Chapter 13: A Brother's Story Pt. 1
Scorpius P.O.V.
As soon as the newbie auror, Erick Ryrit, got me from where I was researching, I was sure they had had a breakthrough. They had ideas, but they wanted to send me to Lytle's brother's house to look for Rosserin. I was a bit disappointed. So, Gunner, James, and I got prepared and apparated to a small cottage in the countryside. It was nice, small, it was a home that Rose would like. They told me that Rose had stopped by with my dad of all people and had given them the clues. We walked to the door, pulling out our wands and we were met by the stare of a kindly faced woman. She looked us up and down and said, "Can I help you?"
"You sure can!" I said, trying to push into the house, but James caught my arm; he wasn't one for discipline, but he knew this could become a bad situation and that we shouldn't use our power of the law right away.
"You may come in." The woman looked around, worriedly.
"Thank you." Gunner said, nodding and walking into the house/cottage.
"It's May, right?" I asked, extending my hand, "Is your husband home?"
"I'm sorry, he's been gone for about an hour, he had some errands to run." She answered.
James stepped forward, "We would like to search your house, ma'am."
"Um, don't you have to have permission to do that?" She stuttered.
"We do, ma'am, we have a note from the acting Head Auror that gives us permission because we believe that you may be hiding a fugitive." Gunner handed her the note.
A young boy poked his head out of a room and said, "Mommy? Why do these men keep coming to our house? Daddy already talked to two of them."
May went to him and whispered to him to go back into the kitchen and wait for her. James said, "Others have visited? Which ones?"
"Uh- they- the p-people that v-visited earlier this week were, um, were Albus and Harry Potter." May's head facesd down.
James's anger flared and I yelled, "If they're dead, I don't even know what I'll do to your whole family!"
Gunner held me back and said, "You two search the house, I'll talk more to May and the children."
James nodded and we spread out around the house. James called for me a moment later and said that he heard movement under the floor. He was standing on a rug and was quietly listening. I heard it too and I told him to get off of the rug. He stepped off and underneath it was a little door. We exchanged a glance before lifting it cautiously. It revealed two dirty, tired-looking Potters. Albus and Harry stared up at us and smiled, just smiled. James started talking to them and yelling from excitement at finally finding them. He reached down and grabbed Albus's wrist, pulling him up. I did the same to Harry. And we embraced, all four of us, in a manly group hug. But our celebration was destroyed by the appearance of Barry Rosserin. He was in the entrance and Gunner was trying to talk him down from shooting a spell at his chest. James and I ran into the room and Barry took off.
James and I followed after him and he swerved into the nearby forest. The woods were thick, but James and I kept up. We threw spells at him and he threw thwem back at us. James finally disarmed him effectively and we kept the chase. We hopped over logs, crossed a little stream, leaped over boulders and dodge low-hanging branches and bushes. We finally caught up to him when we reached a wide river. James body-bound him and I searched his body for alternate weapons before levitating him back to the cottage. I had a twisted ankle, but other than that, we were fine. When we got back to the house, we took Barry and May into custody. Gunner transported the children to the Ministry and Albus and Harry apparated back to the Ministry as well.
We automatically brought Barry in for questioning, but let the very shaken up May sit for a while with Brenda, another trusted auror. I slammed Barry into the chair, releasing him from the full body-bind, but I quickly bound him to the chair and table. He was scowling and he was breathing heavily. He spoke and he made me angrier with every word, "I will not be treated this way! I am a British citizen, I'll have a report drawn up on you before you can blink, I'll make sure you are fired! I'll-"
"SHUT-UP!" James's voice rang out from the corner, "You won't because you have broken the law! You ran away from Ministry officials. You kidnapped two aurors! And I do believe that you and your brother are working for the same team!"
"I-I- I don't know what you're talking about." Barry stated.
"Don't play dumb Barry, let's go over this like civilized people," I seethed, "Where is my son? Where is he!"
"I-I do not know sir. I haven't and idea!" Barry shook his head rapidly.
"You may not know where hios baby is, but you know for sure how those people got into your little cellar." James told him matter-of-factly, "We have people casing your cellar right now. We will find out what's going on, Barry, don't kid yourself."
I nodded, "Let's start from the beginning, I have been told that you did in fact see your brother the day after the kidnapping."
"I did, but I told him he couldn't stay." Barry said, wide-eyed.
"See, isn't that easier? Cooperating with us isn't hard." James said, "Now, why would you keep the two aurors captive? Did you have something to hide?"
Barry nodded, "I was trying to help my brother,."
"Why would you do that?" I asked.
"He's my brother! What about that don't you understand?" Barry screamed, trying to move from his chair.
"He is a convicted felon, and you possibly harbored him and protected him! You are guilty, too!" James said! .
"I know, I know…. Here's what happened…."
TO BE CONTINUED!
