Unknown Surroundings
"Mummy? Daddy?" James said waking very groggily, and rubbing his red eyes. He had momentarily forgot about the day before. He sat in a cold room, with no windows and a thin blanket on the stone floor. A bucket was placed in the corner of the room, which James had unfortunately had to relive himself in, was casting a lingering smell on the room. James was kneeling on the ground with a black eye and the side of his face scratched red, and a missing shoe and ripped shirt.
He had had such a traumatic day the day before and was left crying softly, cuddling the blanket, and looking around his grim surroundings.
"Mummy, Daddy, please help me, please, I'm scared..." James sobbed the whole day until he felt drained of tears and he could feel anything but ultimate sorrow.
The Ministry
"Harry! Ginny!" Luna Lovegood said running towards the couple who had just entered through the fireplace.
"Hello Luna.." Ginny said and Luna engulfed her in a big hug. Ginny began crying on her shoulder.
"Oh Ginny, Harry, I couldn't possible imagine what you both are going through, I couldn't bare to lose my twins. I am here for the reopening of the Department of Unicorn Protection, I need to write a segment for the Quibbler. The exhibit is actually quite boring and I wouldn't recommend it. But Ginny how are you, I mean this must be stressful?" Luna said picking up her papers and rubbing Ginny's arm. Harry gave her a small smile of gratitude.
"I'm alright, just worried... But we have a good team of experts on the case and we have been assured that they would get him back."
"Well if you want I can come over tonight, the kids might like to see the others and I could even give you some of my calming tea. It really helps and I have a bunch of herbs for it in my garden. Also if you want I will be happy to write an article on James. Maybe someone has seen him and it might help?" Luna said helpfully.
"Thank you for the offer but we have been told by the Ministry not to tell the public yet and I wouldn't want to anger them. But we would be very grateful if you came over tonight. Ginny could use something to calm her nerves, and if you have any sleeping draught potions it would help a lot as she is getting very little sleep these days." Harry said putting an arm around Ginny and addressing Luna.
"I think I have some in my kitchen, I will bring it over tonight. Well I'll see you both later." Luna hugged them both once more and she hopped into the fireplace and flooed out.
The Department of Missing Wizards or Witches
"Harry, Ginny." Amberhall walked over in muggle clothes and shook both their hands. He then led them into the room and they saw a big board with pictures of James, their house, James' room, and the note was taped up on the board as evidence.7
"We have had BIG improvements in the case, but it seems the more we uncover, the more we get confused. You see, we have found something about the note that seemed suspicious. The pen was actually the same pen that was sitting on James' desk. It was a green, muggle, ink pen. It seems strange that it was that pen, as the kidnapping did seem quite quick. Also even stranger, the letter was in fact in James' hand! We have compared it to his other writing and it is undoubtedly his. A bit neater but nether the less, we have that to g on. The person who has kidnapped your son is either a mind controller, and or using a very powerful curse. We don't know how he would have enough time to do this but as you say James was in his room for less then 10 minutes, so the kidnapper must have been outside the window waiting for him to return. And we are positive it was a supporter of Voldemort, which I suppose was quite obvious." Amberhall was smiling proudly at his discoveries, but Ginny and Harry had angry, confused looks on their faces.
"So you got our hopes up, and called us here early, to tell us that the letter wasn't even in the kidnappers hand, and that he was a deatheater?" Ginny said with a wobbly voice.
"Yes, quite a move forward I must say." Amberhall boasted.
"WE ALREADY KNEW ALL THAT INFORMATION BEFORE WE EVEN ARRIVED! I HAVE READ MY SONS WORK SINE HE WAS 3 AND I KNOW THAT WAS HIS HANDWRITTING, AND WE ARE WELL AWARE THAT THE KIDNAPPER WAS A DEATHEATER!" Ginny screamed before sinking into a chair, crying her eyes out. Harry sat next to her and try to soothe her.
