Oh and also I've decided to write a random Harry Potter fact on every Chapter J so here's
No 1: "Hogwarts" is actually the name of a Flower, a Lily no less. Which JK saw in Kew Gardens, seven years before writing Harry Potter.
Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter. Boo Hoo…
Harry
I was just sitting at home in the living room with Gin. We were just quietly reminiscing, telling each other stories. And talking about our children, our beautiful children and how well they've grown up. I just cant even describe how great it is, to have a normal lifestyle, a peaceful life, where the worst thing that happens is we run out of milk. My life has just been like a dream since we killed Voldemort. That day brought great happiness, but also great sadness. I cant think about that day and the weeks and months that followed without just being overwhelmed with sadness. When any of the children ask any of us adults about The War, we all find it very hard to speak about it, we lost so many during those twenty seven years. But we try to tell them what they want to know, because we don't want to hide them from it, they're going to find out anyway, and its much better to find out from their family.
So we were sitting there, Ginny cuddled up sleepily in my arms, enjoying each other, when a Patronus that took the form of a cat stormed into our sitting room, Professor McGonagall's voice boomed out.
"Harry, we need your Auror services here in Hogwarts, I have also sent Ronald a Patronus informing him, there are a number of students and teachers missing in Hogwarts, its rather urgent."
With that the cat disappeared. I look over at Ginny, who is now wide awake and has jumped up from the couch and franticly looking back at me.
"Harry, we need to go!" Ginny looks at me trembling.
"Yeah your right. Okay c'mon we can meet Ron there, Hermione too."
We walk over to our huge open fireplace, I go first, taking some Floo powder I drop it from my hands and say in a clear precise voice "Headmasters Office, Hogwarts"
I land in the fireplace and glance around. Professor McGonagall is standing by her desk, with all of the children, James, Al, Rose, Hugo, Fred, Fred's Girlfriend Emily, who is like family, Roxy, Dom and Louis. I smile at them, but then notice something. Something's not right.
"Where's Lily?" I look at the kids, they all seem very nervous. Oh merlin. "James? Wheres Lily?"
At that moment Ginny arrives, and then within seconds, Ron and Hermione are here too. We're all standing there, facing the Kids and McGonagall. Ginny is the first to realise.
"Oh my god, they have Lily? They have my Lils don't they? James? Albus? Tell me? Where is my baby?"
I take Ginny's hand. Professor McGonagall looks at all of us and begins to speak for the first time.
"James and Fred played some kind of, prank, this evening, they turned out all the lights in Hogwarts and in that 4 minutes, some students, and teachers, went missing. Lily was one of those students. We have closed down the whole school. Nobody can get in or out of this school, through magic or any other means. Except of course my fireplace there, which will be closed once the Auror's arrive. All the secret passageways have been closed off. So we are hoping that whoever has done this, are still in the school."
I look at Ginny. She is staring at me, with very worried eyes. I glance over at Ron and Hermione, they're both looking at Professor McGonagall.
"Okay. Well we can start searching straight away? I'll call the Auror's right now."
I take out the fake galleon we used all those years ago back in the DA. These days its used between the Auror's to contact each other. I send the Auror's a message, and then within a minute there was twenty odd men and woman lined up by the wall. Sombre looks upon their faces.
(A/N: 20-odd men, here in Ireland, and maybe ye say it too, but just in case ye think "weird men" its 20-odd.. Like 20 something men. LOL)
"Ok everyone. We're going to look everywhere. We have to turn this place upside down. All of the students teachers and house elves are in the Great Hall so some of us will look there first. We have to start immediately. There's no time to waste."
I make a plan of what people go where and two minutes later I'm fighting with the kids. They want to come look too but I wont allow it. I want them to stay in McGonagall's office, away from danger but they're not having any of it.
"They might as well come Harry, after all, we were doing so much worse at that age, and once they stick together and have an adult with them at all times they will be fine. Remember what Ginny did the night of the War, Molly forbid her to leave the Room of Requirement, and what did she do, first chance she got she was out of there. We don't need something like that happening."
I have to agree with Hermione, everyone else does. So Hermione leaves with Hugo, Rose and Fred. Ron with Dom, Emily and Louis, Ginny with James, Albus and Roxy. While I leave with three Auror's including Seamus Finnigan.
The two Auror's, Seamus and I run from McGonagall's office all the way to the Great Hall. When we reach the Great Hall we storm in, everyone's sitting at tables, Teachers, House Elves and Pupils alike, not caring what house table they were at or who they were with, in terms of House's. While the prefects try to reassure them in any way possible. Some children look considerably more worried than others. Which makes me wonder how many students we are actually looking for. The four of us search everywhere in the Great Hall, all worried eyes upon us. No luck, so we leave. I hope we find them soon, I hope we can get to them on time.
We run along the corridor of the main floor. Rushing through the seven classroom that are on the ground floor. Once again with no luck. Then we take the stairs two at a time to the kitchen, where it is empty, all the house elves being in the Great Hall. We search through cupboards, fridges and freezers and cast spell upon spell to reveal anybody that could be hiding or hidden among the fruit and veg. Once we know there isn't anybody there we take the adjoining stairs to the Hufflepuff Common Room. How will we ever find them. But we have to. If I have to tear this place apart I will find my daughter! And everybody else that is missing. There will be no more devastation in Hogwarts
Hermione.
It seems every time I am in this school it's bad news. The last time we were here as a family was when my darling Rose fell down the stairs, my poor baby was rushing to her class. She tripped, stumbled and literally went head over heels and hit her head off the concrete. We were sitting by her side for hours fretting, and the first thing she said when she woke up was "Is there any food, I'm starving!" So we knew she was perfectly fine. Definitely a Weasley, thinks through her stomach, bless her. But every year we have to come to this school. There is a memorial held for everyone that died during the War, and this school has just become a nightmare to me. I just hate coming here. Because it is usually for a bad reason. And I cant stand it. Knowing that so many people died here that faithful night, that so many future's were destroyed. But we are here now, looking for people that seem to have just disappeared off the face of the planet. Fred keeps checking the Marauders Map but we cant find Lily's little dot, or any of the other children or teachers. How could this be? Surely they couldn't have left the school?
"There's never a new secret passageway is there Fred?" I ask apprehensively.
"No, myself and James have searched the school from head to foot over the past six years in the hope of finding a new passage. But no luck. I just don't understand where they could be. I mean, they definitely cant have left the school. But, I just don't get it. We haven't even had any leads."
We walk up to the Fat Lady, and question her about what went on. If she saw anything.
"All the lights went off, and about a minute afterwards I could hear someone shuffling around and then somebody cast some spell, under their breath that I couldn't understand. Then they were able to open the door into the common room. I couldn't stop them I'm sorry."
"Its okay, but you need to let us in please!" Words rush out of my mouth. They could be in there, they could be hiding in there. Lily and all those others could be sitting in the Common Room perfectly fine. I cant help but hope.
The Fat Lady open the door for us and we all pile in. We look around, theirs nobody here. We search the whole common room. It looks the exact same, this makes me very upset, emotions whooshing through my head, thoughts and memories flooding into my head.
Thinking back to my days here, cuddling up on that puffy couch over in the corner next to the fire. Or studying in that desk in the corner teaching Harry and Ron spell upon spell. Doing their homework for them, just having a laugh. In between all the drama, and fighting and the war, we had fun. We were just your average teenage group of friends.
Fred see's me looking wistfully around, he is such an intuitive person, even as a baby he would realise something was wrong and try to comfort you. A small little two year old coming up to you giving you a big hearty cuddle, really would cheer you up to. Bless him. He put his arm around me,
"Hey, Mione, I know its rough being here, but lets just look around as fast as possible, remember, we need to find Lily and the others."
"Your right, I'm sorry. Okay you and Hugo go look in all the Boys dorms while Rose and I will check all the Girls dorms, and we'll meet back here as soon as possible, if you find any thing shout, I'm sure we'll hear."
So we split up. Rose and I take the girls first, and second year dorm rooms, finding nothing at all of interest. When we reach the third we could tell something wasn't right. The door was ajar, unlike the other doors, and the room was a lot messier than any of the other rooms, clothes strewn all over the beds, cupboards and bedside tables open with quills and parchment everywhere. Bottles of ink spilled all over bed sheets. We knew they were in here. Whoever they are. We start looking around, surely we can find something! But nothing more than the other rooms, they must've been looking for something. But what? Unless, whats this-
"Mooooom, Roseeee.. Come here quick!" Hugo screams.
I draw my attention away from that unidentified object. I glance at my daughter, who is, without a doubt Ron's daughter, beautiful fire-red long curls, my curls. The famous Weasley Ginger Hair. She's tall too, her dad being tall, all of the Weasley's being so tall. She looks back at me with those big brown bambi eyes, my eyes.
We leg it down the stairs two at a time. We get into the common room and run back up more steps. Turn the corner and run down the corridor. We stop outside the 6th year dorm. Fred and Hugo are standing next to a bed. Harry's old bed from when we were here. Hugo was holding a sheet of parchment.
"Mom, I think you should take a look at this."
I take the sheet from him and look down at it. I hear Rose inhale quickly.
You are smart Hermione this is after all the great Harry Potter's old bed, is it not? Lily is waiting. And every minute spent looking, is a minute less Lily will spend on this earth alive. Make a wise choice. You can either save Lily, The Choosen One's daughter. Or you can save the six others. Its your choice Hermione, one or the other. But in the end they will all die, and so will you.
(A/N) Okay. Well there you go(: I will get another chapter up by Sunday. Hope you enjoy this. I know I said next chapter they would find Lily. But this chapter is really long (by my standards) and I think this is the best ending to the chapter(:
