To the Moon and Back [Rose Weasley]

Prolonge Part 1

James POV

Dad left this morning in a hurry. He made me breakfast and then someone appeared in our fire, it still always scares me when I see someone do that. He raced upstairs to talk to mom and get his wand. He rushed back down and gave me a tight squeeze.

Then CRACK! He was gone.

I wobble out of my seat and up the stairs. I peak into Lily's room. It was a pinkish color with a toy bin. Of course none of the toys were in the bin. She was sitting on Mom's lap crying. Dad must of woken her up before he left. I stand there for a second before waddling into the room.

"C'on Lily, let's go play outside!" I say grabbing her arm.

"Hold it right there mister." mom said, stopping me in my tracks.

"Firstly, go get dressed. Secondly, how would you two feel about going over to the Weasley's?" she asked shifting Lily on her lap.

I looked at Lily and she looked at me. We both shrieked in excitement.

"I take that as a yes. I'll go owl Hermione." mom said moving Lily completely off her lap.

I follow her out of the room, "Mommy is Rose going to be there?" I ask.

"Yes sweetie, she will be," she said a sitting at her desk.

"Yaaaaayy!" I say running out and going into my room.

I hurry over to my dresser and pull out a shirt and a pair of pants. I quickly put them on. I ran back in to mom's room.

"When are we going?" I excitedly ask, bouncing on the balls of my feet.

"Once Hermione owls me back!" she tells me as she puts a jacket on, "Go put a jacket and some socks on, I'm going to get your sister dressed and fed."

I zoom back into my room and grab a pair of socks. They had gryffindor lions on them. I then go over to my closet and grab a pair of shoes.

I was sitting on the floor struggling with the laces when mom came back upstairs. She has Lily, who is now fully dressed and munching on a piece of toast, swung on her hip.

She came in and sat Lily on my bed, which was unmade and mess.

"Here, let me help you," she says walking over and bending down.

"So I'll show you how to tie this shoe," she says tapping my foot, "And then you can try to tie this one."

She explains how she ties the show and then has me try. I fail miserably the first few times but start to get the hang of it.

"Hermione sent an owl back to me," she said helping me off the floor, "You ready to go?"

I nod and she leads us down to our fire place.

"Mom can I do it myself this time?" I ask as she grabs the floo powder.

"Well I guess, but let's practice the pronunciation once before you go." she says.

"The Weasley's!" I say proudly.

"Good job, ok ok now give it a try!" she says handing me a handful of powder.

I step into the fire place and throw the powder down, "The Weasley's!"

The world spun for a moment but stop when I had arrived in the Weasley's living room. I step out of there fire place and was met with a bone crushing hug from Rose and her shouting "Siri".

I instantly wrap my arms round her in response.

"Did your Dad leave this morning?" I ask as she pulls away from the hug.

"Yea but I wasn't awake," she says as her mom walks in.

"Hi James!" she says walking over to greet me.

"My mom should be right behind me," I say looking back at the fire place.

"Mom, can we build a blanket fort?" Rose asked pulling me towards the stairs.

"Yes but make sure you guys include Lily." She said going towards the kitchen.

No POV

"James went up to Roses room and said to tell you to join them." I tell Lily when her mom sets her down.

Lily makes a break for the stairs and is gone within a matter of seconds.

"So Ron left to?" Ellie says walking into the kitchen and taking a seat at the bar.

"Yea, in a rush too!" Hermione says sipping on some tea she made.

"So did Harry. I swear there job scares the shit out of me," Ellie says accepting the mug of tea from Hermione.

"No swear zone," Hermione jokes.

"What are you 12?" she says sarcastically lifting an eyebrow.

CRACK!

"Ronald! What have I told you about app-," she was cut off.

"Ellie, you're here! Has Harry contacted you? He- he-," Ron said frantically.

"He what Ron?" Elle asked uneasily.

"We were in Russia building a task force to investigate an alleged conspiracy against the French Minister of Magic and we were ambushed.

We fought them off well and captured most of them. W-when they retreated we rounded up the people left behind. Harry said he was going to go back to the ministry and l-let them know what happened. When he turned his back one of the prisoners got lose, grabbed him, and apparated away," he panted.

Ellie's mouth fell open. He was dead, were the only words ringing through her head. Hermione came over and pulled her into a hug.

"Do you know where he is?" she asked him as Ellie began to shake.

"No, but every Auror is working on it, I am to but I thought I should tell you guys," he said coming over to gently rub Ellie's arm and gave Hermione a quick kiss, "I'll be back soon," and then CRACK! he was gone.

Hermione sat Ellie down on the couch and comforted her as she cried. She could hear the kids upstairs laughing.

"What if he is gone?" she finally said after a long moment.

"Don't think like that Ellie," the girl said as she reached over to rub Ellie's arm again.

"How am I supposed to do this if he's gone. He's always been better at it. The kids listen to him better. They love him more." she said looking toward the stairs.

"Oh Ellie, don't say that. You know Harry would hate to hear you say that." she said pulling her in for another hug.
