Angelina stood in the nursery holding Teddy in her arms. Harry and Penny both raced into the room. Both cribs were empty. Both babies were gone. Melissa and Rosie had been taken by someone. Harry would have collapsed but his husband caught him though Lucius was not doing much better. John had Penny in his arms. Lucius held his husband against him. He could not understand this. There were guards on the house. He had no idea how someone had got into the house for the kids.

Harry clung to his husband as he directed them back downstairs. Angelina sobbed against her husband. The twins were checked on and were fine. Lucius called the guards in and sent a floo call to Draco with a request that if Carlos was willing to help them that he would com as well. Draco assured him they would both be arriving soon and they were not surprised when Fred came as well. But they were a bit surprised when Moody arrived.

Moody had not seen Harry since he had fled to the US. "Harry, I understand one of the children taken was yours."

Harry looked up. "My two day old daughter, the other my infant goddaughter and niece. I don't get this. You have to get them back."

Moody looked at Harry with his husband and son. Tonks' son. Moody knew but Harry was not aware. Moody was one of the few not surprised Harry had left. He once thought Harry would become an auror. But Tonks had confided to her mentor and friend that she was pregnant. He was friends with Remus as well. He had held his tongue. He thought the werewolf laws were crap. Besides back then they had not been in place. He had known Harry had gone away to protect his adopted son. Maybe one day Harry would know. Maybe one day Harry would hear that Moody had actually covered his tracks. Out of respect for both Harry and Teddy's parents. Harry had thought he covered them will with help from Xeno and his money. But for now Moody would not tell him. There were more important things to handle.

The security spoke to them. They had the house surrounded. There was no sign of apparition into the house. And the wards would have detected it. There was only one thing which could have got them in or out. And that was a portkey of some kind.

Carlos nodded. "Percy used to have contacts in that department. We will see if he called in some old favour and had one created or covered it up some how."

Lucius sighed. "Between those two we know they should have been smart enough to cover their tracks. We need to find out what they are actually after."

No one wanted to say it. With Melissa there was some confusion. Penny really had no money. Maybe Percy would try and get money from Harry for her. He had abandoned Penny. He had not wanted anything to do with the baby. After trying for years of trying and he had taken off with no concern for his wife or the baby. He had signed over all legal rights to her. Percy definitely did not have the Weasley paternal side to him. Or at least to Melissa. Lynette he seemed to care about. Maybe because of the mother. But for what ever reason they could not see him committing a crime just because he suddenly had any paternal love for his daughter.

The greater fear was over Rosie. And not just because she was two days old. Though that of course was a huge worry. Hermione and Percy wanted revenge. They had sworn it. They blamed Harry and Lucius for ruining their lives. They had made it impossible for the couple to really find work any where. They prayed like Melissa it might just be for money. But both Harry and Lucius were dreading that they might not settle for just that. They would give their fortunes for her, but they were not sure that it would be enough. And it petrified them.

Moody looked at them. "I will work with the PI's from Carlos and we will find them. I am sure it is likely a matter of money. But with babies so young......"

Lucius knew his husband could not take hearing that right now. "Thank you Alastor. Please keep us informed. Penny will be staying with us at the manor for now."

Though she looked ready to argue John quieted Penny. She needed it right now. Her daughter had been kidnapped from her. She needed to have support right now. The move had been meant to protect her and the baby. But right now it would still be good. Her and Harry could likely offer each other some support. John was of course welcome to come. Though he and Penny had not been dating for more then a few months they had become quite close. And he wanted to be there for her.

Lucius helped his husband up, Harry holding his son. "We should go home Harry. You know Alastor and Carlos will keep us updated on what is going on."

Moody saw that Harry was going to protest. "Your Dad was a good friend Harry. I will find your daughter for you. I'll help make her safe like I did with Teddy."

They could tell Harry was shaken when he did not question that statement. Harry just nodded. He could barely put words together at the moment. He could not believe his daughter and goddaughter were missing. Fred and George brought their wives and the twins to the manor. Officially it was for safety but it was or them to be there for Harry and Penny as well. Draco and Blaise brought Liam as well. Penny only had them for family or they would have summoned someone else.

Lucius watched his husband hours later as they waited for news. Teddy had gone to bed. "Harry sweet heart you need to sleep."

Harry looked up with tears streaming down his cheeks. "My baby is missing and you want me to sleep? I can't sleep. I need her in my arms. I need her Luc."

Everyone's hearts ached for him. They had coaxed Penny to bed with a sleeping draught some time ago. They got Harry to drink some tea finally. He realized too late they added a draught to it. He tried to fight his husband putting him to bed but he was too weak and he was out before they put him to bed. After tucking his husband into bed he returned downstairs and into the sitting room.

George was pacing. "There has to be something we can do. Someone who knows where the babies might b. We have to find them."

Word came in the morning. One of Carlos' contacts came in handy. There was a black market even after the war. Among it were some old portkeys which you could with the right spell set or any known location. It would work if there were no wards against them. It seems one of the illegal portkeys had been registered after the fact. An old friend of Percy's in the department had admitted it. He refused to say he did it for Percy. It was why criminals usually would not use them. Any portkeys created were automatically detected and their uses were logged. Now they knew how but they did not know why. Or where the babies had been taken.

Lucius hated this. He looked at Liam and at Teddy who was reading in his Aunt Angie's lap. His husband was still out. He needed good news for his husband. He needed something to tell him. Having their now three day old baby missing was the worst torture any parent could endure.

Carlos came in. "We have had a few leads in where they may have gone but you guys need to just be patient. We have armies of people on this."

Lucius turned to his old friend. "Thank you for doing this Carlos. I should go and check on Harry. I assume he has probably woken by now."

Carlos reminded him they had been friends since school. Not to mention their sons were married. Even if Harry's son had not saved Liam he would have done this. Neither he nor Maria could even begin to know what it would feel like if they were in the same place. No parent really could. Lucius had been going but was surprised when Penny instead appeared in the doorway and she was holding a note in her hand.

Penny surprised them. "I went to check on Harry and I found this. He has gone to the Burrow. He has gone to confront the Weasleys to see if they know anything."
