Chapter 21 Taken

Two months passed without any problems. Draco was really starting to enjoy his teaching position, and the prospect of finding someone else to take the position was long forgotten. It was the middle of March and Harry had contacted Draco and asked him to meet in Hogsmeade for drinks. Draco consented since it had been since Christmas since the two had seen each other, and it would be nice to get away from grading essays.

Draco walked into the Three Broomsticks and immediately found Harry who was seated at a table in the far left corner of the pub. Draco headed over and sat down across from Harry.

"Long time no see," Harry commented in greeting.

"Yeah I know, I've been so busy preparing the fifth years for O.W.L.s and the seventh years for N.E.W.T.s and teaching and grading the other years," Draco stated, "I never thought I would enjoy it as much as I do though."

"Is this the part where I should say I told you so?" Harry joked with a smirk.

"Shut it Potter," Draco replied and Harry couldn't help but laugh, "So how have you been?"

"I've been doing well. It's been kind of dull at the Auror office for the past couple weeks. There haven't been any big crimes in the Wizarding world or any dark wizards to chase," Harry stated, "Which is a good thing in general, but boring for me because it means I'm stuck doing paperwork back in my office."

"Oh you poor man, I can't imagine how awful it must be! Forced to do paperwork! Jeez, it should be illegal!" Draco stated sarcastically.

"Oh wow…a sense of humor. I think I liked it better when you weren't aware of what sarcasm was," Harry replied with a laugh.

"Very funny Potter," Draco stated while rolling his eyes, "So how was the rest of your Christmas? I imagine it included a lot less drama after you left my house."

"Yeah it was a pretty drama-less Christmas. I can't claim it was dull though. When we all get together at the Burrow there are a million of us, so chaos is bound to happen," Harry replied.

"I can only imagine!" Draco replied with a laugh.

"Well Scorpius is pretty close with Rose and Albus. Next year I'm sure I could score you and Scorpius an invite," Harry offered.

"I don't know about that….having me and Ron Weasley in the same room just might be the start of World War III," Draco replied seriously.

"Which would admittedly be very entertaining for the rest of us," Harry replied cheekily.

"Ha. Ha. Ha…I don't think so Potter," Draco stated.

"So how was the rest of your Christmas? I know you said something about taking Scorpius over to Malfoy Manor while your father was at the Ministry for his meeting," Harry asked.

"Well Scorpius and I went over and my mother and I began giving him the tour. We were in my room when the sound went off informing us that someone was at the gates. It was Astoria, and she came to try and persuade my mother into testifying that I wasn't a good father. My mother of course shot her down and she left angrily. Then a little fight occurred between Scorpius and I when I accidentally let it slip that Astoria is fighting for custody of him. Scorp ran off and of course we had trouble finding him because the manor is massive and he has no idea where he is going," Draco explained, "Then Scorp ran into my father who had returned home early from the ministry."

"What did your father do? I can only assume he holds a grudge against Scorpius for being in Gryffindor," Harry stated.

"You'd think…but he was oddly civil. He offered a truce to me saying that if I come around with Scorpius more often for my mother's sake, he would be civil and wouldn't bring up any blood purity issues," Draco replied.

"What? Are we talking about the same Lucius Malfoy?" Harry asked in shock.

"My thoughts exactly! He didn't even lose it when Scorpius told him about being best friends with your two sons and the Weasley girl," Draco replied, his voice clearly showing the shock that both men felt.

"What do you think the change of heart was about?" Harry asked.

"I have my suspicions…I think my mother either threatened or blackmailed him," Draco replied, "And there is one thing I've always known about my father and that is that he does love my mother. He will do anything for her, including not sending me to Durmstrang even though he really wanted me to go there."

"That sounds like a very plausible reason then," Harry replied.

"Yeah…you know my son would give anything to have a family like yours. He wants the million cousins and aunts and uncles. He doesn't want just my mother and father and I," Draco stated.

"I mean he does have a cousin…or second cousin technically and he does have an aunt," Harry replied.

"What?" Draco asked confused.

"Teddy Lupin and Andromeda Tonks," Harry replied, "Surely you know your mother had two sisters. One obviously being Bellatrix and the other being Andromeda."

"Oh…yeah I knew that. I guess I just forgot because Andromeda was outcast from our family," Draco replied with a sigh, "I will definitely have to try and get in contact with them. It would make Scorp so happy to meet other family members. I wonder where they live…"

"Teddy lives in a muggle apartment in London and Mrs. Tonks lives at the Burrow with the Weasleys. She was all alone after Teddy grew up and Mrs. Weasley hated that her house was so empty without any of her children. So naturally Mrs. Weasley offered Mrs. Tonks a house that would provide pleasant company," Harry replied.

"Oh…so you know them both well?" Draco asked.

"Yeah, Teddy is my godson. I practically raised him," Harry replied.

"Of course he is," Draco replied with a laugh.

"And what exactly do you mean by that?" Harry asked pretending to be insulted.

Before Draco could answer an owl flew in the open window next to them and landed in front of Draco. Draco pulled the letter off of the owl's leg and then the owl flew off. The letter had the Hogwarts seal on it, so Draco quickly opened it hoping that his son was not in trouble again.

Dear Mr. Malfoy,

Your presence is requested at the school immediately in regards to your son.

Headmistress Minerva McGonagall

"I have to go…I don't know what this is all about, but it can't be good," Draco said, standing up and putting on his jacket.

"I hope everything is okay," Harry stated, "Owl me and let me know when you can meet me again."

Before Draco could respond another owl flew in through the window. This one landed in front of Harry.

Dear Mr. Potter,

Your help as a trained Auror is needed at the school in regards to a student. Please come as soon as possible.

Headmistress Minerva McGonagall

"It looks like I will be joining you at the school," Harry stated, getting up and putting on his jacket as well.

"If they need your help this really can't be good," Draco replied his worry for his son doubling.

The two quickly made their way up to Hogwarts with out talking. After what seemed like hours for the two worried men they were finally up in the Headmistresses office. When they entered they were surprised to see Albus, Rose, and Professor Longbottom but no sign of Scorpius.

"What's going on Professor McGonagall?" Draco asked, too nervous to sit down in one of the chairs in front of her desk.

"I don't know how to really state this Draco…but your son is missing. Albus and Rose went to Professor Longbottom here to tell him that Scorpius never showed up for dinner. The whole castle has been searched and there is no sign of him," Professor McGonagall stated.

Draco stood there in shock, literally not moving an inch. Harry leapt into Auror mode and knelt down before his son and niece while Neville attempt to get Draco to sit down.

"When was the last time you saw Scorpius?" Harry asked.

"Before dinner…he said he was going to run to the library to drop off a book in the library and then meet us in the Great Hall," Rose explained, "He never showed up."

"Have you noticed anything suspicious or has he mentioned anything worrying lately?" Harry asked.

"No…er-well," Albus stuttered.

"Well what Al?" Harry asked giving his son his full attention.

"A couple months ago he told us the he overheard his mom talking with Professor Parkinson in her office. They were planning something that would be made difficult because Mr. Malfoy is a teacher here," Albus explained looking at his shoes, "We have all been spying on Professor Parkinson for the past couple months…but nothing suspicious has happened."

"And you never thought to tell anyone else about this?" Harry asked, "Especially Draco?"

"We wanted to…but Scorpius had us promise not to…" Rose replied for Albus.

"Do you think your wife would kidnap your son?" Harry asked turning towards Draco.

"I have no question in my mind that she would," Draco replied, "Astoria wants to get revenge on me in any way she can and she knows that Scorpius is my life."

"Any ideas as to where she would take him?" Harry asked.

"No…I have no idea," Draco replied putting his head into his hands.

"Okay well our next step is to get Pansy," Harry replied refusing to fall into the defeated state that Draco was currently in, "She clearly had something to do with this."

Hope you enjoyed it! Please make my day and review!
