Exceptional love

Chapter28

The twins skidded to a halt at the exact spot where Harry disappeared into thin air after clearly being accosted by some unseen force.

"Shit!"

"Fuck! What do we do?" Agni whispered quickly, twisting around, studying everyone and everything within the alley. "He won't want us kicking up a fuss. We'll lose all the leads we've made the last few weeks if we bring in a load of Death Eaters. This part of the market will disappear. Those kids will disappear."

"We get the Dark Lord."

"He's going to kill us, bro. Belial was right in front of us!"

"We can't not tell him. It'll hurt more if we don't tell him... you go on and follow the lead Belial was going after. I'll go notify the Dark Lord." Rudra Apparated away before Agni could refuse to let him go and face Voldemort by himself.

He appeared at the Ministry, dispelled his glamours, and rushed inside. Quickly and easily making his way through security- he had clearance, after all- George raced to the Dark Lord's office. He knew the Dark Lord had a tracking charm on his husband, so he wasn't too worried they wouldn't find Harry. But he was still fearful for his friend and he was more than fearful for his and his brother's lives. They'd let Harry be taken right in front of them. But beyond that, he wouldn't hesitate to tell the Dark Lord. Whoever had taken Harry was clearly skilled to have completely blindsided them like that, and to have been able to get away before Harry could react.

He raced down the corridors, pushing people out of the way, ignoring their indignant shouts. Some saw him coming and were wise enough to move out of the way. Some were even wise enough to recognize who he was in regards to the Dark Lord and Belial. They got out of his way and watched with curiosity, wondering what had happened. He hardly paid them any attention and was soon bursting through the doors into the ante chamber of the Dark Lord's offices.

"Sir, you can't go in there!" The secretary cried when George headed straight for the inner office where the Dark Lord would be found. "Sir, he's in a meeting! It's very important! P-please," she whimpered, no doubt afraid for her life if she couldn't stop him from barging in.

George ignored her. She would be okay. He flung open the doors and stumbled into the very large room. The Dark Lord was sitting behind his desk. Three men sat facing him, while a dozen others stood back near the walls. Javier, the Spanish Minister, the German Minister, and surprisingly, the American Speaker were sitting at the desk.

The Dark Lord stood just as six of the unknown wizards against the wall lunged for George.

"Leave him," the Dark Lord ordered. "He is not a danger." He turned to George with narrowed eyes while the redhead pulled away from two of the wizards and brushed down his wrinkled robes, half glaring at them for attacking him without reason. Bloody yanks. "You had better have a good reason for this intrusion..." he noticed the green earring. "George."

George took a moment to mentally pout. Of course the Dark Lord would have figured it out eventually. Nothing gets by him. "Harry's been abducted! Right off the street! Something, someone grabbed him and they just disappeared into thin air! No Apparition!"

Everyone backed up a step when the Dark Lord's eyes widened and bled from hazel to a dark blood red. Cold fury washed through the room. After a long silent minute, there was a rustle of robes and then the Dark Lord had vanished as well. Tension released, George collapsed to his knees. He then groaned and flopped onto his back and whimpered.

Javier was soon kneeling over him and Rafael's face appeared too. He'd been one of the wizards to be standing back. "Are you alright?"

George groaned. "He's going to kill me when he gets back. What do you think?"
