When Harry woke, he found his head in someone's lap and he could hear yelling.
'I'm sorry, this is all my fault,' a soft voice permeated his brain as a hand continued to stroke his hair.
He looked up into the sorrowful eyes of his father.
'No Remy, it's not your fault,' Harry replied sitting up, the yelling abruptly stopped.
'It was, we dropped her off here because Draco was having contractions and...'
'Stop it, all of you,' Harry demanded softly, 'This isn't anyone's fault but those that took her,' he said sounding far calmer than he should be.
'Harry,' Severus came over to sit beside his husband, gently laying a hand on his back.
'Please don't touch me,' Harry said softly so only Severus could hear as he stood and moved away from Severus. He was the only one that noticed the hurt look on Severus. Remus moved to comfort him but Severus just glared at him.
'Can someone please tell me what happened?' Harry asked turning to the group, who were surprised to see the emotionless mask on Harry.
'We were in Hogsmeade with Kendra when Draco started having contractions. We rushed back to Hogwarts and while Poppy started her exam I dropped Kendra off at the Burrow with a quick explanation.' Remus offered.
'We agreed to look after her and that night, Jack, Charlie's boyfriend appeared. He said that Charlie wasn't feeling well and that Charlie had ordered him from the house for the night. Jack thought it would be a good time to visit his fiancés parents.' Arthur continued since Remus really didn't know this part and Molly would start sobbing sporadically.
'He bought a bottle of Molly's favourite wine, we each only had a glass, and then the next thing I know I'm waking up on the couch and Jack and Kendra were both gone, I am so sorry Harry,' Arthur finished moving to comfort Harry, who stepped out of reach. Arthur looked hurt but Severus seemed to begin to understand. Harry didn't want comfort, possibly thinking that he didn't deserve it.
Harry nodded, though, before turning to Kingsley, 'I take it you've been searching for information on both Jack and Blaise,' it wasn't a question.
'Of course, we have their last known whereabouts and sent a team to Charlie's in Spain, so far nothing.' he replied, then sighed as Harry turned to Remus.
'Where's Draco?' he asked.
'Harry I understand you're scared for your daughter. We are doing everything we can to find her,'
'Which clearly isn't enough,' Harry replied trying to curb his anger.
'Congratulations on making it through the Auror academy Potter, but you aren't one, leave the detective work to those of us that are,' Kingsley snapped. He knew it had been a low blow but it had been Harry's choice, he had done the training but he had opted to be a Professor instead.
Harry glared at the taller man before going back to Remus, 'where's Draco?' he asked again.
'Upstairs, sedated. His contractions were false, probably brought on by the stress of the crowds, then when he found out about Kendra...' Remus trailed off.
'You should be with him,' Harry stated. Searching Harry, Remus nodded, seemingly having understood something that no one else had and he stood and left.
'Harry?' Kingsley asked not really sure what was going on.
'I may not be a certified Auror but I am a better one then you could ever hope to be. This is my daughter that is missing and we will do this my way,' Harry replied, his anger shocking Molly, Arthur and Severus.
'No,' Kingsley shot back, 'it is precisely that reason that you won't have anything to do with this. You will do as we tell you and you will not go looking for your daughter,' he commanded, pulling himself to his full height.
'I will find my daughter!' Harry yelled about to launch himself at Kingsley, but he was grabbed from behind by Severus, 'don't touch me!' he shoved Severus away and Arthur had to steady the potions master.
Before anyone could stop Harry he stormed from the room and disappeared with a crack.
'He's terrified and he's tucked every emotion but hate and anger into a corner of his mind because otherwise he won't be able to function.' Arthur said softly.
'We have to find him before he does something stupid.' Kingsley said, and Severus nodded in agreement.
'I'll find him,' he said moving to find the exact spot Harry had vanished from. He found it and turned to Kingsley, 'please find our daughter, I don't think Harry would survive if anything happened to her, and I don't think I would either,' with that Severus disappeared.

Severus found Harry standing in the middle of Kendra's nursery at Hogwarts.
'Kingsley's right, Harry, you shouldn't get involved in this investigation.' He said not moving from the doorway.
'But how can I not?' Harry asked his hands on the railing to her crib.
'By telling yourself that the best of the best are out there looking for our daughter, staying here and out of trouble so that when our bean-shith comes home, that you are here for her.' Severus replied, putting his all into the words.
They stood in silence for a moment before Severus embraced his husband from behind. Harry, like he had at the Burrow, shook Severus off.
'I can't Sev,' Harry said in a voice not much louder than a whisper, 'I'm sorry but I have to be strong.'
'Merlin, you are, accepting comfort doesn't make you weak,' Severus replied, keeping his hurt and his frustration out of his posture and voice.
'When she's back in my arms,' Harry replied before picking something up and leaving the nursery.
Severus followed Harry back to the Burrow where Kingsley was setting up his base of operations.
Harry offered the stuffed silver and purple Pegasus to Kingsley, 'please find our daughter.'
