Thanks to CrayonsPink for giving me my first review!!
Chapter One: Unexpected Visitor
"Please Gin, I really need it. It's important this time." But Ginny Potter just rolled her eyes.
"That's what you said last time, Charlie, and what did you do? You spent 50 galleons on a golden compass."
"Oh come on, it was worth it!" said Charlie Weasley as he followed his younger sister into the kitchen, "Please Ginny! I only need 42 galleons this time."
Again, Ginny rolled her eyes. This is getting ridiculous, she thought.
"And what, may I ask, are you going to use this money for?"
At those words, as if on cue, Charlie stepped back, a dreamy look in his eyes, and said dramatically, "I am going to buy…a rare…one of a kind…Norwegian Shortsnout dragon egg!"
"Well, whoop-de-doo for you!"
"Come on Ginny!"
Back in the living room, Harry Potter and Ronald Weasley were playing wizard's chess. Hermione Weasley was sitting with them. As she heard the yelling from the kitchen, she looked up and said, "Do they always fight like this?"
"Yes." Harry and Ron replied at the same time. Ron was in check, and he was concentrating very hard on the game. He smiled as he took out Harry's bishop with a knight. Harry scowled, then looked up and said, "Ever since Charlie arrived here from Romania, he's been trying to get money out of Ginny."
Ron looked up, "Charlie's always been like that. Before he went to Romania, he would do things like serve Mum breakfast in bed and polish Dad's shoes to get them to pay for the trip. I should know, I always had to help him—"
Ron was cut of by the shatter of a plate, two men yelling, and a scream. Ron, Hermione, and Harry ran into the kitchen to find Charlie sprawled on the floor, and standing in front of him Draco Malfoy, holding Ginny under his arm.
"Where is he?" he said, wand pointed at Ginny's throat.
Hermione quickly bent down next to Charlie.
"He's dead" she said, tears in her eyes.
"Charlie…" Ron's voice was barely audible and his face was completely white. Hermione looked at him, then to Harry, who had his wand pointed at Malfoy.
"Where is he?" Malfoy repeated.
"Let go of her!" said Harry.
"Not until you tell me where you're keeping him!" Malfoy said, "Tell me or else your pretty little wife here gets—"
"You killed Charlie!!" screamed Ron. He was turning from red to scarlet to purple, "You…killed him!"
"Ron," Hermione started, but he didn't hear, he didn't care.
"First Fred, now—"
"Ron, please…" Ginny was crying now, but suddenly she bagan clutching her throat and Harry realized that she was suffocating. Malfoy had used a spell to block her airway.
"Shut up Weasley," Malfoy said, "You make me—"
"I WILL NOT LET YOU KILL MY SISTER TOO!!" Ron lunged at Malfoy, but Malfoy just flicked his wand and sent Ron flying across the room. Hermione gasped as Ron hit the wall, knocking him unconscious. Meanwhile, Ginny was still choking.
Malfoy directed his attention back to Harry and Hermione, "Where is my son, Scorpius?"
"Please, please stop it!" Harry cried. He didn't dare hex Malfoy, in fear that he would hurt Ginny even more, "Get away form her!" But Ginny's desperate gasps continued, "What happened to your son? Honestly, we didn't do anything!"
"I know you took him!" Malfoy looked close to insanity now.
Harry couldn't take it anymore; Ginny was turning blue. He sent Malfoy flying into the sink. Malfoy was dragging Ginny with him, but the suffocating seemed to stop. She lay on the floor, coughing and breathing heavily. Harry kneeled down next to her, but Hermione kept her wand on Malfoy.
"What makes you think Harry took him?" she asked.
Malfoy looked down at Harry and Ginny suspiciously, and said, "If you didn't take Scorpius, then why did he disappear exactly the same time as your daughter?"
"Lily!" gasped Ginny.
Harry's heart seemed to have stopped. His daughter, his only daughter, was missing. No one knew where she was. His-daughter-was-gone.
"H-Hermione, please take Ron and Charlie upstairs," Harry said, his voice wavering. They needed to talk to Malfoy alone. Hermione nodded and hover charmed them out of the kitchen.
When she left, Harry turned back to Malfoy and said, "What happened to Lily?" There was a sense of panic in his voice. His worst fear was for his children to be in danger, especially his youngest and only daughter. He turned to look at Ginny. She had not said a word and her face was flooded with concern. She stared intently at Malfoy, but clung to Harry.
Malfoy looked curiously from Ginny to Harry and then said quietly, "You really have no idea what happened."
Ginny finally spoke, "What did happen?", then her concern was replaced with anger, "What did you do to her?"
"Calm down Weasley," Malfoy said quickly, "I don't know where she is. I got a letter from a teacher at Hogwarts, saying that two children were missing, my son and your daughter. They believe that the children were kidnapped," he shook his head, "My wife, Asteria, has been worried sick. You're sure you don't know anything abut his?" His voice became accusing again.
But Harry didn't hear the question; he began panicking. Thus far, he had been able to keep his past from interfering with his family. Who could possibly want to hurt them now? It has been 21 years since the final battle. Harry's instinct was to think of Voldemort, but that was impossible. Harry saw him die, he had killed him himself. Had they missed a horcrux, or had Voldemort possibly found yet another way to immortality? Harry's stomach churned. He did not want to have to deal with Voldemort again, especially if his children were involved this time, which reminded him:
"What about James and Albus?"
"Who?" Malfoy asked, utterly confused.
"My sons, James and Albus," Harry said impatiently.
Malfoy laughed, "Who in bloody hell would name their sons 'Albus' and 'James'?"
Harry was getting annoyed. He was about to say something when Ginny stood up and said, "We've had enough of this, Malfoy. We just want to know where our children are. If you can't tell us that, then leave. You've done enough damage."
"God, Weasley, one little comment and you're off—"he stopped, seeing Ginny's glare and said, "I don't know anything about your sons. All I know is that Scorpius and the other girl were kidnapped last night. Now I will gladly leave this pitiful box you call a house and go to Hogwarts to get more information." And with a loud pop, Malfoy disapperated.
