Taken From the Past || Scorbus

Ch. 14

Chapter 14: The Aftermath

After a rather unpleasant visit to the hospital, all three of the kidnapped children were back at Grimmuald Place, happily recovering. After the traumatic experience, all three of the siblings were closer than ever; Scorpius and Albus never let each other go.

Harry, Ginny, Hermione, Ron, and Draco all decided that it was wise to leave as soon as Lily was strong enough to make the trip home to 2022. Seeing as it has been a week,  Lily was stronger than she was when she was rescued; same her brother James.

"Boy what did I tell you!" Lucius Malfoy yelled in annoyance to his grandson. Scorpius cowered and whimpered.

"I'm s-sorry sir," the teenager whimpered.

"Do. Not. Apologize! Malfoy men never apologize!" The older man screamed in anger as his grandson cleaned the cup that he had dropped. Scorpius tried getting out of range from the lunatic, but he didn't get far. A hard slap landed on his shoulder, then another in his face-

"Scorpius!" Someone called out, but it wasn't his grandfather,

"Scorpius!" Albus cried again as he shock his boyfriend's shoulders. The pair were laying in Albus's bed, (which they weren't allowed to do but they didn't care,) and Scorpius was shaking and crying out in his sleep. Just then the door slammed opened revealing a certain Draco Malfoy clad in only a pair of sweatpants and a t-shirt. Franticly, Draco ran over to his son.

"What happened?" He asked quickly, taking a calming draught out of his pocket.

"I don't know, I heard him start crying in his sleep so I tried to wake him up, but I couldn't," Albus said as he watched Draco massage the potion down his throat, making sure that Scorpius didn't choke.

Immediately, Scorpius's cries ceased and he fell into a peaceful slumber once more. Draco and Albus let out  sighs of relief.

"He was having a nightmare," Draco said, rubbing his forehead and leaving the room, "Why don't you start getting your things together and keep an eye on Scorp' , we're leaving today,"

Albus grinned. He couldn't wait. But then he would have to leave everyone that lived in this time... Would he be able to do that?

He began packing to little belongs that were his in this time then laid back in bed with Scorpius. Scorpius coughed, then opened his dark eyes.

"Good morning sleeping beauty," Scorpius coughed, sitting up and rubbing his eyes tiredly.

Scorpius knew he would never forget what had happened over at Malfoy mansion; he had remembered the dream. Of course he had, he had it every night.

"Good morning love," Albus greeted, lifting his face up to kiss his boyfriend gently. Scorpius smiled and slowly got up from the bed. Did he remember the dream? Albus thought.

"We're leaving today right?" Scorpius asked as he grabbed some clothes to go take a shower. Albus nodded glumly. Scorpius noticed how sad Albus was and went and hugged him, "Hey, sure we'll never see them in person, but we could always go to the IIWW Memorial, ( 2nd Wizarding War,) at Hogwarts to see them,"

They split and Abus smiled softly up at Scorpius, "I would like that,"

"Then we'll go when we go back to school,"

Suddenly Albus had a scowl on his face.

"Ugh school!" Albus moaned, "We probably have so much work to make up! Uncle Neville has probably assigned a mountain of work!" Albus complained, thinking about his godfather,

Scorpius laughed.

"Yeah that's probably the case. But you can probably get out of it because you are his godson," Scorpius said and smirked. Albus stared incredulously at his boyfriend.

"No he would probably expect it to be done in a night that is," Albus muttered. Scorpius laughed softly at Albus's scowl and pecked him on the lips, finally exiting the room to go and take a shower.

After everyone had packed and eaten breakfast, all of the people from 2022 stood in the sitting room of Grimmuald place.

Harry had an arm around his wife, trying to clear his face of all emotion. He knew that he couldn't save them.... But he wanted to so bad.

Teddy could have parents.

Harry himself could have some parental figures.

And all that had died would live full, happy lives after the war.

But Harry knew that couldn't happen. He had to erase their memories.

"So I guess this is good bye then eh?" Teddy sad softly, looking up at his parents. Tonks nodded tearfully and ran to her son, (nearly tripping over the corner of a rug,) and he caught her in his arms, both hugging like they would never let go.

"You're going to do great things in the future, I know it Teddy.... I love you," Tonks said, a steady stream of tears coming from her eyes.

"T-thanks, I love you too," Teddy cried, finally letting go. Then he turned to Remus.

"Your mother's right you know, you are going to do great things. Don't worry, you'll see us at the right time," Remus held his son as he broke down. He patted his back and took him by the shoulders.

"Edward, we are so proud of you, you have grown into a great man, and we couldn't be happier," Remus said, few tears coming from his Amber eyes, "We love you, never forget that," Teddy nodded then walked back to his fiancé.

After some teary goodbyes, Harry stood at the front. He took out the phial of memories from his pocket with a slip of paper. Harry had gone to the bathroom earlier and decided that this would be the the best plan. He would give them these memories, and hopefully they would listen to them.

Harry gave one last hug to Sirius and Remus,

"What are these for?" Sirius whispered, as Harry discreetly put the phial in one of Sirius's robe pocket.

"Memories, watch them," Harry said then joined his wife,

Harry gripped his wand as Hermione gave the OK to go.

"Obliviate," he whispered, pointing his wand to the order of the Phoenix from 1995. Soon all of their eyes grew glossy and Harry knew the spell had worked, "let's go before they wake up," Harry said grabbing Hermione, everyone from 2022 copying his actions.

In a whisp of smoke, they were gone.
