Thank you to Life Riderthe1 for the consultation.

2031.

"Henry," Hope said quietly entering his room, Henry looked up from his notepad, as Hope walked to him and lay on his bed, Henry leaned back against his headboard his head turned to her,

"What is it Hopie?" He asked softly.

"Alaric is closing the School we won"t have a Home anymore." She mumbled,

"Hope," He said laying down next to her, their blue eyes connecting, "We have The compound we have any number of Homes around the World, we have the Homes of our Aunts and Uncles, we could buy a place together anywhere we wanted to be our Home."

"But this is were we have been since we were Seven through Mom's death and Dad's death this feels like Home and all our friends are here." Henry raised an eyebrow at her, "Okay fine, all my friends are here." Hope swallowed sadly.

"Do you love me more than your friends?" Henry asked.

"Of course I do," Hope cried out, "Your my Twin, My Brother, I would be lost without you, Henrik you are the one who has kept me together through all this, without you I would have lost myself probably turned off my Humanity for ever, you brought my humanity back, you have always been at my side."

"Hopie we are 19 now, we should have left this place at 17, made our way, but you wanted to help your friends and I wanted to be here for you, we are the Mikaelson twins and we don't abandon each other, but it's time for us to live our own lives Hope, and get the hell away from this School, I'm glad Ric is leaving as Headmaster and if I know one thing, now Josie has left and Lizzie is a heretic Caroline will come swanning back and take over the position as Headmistress, she has spent most of the twins formative years travelling the globe looking for a spell that was never needed much less found, Hope I can't wait to get the fuck out of here."

Hope looked at her Brother, "You have always hated it here haven't you, always kept to yourself, never engaged with anyone, never made friends, what would you have done if I wasn't your twin? there was no me? and you didn't have Marcel to talk to for hours everyday."

"I would have left the day Dad died and never looked back." Henrik declared jutting his chin out that reminded Hope of their Dad.

"You would have too, you are like Dad, make a decision and stick with it, and to hell with all the shit going on here, I...'m more soft and forgiving like Mom, I always felt I had to stay and fight... beside them." Hope said faltering.

"I know you are, and I love that about you and I would never have left without you, but we can now Hopie, it's time for us to leave." Henry enunciated.

Hope cuddled up to Henry, she always felt safe and protected by him, Henry was like her Dad, strong, tall, ruthless and could see through people lies and manipulations so easily, Hope usually gave the benefit of doubt about people and sometimes got hurt because of their actions,

"Hope," Henry said softly,

"What," Hope whispered back.

"I have worked out a way to bring Mom and Dad back." Henry whispered into her ear,

"Really? you have been working on it so long, do you think you have found a way finally?" Hope asked trying to not get too excited.

"I do, as soon as we leave I'll explain it, we will need Auntie Freya's help."

"Okay," She softly replied hugging her Brother tightly.

The following morning Henrik walked into Hope's room, he smiled to himself she was always a late sleeper and usually running behind time, and this morning was no exception, Hope glanced at him and scowled at his medium size travelling bag,
