Harry let himself be led through the floo into the kitchen of the burrow. Molly had been alerted to what had happened and had cleared out the grandkids and made sure the kitchen was calm when he arrived. Harry was led to a chair by his husband and father in law and made to sit.
"You'll get her back" Molly assured him
Arthur nodded "Ginny won't hurt her Harry."
Harry was cradling his head in his hands "It's her birthday in two days."
They all knew that Harry had not been apart from his daughter for more then a night. Hermione came over to him "She'll be back in your arms before you know it"
Lucius came over with a cup of tea that he had taken from the stove "Harry drink this"
Harry wanted to refuse it but his father in law pressed it into his hands and he drank it. Harry started to feel a bit light headed but he did not have the strength to fight it. He allowed himself to slip into the welcoming darkness.
Draco held his husband against him "You slipped him a sleeping potion" he accused his father.
Molly was the one who nodded "Harry needs some rest. He is no good to anyone when he is this stressed out."
Draco nodded and scooped his husband into his arms and carried him up stairs and placed him in the bed in Percy's old room. He pulled the blankets over his husband and kissed him on the forehead.
"We'll get her back Harry" he whispered and left the room.
Downstairs his father turned to him "He needed rest and we knew he would not agree to take anything."
Draco nodded "We have to find her. We have to find our daughter."
Lucius took his son into his arms "We'll find your little girl Draco. I promise you we will not rest until you and Harry are holding her in your arms again."
Arthur looked at Draco "The ministry has everyone on it. We will all help as well. We will find her and bring her back."
His mum handed him some tea but he refused it "I don't need any."
His dad pressed him to take it "Harry is going to need your strength tomorrow. You both need to get some rest."
Draco reluctantly headed up to bed with the tea in hand. He knew they were right, he would need his rest. He left with their promise that the search would be going through the night. He sipped the tea and slid into bed next to his husband. He held Harry tight to him and fell asleep.

In the morning Harry woke in the comforting warmth of his husband's arms and for a few precious moments he thought it had all been a bad dream. He expected to open his eyes and see his daughter in the crib. He even climbed to his feet and walked over to the travel crib that had been left there.
He felt Draco's arms around him "We'll find her Harry, and our daughter will be in our arms again."
Harry looked at the teddy "She is going to be so scared. She doesn't even have Freddie. She is with a stranger and she'll be so scared."
Draco looked at the teddy their daughter was never without "Ginny is her mother. At least we know that Ginny will not harm her."
Harry turned into him and allowed his husband to hold him close "She doesn't know anything about Lily. What if she gets sick, or hurt?"
"Ginny will take her to a hospital. She will not want our daughter in pain." Draco tried to reassure him "She will not hurt Lily just to punish us."
Harry fought back the sobs "I just want her back for her birthday. I can't miss her birthday."
"We'll do everything to find her before her birthday" Draco tried to reassure him "Let's go downstairs and see if there is any news."
Harry nodded and allowed his husband to take him down into the kitchen where everyone from the night before was and had been joined by a few of the teachers from Hogwarts as well as his colleagues form Beauxbautons, including Gabrielle and Lucilla.
Gabrielle was crying when she came to hug Harry "I'm so sorry Harry. We're here to help. We'll get your little girl back for you.
Lucius had come up with an idea "I think we need to take this to the press, muggle and magic. Make a plea to the public."
Harry was reluctant but Draco agreed "Show the public what is going on. People will keep an eye out for her."
"How do we know that she has not left the country?"
"For any portkeys to be used they would show her signature. She has not left the country." Lucius assured him.
Harry finally agreed "Can you set up the interviews?"
Lucius went to arrange a press conference that would be held in muggle London but that reporters from newspapers in the wizarding world would also be asked to attend so that Harry and Draco did not have to go through with it twice. Harry was still staring at his full plate of food when he returned a half hour later to announce everything was set up.

Lucius stood with Harry and Draco on the steps of a bank in London that had been chosen as the location for the press conference. He agreed to make the initial statement for neither Harry nor Draco could seem to find the words to speak.
"Thank you for coming. As some of you may have heard Lily Potter, daughter of my son in law Harry Potter was kidnapped by her biological mother. Ginny Weasley, who had abandoned her daughter when she was three months old, kidnapped her daughter when given her visitation for one night. We are asking for anyone who has seen or has any information about her where abouts, to please contact the number we are giving."
There was a photo of Ginny as well as one of Lily posted and a number.
The questions went on and on from both the muggle and the magical reporters. He could even see Luna who was a reporter for the Quibller, there. Luna shot him a supportive smile any time his eyes drifted her way.
Draco whispered to Harry "It will work Harry. Look how many people we will be reaching."
Harry nodded and then stepped forward and spoke to the audience "I am speaking to anyone out there who is a parent. Any parent who ever knows what it feels like to not know where their child is. Please if you know where Ginny is with my daughter, please contact us. Lily is a baby, she is scared, and she doesn't know what's going on. Please if you know anything contact us, bring Lily back to me and my husband."
Draco came and wrapped an arm back around him and helped lead Harry off. Lucius came up "That went well. I am sure we will get tips soon."
"Are we wrong not to be offering a reward?" Narcissa asked
Lucius shook his head "The last thing we need is a mob going after her and scaring her off. We don't know what Ginny will do if she gets scared."
Harry shook his head "She wouldn't hurt her." But Harry was not sure who he was trying to convince, the others or himself.
Narcissa took her son and Harry by the arms "Let's get back to the Burrow. You guys won't be any good here."
Harry wanted to join the search but Draco and his parents argued that Harry was in no shape to do so "You're better to your daughter staying strong for her."
He let himself be led home but he refused to take anything to help him sleep. He agreed to take a calming draught though for his nerves were running thin, but he would not sleep he swore until his daughter was back in his arms.
Molly looked at him sadly as she watched him pick at his food again "You know all your brothers are out looking for her right now."
Harry nodded "Thank you."
Arthur came over to Harry "You know we're all here and we will all help bring her back. You're our son even if not by blood."

Later that evening Harry was sitting in a rocking chair in the sitting room. It was the rocking chair that Molly was rocked all of her children in and her grandkids had been rocked in when ever they were here for a visit. Harry had rocked his daughter in it when she had colic, when she had woken up with a bad dream. Instead he simply held his teddy bear in his arms.
Draco was sitting next to him and just watching him when the door burst open and Arthur came running in "They found them"
Harry scrambled to his feet "They found her, where is she? How is my daughter?"
"Harry I need you to calm down before I tell you something." Arthur said.
Lucius and Narcissa had come into the room when they heard Arthur return and as Draco lay a hand on Harry's arm Lucius said "What's wrong?"
Arthur took a deep breath before he told them "I'm not sure the details but Lily is at St Mungo's"
Harry would have dropped if Draco had not supported him and Lucius as well "The hospital?" knowing if nothing was wrong she would have been brought here or the ministry.
Arthur tried to calm him "It's possible that they just wanted to make sure that she was healthy" but he did not seem convinced either.
Harry could not take it any more "I need to get to the hospital now."
Draco led him to the fireplace and they took the floo to the hospital. Every possible scenario was running through his head. He prayed that this was the end of this nightmare; all he wanted was to be holding his daughter safe and sound in his arms.
They found a healer "I am told that the woman and child in the kidnapping were brought here?"
The man nodded "But unfortunately the media can not come any further."
Harry shook but Draco spoke "We're family"
The doctor sent an apologetic look and said "I'm sorry to have to tell you but..."
Editors note I decided I like cliff hangers. So what is the bad news the doctor is going to deliver? Review and I might put you out of your misery soon, maybe not.
