"

"Ginny, Ginny" I opened my eyes to see harry leaning over me.

"Harry, what are you doing, it's" I glanced at the clock "3:30 am!"

"I got an owl from the ministry, i have to go to work" I felt my heart sink. Harry was always being called into work. I sat up against the headboard of our bed

"Where are you going?"

"I don't know yet, i think somewhere in Northern Finland, but we might also go to Russia, Sweden or Norway."

"So it's a long mission?"

"Probably, about 2 weeks." I frowned

"You'll miss Lily's 5th birthday" looking at his eyes i could see that he hadn't realized that he would miss his daughters birthday.

"I'll try to be back as soon as i can, but i have to go now." He leant down to hug me. "I'll be back before you know it" he whispered in my ear. He gently kissed the top of my head before he let go.

"I'll miss you, but it's only 2 weeks."

"I'll miss you too" i said as he started to get out of our bedroom. I put on my robe and walked towards the window. I heard the door close and a few seconds later i saw a figure walking a few meters and then disappearing with a loud crack.

I got back into bed and tried to go back to sleep but it was impossible, i must have fallen asleep at last since I suddenly woke up, drenched in sweat. Another nightmare. I used to have nightmares every night when harry, ron and hermione were on the run, after they got back they became less and less frequent, until harry started auror training and had to go on missions. When he was gone the nightmares came back. At night images of him lying dead flooded my mind.I knew that if he was dead or hurt the ministry would owl me as soon as they knew about it but still. An owl could get lost, stop it ginny! I told myself as i walked towards the bathroom to take a shower.

Harrys POV

I left my front yard with a crack. When i reached the ministry everything was quiet, i made my way to the elevator. When he reached the auror department, he saw that there weren't going to be a lot of people on the mission. In fact the only other person than him and this boss there was one of the best aurors in the whole world, Thomas Diggle. This meant that it was probably a dangerous mission. My boss quickly explained the mission and said that they would be leaving in 10 minutes. I grabbed a piece of parchment and started writing, 5 minutes later i was done. I put the letter in an envelope and put it in my pocket.

Ginnys POV

"James, Albus, Lily!" I called up the stairs, a minute later i heard the steps of my three children racing down the stairs. I smiled to myself as they sat down with me at the breakfast table.

"Where is daddy?" Lilly asked.

"He had to go away for work, you know like he does sometimes."

"Oh"

"How long will he be gone?" This time it was james who was asking.

"Well he thinks he will be back in 2 weeks." I glanced at Lily to se if she had reacted.

"But my birthday is in one week! That means that he'll miss my birthday!"

"That's right Lily but sometimes he can't choose which missions to go on, he has to do what Mr. Muchamore tells him to, and they needed him on your birthday."

Harry's POV

I climbed out of the tent, it was freezing cold. Today was Lilys birthday. My little Lily was now five years old. Even more snow had come during the night, we are currently located at the swedish border to finland.

"Did you get anything new on his location?" I asked Thomas who had also peered out of his tent.

"Yes, in fact he has travelled south, to a place called Sarek. We will be apparating there tonight.

Our things were packed up and put into a small bag with a crack i felt the familliar tug behind my navel and the slight nausea. Suddenly i was in the middle of a chaos. Four people where duelling, one of them was the man we were looking for. I quickly reached for my wand, but just as i was about to grab it i saw a spell being cast at me, then everything went black.

Ginny's PoV

It was cold, it was december 8th and the first snow had come a few days ago. The quidditch season was coming to an end but we had one more game against Puddlemore United to play. I got of my broom and quickly made my way towards the changing rooms. It was dark and i had to go pick up the kids at the burrow before i got home.

After a quick shower i put my clothes on and made my way outside to apparate when an owl landed on my shoulder. I gently removed the letter attatched to its leg and it fly away. When i looked closer at the note i saw that it was from the ministry, my heart stopped as i read what it said.
