Harry was 18 again. He had merely glanced at a mirror only to find himself staring at himself. Not a five year old little boy who had lost his tree star. No. Harry was a young man trying to come into his own which triggered a thought. He was aware of the life he led in his own world. Harry knew of his accomplishments and that the sacrifices that were made to find his mother and uncle soon paid off. But what would happen to him here? Would he be the same man or someone completely different? Harry splashed cool water onto his face, fighting the anguish and confusion. Who was he? The same joke about being Harry fuckin' Potter was great, but it wasn't him. Not really. He was always reaching out for something more, something that would make him grow but grow into whom? The man in his world or the man here? Feeling as he was thinking too much, Harry hit the gym, taking his wraps and gloves with him. He spent an hour or two, taking out his emotions on the bag, simultaneously figuring out what to do next.

What needed to be done?

Time with Remus. He needed his time with his dad. And then his other dad. Maybe a family night with everyone. He needed to see Eris, because despite having some fun with her, he had grown to care for her as well. Then Astro came to mind.

"That sounded like a challenge, Potter."

And he was always up for those.

Knowing he could be more stubborn than she, he hit the showers and made his way back to his room. Standing in only his shorts, he took a peep out of his door and looked around. Kids were running around everywhere but Astro was damn easy to pin point. A seemingly seventeen year old girl, yelling for Eris and Juni. She didn't look much different in Harry's opinion which was a good thing in his eyes. She was beautiful as is.

"Pssst!"

As soon as she came within his perimeter, Harry grabbed her arm and pulled the young woman into his room. It might have looked wrong and he wouldn't have been surprised if someone or some kid tried calling for the cops. Harry had good intentions. He always had good intentions. Most of the time. Pinning the girl's arms behind her back as she struggled to fight his strength, Harry guided her with his leg on the backs of her knees. A little trick he learned from his own mother. "Stop fighting already and LOOK!" He pressed his face against hers and looked into the mirror with her.

He hoped. Hoped she would change into who she really was and not who she thought she was.

He recognized it in an instant. The aggressiveness. The part where she refused to give in. Harry knew it so well because it was a part of him, a part of something he had a hard time controlling. Harry really had no grounds for getting inside Astro's head but he had a feeling he could understand her more than most. "Back to assuming shit that I'm right about." He couldn't help but to spit back the venom. She had started it after all.

Sucking in a quick breath, he hissed between his teeth and looked her over. "Why do I want to know? Because I care. I pulled you away because none of that crap out there lasts. You can feel great one minute and in an instant, they'll take it away from you. I pulled you away because what I have to say...whatever happens here...is real."

Harry couldn't help what had happened next. In one swift motion, he lifted her up and pinned her against the wall, giving her a singe deep kiss. In amidst of the kiss, he whispered.

"I'm sorry."

"You aren't right, you don't know a damned thing, Potter," she shot right back. All of the Black and Prewett genes, the ones designated for flared anger, seemed to be rushing forward. And with his the hiss he made her hands got thrown up in the air.

"You care? Maybe that crap doesn't last but it is a whole lot better then knowing nothing lasts!"

And there it was. The true fear was out in the open and before she could even react, she was against the wall, and his lips were against hers. She had her last syllable cut off and she felt heat rush all through her body, everything tingling, and before she could stop herself, her legs were wrapped around him, if nothing else for support. But he was warm in all the right places and when he pulled away, whispering the apology, all she could do was shield her face as quick as possible before it crumbled against her will.

"Stop pushing me," she whispered, her tone full of fear. She preferred it being built up inside of her.

It wasn't about Harry winning. He knew he would get something out of her, if not all the truth about why she was not being the Astro he knew. This was a completely different side that he had never seen and he could only feel appreciative that she was showing some emotion rather than just saying she wanted to party. He wrapped his arms around her tight as she hid her face. Nothing lasts. "Well that's not very true. If something is meant to last forever, then it will." Like his parents. His dad stayed celibate and searched for his wife for YEARS, and it paid off.

Harry buried his face in her hair and smiled. "Someone's got to. You can't go around this place pretending everything is okay, when its not. That would make you a liar." Lifting his head, he pressed his forehead against hers, nudging his nose against her smaller one. Harry didn't blink. He merely stared with his bright green eyes, looking not triumphant, but sincere.

"You afraid of losing her?"

See, in Astro's mind, the only thing that did last was precisely that. Her family. Her family that extended past genetics and had included all of the Marauder's and their respective families since she was a child. A family that included Juniper and Eris. And yet, here she was, in a place that she might never leave again, being told her family was just slowly drifting away from the compound. Her aunt and Uncle, her cousins, her sisters, her brother. They had all disappeared at some point, presumably going back to the proper world, and she was still here.

And what if more people left? What if one day her Father and Mother were gone? Her other aunt and uncle? Abby? Juniper?

Eris?

It was very clear that even though her face was covered, and for a moment emotion had broken through from her, that she was fighting against it. Fighting to the point where it looked as though she was making it difficult for herself to breathe at all. She didn't want to cry in front of Harry Fucking Potter. Astro did not cry. It was not something she allowed. She just got angry and dealt with her aggression in that manner.

"I don't care if it makes me a liar," was grumbled through a strained voice. The last question from Harry, though, was given the sound of muffled sob. A yes without words.

Harry was about to make a comment, but she started to cry, he held on to her tighter. This wasn't his intention to make her cry but he understood that sometimes a person needed to be pushed. Maybe she needed this.

Still holding onto her small frame, he carried her over to his bed. "Don't get any ideas, Black." He offered a warm smile and slid into the bed with her. Wrapping his arms around her once more, he gave a squeeze. "You won't lose her. You two are practically meant for one another. As for me, I'm just an innocent bystander who just got lucky to witness it all." Kissing the top of her head, he shifted to get more comfortable, cradling a crying Ro in his arms.

"I promise I won't tell anyone what happened here."
