Images that Dunstan sends to Kenneth
Chapter 18
Harry and Draco's POV
Back at the Ministry Harry, Draco, Ron and Hermione were despairing over the fact that they had nothing to go on that would help them find Dunstan. Just then the fire in the grate turned green and a harassed looking official from the Department of Magical Law Enforcement appeared. 'What's going on?' Draco asked. The official stopped to catch his breath and when he recovered he told them. 'Lucius Malfoy escaped from Azkaban.' The four of them froze. 'Of course, he's behind this,' Harry growled. 'At least now we know where Dunstan will be,' Hermione pointed out. Harry, Draco and Ron all looked at her. 'He'll have taken him to the Manor,' Harry realized. 'Exactly,' Hermione nodded.
Having now found out where Dunstan would be and who was responsible for his disappearance the group of four wasted no time in getting together everything that they would need and preparing to leave. While they were getting ready the alarm on one of the two way mirrors went off. Draco answered it. Professor McGonagall's face appeared and she looked apprehensive. 'What is it Professor?' he asked concerned. Professor McGonagall sighed. 'It appears that your other children have gone missing,' she informed. Draco stared at her. Harry had heard what she had said and he was beyond pissed off. Now not only did they have Dunstan to worry about but it also appeared their other children had decided to take off. Both Harry and Draco knew beyond a doubt that they would have gone looking for their brother. They could only hope that nothing would happen to them on the way. Both sighed and decided it would be best to head to the manor, maybe they would meet their other children there.
Nontuplets POV
After meeting in the room of requirement the eight siblings crept out and headed for the entrance hall. Realising that they may need food the boys went down to the kitchen to get some.
When they returned the siblings hurriedly exited the castle and stood on the lawn. Esther turned to Kenneth. 'Do you know where Dunst is Kenny?' she asked. 'I have a vague idea of the direction to go in,' he told her. Suddenly he froze. 'What's wrong?' Christabel asked anxiously. Kenneth didn't say anything. He was getting images of what was going with Dunstan. He saw a room with a fireplace that was richly decorated . A man that long silver blond hair and silvery grey eyes was standing over Dunstan. Kenneth came back to the present with a start. 'What is it?' Bertram asked. 'I saw who was holding Kenneth,' he told his brothers and sisters. 'He looked a bit like papa except older.' His brothers and sisters frowned at each other. 'We'll worry about that later,' Leander insisted, 'Kenneth has a vague sense of the direction that we need to go in so we should get moving. We'll go to the Forbidden Forest and use the Thestrels.' The others agreed with this plan and the group headed off into the Forest.
When they summoned the Thestrels they climbed on two to a Thestrel. 'Which way, Kenny?' Hortensia called out. 'East,' he called back. So the band of siblings took off Eastwards.
While they were flying Kenneth kept getting images from Dunstan. They were mostly of a ruined Manor house and the room he was in. Hold on Dunst ,please. Kenneth begged silently.
Narcissa's POV
Narcissa was in a state of shock. She had just been informed by her son that Lucius had escaped form Azkaban. Not only that but her ex-husband had kidnapped Dunstan as well. I have to go to the Manor, she thought to herself, that's where he'll be. She hurried over to the fireplace and grabbed a handful of floo powder. She threw it into the flames stepped in and cried in a clear voice: 'Malfoy Manor!' She shut her eyes and tucked her elbows in tightly as she began to spin unpleasantly.
Soon she came to a stop at the fireplace at the Manor. She stepped out onto the carpet and gasped at the sight she saw. Her ex-husband was standing over her badly beaten grandson. Hearing her gasp Lucius turned around. 'Narcissa, you've come back to me!' he exclaimed. He came towards her, placed a hand on her shoulder and leant into to kiss her. Narcissa finally came back to herself in time to slap Lucius hard across the face. Lucius stumbled backwards and glared at her furiously. Narcissa glared right back at him. 'You bastard!' she screamed, 'you complete and utter bastard! You've done a lot of bad things but this is by far the worst. You kidnapped your own grandson. Not that you even thought about him as a grandson.' Throughout Narcissa rant Lucius had become more and more angry. 'Shut up bitch,' he finally snarled. He pointed his wand at her, uttered a curse and Narcissa fell to the floor. Narcissa struggled to hold on to consciousness but it was no good. The world began to spin crazily and then everything went black.
