Apostollo - Sa16+
 

http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e2...in/GGANom2.gif
Hey this is my first ff so go easy on me.
This one is taking place 22 years after Harry's victory over Voldemort and three years after the scene in Kings Cross, where Harry's sons are going to Hogwarts.

DISCLAIMER: This is completely J.K.R 's work and I have nothing to do with it. The only characters that belong to me are the one of Matthias and Artemis.....Please restrain from taking any of my original ideas and plots from this story....Thanks!!!!


Chapter 1

"C'mon Harry, we have to go!" Hermione said impatiently. It was late in the afternoon and Harry Potter was still going through his report about his last mission in his office.
"You know if someone had told me years ago that you'd be the one encouraging me not to finish my work I’d have called them crazy".
"Yes, but the kids are arriving any minute now!"
"The kids are arriving in two hours!" Harry said still not moving from his chair. He knew that once his kids were back for the summer he wouldn't be able to get any work done and he wanted to finish everything he had left so noone from the office would come bothering him during the summer break. He had promised his kids that this summer they could all go away together and he didn't want to let them down, especially Lily.
"Harry, you do know that there are other aurors except you and me to take care of stuff, right?" Hermione persisted.
"Well, it's easy for you to be like this. You've had all the week to get your work done, I came back from Mexico yesterday!" he sighed but stood up. "I hate this job!" he complained.
"No, you don't", laughed Hermione. "You love it! Come on we have to pick up your lovely wife!"
"What about Ron?"
"He and George are waiting for a new order today, so he'll meet us there".
"So I cannot be late but he can?"
"Yes because when he says he'll meet us there he means he'll meet us there" she said walking towards the elevator. "When you say something like that you never..." she cut her sentence short as the doors of the elevator opened and their supervisor bursted in.
"Good, you two are still here" said the old wrinkled man. He was about seventy years old. Too old to be Head of the department but it was a common secret that they'll make him retire soon.
"Actually we were just leaving" Hermione said. She knew that it was easy for him to cancel their days off so she wanted to leave as soon as possible. She just wished that Harry wouldn't...
"What's going on?" asked Harry and Hermione sighed. As Matthias Barge, their supervisor, walked towards the nearest desk she mouthed to Harry:"Ginny is going to kill you!"
"There's something I haven't told you", said the man turning to face them. He seemed really worried. More worried than any of them had ever seen him be. Hermione walked towards him forgetting about her rush.
"Are you going to tell us what that thing I collected in Mexico was?" Harry said full of curiosity.
"No", he said briefly disappointing Harry. "There were some murders that used to concern me. They all seemed to have a connection, a rather disturbing connection".
"Okay, wait a minute. Why are you talking to us about common homicides? I thought that new recruited aurors were dealing with such simple issues. Or are we the only ones still in the building?" Hermione said giving Harry an angry look.
"This was never a simple issue, but as you said it wasn't your area of expertise so I haven't told you anything, although now I think I should have".
"Fine then" Hermione gave in, while Harry was sitting on his desk. When she sat next to him the old man continued.
"I believe you remember the murder of your friend Dean Thomas six months ago?"
"Of course, how could we forget?" Harry said sadly.
"Well it appears that his death is linked with nine others".
"Nine?" Hermione said in disbelief.
"You've got any lead on the killer?" asked Harry. "And how is it linked?"
"Well, all of the victims or someone related to them seemed to be involved in..."Matthias hesitated.
"In what?" Harry asked with a bad feeling growing inside him.
"In Voldemort's fall".
"What? And you're telling me this now?" Harry said outraged as Hermione was bringing her hand on her mouth.
"It was just an assumption until a couple of hours ago".
"You still ought to tell me!"
"What do you mean 'a couple of hours ago'?" Hermione asked not so sure she wanted to hear the answer.
"A new group of Death Eaters took the entire blame for the ten deaths", Matthias gave the answer.
"What?" Harry whispered, all the color draining from his face.
"But we we...the two of us captured the last escaping Death Eaters almost seven years ago" Hermione said perfectly convinced this was a mistake.
"That's why I said they were a new group".
"But Voldemort is dead", insisted the woman.
"They have a new leader. We do not know his real name but he calls himself...'Apostollo'" explained Matthias.
"But Matthias we shouldn't be worried right? I mean, it's only shocking because they call themselves that. We have faced a team of murderers before".
"Yes Hermione but in his letter that 'Apostollo' said that they came out in open just because they've gotten strong now. He said they are to continue their work until they take full revenge".
Silence fell like snow among them. Harry was still shocked. He couldn't believe that after all of those years the past would come back to haunt him. Death Eaters were back. They had killed Dean and nine others. And who the hell that 'Apostollo' was? They wanted revenge and surely he was the first person they would seek it from. So that was how Dean's mysterious death was explained. Harry felt his heart pounding hard against his chest. Mysterious deaths...that was how it started the last time. All the victims or someone related to them was involved in Voltemort's fall. Someone related. Related...
"The kids!" He yelled in agony, jumping out of both his desk and his shock.

Wow! I have a reader? I have a reader! Yay! I'll post soon I promise.

New Reader!!

OMG! You can't leave it there! What's happening? Ahhhhhhh!!:hairpull: :hairpull: :hairpull:

Abi... xox

So here it is...


Chapter 2

Lily was staring out of her window. She loved her school but she had to admit that when she was crying to let her go earlier she hadn't thought about her parents and how much she would miss them. So she was kind of sad that school was over but couldn't help it but wishing the train could go faster. Her dad had promised in one of his letters that they could all go away on holiday. She wondered where they'd go.
"Hey Lil, why are you on your own?" She turned to see her cousin, Hugo, walking in and sitting next to her.
"Oh, I just wanted it to be quiet so I can imagine the place we'll go for holiday".
"Well, I wouldn't get that excited if I were you".
"Why shouldn't I?"
"For one thing I'm not so sure that mum and Uncle Harry..."
"Oh, c'mon Hugo! They said they wouldn't work, don't ruin it for me!" Lily pleaded.
"Okay let's say they don't. What about my dad? What if Uncle George can't handle the shop by his own? I mean isn't that why dad left the auror office in the first place, to help him out?"
Lily didn't know what to respond to all of this so she turned to her window again. Whatever Hugo said she was certain they would go...daddy promised.
Meanwhile the door of an empty compartment, not so far away from the one Lily and Hugo were in, burst open by James Potter. He stepped in swearing under his breath holding the right side of his face with his hand. God, those Slytherins were so stupid! Why did that moron had to punch him? Why couldn't he hex him just like James did?
He sat next to the window, took his hand off his face and looked at his reflection. The fifteen year old boy that stared back at him had dark brown hair and brown eyes just like his mother's, however James was certain that his mother's right eye wasn't red and swollen like his was at that moment.
"Mum is going to kill me!" he said to himself.
"Well, that's for certain", said his brother from the door. James turned to look at him."Are you okay? I saw what happened".
"Oh, did you really? I thought your Slytherin friends told you about it".
"There we go again!" sighed Albus. "Why can't you deal with the fact that I'm friends with Scorpius?"
"You know what, I'm not going to argue with you again...just get out...leave me alone!"
"Fine! All I wanted was to see if you were okay".
"Oh, believe you me;I can take care of myself".
"That's what worries me", the boy sighed again.
"Me being able to take care of myself?" James asked taken aback.
"No, you believing you don't need any one of us", said Albus and with these turned around and left.
James fell back in his seat. God, he hated it when his brother sounded like their father.


Harry was waiting at the train station along with Ron for their kids to arrive. He and Hermione had passed the news to Ginny,Ron and Mr. Weasley. He glanced at his brother-in-law. He knew that Ron was just as upset as he was but he was trying to hold his fear back. Harry wasn't so sure how bad things were. Maybe they were overreacting and Hermione was right...would they be so worried if that group wasn't called Death Eaters? Then again Dean was dead and so were nine more people.
"Harry", Ron said hesitantly.
"What?"
"Is it bad?"
"Don't know", Harry responded looking at him. "I sure hope it's not"
"Do you think that we should take Matthias' advice?"
Harry hesitated. He originally thought that his supervisor had told them everything so they would stay for the summer and work, but he was wrong. Matthias wanted them to go into hiding. Harry didn't know what to do. He could ignore his supervisor and not take this whole situation seriously; risking his kids' welfare or they could all go into hiding. But how could he do that to his kids? How could he force them to hide? To change their lives? He thought of Ginny. She was back at their house with Hermione since they consider it to be the most protected one. She didn't seem to know how to react just like he didn't. Harry closed his eyes. Why did this have to happen?
"I think they're here mate", Ron said and Harry opened his eyes. He looked at the gap between platforms nine and ten. Strange kids were emerging from nowhere caring huge trunks and owls, looking and pointing at Harry as they went by. Yep, Hogwarts Express had arrived. As they were waiting for the children Harry got a glimpse of Draco Malfoy and his son leaving the station. Harry wondered if Malfoy knew about this whole thing, about 'Apostollo'. He exhaled frustrated. He had already gotten tired of calling that man like this, he wanted to know his real name, and he wanted to know who he was up against.
"Daddy!"
The red headed girl that just emerged from what appeared to be a wall abandoned her trunk and run towards her father, her arms outstretched. Harry couldn't help it but push 'Apostollo' in the back of his head and smile broadly as his daughter hugged him tightly from the waist. Harry kissed her forehead and looked at her. She had gotten tall.
Ron shook his head grinning and went next to his son helping him drug both his and Lily's trunk, while Rose, Ron's older child, and Albus joined them. Albus smiled and hugged his father but no for long since Lily was claiming him exclusively for now.
"Seriously, you guys keep getting bigger and bigger" Ron said looking at them, while he pulled Rose in a hug.
"Or maybe you just getting smaller and smaller, dad!" Hugo said smiling.
"So, where's James?" Harry asked as he took Lily's trunk from Ron's grip since he already had Rose's to carry.
"He was behind us", Rose said looking in the crowd for her older cousin.
"He was talking to his friends from the band", Albus explained.
"Band? What band?"
"Oh, come on Ron! How can't you remember that my son is an artist?" smiled Harry.
"Yeah especially since he was all about it during Christmas", Albus said shaking his head but receiving a warning look from his father.
"Hey".
Harry turned to see his older son drugging his trunk towards them. His hair was ruffled that way that the right side of his face was almost covered. Albus forced himself to suppress a grin.
"Hey", Harry greeted him when he was next to him, hugging his shoulders. "What's with the hair?"
"Nothing I just..." James mumbled while he tried to pull away from his father but it was too late. Harry pushed James' hair back and saw his swollen eye.
"JAMES SIRIUS POTTER!" Harry yelled angrily. "What on earth happened to your eye?"
"I fell?"

New reader. Love it can't wait for more.

So now I have three readers? Yay! Welcome I'm really glad you posted! So I rather enjoyed writing this next chapter but I really wanna know what you guys think so please post and let me know! Oh and...English is not my native language so forgive me if I make some mistakes!


Chapter 3

Ginny placed the plates on the table for dinner thinking of the news Harry and Hermione brought. Talk of bad news. Death Eaters were on the loose again? She always thought that her children would be saved from all of these. She just hoped that it wouldn't get as bad as Harry's supervisor was predicting. She just couldn't imagine the possibility of losing someone of her family...again.
Hermione entered the room carrying the casserole just when loud voices came from the garden.
"They're here! They're okay!" Hermione screamed and dropping the casserole on Ginny's hands, she stormed out of the room, reaching then door just when Hugo opened it.
"Mum!" was all Hugo managed to say before his mother took him into her hug and held him tightly.
"Oh, Hermione that is so dramatic!" Ginny said sarcastically as she hugged Albus. Over his shoulder she saw that her other son and her husband were having some kind of an argument as they moved closer to the doorstep.
"What's wrong with you two?" she asked after hugging Lily too and kissing James' cheek.
"Nothing", they both said at the same time. Ginny raised her eyebrows looking at them. Then she shrugged and walked inside clutching Lily's hand.
James sighed relieved. His face had been restored to its normal condition with a simple wave of his father's wand. The boy looked at his father and grinned.
"Thanks dad", he said.
Harry gave his son an angry look that wiped the grin from his face.
"It's only because I don't want your mother to get more upset!" he said as they walked down the hall.
"Why is she upset?" asked James but he didn't get an answer since they've reached the dining room where everybody was gathered.

They didn't say anything to their kids that night. They were all so happy that they were back again that their parents decided not to ruin it. So the Weasleys left for their home when the dinner ended.
After a while Ginny fell asleep at the couch and Harry carried her upstairs to their bedroom after making sure that the kids went to bed as well. Her sleep was disturbed. She kept changing sides when at three in the morning she jumped out of her sleep. She couldn't remember the nightmare she saw but it had frightened her. She looked at her left for her husband, craving for his warm hug to take her fear away but he was gone. She got out of bed concerned.
She searched the entire house to find him sitting in the kitchen table in the dark. He had placed his head in his hands and he didn't notice her as she walked close to him.
"Honey?" she whispered making him jump.
"Oh, hey Gin", he whispered back looking up.
"Lumos!" she said and a small light emerged from her wand. "What on Merlin's name are you doing here all alone?"
"I couldn't sleep", he admitted as she sat on his lap and he put his arms around her waist.
"Are you concerned about what Matthias told you guys?"
"That plus you kept kicking like a horse!" he grinned.
"Shut up, I was having a nightmare!" she said pinching his arm.
"Ouch!" he complained. "What was it about?"
"Can't remember", she shrugged.
"What do you think about all of these?" he asked her quietly.
"Well, it sure does sound disturbing, doesn't it?" she said looking at him and when he didn't respond she continued. "Well, I guess we'll just have to wait and see. I just wish that whatever this is it won't hurt our children".
"Don't worry", Harry smiled reassuringly. "I won't let anything happen to them".
"I know...but I have to worry, right? I'm the mum".
They laughed and then he stared into her beautiful face. It was amazing how just a look at her could provide him so much comfort. What was also amazing was that as the years went by she was becoming more and more beautiful if possible and despite the fact that he kept being the target of various madmen he couldn't believe how damn lucky he was to have her.
"Gin?"
"What?"
"I love you", he said and she smiled at the serious face he took.
"Well, of course you do! I'm adorable!" she stated kissing his cheek.
"That you are babe", he smiled back. She looked at his emerald eyes and as he pulled her into a deep, loving kiss, his strong arms holding her tight, all the fear and distress that nightmare had caused her was long gone. That made her think of something she had thought many times before: how damn lucky she was to have him.

Hermione had gotten up early this morning. She was determined to make a really nice breakfast for her kids, even if she knew that most of it would end up in her husband's stomach. She had just finished that thought when Ron came into the kitchen.
"What smells so good?" he asked and she rolled her eyes.
"Hands off Ronald! It's for the kids!" she said and Ron laughed.
"Honey, have you counted our kids lately? They're two not a dozen!" he said gesturing to all the food on the table.
Hermione only managed a grunt at her husband before all hell broke loose. With a bang and a flash of green light the window blew up.
"What the..." Ron said before Hermione drugged him down behind the bench, just as another loud bang was heard and glass flew everywhere.
"Ron, we're under attack!"
"YOU THINK?"

NEW READER.
This is wicked good. It's surprising because I don't usually read stories like this.
PAMS. =]

Welcome to my new reader and welcome back to Tori. I'm glad you guys posted. Let me now what you think about this next one.


Chapter 4

"Ron, we're under attack!"
"You think?" he said ironically and he glanced out. "I can't see them!" he added while curses flew all over the place.
"Ron, they're aiming to kill!" Hermione said while a killing curse hit the opposite wall.
"Mum? What's happening?" said Rose entering the kitchen.
"Rosie, watch out!" Hermione screamed just as a curse flew right above her daughter's head. Ron reached out and grabbed his daughter pulling her behind the closest wall.
"Hermione there's a whole bunch!" Ron said now being able to spot about six to seven masked men outside their house.
"Death Eaters?"
"Yeah", he replied sending a curse at them but missed. He turned to his horrified daughter. "Rosie go and get your brother. We need to leave!"
As Rose obeyed her father and run to her brother's room, a curse blew Hermione's whole breakfast in the air, sending milk and orange juice everywhere.
"My breakfast!" Hermione squealed and then jumped out, wand in hand. "Okay that's it! Now I'm really mad!"

"And they just attacked your house?" Ginny asked her brother again.
"Yeah Ginny, I already told ya!" Ron said as he held his daughter in his hug.
They had managed to apparate to the Potters about a couple of hours ago. Hermione and Harry had left almost immediately for the office and Ron with Ginny stayed home to explain what happened to their mesmerized and frightened children.
"What did they want?" Lily asked giving Hugo a cup of tea.
Ron and Ginny looked at each other.
"Yeah who were they?" James asked looking at his uncle but it was Rose who answered him.
"Mum said they were Death Eaters".
"Death Eaters?" Albus repeated as his brother looked from his uncle to his mother in disbelief.
"Yeah", Ginny said hesitantly. "Apparently they've formed a new group under some crazy guy called...what was it again Ron?"
"Apostollo", Ron replied.
"Who?" James asked but Albus interrupted.
"So we are in danger?"
Ron echanged another look with his sister and then he replied.
"Yes I guess we are".
"Does that mean we are not going on holiday?" Lily asked and Ron rolled his eyes.
"Ha! I told you so!" Hugo said sounding just like his mother.
"No, Lil, sorry but I guess we're not", her mother replied.
James took a relieved look that no one but Albus noticed. As the boy looked at his brother confused two loud pops came from the kitchen, the only place in the house someone could apparate in. When Harry entered the room with Hermione he glanced at the kids.
"So you told them", he guessed from their faces.
As they walked in the living room Ron noticed his wife's red eyes. She had been crying.
"Hermione? What happened?" he asked as Ginny too stared at her and then at Harry. Hermione shook her head and sat next to Ron, placing her head in her hands.
"Mum, are you okay?" Rose asked.
"They burned it!" she whispered.
"What?" Hugo asked confused.
Harry sat on the arm of Ginny's chair and confirmed the terrible suspicion that had crossed her mind with a look.
"Hermione what are you talking about?" Ron asked, fear building inside him, but she had burst in tears again. Ron turned to his best friend and the sadness in his eyes got him really scared.
"Your house..." Harry whispered, Ron's eyes widened and Lily took Hugo's trembling hand into hers. "We went back with reinforcement but...they weren't there and...and the Dark mark was everywhere and it was...burned...along with most of your belongings".
Before Ron could comprehend what he had just been told another loud pop came from the kitchen and Harry run in just in time to see his godson, Ted Lupin, collapsing on the floor.

What!?! Teddy!

Evil cliffie... Just evil... But I love the post!

Post soon!!

Abi...xox

Whoa...didn't expect that.

xo, Padfoot

Thanks for posting Abi and Padfoot, I'm glad you liked it...here's more...let me know what you think.


Neville Longbottom is a teacher. He teaches Herbology at Hogwarts. His students were really fond of him because he was funny, because he never failed anyone and because it was said that he was one of the heroes of the Great Battle that had taken place in Hogwarts years ago. But school was over now. Neville however was already planning his course for the next year, but he was disappointed to find out that he needed the Minister's permission to bring some of the plants he wanted in the country. So that afternoon Neville was visiting the ministry of Magic.
As he waited in the line for the receptionist, the man behind him gestured to his wife.
"Hey Anne isn't that Harry Potter?"
Neville turned to the hall to see a man with messy black hair walking fast towards the elevator. Yep, that was Harry Potter.
"Yeah I think it's him" the woman replied.
"Wow...he looked rather angry".
Neville glared at the elevator where Harry had just vanished in concern. All the years he knew Harry Potter told him that he wasn't just angry. No. He was in fact outraged.

Harry burst into his boss' office not even bothering to knock on the door. Matthias looked at him bewildered; never in all the years he had worked with him had he saw Harry so furious. Not at him least.
"What are you...?"
"You have all of these aurors in this office and you still can't stop a bunch of amateurs Death Eaters?" he said his voice rising in every syllable. Matthias lost his words for a moment. Everyone outside the office was staring at them since Harry had left the door open.
"Harry", he started calmly understanding that yelling back at him wouldn't do him any good. "I know you're upset about what happened to Hermione but..."
"It's not just that! They ambushed my godson!"
"What?"
"Teddy! They ambushed him! He fought back but someone actually casted Sectumsempra on him! It's a wonder he managed to apparate home!"
"Harry, I'm so sorry",the man said shaking his head. "At least are you convinced now that you, Hermione and your families should go into hiding?"
"My family will go into hiding but I won't. I want in!"
"In?" Matthias repeated confused.
"No,no,no...I don't just want to be in", Harry rephrased his own words. "Make me charge of this whole operation! This joke has to end now!"
"Harry..."
"Make me charge, Matthias!" he insisted.
Matthias was ready to argue but then he stopped himself. This whole thing with the new Death Eaters was turning into a nightmare and Harry was without doubt the most capable auror he had and if someone knew Death Eaters that was definitely Harry Potter. He exhaled.
"If you're going to get into this you might as well learn everything about it".
"What do you mean?" Harry asked curious enough to forget to yell.
"It's about the thing you collected in Mexico", Matthias said in a low voice, noticing that some were still looking at them.
"What's that has to do with anything?"
"Close the door".

New reader! I really like your fic! Hey are from Creece? I'm from Greece too!

New reader! I really like your fic! Hey are you from Greece? I'm from Greece too!

Welcome to my new reader...but why did you post the same thing twice? Yeah I'm from Greece, nice to know there's someone else from my country reading this story...
Welcome back to Tori too. Oh, and I'm sure many Death Eaters knew Sectumsempra, they must have seen Snape casting it millions of times when he was a real Death Eater. Anyway, I think I'll post later today so stay tuned.

Haha, I like it when Harry's angry. =]
Excellent post. PAMS.

xo, Padfoot

So here's one more chapter...Please post and tell me what you think!


Chapter 5

James knocked on the door and then walked in not waiting for an answer and carrying a disk with food. Teddy sat up with a sleepy look upon his face as the boy approached his bed.
"Hey, mum sends you this!" he said leaving the disk on his lap.
"It smells good", he replied spreading his arms carefully since his body still ached. "Thanks Jamie".
"Don't call me Jamie", the boy said shrinking his nose in dislike.
"Harry always calls you that", Ted said dismissively.
"You sound just like Al. Just because dad does something doesn't mean that everybody should go with it".
"What's that suppose to mean?" asked Ted.
"Nothing", James replied shaking his head. "So, how are you feeling?"
"A little tired...I lost a lot of blood, but your dad healed my wounds perfectly, so I guess I'll stay here with you guys today and hopefully tomorrow I'll be able to go back to work".
"Doesn't it feel weird? Getting healed by somebody else while you're a healer?"
"Well it could be but I don't think I was in state to understand it", he said and James laughed. "What about you kid? How are you dealing with this Death Eater thing?"
"I don't know", James shrugged. "All happened so quickly that I hadn't have time to consider things over".
"I hope those Death Eaters won't cause us any more problems".
"Yeah, you know I was really worried about you".
"Yeah right", Ted grinned ironically.
"Yeah...you know you've always been like a big brother to me and you've always helped me with stuff and I really, really love you and you were always there for me and..."
"James!" Ted cut in finally understanding where this was going. "What do you want?"
"WHAT? Is this the kind of person you think I am? Someone who would say nice things to you just to get what he wants?"
"Yes", Ted said tiredly.
"Ah, well you're right" the boy admitted shrugging. "I...well, here's the thing...I want you to talk to dad about something..."
"James, just know that whatever this is I'm not going to lie to my godfather".
"You won't be lying...just not telling the whole truth".
"James..."
"Just hear me out, man!" James said before he could continue. "It's about my band".
"The Alaska or whatever you guys are called?"
"It's Anasha and yes".
"What about it?" Ted asked curiously.
"Well...we got selected in the Teenage Battle of Bands!" James announced proudly and his face fell when Ted didn't get excited.
"What the hell is that?"
"It's the biggest summer festival in the whole magical world! It's the biggest opportunity ever! Weird Sisters actually signed their first contract after one of these shows!"
"Wow...it does sound big...well, conglatulations kid, well done!"
"Thanks!" said James smiling broadly.
"So when is it?" Ted asked and the smile faded from the boy's lips.
"In two days from now", he replied.
"What?"
"Yeah and I was bummed because we would go on holiday and I had to convince dad to leave me here, but then Uncle Ron and Aunt Hermione got attacked and we wouldn't go on holiday and I was really relieved, which by the way I think Al noticed, but then dad said that we should all go into hiding and now I don't know what..."
"James!" Ted yelled in order to stop him from mumbling. "Calm down, kid, will you? What do you want from me?"
"Well, I told you that dad wants us all to go into hiding and performing in frond of four hundrenth people and thirty other bands doesn't actually agree with that. So, I thought that I can come to your flat for those days and go to the festival without dad knowing I was there", said James finally revealing his master plan and leaving Ted speechless for a few seconds.
"Look Jamie..."
"This means a lot to me Teddy, it really does!" James pleaded.
"I can tell and I'm sorry but besides the fact that I cannot lie to Harry, I think that he or your mother wouldn't even let you come with me under these circumstances", Ted said feeling bad for how frustrated the boy got, yet he went on. "Plus ,you said it yourself Jamie, performing in frond of all those people doesn't actually qualifies like hiding and those Death Eaters proved themselves really dangerous...I mean, look at me...look at Ron and Hermione, who were left without a home..."
They both went silent, James not making eye contact with him, but just when Teddy thought that the boy was going to start crying, he looked up and smiled.
"Okay, don't worry. Just do me a favor and don't say anything to anyone, especially..."
"Yeah, yeah I know, your father", Ted nodded as the boy stood up.
"Thanks for listening, Teddy", he said as he opened the door.
"Sorry I wasn't more helpful", Ted replied.
"Don't worry" James said and walked out. "I'm going no matter what", he added after he had closed the door behind him.

Huh...interesting.
PAMS.

xo, Padfoot

Hmmm...! I hope James won't get hurt because this sounds ominous. Anyway...Anasha? Apostollo? Clever...using Greek words.

Ahhhhhhh! I'm so angry! I just found out that matsa is in fact my friend maria who was messing around with me!!! She won't be posting any time soon since I'm going to kill her for not telling me she signed up!! Matsa!! Agrrrr, that was so obvious! And I didn't see it!

Meanwhile and as Hermione was trying to console her kids for the loss of their house and belongings, Ginny went out to water the plants and found Ron standing against the fence, lost in thought.
"Hey", she said approaching him. "Are you okay?"
"I have to be", he replied with a bitter smile.
"You know that you guys can stay with us for as long as you want. I mean, the house is big enough for all of us".
"That's not the problem, Gin. Everything is gone, everything me and Hermione worked and fought for...our entire life got burned...just like that!" he said his eyes welling up.
"I know Ron, but at least you're all fine", she said rubbing his back.
"Yeah...for how long?" he replied and Ginny shook her head.
"Don't say that".
"You saw what happened to Teddy, they almost got us too...those guys are not kidding Ginny and we..." he said but stopped when he saw the tears in his sister's eyes. "Gin, don't...I'm stupid, I don't know what I'm talking about, I'm just so bummed about our house that I'm being pessimistic, I shouldn't have..."
"No, Ron. You just said what I was thinking", she said, tears running down her face.
"Ginny we made it the last time..."
"The last time I didn't have kids, Ron" she yelled.
"Ginny calm..."
"Don't tell me to calm down, Ron! Those lunatics are somewhere out there and my husband, my children; my whole family is their target!"
"Ginny, you know that Harry won't let anything happen to them", Ron whispered wishing his best friend was there to calm her down.
"Yeah, but what if something happens to Harry?" she asked with a suddenly steady voice.
"Harry is strong Gin", Ron replied not even bothering to give another argument.
"Fine. Say that he and his precious aurors manage to stop the new Death Eaters, then what's going to happen?"
"What do you mean?" Ron asked confused.
"Come on Ron!" she said indignantly, turning to face him. "Everybody knows that Matthias is resigning this year and who's going to replace him? And Harry is going to become head of the auror office and he's going to fight bad guys until he gets killed and..."
"Harry is an auror almost two decades now, Ginny. Did you just figure out that his job is dangerous?"
"No, Ron", she replied ignoring the irony in his voice. "I just wish he would let somebody else save the world for a change".
"Would you love him if he did?" he smiled and as she sighed Ron hugged her."I'm sure we're all going to be alright", he added and then looking at her he suddenly started laughing.
"What?" she asked annoyed.
"You're amazing, Ginny, you are. My house and most of my belongings got burned and yet you're the one who needs consoling!"
"Oh, shut up".

Yeah well, he is the big brother, he' got to be helpful...as for the thing from Mexico...just be patient, soon somebody else besides Harry will find out and you'll know too...Thanks for posting and for being such a great reader! I may post later today again.

BESIDES ME??!!!! :hack: She actually called me to check her update!!!! When did Ron became such a great brother anyway Angelito? Yet it was really sweet, the way he consoled Ginny:console: .....Is the next chapter the one I think it is? Oh, I can't wait for the replies you're going to get after that one, you evil...
Maria

Okay first of all...Maria don't ever call me Angelito again on my fic! Well, Tori this is for you, just remember you asked for it! lol...I'm sure you guys gonna hate this.....!!!!!!!:evillaugh...

Chapter 6

Ginny started running down the hall as fast as she could with a wounded leg. All the windows were broken and as she stepped in the living room she saw that most of their furniture was destroyed. A loud scream echoed from upstairs and the woman wished it didn't belong to anyone she loved but to one of the Death Eaters that had attacked their home.
She looked around her for something that could help her fight since her wand was broken. Just as she walked towards the baseball bat Hermione's father had given to Hugo, a Death Eater stepped into the room and shot a curse at her. The curse lifted her in the air and send her right upon the opposite wall. She hit her head and her upper body really hard and as she dropped to her knees she felt blood running down her face.
The Death Eater moved closer raising his wand to finish her but as he opened his mouth to say the killing curse a flash of red light hit him and he fell on the floor motionless. Harry run to his wife and helped her up. She was shaking but she couldn't help but notice the big wound on his left shoulder.
"Gin are you okay?" he asked her.
"Yeah, are you?" she returned the question but he dismissed his injuries with a nod.
"Ginny, listen to me. Lil is in the kitchen, which I protected against Death Eaters as much as I could. Gin, I need you to take her and leave".
"No, I'm not leaving you, I'm not leaving the boys", she said shaking her head.
"Ginny you're hurt and you don't have a wand! Take Lily and go! I'll find the boys and follow", he said and pushed her towards the kitchen but she wouldn't move. "Ginny, please go!"
"No..."
"Gin, think of Lily!"
"I can't leave you Harry".
"Gin, I'm not going to die! Just go!"
"But I can't..."
"You have to! Now, go, please, I'm begging you!" he pleaded and she finally obeyed him.
She run to the kitchen and grabbed Lily. The girl was shaken and had a bruised eye but other than that she was alright. With Lily's hand into hers she was ready to apparate along with her, using her daughter's wand, when she heard loud screams. What make her heart froze was the fact that they were screams of excitement.
She run back into the living room and for a moment she thought no one was there but then she saw him. She didn't control the scream that escaped her throat; it was like it belonged to somebody else. Harry Potter, her husband, the father of her children, the love of her life was lying on the floor drown in his own blood. She dropped beside him just as she heard Lily's scream from somewhere far away in spite the fact that she was standing at the door.
Somehow he was still conscious and he managed to whisper her name as she placed his head on her lap. His trembling hands were pressed against his stomach, that's where the wound was. She ripped a part of her shirt off, wrapped it and pulling his hands away she pressured it on his wound. Tears run down her face as her hands filled with his blood.
"Gin", he whispered again.
"Don't talk", she said as she placed her palm on his forehead, her lips inches from his cheek. "It's gonna be alright, you're gonna be okay".
"Ginny...I'm cold", he said and the panic in his voice scared her more than everything. "I...I cannot feel my legs".
"No", she said her tears falling down on him. "No, you won't Potter. Don't you dare die on me...don't you dare leave me!"
She looked around for his wand...she could use a spell to stop the bleeding and then drug him in the kitchen and apparate at Saint Mango's. But as she made to pull away in order to get the wand and make her plan come true he took a weak hold of her hand.
"Wait...don't go", he murmured his whole body shaking, his face white as paper. He fixed his eyes on hers and the pleading in them made her sat still and also made her realize that he was going to die. "I love you", he whispered and his head fell on the side, his eyes staring at nothing and Harry Potter was dead, leaving her back, still alive and swimming in his blood.

Oh...............I always knew you were evil!!!!!! :no: :no: :no: :no:
Oh, about the name thing all I have to say is :master:

Shut up!:whip:

Awh. That was so sad =[

Pams.

xo, Padfoot

AHHHHHH! SO EVIL ! OMG! QUICK POST AGAIN! *sobs* you killed Harry :(

xLillyx

I bet she didn't...she loves him too much to kill him! Trust me I know...

Dude didn't I tell you to shut up? I'm never telling you anything ever again!


Okay, thanks for reading and replying guys and forgive my outburst but she's driving me crazy! Here's some more.

Edit: to any new readers.....pay attention on this chapter it will come in handy later on.......


Ginny screamed as hard as she could and when she couldn't scream anymore she put her head in her hands and started sobbing into them, her whole body shaking, just like his did before he died. His vacant stare came back at her and she didn't notice immediately the warm hands that hugged her shoulders. When she finally did she jumped in shock and grabbed one of them, turning to face the owner.
Harry was staring back at her alarmed just as her eyes widened in shock. She looked around her and realized that she wasn't lying in the living room floor but in her bed. Then she turned to face him again, her breath trembling, her eyes swimming in tears. She placed her hands on his face, feeling his skin against hers, and then she moved her right hand across his bare chest, feeling his heart, making sure it still pounded. Then she hugged him tight, never wanting to let go.
"It's okay Gin, it was just a bad dream", he said as he stroked her hair.
She finally relaxed in his arms and as they sat in silence she was listening to his heart beats, thanking God that it was only a nightmare.
"What did you see?" he asked when she finally let go of him. She looked at the emerald eyes that she loved so much and the picture of him dead in her arms came back at her.
"I saw you", she replied, silent tears still running down her face.
"Was I so scary?"
"You died", she said and he sighed.
"Gin, I'm not going to die", he said and a sad smile appeared on her face.
"That's exactly what you said in my dream before you did".
"You can't think like that, my love. You're only torturing yourself", he said shaking his head and wiping her tears away with his thumbs.
"I can't lose you".
"You won't...we're gonna make it through this...together", he said and kissed her lips softly. She sighed and Harry hugged her again.
"Just know", she said looking up at him, "that I wouldn't make it without you". He looked at her with a serious look on his face.
"Yes you would", he said and she sat up looking at him. "You'll have to...for Jamie, Al and Lily".
"Harry..."
"I know that it's probably not the right time for this but given the situation with the Death Eaters, I think we should make this conversation".
"What are you talking about?" she asked confused.
"Gin, if something happens to me..."
"You were the one who told me not to think like that! If I can't think like that, you can't either!"
"If something happens to me", he repeated without commenting her words, "I need to know that you'll be okay".
"Okay? I just had a nightmare of you dying and I was scared to death...you think that there's a way for me to be okay without you?"
"I'm not going to die", he repeated. "But if I do you'll be the only one to protect the kids".
"Fine", she said. "I'll promise that if something happens to you, I'll try and be strong for the kids, if you promise me the same thing".
"What?" he asked perplexed.
"Will you be okay and strong if I die?" she asked raising her eyebrows.
"You're not going..."
"Will you?"
He looked at her. He couldn't imagine his life without looking at her face, without stroking her hair, without kissing her lips, without touching her skin, without caressing her body.
"I will", he responded and she nodded.
"Then I will too".

-Angie-

xLillyx

Hey everyone! Thanks for your replies...this chapter is a happy one, which I really enjoyed writing...I figured that I should put something happy in my story given what's coming...lol...tell me if you liked it.

Chapter 7

Harry was walking a big hall in the Ministry along with Hermione. He hadn't told her yet what Matthias told him, he just didn't know how. Plus he had to tell her that he was now charge of the Apostollo case. He opened his mouth to talk but Hermione beat him to it.
"You look really tired Harry", she said looking up from the papers she was holding.
"Yeah...Ginny and I didn't sleep at all last night" he replied and she laughed.
"You guys are unbelievable! All these things happening and still all you can think is how to grope each other as always!"
"What? No", he said shaking his head. "Ginny had a nightmare and it took me like forever to stop her from crying".
"Ginny...crying?" she asked in disbelief.
"Yeah, I know, but I think these later events really shook her. I'm kind of concerned actually".
"I know it's strange...Ron told me she got upset yesterday when they talked in the garden" she said and Harry shook his head deep in concern. Hermione suddenly burst into laughing out of nowhere.
"Why are you laughing?"
"Well...it just came back to me...remember when we watched the Titanic in my parent's house?" she said still laughing and Harry joined her.
"How could I forget?"
"Your wife must have been the only woman in the whole wide planet who didn't cry!"
"Instead she was outraged!"
"Yeah...because that stupid fake-redheaded couldn't move her butt just a smidge so that the fox would be saved as well!"
"Oh, you remember her words exactly!" he said.
"And Ron was trying to explain to her how romantic the movie was!" Hermione giggled.
"While he was crying his eyes out!" he said and they both roared with laughter.
"Okay, enough, my ribs hurt!" Hermione said after a while and she tried to suppress another outburst of laughter. "Still that makes it even harder to explain why Ginny is taking it so hard", she added and Harry became serious at once.
"I don't know...I mean yeah it's weird, but even before this whole Apostollo thing she was acting kind of strange", Harry said as he began walking again.
"Strange? What do you mean?"
"She just got irritated over nothing all the time".
"Well, that sounds like Ginny to me" Hermione said smiling. "You should know by now that the Weasleys have a nasty temper! She always gets irritated when Ron..."
"Yeah, Hermione, but she never did that with me! I mean I'm just realizing that something is wrong", Harry said and stopped walking again.
"Oh, come on Harry. I'm sure it's nothing. It's not like she's acted like that before".
"Oh, she did act like that before, but that was back when she was..." Harry started but cut his sentence as he finally recognized the signs. "Oh, my God!" he said and closed his eyes.
"What?" Hermione asked alarmed. Harry opened his eyes and smiled at her tiredly.

It was late in the afternoon and Molly and Arthur were at their daughter's home, learning the later events stunned.
"Mum, come on!" Ginny said indignantly as her mother sobbed on her shoulder.
"I can't believe they burned their house!" she said and Ginny felt her own eyes welling up as well...what the hell was wrong with her lately?
"Hey! I didn't realize you guys were here!" said Rose as she entered the kitchen.
"Yeah we haven't seen you at all since you arrived last week" her grandfather said hugging her, as Molly wiped her tears. Albus walked in too.
"I knew I heard voices from the kitchen!" he said smiling broadly as he hugged his grandmother.
"Oh, you've gotten tall Alby!" Molly said smiling. "Yet you're too thin! Ginevra Potter aren't you making sure that your kids eat properly?"
"Oh, mum don't start!" the woman said rolling her eyes.
"GINNY!GINNY!" Harry yelled as he opened the door. He dropped his coat and his bag on a chair and he run in the living room.
"We're in the kitchen" Ginny yelled as she stood up. Harry walked in with a big smile on his face.
"Hey everybody!" he said nodding at his parents-in-law.
"Dad, are you okay?" Albus asked.
"Yeah, I'm fine", he replied as Hermione entered the room too. "Ginny, can I talk to you?"
"Okay" she said and followed him upstairs, after she looked at Hermione for some explanation but she just smiled.
"So Ron isn't back from the shop yet?" Hermione said turning to face the others still in the room.
"No", Mr. Weasley replied. "What was that about?"
"Oh, you'll see!" said Hermione smiling.

"What's going on?" Ginny asked as she closed the door of their bedroom.
"Why didn't you tell me?" Harry asked without losing his smile.
"Tell you what?"
"Gin, I know!" he said widening his eyes.
"Know what?" she asked looking at him both confused and alarmed.
"You know what!" he said mockingly.
"Potter, either you tell me right now what you're talking about or I'm hexing you!" she said angrily.
"You mean you don't know?" Harry laughed.
"KNOW WHAT?" she yelled exasperated. He grabbed her from the waist and lifted her in the air. "Put me down you bloody lunatic!" she yelled as he was spinning her around.
"I'm so glad that I get to say it this time!" he said leaving her on the bed.
"Are you freaking mad?" she asked him.
"No", he smiled and bite his lower lip. "Gin...um...I think I know why you're so emotional these days".
"Wait, what?"
"You're pregnant!" he announced and she looked at him stunned.
"Huh?" she responded. "No, I'm not".
"Yes, you are!"
"No, I'm not", she said standing up.
"Yes you are".
"No, I'm not!", she said outraged.
"Yes, you are!"
"No, I'm..."she began but stopped. How long was it since...? "Oh, my God, I am!" she said bringing her hands to her mouth and Harry nodded still smiling broadly. "Oh my God!" she repeated and fell back on the bed. "I don't understand...I was taking the pill!"
"Well, it seems like you were forgetting it once and while".
"You think?" she asked ironically.
"Oh, come on love! This is great news!" Harry said when she covered her face with her hands.
"No it's not! I...I can't be pregnant after twelve years and with Death Eaters on the loose!" she said indignantly but he just smiled.
"We're gonna have a baby", he said and she threw a pillow at him. He avoided it and sat next to her.
"Oh, this is so..." she started but as Harry kissed her she couldn't continue. At first she just let him kissing her but as he moved his hand under her shirt and placed it on her belly, she finally gave in and smiling she kissed him back.

-Angie-

Awh, so cute =]

xlillyx

So I know I shouldn't be posting so often but my exams start next week and it would be kind of hard to post a lot then, so I'm just posting as much as I can now...I'm glad you all liked the new baby idea, I was kind of scared you're not going to...but enough with all the hapiness, time to intrigue things a little bit, isn't it? Oh, by the way I didn't cry during the Titanic either, I mean that door she was on was big enough, why couldn't Leonardo just climb up as well????!!!! Oh, Tori I tried to fit Molly in this chapter for you but I couldn't but it's time to learn some information about the Mexico thing!


Chapter 8

"Harry wait!" Ginny yelled chasing after her husband. He reached the end of the stairs before she did and looked at her mockingly.
"This time I'll announce it!"
"Well, you got to announce it to me...isn't that enough?"
"No" he smiled and run to the kitchen. She rolled her eyes and followed him.
"Where are Molly and Arthur?" Harry asked Hermione as he walked in.
"They just left, mate" Ron said coming from the living room and Harry frowned.
Hermione was making Albus and Rose something to eat and only looked up when Ginny came in.
"So is he right?" she asked her sister-in-law smiling.
"I guess he is", she said shrugging and Hermione run to hug her with a squeal.
"What's going on?" Ron asked perplexed as he, Albus and Rose watched as Hermione, Ginny and Harry hugged each other.
"Well..." Harry started but he stopped as James entered the room.
"Dad, mum can I talk to you?" he said in a serious tone. Ginny and Harry looked at each other and then Harry elbowed them to the living room.
James walked in behind his father and closed the door. He had found about a thousand ways to go to the festival but they were all ridiculous. Besides that as much as he wanted to go, it just didn't feel right to lie to his parents, so he decided to come clean with them.
"James we have something to tell you", Ginny said smiling before James could start.
"I have something to tell you too".
"It's ok, you go first", his mother said.
"Ok. You know I love music and that I'm in a band", he said. "We managed to be selected into the Teenage Battle of Bands, which is a big music festival and I need to go".
"Oh...sure, honey, as long as the Death Eaters get out of the way you can..."
"No, mum, it's tomorrow. I have to go tomorrow", James stated.
"But...baby, it's too dangerous..." Ginny replied shaking her head.
"Yeah, but this is a chance in a life time! You always say that we should never turn our backs to our luck! Please, please let me go!"
Ginny, unable to respond to this, turned to her husband, who had stayed silent until then.
"Jamie", Harry started slowly. "I understand that this means a lot to you, but I cannot let you put your life in danger for that".
"That's not fair!" James shook his head.
"Jamie, I'm sorry, but your safety comes first! The Death Eaters are dangerous!" Harry said.
"Oh, so they're dangerous for me and not for you?"
"What do you mean?" Harry asked perplexed.
"Does mum know that you're in charge of the Apostollo case?" James said looking at his mother.
"What?" she said looking from the one to the other.
"How do you know this?"
"IT'S TRUE?" Ginny yelled.
"Yeah it is" James answered before his father could. "And did you know that the aurors possess something the Death Eaters would do anything to have?"
"What?" Ginny asked again.
"HOW DO YOU KNOW THIS?"
"Somekind of an ancient book with powerfull spells he found in a tomb in Mexico".
"You went through my stuff?" Harry asked shocked.
"You dropped your bag and the envelope fell down".
"AND YOU OPENED IT?" Harry yelled at the top of his voice and James took some steps back.
"Why is it dangerous for me and it's not dangerous for you?"
"Your father is a trained auror, James" Ginny said deciding she would deal with her son now and yell at her husband later.
"I WANNA GO TO THE CONCERT!" James shouted ignoring his mother.
"Well, if there was any chance I would let you go, you just ruined it", Harry said outraged. The boy though was as angry as he was.
"Why do I have to destroy my future because of your past?" James said shaking with anger and leaving Harry speechless for a while.
"JAMES!" Ginny yelled warningly.
"Listen to me son" Harry began with a low voice in spite the fact that he was even angrier than he had been when he burst in Matthias' office. "You're not allowed to go anywhere!"
"WHY?"
"Because it was bad enough that you were my son, now you know a secret every Death Eater would kill to know!"
"Oh, don't you worry daddy...I would never betray your little secret to the Death Eaters...I know how much your job means to you" James said in a slow, hurting voice.
"It's not my job I'm worrying about, it's you!"
"OH, REALLY? SINCE WHEN?"
"SINCE ALWAYS!" Harry yelled back. "You can't go because you put yourself in bigger danger when you went through my stuff!"
"I DIDN'T GO THROUGH YOUR BLOODY STUFF! THEY WERE ON THE FLOOR!" James screamed.
"The envelope was closed and you opened it, yes or no?" Harry asked.
"Yes but..."
"You had no right!"
"AND YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO STOP ME FROM GOING TO THE CONCERT!"
"I'M YOUR FATHER! I HAVE EVERY RIGHT!"
"Why do you want so desperately to ruin my life?" James asked tears of anger running down his face.
"James for God's sake!" Ginny said indignantly. "You life won't be ruined if you don't go to that silly concert!"
"IT'S NOT SILLY!"
"Don't yell at your mother!" Harry warned him.
"Fine then I'll yell at you!"
"JAMES!" Ginny screamed outraged.
"LET ME GO TO THE CONCERT!"
"ENOUGH!" Harry bellowed. "This conversation is over. You can't go!"
James looked at his father his eyes still watering, shaking with anger.
"I HATE YOU!" he shouted at his father's face and he run upstairs in his room, leaving Harry shocked and hurt.

-Angie-

Chapter 8 continue

Ginny opened the door of their room hesitantly. She just let him be for a while, but now she felt that he needed her. He was sitting on the bed with his back at her staring at the opposite wall.
"Harry?" she whispered uncertain as she climbed the bed. He didn't respond. She crawled behind him and she putted her arms around him.
"Where is he?" he asked without looking at her.
"In his room", she replied, putting her hands on his cheeks and turning his face towards her. He had tears in his eyes. "He didn't mean it", she said reassuringly. She was kind of worried that he would take it this bad; knowing Harry everything James had said probably brought out Harry's insecurities about whether he was a good father or not.
"It sounded like he meant it to me".
"He's fifteen...remember how you were like when you were fifteen?" she said and as he sighed she kissed his neck affectionately. He looked at her.
"I'm going to have another child while I can't handle the ones I already have", he said and she laughed. "Gin, can I ask you something?"
"You can ask me anything, my love, you know that".
"Did I...did I ever neglected you...for my job?" he asked terrified. She sighed; she was right, he was actually questioning himself.
"No, Harry, no", she responded shaking her head. "Harry, your work is demanding, we both know that, but you always managed to be here for us. You've given everything a father can give to our children Harry, don't ever think otherwise".
"James doesn't think so, does he?"
"Harry he was angry, he didn't know what he was talking about".
"I can't believe he opened the envelope", he said shaking his head.
"Well, I guess he took that from his dad", she smiled.
"What?"
"Curiosity", she replied and a small grin appeared on his face. "Why didn't you tell me you were on the Apostollo case?" she said calmly, deciding that she shouldn't get upset with him when he was so down.
"I couldn't find the right time", he responded, turning to face her properly.
"What about that book James was talking about?"
"That...that is something James shouldn't know. Hermione doesn't even know yet. At least he only knows about its existence and not what it can do...we wouldn't put that on paper".
"What is it about that book that makes it so dangerous?" she asked.
"Well...I did found it in a tomb in Mexico. It was protected with several spells but I managed to take it. It's written in an ancient magical language and the office hasn't translated it all yet, just some bits".
"Yeah, but why is it...?"
"From what they have translated it seems that it contains unknown spells..."
"Like Snape's potions book?" she interrupted him.
"No it's way worse. They're all spells of black magic and according to some parts of it; it contains a spell that...that can release a cursed,evil soul", he said slowly.
"Cursed, evil...what does that mean?"
"It means that if the Death Eaters lay their hands upon the book, if they manage to translate the spell and if it works...they can bring Voltemort back" he revealed and she brought her hands in her mouth frightened.
They both stared at each other's eyes and Ginny finally understood why he made her promise to be strong if he dies...he was planning to do anything in order to stop Voltemort from returning. At that moment in spite her shock and fear, she felt her heart bursting with affection for her husband and wanted nothing more than to attach her lips to his; she didn't get a chance to act on that impulse though. As the door burst open they both jumped.
"James left", Albus announced and they stood up simultaneously, both scared.

Wow! Voltemort...back???!!!!:faint: And I thought they had gotten riden of him for good! Did James run away? Is he gonna get hurt? You really need to post soon my friend, I'm waiting!!!!!
Maria
P.S: Thanks for you-know-what, you're an amazing friend!:bow: xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxxooxxoxoxoxoxoxox oxxoxoxoxoxoxox

"What do you mean left?" Harry asked and not waiting for an answer he run in his oldest son's room. The door was open but no one was inside. Harry looked around. The door of the closet was open and James' backpack, some of his clothes, his broom and his guitar were missing. The window was broken. Harry grunted just as Albus and Ginny walked in and he turned to face them.
"Was he here when you came in before?" Harry asked Albus.
"No, I heard you guys fighting and I came to see if he was alright but he wasn't inside", the boy responded and Harry covered his face with his hands.
"How are we gonna find him?" Ginny asked Harry.
"Well, we know where he's going", Harry responded.
"But he said that this festival is tomorrow...where the hell is he going to spend the night?"
"What festival?" Albus asked but Harry waved his question off and he hurried downstairs.
"Harry, what's going on?" Ron asked when he burst in the living room.
"Why were you yelling?" Lily asked but Harry only looked at Hermione.
"I'm going back at the Ministry...are you coming?"
"Why what happened?" Hermione asked alarmed as Ginny and Albus walked in.
"James run away" he replied and they looked at him shocked.
"What?" Lily whispered looking at her father bewildered.
"Hermione will you come?" Harry demanded and she nodded standing up.
"I don't understand", Ron said looking at Harry and Ginny. "Why would he run away?"
"Ginny will tell you Ron. Hermione come on, we have to go. We have to find him before the Death Eaters do".

James had used his broom to reach as far as he thought safe from his house but then he chose to walk, since he was certain that he would be an easy target in the air, plus Muggles would see him. Now however he had stopped walking and he was sitting under a tree in an unknown park.
He had absolutely no idea where he was or how to get to the festival but he chose not to deal with it at the moment. When his anger was boiling inside him everything seemed simple and running away seemed like the best option, but now...now fear was taking over. Where would he go? What happened if Death Eaters found him or worse if his father did? He couldn't use magic without getting traced and he left in such a hurry he didn't take any money with him.
He sighted and stood up; sitting there wouldn't do him any good. He walked drugging his broom and his guitar while he wondered how weird would Muggles find him if they saw him. He should have planned this better. He should have taken some Muggle money with him and his father's invisibility cloak...but just as this thought formed in his mind he pushed it away. He didn't want anything from his father because his father didn't care. He didn't care about him...no, all he cared about was that stupid book and that Apostollo, all he cared about was his job, not him, never him.

Harry managed to alert the entire auror office in about half an hour. All kind of aurors, from the most experienced ones to the new recruited where dealing with young Potter's disappearance. Usually other departments were dealing with kids who run away, but they all wanted to help Harry, plus no one was brave enough to argue with him when he was that upset.
Matthias was watching Harry from his chair as the man was pacing up and down his office. Matthias was an auror for the biggest part of his life but now he had to admit that he had absolutely no idea how to calm Harry down, he didn't even know how to talk to him, so he was kind of glad that Hermione was there too.
"Harry stop pacing up and down, you're going to open a hole in the floor!" the woman said and he turned to look at her.
"Why haven't they tracked him down yet? Why is this taking so long?"
"Harry, you've already asked me about a million times and as I told a million times before..."
"Hermione!"
"James is underage, he has the Trace on him, but so do thousands of underage witches and wizards and since he hasn't use any magic they can't track him down immediately...first they must separate his Trace from the others, then they must run a few tests to make sure it's his and then finally locate him" Hermione explained again in the cute know-it-all way she only knew how to use.
"But the Death Eaters can't track him right?" he asked once again, but as Hermione began answering that the Death Eaters didn't even know that James had run away, the door opened and a beautiful woman walked in. She had black eyes and blonde hair and she looked about twenty nine years old.
"They send me to tell you that the search isn't complete just yet", she said and Harry grunted.
"Thank you Artemis" Matthias nodded.
"Come in Artemis, don't stand at the door", Hermione said and the woman walked in, closing the door behind her. "Harry do you know Artemis?"
"No", he said indifferently. He knew what Hermione was doing. She brought that unknown woman in so that Harry would be embarrassed to unleash his fury that they haven't locate his son yet in front of her.
"He couldn't have", Matthias said. "He was at Mexico when she came to work for us".
Harry looked at his boss exasperated...Matthias was playing along.
"I was really looking forward to meet you Mister Potter...I've heard so much about you!" the girl smiled stretching out her hand. Harry was boiling inside but he felt sorry for the girl, it was the others that were using her after all, so he shook it.
"Artemis came here from...what was it again?" Hermione asked smiling and received a murderous look from Harry.
"Oh, Germany...Munich" she replied. "I was working as an auror there, but I guess now I'm with you guys".
"Yeah, nice to meet you", Harry said quickly without smiling. "Did anyone tell you why is this taking so long?"
"No, but I guess it's difficult to separate someone's Trace from all the others", she replied shrugging and Hermione looked at Harry raising her eyebrows and he just fell back on a chair.
He looked out of one of Matthias' magical windows. The Ministry was an underground facility and had magical windows, which could depict whatever kind of weather the owner wanted them to, yet Matthias had adjusted his own windows to show exactly what normal windows would at the moment. So as Harry looked out of one of them he knew that it was dark outside...

James was walking an empty street. He was getting kind of tired from carrying his broom, his guitar and his backpack but he would resist the temptation and he wouldn't use magic...he knew that they'd found him within seconds if he did. He had asked some Muggles and he had been informed that there was a bus station nearby. He didn't know what he would do with money but he figured he should first get there and worry about that then.
He couldn't help thinking that this was a terrible mistake. He didn't know how to get to the festival and besides that as his anger was leaving him, somewhere inside him he felt like a big wave of remorse was ready to take over. He had pushed his relationship with his father to the very edge or even down the cliff. He didn't want to, but he kept thinking was his father's face when he told him...he told him...How would he take that back? But every time his thoughts came to this, he blocked them out. If his father really cared about him, he'd have let him go to the concert. So since he didn't care why should James feel guilty?
It had gotten dark and in spite of himself he was getting worried. Where the hell would he spend the night? He kept glancing behind his shoulder...he didn't want to admit it but he was kind of scared that Death Eaters would find him...but then again his father with the entire auror office behind him still hadn't, how would they? He had just finished that thought in his mind when he heard a noise behind him. He turned but there was nothing but the empty street behind him. He told himself that he was getting paranoid and kept walking faster than before.
Soon he found that bus station. He was relieved to see there was a bus waiting. Finally, something was convienient...

-Angie-

Convienient? It don't like the sound of that word:shifty: ...I still can't believe James run away! And like that wasn't enough he thinks his father doesn't care about him? What's going to happen to him? Oh, this is so thrilling!!! Post soon...I wanna know what happens next!
Maria xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo

hehe in time for a post yey! i agree with you ^ convienient not so good! can wait for more lol x

xlillyx

I don't like the sound of that bus... Hopefully it's a great big, triple decker, violently purple bus...

Right, Alicia wanted to speak to James anyway...

GO HOME! DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH YOU'VE HURT YOUR FAMILY? THINK WHAT THEY'RE GOING THROUGH! DON'T ACT LIKE YOUR FATHER... GO HOME AND SAY SORRY NOW JAMES!! And when you go, say Congrats to your mum and dad for me please...

Oh, and I don't like the sound of that bus... No muggle buses wait at bus stops if theres no muggle waiting... I hope it's the Knight bus...

Abi...xox
Alicia... XD

Hey guys thanks for posting...I think it's gonna be a while till I can post again after this one, but you never know with me so keep an eye on it...let me know what you think about this...

Chapter 9 continue

"Ginny, calm down!" George said watching his little sister pacing up and down in her living room. When he decided he should bring his kids to see their cousins he never expected that.
"Don't tell me to calm down! My son is missing!" she said angrily.
"I know Gin but it's only a matter of time before Harry finds him".
"What if he doesn't?"
"Oh, come on Ginny, a person can't just disappear", Ron put in. "He will find him".
"Yeah, he's a kid not a dog, which is kind of weird when you look at his parents", George said smiling only to receive a sharp look and a grunt from his sister.
"Ron, do you think you can contact Hermione with that mirror and..."
"I already tried Gin, she's not answering".
"Why isn't she answering? What if something bad happened?" Ginny asked looking at her brothers.
"No, Gin I'm sure she's busy, that's all".
"That or he doesn't want to see Ron's face".
"Shut up".
"You both shut up!" Ginny said indignantly. As she looked at them angrily however she felt dizzy and for a moment everything became a blur and if George didn't grabbed her she would have fallen down.
"Gin, are you ok?" Ron asked jumping out of his armchair as George helped her sit on the couch.
"Yeah, I just got a little dizzy, that's all" she replied closing her eyes. "Don't worry, it's normal".
"No, it's not" George said shaking his head. "Maybe we should alert Teddy".
"What? No,no you guys I'm fine".
"Gin..."
"Oh, but you don't know!" she said finally smiling.
"What?" Ron asked perplexed.
"I'm pregnant", she announced and they looked at her stunned.
"Are you kidding?" Ron said finally. "Is that why you guys were hugging before? Damn! No one tells me anything anymore!"
"That's great sis", George said smiling. "You really have dehydrated that husband of yours, huh?"
"Oh, that's...that's disgusting!" Ron said making a face. "Mum doesn't know, does she? She's gonna be so excited that she's gonna have another grandchild!"
"Yeah, I know", Ginny said. "I just wish that a certain other grandchild of hers is okay right now".

"So it's okay I don't have any money?" James asked the bus driver.
"Sure, come on up boy", he said not looking at him but looking straight forward in the empty street.
James glanced inside the bus. There were nine other passengers inside it but for some reason they didn't strike him like ordinary Muggles. Some of them weren't even dressed as ordinary Muggles as far as he could tell from the shows he had seen in his Aunt's TV.
"Won't your other passengers have objections if I ride the bus for free?" James asked the bus driver.
"Do you want to ride the bus or not boy?"
"I..." James stammered not so sure what he should answer. He glanced at the passengers once more. "I don't", he said making the driver to turn and look at him at last. James was taken aback from the driver's scared face. His father's lightning bolt was nothing compared to the huge wound across that man's left cheek. "Sorry", the boy said and started walking fast towards the opposite direction, he wanted to get as far as possible from that disgusting spectacle.
"Wait a minute boy".
James turned. The bus driver had gotten off the bus and was walking towards him. James noticed that the other passengers had left their seats.
"What do you want?" James asked drawing his wand.
"Isn't it obvious, boy? You", grinned the scarred man and when he did James finally recongnized him.

Chapter 10

"Mister Potter!" shouted the young auror that burst into Matthias' office. "Sir, we located your son".
"See I told you they would separate his Trace eventually", Hermione smiled as Harry jumped up from his seat.
"No, no, we didn't", the auror said.
"What?" Matthias asked. "Then how did you find him?"
"He used magic".
"Why would he use magic? He would know that we'd find him immediately", Hermione wondered perplexed.
"Maybe that's what he wants", Matthias said as he watched Harry grabbing his stuff.
"Or maybe he had no choice", Harry said and rushed out.

Normally when some of their cousins came to visit Albus and Lily were really excited but now all they did was bid a hello to them and then sit silently in Albus' room. Nothing could take their minds off the fact that their big brother had run away. Albus was looking out of the window in the dark night, wondering where James could be, while Lily brushed Rose's hair absent minded and Hugo played magical chess with F.
Roxanne and F were Uncle George's kids. Roxanne was named after one of her grandmothers and F after Uncle George's dead twin brother, but nobody ever called him Fred, it just made everyone sad, so they all called him F. Roxanne was fifteen and F was a year younger than Albus and a year older than Lily, he was thirteen. They were both redheads, but Roxanne had her mother's beautiful dark blue eyes, while F had his father's eyes...and attitude.
Albus sighted and looked away from the window to Roxanne. She was lost in thought as well. From all their Weasley cousins Roxanne was the only one who was in the same age as James, she also was one of his best friends, so Albus knew she was almost as worried as he was.
"Did you know?" he asked Roxanne suddenly and she looked up.
"Know what?"
"About that festival" Albus said and everybody else in the room looked at her. She bit her lower lip.
"You knew, didn't you?" Lily said widening her eyes.
"Yeah, well, I did...but I wouldn't...if I knew what he was going to do..."
"No one blames you, Roxie", Rose said giving Albus a sharp look, which he ignored.
"Where's that thing taking place anyway?" Albus asked Roxanne.
"Edinburg as far as I know".
"He's never gonna make it there", Lily said shaking he head as she sat next to her brother.
"Of course he's not gonna make it there...your dad will find him soon enough", F said as he considered his next move in chess.
"I hope he's alright", Lily sighted.
"He's gonna be fine", Roxanne said trying to reassure Lily and herself. "He can take care of himself".
"It's one thing to fight supid Slytherins and a whole another to fight Death Eaters", Lily pointed out.
"And why is that?" Rose smiled. "Death Eaters were Slytherins".
"That's not fair Rose" Albus said refusing to laugh with the others. "There are exceptions".
"Oh, yeah? As I recall though Al you were terrified that you're ganna get sorted in Slytherin" Hugo smirked.
"I changed my mind...I have friends in Slytherin".
"You mean that Malfoy kid?" Roxanne asked taking the same expression James took when Albus brought it up.
"Well, the truth is he's a good kid", Rose said and Roxanne looked at her exasperated.
"His father was a Death Eater! He could be Apostollo for all we know!" she yelled.
"What does it matter? Even if his father is Apostollo, which I don't think is true, what does that has to do with Scorpius? Kids are not always what their parents are nor should they try to be".
"Oh, is that why every time somebody tells you, you look like your dad you're beaming with pride?" Roxanne said and Albus looked at her outraged.
"Who died and made you James?" he said before he could stop himself but he regretted it. Roxanne turned away from him angry, but the worst was the fact that Rose started crying. "Rosie I'm sorry...I..."
"You shut it" Lily said irritated, sounding just like her mother, as she hugged Rose's shoulders. "It's gonna be alright, Rosie".
"No, it's not", she said between sobs. "Everybody says that...but...but we lost our house and...and James left...and these supposed to be our best holydays...and now it's all turning into a nightmare...and I don't...I'm scared that someone is gonna get hurt..."
"Rose nobody is gonna get hurt", F said from the floor.
"Yeah, Rosie it's gonna be okay" Lily added rubbing her back as she watched from the corner of her eye her brother and Roxanne looking in different directions.
"He's not gonna die", Roxanne said after a while and Albus turned to look at her.
"I never said he will", he whispered holding back his tears with difficulty. "He's my brother...I love him...I just hope he's okay".

The boy was scared. He was hiding in a small alley behind the garbage and he could hear them yelling and laughing and getting closer and closer. He managed to run away from them using some defensive spells but they followed him and he dropped his broom, so he couldn't fly away.
"Boy, where are you?" yelled one of them mockingly. "Come out and play".
His voice was really close, he could be just some meters from the alley. James closed his eyes and pulled his legs close to his chest. How did they find him so quickly? How would he get out of this one? He had a knack in getting in trouble but it was never that bad.
He almost jumped out of his hiding place when he heard twelve loud pops, the one after the other. Someone had just apparated close by. He could hear a bunch of different voices yelling and then the flash of spells lighten the alley and he knew there was a fight happening close to him. From all the voices that yelled spells together, he managed to make out one that made his heart come to its right place.
"Dad", he whispered relieved under his breath and clutching his wand he crawled out of the garbage.
As he stood up he saw that the fight was taking place in the middle of the street right in front of him. He could see his father and his aunt as they stunned and disarmed Death Eaters. He sighted, since they were here he had nothing to fear, did he?
"Hello boy", he heard a voice from behind him. He turned and saw the scar-faced man but he didn't even manage to raise his wand before his spell hit him right in the chest.

A young Death Eater fell in Harry's legs hit by a full-body binding curse and Harry looked around. They outnumbered the Death Eaters and in few seconds his aurors would won. By bringing those Death Eaters into custody they would find out some things about Apostollo, but at the moment Harry couldn't care less about that. Where was James? Since it was his Trace they've followed he had to be somewhere close, yet he couldn't see him anywhere. Where was James?
Hermione stunned a woman right next to him but a Death Eater was aiming at her from behind. Harry managed to stupefy him though before he could make a spell. The Death Eaters still fighting were right about three, but soon they'd...
"STOP!"
Harry turned to look who yelled and his heart sank just as his eyes widened. A man, a very familiar man had just stepped out from the opposite alley. It was Dolohov. Harry fought him last year when he escaped Azkaban, actually he was the one who made the scar in his face, but he had managed to get away.
Although it wasn't Dolohov that scared Harry to death. No, it was the fact that he was carrying the unconscious body of his son in his arms. Harry lowered his wand as the man approached. The fight had stopped.
"Let go of my son", Harry said warningly.
"You're in no position to give orders, Potter", the man said. "Tell your people to lower their wands".
Harry looked at Hermione and nodded and all the aurors around them did as they were told. The Death Eaters that still stood helped the ones who were on the ground stand, just as Dolohov made the bus come close to them, without anyone actually driving it.
"Give me my son back!" Harry demanded but Dolohov just smirked.
"Smart kid...wouldn't get on the bus" he said nodding at it.
"What did you do to him?" Harry asked as he stared at James' face, looking for possible injuries.
"Just a little sleeping spell...nothing compared to what we're gonna do to him next!"
"You son of the..."
"No, no, no" Dolohov interrupted Harry's swearing, pointing his wand at the boy's head. "Just a word, Potter, just a move and I swear I'll kill him right in front of you, I swear you'll watch your son die".
"If you do, you'll fall dead the next second", Hermione yelled gesturing to all the aurors around her.
"Yeah, maybe, but that it's not gonna bring the boy back, will it?" he smiled and then gestured the Death Eaters on the bus.
"Give me my son!" Harry demanded again.
"No, we like him, I think we're gonna keep him as a pet", he said taking some steps towards the bus. Harry raised his wand.
"Let go of him, NOW!" he yelled but Hermione grabbed his wand clutching hand.
"No, Harry, he's gonna do it, he's gonna kill him", she said terrified.
"Listen to the Mudblood, Potter. I am going to do it! Lower your wand!"
Harry had no choice but to do as Dolohov said. The bus was filled with injured Death Eaters now and Dolohov climbed the first step still holding James.
"Say goodbye to your son, Potter, I rather doubt that you're gonna see him again", the man said smiling and he stepped in the bus. They saw him through the windows placing the unconscious boy in a seat.
Harry could do nothing but watch as the bus started moving away from them. He could do nothing but watch as the Death Eaters were getting away with his son as their winning trophy. The bus disappeared in thin air and Harry could only stand there, shaking with tears, looking dazed at the spot where the bus disappeared. They took his son. He fell on his knees. A part of his heart was on that bus and he could do nothing to take it back...his son.

NOOOOOO! Damn you Death Eaters! I can't believe they've captured James (actually since you had told me about it I can but it's a sort of speech). I hope Harry finds him though before he gets hurt, 'cause I didn't like that 'what we're gonna do to him next' at all.

Chapter 11

Hermione was kneeling next to Harry, holding his hands. They had apparated back to the Ministry and the other aurors had gone to make their reports about what had just happened, yet Harry and Hermione went straight to Matthias. Hemione told him what happened while Harry kept his head buried in his hands. Matthias was looking at him full of sympathy and pity. No matter what Hermione was saying to calm him down, they all knew that things were really, really bad. They had no idea where the Death Eaters took the boy, they had no idea how to look for them and they had no idea how to save the boy.
"They're gonna kill him, aren't they?" Harry said shakily without looking up.
"No, I don't think they will" Hermione said shaking her head; she had tears in her eyes. "If they wanted to kill him, they would have done it".
Harry raised his head and looked at her, his emerald eyes shining with tears.
"You heard what he said...he said they're gonna do bad things to him, that I'm never gonna see him again".
"Harry, we're gonna find him", she said but he only shook his head and placed his head in his hands again. He was desperate.
"This is my entire fault", he whispered.
"What? No, Harry, how is it your fault?" Hermione asked, squeezing his hand.
"If I hadn't been so stubborn, if I had just let him go to the concert..."
"Harry, you only did what you thought right", Matthias said. "You couldn't know what James was gonna run away".
"So you're saying it's my son's fault?" Harry asked looking at him irritated.
"No, I didn't say..."
"Harry, it's nobody's fault", Hermione said and Harry looked at her.
"How am I gonna tell Ginny? How am I gonna tell her that I lost our son right through my hands?"
"We're gonna do it together", Hermione said reassuringly but Matthias shook his head.
"No, Harry you can't leave...what if they make contact?" he said.
"Why would they make contact?" Hermione asked perplexed.
"You said it yourself Hermione, if they wanted to kill the boy they would have done it...instead they kidnapped him...and kidnappers usually make contact", Matthias explained and Harry nodded. Then he turned and looked at Hermione, pleading with his eyes. The woman sighted and nodded.

Hermione apparated home half an hour later. She stayed in the kitchen waiting for the others to come and find her. She knew that this was going to be one of the most difficult and hard things she ever had to do for Harry...telling Ginny her son was kidnapped by Death Eaters.
She didn't wait for long. Ginny stormed in, followed by Ron and George.
"What happened? You've found him? Where is he?' Ginny asked quickly. Hermione didn't know how to tell her. She just looked at her and tears run down her face.
"Hermione, what happened?" the woman demanded watching her crying. Ginny felt her heart pounding hard against her chest, she had a bad feeling from the beginning and Hermione's watering eyes didn't help. "Hermione, where's my son?"
Ron went close to his wife, placing his hand around her. She looked at him.
"What happened?" he whispered and Hermione lowered her head. She couldn't say it, she just couldn't.
Ginny grunted losing her patience. She pushed Ron away and grabbed Hermione from the shoulders.
"Where's my son?" she asked her.
"We located him", Hermione started finally.
"That's a good thing right?" George asked perplexed.
"The Death Eaters found him first", she said and Ginny's eyes widened in shock. She shook Hermione.
"What happened to him? You saved him, right?" she demanded.
"Gin..." Hermione whispered looking at her terrified eyes.
"WHERE'S MY SON, HERMIONE?"
Ron grabbed Ginny's hands and pulled her away from Hermione.
"Ginny calm down!" he yelled, and then he turned to Hermione. "Honey, can you please tell her that James is okay?"
"I..." Hermione stammered looking in her husband's blue eyes. "I can't".
"Where's my son?" Ginny repeated again, tears running down her eyes.
"We fought the Death Eaters, but...Dolohov...remember Dolohov? He...he..."
"What?" George asked.
"He had James, so we couldn't curse him...he'd kill him if we did. The Death Eaters got away..."
"That's what this is all about?" George said rolling his eyes. "THe Death Eaters got away? So what?"
Hermione looked straight into Ginny's eyes.
"What happened to my son?" she asked as the tears continued running down her face.
"The Death Eaters took him with them", she said and Ginny kept looking at her trying to comprehend what she just told.
"What?" Albus said from the door. Ron and George turned and looked. Albus, Lily and Roxanne were standing at the door, all looking shocked at Hermione just like Ginny did.
"James was...was captured?" Roxanne asked with a trembling voice.
"Roxie we'd better go", George said taking his daughter's hand but she shrugged it off.
"No, I wanna know what happened to my best friend".
"And I wanna know what happened to my brother", Albus added but he didn't had the chance to get a proper answer since his mother collapsed on the floor.
"Ginny!" Ron yelled kneeling beside her as Hermione brought her hands to her mouth.

It was late in the morning when Harry returned home. He had spend the entire night in the Ministry but Matthias noticed how exhausted he was and made him go home, promising that he would alert him immediately if anything happened.
Harry apparated in their kitchen and just stood there for a few moments, feeling terribly sick. It wasn't the fact that he had stayed up all night that had exhausted him. It was the constand waiting, the constant crave for news, for something that would tell him that his son was okay and then the disappointment. He couldn't feel the pain he felt last night though, he just felt numb and he felt like everything was just a stupid dream of his...yet he couldn't wake up...why couldn't he wake up?
"Harry?" Ron said hesitantly as he came into the room. Harry looked up. His best friend was looking at him like he was a ghost and Harry could only assume he looked terrible. "Any news?" Ron asked not commenting on Harry's pale face and red swollen eyes.
"Nothing", the man responded shaking his head. "Where's Ginny" he asked and Ron bit his lower lip.
"When Hermione told her about James...she fainted", Ron said and Harry looked at him alarmed.
"Is she okay? Where is she?"
"Upstairs...we left her sleeping but she could be awake by now" Ron said and Harry nodded. Then he closed his eyes trying to gather as much energy as he had left. "Harry..." Ron said slowly but stopped. What would he say? He ought to console him as his best friend and his brother-in-law, but he didn't know how. Harry however just patted his shoulder and passing him left the room and went upstairs.
He stopped outside their bedroom's door. He closed his eyes again and tried to calm his breath and lose the worried expression he carried since last night. He took a deep breath and opened the door.
Ginny was in the bed covered with a blanket, with her back at him and he could only see the top of her head. He understood though that she was awake, her breath was too fast. He sat at the edge of the bed and looked at her back trying to figure out what to say to her, but she spoke first.
"Tell me you've found something...anything" she whispered shakily.
"Gin..." he said, placing his hand on her back. She let out a sob and then turned, sat up and hugged him. Her face was even paller than his and her eyes were watering. She hadn't stopped crying yet from last night. Harry held her body tight close to his and kissed her forehead.
"You think he's still alive?" she said, her trembling breath on his neck.
"Yes", he said skaking his head. "If they wanted to kill him they would have done it there...in front of me".
"What do they want?"
"I don't know...but James...James is gonna be okay...I'm gonna find him", Harry said saying his son's name with difficulty...it hurt too much when he did. She got out of his arms and looked at him.
"How? You don't even know who the master of this thing is".
"Ginny listen to me...I will find him...I will find him even if I have to turn this whole world upside down!" he said looking deep into her eyes. "I just want one thing from you".
"What?"
"I need you to take care of our baby", he said looking at her belly. "Ron told me you fainted. Just try and stay calm, think of the baby".
"I don't want another child if I don't have James!" she yelled and she covered her face with her hands. Harry hugged her again and she sobbed in his chest.
"Please, please stop crying my love, you're gonna hurt the baby. Don't worry, we're gonna have our son back soon".

James woke up and for a few minutes he was just staring at the ceiling above him without realizing he wasn't home. He had a terrible headache...maybe he should ask a painkiller from his mum.
And then it all came back at him...the awful fight with his father, how he run away, the Death Eaters...the Death Eaters! He sat up really fast and he got dizzy. He closed his eyes for a second and when he opened them he looked around.
He was lying on the floor of a small, empty and dirty cell. It had no windows and the light was coming from candles that hung in the corners. The door was opposite him. He looked at it. He guessed that it was locked but it wouldn't hurt giving it a try. He got up slowly and walked towards it. He was only a meter from it when his right leg was pulled backwards and he fell down. He turned and was terrified to see that there was a thick chain around his ankle he hadn't noticed before, that went all the way to the opposite wall. He was tied up like a dog.
He searched in his clothes for his wand but it wasn't there, so he tried to free his leg from the chain with his hands, but no matter how much he tried to pull his led out, he couldn't. Then despair came and the more he tried to free his leg the more desperate he got. He gave up and then the questions came.
Where was he? What happened? Did the Death Eaters take him? Probably, by the looks of it. Why didn't his father save him? He was there, James saw him. Why did he let them capture him? Maybe he had no choice...or maybe he didn't want to save him. No, that was stupid. He would have saved him if he could. Wouldn't he? Maybe he wouldn't. James wouldn't blame him if he didn't want a son who had told him that he hated him. But what was going to happen now? What if his dad didn't come to save him this time either? What would he do? Would he stayed there until he died or until they killed him? But no, these thoughts were stupid...his dad would come. Wouldn't he? James grunted to himself indignantly. These thoughts were torturous; he had to stop thinking like that.
He heard voices approaching and then keys on the door. He hurried up and wiped the tears from his face just as the door opened. The bus driver, dressed now in a Death Eater robw, walked in followed by four other Death Eaters. The boy just glared at him aggressively as he smirked at him.
"I know you've been here for like seven hours now but I still wanted to welcome you and all", he said smiling. The smile made his wound even more disgusting.
"Where am I?" James asked.
"You're in our Headquarters...you're actually the guest of honor...our master is really glad you're here".
"Apostollo?" the boy asked shrinking his nose in contempt.
"Yes, Apostollo", the man nodded. "See I have orders to welcome you and offer you a bargain".
"A bargain?" the boy repeated perplexed.
"We will let you go if you join our forces".
"Are you insane?"
"Me? No...Apostollo though is a little bit".
"I'm never gonna join you. Why do you want me to anyway? I'm a fifteen year old what do I have to offer to you?"
"Only your father's torturing and despair", the man said smiling and James shook his head outraged.
"You can go to that Apostollo and tell him to go to hell and to take you with him...Just leave me alone!" the boy said and the man's smile broadened.
"I told Apostollo it was a long shot. You're so like your father...so naive, so stupid..."
"Stupid?" the boy repeated. "How can you call someone else stupid? Have you looked in the mirror?"
The man pulled his wand from his robes and pointed it right into James' chest. The boy took some steps back.
"You know it was your father who scared my face".
"I know", the boy responded, his back on the wall.
"No wonder then why I'm gonna enjoy this so much. You're just too like him for your own good".
The boy looked at the wand that was aiming at him, feeling his heart pounding hard. He was terrified but just as the man raised his wand to form what the boy knew would be the cruciatus curse something completely irrelevant came to his mind. This was the very first time someone resembled him with his dad.
"Crucio!"
The pain that hit the boy was unbearable. He collapsed on the floor while he felt like his bones were melting and his blood was boiling. He screamed harder than he ever had in his life wishing that the Death Eaters could just kill him, kill him and take the pain away. The pain stopped just as suddenly as it had come. James was lying on the floor, shaking, taking deep breaths and watching the scar-faced man above him smile broadly as he was relishing the image of the broken boy at his legs.
Another Death Eater moved forward taking his mask off. James sat up shakily and looked at him. He was as old as Dolohov, so the boy assumed he was one of Voltemort's followers twenty years ago and not one of the new Death Eaters.
"I was there you know, child", the man said. "The night Voltemort came back...I was there and watched as he tortured your father...and Dolohov and I were both there when your father killed him...well, sort of speech".
"And you will be there when my father kills Apostollo and all of you", they boy yelled and the Death Eaters laughed.
"We will see about that", Dolohov said. "See Yaxley? I told you the boy is as cheeky as his daddy".
"Yeah I can see that", responded the other man called Yaxley, and then with a wave of his head all the five Death Eaters pointed their wands at the boy on the floor. "You should learn some manners, child", he said and James closed his eyes waiting for the excruciating pain to come once more. He didn't wait for long...

Wow, really long post! I love long posts!

Wow, poor James. 5 Crucios at once! Ouch!

Well I have a theory. I think Apostollo is Dean. I don't think he really died. I think he's trying to get back at Harry for taking Ginny :D

he he. Seriously, I have no clue who it could be. Of course it could be a woman...

*sobs* that is so sad! Evil Death Eaters leave James alone or Harry is gonna kick your butts!!! Seriously though I can't believe they tortured him, poor Jamie!!!

I have a theory about Apostollo too...I think it's gonna be a new character that is somehow related to Voltemort and now wants to bring him back! No? Whatever...I can't wait untill we'll find out how he is!!!! Post soon please!

Chapter 12

Harry had told Ginny that they would have their son back soon...yet a week had gone by and still they didn't know anything. It was like James had disappeared from the face of the earth. Ginny had gotten completely desperate and Harry couldn't help but feeling like that himself. A week with no clue of where their son was, if he was okay...if he was still alive.
And like this wasn't enough, somehow the whole story had gotten to the press. The Daily Prophet had sold a thousand of copies when it revealed that Harry Potter's son was captured by an unknown group. Thankfully they didn't know anything about Apostollo or the Death Eaters or people would be way more shocked than they were now. Because everyone was shocked and even panicked. If Harry Potter, the hero, the legend, couldn't protect his son against that group, how would normal people protect their families? Reporters were waiting for Harry every time he went to the Ministry and every time he left it, something the man was finding really irritating. He felt like they were playing with his pain, trying to make a headline out from his son's abduction. He seriously thought that some of these days he's gonna snap and hex them back to where they came from.
At least he and Ginny had their family and friends to support them. They were all there on their side. Bill and Fleur actually abandoned their holydays in France and came back to England with their kids for them. Molly though was the most supportive one. She had actually moved in their house to watch over her daughter, since she learned she was pregnant, something Harry was really grateful for, since he felt guilty leaving Ginny behind, alone with the kids in her situation, almost for the entire day when he was at the Ministry.
Teddy had confirmed medically what they already knew, that Ginny was pregnant, something the entire Potter-Weasley family soon found out, to Ginny's great dismay. She just seemed to hate it every time someone congratulated her and Harry could understand why. She didn't want to have a reason to be happy with her son missing.
As Harry sat at the balcony late at night looking at the dark blue summer sky above him, he could only think of how different things would have been if it wasn't for Apostollo. They'd been on their holydays, together and they would all be thrilled just as he was in the beginning for the arrival of a new person in their family. Now...now he still wanted the baby, but it was hard to be excited, they weren't together and he spend all of his day in the Ministry. Now one of his kids was missing.
Harry closed his eyes and the last words his son had said to him came back to haunt him once more. He could still hear his outraged voice telling him he hated him, he could still see his angry face looking at him indignantly and instead of himself he kept thinking that yelling at each other may be the last thing they did together. But every time a thought like that was forming in his head, he pushed it away. No, James would be okay. James wouldn't...die. He had to come back and Harry had to find him and they had to fix things between them. It wasn't always like this; there was a time he was really close to James.

*Flashback starts*
Harry could still remember the day of his son's tenth birthday. Teddy had agreed to take him along to a summer party he had been invited. It hadn't gone well. James had came back an hour later with a fat lip, a broken nose and a bruised eye. Ginny had gone to sleep to James' great luck but Harry had been awake waiting for him.
"You're ten years old and you're fighting with other kids! What is going to happen when you get your own wand?" Harry had asked him as he cleaned the blood from his nose.
"It wasn't my fault", the boy had responded. "And this hurts".
"If you didn't want it to hurt you shouldn't have fought with the other kids in the first place! What am I going to do with you, Jamie?"
"I did it for you", the boy had murmured.
"What do you mean?" Harry had asked perplexed.
"Nothing".
"Jamie", Harry had said and his son had turned his face to the floor looking away from him.
"Those kids said...said..."
"What?"
"They said that 'cause you're famous and had an adventurous life soon you will be bored of us, of having a family and that you're gonna leave us".
Harry had looked at him stunned and then he had gotten angry.
"Who were the kids that said it?" he had asked his son outraged.
"Is it true?"
"What is?"
"You're gonna get bored of us? You're gonna leave?" James had asked still not looking at him.
"Leave? And go where?" Harry had said. "First of all, how could I ever get bored of you? Those kids wanted adventure? Tell them to try and have the three of you as kids! And then...I would never leave you, your mum, Al and Lil for anything in this world...I love you".
"You wouldn't?"
"No, I wouldn't...I promise", Harry had said and his son's face had brightened. Then he had looked up at him with a big smile on his face and then he had made a fist with his left hand and had placed it at his chest on the heart's place.
"Lion's promise?" he had said and Harry had laughed, sure that James had seen something like this in the TV Hermione's parents had given to their daughter. He had smiled and then mimicked his son's move still smiling.
"Lion's promise", he had nodded and they both had laughed really loud.
*Flashback ends*

"Harry?" Ron had come out to see where his friend was and found him sitting with eyes closed, smiling to himself. Harry opened his eyes, looked around and his smile faded as he came back to reality. Ron sat next to him. "What were you thinking?"
"James" Harry said briefly and Ron sighed.
"Harry...I want to help you and Ginny through this but I just don't know how", Ron said and Harry smiled at him.
"It's more than enough that you're here mate".
"Well, it's not like I could be anywhere else...I don't have a house" he said and Harry laughed. "It feels like it's a joke, doesn't it?"
"A very, very sick joke", Harry nodded.
"Harry!" Hermione came running from inside. "To the Ministry, quickly!"
