Chapter 121

November 19th

Atlas's POV

"Papa- I'm sorry, I can't calm down, I want him to come back" I sobbed into his chest. He nodded rubbing my back. "I can't do this- I can't do it" I shout trying so hard to calm myself.

"We're going to find him" he whispered crying himself. "Papa... I love him" I mumble getting a kiss on the head. "I-I need to go... I need to go looking again" I whisper fumbling out of his embrace.

He sits up staring at me before breaking down into his hands. I closed the door behind me and silently cried stumbling down the hall. Without thinking I just laid my head against the wall giving myself a break to cry.

Taking another deep breath I continue my walk but stop before making it to the door. My uncles and Dad were all on the couches. They stopped when they saw me and without thinking I joined dad on the couch laying my head against his shoulder.

He wrapped his arm around me lazily and I silently cried looking at them all. Blaise and Ron were close together Isla sleeping in Ron's lap. They both looked straight ahead while my eyes traveled to my boyfriend's parents who like me, hadn't gotten any good sleep.

"Is he okay to be here when we talk about this" my uncle looks at me wiping his eyes. My dad just nods rubbing my shoulder. "He'll be better helping us here anyways" he whispers as they all stay silent for a minute.

"We need to think who would do this?" Blaise groans as Ron rests his head on Blaise's shoulder. "Whoever did this, I'm going to fucking kill them!" George rubs his hands over his face groggily.

"Why would they do this! Who would want revenge on us... on Asher?" He cries as I look around the room for any sort of reaction. "Who would want revenge on us- who hates us that much" my dad chews on his lips running a hand through his hair.

"I can only think about Granger, my sister, and Kingsley, but they are still locked away, so Granger and her husband?" uncle Ron suggests.  "They would tell us if those people escaped or got out correct?" I speak up.

"I- they are supposed to..." Ron whispers while George and Ron stand from their spot. "Damn it they were supposed to tell us! They better have told us!" He shouts staring us down.

"I'm going to the ministry" Fred surprised us all looking at Blaise. "You still work there correct?" He asks cocking his head to the side. "Well, yes" he nods getting where this was going. "You'll take me now" his voice was harsh but weary.

"I needed a reason to be fired anyways" he huffs standing and kissing Ron's head. I stand too. "Let me come" I beg. The parents look at each other before nodding. "Blaise, Fred, George, me, and Atlas were all going, Ron please help Harry with the kids" my dad explains leading us all the floo.

"You tell Harry where we went" he quickly adds before Blaise goes into the floo first telling us where to go.

When we first appeared I made sure to stay close to my dad. I was technically an adult now, but I still felt safer with him around. I was in a new place and I knew nothing about anything here.

We were ushered to the back of a long line. There were 5 of them, and each one led to a bored, ministry worker. The files of practically every single thing behind them. "Blaise my best friend please tell me you can work some magic" my dad pleads. 

"We're about to get a bunch of pissed off people" he sighs before tugging us forward. "Use to it" dad grumbles as we cut in front getting tons of slurs and protests. I didn't care anymore. I wanted Asher back.
