Chapter Four, Realisations

Arthur woke up with a start as he looked around his work shed wondering why he was on the floor when all his memories came racing back to him so suddenly it took s bit of time to recognise and sort through them. He froze as his mind finally caught up with what his memories had been trying to tell him. The wards coming down. Him racing towards the shed door to protect Artemis and Teddy before everything went black as he slipped into unconsciousness. Jumping to his feet despite his complaining muscles Arthur prayed that Dobby had been able to get them out as he raced for the house calling for Dobby as he reached the back door. "Dobby! Dobby!" Arthur shouted. There was a loud crack beside him as a very upset Dobby appeared next to him.

"Master Arthur called." Dobby sniffled. Arthur's heart plummeted as he caught sight of the large tears streaming from the round green eyes. "Dobby where is Artemis and Teddy?" He asked fearfully.
"Master Teddy is still in his bed though he's crying for Mistress Artemis but she is not here, she was taken. I felt the wards fall and was rushing to put new ones up but everything went black. I don't know what happened to Mistress I'm sorry. Dobby is a bad elf." Dobby cried as he started head butting the door.

"Dobby! Dobby stop!" Arthur ordered. "Your not a bad elf I too felt the wards drop and was rushing to Artemis and Teddy when everything went black. Do not blame yourself for it is not your fault. Could you fetch Teddy for me he's no doubt frightened and I'll have to text everyone to get here as soon as possible - I'm thankful that Artemis taught me how to use this- when everyone is here we'll figure out a way to get Artemis back don't worry." Arthur assured him as they entered the kitchen. He watched as Dobby popped away before collapsing into the nearest chair as he tried to hold off his own fear as it was the time to plan not the time to panic.

"Thank you Dobby." said Arthur as Teddy was placed in his arms. "Shhh it's alright Teddy we'll get your mummy back don't you worry." Arthur said soothingly as he gently rocked the toddler in his arms as he sent a text to everyone letting them know what had happened while he waited for Dobby to bring Teddy's bottle.

(At the school, Jasper's P.O.V.:)

I was so bored as I looked around the lunch hall, my brothers and sisters and Fred and George sitting at the same table as me. I've had this bad feeling all day that something was going to happen and it seemed to have intensified as it  drew closer to twelve. I knew I wasn't being paranoid like Edward kept saying as Draco, Fred and George had all confessed to feeling the same way as well a point that was proven as they sat quietly playing with their food and not their usual joking selves.

Out of the corner of my eye I saw Alice freeze signalling she was having a vision but I didn't take much notice until I felt her anger and sadness racing through her. "Alice what is it?" I hissed at her so only those at our table would hear. What froze me to the spot was the hesitant look she gave me and I knew something had happened to Arte. "Alice! What is it?!" I growled more forcefully at her.
"It's Arte. They've taken her Jazz, those vampires we could smell near her house. They've taken her, they work for Dumbledore. He sent them some type of stone that took down the wards while the other one; Victoria her name is sent everyone to sleep so they could easily take Arte." Alice said brokenly.

"Where have they taken our sister?" Fred and George asked. "Is our dad and Teddy alright?"
"Arthur, Teddy and Dobby are all fine they just went in for Artemis. They're in  a broken down warehouse on the outskirts of town." Alice told them as she quickly sent a text off to everyone after they'd all read the message from Arthur. I jumped quickly to my feet startling those around us but I didn't care, all I cared about was getting to my mate as soon as possible before they did anything to her. "Jasper wait, we're meeting Carlisle, Sirius, Lucius and Severus in the forest just before the warehouse so they can cover our scent. Andy and Esme are staying at the house with Arthur and Teddy.

We need to think this over Jazz. We've never dealt with wizards before and you know what Sirius said Dumbledore will be expecting us to go and will have spells ready to kill us that's why we have to meet up with them first. How do you think Arte will feel if you went rushing in to save her only to die in front of her. I can't see everything Jazz. There are different parts to the vision; one where we can get her out and kill all in the warehouse and there are two others. The second vision I had was you rushing in and dying and the other one...." Alice trailed off but we all knew what she wasn't willing to say, it was of Artemis dying and I would not let that happen.

"Alright Alice what do we do?" I sighed clenching my hands into fists.
"Well......"

"Well, well, well. Looks like I've finally caught you after all my dear girl." Dumbledore grinned running a finger down Artemis's cheek. Artemis moved away from him as much as she could with having being bound to a chair. "What do you want?" She snarled at him.
"Now is there any need for such hostility. I only wish to show you your place as is the natural with a creature like you." Dumbledore placated, a false smile spread across his face making him look more creepy than he already was.

"Like I believe that," Artemis snarled. "Your wish is to get rid of those who are more powerful than you and to get rid of those who oppose you."
"Clever girl!" Dumbledore praised but he had an odd look on his face. "But do you see my problem? You know too much; and we can't have that I had hoped you would stop this silliness and go back to Ronald, but I can see that will never happen. Good bye Artemis, if you somehow survive this night be warned your child won't." With that he left the room only for two vampires to slowly enter the room through another door.
