Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter. I bet you never would have guessed that.

A/N: This is the first of 11 drabbles that I am writing for Addicted-to-Sugar-Quills' 'Happy New Year Competition.' My first pairing is Seamus and Lavender.

"Chloe, honey, are you coming through? The count down's beginning." I say pushing the door open to my 16 year old daughter's room.

I double take.

"Seamus!" I scream.

"What?" he calls back.

"She's gone; she's not in her room."

"Oh god," he says, "Where do you think she is?"

"The party, her friend's party that I didn't let her go to. This is all my fault. I'm an awful mother," I say, feeling terrified for my baby girl.

"It's OK," he tells me stroking my hair; "I'll find her."
