*Hi everybody! Lisa is writing again. You know what the disclaimer is so please tell me that I don't have to write it. Anyways, sorry this chapter took so long to put up. Read on!*
Arthur weasley stood with his mouth wide open for a moment or so before he started mumbling to himself, "How could this happen? I thought we had agreed to be fair to each other." He closed his mouth and scowled at his wife with mixed confusion and anger. "Arthur Weasley, don't look at me like that!" snapped Mrs. Weasley. She then began to explain what had happened and just why there were two extra children in the kitchen at the moment.
After about ten minutes, she had given her husband the exact details of what had happened, at least, what she knew. Suddenly, her eyes filled and she swayed. Arthur caught her as she fell unbalanced to the floor. She began to sob hysterically into his shoulder, "Why? Why did it have to be Anna and Jack?!? They didn't deserve it!" By the time that Arthur had calmed Mrs. Weasley down, he had lost all his feelings of confusion and anger. Melonie was trying to get out of her highchair, without success, and Juliet was sitting quietly in her chair, looking quite bored. Fred and George were staring at Melonie with awe and percy had a look on his face of complete shock. "So what are we to do to help them?" Molly asked her husband. "The best we can do is bring them to Dumbledore. No doubt he'll know what to do," he replied.
Suddenly, they all heard a loud THUMP and looked to the two girls. Melonie had finally succeeded in wriggling out of her chair and had fallen out of it onto the floor. She stood up, wobbling, dusted off her nightshirt, and pranced over (the two already knew how to walk) to Mrs. Weasley with open arms. Mrs. Weasley picked up the little girl and Mr. Weasley ruffled Melonie's dark brown hair. Juliet glared at all of them with a look of complete dismay, rolled her eyes, and pushed the latch of the highchair to enable her to slide out of it. She too plopped down to the floor. She stood up and looked at open-mouthed Fred and George with a "Ha!" look on her small face. Little Ron glowered at her with a stare that too plainly said, "Just do one more thing…" Juliet rolled her eyes once again, thinking, "Just try it, buddy…" Mr. Weasley then picked her up, sighed, amazed, and took a look at his wife, who would not stop playing with Melonie for another twenty minutes. Therefore, Mr. Weasley began to play with dear Juliet. She loved it so much that her laughter rose over the height of Melonie's, which made Melonie very jealous. The two started to make faces at each other and tried to plan hideous ideas for each other, until they suddenly had a wave of sleepiness pass over them and sat on the rug to curl up and go to sleep. (We slept a lot, huh?)
Sunset, later that night…
"Good luck," Mr. Weasley whispered to Molly as he held the door slightly open for her to pass. She smiled. If she made good time, she would be at Hogwarts by sunrise. She checked that Melonie and Juliet were settled in their basket before she began to sprint off into the distance. She had had an invisibility spell placed upon her and the girls for safety of unworthy night visitors since she did not own an invisibility cloak. She sighed and continued on her long journey.
Five hours later…
Molly had gotten to a train station that had a train that would be passing Hogwarts on its journey to Numadia. She hopped to the back of the train, unseen, as she heard the engineer yell, "All aboard!" She held her breath as the train's wheels screeched forward. Smoke rose around her and she coughed quietly as she worried for Melonie and Juliet. However, she needn't have worried for the two girls were sleeping peacefully in their basket. The train roared and set off towards it's destination. Mrs. Weasley had a tight grip on the back of the train for fear of falling off of the fast moving engine. She then waited for the long arrival of her old school to come in place.
About two hours later…
The train was only one or two miles away from Hogwarts when Mrs. Weasley hopped off the back of it. She began to stride quickly across the wet ground (as it had rained) as quietly as she possibly could. She could smell the enriched aroma of dew forming on the blades of grass and hurried to reach Hogwarts, as she knew someone would notice that the air seemed to shift in daylight.
Just as Hogwarts came into view, she heard soft, quiet voices whispering from somewhere in the distance. Her entire body shook with fear and she made sure that the invisibility cloak was covering both her and the girls. She then spotted two hazy forms moving around quite close to her. She stopped in her tracks and dove under a bush as the whites of the two (she could now tell) mens' eyes came into her view. "How could this happen!!!??? We were supposed to have both couples and children gone by now!!!" a voice snarled. Mrs. Weasley gasped, but then smothered it as one of the men looked curiously at her hiding spot. "Master, I am so very sorry. I didn't think it would hap…" the other voice quietly said, sounding nervous. "Shut up! Everyone thinks that I've perished, which is the only thing that is good to me, but I've lost all my powers, or at least my strength. I can't believe three children escaped from my grasp! I can handle the young potter, but how am I going to get hose girls so that I can have the other two crystals? Hmmm…" he began to think. "Um… excuse me master, but…" the other voice tore into the thinking man's thoughts. "SHHHHH!!!!!" the one man cried then lowered his voice, "I have a plan. Come…" He placed his arm around the other man's shoulders and set off, away from Mrs. Weasley. Once she no longer heard the soft footsteps of the strangers, she crawled out from under the bush and as her green eyes flashed with fury and fear, she whispered, "He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named never perished…" She heard a bit of movement inside the basket, looked inside to find the girls wide eyed with curiosity, and began to run towards the castle.
After several minutes, she reached Hogwarts' doors and rushed in to find Severus Snape glaring at her with a suspicious look. She silently returned the look and he turned and moved on down the corriders. When he was out of her sight, she rushed over to the stone gargoyle and muttered the password, "Lemon Drops!" The gargoyle sprand away, leaving the spiral staircase, on what she clambered onto. When she finally reached Dumbledore's office's door, she reached out to knock sharply on it, however found herself looking into the glowing eyes of Dumbledore himself. "Come in, Molly. You must need something important for coming all this way," he murmured quietly to her, soothing some of her tense nerves. She briskly walked in and planted herself on a wooden chair in the middle of the room. She looked around the office, interested, and saw the old Sorting Hat. "How long it's been…" she thought lazily. She then turned her attention back to Dumbledore when he sat down at his desk. She opened her mouth to start explaining but then decided it would be easier to just shjw, as her throat wasn't quite working right at the moment. She let the blanket fall off the basket, which she had moved onto her lap. The two girls looked around the room intently and then focused their eyes on Dumbledore, who had his eyebrows raised and his eyes sparkling. "Well…" Dumbledore began. "Well…" he repeated, "We're in quite a position." Molly relaxed. She had thought he might be a bit angry for a moment there. She took to explaining things in the minutes after. Finally, when she had come to what she had heard on the way, she stopped and took a long, deep breath. " I had a feeling he wasn't gone. Lily and James were also… well…" Dumbledore said, looking at Molly sadly. Molly shook her head, "How could this happen?" Dumbledore reached out and patted her on the shoulder. "I'll find an arrangement for the girls. You have done so much to bring them here. Go on home. I'll have some floo powder for you to use to get there." Molly stood up and said, "Thank you so much." She then walked out of the office, leaving Dumbledore to absorb all the information that had been passed onto him that night. He sighed and then looked at Juliet and Melonie, "You are sure lucky to be living in this unusual generation." He began to think of all the things that had to be done. "Lily and James, Anna and Jack… what am I to do?"
