~Chapter 3~

"So Minerva finally wishes to make amends with Adara?" asked Moody as he took a gulp from his hip flask, after the two brothers filled the Order in on the events that had just taken place.

"No, I daresay she's wanted to for a while. It's only now that she's admitting to it." Answered Aiden as he looked around at the other listening order members.

"Well, no excuse like being on your death bed to get your child running back to you, eh?"Answered Dung, earning glares from Molly, Tonks, and Hermione and a whack on the head from Moody.

"How could someone do this to their own family? Just walk out on them like that and never speak to them again?" asked Harry angrily.

"Oh its possible, and quite easily done, might I add." Said , thinking of his son Percy.

"What can we do to help?" asked , with tears in her eyes.

"I was hoping either Tonks or Kingsley knew anything about her. Which part of the ministry she worked, where she lives…any information that would be of use to us."

"I don't know if I can be of much help to you there. I only know her as my boss, and just the fact that she's one of the best aurors the Ministry ever had." Said Tonks apologetically. " You should ask Kingsley though. He'd know, after all he dated her for a few years."

"TONKS!" hissed Kingsley across the room.

"You what!?!" exclaimed Aiden.

"How could that possibly surprise you? Siamese twins sleep alone more than Adara does!" exclaimed Alberic as he shook his head at his brother's shock.

To everyone's surprise, it wasn't Aiden who responded, but Kingsley. "How dare you. Up until 30 seconds ago you didn't even know where your sister worked, or even where she lived and yet here you go making false accusations and judgments! If you must know, my relationship with Adara was much more than just a few fun nights every now and then. It was an actual meaningful and loving relationship! One that I had hoped would last forever…."

"Calm down, lad. Alberic didn't mean it. Right Alberic?" asked Moody as he stepped in front of the taller, younger man in an attempt to calm him down.

"Of course." Said Alberic quickly, clearly intimidated. "So are you going to help us out or what?"
Kingsley glared at the auburn haired man and his obnoxious attitude. Fighting the urge to hex him.

"Please, Kingsley?" pleaded Aiden.

Kingsley sighed. "Alright. I'll assist you as much as I can."

"Thanks, mate." Said Alberic as he clapped Kingsley on the back, smiling.

Kingsley shrugged the other man off. "I'm not doing this for you. I'm doing this for Adara. She deserves all the happiness in the world and this may grant her that."

Aiden smiled at the older man's gesture towards his sister.

"Well than lead the way. Off to Adara's house we go!" said Alberic brightly.

"Wait! I want to go with you." Said Harry as he stood up to catch up with the other three men.

"Harry! It's none of your business! This is between their family!" exclaimed Hermione.

"I know! It's just….I feel slightly responsible for the split between them. Dumbledore spent a lot of time focusing on me and ended up losing his family." He said sadly

Aiden turned around and looked Harry straight in the eye "Harry, what happened to our family was not your fault. I don't want you to ever feel responsible for it. However, if you truly feel responsible for what happened you may come along. That way you can get some closure."

Alberic grinned. "Alright then. The more the merrier. See you all later!"

The four wizards walked out of Grimmauld Place where the all apparated away to Adara's home, ready to meet their sister face to face for the first time in 16 years.
