Chapter One: Harry and Ginny: Missing

Everything was quiet, not oddly quiet however. The room was terribly dark, but the veil was still in sight. Harry felt Ginny's hand close around his hand; the one without his wand in it. He could hear her breathing, which sounded afraid.

"Hold on Ginny." Harry said very quietly. They inched closer to the veil, holding their breath. "Something doesn't seem right."

A sound like the swishing of a cloak whipped from behind them, and Ginny screamed as she turned around in the darkness. Harry tried to put her hand over her mouth, but it was too late.

The swishing sound circled around the room, faster than the speed of light, but so loud Harry couldn't hear Ginny anymore.

Evil laughter interrupted, and the swishing cloak started to circle around the veil. Harry could see it now. It spun faster and faster around the veil, the laughter getting louder and louder, then, the veil disappeared, as well as the swishing cloak. The laughter died down.

"I knew you'd fall for it again." said a hissing voice in Harry's ear.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Harry shouted, but the laughing voice was so loud now he couldn't hear what spell he had shot. All he knew was that red light had shot out the end of his wand.

"Ohh! Look at the cute little Weasley!" Mrs. Weasley exclaimed happily. Ron and Hermione beamed. Their child was only a few minutes old.

"We have another grandson!" said Arthur Weasley. He was talking from the fire. He wasn't able to arrive from his Minister of Magic duties, so he talked to them through the fire.

"I'm so happy!" Mrs. Weasley said, starting to cry.

"Aw, mum, no need to go crying!" said George.

"It's just such a shame that Harry and Ginny couldn't make it." she sobbed.

"That is odd." said Ron. "V-V..."

"Voldemort." said Hermione.

"Right. He had disappeared for a little while. They should have been able to arrive."

Arthur Weasley shook his head. "Errr....." Every head in the room snapped towards the fire at him.

"Errr what?" asked Mrs. Weasley.

"Well..." Mr. Weasley seemed to get nervous. "We lost track of Harry and Ginny a while ago- I was going to save it until all the happiness was done!" he added quickly. Ron and Hermione's happy faces turned panic stricken.

"Where were they last?" Hermione burst out, getting up from her bed without realizing it.

"They... they..." Mr. Weasley stumbled. "They were entering the Ministry of Magic from the lift. I knew they had urgent business to discuss, but then they just disappeared. I'm sure the lift had been bewitched for them."

"Is it still bewitched?" asked Ron.

His father shook his head. "We checked the lift up and down. No curses, hexes, spells. Nothing."

There was a terrible silence in the room, as Hermione stared at her baby. Then she grabbed Ron's arm.

"Ron, he have to leave. Now." she was pulling him towards the door, while everyone else, taken aback by the sudden outburst, didn't know what to do.

"Hermione, dear, wait!" Mrs. Weasley said, grasping Hermione by the shoulder. "What about the baby?"

Hermione had a plan. In short gasps from trying to hurry, she told her parents-in-law they must watch after the baby while they left. Fred and George said they'd help.

"No experiments on the baby." Their mother said darkly.

Hermione smiled at them all, told them not to worry and that everything was going to be alright, and whisked her husband out the door and into the streets.

It was pouring rain as the married couple walked up to their house on the top of the hil. It was a very nice house. The Weasleys were quite rich now, especially Fred and George, but Ron and Hermione preferred to keep their house nice and comfy, instead of filled with all the proof they had so much money.

They held hands as they walked up the stone steps, not bothering to produce a spell to keep them dry. Lightning flashed in the distance and thunder rolled above the house. Ron clumsily tried to get out his keys as the rain fell down even harder.

"What a day to rain." Hermione said as Ron opened the door. "Two friends are missing. I should have known it would rain."

Ron, the husband, didn't say anything at all as he dropped the keys on the table in their house. He watched Hermione hand up her coat, dry it with her wand, then dry herself. When she was all back to normal and so was he, he took his wife's hand and said, "So, what's the plan?"
