Chapters 13, thank you for reviewing. I own nothing in this chapter but Jessica, her boys, and Luke Kingston.
I had never meant to get anyone else in trouble for what I had chosen to do, but as I stood in Kingsley's office I knew that I was going down and bringing everyone with me.
"Ted Remus Lupin, you kidnapped John and Remus Lupin and hid them away from their guardian Victoire Weasley, is this correct?" Kingsley asked as Harry stood with Jessica and Ginny against the wall where they were being kept by three hit wizards.
"Yes," I whispered as I tried not to look at the panic look in Jessica's eyes or the calculating look in Harry's.
"Who were you accomplices in this…operation?" Kingsley asked as he tried to keep his personal behavior out of doing his job as Minister.
I looked down at the floor then back into his eyes and whispered "No one, I did this all on my own. Harry, Ginny, and Jessica only found out this morning when I was coming here to turn myself in."
"Teddy no," Jessica managed to yell before my godfather clamped a hand over her mouth.
Kingsley threw a warning look toward Harry then said "Ted, these are some very major crimes. I'm sorry Teddy, but I have to do my job and therefore I have to have you arrested and tooken to Azkaban."
"I understand Minister," I whispered as I slowly stood up from the chair.
"Potter, arrest him and read him his rights." Kingsley whispered as he sat down in his seat.
Harry handed a now crying Jessica to Ginny and slowly walked over to me. "Ted Lupin you are here by sentenced to Azkaban prison to await your trial on the account of kidnapping. Do not say anything until you have a lawyer present and he tells you to speak."
Just as he was about to pull me from the room the door to the Minister's office burst open and Victoire shouted "Stop you can't arrest him, I don't want to press charges on him!"
Everyone was beyond shock as she hurried over to Jessica, and was even more surprised when she hugged her.
"I am so sorry Jess; please just give me a chance to explain. I know I don't deserve it but please let me explain." Victoire said as she kept throwing nervous looks at the door. "But I can't do it here, we need to go to the Burrow and the whole family needs to be there."
"Why, Victoire what's wrong?" Ginny asked as she seemed to notice the nervousness as well.
Victoire looked at her aunt and whispered "He'll kill me if he finds out I told you, please can we do this somewhere more private?"
Harry and Ginny looked at Kingsley who sighed and said "Fine, but Ted I want you here first thing in the morning to answer a few more questions."
I nodded quickly and said "Of course Minister, I won't let you down."
"Teddy now," Harry ordered as he ushered everyone else through the floo.
I ran over and we flooed together to the home of Molly and Arthur Weasley. The first thing I heard when we finally arrived was Victoire shouting "What are you doing here you monster?"
Okay so here's a chapter to hold you all over until I can get the next up which I'm hoping is very soon…maybe even later tonight. Please review and if you're reading or have read my story about Elizabeth Black I would very much appreciate it if you voted on my poll thanks, oh and don't forget to review!
