It was early the next morning as Severus woke, his two mates wrapped around him. He carefully untangled himself making sure that he did not wake the others. They needed sleep as all of them had been up most of the night discussing in bed how to proceed. On the other hand for him sleep wasn't a necessity. In contrast to the bitten vampires he could sleep as he was a born vampire but he did not actually need to sleep. But it was refreshing and even more so if he could sleep in the company of his mates.

Only minutes later he left their rooms and made his way upstairs through the castle. At first he would look after the children and then he would go and see the headmaster to talk to him and make sure that they would do everything that was necessary to make sure that Harry would get his vampire family back.

Sure, they were his family to, but the vampires had taught him the meaning of love and family. He had to get them back for his son.

As he opened the doors to the room the girls shared and said room was empty he felt a slight panic but then he reconsidered. Harry had been distraught the day before. They would most likely all be in one room to make sure that the boy knew that he was not alone. The children knew how to handle Harry when he was beside himself. It had happened before in the war after all.

So Severus was not surprised when he opened the door to the room that Harry shared with the twins and the three beds had been shoved together in the middle of the room with all the teens curled up together on it. Harry right in the middle of all of it. The boy was curled around an elephant and if Severus recognized it right then the stuffed animal was the one Harry had gotten from Edward for his first Christmas with them.

The boy clung to the animal as if it was the only thing keeping him grounded and probably it was. Severus sighed and closed the door quietly as to not disturb the children.

A short time later he stood before the headmaster's office, gave the password - "cranberrymincetoffee" – and made his way upstairs after the gargoyle had jumped to the side to let him through, all the time muttering about crazy headmasters and their love for all kinds of sweets. But at least this time the chances were slim that any student could guess the password as it had often happened in the past.

"Severus, my boy, do come in!" the overly cheerful voice of said headmaster greeted him as soon as he reached the door that led to the old man's office.

"Good morning, Albus," he greeted.

"And?" the old man practically seemed to glow, "do you have met any success?"

Severus scowled lightly at the man. He definitely was too cheerful for his own good and for the good of the people around him. Maybe they should set him on sugar withdrawal. Only Merlin knew how many sweets the man already had this morning and it was not even seven.

"More the contrary," Severus sighed. Damn he seemed to sigh a hell of a lot lately he just noticed. That had to stop and soon. "I can only tell you of more obstacles in our way to get the vampires remember. Harry really sealed away their memories but they are still there at least in Carlisle's mind. I only talked to him because he is after all the sire of the coven and I did not want to face the whole coven at the moment. I think Rosalie would have ripped me to pieces for not calling for such a long time and I only thought she would be mad for not calling for three years, but for them it would have been over ten years, nearly eleven as Harry erased all memories that had to do with magic since he came to them.

"Carlisle's memories are in a bag in the man's mindscape. I can't touch it and – maybe it is the best if you just watch my memories," the potions master said after a moment. Dumbledore nodded and summoned his pensive making Severus put the memory of the evening before into the device. The headmaster touched the swirling silver substance and vanished from the office.

"So Edward thinks he has found his mate. Well that complicates matters enormously," Albus said after he had come out of the memories of his potions master. "Maybe we should not tell Harry that when all of you go to Forks?"

Severus snorted lightly. Of course all of that was what they had already planned but it was quite bold from the man to assume this. But on the other hand…Dumbledore had known all of them for quite a long time, nearly all their lives and knew how they thought.

"I think it will be better and we should not tell the other children either. They could dissent and tell Harry what would lead to him not wanting to go at all. Best not let anyone but his mates and Albus know that he had already been to Forks. He might have to send Carlisle a message so that the vampire would not tell and neither the family.

"I think it would be the best we told Harry that for the Cullens we are only there as friends, at least the adults. We tell him that we have told the Cullens that we wanted a change of scenery after the war and I wanted to spend some time with my coven again. He and the others will be our children. Maybe we should enroll them in the high school. Draco will hate us but he will do everything for Harry. We should get a house there and stay for a while. Maybe Harry should even try to go in their heads and get himself to release their memories. I think he has the greatest chance to be able to do it. But at first we have to get him to comprehend that he is worth it. Damn, I hate those muggles that did this to him."

"Me too, Severus, me too. It is my fault and I will never forgive myself for it, but it's been done and we have to live with the consequences. At least he isn't like this the most of the time. For that we can all be glad and for the most of that we have to thank Carlisle and his family, Edward especially. But do you think they will even want their memories back?"
Severus snorted at that.

"Of course they do. You heard what happened after Harry left. I would have to be really wrong if Carlisle has not already told them of my visit and they have not yet tried to get their memories back themselves."

"Indeed, my boy, indeed," the old headmaster sighed. "Maybe we should organize your move?"

Jasper looked around his mind scape in slight wonder. He had not really worked in it consciously often and the immense library amazed him every time. In here were all the books he had ever read and it it were also all the memories of his family and the war and everything else. The books were sorted after their contents and the memories after their value to him.

Something that was missing in his mind scape. That was difficult since most of his mind scape was made up of books and he dearly hoped it was not a book that was missing but then he noticed the sitting area before the fire. He hoped that the missing thing was in this area and not somewhere else.

Well, he best got started to find what he was missing.

He went over to the sitting area and then looked around. Then he frowned he was quite sure that he had had a box with bookmarks sitting on the low table beside the reading chair like he had in his small library in the real world.

As he neared the table a small figure appeared in one of the chairs by the fire, curled up and with a book. One of his books.

"You don't need bookmarks," the boy said. "You can memorize the page number in the real world and here you don't even have use for them. Stop looking for them you don't need them."

"But maybe I want to use a bookmark, Harry," Jasper said. "After all you always used a bookmark when reading, Time Tot."

Jasper did not know where that had come from but he knew that he had just had gotten some new information about the boy they had called their brother. He liked Doctor Who. He liked Doctor Who so much that their nickname for him was from the series. He had no idea how that could help them but it was a beginning.

"I am only a Time Tot. You on the contrary are the Time Lord, big bro, you don't need a bookmark and that is why it is the best when you go now."

As Jasper looked up at his family he said, "Harry likes Doctor Who and uses bookmarks."

Rosalie stood in the hall that was her mind scape. It seemed to go on endlessly; full of pictures with family, friends and sometimes just random people she had memories with. Here at the beginning of the hall were all the pictures of her family and close friends like Albus and Tanya and her coven.

She looked around her. Something missing was difficult to find. Hopefully it was not a picture. But then her gaze fell to her collection of cameras. The oldest, her first one was not there. She breathed a sigh of relief. That had been easy. She went over to the cameras and tried to remember where her oldest had been.

"You could just take one of the newer ones, you know?" a hesitant voice said behind her. "They are better. They make better photos."

"But maybe I want to make photos again with my first one. It has a sentimental worth for me after all."

"I am sorry, but you won't find it, I won't let you find it," Harry said sadly and vanished.

Emmett sat on the couch in front of his multimedia center and stared at the photos on the wall above it. The wall was full of photos of his family and close friends. The less important memories in the movies and computer games.

Emmet looked tore himself from the photos to look around the room for something that was missing. On first glance there was nothing amiss but then he remembered that he had had a photo of his whole family standing on the side table and that was missing now.

He reached over and suddenly the photo was there standing right in front of him. It was of the coven, complete with Severus, Remus, Sirius and Harry.

Emmett frowned. Harry looked about the same as when they had seen him the last time three years ago, maybe a year younger, so why was Sirius with them? The man had betrayed Harry's parents, sold them out to Voldemort, and had killed thirteen people. The man was of the worst kind of people and he had pitied Severus and Remus the whole time that that man was their mate. He should not be there.

But what really got his attention was Harry. The boy seemed higly uneasy in Edward's arms. Maybe that was the reason he had erased their memories? Maybe he and Edward had had problems with each other? Maybe he had not felt well anymore in their family? Maybe it would be the best to let him go to make him happy?

"Maybe we should just let it go."
