1. Two Gone, Two Missing, and Two Alive

Hermione sat in Auror headquarters. She wasn’t exactly an Auror though. She worked as a detective, which required some research but nothing she hadn’t done before. She heard a knock on the door.

“Come in.” She called. The door open the Remus Lupin wheeled in. Remus had lost the nerves in his leg, therefore not allowing him to walk. So he now stayed in a wheel chair. Remus handed her a file.

“This just in.” He told her.

“I’ll look at it later.” She said, Remus looked at her with sadness in his eyes.

“Look at it now.” He told her. Hermione looked at Remus strangely and opened the file.

“Mr. And Mrs. Ronald Weasley killed in an attack. How did we not know about this?”

“It happened mere minutes ago, Harry is already there with some Aurors. He’s furious, never seen him so angry since Voldemort tried to send the killing curse at you during the final battle.” Remus told her.

“Do we know who killed them?”

“Bellatrix.” A new voice said, it was Harry’s voice he entered the room, his face was covered in ash and his lip was bleeding. “He slammed a rock on Hermione’s desk. Hermione picked it up and saw ‘I killed another loved one Potter.’ Was written on it.

“Merlin.” Hermione said. “Another?” She asked in confusion.

“Sirius, Ron, Luna.”

“What about there children?”

“Issac is at Hogwarts and Hallie was at the Longbottoms when it happened.”

“The Twins?”

“We didn’t find their bodies, Rex would have tried to save Danny and anyone he could, they probably retreated to the forest, there is a search party out for them.” Harry sat as he sat down. Hermione wet a towel and on his lip. She put her wand pointed to his lip. “Sano Vulnus” Hermione said a basic healing spell she’d used many times before.

“I’m going to need more proof then just this, but I’ll try to use it.” Hermione said.

“Why this sudden attack?” Remus asked.

“Maybe Voldemort has a processor.” Hermione said. “I don’t think Bellatrix would come out like this, she narrowly missed Azkaban last time.” Hermione said. Harry looked angry at this, Hermione frowned. “And your not to go after her.” Hermione told Harry.

“Hell with that Hermione, I will find that bitch and destroy her.”

“Harry, I am ordering you not to do this, I don’t want to see your revenge scheme, last time she nearly killed you!”

“I don’t care.” He banged his hand on the desk, “I’ll kill her with my bare hands if I have to.”

“Professor!” Hermione looked to Remus and motioned to Harry. Although it had been five years since they’d graduated, and even longer since they’d had him as their Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, they often called him Professor in times of need. As Harry godfather (Who he’d gained custody over near the end of sixth year) and Hermione surrogate father (after Hermione’s father was killed by Voldemort in a muggle attack, Hermione often relied on him as her father.)

“I’m not getting in the middle, but Harry just remember that revenge isn’t everything.” Remus said and wheeled out of the room. Hermione looked at him with narrowed eyes.

“You can’t go on a hunt for her.” Harry was about to walk out the door when Hermioen wiped out her wand. “Termino!” The spell closed and lcoked the door.

“Alohmora.” Harry said.

“Termino.” Hermione repeated. Harry turned to face her.

“Hermione, I am going to get revenge in an official manner.”

“Excuse me Ms. Granger?” Came a voice out of her otter figurine.

“Yes?”

“Mrs. Longbottom is down here, but she doesn’t have an-“ Hermione cut her off,

“Send her in.” Moments later Ginny Longbottom came in with what looked to be a confused Hallie.

“Where’s Mummy and Daddy?” She asked. Hermione frowned.

“They’re asleep right now.” Hermione told her, and saw a tear go down Ginny’s face.

“You want to see Uncle Lupin?” Harry asked her, while kneeling down. She nodded eagerly, and Harry brought her to his office. Ginny broke down into sobs. Hermione took her into a hug when Harry came back, he hugged her too.

“I can’t believe he’s gone, and Luna.” Ginny said. “I lost my brother and my friend.” Ginny subbed into Hermione’s shoulder. “Sorry I got your shoulder wet.” Hermione waved her hand dismissive-ly. And pointed her wand at her shoulder. “Sicco. See, now worries.” Hermione told her. “God I can’t believe this.” Ginny said and took a seat. “Who’s assigned to it?” Ginny asked.

“I am.” Hermione told her.

“My squad has been assigned to it too. We know it was Bellatrix though.” Harry told her.

“We do not know it was her, we merely think it is her.” Hermione corrected him. Harry glared at her and she frowned.

“I thought she ran to American to escape Azkaban.” Ginny said.

“She did.” Hermione said. “Stupid Americans won’t let us come in to search for her.” Hermione crossed her arms and sat down.

“What have you heard so far?” Ginny asked them.

“It was fire.” Harry said. “She lit the damn house on fire!” Harry hit the wall, Ginny jumped and Hermione frowned, you see Hermione was used to this, whenever some old death eater came a round - which happened quite often for the past eleven years - Harry would get all worked up when he couldn’t solve it and hit her wall. “Hannah took control of the squad on the serch for the twins.” Harry told Ginny. “I had to bring Hermione the evidence.” Harry motioned to the rock, which Ginny observed.

“So they are trying to get to you again?” Ginny asked Harry.

“I don’t know.” Harry told her. A packet of paper appeared onto Hermione’s desk.

“What is it?” Harry asked. Ginny seemed to be the only one who knew.

“The will.” Ginny said.

“I don’t deal with wills.” Hermione said.

“Anyone who is mentioned in the will gets a copy.” Almost as soon as she said that a packet appeared in front of Harry and Ginny also. Hermione’s hand trembled as she opened it.

I will my four children to my two friends Harry and Hermione. Was written in Ron’s handwriting.

“Oh Merlin.” Hermione said and looked at Harry who seemed to be shocked too.

“Well then.” Harry said. “Are we both allowed to have custody over them, we’re not even a couple.” Harry said.

“You both live together.” Ginny said.

“We’ll have to ask Remus and Kellie if it’s alright.” Hermione said.

“I don’t see Kellie having a problem with it.” Harry said, talking about Remus’ wife, Kellie Nightstorm-Lupin.

After work hours Remus, Harry and Hermione apparated into the living room, where Kellie was typing something using a Indictiumalo, which was the wizards computer. Kellie was restricted somewhat as to what she could do because she was blind, she’d turned blind when They’re was an attack on her and Remus after the war by a death eater that hadn’t yet been caught.

“We’re home.” Remus spoke. Kellie smiled and turned to them.

“So how was work you three?” Kellie asked. Hermione bit her lip, and Kellie frowned. “What happened?” kellie asked. Harry could sware that Kellie could see, but there were times where you knew she couldn’t see. Kellie knew where everyone was in the house all the time, she said that when one sense goes your other become better, she said hearing was all she relied on anymore.

“Ron and Luna were murdered.” Harry said. Kellie frowned. “And we’ve seen the will.”

“What is it?”

“Hermione and I were both willed their children, we were wondering if you’d object to them moving in here.”

“Of coarse not, I love children, you know that Harry, they walk so loudly, I’ll always know where they are.”

“Thanks Kellie.” Harry said.

“Anytime.” She told Harry. Her face followed Where Remus wheeled next to her, he got out of the wheel chair and sat next to her Kellie rested her head on his shoulder. Harry walked out of the room, with Hermione to the kitchen. Hermione sat at the table while Harry made dinner.

“You know I wonder if I’ll ever me in love like them.” Hermione said.

“You mean blind with a husband in a wheelchair?” Harry asked.

“No, not that. I mean so in love, their like soul mates. They never fight.” Hermione sighed.

“Not anymore, before they were married they fought like you and Ron.” Hermione and Harry became silent for awhile.

“Still, it’s just, do you think you’ll ever find someone like that?”

“Maybe, one day. Right now I’m fine being single.”

“We are twenty eight Harry! Most of our friends are already married, and neither of us are even dating!” Hermione said.

“True, but most of our friends aren’t going to have four children, like us.” Hermione snapped a towel rag at his head.

“Hey!” Harry said and handed her a bowl of pasta. “And one day we’ll get married, with our work we don’t see many people, except for people going to azkaban.” Harry said.

“I see dead people.” Hermione said.

“Yeah, why is it you wanted to be a detective again?” Harry asked Hermione.

“It’s like Helping you in our Hogwarts days.” Hermione told Harry as they heard the fire blaze up and out came Issac.

“Issac what on earth are you doing here?” Hermione scolded him.

“What’s this!” He yelled at them showing them the Daily Prophet. The headlines read, Two Dead, Two Missing and Two Alive and well. Hermione frowned. Harry brought Issac into the kitchen.

“Issac, today their was an attack at your house, your Mum and Dad died.” harry told him. Harry gulped before continuing. “Rex and Danny are currently missing. Hallie is at the Longbottoms, but she’s coming here tomorrow, I don’t know if you aware of this, but Hermione and I were willed the four of you, so this will be your new home.”

“NO! Mum and Dad aren’t dead! They can’t be.” Issac ran to the fire and yelled, “Weasley’s Haven.” Harry sighed and apparated to Ron and Luna’s burnt house. Issac was crying in the middle of what used to be the living room. Harry walked over to him and put a hand on his back. Issac’s usually vibrant red hair was now covered in ash from all the flooing. His big blue eyes were brimmed with tears. He hugged Harry and sobbed.

“Why did they leave?”

“They didn’t have a choice Issac.”

“I want my Mum and Dad.”

“I know, believe me I know.” Harry told Issac.

2. The Murder Scene

A/n: A lot of people reviewed saying Harry and Hermione didn’t react strong enough, but there is a reason for that, believe me there is a reason.

Oh and every time there is a, --- that’s just going into either the past to show you the whole scene or going back to present time.

~*~*~

The Next day Issac woke up in a room he wasn’t familiar with as soon as he walked out of the room he recognized the hallways as Remus, Kellie, Harry and Hermione’s house. Issac walked down stairs and saw Kellie.

“‘Lo Issac.”

“That’s really freaky you know your supposed to be blind right?” Kellie just chuckled.

“Morning Issac.” Hermione said. “Dumbledore said your allowed to stay here for a week but then you have to go back to Hogwarts.”

“Um, Hermione when are you having the fu-funeral?” Issac asked.

“Thursday, your grandparents wanted to make all the arrangements so I don’t know anything about it yet.” Hermione told him. Issac nodded. “Hallie will be here after I come home from work, I’m going to try and come here for Lunch, okay?”

“Yeah.” he mumbled.

“Don’t be too much trouble for Kellie.”

“Oh nonsense, no body’s too much trouble for me, remember I had to deal with the marauders when I was kid.” Hermione smiled and apparated out.

Hermione changed her clothes in the bathroom, she had to go to the crime scene today. Wore black pants and a black turtle neck. She grabbed her robes in which had an Orange wand on it, indicating to any wizard she came across she was a detective. She grabbed her suitcase and headed out.

“Sandra, I’ll be out for the day, I’m visiting the crime scene, if Issac Weasley or the Longbottoms call contact Harry, if it’s anyone else you can just write up a message for me.” The secretary nodded. Hermione figured this had to be one of the hardest parts of her job.

As Hermione walked up to the house she put on her gloves. The house was basically burnt to the ground. Hermione wasn’t sure he’d get everything she needed from the house which scared her, it meant she’d have to observe the bodies, an right now just looking at the house brought tears to her eyes. Hermione walked through the rummage that used to be the hallway and walked into the work den, which was where the fire was supposed to have had originated. She saw a match and picked it up and put it in a blue gel. The name ‘Trix’ Floated above it. Hermione sighed, why couldn’t it have given me a ful name not some stupid nickname. She looked to grounf for any more clues, she saw three pairs of footsteps that weren’t her. One had zigzag soles, another with straight lines and the last one looked like a high heel imprint. Hermione took out her wand and said “Spectaculum Dispono” The High heels glowed a vibrant blue color to the desk. The Zigzags abruptly started to glow a vibrant red color and next to the high heels was wand that was snapped in half. Hermione recognized it as Ron’s wand. Hermione wiped away a tear that reached her cheek. She wiped it away.

---

Bellatrix walked into the den. “Lun-“ Ron stopped as he looked up and saw Bellatrix. He grabbed his wand and walked up to her. “Leave” he growled pointing his wand at her. She laughed.

“No. Expellarimus.” She said, and snapped his wand in half. Just as he was about to punch her, she said. “Reducto!”, which threw him into the wall. “Oh, Potter isn’t going be too happy with me now is he?”

---

Hermione looked at the straight lined prints that had abruptly started glowing going towards the high-heels behind the high-heels backs and seemed to have made the high-heels falter in their balance. The high-heels then seems to drag the straight lines to the wall, where straight lines lost their wand. Hermione recognized the wand as Luna’s and put it with Ron’s broken wand in the suit case.

---

Luna heard some commotion in the work den and saw Ron get thrown into the wall. Luna threw a spell at the woman whom she recognized as the one who killed Harry’s god father. Bellatrix almost fell to the ground but she caught herself and turned around to Luna she sneered and punched her then, grabbed her by the neck and dragged her against the other wall. Bellatrix put her wand to Luna’s stomach and yelled, “Crucio!” Luna screamed in pain dropping her wand in the process.

---

Hermione noticed the Zigzags were finally moving up behind the heels, very quickly. The heels turned around and they did something to fall on the floor where the match had been found, the hells then walked out of the room.

---

Ron got up enraged that someone hurt Luna. Bellatrix heard his footsteps making her turn around only to get punched, and she scratched him in return on the cheek. She grabbed a match on his desk, he yanked her arm away from it, but it was too late she had grabbed the match they both fell down. Bellatrix stunned him, it would ware out in a short while so she lit the match and lit it on fire, She locked the door and slammed it shut.

---

Hermione took notes and pictures of the shoes. She touched the spot where Ron’s body had been found and she cried. Her whole body shook as she cried. She felt a hand on her should and looked up to see Harry she abruptly hugged him. Harry stroked her hair feeling and silently cried, burying his face into her hair, so no one would see the tears.

“Come on Hermione, it’s lunch time.” Harry said. Hermione nodded and wiped the tears from her face. Hermione’s eyes lingered on the traditional Weasley clock, Ron’s and Luna’s faces had disappeared, but It still seemed to work as it showed Hallie was at the Longbottoms and Issac was at the Lupin-Potter-Granger’s, her eye looked at the twins which showed them to be at Weasley Haven.

“Weasley Haven?” Hermione questioned aloud, Harry looked at where she was looking.

“That’s what we say to floo here, does that mean their in here.”

“No, because there is a home, what that mean?”

“They went to a safe haven, I’ll stop at the burrow and see what it is.” Harry told her. “Why don’t you go home and rest.”

“I can deal with it!” Hermione argued.

“Hermione.” Harry said gently. “Please, just let me deal with it.” Hermione reluctantly nodded. They apparated to the house . Hermione saw Issac eating grilled cheese.

“How’d you-“

“Aunt Kellie made it for me!” Issac said. “Oh An Aunt Ginny called, she said she’d drop Hallie off here at seven.”

“Thanks Issac.” Hermione said. Looking at what was most likely the closet thing to a twin of Ron. His red unruly hair (although not as unruly as Harry’s) and his bright blue eyes. He was quite tall for his age, giving some third years a run for their money. Hermione walked out of the room as she was quite close to tears again.

“What wrong?’ Issac asked Harry.

“Hermione is emotionally dealing with the incident today.”

“What about you?”

“I did it yesterday.”

“Were you like me, breaking down at the house?”

“No, not exactly, when people die that are close to me, I get angry and I tend to get violent with things, such as my room yesterday.”

“Oh.”

“Yes, I should get to cleaning that mess at some point.” Harry said aloud, talking to himself.

“Hermione is staying home for the rest fo the day, while I have to see your grandparents to ask them about something that Hermione found. I’ll see you at seven.” Harry said and he apparated out of the house. And to the burrow.

~*~*~

A/N: I hope you guys like that chapter! Wow seven reviews for the first chapter! Awesome, I’m so glad you guys liked it! I know I didn’t show too much emotion last chapter, but that’s because I wnated to show you how Hermione reacts at the scene and that was put in this chapter so I had to hold off on the reaction on her part, and don’t worry you’ll see what harry did to his room in a chapter or two. Spells: Spectaculum Dispono (Show order). Review please! –Jessie

3. The Twins

Harry apparated into the living room of the burrow. He saw Bill, Charlie and George sitting on the couch, the three of them looked up at him.

“Hello Harry.” Bill said.

“Hey Bill, is your mum or dad around?” Harry asked.

“Harry! What brings you here, Ginny is alright isn’t she?”

“Yes Ginny is fine.”

“How about the twins, any leads?” Molly asked, her worry rising.

“Yes, umm, besides the house name, what is Weasley Haven?” Harry asked. Molly looked at Harry.

“The Clock, does it say that?”

“Yes.” Harry confirmed, and Molly let out a sigh of relief along with Bill, Charlie and George.

~*~*~

Harry was following Arthur and Bill who seemed to know where they were going, of coarse they had been doing this for about an hour or so, and Harry was starting to worry, that they weren’t exactly sure where the haven was. Harry looked at his muggle watch which said seven o’clock, he had told Issac he would be home now, and Hermione would most likely be worried. Harry sighed, they’d better find this haven soon.

“Here it is!” Arthur said. He tapped a branch three in a 1-1&2 rhythm and a part of the tree moved showing a staircase, Bill went in first, then Arthur and Harry followed them both. Harry felt de ja vu of going to the shrieking shack in his third year trying to save Ron. When the staircase stopped they had entered to a very nice, warm and homey room. Danny was asleep on the couch while Rex seemed to be in a trance looking at the burning fire in the fire place.

“Where’s Mum and Dad?” Rex said, his hand balled up into a fist. “Where’s Mum and Dad!?” He said getting angrier. Arthur took a breath and kneeled down next to Rex. “Rex, calm down. Now what do you remember?”

“Fire, lots of fire, when Mum heard a noise in the work den, she told me if I heard any more noises to get out, I didn’t listen. I was going to leave my room to get my dinner, when I saw a fire downstairs.” Rex said, tears streaming down his face. “Are they dead?”

“Did you see anyone Rex?”

“ARE THEY DEAD!?” Rex yelled waking up Danny.

“Grandpop!” Danny said, then he looked confused. “Where’s Mum and Dad?” Harry took a breath and sat down in front of the two boys.

“Rex, Danny.” He said looking at each in turn. “Someone lit your house on fire, there were signs of a struggle, but your mother and father...” Harry gulped trying to hide the tears behind his eyes. “died.”

“NO!” Rex yelled. “No they aren’t dead! My parents don’t die! They live!” Rex said punching Harry’s chest. Harry didn’t mind as Rex was still only nine years old, and didn’t punch hard. Rex got tired of using Harry as a punching bag and broke down. Harry hugged him. Danny reaction wasn’t quite as violent as Rex’s, nor was it as unbelieving as Issac’s. He just silently cried with his head covered by he’s knees. Arthur comforted him.

“Are-are we going to your house to stay?” Danny asked Arthur, trying to stop his crying.

“Not exactly, your father actually gave all four of you to Harry and Hermione.”

“If you want to stay with your Grandfather for a couple days, you can Danny. Issac and Hallie are at my house at the moment.”

“I want to stay with Grandpop.” Danny said, Harry nodded. Harry was about to ask Rex, when he found he was already asleep.

“Bring him with you, he’ll need to adjust at some point anyhow.” Harry nodded, and took a portkey home.

A/N: This is a little shorter then the other chapters, that’s because I just wanted to show you the twins this chapter. Okay now since Hallie is only four, I’m not really showing a reaction to the death of her parents, because I don’t think she will even understand it. Any objections? Hope you guys liked this chapter, thanks so much for another seven reviews! –Jessie

4. A New Mum and Dad

Chapter Four: A New Mum and Dad

Hallie was jumping in her crib, waiting for someone to come get her. “MUMMY!” She yelled, getting impatient. She tilted her head when Aunt Hermione came into the room and took her out of the crib. Hallie then started bouncing from one foot to the other. “Oo.” Hallie said, still not being able to say ‘L’ quite as well as the other letters in the alphabet. Hermione brought her in front of the bathroom. Hallie walked into the bathroom. “too tael” Hallie said about the toilet. Hermione picked her up and put her on the toilet and when Hallie finished she helped Hallie wash her hands.

“W’ere Mummy?” Hallie asked.

“She’s not- she’s.” Hermione sighed she wasn’t sure of how to explain this to Hallie. She was still quite young and most likely didn’t understand death. “She’s not here right, now. Okay?” Hallie nodded but she still looked quite curious. “Are you hungry?”Hermione asked.

“Yes.”

“Okay how about I go make you some breakfast?” Hermione asked. Hallie’s eyes widened.

“NO!” She yelled and covered her mouth. Hermione scowled. And heard someone chuckle. She saw Harry behind her.

“How about I make you breakfast Hallie.” Hallie nodded at Harry.

“I’m not that bad.” Hermione said and folded her arms.

“Of coarse not.” Harry said with a smirk. After Harry had finished breakfast mostly everyone was in the kitchen, but Remus.

“Kellie where is Remus, he’s got to eat before work.” Hermione said.

“He’s taken off today he has a appointment at Saint Mundos.” Kellie informed her.

“Oh okay then.” Hermione said as she finished her breakfast.

“Looks like it’s time to go.” Harry said. Hermione nodded.

“You three be good for Kellie, alright.” They all nodded. Harry and Hermione apparated to work. And went to their mail boxes.

“Hallie was asking about Luna and Ron, I don’t know how to tell her...” Hermione said, and sniffed as she felt tears coming on.

“We’re going to have to tell her before Thursday.”

“That only gives us two days.”

“I know. Why don’t we try to explain it to her tonight.” Harry suggested.

“Yes, I suppose that’s a good idea.” Hermione agreed when Antonio the head of the Auror and Crime investigation office came up to them.

“There is a mob outside wanting to talk to you.” He told them.

“What?” Hermione asked.

“Words gotten out, that you both have custody over the children of the Weasley’s and Rita has started more rumors about your relationship.”

“I hate her.” Hermione growled. Harry sighed and re adjusted his glasses.

“What do they want?”

“Interviews, answers, the usual.” He told them.

“Fine, I’ll go. Hermione, stay in here when I come back I’ll tell you what I’ve told them.” Hermione nodded.

“I’ll be in my office.” Hermione told him. Hermione walked into her office and saw a whole stack of mail. “Oh you have got to be kidding me.” Hermione sighed, she looked for any offical seals for the mail she knew she had to look through, which narrowed her mail down to five letters, two from the auror agency, one from the minister, one from the charms lab and another from the potions lab.

Dear Miss Granger,

The Auror agency would like to tell you that we are assigning you a partner for your case on the Weasley’s. Lavender Brown will assist you on your investigation. She is from the Divination Department and has just finished her SAIA (Standard Auror Investigation Assessment.). She passed the test with a score of 570, which is nothing compared to your 700 score but she is one of the best in her class.

Sincerely,

Antonio Cortellini

Hermione was surprised to see that Lavender had going the law enforcement side of the ministry. Hermione wasn’t too surprised in her score, she was in the DA when they were back in Hogwarts.

Dear Miss Granger,

The samples you gave us to send to the Charms and Potions labs were delivered as soon as possible and the Charms Lab said they’d like you to come in, and they would sen you a letter with more details.

Sincerely,

Crystal Boot

Hermione nodded and opened the one from the charms lab.

Dera Miss Granger,

We’d like you to come into the Law Enforcement’s Charms lab as soon as possibly, feel free to come in at whatever time is most convenient for you.

Hermione nodded, she’d go down there later. Harry walked into the room. “I told them we weren’t dating.”

“Harry, you know that the headlines tomorrow are going to read Harry Potter In Denial of a Romance with Hermione Granger.”

“We’ve had worse, haven’t we?”

“I suppose that’s true.”

“Antonio said we should take the day off, until the mob and rumors cool down.” Harry said. Hermione nodded and they apparated back home where Hallie was crying with Kellie comforting her, and Issac was yelling at Rex.

“Why did you say that to her!” Issac yelled at Rex.

“It’s the truth! If we have to deal with it so does she!” Rex said.

“What’s going on?” Hermione asked, taking on the mother role. Issac glared at Rex and turned to Harry and Hermione.

“Rex told Hallie Mum and Dad died on purpose, because they didn’t want her.” Issac said. Hallie was still slightly whimpering in Kellie’s arms.

“Rex to your room.” Hermione ordered him.

“No this isn’t my house, your not my mum! And I’ll never have a Mum again!” Rex yelled and ran out of the house.

“I’ll go get him.” Harry told Hermione. Who nodded rubbing her temples, then she took Hallie out of Kellie’s arms.

“What Rex said wasn’t rue Hallie. Your parents loved you very much. They didn’t die on purpose, it was someone else’s fault.”

“Who?”

“A woman, we’re still researching it, don’t worry. Harry and I are your new Dad and Mum and we’ll treat you just like your parents did.” Hermione told her.

“Will I ever see them again?” Hallie asked.

“When you get old, you’ll meet up with them in heaven.”

“Will they remember me?”

“Of coarse, they watch you form above every single moment. They love you and your brothers.” Hallie gave a weak smile.

Outside Harry had caught Rex before he could get anywhere. “Rex stop this!” Harry said as Rex struggled to get free of Harry’s grasp.

“NO! I don’t have to listen to you! Your not my father!”

“Rex would you stop fighting my grip, I don’t want you to hurt yourself. And now, I am your father. Your father and your mum wanted it that way.” Harry told him.

“NO! NO! They are just hiding, the fire, it wasn’t real, it’s a dream! It’s a dream!” Rex finally stopped struggling and cried. Harry pet his back.

“Come on Rex, you could do with some lunch.” Harry said and they walked back to the house.
