Everyone quickly apparated to headquarters, that was still located at Grimmauld Place. Severus had an arm wrapped protectively around Hermione and Addison held securely to his chest, under his cloak.
"What the hell is going on Remus!" Severus said anxiously as they all rushed into the sitting room.
"Fenrir Greyback escaped from Azkaban. The Aurors caught wind that he was in the location of muggle London, where Matty was suppose to meet Abby."
"Was Abby already there!" Severus snapped, handing Addison to Hermione.
"I'm not sure Severus, we had to vacate the area. But, an Auror is suppose to contact me in a few moments as soon as they know anything."
Severus growled and punched the wall, before throwing his hands over his face. He stalked over and leaned up against the fireplace. Eileen followed, in hopes of comforting him.
"Was there any interaction between Greyback and Abby", Hermione asked quietly.
"I'm not positive. But, from what I was getting from the other Aurors, Graham was with his father", Remus replied as quietly as possible. Hermione gasped.
"Do you think they were tracking her down", Harry asked.
"It appears so. How else could they possibly know the exact date and time she was going to be in muggle London."
There was a loud crash and growl from Hermione's left. She jerked her head over and saw pieces of the wall laying to the floor.
"I should have killed that bastard when I had a chance", Lucius seethed, obviously having overheard the quiet conversation.
A loud pop of apparition caught everyone's ears. Wands were pulled out instinctively, pointing at a large figure. Kingsley Shacklebolt stood completely still, watching all wands pointed at him.
"Minister", Remus said in greeting.
Severus snapped his head in Kingsley direction, having been completely oblivious to his arrival. Severus starred wide eyed, in horror. Kingsley was now the minister of magic, his appearance here could only be grave news.
"Severus, it's not exactly what you think", Kingsley replied, noticing Severus starring at him and starting to shake. "As far as we know, Abby is still alive. We still can't seem to locate her."
Hermione shuffled over to Severus, handing Addison to Eileen, and wrapped an arm around his waist.
"What about Greyback", Severus said through clenched teeth.
"Fenrir Greyback escaped from Azkaban last night. We believe he had the assistance of his Son and possibly his wife. From what I make of this, Graham had to have been tracking Abby or somehow intercepted her owls. Fenrir and Graham were both spotted in muggle London, at the same time Abby was."
Severus' face grew very pale.
"The Aurors caught wind of magic being used in a public spot in muggle London, by Abby. Abby was trying to protect herself. We believe she was doing it on purpose to draw attention to herself and the two Greybacks, and to alert the Aurors. But, by the time we arrived, neither of the three were anywhere around the area."
"Did they take her", Severus asked a low, shaky voice.
"I don't know."
Severus' face turned even paler and he started to stumble backwards.
"Severus sit down", Hermione said, quickly conjuring a chair behind Severus and pushing him into it.
"We are doing everything we can to locate the three of them. I have Aurors checking all of the Greybacks homes to see if there is any evidence that they are there and have Abby. Severus, I promise you we are doing everything we can to locate Abby. We won't stop searching until we find her."
Severus nodded, his face and shoulders dropped.
"I must leave now. I will report back with any information as soon as possible." With that, Kingsley apparated out of headquarters.
A quiet murmur filled the room as everyone discussed amongst each other.
"Severus", Hermione whispered as she lowered her face to his.
"I can't just sit here, I need to go find Abby." Severus' voice trembled as he spoke. "I can't let them hurt her."
"The Aurors are searching everywhere, they will find her. I know you Severus, you will kill the Greybacks on sight. I'm not saying they don't deserve it but you don't need to end up in Azkaban. And we don't want Abby harmed in the process. Your two children need a father, especially after all Abby has been through."
"Abby's never going to forgive me. I was so horrible towards her, I wouldn't forgive me either."
"Shush Severus, we will assess that when Abby is back. You did hurt Abby, but she loves you."
Two days had gone by. Severus had manage to escape the house the morning after Kingsley had relayed the information. But, Severus had been drug back that night by Kingsley. The Aurors were on the right track and seemed to be getting very close to finding the Greybacks. Kingsley was afraid if Severus was present when they found the Greybacks and they had taken Abby, he would go ballistic and end up killing everyone in sight.
Severus now sat in his and Hermione's room, in headquarters, holding Addison. Hermione found the two sound asleep on the couch. As Hermione leaned down and started to lift Addison out of Severus' arms, Severus stiffened and his eyes flew open.
"It's alright love, it's just me. I'm going to lay Addison down", Hermione whispered, with a smile.
Severus remained on the couch.
"Love, come to bed, your exhausted", Hermione said, walking back from Addison's conjoining room.
"I'm alright."
Hermione walked over and sat on his lap.
"You never are very good at lying, when your tired", Hermione said kissing the tip of his nose.
Severus flashed her a sad smile.
"You need to get your mind off things", Hermione said running her hands down his chest and lightly kissing his lips.
"I don't know if I'm up to this", Severus said quietly, leaning his forehead against Hermione's.
"I do understand that. But, it's been so long. Too long, since you've touched me like you use too. Since before Addison was born, and he's two months old now", Hermione said running her hands up Severus' neck and grinding her hips into his.
Severus growled and wrapped his hands into her hair, pulling her into a passionate kiss. He tried to pick Hermione up, but she pushed him back into the couch. Severus tried again, but got the same reaction from her.
"I will do everything, just relax. I will bond you, if needed."
"Do you actually think that's a threat?" Severus replied in a husky voice.
Hermione grinned and ripped off his shirt. She bent her head down and began kissing her way down Severus' chest, stopping at his nipples. She pulled one into her mouth and bit down lightly. Severus let out a hiss and threw his head back.
Hermione pulled her wand out of her back pocket and spelled off Severus' trousers and boxers, then tossed her wand to the floor. Severus reached up and pulled Hermione's shirt above her head and snapped off her bra with two fingers. He pulled her left breast into his mouth causing her hips to buck wildly.
"I told you I was doing everything", Hermione hissed and pulled her breast away from his mouth. Severus grinned, then let out a throaty moan as Hermione pulled the tip of his erection into his mouth.
Hermione pulled most of his erection into her mouth and cupped his balls. Severus laced his fingers back into her hair and thrust his head back, as he let out more deep moans. A few moments of Hermione's bobbing had Severus almost undone. When she felt him tense up, Hermione pulled her mouth off of him. Severus let out a whine, making Hermione grin.
"Pants off. Pants! Off!" Severus panted out. Hermione grinned and obeyed, taking her pants and underwear off. She placed herself over Severus' erection, he grabbed her hips.
"Hands to yourself!" Hermione hissed and pushed Severus' hands away. Severus clutched on to the couch cushion as Hermione lowered herself down slowly. She slowly lifted herself back up and slammed herself back down. Severus moaned and threw his head back.
Hermione slid one hand back to Severus' knee and clutched his shoulder with the other. She slowly began riding him, gradually picking up the pace. After a few minutes, Severus instinctively put his hands on Hermione's hips, helping her ride him. Hermione didn't protest this time.
Severus pulled Hermione closer to him, pulling her hand off his leg, and bringing his lips to hers. Hermione moaned into his mouth and started slamming down hard. Severus moaned and buried his face into her breast as he came. Hermione followed suite.
A few moments had passed, they still sat in the same position, trying to gather their barrings. Severus finally pulled back, softly kissing Hermione's lips.
"I love you", he murmured.
"I love too", Hermione said, slowly getting up and pulling Severus to the bed. Severus flopped heavily on the bed and Hermione cuddled into his chest.
"I can't keep my eyes open", Severus said, as his eyes started to close.
"Good, get some rest love."
Hermione woke up first the next morning. The sun was just starting to rise and shine through the window. Severus was still sound asleep. He hadn't slept often the last two months, Hermione knew if she could get him to let his eyes close he would sleep for a while.
A loud banging sounded on the door.
"Severus! Hermione! Open up!" Lucius bellowed from outside the door.
Hermione jumped up and flicked her wand, spelling her clothes back on. Severus jumped up at the sound of Lucius yelling.
"What! What!" Severus yelled, scanning the room. Obviously still half asleep and disoriented.
"Lucius is at the door", Hermione said quickly, as she rushed to the door. She flicked her wand, spelling a pair of boxers on Severus, before she opened the door.
"What is it, Lucius", Hermione said in a rush, as she pulled the door open.
"Both of you get dressed and come downstairs. Kingsley is here, he has news."
"Did they find Abby?!" Severus bellowed, grabbing his pants.
"Come downstairs", Lucius said quickly, disappearing back into the hallway.
Severus ran out the door, pants still in hand. Hermione followed with a baby monitor.
"Did you find Abby?! Is she here?!" Severus said anxiously as he followed Lucius into the sitting room, starting to put on his pants.
"Severus have a seat", Kingsley said smoothly.
"ANSWER ME!" Severus spat. Hermione caught him before he could stalk forward, toward Kingsley, and held his hand.
"Yes Severus, we found her. But, she's not here."
Severus looked at Kingsley strangely and then noticed the other people in the room. Albus and Eileen were seated on the sofa, Eileen was sobbing into Albus' chest. Lucius and Narcissa were playing out the same scene on the other side of the room. Draco and Harry stood by the fireplace, both with confused and grave looks on their faces. The rest of the house must have still been asleep.
"No", Severus whispered and started to back away from Kingsley, hitting the bookshelf behind me. "Don't tell me she's dead. Please." Severus could feel his lungs starting to close up, he began hyperventilating. He barely registered someone calling his name, it sounded like Hermione. Then everything turned black.
"Severus! Severus!" Hermione shouted as she shook his shoulders. It took a moment but his eyes started to flutter open. Kingsley conjured a chair and pulled Severus into it, he seemed to be dazed.
"Severus can you hear me", Hermione said softly.
"She can't be, please, no." Severus voice was starting to crack.
"She's not dead, Severus", Kingsley said reassuringly.
Severus starred at him, then let out a loud sigh as tears rolled down his face.
"Where is she", Severus whispered.
"I need you to remain seated while I explain things", Kingsley said slowly, backing up.
Severus remained silent, waiting for him to continue.
"We haven't gotten the full story, I came straight here as soon as we located her and got her to safety. Fenrir and Graham did abduct Abby in muggle London. She has been held at one of their summer homes for the last three days. Abby has been injured, it appears she has been healing some of her wounds as much as possible."
"So, she's at St. Mungo's?" Severus asked as he stood up.
"No, There's more", Kingsley said, pushing on Severus' shoulder and making him sit down. "When we arrived Abby was found unconscious, Fenrir's wife was found about ten feet away, she was dead."
Hermione gasped and grabbed onto Severus' arm, Severus pulled her into his lap.
"We don't know exactly what happened, Fenrir and Graham were no where in the house. But, we tested Abby's wand, the killing curse was the last curse fired from it. Abby did come to after a few minutes, but claimed she didn't fire the killing curse, but she passed back out again. With not knowing whether or not if she truly fired the curse, we have to have a trial. It will be tomorrow morning, 9 am. Her memories will be revealed in a pensive along with her being questioned under veritaserum, we also figure we can sort out the happenings at Hogwarts over the last six months or so at the trial."
"Where. Is. She." Severus stated slowly, in a growl.
"Without knowing whether or not she committed the murder, we had to put her in a holding cell, in Azkaban."
"Abby's in Azkaban!" Severus roared and jumped up, nearly knocking Hermione to the floor.
"I had to Severus, we don't know the circumstances of what has gone on. I can't just let her go unsupervised."
"Release her into my custody!"
"Severus, I can't do that, you know that. She's not alone, there are two doctors from St. Mungo's taking care of her. And I have ten Aurors guarding her cell, five on the inside and five on the outside. She's safe."
"Safe! In fucking Azkaban! One night in there will kill her!" Severus roared and started toward Kingsley. Lucius jumped up and grabbed him.
"Calm down Severus, this isn't Kingsley's fault."
Severus was starting to shake. "Just let me stay with her."
"I can't Severus. As talented as you are, people will say you did something to her memories to get her out of a prison sentence. It's just one day. I will not drag out the trial longer then one day. With the state she's in, she will need to go right to St. Mungo's when the trial is over."
