Chapter 127 (Atlas and Asher's POV)

December 31st

Atlas's POV

Today... the last day of the year. Was I really going to start the new year without my boyfriend and best friend? Were my uncles really going to start the year without their son.

"Eh!" Grayson was calling for someone running down the hall, he came into the common room where we were all having our meeting.  Papa came out a few seconds later with a sorry expression. "Sorry, the toddlers were moving rooms and he got out" he explains scooping the child up, Gray hugs tightly to our papa's neck.

He turns to leave, apologetic. "Harry come here" my dad calls for him. He looks down the hall in worry about leaving all the other kids but goes over to dad anyways. I scoot over for him but dad quickly pulls papa into his lap.

"Baby you don't need to be scared of me" he whispers and I look over at Fred and George who were half asleep on each other. The map was scribbled out everywhere. We were hopeless. Blaise and Ron were probably with the kids forcing them to do their homework.

Grayson was crawling from our parents to my lap as Dad kisses my Papas's cheek. "I'm sorry, I don't want to get in your way- please find him" he whispers as dad takes his hand. "Just please don't be scared of me" he continues, shaking. I held Gray's hands dancing him around clumsily.

There was a knock on the door and we all froze. George and Fred were up in a second and Herb ran faster than I have ever seen him run. I don't even know where he came from, but he zoomed straight to the door.

Papa gave dad one last kiss before standing and then taking Gray back. He bounced the baby on his hip as dad and I pressed up against the couch to see who was at the door.

Herb threw it open to be met by a scruffy older man, almost creepy looking in a way.  Fred and George stared at him, disappointed that he wasn't their son. He had a long beard and was scratching his elbow.

"Is Mr. Malfoy here?" His voice was gruff. The man had this pervy smile as my dad stood and walked in front of him. "And you are?" He asked crossing his arms. "I'm one of the guys you hired to find that boy of yours" he looks to Fred and George who quickly snap their heads back up.

"Well hurry up! Do you have something!" They shout hugging each other. "Oh erm... I was assigned to this club and there was a new boy I've been watching for the past week... red hair, pale, freckles... all that. He's real skinny" he nods tapping his chin to think about it all.

"His name tell me you got his name!" I shout running a hand through my hair. "Every time I tried to get to him, he was swept away by some other dudes and the other workers never let him stay out long" he grumbles, making me pace.

"Well, is Kingsley the club owner?" Fred asked biting his nail. "It looked like him but his name was changed- they all had code names" he throws his arms up as the rest of us listen to him anxiously. "D-did they pick their names?" George spoke up.

"I believe so" he nods while we look around waiting in anticipation. "Well, what is his!" Basically all of us shout. "Oh- sorry, his was Angel" he smiles, happy, that he remembered.

I choke on air before dropping to my knees. "It's him... it's him" I cry. The house went into chaos. "We have to take care of carriages! Everybody robes on now" Blaise was trying to direct things.

"Seren, baby, you stay home and help care of the kids" Papa coos kissing her head as he touched his wand double-checking.  I was crying but waiting at the door to leave. Emerald, Iris, Ivy, and me. The only kids allowed to go.

Every adult was going and Kiara was staying back to help with the younger ones. I gripped Papa's hand tightly as we made our way into the carriage. The silence was absolutely deadly.
