Chapter 17

Harry and Draco's POV

As soon as Harry and Draco arrived at the Ministry they decided that the most important thing was alert their friends and family to the fact that Dunstan was missing. Harry told Draco that he would tell Ron and Hermione first and get them to help them search. Draco agreed to this and said that he would let his mother know. Narcissa was the only grandparent the children had and Draco and his husband had made sure to include her in their children's lives.

Harry and Draco went up to the auror offices to make use of the two-way mirrors they had their. Harry called Ron first. As soon as Ron's face appeared in the two way mirror he could tell something was wrong. 'Harry, mate what's wrong?' Harry sighed and slumped into a seat. 'Dunstan's gone missing,' he told him, 'Esther contacted us when she and the others noticed that he had never come back from the Hogsmead station. We could really use your help. Draco and I are at the Ministry.' Ron didn't have to think twice. This was his best friend's son. 'Of course I'll help,' he assured Harry, 'I'll be there as soon as possible.' Harry offered him a weak smile and a thank you. Ron's face disappeared from the mirror.

While Harry had been calling Ron Draco was contacting Narcissa. He told her what was going on. Narcissa was horrified and Draco did his best to reassure her that they would find her grandson. Narcissa had every faith in her son and his husband. She knew they wouldn't rest until they'd found him.

After Harry had called Ron he contacted Hermione, told her what had happened and asked for her help.

It didn't take Ron and Hermione long to reach the Ministry and when they arrived they went straight for the auror offices. Hermione could tell that Harry and Draco were both very distraught. 'Don't worry we'll help you find them,' she assured. Harry smiled at her. 'Thanks Hermione,' he said. The four gathered around Harry's desk. 'What's the plan?' Ron asked. This question brought silence. 'Damn we have nothing to go on,' Draco cursed. 'Why don't we start with the fact that he went missing from the train station?' Hermione suggested.

Lucius' POV

Damn that boy! Lucius thought to himself. He sat in his study at the manor nursing a glass of fire whisky and glaring into the fire that was blazing in the fireplace. Just like Draco, disrespectful and arrogant just like that brat of a boy who I called my son. Lucius was furious that he couldn't break the boy. He saw a lot of Draco in Dunstan, not just the pale blond hair, silvery grey eyes and sharp features. Dunstan had Draco's defiance. The same defiance that could also be found in Potter but he also had Potter's bravery, which Lucius had always referred to as his stupidity. Seeing the traits of Potter and Draco reflected in the boy angered Lucius but he couldn't decide which one angered him the most.

Lucius thoughts soon turned from the boy to his wife. He could still vividly remember the day Narcissa left him.

Flashback

'Damnit, you can't leave me!' Lucius yelled at his wife. 'Just watch me,' Narcissa hissed back, 'it was stupid to get involved with Voldemort's schemes. You may still have your high opinions but mine have changed. I won't stay with Lucius.'
End flash back

After Narcissa had said that she had left and Lucius hadn't tried to stop her, realising that it was useless.

He briefly wondered if his was doing the right thing. He quickly shook that thought aside. He still had his pride and Damnit he would not back down! He would keep going until he finally broke the boy!

Dunstan's POV

I wonder if dad and papa no I'm gone, Dunstan thought to himself as he sat on the floor as the cold stone room. Of course they know I'm gone the others would have told them, he chided himself. He knew his parents would not rest until they found him but at the same time he knew his siblings would also be looking for him. He knew that Kenneth could feel his distress. He and Kenneth had always known about their ability to project emotions to each other. He suddenly wondered if he could project where he was being hidden to his brother. He knew he wouldn't be able to send him every tiny detail but perhaps he could send flashes and maybe that would be enough. He closed his eyes and began to concentrate. He used all of his determination to project the images. However his concentration was broken by the sound of the door opening and Lucius coming to get him.

Esther's POV

Back at Hogwarts Esther and Kenneth had arrived back at the Slytherin common room. Kenneth crept off to the boy's dormitory. Before Esther snuck into her dormitory she took her long, silvery blond hair out of its elaborate style and tied it up in a bun. Her emerald green eyes glittered with determination as she slunk up the stairs to get what she needed from her trunk.

Esther was sure to be very quiet as she entered the dormitory and got what she needed from her trunk. She got her cloak, scarf, glove and hat (she already had her wand with her) and then once she had done that she exited the room and met up with Kenneth in the common room.

Very quietly the two of them pushed open the door and quickly hurried off to meet their siblings at the room of requirement.
