan have given the reports? And no, Logan didn't know about Lexus, i was scared he would try and kill him and blow it all" Izzy was gob smacked; Lexus was talking to the demons about her? It just didn't make sense at all.

"Damn fucking right i would! No one touches my sister and gets away with it!" by this point Logan had jumped out of his chair, his magic was crackling all around him making the flames from the fire dance and almost consume the whole fireplace. In this one moment his vampire side had revealed his true rage, his fangs and nails had enlarged and his snarls were shaking his whole body; Toby who would later deny it with a vengeance, was utterly terrified.

Izzy was the complete opposite; she had seen him just as angry on many occasions and was utterly bored with it all. "Oh for fuck sake Logan, he's hasn't touched me and now i know do you really think he would get the chance? Just sit down and roll that male ego back in! Now the question is; what should we do now?"

"We'll the first thing we do is get the hell out of here! Lexus know's where we are now so it's not safe. We can stay in a hotel for a few days until i can buy a new place, the bigger question is; where do we go?" they was no way Logan was taking any chances. All they had to do was pack all their personal things and dump the rest; it wasn't as if they didn't have the money.

For the next hour the three new friends made their plans, all but one of those plans they would actually do. It was during that time when the urgent banging on their front door started.

Saturday 9th August 1995

Bradford, West Yorkshire- 11:30am

"Are you sure this is the right place Dora?"

Sirius asked as he leant against a tree at the side of a very busy road. Seemed the road was one of only three main roads into the city. Remus and Tonks were the closest to the run down house, both leaning over the garden wall trying to get a look into the building. Harry was stood to the side of him almost bouncing from his nerves and restlessness; Bill on the other hand looked like he had just been slapped and force fed poison as he just stared at the house.

"Don't call me DORA! And yes i am more than sure this is the correct place, maybe she ran away from where she was staying and doesn't have the money to do this place up?" Tonks wasn't as shocked as most of them were; she had seen runaways before and where they lived. This wasn't the first time and sadly she thought it won't be the last.

"Erm...guys, i hate to break the bad news but this place is just filled with dark magic. When you prod the wards, which i won't be able to break by the way, it gives this rancid taste, well i say taste but it's more like a feeling at the back of your throat? What, no one else tastes that?" Bill was gobsmacked, when he first heard what was going on he thought this was just a simple find her job but now, he was glad he decided to tag along. He would have dreaded to know what could have happened if they had just walked into this web of a ward.

"Can we just knock on the door and see if she's there?" Harry didn't know how much longer he could just stand here staring, if they were even a slightest chance she was in there then he needed to get in there.

"NO! Wait! The wards, Merlin i don't even think i could bare hearing what they could do never mind see it! Don't you get it? Their dark, which means their most likely dangerous, just give me a few minutes to see if they will attack us if we walk through" and with that Bill turned to the house and began his search of the wards. A few minutes later a slightly hesitant Bill turned back to them "Well they don't seem threatening; they just seem to repel anyone who has ill intent to the people who reside here. If we're careful we should be fine"

That was all Harry needed to here and he was off in a shot, banging on the door before the others even got into the garden.

A guy who was tall, at least 6ft 6 with spiky brown hair and a lot of face piercings ragged the door open so hard he nearly ripped it off its hinges, once noticing Harry his snarl left his face and he became closed off and looked utterly bored.

"We're not buying; no, i don't give a crap about your God and i couldn't careless how many children or animals are dying at this moment, so if you would kindly fuck off it would be much appreciated. Thank you" with that the door started to close.

"No! Wait! Please, we're looking for Elizabeth. Is she...does she live here? Please, i need to find her!" by the end Harry was shaking, well he thought he was shaking but it could have been the street, he would have been worried if he didn't feel sick.

"What's it to you four eyes?"The little kid had caught his attention with that one name, how do they know about Izzy? If random arse weirdo's who wear cloaks could find them, then it was defiantly time for them to move and fast.

"I'm Harry, Harry Potter. Elizabeth is my sister"

"Impossible! You're...he DIED! Who the fuck do you think you are?" Izzy had been standing just behind the lounge door listening but when that little brat had dared to mention her lost brother, well they was no force on the planet that would keep her from snapping the little brats neck!

"Elizabeth? Doe is that you?" Sirius was the first one to come back from his shock of seeing her. She was the spitting image of Lily, the shape of her eyes to her cute little button nose which had a silver ring through it!

"Look i don't know you and i really don't care why you're here, just leave me alone and DON'T talk about my family ever again! just go" all the fight had gone out of her, was it weird that she had just been thinking about them last night and now some weirdo's turning up pretending to be her lost brother? Either way she didn't care, she just wanted to forget about all that pain and concentrate on the job she had to do.

"What about if we can prove to you that this IS Harry? Please just give us 5 minutes, that's all we ask" Remus pleaded, unshed tears visible in his eyes. This was Elizabeth, the scent even though it was a bit off was defiantly her, and they had found her! Moony was purring and both man and beast knew that if they let her walk away, then this would be the last time they would see her, they couldn't, wouldn't let that happen!

Izzy just stood there eyeing the small group, her stare bleak as if she had given up hope. Her senses told her that what these people felt and said they really believed it; they actually believe this small lad with bright green eyes (mum and Harry's eyes flashed though her mind) was really Harry Potter! Without saying a word she nodded at Logan then walked back into the lounge leading the small group in with her.

Harry was on pins and needles, in the space of 12 hours he had gone through nearly all the different emotions. This lass in front of him was his sister, he knew it deep in his gut. He also knew she knew it to but was protecting herself from them. He didn't care about the tall lad with the blank stare or about the new blonde haired guy, who was sat just at the left of his sister looking like her own personal guard dog, all he cared about was getting her to realise that he wasn't dead and was really here with her. With a start he realised that Halloween night must have been harder for her then him, he didn't remember his parents but she would have done. She would have remembered the times they had tucked her up in bed or the times she was sick and they had comforted her. He didn't know if he could go on each day being able to remember all those lost moments like she seemed to do, it would eat him up inside. By this time each person was sat stiffly, an awkward tension seemed to have filled the room when he was lost in his thoughts. For some reason he knew Izzy hadn't taken her eyes off him since the second he walked into the room. Looking into her eyes now he thought he saw a flash of hope which was quickly hid.

"Well then Were-wolf; prove to her you are who you say you are. Your 5 minutes start now or i start taking things from you, if you know what i mean" Logan was pissed; it was bad enough finding a were-wolf and four wand carriers at his door but then they had the nerve to hit Izzy where it would hurt the most, well it would as soon as their lies came out and they would as everyone knew you could never lie to a Veela. Izzy would catch the lie before it even came out their mouths.

"Ok well, i have just one word for you..." Sirius was more than smug as he was saying this, he knew when he said the word she would remember and coming running to him "and the word is; Padfoot!" unfortunately for Sirius reality set in and all Izzy did was just stare blankly at him, in fact everybody just stared blankly at him.

"That's your one word wonder Sirius? Merlin help the poor lass if that is all you have got for her. Honestly sweetheart, you were lucky you got that, knowing him it could have been quite colourful. Now if it was Remus talking..." Tonks was enjoying the look of total cluelessness on her cousins' face when she was interrupted.

"Remy? Is it really you?" the barely there whisper was so quiet that Tonks only stopped talking due to everybody had stiffened up and had held their breaths whilst taking the oxygen out the room.

"It is cub, it's really me and that is really Harry. You stayed with him didn't you until uncle Sirius got there and you cried for a little while but we don't know what happened to you after, can you tell us love?" Remus by this point had tears running down his face and for once in his life he wasn't ashamed of them. He would have run straight over to her if she hadn't grabbed hold of the brown haired boys arm and just froze up.

"I...i just remember hurting so much, m-mum and d-dad was on the floor not moving and Harry was crying because he hurt his head, oh god it is you! Y-you have a scar right where it was bleeding!" at this Izzy had thrown herself at the crying boy-who-lived, squeezing him so tight he thought his head might pop off. All he could hear from his sister was "It's you, it's you" over and over through her tears.

Sirius was frozen. He never thought in his wildest dreams they would ever find her. He remembered the panic he felt that night after he had gotten to the house and saw the destruction of HIS family, only to be thrown into more panic when he realised Izzy had disappeared from her place next to Harry. That had been the finally straw, he seriously thought that rat had gotten past him or had hidden in the house somehow and stole her. That was the reason he had left Harry with Hagrid without a fight, he had to get Harry safe so he could go and save his little doe. Luckily or unluckily the rat didn't have her and the rest of his plan just slipped away from him and dooming him in the process. For years he fought with himself over if he had really seen her that night and now faced with the truth, his doe in plain sight; he just didn't know what to do or how to feel. He had gotten his surviving family back. Before he could move and miss more of the conversation Izzy had started talking again.

"After that big man turned up, i just remember thinking I'm so cold and i need to go home. I needed my m-mummy and d-daddy, i needed a cuddle. Next thing i know I'm all wet and shaking so much on the beach, i couldn't stop crying. I was shaking so much i didn't feel papa pick me up. Papa and ma took me to their house and dried me up, they started asking all these questions about what happened and where did i come from. You see, somehow i had ended up in Atlantis. Only the chosen can get there though and it was only when you're adults can you get there, you have to do loads of physical and mental tasks to reach it. Once they had gotten my name and Harry's name, they made some calls and soon they had found the house. They told me they were going to get Harry and bring some of our things back with them. I made them promise not to leave me like my m-mum and d-dad did. A little bit later they came back but they only had my things, they said Harry wasn't there anymore. I remember staying up crying, ma was crying with me and she never let me go. The next morning i woke up to this dick staring over the bed at me, since then I've always been scared of waking up" this made everyone laugh through their tears and even more so when Logan started chasing her around the room.

Once the two teens had settled back down, Sirius who up until this point hadn't said a word since the room had stared at him blankly. He silently got up from the couch and slowly made his way over to the crying but smiling girl, she had grabbed Harry's hand the second she had came back to the room. He didn't say a word until he was in front of her and the only sentence that left his mouth made Izzy break down into more tears and cling to her uncle "I've never stopped looking for you"

Saturday 9th August 1995

Bradford, West Yorkshire- 3:00pm

After all the tears had subsided and all the cuddles, the group had found their way into the kitchen and was now munching happily away on their late dinner; stopping to take part in the various small talks which had sprung up around the table. Harry and Izzy hadn't let go of each other not once since their heartfelt reunion, they was even eating one handed as they had refused to drop each other's hands. It was a simple question during one of the lulls in the conversations that changed every body's fated paths, and it was of course Sirius who shifted everything into the unknown.

"So Izzy are you ready to come home with your family?"

With that one simple question to most people, had Izzy nearly in tears again. How long had she waited and wished that she had her birth family back? Her heart felt like someone had grabbed a firm hold of it and refused to let go. Harry's hand had got tighter as the seconds ticked by. She knew the answer she and they longed for her to say but the truth was Toby and Logan needed her, more than what her family did. She had a job to do and if she didn't complete it, more innocent people would lose their lives.

"I...i can't go back with you, god i want to so bad but Toby and Logan need me. I could never turn my back on them and walk away"

"No Izzy you don't have to! Don't you see? They can come with us, its Sirius's house to start with so he can invite whoever he wants to move in there. Please guys don't do this, i just got her back! Please don't make me lose her again, i need her" by the end of Harry's speech his voice cracked a few times and the last bit he said more to himself than anyone else.

"Of course they can all come! That's what i meant when i said family! Merlin did you really think i would take you away from everyone you love? I could never do that!" Sirius really was scandalised, he might have not been the brightest wand in the box but he listened to every word Izzy had said, he had also listened to what she didn't say and it was clear as day to him that at least Logan and his family meant to her.

"That's really nice Mr Sirius but i don't think you quite understand what we are. Ok you might know what Izzy is but i don't think you know what we are and this could end really badly." Toby's calm and polite voice seemed to float through the room. His family had always taught him no matter who you was talking to, being polite and not harsh made people listen to you more than Logan's way of scaring the crap out of everyone.

"What do you mean Mr Murdoch what Izzy is? Is that the reason her scent is a bit different?" far from being scared Remus already knew Logan was a day vampire and Toby himself was a were-wolf but Izzy was another story. He had never smelt her scent before and he had met most creatures.

"Well, I'm what you will know as a Veela but what you don't know is they are two sorts of Veela. There's the blonde hair, guys drool over light Veela; as you can see I'm not one of them even though i have blonde hair. I'm a dark Veela known as a Bleeding Veela. Basically all that means is a have a special gift when it comes to blood magic; as you could probably feel, all the wards around the house and some in it feel a bit funny, that is because it's blood magic and you don't study it in England anymore so you are not used to sensing that magic but don't worry it's not dark as in evil dark!" for some reason she knew she had to get this point across. Yes she might be a dark creature but that doesn't make her evil. It was like saying all germs are bad because a few make you ill, what you forget about is all the good germs that help your body to function.

"Don't worry Izzy, I'm a were-wolf so i know exactly how you feel and plus what we fight for is not the light per say, it's for the equality and humanity not just for the light only. No matter what you or your friends are, you will all be welcome with open arms and yes i do know what you both are, i knew from the second i met you both. So i can say with certainty that yes, a few of the people we know might ask a lot of personal questions about your races but they wouldn't ever intentionally hurt you." He knew for a damn fact neither him, Moony or Sirius would put up with anyone who hurt them intentional or not.

"i...yes! We would love to go with you; this helps us out more than you know!" Izzy and Harry had the biggest smiles on their faces after she had declared that. They threw their arms around one another and started to cry once again but this time in pure joy.
