"I am going to make sure that prophecy will never be fulfilled whatever it is, I need you bring me that child, and when I get back, I will deal with her, I want her alive as well as her parents."

Minerva sat twiddling her thumbs. She hardly ever did this, but she had an awful feeling. It had been only an hour since Albus had been called away, and he had been called away before, but Minerva just couldn't shake this feeling she had.

She went to check on Arianna, she was sound asleep in her crib, Minerva brushed her fingers on her cheek, and moved the golden heart shaped locket that Albus had gotten for her. The locket shined in what little light was being let in through the hall, she could see the letters of her name engraved on the back. Arianna M.D. Minerva smiled, she quietly left the room and went back downstairs, the bad feeling, still lingering.

She sat for a while, just twiddling her thumbs, waiting for her husband to get home. She heard a pop outside, her hand flew to her wand and her head snapped towards the door. She waited.

Nothing.

Then suddenly, just as she was about to relax, the front door burst open, Minerva stood, wand at the ready as three Death Eaters walked into the room. Her eyes went wide, and she gasped, she began to throw curses at them, and they threw curses back. Furniture broke, lights exploded and glass shattered.

Then, the cry of a baby was heard, and all the curses stopped. Minerva went towards the stairs, and she realized that they were here for her daughter. She quickly threw a curse at them and while they were distracted she ran up the stairs.

But the Death Eaters were quick to regain composure, and threw curses at her to try and stop her. One flew past her head, exploding the railing infront of her, she ducked and dodged a few more curses before firing more back at them, desperate to keep them away long enough for her to grab her daughter and apparate away.

She ran down the hall, but just as she was going to burst into her daughter's room, a curse hit her square in the back. Minerva dropped. The Death Eaters slowly walked towards her, she was still consious and trying to get back up, a Death Eater was quick to disarm her and kick her out of the way, hitting her with the cruitaius curse as the other two kicked open the nursery door. As the entered the room, they could hear Minerva's sceams start and stop as the Death Eater outside the room played with her.

The others walked slowly into the room to where the baby was crying. One picked up the babe, and nodded to the other, an left the room, the shuffled down the hall, hearing both mother and daughter's screams.

The last thing Minerva saw was her daughter screaming, being carelessly carried away. She tried to fight the curse on her to get to her daughter. But the Death Eater stunned her and she lost consciousness.

As the Death Eaters were leaving, they noticed an odd burning sensation on their left arms. They stopped outside of the house, one looked at his arm and watched at the dark mark faded. They looked at each other, not sure of what it meant. One of the Death Eater's cast the Dark Lords symbol above the house, and they apparated away, unaware at that moment, that their Lord was gone.

Voldemort had been defeated But at the expense of James and Lily's lives. Albus apparated back to his home. Walking up the path, looking at the ground, he thought of how his wife would react to hear about their deaths. He sighed and looked up at the house. He stopped, his eyes widening and jaw dropping.

The dark mark, was floating above his house. He ran, up the path, and through the broken door.

"Minerva!" He called frantically as he saw the broken furniture, and glass. His heart was beating a mile a minute, he searched the downstairs and saw nothing, running up the stairs, his worry only grew. He turned into the hallway and saw his wife lying unconscious on the ground outside of their daughter's bedroom.

He called her name again and ran to her, dropping to his knees. He took her pulse, seeing that see was alive, let out a breath, but then looked up to the broken door of the nursery. He put down Minerva's wrist, and stood, running into the room. He looked all around, but Arianna wasnt there. He ran to other rooms of the house searching for her, but she wasn't to be found.

He ran back to Minerva, picked her up and quickly apparated to St. Mungo's. Tears streaming down his face.

"What do we do with her now!? We can't just give her back, with a note saying 'hey yeah, sorry we took your kid, here she is, we don't need her now!" A Death Eater yelled, over the wails of the baby laying on the table.

"Kill her!" One said.

"We can't do that, what if the Dark Lord returns, he will want to use her, he is Albus Dumbledore's child afterall." Another said

"Leave her on a muggle's doorstep in the middle of no where, that'll take of her!, And if we need her, we can just take her." Another said, and that is just what the Death Eaters decided to do. The apparated to a small muggle farm, and left the screaming girl on the door step and quickly apparated away.

Albus sat in his wife's room at St. Mungo's, squeezing her hand, waiting for her to wake up. The healers said that she would be alright physically she would just need time to gain consciousnesses.

He didn't know how to tell her. First to tell her that the Potter's were dead, and now to tell her that their child had been kidnapped as was most likely dead. He could barley cope with it himself, how he was going to be able to tell her, he didn't know. But he knew he had to.

Isobel was sitting on the other side, her tears had stopped and she just sat watching her daughter. Poppy had been in and out of the room all day, telling them if they needed anything, that everyone was willing to help them.

Fillius and a few other staff members were cleaning the mess that was their house at the moment. Severus was brewing dreamless sleep potions as well as others they thought Minerva might need in the next few days. School was out for an early break to celebrate the downfall of Voldemort and to mourn the deaths of friends and family.

Minerva began to stir, and Albus looked up to her face, moving closer to the edge of his seat. As she opened her eyes and looked around, Albus brushed some hair from her face.

"Albus," she whispered, not understanding why she was here at first, but she soon paled and a look of fright came across her face as she remembered what had happened, and tried to get up out of the bed.

"Albus, Arianna, they, they.." she couldn't continue as Albus stood, gently pushing her back down into the bed, and shushing her.

"Minerva, Voldemort has been defeated," he chose to start with, Minerva stopped fighting him and looked at him in shock.

"Lily and James are dead, they died protecting Harry, who defeated Voldemort." Albus told her gravely, Minerva's eyes grew watery and she looked away, a few tears falling before she looked up again, struggling to regain composure.

"Albus where is Arianna?" She asked needing to see her baby. Albus didn't respond, he sadly looked down, trying to stay strong for Minerva's sake.

"Albus, where is my daughter?" She asked more firmly, her lip trembling fearing the answer she would get from him. Isobel sobbed, and immediately left the room, Minerva hadn't even realized she had been there until she left sobbing, which didn't help the situation.

"Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore, where is my daughter!?" She raised her voice, fear etched all over her face, Albus looked up and into her eyes, and Minerva began to shake her head.

"She is gone. They took her, I don't know if she is aliv-" He began to say but Minerva's raised hand stopped him.

"No, no don't even finish that sentence " She sobbed, the tears streaming down her face now. Albus moved to sit on her bed, he went to hold her, but she moved away from him.

"Minerva," He started

"No, don't Minerva me, if I had just been quicker! If I had just, just-" She couldn't finish, devastated at the loss of her child. Albus realized that she blamed herself, he engulfed her in a hug, ignoring her attempts to not allow him to hold her, but after a while she gave up and collapsed in his arms.

They sat there for a long time. Both of them crying at everything that had happened.

Over the next few months, all of the staff helped Minerva and Albus get back on their feet. Minerva kept her composure around her colleges, she hadn't talked much, but she had tried to be strong.

Some days, when she was alone, she would go into Arianna's room, and pick up the stuffed bunny her daughter had loved, and sat in the rocking chair, holding the bunny to her chest, tears threatening to fall. She just hoped to whatever god there was out there that her daughter was alive.
