Ginny put the three gifts she'd brought from the jewellery shop in the bag
containing the robes.
She noticed Dream talking to someone on her cell phone and sighed.
Maybe she'd just go have a coffee while she waited for her.
Ginny walked back towards the cafe where she and Dream had been before, thinking.
Who was the guy she was going to see tomorrow?
Ginny sat down outside the cafe and thought about what was going to happen tomorrow with the important meeting.
She ordered herself a coffee and watched Dream still talk on her cell phone.
If she was honest Ginny really wanted to see Harry to explain her self.
But how could she be sure that it was Harry she saw tomorrow?
Ginny sighed and saw Dream finish her phone call.
"Who were you talking to?" asked Ginny as Dream sat down at the table.
"Just my agent." said Dream, "he just reminded me we've got a meeting in the morning."
"Oh right." said Ginny.
"Get anything interesting?" asked dream.
"You'll have to wait won't you?" smiled Ginny.
Harry entered the large dining room and saw a beautiful woman sat near the window surrounded by five members of her committee.
She had long raven hair and entrancing golden eyes. She was dressed in a fur-lined cloak and a long sleeved dress with a low cut v-neck.
"Ah Mister Potter." smiled the woman.
Harry approached the table as the other five occupants got to their feet and left the room.
"Mrs Feral." said Harry.
"Nice to meet you." greeted Adele, "please sit down Mister Potter and call me Adele."
Harry smiled weakly as he sat down opposite her.
"On behalf of Russia I would like to say what an honour it is to have you her," said Adele.
"Er thank you," said Harry.
"Also I would like to volunteer my ministry to help you find you know how," said Mrs feral.
"Thank you I'm sure but how do I know you know who is here?" asked Harry.
"Oh we've had many kidnappings during the last five weeks and the dark mark has been seen flying over a number of houses in Moscow." explained Mrs feral.
"Oh right." said Harry.
"Also so I have many Aurors around looking for any unusual activity," said Adele.
"Thanks for the offer I'm sure but Cornelius fudge already has a plan," said Harry.
"Please explain," said Adele looking somewhat intrigued.
"See there is this family I know who have a younger daughter. Minister Fudge is under some impression that she has a special form of wandless magic. He thinks that when myself and the woman join together we will be able to stop he who must not be named," explained Harry.
"Interesting. Tell me who is this woman?" asked Adele running her index finger around the edge of her glass.
"Er Miss Virginia Weasley." said Harry shifting uncomfortably in his seat.
"Ginny?" asked Adele.
"Yes. Do you know her?" asked Harry.
"Of course I know her. She's my niece," said Mrs Feral.
"I'm sorry I don't see the resemblance," said Harry.
"She's my niece by marriage, Mister Potter. My step daughter Dream is very close with her and my nephew Ronald." smiled Adele.
"Yeah I was close to her too," sighed Harry.
"Really? How close?" asked Adele.
Harry was about to answer when his cell phone rung.
Harry picked it out his pocket and answered the call.
"Hello?" asked Harry.
"Harry its Cornelius. We have a lead on Ginny's whereabouts," said Cornelius.
Harry gestured an excusing from the table and walked towards the door of the dining room.
"Well?" asked Harry.
"She is coming to the set up meeting to morrow and everything is set up for it. You'll meet her in the lobby of the hotel and talk in her room." said Fudge.
"Right. Will she be alone?" asked Harry.
"Undoubtedly. Her cousin Tyne is in Tyumen at the moment and won't be back till two days after boxing day." said Fudge.
"Right, thanks." said Harry.
"And Harry be careful." said the minister in a warning tone.
"Of course. I always Am." said Harry before the minister hung up.
He turned to re enter the dining hall when the cell phone vibrated in his hand while his ring tone echoed around the empty foyer.
Harry paused before answering the call.
"Hello Daddy it's me Phoenix." came his daughter's voice.
Harry smiled as he sat down on a couch.
"Hello Phoenix." said Harry in his fatherly tone.
"I'm so sorry daddy. I didn't mean to hurt you. I just wanted a normal Christmas with you and uncle Ron and aunt Hermione," explained Phoenix.
"I'm really sorry too Phoenix. I wish I could have stayed home with you and Owen. I'll bring you back something from Russia." promised Harry.
He heard Phoenix giggle.
"Thank you daddy." said phoenix.
"So you having fun with Aunt Hermione and uncle Ron?" asked Harry.
"Yeah it's great. Uncle Ron's teaching all of us to fly." said Phoenix.
"That's great Phoenix. We can play quidditch when I get back." smiled Harry.
He heard a clicking of high heels and remembered where he was.
"I'd like that daddy. Can I play seeker?" asked Phoenix.
"Sure. Just a one on one between the two of us." said Harry.
He listened as Phoenix tried to coax Owen onto the phone.
He looked up and saw Mrs Feral standing over him.
Harry covered the mouthpiece and mouthed 'it's my children'.
Adele nodded in understanding and went back into the restaurant.
"Come on Owen! Talk to him!" exclaimed Phoenix.
"No I'm still mad at him," said Owen.
"Owen I want to talk to you...now." said Harry.
Harry heard his son sigh while taking the phone from his sister.
"I'm sorry I had to leave over Christmas Owen, I really am but it's a matter I can't avoid," said Harry placing his words carefully.
"That's what you always say." claimed Owen.
"I know but this is important. If I don't deal with this everyone in the world will die," said Harry.
Owen went quiet.
"Owen?" asked Harry.
"I'm here," said Owen, his tone becoming friendlier.
"I really am sorry," said Harry.
"I know dad. I am too," said Owen.
"Anyway I have to go, but I'll call you later tonight," said Harry.
"Ok dad. Bye." said Owen before Harry heard the tone.
Harry put the cell phone back in his pocket before walking back into the restaurant.
"I'm so sorry about that. But a lot of conflict has been going on between me and my children since I had to come here on Christmas day." apologised Harry sitting back down at the table.
"Hey it's OK I completely understand," said Adele.
"So how's your family life?" asked Harry.
"Oh a bit strained. But when your a minister it's always going to be that way." said Adele.
She noticed Dream talking to someone on her cell phone and sighed.
Maybe she'd just go have a coffee while she waited for her.
Ginny walked back towards the cafe where she and Dream had been before, thinking.
