"Arthur Weasley to report a missing child." Arthur told the receiver in the phone booth that lead to the ministry..
The payphone gave him his nametag. Arthur went straight to the place that would help him the most in finding his son.
"Mr. Weasley may I help you?" said the secretary at the front desk.
"Yes I want to report two missing children." Arthur said.
"Okay fill this form out. It should be all the information we will need. I will give it to Mr. Covert as soon as you're done. From there we will set up a plan to find the children missing. Please have a seat." The woman said.
The form asked for the essential: your name ,name of the missing person, their date of birth, last seen, and so on. It took him 10 minutes before he was done. He handed it to the lady who went straight to Mr. Covert and gave him the form. When she returned she put a comforting hand on Mr. Weasley's shoulder.
"Now Mr. Weasley I know this can be hard, but I need you to go home. Calm the rest of your children down. Calm Molly down. You must all stay calm. We are already doing everything in our power to find your son." The woman said.
Arthur paused for a moment, nodding his head sadly. He then perked up and said almost panicked "Oh no. I forgot to tell you…my son was with a girl. I assume she is a muggle."
"Thanks Mr. Weasley, I'll report the information right away. Now go home. If you find out or remember anything more, don't hesitate to send an owl in. Every bit of information is crucial to the investigation. You can send it to me." The woman said.
"Thank you so much. I best be getting on my way now." Arthur said.
"We will owl you with any news. Good day Mr. Weasley." the woman said.
Arthur Weasley immediately went home. He did what the woman told him to do by comforting his family. The kids were in shock. Ginny couldn't stop crying. Molly seemed to be the worst. She was staring at the clock on the wall.
Arthur followed Molly's eyes to the clock. 'At least he's not in danger.' Arthur thought while noticing that Ron's picture was currently on traveling.
"Molly he's still on the boat. He's not in danger. Please come eat something." Arthur said. He had taken over his wife's usual task of cooking for the family.
"Oh Arthur! He must be so scared not knowing were he is." Molly said, bursting into tears once more.
Arthur embraced his wife. "Molly he's not alone. The little girl is with him. I think we should be grateful that he's not in danger and that those men aren't with them. Don't worry Molly we will find Ron. I promise you."
Molly looked up at Arthur. She knew why she loved him so much. He was so caring, generous. Just about everything she ever wanted in a life partner. He had this way of soothing her. She adored him for that. Molly gave in to him and sat down to eat, even though she wasn't that hungry.
Ginny Weasley was having the hardest time dealing with Ron's disappearance. She knew that even though he teased her and she wanted to kill him sometimes, he was still her brother and she loved him. Ginny stayed up in the living room crying that night. It was 3:00 am and she couldn't sleep. He brothers face kepts swimming in before her face. Ron and Ginny had shared a room for as long as she could remember. He was her protector at night, But not anymore..
'Who's going to protect me from the ghoul in the attic? What if something tries to get me?' Were some of the thoughts that were keeping her awake.
Arthur Weasley noticed the lights on in the living room. He went downstairs and saw his only daughter sitting on the couch. It saddened him to see that she was devastated about Ron's disappearance. The fact that she was crying and still up at this hour were how he knew she was. Arthur went over and sat down next to his daughter. He pulled her on his lap and gave her a hug. He was protecting her with this hug as well as soothing her.
"Its okay Ginny. Don't cry." Arthur said.
"I'm sorry dad. I can't help it. I miss Ron so much. I'm all alone in our room. I'm so scared. He's not there to protect me. I can't sleep. I miss him so much. I was angry at him but now I just wish he would come home." Ginny said between sobs
(A/N: I know that all the little kids sound more mature then they're supposed to. Forgive me please. I haven't been 9 years old for 7 years. I don't hang with many 9 year olds either so. I can't remember how they act. So if they sound really mature for you liking sorry.)
"Oh Ginny its okay. Ron will be back before you know it. There are many people out there looking for him. I promise you that he will be back." Arthur said to his crying daughter.
"You can't promise that." Ginny said through sobs.
"Why not?" Arthur said.
"You can't because you just can't. Something could happen, and we could never ever see him again. They might not be able to track him. They're in a boat. There's no magic daddy. How will the wizards find them?" Ginny asked.
"Oh Ginny. I know I can't promise you that Ron will be found. I know that would be a promise I couldn't keep. The key is to have faith. If we give up on Ron then how is he going to get found. If we doubt that he's going to return. He probably won't. You have to have faith in him. Faith in the group of witches and wizards that are out there trying their hardest to find your brother. You have to have faith in you mother and I. You have to have faith in knowing that we will never ever stop looking for your brother. As long as that clock doesn't say death we will keep searching." Arthur told her.
Ginny sighed loudly and wiped the remaining tears from her face. She put on a brave but wavering smile. "Okay daddy I will have faith in all of you. I want Ron to come back. So if getting him back means sitting around waiting for something to happen, then I will."
"Ginny don't forget that with everything going on, I still love you. Mom loves you. Your other brothers love you. We all need to be supported by each other." Arthur said.
"I love you to Daddy." Ginny said hugging her father with all her might.
"Now love, you need to go to bed and sleep." Arthur said.
"Daddy I'm scared in my room all alone. I can't sleep." Ginny said.
"Okay but just for tonight you may sleep with your mother and me. Tonight you rest. We've had a long day and we don't need you getting sick from lack of sleep. Tomorrow we will find a way to make your room less frightening." Arthur said while picking Ginny up. He then carried her towards his room.
"Thank you daddy." Ginny said.
"You're welcome dear." Arthur said.
"Arthur honey what are you doing? Why is Ginny up at this hour?" Molly asked groggily.
"I am too scared to go to sleep in my room. I miss Ron mommy. Daddy said I can sleep with you two tonight." Ginny said while Arthur put her down. Ginny snuggled up to her mother.
"I hope you don't mind dear. I just don't want her to be exhausted in the morning. We will sort this out later." Arthur told his wife.
"I don't mind Arthur." Molly said.
"Good night ladies." Arthur said while giving his wife and his daughter a kiss.
"Good night Arthur." Molly said.
"Yeah, good night daddy." Ginny said.
The next morning. Arthur had to go back to work.
" Arthur you can't go back to work! We need you here." Molly said.
" I have to go to work Molly. If I get fired, I can't pay them to find Ron." Arthur told his wife.
Molly scowled "Well ok then. Send me an owl if you hear anything."
"I will honey, don't worry. The same from you if you hear any news as well." Arthur said to his wife.
The day seemed to drag on for Arthur. He awaited any news at all on his son. At 2:30, he couldn't wait any longer. As soon as he had a few minutes he went to the department that he had been in just the day before.
"I'm sorry Mr. Weasley I don't know anything yet." The secretary told him.
"When will you know something. I can't just sit here and do nothing. My son is missing. It's been 2 days! I don't know if he's hungry, thirsty. I need my son back. Please, if you hear anything send an owl. As soon as you can." Arthur pleaded with the woman.
"Arthur I give you my word. I will owl you as soon as I find out anything. I know this can be nerve wracking. The day my daughter got kidnapped... I… well… you understand how I felt then. I've been through this. I am here to help you out in any way I can. I want to find your son just as much as you do. But you keeping me from my job won't help me. It's only going to slow us down. Please Mr. Weasley go back to work. I swear I'll owl you as soon as I find anything." The woman told him.
"Thank you so much ma'am. You daughter was recovered safely right?" Arthur asked her.
"Yes. Not a scratch on her." she smiled "I have a lot of faith in this department. I hope to see you reunited with you son as soon as possible. Have a good day Mr. Weasley." The woman said.
Arthur Weasley went back to work.
Molly was having a hard time. She wanted her son found and she wanted him found now. She had so much house work that needed to be done, but there was one thing that kept her from her task: the clock. It kept on pointing in the middle of lost and traveling. She wanted to make sure that he wasn't in any danger.
"Molly I'm home." Arthur called as he came in the door.
"Arthur have you heard anything?" Molly asked hopefully
"Not a thing Molly the woman at the office said she would owl me as soon as she heard anything." Arthur said.
"I just hope he's okay" Molly said.
"You and me both dear." Arthur said. He embraced his wife. Comforting himself as well as her.
I hope you enjoyed it. Please review.
