It's been three months since Harry left and everyone is walking on eggshells around me. Remus, Sirius, and Draco all blame me for Harry leaving. I even blame myself for Harry leaving. Harry. He cut off our link, I don't even know what he is feeling but at least I know he is alive.

The only trace I found of him was at our Veela ally in France. He stayed with them for one night before leaving and they haven't heard from him since. I have been miserable without Harry. I miss him and his quirks when it comes to our quarters. I miss him being here. I miss talking to him. I miss protecting him and now I don't even know where he is.

I hear a knock on my office door and wave my hand to open the door. Draco, Remus, and Sirius are all standing there.

"Can I help you with something?" I ask them.

"Fred and George found a trace of Harry in Brazil. It's only an hour old but you may be able to find him in the area. We are all coming with you. You will apologize for your behavior, and you will fucking fix this or so help me merlin, I will kill you myself. I want my best friend back." Draco tells me and I nod in understanding.

"The portkey is leaving in a few minutes. Don't worry about packing a bag." Remus tells me.

I nod, grabbing a box from my desk drawer and putting it in my pocket, and get up from my desk and walk over to them. Sirius holds out a ribbon and we all grab a hold of it. After being magically teleported to a secluded area, in the jungle, before Draco leads us to the area Harry's magic was in and we notice a campsite. A magically expanded tent for sleeping, another tent that has books and journals. We all sit and wait several hours until someone walks back to the campsite.

"Your wards are subpar." Draco quips and Harry chuckles.

"Maybe I wanted to be found." Harry smirks and hugs Draco.

"I'm sure. So what happened?" Draco asks.

"A wildcat attacked my ward stone. I just got back from dealing with the cat and fixing my ward stone. Trust the twins to find me and send you all here. Or was that your doing Draco?" Harry asks and Draco smirks.

"I see the time away has done your observational skills some good. And your physique some good too. You are ripped." Draco says and I finally look over at them.

Harry looks... good. Really good. His hair is shoulder length, he looks a little taller, though that may be the way he is holding himself. Draco wasn't wrong either, Harry definitely has been working out. And he is tanner. His aura is stronger too. Everything about him screams powerful. He is more attractive than ever. It takes everything in me to not just jump him right now. But I know I must be patient and wait to talk to him if he will talk to me. I don't want him to run again. It took three months to find him, and it was because of the wildlife affecting his magic. Who knows how long it will be the next time?

"Thank merlin you are still alive. You have any idea how worried Sirius and I were? The least you could have done was send us a letter or something." Remus fusses over Harry and he chuckles.

"I missed you guys too. I am sorry that I didn't tell you anything. I needed this though. I needed time alone. I knew that if I told you both I was leaving with no definite return date, you would have followed me. I needed me time to figure some stuff out. I needed time to be a teenager. To be a kid, to have no responsibilities and no one train or answer too. I needed to figure out who I am without everyone telling me who I am." Harry tells them, and I stare at him confusedly.

"Harry what do you mean?" Sirius asks him.

"You all have expectations of me. I love you both very much, but I am not James or Lily. I never knew them like you both did. I am not the lights savior. I was their tool and now I am the darks tool. I am a spy, and I am an orphan. I am no one because I didn't have the time to figure out who I am without you all. I went through life working as a double agent. I took this time to learn some different cultures and to figure out where I am going to go once this war is over. To figure out who I am, and I am not done figuring this out yet. I still have a long way to go. And once I figure this all out, I will return, but I won't be the same Harry that left. Now I believe Tom and I have to talk privately. I promise to send you letters from now on though, okay?" Harry asks them and they both nod.
