Chapter 1 - Missing
Malfoy Twins Missing!
By: Rita Skeeter - Junior Journalist
Readers, it is with great sadness that I bring you the terrible news that 3 months after the birth of Draco and Hyperion Malfoy, the twins have gone missing from their nursery in Malfoy Manor. When asked to comment Narcissa Malfoy nee Black said, “I only want my babies home, I do not care who has taken them, I will not press charges, but please, just bring them home.”
Lucius Malfoy has offered a reward for any information….
Malfoy Heir Draco Malfoy and Twin Hyperion Located!
By Rita Skeeter - Junior Journalist
Dear Readers, we have been informed of joyous news, if you have been following this heartbreaking tale of every parent's worst nightmare (if not see page 3 for the complete story) the you will be happy to know that the Malfoy twins have been located safe and sound by one of their God-fathers, a Mr. Tom Riddle.
The Malfoy family had this to say.
“We are greatly relieved by the return of our children. Draco has been recovering quickly and seems to overcome the ordeal with little to no side effects. Hyperion is recovering as well, however the cold English air has caused some lung issues, he will be going to stay with some of our family in France to recover.”
While we may never know who took the twins, we do know they were located in an orphanage in South London.
However the question still remains, who stole the Malfoy children, and why? Was it a mad man? Someone who perhaps believes the rumors of a Dark Lord…..

Narcissa didn't turn as she heard her husband enter the nursery, she didn’t flinch when he lightly placed his hand on her shoulder, she could only stare at the empty bassinet that had one held her Hyperion.
Draco was every bit the Malfoy Heir, with his blonde hair and blue eyes, but Hyperion had been a Black through and through, his hair was black, it had stood at all angles from the moment he had been born, a scant 5 minutes after his brother, his eyes had been blue but over the last month they had begun to turn the same stunning green of her grandfather, he had his fathers nose and her cheek bones, he would have been a beauty to behold. Will be, he will be a beauty to behold. She thought fiercely.
Draco was now sleeping uneasily in her arms, his tiny left hand moved constantly. She remembered every scan, and in every single scan, every magical picture, that tiny left hand had been held tightly in Hyperions’, as if nothing else in the world could touch them as long as they held on, but here she stood, Draco in her arms, held tight against her chest, that tiny left hand constantly looking for the hand that was supposed to be there, and she thought she could hear his heart break when he couldn’t find it, they were never meant to be apart, they belonged together, two sides of a single coin.
She leaned back against her husband, as his arms came up around her, and tried to find comfort in the fact that they had Draco back at least.
“Are we doing the right thing Luc? Telling everyone we found them both?” she asked.
“Tom seems to think so, my love.” he replied, but she could hear the strain in his voice, he wasn’t handling this any better than she was. “It’s supposed to be a trap, the second anyone says otherwise, they have to prove how they know.” he sighed into her hair.
“We will find him.” A deep voice from the doorway, Tom stood there, pain written across his face, Severus stood beside him, his stoic features set into stone, the man never seemed to smile, but the day she had asked him to be Draco’s godfather, he had smiled so wide she had feared his face would split.
Tom stepped forward and gripped the top of Narcissa’s arms. “We will find him, Narcissa, I do not care if it takes the rest of my life, you will hold your son in your arms again. Say it.”
She took a deep breath and looked down at her son, “We will find him. We will never stop.” she promised him.
