Hello all. I'm sorry for the lack of update lately, but I've been so busy lately it's crazy. I've had work, driver's ed, school, and marching band just drowning me in work BUT hopefully after October I'll be updating a lot more!

And months later something did come. Though not everyone knew, something did happen. Something not as publicized as the attack on Gringotts was, not right away at least, but something all the more significant in figuring out who was terrorizing the wizarding world. On the way home for Christmas break, all of the Granger-Weasley children did not make it home safely.

Right from under their noses one of their own was taken, by who or to where they had no idea, making the situation all the more frightening. Hermione was in tears, Fred comforting her while talking quickly with Harry and Ron. Remus and Caddie were trying to listen in on what the four, Hermione contributing through her tears every so often, and comforting Charlie, who was also in tears. In the chaos of trying to get off of the platform, Mason was taken.

Charlie, who had been conversing with her friends at the time, had been ignoring Mason's attempt to get her attention, trying to appear too 'cool' to talk to a first year for her friends, now regretted that decision immensely. Maybe, just maybe, if she hadn't ignored him, if she had turned around to see what he wanted, she could have seen who took him, even stopped him perhaps.

Remus was, on some level, guilty as well as his younger sister. Just before boarding the train he had, doing his duties as prefect, scolded Mason for being in possession of Weasley's Wizard Wheezes products. Mason had argued with him on it and Remus threatened him with detention and telling their mother if he didn't get on the train that instant. Maybe if he hadn't scolded him he would have sat with the rest of his sibling and Remus could have kept a better eye on him.

"Is it possible he just wandered off with friends?" Ron asked. "Didn't Remus say they had fought before getting on the train? Maybe he didn't want to see Rem just yet so he went to say bye to his friends."

Remus shook his head. "He may have been angry at me, but he's not stupid enough to do something like that without telling one of us."

"But he was trying to get Charlie's attention, maybe when she kept ignoring him he just decided to go," Ron said uncertainly.

"Rem is right," Caddie said shaking her head. "Mas isn't a dumb kid, if Charlie was ignoring him and he was mad at Remus he would tell me he was going to say bye to his friends."

Ron sighed, "I know, I'm just trying not to think the worst of the situation."

"I'll go tell Kingsley and have him notify the Prophet so they can put the word out for people to look for Mason," Harry said hugging Hermione, Caddie, and Charlie good bye and shaking hands with Fred. "And we'll let you know if we find out anything."

"Yeah, and I'll let George and Percy know what happened," Ron said doing the same as Harry before they both apparated from the platform leaving the family alone.
