"What do you mean I'm not supposed to exist?" Albus and Scorpius jumped and turned guiltily to the door, to see Jamie standing there. Albus had forgotten about the weekly dinner. "What's that supposed to mean, Albus?" She asked again, sounding angry. Albus looked to Scorpius for help, who shrugged.

"You might as well tell her, mate." He said. "I mean, she's a large part of this sort of mess we've created."

"What mess?" Albus sighed, but stood from his bed and went up to Jamie.

"We went back in time and screwed something up so that your dad lived, and now you exist." He told her bluntly, and she furrowed her eyebrows.

"What do you mean? Dad never died, that's impossible." Albus shook his head.

"Before we got the time turner, your dad was dead. He had fallen into the Veil, where I guess people go when they died. But then, I guess we messed something up when we went back in time, because your dad ended up living, and now you exist." Jamie looked down at herself, as if she expected for herself to disappear.

"Wow." Was all she said, just as a ball flew down the hall, and a crash was heard.

"James! What have you done!?" Teddy shouted, running down the hall after the football.

"Bloody hell!" James shouted, hot on his heels. "Uncle Harry's gonna kill me!"

"Yeah, he will!" Teddy shouted back, running past the door again, bouncing the ball, and Albus saw Jamie smile, the cogs in her head turning so loudly and quickly, he could practically hear them.

"Jamie? What are you thinking?" She looked to him, her eyes wide with excitement.

"Well, if you were able to bring my dad back for me and James..." She started, James kicking the ball down the hall, a loud yell being heard and Fred came running down the hall, tackling James to the ground, Teddy running over laughing. "Maybe we can bring Teddy's parents back for him!" Both boys' eyes went wide.

"Go back again?" They exclaimed in unison, Jamie hurrying to shut the door, nodding.

"Yeah! The time turner hasn't been destroyed yet! Aunt Hermione still has it in her office! All we have to do is get it!"

"But Jamie, that's mad!" Scorpius told her. "We got in so much trouble last time for going back! To do it again would be a terrible idea!"

"But this is for Teddy." She insisted, crossing her arms. "He'd do the same for us! We have to bring back Uncle Remus and Aunt Tonks!" Albus looked to Scorpius.

"She makes a good point. Teddy would do the same if our parents were dead. And we were about to bring Grandpa Sirius without any repercussions! Why can't we do the same with Uncle Remus and Aunt Tonks?"

"Bringing Sirius was a repercussion!" Scorpius insisted, his mind boggled. He wanted to bring Teddy's parents back, but bringing Sirius back before had been an accident! To try and do something like that again but on purpose... "What if we mess time up again? We can't try that again!"

"But think about Teddy!" Jamie insisted, pulling him over to the door and opening it a crack to show that Harry and Sirius had come upstairs and were playing around with the other boys. Harry was kicking the football back and forth between him and Fred, while Sirius and James wrestled playfully on the ground, Teddy egging them on as he laughed, though Albus felt bad. Fred and James were able to play with their dads. Why shouldn't Teddy?

Jamie suddenly grabbed their hands and pulled them downstairs to the kitchen, where Ginny was showing Lily the Bat Bogey Hex on the cat, Hermione and Hugo setting the table for Karina, who was making dinner tonight, Rose sitting at the table reading. Albus watched as a plate slipped out of Hugo's hand and Hermione caught it, putting an arm around Hugo affectionately, mother and son looking happy.

"You're right, Jamie." He whispered. "We've got to bring Teddy's parents back."
