TUESDAY!

"I didn't forget anything did I?" Looking around nervously before flipping through the papers looking worried. Wanting everything to go smoothly and be perfect he had to be sure that he had everything.

"Everything that you and your Father worked is there. Clam down and relax." Harry smiled as he dressed for the luncheon with Mrs. Hanagan. "Mrs. Hanagan is very excited, so everything is going to be fine. She'll be able to fill in the gaps and tell us everything else about the kids that we need to know." He knew that his husband wanted everything to go smoothly and they had a lot to buy. It felt good that they were doing something so positive and that they had opened Lucius' eyes to things.

"Where are we going for lunch?" Slipping on his overcoat he realized that Harry hadn't told him. He hoped that it was someplace nice.

"Well, Sirius called me the other day, they are finally back in town so we'll be going to 'New Moon'." he smiled softly clearly grateful to have his godparents back in town. They had decided to travel over the past year, closing their restaurant for the time. They had written to Harry but not having them close at hand and be able to sit face to face and talk. That had been a nightmare. Taking Draco's hand he helped him to the Floo and stepped in together.

Stepping out into the crowded waiting area Harry chuckled, "Well this just shows their customers missed them." he muttered.

"I still can't believe that they started this." Draco smiled looking around at the dim lit room. Thinking back to the day that Remus, Sirius and Tonks had approached them about starting the restaurant he had been a bit worried. Today thought proved that the place was well liked. The candles floated in the air around the tables as the walls changed from one color to another.

"It's what they needed," Harry reached the Hostess as Sirius moved to greet them, "Sirius." Harry smiled seeing him for the first time in over a year.

Sirius reached the men and pulled them both into a tight embrace, "I am so sorry that we were not here when you needed us." he whispered apologetically.

"It's alright, you needed the time with your mates and Draco and I are doing well. As you can see," Pulling back to let Sirius get a good look at Draco he saw the smile, "It's a boy."

"That's wonderful." Sirius smiled as he pulled them further into the restaurant, "I should've been here." he muttered looking guilt ridden.

"Now stop! Everything is fine now, you needed the brake. You are back now and can be apart of it all," Harry knew that he was going to be upset but he also knew that he needed the vacation, "How are your mates?" "They're doing wonderfully." Sirius told them about their trip as they made their way over to the table that over looked the cliff side. "I'll let you two talk with Mrs. Hanagan. If you need me let me know." he smiled figuring that even though Draco was expecting they were still going to adopt. Sighing he slipped off hurting for his godson, he should have been there and he hadn't been. Nothing was going to relieve that guilt for sometime.

Harry smiled as Mrs. Hanagan stood. "Mrs. Hanagan, my I introduce my husband, Draco Malfoy-Potter." he smiled softly as he shook her hand.

"I must say when Harry called me I was shocked but so pleased to meet you," Mrs. Hanagan smiled taking his hand before they found seats, "And congratulations on the baby."

"Thank you so very much and thank you for coming." Draco beamed as they settled into their seats.

"So, what were you thinking?" Mrs. Hanagan knew that if Draco Malfoy had taken an interest she need to listen, "I must say I'm very eager to hear this." she looked a little relieved that someone had taken an interest in the kids.

Pulling out his folders and paper work he inched a little close to show her what they had planned out so far. Explaining every little detail that they had on paper at the moment he couldn't help but smiling seeing the smile on her face. He had dressed planned out for the little girls and suits of the boys. "Do they have clothing?"

"It's all second hand and most of it is wearing out," Mrs. Hanagan admitted as Draco made notes on his papers, we have the kids split up by ages and gender. So, even though they don't have their own rooms they are at least with their own ages."

Draco nodded thinking a moment about adding blankets to the list of things to give the orphanage. He just hoped his Father figured out where that money was going.

Harry grinned as the waiter tried to get drink orders from the table. Looking up at the young man he smiled. "Just bring tea with some fruit and cheese. It may be a moment before we order. Thanks Shay" he winked glad that he knew all the waiters.

"Yes, sir" Shay smiled before he moved off to fetch what they wanted. Glancing back at the table he chuckled seeing how engrossed the other man was with the papers and talking to the other woman.

Watching Draco talk to Mrs. Hanagan he smiled knowing that he was happy. Looking back to the discussion he had the other day with Lucius he knew that he could finally start relaxing. Having Lucius' promise that he wasn't going to pull Draco from him made things easier. It had been hard to admit that to him but it had worked out for the best. Lost in thought he didn't realize that Shay had brought what he had requested. Quickly nodding a thank you he smiled. "Just give us a moment or two." watching Shay move off he shifted to fix his husband some tea. Placing the hot tea in front of his lover he caught a glimpse of a family moving to a table near by. Glancing towards the table he froze watching the little girl. She stood about waist high, big brown eyes and reddish frizzy brown hair. She clung to a teddy bear and looked upset as she was placed in her seat. Catching the little girl's eyes he saw a silent plea for help it was Rosie. "Dragon?" he whispered hoping to get his attention.

"Yes, lover?" Draco turned to him figuring that he wanted to add something to the party plans.

"Slowly look to our right, two tables down, look at the little girl. Quietly tell me what you see." Harry whispered not wanting to get his hopes up.

Draco slowly looked towards the table perplexed at the request. Scanning the table he unconsciously gasped seeing the child. "Harry...that's..." it felt as if his heart had stopped.

"Who?" Mrs. Hanagan looked at the couple clearly curious.

Slowly Draco pulled a photo out of the little girl, "Rosie Weasley," he whispered showing her the photo, "Been missing for over six months now."

Looking from the picture to the child she gasped. "You have to do something!"

"I will," Harry stood slowly, "Keep talking, act normal. I'll be back." Placing a comforting hand on Draco's shoulder he moved to find his godparents. Moving though the crowded restaurant he spotted Tonks not far off. "Tonks!" He called to get her attention.

"Harry," she turned to him clearly thrilled to see him, "You look wonderful, it's been too lone. What's going on, how have you been? How Draco and the baby?" she fired off the steady stream of question clearly wanting answers.

"Everything is fine and Draco is doing wonderfully, the baby is due in just a few short months," he smiled glancing around, "Where's Siri or Remy?" he whispered as they moved to the kitchen area, "I need to send for Neville and several Aurrors."

Looking at him shocked Tonks stopped a moment. "What's wrong?"

"I think Rosie is two tables down from me." He replied softly.

Eyes going wide Tonks showed him into the kitchen, "Come on." Quickly leading him through to the office, she knew they had to be fast. They could just take the child and run then where would they be?

Remus turned seeing smiling at Harry and Tonks, "Hey, what's up?" he asked, his smile fading when he saw his mate's face.

"I need the Floo. I don't want to say to much; I just need to get a team here." Harry replied as they slipped into the office.

"Hey love, I am almost done." Sirius didn't look up from his schedules and food orders as they entered. Shifting several papers it was clear that he was trying to get thing back in order.

Remus moved behind him and kissed his neck. "Harry needs the Floo." he whispered.

Sirius looked up at that "What's wrong?" he could see the worry in Tonks' and the anger in Harry's eyes.

"I need to get Neville and a team here; I believe that Rosie is sitting two tables down from me. I need to get help here; if I interfere I could get into trouble." The worry was clear as he was handed the Floo powder.

"Get them here, we'll keep an eye on the table and make sure they don't leave." Sirius stood moving out with his mates to mingle with his customers.

"Don't raise suspicion. I don't want them to run." Harry nodded as he watched them head out as he turned to make his call.

Moving out into the dinning room they spotted Draco then looking down at the table Tonks gasped. "Oh sweet Merlin it is..." Keeping her vice low she fought to keep from going over to the table and grabbing the child.

"Spread out act as if nothing is wrong." Sirius instructed thrilled to have found Rosie, but worried at the same time. Making his way towards Draco he smiled, "Mind if I join you for a few moments?" he asked.

"Not at all look at what we are planning." Draco showed him the papers for the party.

Looking them over he smiled, "I'll be dammed." he breathed looking the papers over. "Need any help cooking?" he asked knowing that this was a lot of people to cook for.

"I'd love some," Draco beamed at him as he pulled out the food list, "See anything I missed?" he asked.

Sitting beside Draco to look the list over, he had to admit he knew what he was in for. "This looks perfect you want me and my two to shop for the food? One less thing to worry about."

"Could you? I know you have restaurant connections and I'll pay.." Draco's eyes wondered to the table the same time Sirius' did.

"Me and mine will pay and do the cooking." he insisted firmly realizing that he wanted to help, his eyes shifting back to the list of food. "I'll get started on this. When is the party?"

"Friday afternoon around five," Draco looked relived to see Harry and several Aurrors spreading out into the crowd, "Your two won't mind?"

"Not at all, we'll take care of this." he reassured trying not to get his hopes up as Neville approached the table.

"Mr. and Mrs. McFarren?" Neville nodded to the couple at the table looking the little girl over. "Can you come with me please?" he asked sternly clearly not going to take no for an answer.

The middle aged man stood looking confused. "May I ask what we have done sir?" he accent was heavy, it was clear he wasn't British, he was Scottish.

"It would be best if we spoke outside." Neville watched as the woman stood and moved to take the hand of the child, "Harry? Can you take the child?" he asked turning to his college and friend.

"What?! NO?" Mrs. McFarren grabbed for the young child clearly not wanting to be separated.

"Please, lets not cause a scene, she is perfectly fine with Mr. Potter." Neville got them to part with the child as he showed them out as Harry took the child into his arms.

"I knew you'd find me," Rosie whispered, "I knew momma didn't die me." looking up at her Uncle Harry she began to cry.

Nodding to Draco to silently tell him that he would see him at home he picked up Rosie, Holding her close he moved to the Floo, he had to get her back to the Ministry then looked over by the medic before he took her home.

"Thank Merlin." Draco knew that Harry would meet up with him at home and at the moment he did not mind.

Neville lead the couple into the Ministry looking worried, this was going to go badly and he knew it. "Dean can you take Mrs. McFarren and get her a drink while I speak to Mr. McFarren?" he asked watching as Dean lead the woman off.

"Mr. Longbottom what in the hell is this about and where is my Elspeth?!" He demanded as he was lead to a seat. Looking around he realized that she was not in the office and had not followed them.

"Mr. McFarren, was Elspeth born to you?" Neville asked sitting down across from him. Pulling out several papers to take notes he hoped this was not going to end in a fight.

"No, my wife is barren, we adopted her." He looked outraged as he watched him take notes, "What is this about?!" he demanded again, "I have the papers! I can have my house elf bring them."

"Please do sir." Neville watched as he called for the elf and then sent him for the paperwork. He knew that they were doing paternity spell on the child to be on the safe side but he knew deep down that the child was Rosie. As the elf returned with the papers he held out his hand for them. When they were placed in his hand he cast several detection spells and realized that the agency was one of the false one that he was investigating at the moment. The 'parents' were innocent and just as much a victim as Rosie. "Dean?" looking up at his friend and college he knew he would have to tell them. "Bring me Mrs. McFarren."

Dean nodded before moving to fetch the distraught woman, he knew that this was going to end badly. Leading the woman over to her husband he stayed near just incase things got out of hand.

"Mr. and Mrs. McFarren, I am sorry to tell you this, but your adoption was illegal. The child was stolen from her family..." Neville started to explain softly pulling out the missing persons file on Rosie.

"What? My baby, no, I paid to adopt her she's ours now!" Mrs. McFarren began to cry.

"She was kidnapped, the person behind this has taken several kids." showing them the photos he sighed, "I am sorry but she is not going home with you, with your help we might be able to get your money back and stop this monster." he pleaded finally seeing his shot at getting this man, "Afterwards I can set you up with a wonderful orphanage that is looking for wonderful parents."

"All these months she's been crying for her mom and dad. We told her they were dead. We were told that they had died in an rouge Deatheater attack." he whispered knowing that there were a few wanna be Deatheaters out there still. After a moment Mr. McFarren nodded though the tears. "We'll help." he whispered hurting that he was losing the child he had come to know as his daughter.

Harry sat Rosie on the bed as the Healers moved to look her over and dot he proper spells to determine who she belonged to, even though they knew. Brushing back her hair he smiled, "You are a very brave girl and we have missed you."

"I missed you too," Rosie whispered looking frightened, "Is mommy ok? That man hurt her."

"Mommy is doing good and as soon as they say I can I will take you home. Your baby brother is getting big and your mommy's belly is huge." Harry smiled telling her all about her mom and dad. Watchign as her face lit up as he told her about how her little brother was doing it was clear she was excited. After a moment he brushed back her hair and smiled softly, "Do you think you can tell Nancy what happened, anything you remember." he encouraged softly as he found a seat next to her, he was not letting her out of his site.

Nancy smiled as she sat beside them. "Just take it slowly alright?" she smiled wanting to reassure her as much as possible as the Healers did their job. She made notations about the child appearance on her charts and remembered that her hair had been longer, it had been cut. Listening to the child tell her about the man that had taken her and then what happened afterwards.

Looking from Harry to Nancy she tried to describe the man but it was hard for her, it had been almost six months ago and when he had taken her to the building she hadn't seen him again. "I stayed at a big place for awhile, in a small room, then that man and lady took me. They said that they were my new parents." Rosie began to cry clearly afraid, "I cried and begged for Mommy and Dad but they said they were dead. I stayed with them for awhile until to day." she looked at Harry wanting to know if she did alright.

"Good job baby," Harry praised as the Healers finished. Looking up the Healer nodded to him to silently tell him that they were correct, "Anything wrong?"

"No, perfect health no, 'damage,'" the Healer settled on the word after a moment not wanting to frighten the child by using other words, "I think that she could be released so you can take her home where she belongs." She smiled as she handed Rosie a popsicle, it made her love her job on days like this when families were reunited.

Neville moved in with Mr. and Mrs. McFarren with a soft smile. "How is she?" he asked worriedly. Pulling up a seat next to Harry he looked the child over pleased to see no visible marks on her.

"Perfect health," The Healer smiled as Rosie inched closer to Harry, "It's alright sweetheart." she felt bad for the child as she watched her. She was plastering herself to Harry's side clearly afraid of being taken away.

Rosie looked up at them through big brown eyes. "I don't want to go back, I want to go home." Rosie began to cry again as Harry wrapped his arms around her.

Mrs. McFarren knelt in front of her to her eye level. "No child, you are going home, we came to say goodbye," she whispered as she started to cry. She didn't want to give the child up. She had to though, she had parents who wanted her and loved her, "You be good and maybe will see you again." hugging her as did her husband they stepped back looking hurt.

"Mr. and Mrs. McFarren? Are you doing anything Friday afternoon?" Harry asked knowing it was hard for them, they had raised her for the past few months. Having lost his own children he knew that they were hurting and just wanted a child of their own. The Bastard behind the abductions was taking advantage of people like them, they had to stop him.

"No, why?"

"Come to my place around five, we are hosting a Christmas party for the Orphanage, you'd be able to meet some of the kids." Harry suggested watching Mrs. McFerren's face lit up slightly despite her being upset with the news.

Looking over at his distraught wife he whispered "We'll be there." Mr. McFarren nodded as they headed out.

"Can I take her home?" Harry asked Neville softly wanting to see Hermione and Ron's reaction when they realized that she was back with them. "Yes, take her home, I have to raid this agency." Neville was hopeful that the other missing child was still there. If she was that would be another happy family reunited and that would make his Christmas. Moving swiftly out he called for several of his team colleges, he wanted as many hands in as possible, Harry though was needed else where.

Harry stood picking Rosie up again, "You are getting so big," he teased wrapping her in his cloak to keep her warm, "You hang on tight." he whispered as he moved to the Floo. Tossing in the Floo powder he called out his destination and stepped in holding his Goddaughter close as the green flames engulfed them and they were gone.

Stepping out into the quite living room Harry paused listening. Where they home? Praying that nothing was wrong with Hermione he moved to head to the master bedroom. "Ron? Hermione?" he called out looking around for his friends. Hearing a slight nose down the hall he knew they were home and probably napping together. To his surprise Hermione's parents moved out of the library at his call. "Hello Mr. and Mrs. Granger." He greeted as Ron opened the door looking pleased to see Harry.

"Hey." he smiled softly moving to them looking concerned.

"Hey, where's Monie?" Harry asked hoping that she was alright.

"Come one, she's resting." Ron opened the door for him realizing he still had his cloak on and that he was holding something. "Want me to take your cloak?" he offered knowing that his home was stifling hot to keep Hermione comfortable.

Mr. and Mrs. Granger followed to help their daughter, it was clear they were as worried for her as everyone else.

"Not yet." Harry smiled moving to the bed as Hermione sat up, "Hey sister, I have a surprise for the both of you."

"Really?" Hermione looked intrigued as Ron moved to sit beside her. Her round belly shifting as the baby moved. Her face was drawn and the lines of pain were clear.

"Yes." Harry pulled back the cloak as Ron gasped. "Look who's home." he whispered as Rosie smiled at her mom.

"Mommy." Rosie launched herself at her mom crying in relief. Clinging to her as Ron wrapped his arms around his baby the sobs broke out.

"How?" Hermione looked up at Harry through tears as she held her daughter close. Rocking back and forth to clam herself and Rosie.

Through tears of joy Hermione parents joined the hug not wanting to take Rosie out of her momma's arms just yet. "We missed you baby."

"I missed you too Grandma." Rosie whispered looking up at her and her grandpa but not letting go of her mother.

Harry told them what they knew so far and that they were raiding the agency that was 'adopting' the kids out. "We are working on this and we will find this Bastard." he promised softly rubbing Rosie' back to help calm her.

"I need to tell mom." Ron whispered as the tears fell, all the months of praying for his baby to return to them. Looking back Harry had been right, holding on to their faith and love brought her home.

"I'll stay until you get back" Harry promised watching Hermione and Rosie. Listening to his Goddaughter tell her mother everything that had happened over the months he reflected on how grateful he was at that moment. He had never told Ron or Hermione but he had thought they would be planning a funeral when they found her. Being gone for six months was usually a death sentence for anyone taken. Keeping his hope up for closure ended better than he had ever dream possible.

Hermione held Rosie as if nothing else mattered at the moment, hell, in all reality, nothing did. She had her baby home, her family was finally back together. Feeling her son kick her she broke our into a smile, she would get through this and everything was going to be alright. Looking up as the Floo activated she smiled at Molly. "Mom." she smiled seeing that she had paused watching Rosie a moment as if she couldn't believe it.

"Grandma!" Rosie sat up clearly thrilled to see her, "I missed you." jumping off the bed she ran to hug Molly.

Mrs. Granger laughed watching Rosie as she then ran and hugged her and Grandpa seeming to realize that they were there. She couldn't blame the child, she was just thrilled to have her finally home.

"I never thought this day would come." Molly whispered sitting beside Harry. Watching as Rosie was swung into the air by her daddy she smiled, everything was alright.

"Thank you Harry." Ron turned to him knowing that he owed him everything at that moment. "I owe you."

"You don't owe me anything, we're family and this is what family does, we hold on to each other and catch each other when we fall." Harry swallowed the tears as Rosie crawled back into the bed with her mother.

Draco looked up from his papers as the Floo activated, he was thrilled that little Rosie was finally found. Standing he moved to his husband as Lucius, Severus and Narcissa moved into the room, "How is she?" he asked looking worried, "Does she know who did this? What happened?" he fired off the steady stream of questions as Harry stepped into the living room.

Harry couldn't help but smile as he pulled his worried lover close, "She is just fine, not one mark on her," Kissing him tenderly to halt the questions, "She is home with her parents. She was very helpful and told us everything she remembered. Neville is raiding the agency that adopted her out, hoping to find this guy and maybe the other child that was taken."

"Well, I guess you were right Harry, all you had to do was hold on to hope." Narcissa smiled.
