Everybody just stood there in shock not a clue in the world of what to do. 4 children from the future gone. No evidence anywhere as to where they might be. The past Weasleys turned hurriedly and rushed out of the room to search the rest of house. Rose went to stop them and demand they search the room but Scorpious thinking quickly looked at her as if to say 'just in case...' she nodded reluctantly thinking it through and as she motioned for her cousins to search the room she started to panic. Her little brother, her only sibling, MISSING. She was supposed to take care of Hugo and be his older sister but she hadn't been there for him and now he was gone. Her parents were gonna kill her heck she might just jump off a cliff herself! She was pained thinking of every possible way that this was her fault and slowly she was convincing herself that it was completely and utterly her and only her fault. She let out a strangled sob as she searched behind the couch her hands shaking then gasped when she saw a glint of silver. Everybodies attention immediately went to her and as they opened her mouth she put up a finger to quite them. She wasn't sure why she just had a compelling feeling that this was important and her being Ron and Hermione's daughter, she sorta had a instinct to make it as dramatic as possible and she did it without even trying. I mean silver isn't alive, being loud won't SCARE it. She slowly bent down and saw it. A silver hoop earring that she knew all too well who's it was. She remembered going and buying it with her at Target it had been a most eventful shopping trip, having been kicked out and she let her face break into a small smile through the tears she didn't even realize were streaming down her face. Delicately picking up the earring she raised it triumphantly. Cedric let out a shaky breath.

"Alice."

that's all he said it was barely a whisper. So quiet that it almost couldn't be heard but the atmosphere of the room was so frozen that it almost sounded like he had yelled his sisters name in vain.

Everybody came back to their senses just as the people of the past walked in delivering news that they hadn't found anything. Wasting no time telling them what they had found, Tonks rushed out of the room to send a patronus to the rest of the order as the harshness of the matter finally hit the future generation. James, Alice, Hugo, and Lilly were gone. Without a trace 2, 12 year olds and 2, 7 year olds go missing into thin air. Nonetheless the kids are their cousins and siblings, god what are we gonna do. Everybody broke into groups the future generation parting into small parties to comfort each other and the past children who weren't allowed in the order meeting anyways standing awkwardly in the doorway. Deciding that information was what their future children in that moment the past kids went to do what they always do when there's a meeting. Listen in. As they walked out of the room they bumped into Remus who looked at them questioningly as the past children looked at each other wide eyed. Remus nodded curtly in understanding of what they were trying to do and why, and walked into the room.

"Do any of you have a different way of contact with your parents? I-I know you were using L-Lilly's locket but I'm not sure if it'll still be here..."

Remus asked gently. Stuttering as he mentioned his best friends youngest missing grandchild's name. Albus looked up.

"Lilly takes it off at night and anyways... it broke when mum tried to strangle James through the locket and time and space."

He said looking absolutely exhausted and his eyes glossy with unshed tears. Laying his head on Scorp's shoulder, Albus took a shaky breath and closed his eyes. Rose stood up and walked towards the exit.

"I'll go get it."

She said nodding at Remus as he stepped aside and offered a comforting smile which she returned gratefully. As she entered the room Grandma Molly had gave to them that night she looked over at Lilly's side table and sure enough the locket was there. Grabbing it quickly she walked back to the room where her cousins were. Remus seeing that she was back and clearly feeling the tension in a weak stab at humor said,
