Harry's pulse was racing as he looked around. He thought surely this must be some mistake and his son was here. There was no one who would have taken him without telling Harry. Harry had been through so much in the war but nothing compared to the fear he felt right now. No one who cared about him would have done this. They would know he would be terrified if he came for his son and he wasn't there. Teddy meant more to him than his own life and he'd die for him. His head was spinning and he could barely catch his breath.
The woman looked at him and was completely terrified. She hadn't recognized him at first but after reading the papers she did. She had forgotten he worked here. It was only her second day on the job and she lost the savior's son.
The girl was shaking. "I don't know."
Harry was irate. "What the hell do you mean you don't know?"
The girl shook her head. "I don't know her name."
Harry went to grab the forms. "You surely had the person sign my son out."
The girl held the papers. "Sign out?"
The director came over. "Healer Black, is there something wrong?"
Harry growled. "This girl allowed some stranger to walk out with my son."
The director was startled. "Are you sure it was not his grandmother?"
Harry was irate. "I spoke to Andromeda on my way down here."
The director looked at the girl. "How the hell did you let this happen?"
Harry called Kreacher. "Can you use your bond to find my son?"
Kreacher shook his head. "No master. His blood be too diluted."
Harry was confused. "You know where I am at all times."
Kreacher nodded. "Master Sirius use blood link. Master no use when adopt Teddy. Teddy no heir yet."
Harry couldn't believe this. "Find Andromeda, Ted, the Malfoys, George. Find them all; find out if any of them has him."
Kreacher bowed. "Yes mater. I help find."
Harry was pacing back and forth holding his breath and hoping for good news. He knew deep down that none of them had his son. They would never have put him through any of this. The Malfoys wouldn't have even known that Teddy was here at the hospital. Besides the girl had said woman. But right now, it could have been an ogre; he didn't trust the girl who lost his son. He should never have trusted this place.
The girl was in tears as she knew she was fired. It was her first job and she had lost the child of one of the most prominent lords. Not only that, but he was the boy who lived, still famous to this day. She hadn't recognized him at first as he had removed his scar.
Andromeda came running in. "Harry?"
Harry looked at her, and saw Ted and the Malfoys appear behind her. "He's gone."
Ted stopped. "What do you mean he is gone?"
Lucius looked at the director. "That girl better be fired. And if he isn't found, I will remove all funding from this hospital."
Harry looked at the girl. "You have to remember something about the woman. Something."
The girl was shaking. "I don't know her name."
Draco spoke up. "I will call for the aurors."
Harry was trying not to give into the fear. "Why didn't I do the blood right? I remember Sirius doing it. Why?"
Andromeda put a hand on him. "We suggested he was young. You couldn't have known this would happen."
Kingsley appeared. "Harry, I understand your son is missing?"
Harry nodded. "He was here while I was at work. The girl allowed someone to walk out with him."
Kingsley and Harry may not have been as close as Moody but he was still a friend. He had turned down being minister so he could remain an auror. Cornelius had taken back office after the war because many people saw him as a lesser of evils from others. He liked to suck up as well to those with power and money. He had become Harry's biggest fan since the end of the war. He made Lucius look like a bum, if he ever touched his money or titles.
Kingsley looked at the girl. "You need to tell us anything you remember."
The girl nodded. "I will try."
Lucius pushed. "You said it was a woman. Older or younger?"
The girl was shaking. "Younger. Maybe my age."
Harry had a sinking feeling. "What color hair?"
The girl didn't have to think. "Red hair. She definitely had red hair."
Andromeda was the one who found words. "Ginny?"
Harry took out a picture. "Was this the woman?"
The girl nodded. "Yes. Yes that is her."
Harry was furious. He couldn't believe that Ginny would even think to pull this kind of thing. She knew how much Teddy meant to him. And if she was trying to win him back, kidnapping his son was definitely not the way. She had to know this would be his worst nightmare in the world. Right now he felt like wrapping his hands around her neck. And no one in the room could blame him for feeling like that.
Kingsley looked at him. "Are you wishing to press charges against her?"
Molly was busy at home during the day. Part of her thought her husband was right and she should consider some kind of work. But she had always been a stay at home mom. But now even Ginny was grown up and her grandchildren weren't around as much as she liked. She was reminded she would soon have another three to keep her busy. She was considering offering to be a nanny to Victoire when Fleur went back to work soon. She had taken an extended maternity leave but would go back soon enough.
She was in the kitchen cooking when the door opened. She wasn't surprised to find Ginny as she was still living at home at the moment. Ginny had hoped to be engaged by now and had chosen not to move out. She was living up in the attic now and paying a small amount of rent.
Molly was surprised. "Ginny, where is Harry?"
Ginny smiled. "He's at work of course."
Molly looked at Teddy. "I am a bit surprised to see him."
Ginny shrugged. "Harry asked me to take him. You know he wants me to spend more time with him."
Teddy shook his head. "Daddy."
Molly took him. "How about a little snack?"
Teddy nodded a little. "Cookie?"
Molly smiled and put him in a chair she transformed into a booster. "Not usually before dinner, but I think exceptions can be made."
Ginny put down her bag. "I thought he would cheer up here."
Molly looked up. "Is Harry working late?"
Ginny nodded. "They all are. He was in daycare."
Molly was a bit hurt. "I would have taken him if asked."
Molly had not spoken to Harry since this little break had happened. She knew he had been avoiding her and it hurt a bit. She thought he had to come to his senses though and apologize to Ginny. She took Teddy being in their house as a good sign though. Harry must be willing to consider making peace if he was allowing Ginny to take his son. Her daughter just needed to do a good job. She had to prove she could care for Teddy.
Ginny smiled as she watched her mom. She thought Harry would be upset but happy when he saw Ginny actually cared about his son. She knew he had to believe she did, if she had a chance of getting him back. Hermione had told him that more than once.
They were brought out of their thoughts when Charlie came in with Rodger and George. "I guess we're a bit early for dinner."
Molly was surprised to see George. "I wasn't aware you were coming."
George directed her to Rodger. "Charlie thought his husband may need more back up."
Molly looked at her new son in law. "I am glad you came back. I know your welcome wasn't quite warm last time."
Rodger shook his head. "I know we dropped a huge shock on you."
Teddy interrupted as he hurtled at George, having got out of his seat. "Uncle George."
George hadn't seen him and scooped his nephew up in shock. "Hey Teddy, what are you doing here?"
Molly smiled. "Ginny brought him. Harry had to work late."
George didn't believe it. "Harry would never ask you to look after his son."
Ginny put on a fake smile. "You know we'll get back together."
Teddy shook his head. "She take from play place."
George looked at Charlie. "One of us better find out if Harry knows….."
Harry's voice came from the door. "No need."
Harry came into the house and the anger was clear on his face. He also had relief in his eyes, when he took his son from George. George couldn't remember the last time he had seen Harry so angry about something. Though the others couldn't, George could see Harry hadn't come alone. He had no idea what his sister thought she was pulling. George could only hope some good would come from it all.
Molly was oblivious. "Harry just in time for dinner. You know I'd have taken Teddy if you needed."
Harry was furious. "Should I ask if you had a place in abducting my son?"
Molly stared at him. "Abducting?"
Harry nodded. "My son was taken without my permission from his daycare."
Ginny shook her head. "I told the girl I was family. I am practically your fiancé. I thought it would be nice."
George swore under his breath. "Shit."
Harry rounded on her. "You're not my fiancé, and as of now, you're not and never will be again, my girlfriend."
Molly tried to calm him. "Harry she was just being helpful. You know Teddy doesn't need to be in daycare."
Harry was irate but he handed Teddy to George. "Can you take him to Luna's for me? I will come soon."
George nodded and left with Teddy. "Come on, let's go visit Aunty Luna and Uncle Xeno."
Molly pressed. "Ginny cares about your son. She was just wanting to spend time with him."
Charlie actually said. "From what I have heard, it's the first time."
Ginny shot a nasty look at her brother. "You have no idea what you're talking about."
Harry seethed. "You know what it is like to have a child in danger in the war Molly. How can you expect me to be calm?"
Molly didn't back off. "It isn't the war and Teddy was in no danger."
Harry lost it. "He was missing. Do you know the fear when you don't know where your child is? Do you?"
Arthur had come in. "We do. Molly knows all too well."
Harry wasn't calming. "He is my life. After all I have lost….how the hell could you put me through that?"
Molly was upset. "Harry, I didn't know she took him without your permission. I'm sorry."
Ginny tried to stop him. "I just wanted time with him. I love you and will love him."
Harry pulled away. "We're over. If you ever come near me or my son, I will have you arrested."
Ginny stared at him. "You can't have me arrested."
This couldn't be happening. She had taken Teddy to prove to Harry that she could love the boy and be a mother to him. And now he was blowing it all out of proportion. She had never abducted Teddy and he was never in any harm either. He was here where he was loved and taken care of. She was just trying to prove herself to him now. Hermione and Ron had told her she needed to prove she cared about his son.
Harry smirked. "Kingsley asked me if I wanted to press charges. You took my child without permission; I have every right to have you arrested."
