"We need to lead Dad here." I mumbled and Mason frowned.

"How do you manage that?" He mumbled, "We don't even know where they are. They've probably left the bookstore already."

"First, we need to figure out where we are." Candice started looking around in the darkness.

"I know." Dominique nodded and searched for her wand, it wasn't on her obviously but shrugged and joined her hands in a cup in front of her.

"What's this?" Mason asked.

"Shh." She mumbled, "Lumos..." A ball lightly glowed out of the sparks flowing in the lines of her palms and floated higher, leaving her skin.

"I know that too but..."

Mason gasped.

"Underage magic." He smirked.

"No." Candice slumped, "She can't be tracked since she isn't using her wand." The ball of light grew bigger and released blue butterflies. It showed us a dark ceiling and the butterflies flew around.

"James..." We heard a voice and it was Aria.

"Hey, you okay?"

"So... it was a nightmare." She blinked awake as I quickly sat on a knee beside her chair.

"Yeah." I chewed on my lip and she was still staring at my face, making me nervous.

"I thought you were dead." She almost mouthed the words.

"Sorry to give you a scare." I winked and she looked at everyone, relaxing at the alive faces.

"How'd you die?" Candice asked.

"Dad was running with the sword and I stopped a couple of death-eaters from getting him." She stood, looking up. The room was a little brighter and I squinted, trying to make sense of the place. Books... everywhere, but it wasn't the basement of the bookstore. So where was this? Where were we?

"Where do you think we are?"Candice looked around and pulled out a large red book on which a butterfly sat.

"No title. Empty pages. Like a draft book, waiting to be printed..." Candice mumbled and paused, "This is the rumored subbasement in Flourish and Blotts! They said that there is a basement in Flourish that is used to store draft books. The authors print their drafts in books here before being marketed in the above store. How about that?" She scoffed.

"Hmm. That's better than nothing." I shrugged and couldn't help but tap Albus' head. Stop crying, doofus. We're working on it. Teddy was crying too and so were Jason and Scorpius.

"This is excruciating." Rose touched Scorpius' face, "Watching them suffer like this."

"Guys, I don't think..." Candice started when a creak sounded through the echoes of the room. A bright light hit the room through the door opening across the ceiling. In the light, we saw a ladder coming down from the opening and we braced.

"Stand behind." I was the oldest out of them and even though that was the matter, I knew a stun without a wand, "Protego Totalum." I whispered and the shield came between us and the lightened end of the room. Legs showed as the person crawled down and then immediately another, followed by another till the middle one raised a wand and showed their faces. I released a breath of relief.

"Dad..." I sighed. Mum grinned next to him with Uncle Ed behind them.

"So... they're sleeping." Ginny repeated what Aria had said. We were sitting in the Mungo's ward, while the four left slept on four beds. Bill and Fleur had rushed in as well for Dominique after Victoire informed them and now we all gathered in the cramped room, along with Eddie and Louis.
