The Aurors effeciently transported the Death Eaters to the ministry, there they would be held until they could be sentenced. Charlie left to go and inform Bill of the outcome of the mission. Lori's three brothers went to St. Mungo's to check on her condition.

Once everyone else had departed, Harry linked arms with Hermione, "I imagine Ron would have taken Jason back to Ginny's. Care to join me?"

With a smile she answered, "Sure, let's go."

The two friends aparated arm in arm to Ginny's house. When they arrived, their smiles quickly faded. No one was there and the living room was in shambles. Cushions were split open and their stuffing filled the room. Furniture was overturned. Shards of glass littered the floor.

"Ginny? Jamie? Ron? Arthur? Anyone!" they hollered as they searched the home. Each room they came to was in the same condition as the living room. In Jamie's bedroom, Harry heard a small whimper. He ran into the room and under a pile of debris found the baby, Matthew.

"Hey there, little guy. What happened?" He quietly comforted the baby by gently rubbing his back.

Hermione rushed to his side, "Oh, precious, its okay, mama's here."

Harry handed her son to her. Instantly, the little boy laid his head on her shoulder and began sucking on his thumb. With despair, the two adults looked at each other.

"Harry, what happened? Where is everyone?" she questioned with terror in her voice as she scanned the room.

"I don't know, Hermione." He ran a hand through his black hair. "Ahhhh! How much am I expected to take. I just found everyone and now they are all being ripped away from me." He abruptly punched the wall nearest him.

"Harry, I know your upset but we have to look for them. My husband and babies are missing and I am not going to just stand around and feel sorry for myself. You can come with me or not but I am going to go get Bill and Charlie and everyone else to help me look for them."

"Hermione, you're right. Of course I'm coming with you, let's go."

For the second time that night, they appeared in Bill's office. Charlie was filling Bill in on what had happened at the Malfoy Manor. When they arrived, Bill stood up and started to congratulate them on a successful mission, he noticed the looks on their faces because he abruptly stopped.

"What's wrong?"

"We went back to Ginny's assuming that we would find our families there but when we got there the place has been ransacked and everyone was gone but Matthew. We know they would not have left him there voluntarily."

"Gone? What do you mean, gone?" Charlie asked.

"Gone as in they're not there!" Hermione screeched. "Now can we please find them?"

"Calm down, sweetie. We're going to find everyone," Bill reassured her. "Have you checked anywhere else?"

"No, we came here first."

"Okay, Charlie and Harry go check Ron's house and The Burrow. Hermione go to George and Katie's and let them know," Bill instructed. "I'll see what I can find out here."

Harry and Charlie apparated quickly to Ron's house. Arriving there, they found it quiet and dark.

"Hello? Is anyone here," they called out as they made their way though the house.

The two men checked each room and once they were sure the house was empty, they headed for The Burrow. They arrived in the kitchen and found it was as empty as Ron's house had been. Making their way to the living room, they were shocked to find Molly lying on the sofa.

"Mum, are you okay?" Charlie hurried to her side. When she did not respond, he looked up at Harry, "I think she's asleep."

She groggily opened one eye and then the other when she saw they were both staring at her. Slowly she sat up and looked around confused.

"What am I doing here?"

"I don't know, mum. We were going to ask you that."

"I can't remember, its kind of foggy. Give me some time and I think it'll come to me."

"Molly, is anyone else here with you?"

"I don't know."

Harry quickly searched the rest of the house while Charlie stayed with his mum. He found no one else and hurried back to the others.

"Okay, lets go back to Bill's office and see if they found anything out." He noticed his mother-in-law was still looking a bit disoriented. "Molly do you think you can apparate?" he gently asked her.
"Yeah, I think so."

"Okay, lets go."

The arrived back at Bill's office to find that Katie and George had joined Hermione.

"Mum! What happened? Where is everyone else?" George questioned his mother when he saw she was with Charlie and Harry.

"What are you talking about? Who else is missing?" she began to panic slightly.

"Way to go, George. Now you've upset her," Charlie grumbled at his brother.

"Sorry, I figured you would have told her."

Bill guided his mum to the sofa and gently pushed her down onto it. "Mum, don't panic but we don't know where Dad, Ginny, Ron, and their kids are. Harry and Hermione got to Ginny's house and found it was ransacked and no one was there but Matthew." He sat down next to her, "Do you remember what happened?"

"Not really, I was at Ginny's waiting for someone to let us know what was going on. Then Ron came in with Jason. It gets a little foggy after that and the next thing I really remember is waking up on my own sofa."

Just as she finished, the door to Bill's office opened. Hermione's kids and Jamie came bounding in the door. Following them was Dumbledore.

Hermione tried to grab all of her kids at once and hug them. Harry had an easier time pulling Jamie to him.

Dumbledore addressed everyone, "I believe these belong to you. It was the strangest thing, I was taking my evening walk and found this gang in the Great Hall.
