*after taking Mary home, she immediately sends a message to Ron: Meet me at my office. Important info you’ll want to know.*

*floos through Ashley's fireplace. Stands up awkwardly wiping off soot* That never does get easier. *looks up at her* Is Rosey okay?

Yes, Rose is fine. As is my daughter, thanks to Professor Castleton. This... well, this is about your other daughter.

*scrunches his face* I don't think I heard you correctly. Can you repeat that?

My... other daughter? *tears spring to his eyes* She... she... died after she was born.

I know that’s the public story. But when Mary came back, she told me she saw a baby in the house where they were keeping her. If Professor Castleton is correct, she was being kept in Theodore and Elizabeth Nott’s house. Their youngest child is eight. There’s no reason for them to have a baby in that house. I know it’s crazy, but...

*feels the colour drain from his face* What did she look like? What did they say? What makes you think it's our baby?

I don’t know what she looked like, Mary was the one who saw her and she’s only six. But she said she was sent in the back to play with a baby while Bertram talked to Theodore, and then Bertram took her. I guess I figure they didn’t want us looking there, for some reason. And weren’t the Notts the ones who kidnapped your wife while she was in labor?

*bows his head and starts to cry* I didn't believe Hermione... I should have been helping her look for her. I broke up our family. I really thought she was dead. I held a dead baby in my arms...

It’s not your fault. They tricked you. It’s what they do.

*wipes his tears with the back of his hands and stands up* I have to go find her... *starts pacing* No... I have to get Hermione first. I can't do this without her... and she'll never forgive me if I don't go to her. *goes back to the fireplace* Thank you, Ashley. Minister for Magic's Office! *drops the floo powder and vanishes*
