I'm not Joanne Rowling, so I don't own Harry Potter, or anything related to it.
"Well, where are we going to send them, then? They can't stay here over the summer holidays, can they?"
"I just can't take them. I'm almost always busy getting things for wand-making, and making wands, and my sister is out of the question too, she's got 3 dogs, 2 toddlers, my triplets, and some more on the way to look after, and she has a job too." I recognised that voice as my mother's. My first biological mother's voice.
"Are there any other relatives who could have them, then?" McGonagall asked.
"Not the father… he has a job, a very good job at that, and he has no relatives… but they have an aunt and uncle, I believe… on their other biological mother's side…"
"Other biological mother?" Dumbledore asked.
"Yes, remember I told you about her earlier, and although she is dead, she still has a son, and a sister, and the sister has a husband and a son."
"Surely you aren't suggesting that we send them off to live with the worst sort of muggles, I'm sure we could find them a more… fitting… magical foster family…"
"Well, if we can't find them one, Minerva, then I'm afraid they will have to stay there."
"But Albus, I must insist, having Harry there is bad enough. We can't put any more children in the so called care of the Dursleys."
"I know, but we don't have a choice, Aurora and Christabelle will be safe there."
"Why are you talking about us?" Chrissie asked.
"Ah, Chris, Rory, we were just talking about you." Professor McGonagall said.
"What's the problem?" Chris asked.
"Your adoptive parents have vanished, I'm afraid. We can't find a suitable place to put you… do you know about your brother?" Dumbledore asked.
I nodded.
"Good. Then I'm sure that you know about his aunt, uncle and cousin… well, I suppose they are yours too…"
"The Dursleys…" Chris said.
"Well, they're your only relatives who might have a possibility of taking you in. Even then, there's no guarantee."
"When… when did they… go missing… Professor?" I asked.
"They were reported missing a few days ago."
"Where's Tonks? I thought we had Metamorphmagi training…" Chris asked
"She's currently receiving her Auror training in Professor Lockhart's room… didn't she tell you? She changed her mind, your training begins on Friday night."
"Oh, well… we'll be… going, then…" Chris said, and we turned to the statue again.
"Wait!" Professor McGonagall said. "Is there anyone else who might take you in?"
"Mr and Mrs Weasley, I suppose…" Chris said, before taking us down the statue again.
We walked down to Hagrid's hut again. Ron was just finishing vomiting up slugs.
"Lesson cancelled… oh, and our adoptive parents are missing…" I said.
"Are you sure you're alright, you two? You just… it's not normal for people to shrug off your grief and worry like that." Hermione said.
"It's normal behaviour for us." Chris snapped. Her hair and eyes went very red, and almost looked on fire.
"Ok, if that's normal, then that's fine." Hagrid said, a little suspiciously… well, it seemed that way to me, anyway.
"What are they going to do with you then, I mean, in the summer holidays, if your parents are still missing, they'll have to send you somewhere won't they?" Harry asked.
"They can't think of any of our relatives who might take us in, not our dad, whoever he is, our mum is apparently too busy, and her sister has too much on her hands. And obviously… James and our other mum can't take us in… there's only one solution they can think of right now." Chris said.
"No, you don't mean…"
I nodded.
"They probably wouldn't take you in even if they were paid…" Harry said.
"We figured… from what you said, they don't seem like the nicest people…" Chris said…
"But… what's going to happen to us?" I asked.
"I don't know, Rory, I just don't know…" Chris replied.
Well, I put a poll up about this story, it isabout where they should , and I'd advise voting on it, because then I can get started on chapter 11.
Their adoptive parents will resurface eventually. Lets say in about 4-5 years.
Happy Reading, I'm off to watch Glee :)
