New Resolutions II
Chapter 17- Vanished
By: Abbie Snape
He sat in the darkest corner of the room with a photo gripped tightly in his hand. His eyes were glowing with an unfamiliar blackness that hadn't shown itself before. This time he had no control over it.
"Harry?"
Harry lifted his eyes but for a brief second before looking back down. "Yes?"
Leah walked into the room and pulled the curtain opening, letting sunlight shine into the room. Harry glared at her as she sat across from him.
"You received a letter," she said handing him an envelope.
"I swear if it is from Noah, I will strangle him…" he muttered to himself. Noah had sent him practically five letters everyday about what was happening at the Ministry since he took sometime off. He really didn't want to know what was going on. He missed Thomas too much to care.
"From him?" asked Leah.
"No…it's from the twins. Fred and George."
"What do they want?" she asked.
"Wants to know if we will come by the shop and see what we think of their new inventions. I swear, they still think of me as part owner. Ever since I gave them that money…" said Harry, muttering that last bit to himself.
"We should go. I know the girls would love to see what they have come up with. Not to mention, it will do good for all of us to get out of this house," she said.
Leah looked at Harry strangely for a moment. She noted that his hair wasn't the same color, it looked more like a slightly ashen color that it's normal raven black. Her eyes scanned his face, and came in sight of his own eyes, those weren't the same color either, the old emerald happiness was leaving slowly she could tell, the gleam gone. He missed Thomas so much...but so did she and neither of them had the time to sulk on something that obviously wasn't meant to be...
"Its weird," said Harry suddenly. "I haven't felt like this since I thought I would never see you again."
"Harry," began Leah walking toward him.
"Forget it Le Le. I'll go get the kids ready to go to the shop," he said walking past her.
Leah watched as he left the room. She didn't know how she could help him when he didn't want to be helped. Or when she didn't even know how to help herself.

"Uncle Fred! Uncle George!" squealed the twins running to the two of them.
"Hey little trouble makers," said Fred hugging Lily.
"Have anything for us?" asked Jordan to George.
"Jorie!" said Leah giggling.
"Now…what would we be if we didn't have anything for the two of you?" said Jordan.
"Why don't you two head to the back room with Allie and see what is back there," said Fred, smiling.
It didn't take the twins long before they disappeared out of the room.
"Now…what did the two of you want to show me?" asked Harry throwing his cloak over the counter.
"Nothing."
"Nothing?" asked Leah.
"Right," said George.
"Then why the letter?" asked Harry.
"Because all of you-"
"Need to get out of that house-"
"You had become a prisoner in-"
"And live again," finished Fred.
Both Leah and Harry gave a little smile. They both agreed that they did need to get out of the house and it would be the twins that would get them to do that.
And for the first time in those past couple days, they both were laughing again. But it didn't last for long. In the middle of one of Fred's jokes, Harry suddenly began to dig in this pants pocket for something.
"Harry? What are you doing?" asked Leah.
He didn't answer her until he found what he was looking for. It was the raven feather that he kept in his pocket. Suddenly, Leah felt it too.
"Harry…what's going on?" she asked feeling it burn.
"I don't know…" he said. "Unless it is Thomas."
"How did…wait…you gave him a one?" asked Leah.
"Yes…before he went back with his parents. I told him if they did anything to him to hold it in his hands until it got warm," said Harry.
"Maybe something is happening to him," suggested George.
Harry or Leah didn't have time to answer before a scream from the back room sent fear through all of them.
"The twins, Allie," said Leah, running between the shelves, heading toward the back of the shop with Harry, Fred, and George right behind her.
Leah let out a little scream at the sight of the room. Chairs were turned over, some of the things were broken, and Allie was in the corner, frozen by a stunner. Fred ran over to her, muttering a reviler spell.
"Allie…are you okay?" he asked sitting her up right.
"Lils, Jorie…they took them," she said shaking.
Both Leah and Harry looked at each other at the same time.
"Who took them honey?" asked George looking at Leah and Harry.
"I don't know. They had a black hood on them," she said.
"Death Eaters," muttered Leah
"How did they know we were going to be here!" snapped Harry going toward the opened door and looking out on to the road.
Leah kept repeating the word "no" as George held her. It seemed that he was the only thing that kept her from falling to the ground.
"Aunt Le Le," said Allie quietly.
"Yes baby?" she asked looking at her.
"Jorie said that she saw something," she said.
"What did she see?" she asked, thinking it might be able to help them.
"That she and Lily were in a room with Tommy."
Leah looked at her confused but her answer came when Draco and Ginny came running into the room.
"Harry!" said Draco.
"What?" snapped Harry, eyes flashing with a visible fury.
"What happen here?" asked Ginny looking around the room.
"Death Eater kidnapped Lily and Jordan," said Leah softly.
"By Death Eaters that weren't known as ones back during the war," said Draco.
"What do you mean Draco?" asked Harry turning to him.
"Remember the other day when the Riddick's took Tommy back and I left?" he asked.
"Yes…but what does that-"
"I went through some of my father's old things. He listed Death Eaters that he was close to and ones he had worked with for some old reason. Lance Riddick was in his book. Tommy's parents are Death Eaters," said Draco.
"You have got to be joking me," said Harry.
"No…the Ministry let two Death Eaters walk," said Ginny.
Harry cursed under his breath. The Riddick's wanted to get Harry back and by taking his kids was one of the few ways they could.
"You should know something else Harry," said Ginny slowly.
"What now?" he asked.
"Ryan Miles."
"What about him?"
"He's a Death Eater."
Harry hit the wall behind him. He couldn't go through this again. Last time when Leah was kidnapped, he barely made it through it. What would stop him this time from finishing what he started back then?

Harry and Draco lowered themselves back in their seats. Severus waited until everyone was gone.
"You both will be staying here during the summer." He told them.
The both just nodded. Harry ran a hand through his hair and Severus caught a glimpse of Harry's arm.
"Harry James!" he said grabbing his arm.
Harry couldn't look at his father. He had been cutting his wrist but stopped before too much blood would fall. Severus dropped his hand and put a hand under his chin and made him look at him.
"Why Harry?"
"Because I am sick and tired of this pain!"
"You could do this one time to many Harry! Don't your understand! You could do this and actually die! Then, when Leah comes home-"
"Damn it Dad! She's not coming home! This is so hard to hold on to her anymore!"

"Draco!" he suddenly snapped, shaking that memory from his head.
"What Harry?" he asked.
"Get everyone under my command into my office in the next ten minutes. Tell them that they will be there a while."
"Why?"
"No one will be leaving until we find them."
