Who: Lily, Sirius, Harry, Teddy, Severus(?)
What: As Heather so brilliantly put it, the thread of panicky house
When: Tonight ! Late at night
Where: starting at the Lily/Sirius/Remus abode
Rating: With Sirius' potty mouth and Lily's fretting? At least PG13 for language.
(
Lily was fretting. A lot )
He was nervous.
Harry really didn't like that. He hadn't been nervous about an investigation since his first year on the Auror force, and then he'd been untrained and unaware of what he might find in the field. He was relatively more secure in what he'd find now. He knew who had magic in town, he knew who was dangerous and not trustable without it.
And he knew these roads like someone had etched a map on the back of his brain.
The problem was it had never been anyone he cared about who was either in danger, or posing danger to others. He was too close to this, and that he knew from experience never ended well.
"Where we goin'?" Teddy mumbled, rubbing his cheek over Harry's shoulder as he yawned.
"Over to Lily's house."
"Oh."
Harry waited a few seconds until Teddy's breathing evened out, took a good last look around the room, and Apparated straight into Remus, Sirius and Lily's place.

At least...yes, that was Harry and Teddy. Not Remus. She normally would have been thrilled to see her son and Teddy. But right now, Lily was almost in complete panic mode. The I have to do something mode. And what was she going to do? Stay home with Teddy.
She only mildly resented that. Lily gave Harry a half-hearted worried smile.

"No one's said anything yet?" he asked in a whisper, straightening up and turning around.

"We will. Right?" He directed this last question at Sirius with a questioning stare.

Shocking, he knew.
"Never mind. So we've got absolutely no clue where to begin to--" Harry's eyes widened, with the freshly fallen snow on the ground, he wasn't sure how well this would work, but he had to get them to try. "How good are you at tracking people as Padfoot?"

"Then we've got a plan. Come on."
Harry started moving toward the front door and paused, doubled back, and planted a kiss to his mother's cheek. "I'm sorry."

Merlin, if she ever found the person who did this...

"We'll be back soon," he said to Lily. "With Remus."
Then he blinked, and when he opened his eyes again, he was Padfoot.

"Ready?"
