Bill stood in the door way. "I think I know where they are or at least how to find them."
Harry looked at Bill. He had never thought to see him. Bill had not been one of the brothers he had known that well. He had only met him and Charlie in sixth year. If he had thought any Weasley would have come forward he had thought the parents. Or maybe Ginny. His issues with Ron had run to deep. But he seemed to be wrong. He had once thought that Ron was his brother. But those days had long ago passed. And though Ron was the one hurt by Percy and Hermione as well as Penny he seemed to have over looked that.
As Bill came into the house Harry could see he was not the only one who was surprised. Both of the twins were staring at their eldest brother. As was Penny. They were grateful if he was really here to help them. They would take any aid they could to get the babies home.
Harry looked at Bill. "You really know where your brother and his wife are? I am surprised that you would be helping me."
Bill looked at him and Penny. "I was not sure. But Fleur convinced me to. She made me think of what it would feel like if it was Victoire or Louis who were taken."
That really did not surprise anyone. Fleur had one thing in common with her mother in law. The two had never really got along well. Not when she and Bill were engaged. But when Fleur became a mother they realized that they had something in common with each other. They were born mothers. They both dedicated themselves to their kids. Well Fleur did some work for the bank still. She was not a stay at home mother as Molly was. But she would have died for the children. Harry had seen the look on her face when he had com into the Burrow. Fleur had been the only one who seemed to show any compassion over the news. Well Molly had for a moment but Fleur had shown something more then just a flash.
Bill explained what he knew. Percy came to check on Lynette every day. She had been staying at the Burrow alone for three days. It seemed Ron had taken her in. That surprised everyone. He had not fought Hermione for the baby. He had not wanted to raise his brother's child. Now he seemed to be helping.
Bill sighed. "I am willing to alert you the next time he comes. I am sure he can lead you to where the babies are."
Harry looked at him. "Did your family know they had the babies? I will not ask Moody to arrest you. But I need to know."
He needed to know. For his own sanity. He was not sure why it mattered to him. He had known the Weasleys had not been his family for many years now. Well the ones left at the Burrow. But he still needed this. It would not take away the pain. He reminded himself he had family and friends. The twins would have been at Severus's funeral but they had both been in the hospital, hurt in battle. Oliver, Neville and Luna had been. And for his parents as well. It was his family who had not been. But he just had to know. He needed to know if they had taken their anger for his choice in loves out on the babies.
Bill shook his head. "No. We thought they were acting odd but considering their relationship no. Mom and Dad are still not convinced they have the babies."
Harry nodded. "Thank you for doing this. For what ever reason you have done this. Thank you. What ever you think of me and my husband, they are innocent babies."
Moody walked with Bill out the door. There would be no criminal investigation into the family. Unless Harry and Penny demanded it. But they wouldn't. They did not need revenge. They just wanted their precious daughters home and safe in their arms. They would ser the two who had taken their babies punished. They would see them locked up for endangering tow infants. But they did not need the heads of the rest of the family.
Lucius held his husband and whispered he was going with them. He would see that those involved were punished. He would not rest till he placed Rosie in his husband's arms. He longed for the baby. He wanted his daughter home so bad. But he knew it was worse for Harry. Harry was nursing and having his daughter away from him was making the bond he had with his daughter ache.
Harry stopped Lucius from going. "I am going with you. And before you protest save your breath. That is my daughter. I am coming with you."
Lucius knew better then to argue with his husband and pulled him in close. "Okay. But you need to be careful. Teddy needs you too."
Penny was anxious but he knew she would not help anything by going. She would put the babies at more risk or herself. But she begged them to bring Melissa home. Her daughter was months older then her goddaughter but that was little comfort. She was still a little baby. And she wanted her little girl back in her arms soon. John did his best to comfort her. And Angelina seemed to know what she needed. Penny soon had Gabe deposited in her arms. It seemed odd but it was a slight comfort.
Fred went with the others but George remained. He looked at Penny. "You know Harry will not stop until he has both of those babies home where they belong."

They waited all day but sure enough Percy appeared and spent some time with his daughter. Bill had gone a step further. He placed a tracking spell for them. He had been willing to help get the babies back. And h seemed to be feeling a bit guilty as well. He had volunteered to have a bigger part then they expected. They were surprised when they apparated following Percy. They had come to a home along the coast in what they knew was Kent. Lucius recognized it. It was a Black home. Which obviously meant it belonged to Harry. They realized that the couple must have thought that no one would think to look for them there.
There were a few guards around. They wondered if they were who actually took the babies. They doubted the couple did the dirty work. It would have been too risky Moody and Lucius went to work dispatching the guards. When they were sure the coast was clear they headed into the cottage. Harry saw Percy in the sitting room with one of the babies. He realized it was Melissa. There was no sign of Hermione or Rosie.
Percy looked up at them. "You can not simply come bursting in here? Melisa is my daughter and I am just having some quality time with her."
Harry smirked at him. "This is my home. You should be lucky you are holding her. I could hex you for trespassing. Not to mention kidnapping my goddaughter."
Harry kept egging on the man. Percy seemed to think after abandoning his daughter he could just come back and claim her. Harry watched as Moody sent a body bind at him and acted quickly, snatching a crying Melissa into his arms. He held his goddaughter against him grateful she was okay.
Percy sneered at him. "You caught me but you will never have your daughter back. Hermione snuck out of here with her. She is long gone."
Bill who they did not realize had come with them answered. "Think again little brother. Your whore of a wife and you are going to prison."
He led a bound Hermione out and Harry nearly sagged in relief when he saw Rosie in Bill's free arm. He could see his precious baby girl was okay. Moody and the aurors took tem both into custody and Harry swapped babies with Bill and sobbed in relief as he held Rosie against him. The aurors suggested the hospital but Lucius said he would bring a healer to the home. He knew he needed to get his husband and the girls home.
Bill stood holding Melissa. "Can I come with you? I would like to return my NIECE into her mum's arms."
