Chapter 28:
Madeline was anxiously pacing back and forth in the Library of her home waiting for a response back from Severus to her summons. She hoped that the Auror who went to tell Severus that she needed to speak with him about a very important matter would let him know how vital it was that he come and see her right away.
I only hope it’s not too late, she thought. Oh, how could I have been so stupid! I let my cousin manipulate me into helping him with his madcap plan to kidnap Harry Potter who as my patient I should have protected. I don’t know what I was thinking when I agreed to go along with his scheme of using a poor innocent baby to achieve his goal. He blackmailed me and I let him. I just hope it’s not too late and Severus can do something to stop him from carrying it out. Merlin, I wouldn’t blame Severus for not coming. What must he think of me? I have to fix this and one way or another, whether Severus helps me or not, I will find a way to stop my cousin. I wouldn’t blame Severus not to trust me after all I’ve done but I can’t let this go any further.
There was a knock on the door and she ran to open it. Smiling in relief, when she saw Severus standing in front of her with the Auror guide next to him.
“Severus! I knew you would come.” Madeline greeted him gesturing him into the room with her hand. Then turning to the Auror, she asked, “Please. Would you give us a few minutes alone?”
He looked at Severus and upon seeing him nod agreed to leave them alone but told them he would be right outside in the hallway. Severus walked into the room and she shut the door behind him to give them privacy.
“Severus. Please sit down. I have so much to explain and very little time left before something horrible happens. I just hope it‘s not too late and you can help me.”
“Thank you, but no, I will remain standing.” Severus told her and walked up to a window then turned and faced her.
His face was blank showing no emotion but Madeline thought she detected anger in his beautiful onyx eyes. Severus hates me. I have to tell him everything and hope that he understands why I did it. I can only pray he finds it in his heart to forgive me. Either way, I am going to Azkaban and will lose my job at St. Mungo’s but it is what I deserve.
Walking up to him, she began to tell Severus everything. The plan Jonathan came up with to kidnap Harry by using one of his newborn babies and how he planned to take him to America but without the baby. She told him of how she helped her cousin achieve his goal by convincing everyone that the baby was stillborn. Explaining in detail, how she came up with the idea to use the same spell Medi-Witches used for terminating pregnancies on the body of Harry’s newborn son so as not to cause him anymore distress. It was the only way she could accomplish what her cousin wanted done.
“Jonathan took the baby to his hideout and is having his house elf, Mimsy, watch over the child. He’s out of control and obsessed to the point of madness with Harry. Severus, he plans on using the baby in order to get Harry to meet with him. Then once Harry does, he will force him into submission and both of them will go to America but without the baby. I am so sorry. I never intended for it to go this far. He blackmailed me and I let him. Please, you have to stop him before it’s too late. I will tell you where Jonathan is and how to gain access to his quarters but you have to be very careful. He is capable of doing anything and I don’t want further harm to come to the baby or Harry.”
Severus listened to everything Madeline told him. He wanted to question her further about the reason for the blackmail but had more urgent matters to take care of at the moment. Walking swiftly over to the mantle, Severus grabbed a handful of floo powder tossing it into the fireplace and saying “Malfoy Manor” then pulled Madeline along with him and they both disappeared in a flash of flames. Leaving behind a very confused Auror who had just run into the room upon hearing the commotion.

‘Malfoy Manor’
Lucius was still in his bedroom with Molly, Hermione and Dobby. He couldn’t believe what he was hearing and was ready to Avada Kedavra someone.
“You just let my husband walk out that door and didn’t try to stop him? What in the bloody hell is the matter with you?” he bellowed at the cowering Dobby.
“Lucius! Please stop it. This is not helping matters.” Molly tried to calm Lucius down even though she was just as upset.
“What do you want me to do? This, this, elf let my husband leave knowing the mental state his mind was in and you expect me to remain calm?” seethed Lucius.
Hermione was busy trying to figure out where Harry could have disappeared to while quietly observing the still silent Dobby. Suddenly, she walked over to him and kneeling down so that her face was close to his whispered gently.
“Dobby? We are not mad at you but just worried about Master Harry’s welfare. If you know anything, anything at all, you have to tell us. Please, Dobby, can you tell us what happened and do you know where he went? This is very important and Master Harry would want you to let us know.”
Dobby looked at her with his large sorrowful eyes that were filled with tears and cried, “Master Harry made me promise not to say anything.”
“Dobby. Master Harry could be in danger and not realize it. You have to tell us what you know. He would not want you to get into any trouble over this. Lucius is his husband and has the right to know where Master Harry went. Please Dobby for the sake of their children you have to help us find him.” Hermione pleaded.
Dobby whimpered looking back over at the cribs where Lucien and Belinda were still peacefully sleeping oblivious to all the loud voices in the room. Then standing as tall as his little frame would allow, he said, “Dobby will tell you everything he knows.”
Dobby told them how his Master Harry had received a letter by owl post earlier in the day but that he didn’t know who it was from or what was in it.
“After he read the letter, poor Master Harry just cried and then told Dobby that he would be leaving shortly for an important meeting. He told Dobby that Dobby was not to say anything to anyone and he expected me to take care of the babies until he returned. Before he went away, Master Harry told Dobby to leave him alone for a few moments with his little babies. That’s when you came into the room, Master Lucius sir. After you left, it was not long until Master Harry kissed his little babies goodbye and just disappeared. Oh, and Master Harry also gave Dobby this for safekeeping.” Dobby handed a stunned Lucius the emergency portkey disguised as an emerald stud that Harry wore in his left ear for protection.
“That’s all Dobby knows. Please you must help Master Harry. Dobby will never forgive himself should anything bad happens to his Master Harry. Oh, no, Dobby should be punished if Master Harry is harmed in any way. It’s all Dobby’s fault. I never should have let my Master Harry leave and now he in danger and all alone.”
“Thank you for telling us Dobby and don’t worry. You won’t be punished.” Hermione comforted the crying elf while giving Lucius a stern warning look.
They were interrupted when Severus came running into the room with a breathless Madeline right behind him.
“Lucius, where is Harry?” Severus demanded looking around and not seeing him turned with a worried look to face his friend. He had also noticed that Molly and Hermione as well as Dobby were all gathered together in the room.
“I don’t know Severus but that’s what we are trying to figure out.” replied Lucius.
“What the hell is she doing here?” He noticed Madeline standing in the room beside Severus and pulling out his wand got ready to curse her but was stopped when Severus stood between them.
“Lucius, no!” Severus held up his hand and told him, “Harry is in mortal peril. There may not be much time left so listen carefully all of you.” After Severus finished telling them what he knew, he motioned Madeline to come forward.
********************************************************************

Jonathan was standing on the balcony off his bedroom, deep in thought, when Mimsy popped into the room interrupting him.
“What is it, you confounding little elf? You better have a good reason for bothering me or else you’ll be severely punished.” warned Chambers.
“He has arrived sir.” Mimsy answered bowing to his master in submission.
“What did you say?” demanded Jonathan with a look of maniacal joy on his face.
Looking up into the hazel eyes, Mimsy told him again, “He has arrived sir. The young Master Harry Potter has finally arrived and is waiting downstairs to meet with you.”
“See to it that the little brat keeps quiet and show Harry up here.” He ordered. “We are not to be disturbed no matter what, is that understood?”
Seeing Mimsy nod his head in agreement, Jonathan said before he left, “Hurry up. I will be waiting for my guest to join me.”
