John, Jessica, and Chris stood with the minister of magic, looking nervously at the wizarding prison. Fudge kept his face straight, but it was obvious he was nervous. He had large wizards with him as well as the three young wizards. They had met each other at the MoM HQ and were trying to decide who they'd follow when Fudge spotted them and said they'd be coming with him to Azkaban. It just so happens that not only dementors escaped, but so did some death eaters. "So, are you all ready?" asked the old man and they nodded. When they answered, John saw Jessica pull her cloak tighter around her, not that it would have made much of a difference. "I can't believe I came here..." she muttered and looked at Chris, who was looking in great curiousity at the prisoners. "I see you're enjoying yourself." Chris looked at her and shrugged.

"I've heard plenty of stories about Azkaban is all... It's a lot more different than I imagined."

"No dead bodies lying around." answered John with a slight smirk. Chris grinned a bit.

"Yeah, that could be it." Jessica rolled her eyes.

"So, what are we doing here?" she asked, turning to Fudge.

"Questioning the Death eaters that didn't escape." answered the old man as they continued to walk. Chris stopped walking and looked at him in shock.

"Are you crazy!" he announced. They looked at him. "Who knows what kind of killing methods those physcos have picked up from each other."

"He has a point... What if they know wandless magic?" asked John. Fudge looked at the young adults with a slight scowl.

"Wandless magic?" he spat. "You're aurors! Why should you care. Your job is to die trying to protect wizards.... And where'd you get that nonesense about wandless magic?" Jessica scowled a bit, and held her arm out to stop John from getting them into trouble.

"Mr. Weasley told us about wandless magic, if you must know." Fudge made an odd noice and nodded his head as if he knew that was what she was going to say.

"Mr. Weasley doesn't seem to have grown out of his childish ways."

"What's that supposed to mean!" snapped John. Fudge didn't answer, causing John to scowl even more. "What ever. Let's just get this over with."

Fred and George looked around the crowded streets with Sirius. It may have been Christmas, but there was still a chance to see people, such as husbands, out trying to get the gift their wife or kids REALLY wanted but wasn't under the tree. Sirius seemed to be a bit annoyed by the crowds though. "How the hell are we supposed to find dementors in this corwd and make sure no one ends up souless?" he mttered angrily.

"Ah, relax Sirius! That's why we can apparate." said George and looked around to see a bunch of people rushing towards the Quidditch shop. "You know, I'm beginning to think we should have worked today."

"Like Alicia and Angelina would have allowed it." muttered Fred. He looked around and turned to Sirius. "Hey... do you feel that?"

"Feel what?" Fred quickly shook his head.

"Never mind... This whole dementor thing is just messing with my mind." he muttered. Sirius smirked.

"If there's a dementor around, you'll know." he informed. He looked at the younger men from the corner of his eye and noticed the worried looks on their faces. "Don't worry, we'll be going home tonight."

"Who said we weren't?" asked George, his voice slightly shaky. He tugged at him cloak, pulling it tighter to him. "Did you notice how much colder it's gotten? I think we might have been out too long."

"I don't think that's what it is, George." informed Sirius and looked around. "There are dementors near by."

"Brilliant..."

"Where are you going?" Jake looked over his shoulder at his tired cousins, who were looking at him, Jackie and Jordan expectantly. Jake sighed and put the bottle of floo powder down before turning to them fully, a knowing look on his face. "Gran is going to be really upset if she finds out you're going off to help dad and the others." Matt informed.

"Who said we were going to help them out?" asked Jackie, placing her hands on her hips and giving them all stern looks. "We were going to Floo to my house and see what apckages might have arrived there... Then go to Jake and Jordan's to find packages."

"I don't believe you." muttered Mike and Jackie glared at him before reaching into her pocket and pulled out her wand. the kids didn't even flinch.

"We're not scared. We know you can't use magic outside of Hogwarts." informed Kevin, making a face at his sister. Jackie grinned.

"That's what you think twerp. This is mum's wand." Kevin's eyes widened and he looked rxpectantly at Mike and Matt.

"If you go, we want to go." James spoke up, coming from behind the twins and looking at the older kids expectantly. Jordan growled and pointed a finger at the kitchen.

"You guys can't go cuz gran will easily find out what we're up to. If only three of us go, it'll be less obvious."The cousins all argued until an odd sound was heard and they stopped. "Did you hear that?"

"Sounded like an explosion." said Jake and ran over to the window, narrowing his eyes a bit. "Why is the sun risig?" he asked curiously.

"You mean setting?" Jackie corrected, but he shook his head, pointing a shaking finger out the window.

"No, I mean rising." At that moment, Sirius and the others appeared in the room. "Sirius, what's going on?" He shhok his head as the others grabbed things and vanished beofre reappearing. The women walked into the livingroom and looked at them in confusion.

"What are you doing?" asked Angelina, who was obviously still upset. Harry grabbed the jar of floo powder and threw some in while Ron grabbed some more of the gifts under his arms.

"What's going on!" yelled Mrs. Weasley as Fred and George grabbed somepictures off the wall.

"We're under attack." answered George, who was lining the kids up in front of the fireplace. he made James go in first. "Number 12, Grimmauld Place!" he called before the boy vanished. One at a time he sent the kids off.

"You guys stop joking around!" snapped Ginny. "Mum and dad are too old for your stupid jokes." Percy arrived holding a large box.

"Look out the window Ginny! Death eaters are coing right at us!" he announced before vanishing and arriving again. "I'm getting as much as I can from the attic mother!" he announced.

"I'll help!" called Mr. Weasley. The women stood staring in shock.

"Mum, let's go!" called Jordan, but vanished. hermione looked at Ron, who was helping Harry grab hold of the couch.

"Where are they taking everything?" asked Angelina when the two men vanished.

"My house... We're all going there." Sirius answered and looked at them. "Will you be grabbing anything or going to the children?"

"We'll help get as much as we can out the house." answered Penny. Mrs. Weasley soon gasped before conjuring up a large box.

"I've got so much to save!" she screamed and ran into the kitchen. Remus appeared in the room, watching as people vanished in and out.

"I couldn't find Josh or John..." he siad with a sigh before looking out the window, not paying attention to the continuous popping as everyone apparated and disapparated. "How long will that shield hold off the death eaters?"

"Not long enough for all of them to get everything out of this house. We're lucky we had a head start and got out all the kids." Sirius muttered. Remus looked over his shoulder.

"I dunno, they're moving pretty quickly." he said. Sirius looked over his shoulder and saw that the living room was cleared, except the few pictures Fred was throwing into a box he had.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"So, you're Potter and the Weasleys little whelps?" The kids sat silently on the couch Ron and Harry had arrived with. They were in a dark, musty room with a strange old man with an eye larger than the other that was moving widly around- Mad Eye Moody. Jennifer sat closely to Jake, who seemed to be very interested in the man in front of them. "You kids are in more danger than you may ever want to believe." They all blinked.

"What do you mean?" asked Matt bravely. The man chuckled dryly and looked over his shoulder when Mrs. Weasley arrived in the room, holding onto an extremely large box.

"Alastor! Oh thank goodness Sirius found someone responsible to watch the children." she said. He nodded and stood up, offering to help carry her box into the kitchen.

"What do you think Gran packed?" askd Kevin.

"Pictures and her cooking things." answered Jackie and they sat silently, looking around in great curiousity. "Who's house are we in? That crazy eyed guy won't let us even move."

"Who knows, but no one seems to have been here in YEARS." muttered Jake. All at once, there were loud pops as all the others arrived, carrying things. Sirius dropped all his items and pointed his wand at the fireplace, shouting a spell.

"Well... we're all safe." he said nad turned to the wide eyed kids. "Well yong ones, welcome to the honorable house of Black."
