Chapter Thirteen:
Harry growled as he stared up at the Veil of Mysteries.
"This damn thing has taken up half of my life!"
Hermione jumped at the exclamation, sending a flurry of papers into the air. "Oh for Goodness sake, Harry!" she snarled, bending down to gather her documents. The female's once brown curls were so littered with white, they were near colourless. Her laugh lines and annoyed little frown seemed to be the only wrinkles the bookworm had acquired over the years.
Harry dragged a hand through his own grey streaked hair before he bent to give the woman a hand. He sighed wearily. Hermione glanced up at him over the top of her reading glasses, "If you dyed your hair you'd look about fifteen years younger," she chuckled suddenly. Harry grinned despite his sour mood. "Funny," he smiled, "I was just thinking the same thing about you. We're not doing all that bad for a pair of fifty-five year olds."
He sat on the cement floor with a groan. Hermione stared at the Veil behind them with obvious disappointment. "We were so close to figuring out where it went." She whispered brokenly, years of wasted research causing her eyes to glisten.
Harry was about to comfort his friend when the door to the Department of Mysteries opened and Lily strode in. Harry gaped. "How the bloody hell did you get down here?" He frowned at his eldest child. Lily grinned at him, green eyes sparkling as she tossed her waist-length red curls behind her in a careless gesture. "i walked in, of course. We came to visit you at work."
"We?" Harry blinked. Jamie followed quickly behind his sister, pulling a reluctant Albus behind him as though the eighteen-year-old was only a toddler. Jamie grinned, flicking his dark fringe from his face. "Hi 'Mione!" he cried out. Hermione rolled her eyes before pulling the lanky male into a hug.
Albus stood a foot shorter than his twin and sister, wary eyes on his father. "I tried to stop them," he explained softly. Harry puffed out his breath in exasperation. "A hoard of Death Eaters couldn't stop your siblings, Albus."
Lily advanced on the Veil slowly, the muggle jeans she wore allowing her long legs to stalk forward gracefully. Is this it, then?" she asked curiously, "the portal you've been working your whole career on?"
"Be careful, Lily," Harry said wearily, standing to gather his things. "We don't know what that bloody thing does yet unfortunately."
Jamie followed his sister, blue eyes wide with fascination. "Well, it's a door so it's gotta open up somewhere right? Let's give it a go."
"No!"
Harry stared with horrified eyes at the Veil, through which his son had just vanished.
He froze for the barest of moments before grabbing his wand. "Hermione, take them home!" With that final shout, Harry raced into the Veil, ignoring his friend's desperate pleas. Hermione gasped in terrified shock, brown eyes popping as Lily suddenly grasped her younger brother close.
"Sorry, Hermione," Lily said with stern eyes, "but I'm going after my dad."
Hermione shrieked as Lily stepped through the whispering veil, Albus clutching tightly to his sister's waist. Hand gripping her throat in horror, Hermione raced from the room with a shriek of distress, screaming for help.

Harry landed on warm soil with a short 'oomph' of discomfort. He glanced around in confusion as someone helped him up. Jamie. His on grinned, wide eyes bright with excitement. Harry gripped the boy to him tightly, relief flooding his system painfully.
A soft yelp drew his attention and he watched as his two other children emerged from thin air a short distance away, Albus landing in an ungraceful pile on the floor. "I told you to go home!" he hissed at Lily, arm tight around Jamie as he advanced on his other children.
"Shush, dad and look around a minute." Lily replied softly, in awe. Harry scowled at the twenty-two year old and glanced around, mouth turning down in a grim line.
They were in a forest. A huge, wild, unfamiliar forest. The colours were bright and the plants were exotic, fluttering softly in a warm breeze. Harry glanced up at the deep purple sky warily, body tensing. "Where in Merlin's name are we?"
"We're sure as hell not in Kansas anymore." Lily stated with a low whistle. Harry glanced at the red head. "Yes, thank you, Lily." He said dryly. Albus shivered in fear as his siblings began to wander further out. He clutched at Harry's robes. "Don't go anywhere!" Harry growled, eyes on his more courageous children whilst he placed a hand on Albus' head. It was a wonder the boy had not been sorted into Hufflepuff.
Lily cast her father a suffering look. "We aren't getting anywhere standing in the one place." She said. Harry gritted his teeth, unable to debate her logic. He looked around almost desperately for something resembling the portal of the Veil of Mysteries. When he found nothing but foliage, he sighed in defeat. "Alright," he agreed, "start forward; we're bound to find something come morning." He glanced up at the sky in confusion, "or nightfall."
The forest was thick and treacherous to manoeuvre, full of hidden holes and unfamiliar noises. Albus' nerves took a beating as his foot disappeared down another small hole and Jamie hauled him up by the collar of his shirt. Eventually, they came to an area with fewer plants and the sky began to lighten to an unusual lilac. There were buildings up above.
Harry breathed a sigh of relief and started forward, arm around his smallest son. The path was blocked suddenly as a figure dropped from the tree tops. Harry froze, arms lifting in front of his children in a protective gesture as he stared at the creature. Its reddish skin looked oddly sunburnt and eyes of solid amber colour gazed at Harry curiously. It shook leaves from its blue hair and wings the colour of violets flared as it smiled at Harry swiftly.
The dark haired man frowned and took a step back. The creature shook his head, hands up in a peaceful gesture as he spoke something in a language that was vaguely familiar. Albus frowned, "He's speaking Latin, father," the boy whispered "He says he is a friend."
Harry eyed the thing warily. "A friend of who exactly?" he grunted. Albus licked his lips and repeated the question shakily in Latin. The creature beamed, steady gaze never leaving Harry. His next word was easy to understand and made the wizard freeze in alarm.
"Draco."
