Wallburga and Elisa left the hectic and hysterical bookshop breathless and clutching their autographed books. After an initial struggle with a couple of troll like women, they finally got the attention of the manager and got upgraded to the top thanks to the name 'Black'.
"Well, that was worth it" said Elisa, her robes torn in the bottom.
"Mmm, yes. I'm so curious to read about his adventures in Egypt."
"Yes" said Elisa chuckling, "or more like his shirtless pictures while he was in Egypt."
"Really, Elisa!" said Wallburga, but not really shocked. She had long gotten used to her husband's sister who was coarse, vulgar and well...cheap.
"Come on, Wallburga" said Elisa. "I'm a healthy woman. And between you and me Cygnus just doesn't cut it. And it's fine, I know Orion's my brother but you can say the truth-" she said laughing.
"I don't know what you mean" said Wallburga icily. "My needs are perfectly satisfied by my husband."
"Well at least you admit you have needs" said Elisa, sighing. Her sister in law definitely needed to loosen up.
They entered the ice cream parlor, and saw Sirius yelling at the manager.
"I know there's a bathroom in here! My brother's in there! Where is it?"
"Sirius, what's going on?" said Wallburga astonished. Elisa looked on gleefully.
"Mother" said Sirius with tears in his eyes. "Mother" then he ran and grabbed her and sobbed into her robes "Regulus left to the bathroom 15 minutes ago and I don't know where he is and the man says there is no bathroom."
Wallburga looked sharply at the manager who gulped.
Five minutes later the ice cream parlor was full of law enforcement agents and ten minutes later they were joined by aurors and even the deputy prime minister. The whole Diagon Alley was shut and sealed off and Daily Prophet reporters were trying to get in the parlor.
Wallburga was seated at one of the colorful tables and crying hysterically. "My husband's going to kill me, I left the children alone."
"Wallburga, don't be ridiculous" said Elisa, who was now white in the face. "I'm sure he's fine and will be found soon. These things simply don't happen in Diagon Alley."
She continued sobbing in her handkerchief, while Sirius was in no better condition. "Mother, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, it's all my fault."
The deputy minister was eyeing them nervously, such a thing has indeed never happened before in Diagon Alley where a child was missing for almost half an hour. And for it to happen to Orion Black's son was frightening.
At that moment a loud pop was sounded and Orion Black himself was standing in the parlor. He strode quickly, ignoring the deputy minister's outstretched hand and went straight to Wallburga.
"What happened?" he asked harshly. "How did he go missing?"
"Orion, I left them alone. It was only for a while, I swear" she sobbed. She made herself get up but he turned his back on her.
"The Diagon Alley is being searched, I presume?" he asked the room.
"Yes" said the deputy minister, "by our very best aurors."
"Well then…Manager."
"Yes, that's me" said the Manager Wilfred, an already nervous man who was now nearing a breakdown.
"Do you have any doors leading to outside, the muggle world?"
"Well, yes there is one."
"Show me the way."
