The next morning, or later that morning for some, found all the adult inhabitants of Hogwarts in the Great Hall waiting for the children to wake up and come down. It was already half past nine as the youths entered the hall. Normally they would have been down by eight. The adults guessed that Harry had been too emotionally distraught the last evening and that the children had stayed with him the night and this morning until he had been ready to come down with them.

"Good morning," all of them greeted though Harry only mumbled his greeting. He looked exhausted as if he had not slept well despite the fact that he had slept with his new family around him. Severus guessed it had to do with the fact that he now understood just what he had lost and that probably had left him having nightmares.

"Good morning," the adults greeted back and Sirius made a come hither gesture towards Harry. The boy made his way over to them and curled up in his godfather's lap.

"Bad night?" the man asked and Harry nodded numbly against his chest. "Nightmares?"

"Mmmh," Harry made. "Jas attacked me and killed Ed because he tried to stop him from doing that." The boy only spoke loud enough that Sirius and his two mates could hear because one of them was so close and the other two had enhanced hearing, the others were all too far away.

"You know that would never happen. All the others would keep them from doing it," Sirius murmured and run his hand through Harry's hair in a calming manner. The boy closed his eyes and relaxed against his godfather. "You should eat hun."

Harry nodded sleepily but moved no muscle to do just that. Instead he snuggled even closer and made himself home. The others smiled at that and only moments later they heard the boy's breathing even out as he slipped into sleep.

"How was the night?" Severus asked as he was sure Harry was asleep.

"Bad. He kept waking up, screaming. I think he saw his family dying over and over again," Hermione said and the others nodded silently.

"It was terrible," Theo continued barely audible. "We could see one of his dreams and half his family got murdered on a battlefield by magical vampires. They said that Voldemort ordered them to."

"That would actually explain everything if that was a vision Alice had. Thank you Theo for telling us," Remus said and then looked at the other adults as if to gauge their reactions. Severus and Albus nodded while Sirius was still doing his best to keep Harry sleeping without nightmares. The werewolf smiled slightly at that. Sirius had always been the only one besides Jasper and Edward that had been able to calm the young man that much.

"Children we have decided that it will be the best to leave the country for a while. See it as a vacation. It's been years that we had one with all the things that have been going on," Severus began but Hermine interrupted him.

"What?! And what about Harry and his family? He didn't tell us what exactly happened yesterday evening but he said that he lost his family and since all of us are well I guess he meant his vampire family. We have to find out what happened and have to help him!"

"As you will find, Hermione," Severus continued with a raised eyebrow, "that is exactly what we are about to do. We will move to Forks, Washington, where they live, and try to determine how much the vampires remember. Harry told us that he somehow erased the Cullen coven's memories of himself after seeing the vision of half of them dying. If Harry only erased his existence from them then they will still know me as Carlisle has been my sire since I came into my inheritance. They are my family too and this way we have a reason to be there. We can only hope that this is the case. Even if they will be mad at me for not keeping in touch for ten years."

"We will go there as the new family and you will go to school to keep up appearances. For that all of you will have to get up to date with muggle schooling so that you can start in the fall semester. Severus will write to Carlisle in the hopes that he remembers him and tell him that he plans on coming there with his family. That way we will know what they remember," Remus said. "Nobody will force you to come just tell us over the next few days your decision about the matter." The werewolf ended a bit uncertainly. But then he saw the glances that the children exchanged and the small nods all of them gave each other and again felt relieved that Harry had friends this good. They would do everything for him, even if it meant for the pure bloods that they had to learn ten years worth of muggle schooling in under a month. They would do it and because they did it for Harry they would succeed.

The adults all smiled as the youths nodded to them as one telling them that they all would come.

"Now we have to find a house big enough for all of us. We will need at least eight bedrooms," Sirius said from his place where he had watched the scene unfolding.

"Actually we only need seven bedrooms. We will continue to use one room together," the twins said in complete unison. "And we will only need one bed in that room. We're soul mates and together. We thought you should know now."

The other people in the room looked at them dumbfounded, having not expected that. The twins on the other hand fidgeted in their chairs, clearly uncomfortable with the silence of the others. They had hoped that the others would be able to accept them, Harry had, after all, but it did not seem this way.

"Maybe we should go, Fred," George murmured and tugged on his mate's hand to get him moving. "They're uncomfortable. We'll find somewhere else to go. Just let us keep in touch with Harry."

Fred finally got up, his heart sinking. He had hoped they would understand but the silence spoke loudly. It was better if they left.

"How long?" Remus called out as they nearly had reached the doors.

"For sure since our inheritance. We suspected it before that however," they answered just wanting to get away from their accusing stares.

"And you did not think it necessary to tell us?!" Hermione asked the same moment as Draco, Neville and Theo did. Luna only smiled knowingly.

"How come we never noticed?" Remus asked his mates. "We should have smelled it for Merlin's sake!"

The twins whirled around and now it was their turn to look at them dumbfounded.

"You are mad at us for not telling?" they asked surprised but also relieved as they all nodded. The others did not hate them for their relationship. They had no problem with it. It felt like a heavy weight had been lifted from their shoulders. Sure, Harry had told them to tell the others but they had feared rejection and had done their best to keep their relationship secret. Now however there was no need for that anymore at least in their family.

At least one good thing.

Well, since that was the pairing that made place number three with 101 of 261 votes in contrast to 85 and 80 for Fred and George respectively with someone from la push/twilight universe. Hope those of you that voted against it don't stop reading because of the side pairing. There will be nothing graphic about them, at least not in the main story. Some kissing maybe but that will be the most.

On another note. The other sidepairings will be decided as the chapters will go on. We'll start with Draco. The poll will be open 96 hours until Thursday 0:00 Middle European Summer time.

That will be the case with all the polls. 96 hours after the new chapter is up and after the next five chapters the other side pairings will be picked from which pair has the most votes in percent.

Hope you liked it. bye. Athena
