Third person POV
Although Ron and Harry believed that Ginny and Hermione were asleep, they were still awake listening to every word they said, and planning their own way to get their children back safe and sound. As much as they wanted to, they feared telling the men would cause many more deaths and pain then it would if they took matters in their own hands. once they heard and were certain that Ron and Harry were watching a hockey game, they agreed on their own plan. After finalizing their plan and setting the date on which they would get their children back, they cried themselves to sleep.
Harry's POV
"Oh! That must've hurt!" We both exclaimed seeing the poor hockey player slam into the wall and then fall face first on the ice. I couldn't watch this game even if I wanted to, my thoughts were beyond distracting to the point where I couldn't stop thinking about Lily, she may be very clever, but to try and get 4 people out of Hogwarts and save Hogwarts from what I heard was Voldemort, she's only 9, she shouldn't be thinking of such things. Hugo's a strong young man, but how can he be Lily's only protection, especially when neither know of spells, how could I rely on him to keep my daughter safe. Not to mention my two boys and Rose who were stuck in Hogwarts, powerless against someon-no something as evil and malicious as Voldemort. I can't stand to have my family torn apart from the same creature who tore apart my previous. I am deeply concerned for Ginny, but I can tell that Ron was having a harder time handling the situation than I was. He didn't say anything which was irregular for him, he seemed to be looking everywhere but at the tv, he played with his hands constantly twisting and shaking them, he buried his face in his hands and tapped his foot impatiently, and most concerning of all, he would literally stand up and check up on Hermione and just watch her for a while every minute and come back. He tried to hide it but his actions were making me more and more nervous. Before he stood up again to walk around or check on Hermione, I stopped him to try and talk some sense into him.
"Ok, Ron, Ron please don't get up again, you're freaking me out." He turned toward me and I saw all the lines of worry on his forehead.
"I can't, I keep thinking they will take her too, they're taking them one by one, how are you handling this? I can't think of anything other than Rose & Hugo and them taking Hermione." He said quickly, then took a deep breath and continued,"I can't, what if they take her too?" With that, he got up again and headed toward the room, this time to kiss her on the forehead so, then he took his jacket, his keys and his wallet.
"I'm going to handle this the muggle way, let's go drink" My eyes widened when he opened the door and actually left this time, I jogged after him not knowing which way to go but finally deciding that Ron was the craziest of the three. I left the tv on so that if they were awake they wouldn't think we left and panic, and I locked the door tight, using all three locks. I felt extremely awkward going to a bar, with Ron, with both our children missing, and wives asleep in danger, but if anyone would do anything extremely stupid, it would be Ron. I sat quietly at his side as he drank shot after shot until he couldn't even sit down with out falling backwards or on the side or forward. I wrapped one of his arms around my shoulders and tried to get him to leave before our wives find out we left and Ron do something really stupid. He pushed me away.
"I'm fine! I don't feel better yet! Why won't this work?" He shouted in frustration his voice coming out slow and slurred. Now he was really really scaring me.
"Yeah, ok, that's enough for today, let's go" He tried to push me away but didn't have the energy/control, so he just collapsed. Oh god, Hermione will kill us. I finally managed to throw him in the car with the help of the bartender, drive home, and then lie him down on the couch in the house (I drove home). Unfortunately when I got there, it was the exact moment when Hermione had woken up to get water and saw us. We were screwed.

I'm really sorry I haven't updated in so long, I was really busy with homework and stuff, and there's a problem with my phone, it keep restarting and restarting while it's restarting until it dies. Grrr, it's really messed up, but I'll try to update the next chapter sooner.

Oooo, Ron is in trouble! I don't know, I just felt like making Ron appear how he was feeling, and drinking to solve things which is what most people do these days. This was kind of a boring chapter, but I really wanted to show the 'other' (mad, freaking out) side of all the characters. What will Hermione do? Do you think Hugo will bring Lily back? As always, all comments and votes are appreciated!
