Both Hermione and Harry looked down at Ron. He looked back, grinning. But he said nothing else. (A.N yes, that does mean Ron was the one who said "Tandy").

"Did he just talk?" asked Harry.

Hermione rolled her eyes and bent down. She scooped up their child and then said,

"Yes, he did."

Harry looked up to the clear, blue sky.

"Thank you!" he exclaimed.

Both Hermione and Ron gave him a strange look. Harry rushed over and grabbed Ron from Hermione.

"You talked!" Harry exclaimed, "Say it again. Say it one more time!"

Hermione laughed. Ron's face was blank once more.

"Just one more time," begged Harry.

Ron said nothing.

"That was him, right?" asked Harry.

"Yes, Harry," said Hermione, taking Ron from him, "It was…."

Suddenly Seamus, Parvati, and Lavender caught up with them. Harry sighed, but he was smiling.

"Hey guys," he said happily to Seamus and Parvati.

"Harry, we just lost," said Seamus, "How can you be happy?"

"No clue," lied Harry, "So…are we gonna hang out in Hogsmeade tomorrow?"

"Sure," said Seamus with a shrug.

x-X-x-X-x

"To Honeydukes!" announced Harry.

It was the first shop they went to.

"Choose a candy, any candy," continued Harry, setting Ron down.

Ron looked over at him, and then walked off, looking at all the brightly wrapped candies and other sweets.

"Well, at least there's one thing right about him," said Harry to Hermione, who smacked his arm.

"What?" Harry asked, "I'm just saying at least we haven't screwed him up so much that he doesn't know what candy is."

Hermione shook her head and rolled her eyes. Seamus had set Lavender on the shop floor too and was letting her wander around. Parvati kept a close eye on both children since Harry and Hermione were busy arguing and Seamus was looking at the candy, too.

Suddenly Parvati got sidetracked by her twin sister showing her a necklace that she had just bought.

When Parvati looked back to where the toddlers had been…they were gone.

"Hermione!" Parvati exclaimed, "Where did they go?"

"What?" Hermione asked, looking at Parvati.

"They're gone!" exclaimed Parvati, rushing over to where Ron and Lavender had been.

The four distressed "parents" rushed around the candy shop (A.N Candy shop, teehee) looking for the toddlers and asking others if they had seen them.

No one had. Hermione became very panicky, so did Parvati. Seamus and Harry ran outside to see if somehow the two had gotten out. Suddenly Padma ran up to Harry.

"Harry!" she said, "I saw someone with Ron and Lavender go down that alleyway!"

She pointed to the alley that ran down the side of Honeydukes. Harry and Seamus pulled out their wands and ran down the alley. Then they saw someone in a large black cloak walking, holding on to the hands of Ron and Lavender.

"STUPEFY!" Harry shouted, pointing his wand at the person in the cloak. The person fell to the ground, taking Ron and Lavender with him.

"Go get a teacher," Harry said to Seamus.

Seamus ran off and Harry ran down the alley to where the person had fallen. Lavender was crying, Ron just sat up. Harry picked up Lavender and tried calming her down as he lowered the cloak of the person who had taken the toddlers.
