Harry walked into the Ministry's Research Committee. He's snuck away whilst Severus was working. He headed toward Redbridge's door, knocking a couple of times before letting himself in. He saw Redbridge look up at him alarmed.

"Mister Potter?" he asked and glanced at Harry's empty arms.

"Harry, please…" Harry whispered tears coming to his eyes as he walked to sit in front of Redbridge's desk.

"Harry… when…" Harry took off his wedding band and placed it on the table.

"You put a monitoring charm on my ring Caelum… so… you must know what happened to my baby right?" Harry looked up with tears in his eyes. "You're the only one that can help me. Severus doesn't believe me… I think someone severed the connection or something and I want to find out whom." Harry sobbed looking down. Redbridge seemed to believe the whole story.

"Harry… first let me tell you… the monitoring charm was only to observe the process of your soul-mate bond… but the charm didn't alert me of anything happening." He said. Harry nodded wiping his tears away. He hadn't expected to get the confession that quickly.

"Is there any way of finding out?" Harry whispered.

"Harry, you are a very powerful wizard, the most powerful of this generation in fact. I don't believe your child was lost by natural means." He said convinced. Harry looked up at this. The other was either a very good actor or he didn't know he had been the one to cause the loss.

"So then…?"

"If you wish… I will investigate your mediwitch. They are the ones that brew the potion, the ones that come to check on you. Is it alright if I see the child?" Caelum asked. Harry resisted the urge to kill him right there.

"Madame Meriwether took it away… What's the point of having it now anyway?" Harry whispered.

"Well… some parents like to keep the egg, some bury it, weren't you asked?" Caelum asked with a frown. Harry shook his head.

"Well… to be honest I haven't accepted to see anyone but Severus since it happened." Harry whispered. Caelum reached and held his hand gently. Harry looked up and frowned at himself. Why was he starting to believe this man's words? Why was he hesitating in his plan now?

Caelum reached and slipped the ring back on his finger. Harry felt his fingers tingling at the touch of the other. The other stood and came to kneel beside Harry on the chair, holding Harry's hand the way you would kneel before a king.

"I'll help you find out what happened. No one should ever dare lay a hand on the hero of the wizarding world. I will make sure your enemies know that well." Harry felt sick all of a sudden. This was probably how Voldemort's followers spoke to him.

"Tell me anything you find." Harry whispered.

-o-O-o-

Madame Eileen Meriwether finished her report, signing the certificate to register the loss of the child. She stamped it and sent a copy to the ministry and a copy for the parents. She then filed the original and chuckled as she opened the drawer, the perfect peach coloured egg intact and thriving with life.

"Now, sweet little abnormality, let's get you to your new parents." She chuckled wrapping the child up and taking it away.

-o-O-o-

"He really did seem not to know about what happened to the baby." Harry said softly.

"You can't trust him Harry, you can't trust anyone." Narcissa said taking a sip of tea. Harry wasn't in the mood for tea and looked at the fire crackling within the fireplace.

"Do you think I could have my baby back to bury it?" He asked gently.

"Perhaps… though it's been a while… the mediwizards might have disposed of it already." Narcissa said gently. Harry felt his throat clench tightly.

"Like some sort of trash?" Harry whispered tears coming to his eyes. Narcissa put her cup down and came to rub Harry's back gently. "What should I do? I want justice… I want to see whoever's responsible suffer." He sobbed.

"We ask everyone who came in contact with you since you first started carrying."

"So Eileen Meriwether…" Harry whispered wondering if Caelum actually had a point there. "How do we even start?"

"You don't." Harry jumped turning to see Severus standing there looking livid. "Narcissa I thought getting Harry to speak with you would help but not if you're putting crazy vendettas in his head!" He said.

"It's not crazy Sev! My baby didn't die by accident! It was intentional!" Harry exclaimed standing up.

"We can't prove that!"

"Not if we don't investigate!" Harry exclaimed.

"Putting Madame Meriwether under a magnifying glass is not going to help the matter."

"She was the one that said it wasn't due to magic! Then why can't she have something to do with it? If it was natural why do I still feel this horrible stinging sensation? As if my baby was ripped away from me instead of released from the bond?!" Harry cried holding his stomach taking deep breaths and trying to calm down.

"Severus… not everyone called Eileen is trustworthy." Narcissa said. "I think there's something bigger going on here, you can't turn a blind eye to it."

Severus looked from his distraught husband to his friend and back again, reaching to pull Harry into a much needed hug. "We'll investigate… but you won't be getting involved." Severus told Harry.

"Sorry but no, Sev. This is my baby that was taken… I am no longer a child to be kept in the dark in an attempt to 'protect me'." Harry said. Severus frowned ready to argue but decided against it. Shaking his head and just holding Harry close.

"How long have you been feeling the stinging for?" Severus asked.

"Ever since I woke up after Madame Meriwether put me to sleep." Harry whispered.

"Your magic should have recovered by now…" Severus said with a shake to his head.

"We'll figure it out…" Harry whispered.
