What is it, Nym?

Chapter 18

The bracelet is something BunnyButt gave me for my birthday and I thought it would be perfect here. It's handmade, and was the perfect thing for the twins.

I looked at Nym, who was staring at the cots. The blankets were gone, and the room was a mess.

"How the Hell did he get in?!"

Nym freaking out made me up at her. Her hair was bright red, which didn't surprise me. She was right, about that. She had so many charms on the place, particularly the nursery, it didn't make sense. Although, he knew her very well, so he would know what she would've used.

"He knows you. He knows what you would've used."

She looked up at me, as I ran my hand through my hair.

"Yeah. I gotta call Kingsley, he can make sure the Ministry looks for him."

A pop behind us, startled us. We turned to see Kingsley, Harry, and Draco. The charms she had used, alerted them to anything wrong. They were delayed............. Weird.

"Hermione? Tonks? What's ............. Where are the twins?!"

They had spotted the empty cots and Harry asked what the 5 of us were thinking.

"I woke up, noticing the time. I thought it was weird they hadn't woke up, and couldn't hear crying. I was getting up, when Tonks woke up. We walked in, and found this. How the Hell did he get in?!"

They just looked at me. Draco knew exactly what had happened. And spoke, reminding me of something that had happened on Tuesday.

"Where they wearing what I gave you for them?"

FLASHBACK

"Hey, I got them something."

We looked at Draco, who had Hope on his knees. He was playing with her, and she had a grip on his finger. Harry had Natalia, who was watching him.

"What?"

Tonks looked curious. He reached into his pocket, taking out 2 bracelets. It was black, with rope surrounding a symbol, similar to a snake. I looked up at him, frowning. I knew he was once a Slytherin, and wondering if it was about that.

"It's not what you think. It's charmed. It'll grow with them. It'll keep them safe, and if anything does happen you can track them."

I nodded, we hadn't taken them off the twins since he'd given them to us. They seemed to want to pull them off, but the charm he put on them when he noticed that stopped it. The fact it would get bigger as they aged, meant he'd done his research. He knew someone who dealt in protective charms and badgered her for a week to find the perfect one. I think Emma was about ready to murder him by the time she told him about the bracelets.

"Yeah. You put that charm on them. They can't be removed."

He nodded, and ran his hand through his blonde hair. Harry tugged him closer, wrapping his arm around him.

"Well, try that. It should work."

Why hadn't I thought of that?

Well, I was panicking. My girls were gone, and I wanted to find them and make Remus pay. If I got to him, before Nym, which didn't seem likely.

Nym ran into our room, and I noticed how we were all dressed. Nym and I were in our pyjama's and the guys were in grey bottoms. Nym ran back in, muttering about something. I think I heard, 'slow and painful,' no need to ask what she was thinking about.

She used the spell to track them, and it seemed they weren't exactly close.

"Great ... Just great."

Kingsley put his hand on her shoulder, and she looked up at him.

"You're an Auror. Think. What would his next move be? You know him. Think."

She ran her hand through her red hair, and I noticed her green eyes had turned brown. So much for controlling that.

"Oh crap ........... What if he-"

"He won't Tonks. That would be to messy. You know that has a worse effect on girls. He wouldn't do that to them."

I looked at Nym and Kingsley confused. Draco was in the middle of a panic attack, and Harry was talking him through it.

Kingsley looked at me.

"She was afraid he'd bite them. But, he wouldn't. Worse effect on girls. He wouldn't do that. He may be a creep, but not that."

He shook his head. And I walked over to Harry, who had his arms around Draco. He looked at me, over Draco's shoulders.

"Draco? The bracelets worked. We have somewhere to look now."

He didn't respond, but I noticed Harry smile.

"He said he wants to go. And something I'm not about to repeat about Remus."

I shook my head. He got like that when he had them, and Harry was the only one who could talk him through them.

The others went back to their apartments, got changed and got back within minutes and we left. Nym took my hand, and I tugged on her arm, making her stop. The others continued, giving us a minute.

"Are you to go? It's only been a-"

"I'm going to find our girls. I'm fine, baby. Come on."

We joined the others, and a few seconds later found ourselves outside a large house. I hadn't expected it.

Nym caught me, looking at me.

"Sorry, I should've warned you. We can do that because of the charm attached to the bracelets. It doesn't matter that we've never been here. The location is all you need."

I looked at her, leaning against her. I hated doing that. I stood up, looking at the large manor house in front of her.

"OK. Come on."
