"They are missing!" Molly Weasley exclaimed in panic. She was rushing down the grand staircase of the Potter manor. "All of them are missing!"
Ginny Potter (née Weasley) came rushing down the hall – having head her mother's panicking – and met her mother at the bottom of the staircase. "What wrong, Mum?"
"The children," – Molly would never stop calling them that, no matter how old they got – "are all missing. James, Albus, Lily, Teddy, and the others, are all gone. Their beds haven't been slept in at all."
"What?" Ginny's eyes widened. Her children couldn't be missing. "Are you sure, Mum?"
Molly nodded her head, worry clear in her eyes.
Ginny pulled out her wand and held it flat in her hand. "Point Me, James."
Nothing happened.
"Point Me, Albus."
Again, nothing happened.
"Point Me, Lily."
Yet again, nothing happened.
"Point Me, Teddy."
Nothing...
Ginny tried one more time, "Point Me, Victoire."
And nothing happened.
"Where are they?" Ginny finally said in distress. She was usually a strong and confident woman... but when her children were involved, Ginny would easily lose her resolve.
"Ginny? Molly? Is everyone up? And is Lily getting ready?" Angelina Weasley (née Johnson) – George's wife – said as she approached them from the kitchen area. She wore a lovely, flowing purple dress and her black hair was curled elegantly.
Molly and Ginny both looked over at Angelina with looks of worry and distress.
"Is something wrong?" Angelina asked right away.
"They are... missing," Ginny told her sister-in-law quietly.
Angelina's eyes widened. "Missing?"
"Mum can't find any of them – James, Albus, Lily, Teddy, Rose, Fred... all of them are just... gone." Ginny whispered. "Where's Har –"
Angelina, however, had already taken off down the hall, calling out for her husband, "George! George!"
Molly and Ginny quickly followed behind her.
They all went through an enormous set of double doors which led into the back room on the first floor of the Potter manor. The room mostly had glass walls so that you could look out into the large yard and lovely back garden of the Potter manor.
Angelina rushed through the expensive, crystal sliding doors and onto the beautiful patio outside where the pool was. "George! George!" She called in a frantic tone.
George and Ron, under the instruction of Hermione, were currently making sure that all the seats were in perfect order for the wedding. Upon hearing his wife call his name, George looked over to the patio from the garden, which was were the wedding was going to be. He immediately rushed over once he saw the frantic and worried look on Angelina's face.
Hermione and Ron came over as well.
"Angelina, what's wrong?" He said once he reached her.
"Fred and Roxanne... and all of the other children...!" She cried, throwing her arms around George and leaning into him for support. "They're gone!"
"What?" Hermione gasped.
Ginny nodded her head. "Mum couldn't find them. And I tried the Point Me spell... but they couldn't be located."
"Rosie and Hugo..." Hermione whispered, tears welding up in her eyes.
Ron put an arm around Hermione and said, "We'll find them. But first let's get Harry and the others."
"... and finally, Ron, Hermione, Ginny, and I will take the top floor." Harry finished giving out instructions. He stood with his arms crossed and his face composed – though, of course, on the inside he was a nervous wreck. However, after years of being an Auror, he learned to keep his emotions in check. It didn't do any good to panic. "Well then, let's go look for them."
Harry and Ginny and Hermione and Ron all reached the top floor.
"Ron, 'Mione, you two can take the bedrooms." Harry told his best friends. "Gin and I will check the library and game rooms."
"Okay," Hermione nodded her head. She then walked down the hallway along with Ron.
"Let's check the library first." Ginny said, "Last night Rose, Molly, and Lucy were in there,"
Harry nodded his head. When they reached the library, they saw that the door was cracked opened slightly and the lights were left on inside. Harry glanced at Ginny before he pushed the doors opened. Immediately, Harry's eyes found the smashed Time-Turner on the ground as they entered the library.
"Ginny," He said, motioning to the broken Time-Turner. "They must've taken it from my office."
"James Sirius Potter!" Ginny said right away. She knew it was most likely her son seeing as how he was a notorious troublemaker – also amongst the cousins and friends, only he, Teddy, Albus, and Lily knew how to get into Harry's office.
Harry ripped the sleeve of his shirt – seeing as how he had nothing else – and bent down next to the smashed pieces. He began to carefully pick them up. "They broke it." He said. "That means the Time-Turner has probably hurtled them somewhere through time."
Ginny had clenched her fists and gave Harry a concerned look. "What... if they are back in the time of the war?"
"Then we better hurry up and figure out a way to return them back to this time." Harry said, standing up. "Let's go tell the others."
"What!" Molly practically shrieked. "They are lost somewhere in time!"
"Yes, Ginny and I found the broken Time-Turner pieces in the library." Harry nodded his head, and he set the wrapped-up Time-Turner pieces down on the dining room table for everyone to see. "We are guessing that James –"
"Not guessing," Ginny hissed angrily, her arms crossed.
Harry put a reassuring hand on his wife's shoulder and continued, "We think that James is the one who broke into my private study and stole the Time-Turner. And then they somehow broke it, which means the Time-Turner will have malfunctioned."
Audrey Weasley (née Greengrass) reached for Percy's hand, holding it tightly. She asked, "What happens when a Time-Turner malfunctions?"
"The Time-Turner will get confused – it won't know how far to send the people who broke it into the past. So, the Time-Turner will just randomly pick a time and send the people there... and that could either be the future or the past."
"That means they are lost in time." Hermione said, fearing for the safety of her children. She was clutching onto Ron. "Oh, Harry! We have to save them. What if they've gone back in time to during the war with Voldemort? They could be in serious danger."
"I know, 'Mione." Harry nodded his head. "I'll bring this to Kingsley – he'll be able to help."
"I'll help you as well, Harry." Ron spoke up.
"Same here," Neville Longbottom added.
Just because Ron and Neville had retired from being Aurors, didn't mean they weren't going to step up and help.
"Great going, Potter," Draco Malfoy couldn't help but sneer. Though he didn't show it, he was extremely worried for Scorpius. "Your son James has gotten my son lost in time."
Harry narrowed his eyes at Malfoy. "James didn't do this on purpose – it was an accident." Harry said with a dangerous tone to his voice.
"Draco, honey –" Astoria tried to stop her husband.
"Your son is a screw up." Draco said.
Ginny instantly drew her wand and pointed it at Draco. She had a hard, blazing look in her eyes and was speaking before Harry could even say anything, "Shut your mouth, Malfoy! My – son – is – not – a – screw-up!"
Harry smiled proudly at his wife.
"Stop, stop!" Hermione shouted at them all, and then she continued on in a reasonable tone, "All of this fighting isn't going to help us bring them back. We have to work together." She looked over to Harry, "Is there any possible way we can make contact with them?"
"I'm not... actually, yes! There is." Harry said, taking off his necklace – it was a black chain with a locket which had the Potter, Black, and Weasley family crests on it.
"Oh, Harry... I completely forgot about those!" Ginny said. She was wearing a similar necklace as well – Ginny's was white-gold, though, instead of black.
"What are those?" Mafalda Wolpert (née Prewett) questioned. Over the years, she'd become nicer, though she still had her cold, Slytherin persona.
"I created these necklaces for Ginny, James, Albus, Lily, Teddy, and I. They are similar to the two-way mirror Sirius gave me in my fifth year." – Harry said this with a slightly sad tone – "You just say the name of who you wish to contact and they will show up as a sort of hologram so that you can speak with them."
"Zen lets use it." Fleur Weasley (née Delacour) said with a hint of her French accent – it had lessened somewhat over the years.
Harry opened the locket revealing a smooth, clear mirror. "Lily Potter." He said...
Past
The next morning everyone found themselves crowded into the kitchen for breakfast. Molly had made an array of breakfast foods and had placed them onto the table on trays for everyone to take from.
Remus and Arthur were seated at one end of the table with Teddy and Jareth, discussing possible ways for them to be sent back to their time-era.
"Couldn't we just use another Time-Turner?" James finally spoke up, having been listening to their conversation.
Remus shook his head. "There is no guarantee that could work." He said. "When you broke that Time-Turner, it malfunctioned and it didn't know what time to send you to, so it randomly shot you all through time. If we were to do something like that, you could possibly be lost in time forever." (1)
"If you three," Rose began, glaring at James, Fred II, and Louis, "had just given us the Time-Turner, this wouldn't have happened."
"We already apologized." Louis half-snapped, "There is nothing else we can do."
Rose opened her mouth to argue, but Scorpius placed a hand on her shoulder. "He's right, Rosie." He told his girlfriend. "We shouldn't be fighting. We should all try to work together to get home."
"... You're right..." Rose sighed reluctantly.
Lily, however, just scowled as she listened to them. She wasn't going to easily let this one go. They ruined her wedding!
"Er, how did you get here?" Harry asked curiously, looking at the members of the Next Generation.
"James, Fred, and Louis stole a Time-Turner from your office, Uncle Harry." Molly II explained. "We, of course, tried to get it back from them. However, they didn't want to relinquish it... and then James ended up tripping and smashing the Time-Turner, sending us back in time."
"And when – or if – we get back, James will be in so much trouble with Dad and Mum." Albus said, shaking his head. "Time-Turner's are rare."
"Rare?" Hermione was puzzled.
"Oh," James was grinning excitedly. "At the en –"
Lily kicked James under the table.
"OUCH!"
"Don't be an idiot." Lily hissed at him. "You can't tell them that."
"Tell – us – what?" Ron asked around a mouthful of food.
"Nothing!" Rose, Lily, and Molly all said together.
Molly cleared her throat. Everyone turned to look at her.
"After breakfast, I think that everyone should join together to clean." Molly told them all. "With more people here, we'll be able to get this place cleaned even more quickly."
"What?" James practically complained. "I'm twenty-two. I don't have –"
"James." Victoire said sharply, giving her cousin the infamous "Weasley look". "You're going to help."
James sighed dramatically. "Okay!"
Suddenly, Lily's rose-gold chain necklace started getting warm and glowing black. Her eyes widened. "Of course...!" Lily shouted happily, pulling her necklace off.
"Shit!" James cursed. "Why didn't I think of that?"
"James, don't curse!" Molly, Rose, Molly II, and Victoire all said at the same time.
"What is that?" Harry asked curiously.
"You invented it," Lily told Harry. "It's like Sirius' two-way mirrors. You say the name of the person you wish to contact and you can speak with them."
Sirius couldn't help but grin when he heard this.
"It's glowing black, which means that it is Dad who is calling me." Lily informed them, and then she opened the locket and set it on the table.
Suddenly, an older Harry, Ginny, Hermione, Ron, George, and others were seen. Their images were being projected into the air as holograms...
