AN: I know I've been thought dead by now, but I don't have the time nor the inspiration to continue this story at the moment because RL is being a bitch right now, so updates will be slow and few. Please bear with me. Right now I shouldn't write at all as I have a presentation coming up which I should prepare for.

Thank you so much for the reviews!

Forgotten Chapter Thirteen

Carlisle made his way into the house warily. He could smell Bella in the house and somehow there was suddenly something in him that protested against her being in the house at all. It was as if she didn't belong there and just now he realized it. But there was nothing he could do. She and Edward were in his son's room, talking quietly and listening to music. The rest of the family was in the living room.

Carlisle went over to his wife and kissed her cheek, before he went over to the kitchen table. The others followed, knowing that whenever Carlisle did this there was something the matter that concerned the whole family. Only Edward stayed in his room with Bella, but he listened to them as well as his girlfriend.

Carlisle laid out the letter from Severus for everyone to read.

"What happened to them?" Esme demanded as she had finished. Carlisle only shook his head.

"I don't know, but I don't like any of this one bit. The only thing I know is that they've been through a war," the oldest vampire of the coven said. "But we have to do as Severus asked if we want to get our family back together."

The other members of the family nodded and Carlisle quickly went up the stairs to get a piece of paper and then the most of the Cullens sat down and wrote an answer to the members of their coven.

.o0o.

Severus made his way into the rooms that the children occupied. He had just gotten an answer from his sire and he had to say that the Cullens played their role perfectly.

The children, of rather young adults, since none of them really was a child anymore, looked up from their various occupations as he entered. They saw the look on his face and knew that Severus had gotten an answer from the head of his coven.

"Well?" Hermione asked as she pulled Harry, who was laying in her lap reading, closer.

"Carlisle kindly ordered me to get my ass over there. Rose and Esme were a bit mad that they haven't heard from me for some time," Severus said, grinning at the memory of what had been written in the letter. "Rose decided to vent her anger a bit, but I know she only does because she cares."

Harry looked at him with big eyes. "So we are going?"

"Yes, we are," Severus nodded. "The school year starts next week in their school. You should be able to enter without problems. Now we only need to pack and move into the manor we bought."

As soon as the words were spoken the teens were a flurry of movement, all starting to pack. Only Harry didn't, but came over to Severus and hugged him hard.

"Thank you," he whispered so quietly that Severus would have missed it if not for his improved hearing.

"My pleasure, cub," Severus said, hugging back and kissing Harry's hair softly.

.o0o.

Harry swallowed nervously as he looked up at the building that housed his new school. Now that he was here, he did not want to go in there. He had no worries that he would lack knowledge in any of the subjects they had chosen for him as Hermione had made sure they were all up to date, but in that school was his family. The first real family he had known before he had gone to Hogwarts and had gotten himself a family there, too.

Furthermore was this where his mate was. He had no idea how he would react to seeing him and how Edward would. Would be seeing him be enough? Would it take Edward smelling him or would he not be recognized as a mate or anything else at all? He had no idea what to expect and it was eating him from the inside out.

"Come on, Harry," Hermione said softly. The teens had gone to school in two cars since they were so many.

Harry took a deep breath and got out of the car. He knew that he wouldn't cross paths with the Cullens until lunch. Severus had made sure of it, because they had no idea how they would react and it would be better if they had not to spend an entire lesson in the same room if the reaction was bad.

"Go in and win," Harry sighed as he grabbed his books. Somehow he feared this more than Voldemort.

.o0o.

Edward couldn't wait to see his lost little brother. There was a nagging feeling in the back of his mind that told him subconsciously that there was something he wasn't seeing, but he thought it wouldn't be important. The only important thing right now was getting his little brother back and Edward hoped that his brother would like his mate and that Harry maybe had found a mate of his own.

By now it was nearing lunchtime and Edward was bouncing on his chair. He had listened to the thoughts of the people around him all day to catch a glimpse of Severus' family and he had gotten some.

Some of the students already compared their families. The wizards were also very beautiful, all of them more than fit, but their muscle was not the one you got in the fitness studio, but doing real sport and, most likely, quite a lot of fighting as Edward thought.

"What is going on?" Bella, who was sitting next to Edward, asked.

"Nothing," the vampire said. "Just the nervousness of the others in the school is getting to me."

He had still not told Bella about their other coven members that were now in town. He had no idea why, but he just couldn't bring himself to do it.

"Because of the new students?" Bella asked and Edward nodded. "I've seen them. They are beautiful. I'd say you are related if I didn't knew better. Are they vampires as well?"

"No," Edward shook his head. "They aren't."

Bella shrugged as the bell rang. They packed their stuff and made their way to the cafeteria. They were under the first to arrive and got into line to get food that Edward wouldn't eat, and then went over to their usual table. They sat down facing the entrance to the cafeteria and continued their conversation quietly.

One after the other, the other Cullens arrived at the table. All of them glanced toward the doors more often than usually, but Bella didn't notice.

.o0o.

Harry was standing in front of the doors to the cafeteria, trying to motivate himself to go inside. Two heavy hands fell onto his shoulders and he looked up at the twins. They smiled at him encouragingly and Harry looked around and saw the rest of his family. They were with him. He could do that.

Harry took a deep breath and entered the cafeteria. His eyes automatically searched out his coven and he found them quickly. Only were they not alone. A girl was sitting with them and was just right now leaning over to speak to Edward, to speak to his mate, touching his mate.

Just then the eyes of all the Cullens came to rest on the spot where they were standing and Harry's gaze met Edwards. Harry somehow knew that the vampire thought the human next to him was his mate and he couldn't stay in the same room.

Harry shook off the twins' hands and fled.
