Upon hearing a squeal from the upstairs, Agent Starr Bright ran to see what was happening. If something had happened to Mrs. Malfoy on her watch, it would be a sure way to get her fired. Running into the room where Ginny was, she saw Mrs. Malfoy on the floor, and a piece of white parchment on the floor beside her.

"Mrs. Malfoy! Mrs. Malfoy!" Starr said. "Wake up!"

Ginny's eyes fluttered open. She was confused at first, but when she saw Starr, and the piece of parchment beside her, she remembered.

"Damn you." She said angrily.

Starr was taken aback. What had she done to get such a harsh reaction out of Mrs. Malfoy?

"Excuse me?"

"Read the note." Ginny said angrily, shoving it in Starr's face.

Ginny, it read

They have not been telling us everything. It's been so long that she's been gone, and I can't stand it. I've gone to look for Kari, and I won't come back until I've found her.

Don't worry,

Draco

"And this is my fault?" Starr said. "Please tell me how."

"If you'd have told us everything…"

"And lost my job? There's a good idea." Starr replied sarcastically. "It's not my fault your husband can't contain himself and ran away!"

Ginny's jaw dropped and she did the first thing that came to mind.

She slapped Starr.

Before Starr could react, there was a sound of crashing china coming from downstairs. She glared at Ginny before taking off.

Ginny, having no other choice, followed Starr to see what was going on. In the basement was a flood of people, all with cameras flashing at random intervals. When the people saw them, a great buzzing of noise followed.

"Missus Malfoy! Missus Malfoy! Can you tell us what happened?"

Ginny's face was pale. She'd never had to deal with so many reporters. Dealing with Calli Carter had been enough, and now there were all these people.

"Ginny will not be answering any questions at this time." Starr said firmly. "You will wait for a press conference, and in the meantime, get off her private property."

Ginny looked at Starr with a new type of respect. Then…

"Agent Bright, Agent Bright! What do you have to say to the news that your sister has been abducted?"

"Excuse me?" Starr asked. Here she hadn't even talked to her sister since two Christmases ago, and she had apparently given information and been kidnapped.

"You mean they didn't tell you?" Starr could hear the clicks and flashes of cameras as pictures were taken, and the scratch of quills as the news was written down. Oh that was brilliant, Starr, just brilliant.

Suddenly a very composed voice said behind them, quietly and coldly,

"Did you not hear the woman? She asked you to leave. Do so." Ginny and Starr spun around to see Harry Potter standing behind them. More cameras clicked until Ronald Weasley appeared and gave the reporters some very colorful quotes to use in their story. They Apparated out of there very quickly when Harry threatened to call in the Aurors.

"Harry! Ron!" Ginny said, running up to give them a hug. She saw a glare directed at her from the corner as a very jealous Patty came out.

"Hello Patricia." Ginny said coldly. Harry sighed as he watched the exchange between his wife and one of his best friends.

"Ginny." She replied stiffly.

"Come on you two, can't you behave for three minutes?" Harry asked in exasperation. Patricia had refused to believe that Ginny wasn't completely in love with Harry, and Harry wasn't in love with Ginny, until Ginny had finally sat her down and told her so in very plain language. And then Patricia had been angry that Ginny didn't seem to find her husband as attractive as he so obviously was. Ginny was frustrated with the whole situation, and didn't visit Harry much in order to avoid his horrid wife.

"Why are you here, Harry? Ron?"

"We heard about Kari, Gin. We're sorry."

The door slammed, and Blossom walked in.

"What the hell is this?" Ginny asked under her breath. "Return of the old gang week? Where's Hermione?"

"She's going to have her baby soon, and Percy didn't want her traveling all this way."

"Ah. Such a loving older brother." Ginny said sarcastically.

"Oh, come on, Gin. Be happy that we're here." Blossom said with a smile.

"How happy would you be, Bloss, if your daughter was kidnapped?"

A flash of pain crossed Blossom's face.

Ginny didn't notice. She turned to Harry.

"And why did you bring her along? Did you not think my life was already hard enough? Why not add in someone who hates me for good measure?"

Patricia stared at her, hurt. She hadn't really thought that Ginny had taken the whole fighting thing so seriously.

"Ginny, I…" Patricia began before Ginny cut her off.

"Save it, Patricia. I really don't want to hear your jealousy issues."

Patricia stuck her nose in the air, and Ginny was about to open her mouth to make a rude comment before Blossom said,

"Gin, maybe we can go and talk? Alone?" she said, shooting a look at Starr and Patricia.

"Yeah. Sounds great." Ginny said. Ron looked around.

"Where is Draco?"

"Here." Ginny said, handing him the note.

----------

Ginny laughed. Blossom was the only one who had so far been able to cheer her up. As Blossom had pointed out, she couldn't be miserable all the time. While she should be worried for Kari, yes, she also couldn't give up her life.

"Besides, Gin, I'm sure the people who took her will bring her back soon." She had finished. Ginny nodded, wiping the tears away. And then Blossom had brought up some old funny memories and they had spent a little while laughing at them.

Ginny, however, had neglected to tell Blossom that Draco had gone to look for Kari. For some reason, she didn't feel that the information needed to be shared with Blossom.

Suddenly, Blossom stood, a look of fear on her face.

"He's going to be back soon. I need to go." Blossom said, before Apparating. Ginny didn't even have a chance to say goodbye.

----------

"The bastard!" Ron growled, walking into Ginny's room. "He left. What a complete and utter…"

"Ron! Watch your mouth!" Patty said. Ron raised his eyebrows, but said nothing. He looked at his little sister.

"Ginny. Come back with us. Just until they find Kari. You're not going to school anyway. There's nothing keeping you here."

"I…. What if she comes back, Ron?"

"What if she doesn't, Gin? You're hurting yourself by staying."

"I am not. I have to stay. What if…" she stopped. She turned away. Harry walked over to look at Ginny.

"What, Gin?" he asked softly. She looked up at him.

"What if she comes back and no one is here? I need to stay here." She said firmly. Harry looked at Ron and nodded.

"Then we'll stay with you." Ron said boldly. Ginny looked at him.

"Don't be an idiot. You all have work you have to do."

"But, Gin…"

"No. I'll be fine. Go."

Of course, the people being her older brother, and someone who was like her older brother, they didn't listen to her. They stayed where they were, and Ginny glared at them all in annoyance.

---------------------

Draco Malfoy, hero extraordinaire, quietly slunk through the dark and damp sewers near his home. Those stupid idiots weren't accomplishing anything, and Draco was annoyed. Maybe not the best decision to go off on his own, but he had been annoyed, and he wouldn't return until he had found his daughter.

"Oh, what a waste of time. And this is so dirty!" Draco said before deciding to look for his daughter in a much easier way. He coughed. What was the better way? A Malfoy family secret, of course.

Kari wore a necklace that Draco had given her on her second birthday. It was a useful tracking device, but he had not used it before, because it could have been dangerous to Kari and him if he were to use it. But he was desperate. Collecting his thoughts, Draco spoke the words of the spell.

--------------------

Kelsey sat in the darkness. She had ropes tied around her wrists, and the man had taken her wand when he kidnapped her. In fact, she was pretty sure that she had heard him snap it in half.

"This isn't fun anymore." A voice whined. She strained her eyes to see who was talking.

"Who's there?" She asked cautiously.

"I'm Kari. Who are you?"

"Karissa? Is that you? Oh, your mom and dad are so worried about you!"

"Mommy and Daddy?" the voice asked. Kari moved closer to Kelsey.

"I wanna go home." She whispered secretively. Kelsey nodded.

"D'you think you could… untie these ropes for me?" Kelsey asked. Kari looked at her uncertainly.

"Auntie might get mad."

"Don't worry, sweetie. I'll take you back to your mommy and daddy if you do this."

"You will? And they can take me to see Auntie Mione and Auntie Luna? And Uncle Ron and Uncle Harry?"

"Yes. I'm sure they will. But you have to untie me first, Kari."

"I don't know…"

"Remember me, Kari? You gave me that pretty crest?"

"Kelsey?"

"Exactly!" Kelsey responded excitedly. Privately, Kelsey was thinking, Thank God.

Karissa untied the ropes, and suddenly there was a blinding flash of light. Kelsey picked up something off the ground, and was surprised to see it was a wand. The flash of light had brought the man running, and when he saw what the flash had brought, his face changed into a mask filled with hatred.

"You…"

-----------------

Oooh, who could he be talking to? No, not Kelsey.
I had something to say, but I don't remember… so I'm just going to leave…
You know, just because I say 'three reviews until I update' doesn't mean if you read it you shouldn't review ;). But, I'm not going to comment any more about that.
Hopefully, tomorrow I'll be getting my driver's license (like two and a half years late!)… the driving test… scary…
Well, I'm going to go worry about that while watching the season finale of Charmed (like a month late... thank goodness for reruns on TNT).

And I've decided that naming the chapters "Chapter One", etc. is no fun. So I'm going to be looking through the chapters and renaming them. Yay!

And, Ang3l666, don't you hate stupid computers? I know I do... And I hadn't thought of having them kidnap him... Oh well. But keep in mind that I still have this story under the "romance" category, so Draco and Ginny probably (hint hint) won't be fighting the entire time, and you won't be sad. Because that would be sad, and then it would be no fun...
