Jerry Russo was out of his mind. Justin had flat out told him that Alex was refusing to come home and that he was done trying to help her. She had been gone all night, hadn't been to summer-school, and he had no idea where his daughter was.
Justin couldn't really say why he wouldn't tell his father exactly where she was. But if he was being honest he would have said it was to get back at Alex. Fine, if she wanted to go and play superhero with her new Potter playmates, he was washing his hands of it. His conscience was clear. Okay, his conscience wasn't clear. It was eating away at him. But he ignored it anyway.
When Max didn't come home from summer-school that afternoon either, his mother began to wonder where all of her kids were. She had missed them at breakfast. She flounced into the Sub Station kitchen and found her husband.
"Jerry, where are all of the kids? And I don't remember seeing Alex this morning?" She backed off a few steps, slightly alarmed. Her husband looked ready to explode.
"I didn't want to worry you earlier today Teresa, but Alex didn't come home last night. She went out with Harry Potter and his girlfriend with Mason, and never came back."
Teresa tried to process the information... Potter ...Potter. Now she remembered. The famous British boy. Well, she'd only ever heard good things about him. Killing Evil Wizards sounded like a very good thing to her.
"Well, we should probably ground her for staying out overnight but..." Teresa trailed off. Her husband's face was grim.
"Teresa, listen to me. That Potter boy and his girlfriend are trouble. Death Eaters... are coming here... to look for them. They escaped from prison and want revenge. I sent Justin to get her back, but she just refused. She was even going to duel Justin."
Teresa rolled her eyes. A wizard duel with her kids usually amounted to someone being turned into a sandwich or something else stupid, which was then sorted out in the end. Well... except for when they had turned Max into Maxine. That situation had taken a while to resolve. She still got a chuckle from that one; Maxine had been too adorable for words.
"TERESA, Focus!" Jerry snapped his fingers. "For some reason Alex has got it into her head that she has to help Potter. But these Death Eaters are just killers. They don't come up with grandiosely lame schemes to control the Wizard World. They will just murder anyone who gets in their way."
Jerry couldn't understand why Teresa seemed so blasé. Didn't she understand the danger Alex was in? He began to turn purple. His wife spoke again.
"Look Jerry, whatever you think of your daughter, she is extremely resourceful. Besides, she's with Britain's most powerful wizard and Mason..."
"No she's not," Mason interjected, making the adult Russos jump. "Not any more. I've brought a few of her things by. Tell Alex I hope she and her new girlfriend have a nice time."
Teresa grabbed Mason's arm, and the anger that Jerry had been looking for in his wife took flame.
"What are you talking about Mason? Where's Alex? Where's my daughter?"
Mason didn't want to deal with this now. The row with Alex that morning had been bad enough. Now Mrs Russo was practically pulling his arm out of its socket.
"Didn't Max tell you? He was there this morning!"
"Do you see Max around here Mason?" Teresa waved her arm angrily around the empty sub shop. "You aren't leaving until you tell me everything young man."
Mason shrank back. The Russo women were not to be crossed. He sat down quietly and told Jerry and Teresa everything, including the row he'd had when he went back that morning. He was mortified as he told them about breaking up with their daughter... he couldn't bring himself to repeat the rude names that he'd called Alex. He had been a bloody sod and he knew it. Alcohol and Jealous Werewolves did NOT mix well.
Teresa was fuming even more than Jerry now.
"So you... you got my daughter drunk last night and left her to sleep it off by herself..."
"She WASN'T by herself though..."
"...You're her boyfriend Mason! Sure, I bet she's perfectly safe with Potter and his girlfriend. But we don't know them and you were the one we expected to look out for her."
Mason looked smaller than ever. "I know. I'm sorry Mr and Mrs Russo! I just got so jealous! Look, I know Alex doesn't deserve me alright. She made it clear. We're done for good this time."
"And Max? He's run off with them too then? Thanks a lot Mason!" She shot him the dirtiest look that he'd ever seen. "I... I can't look at you anymore, get out of my shop... NOW!"
Mason slunk out of the shop door, and Teresa threw up her hands. At least they knew everything now. But Jerry wasn't sure that Teresa was angry enough about the right parts of the story. He kept trying to get a word in but she wasn't having any of it.
"Look Jerry, she's a teenage girl, and she's almost 18, but she's also a very powerful and devious wizard with a "secret" good streak. So she's doing perfectly normal teenage things and making normal teenage mistakes — which she will be grounded for while we still can, but she's also taking charge of her own life. That's what she's supposed to be doing at her age. And even though I can't stand magic sometimes, I can see how accomplished she is, and I know that she can look after herself if she has to."
"But Mason, and Justin... They were supposed to look out for her. That's what really steams me up Jerry. If Alex runs off and does crazy things, I like knowing that I can rely on the men in her life to stick by her. Max is a good brother..." Teresa paused guiltily, not entirely certain that having Max would be particularly beneficial, "...I'm sure Alex will look after him," she concluded.
Teresa caught something moving out of the corner of her eye.
"JUSTIN? Oh it's you, Harper... Have you seen Justin?"
"SEEN Justin?" Harper — Alex's best friend — had a strained smirk on her face, "No, I just dragged him here after I made him tell me what a jerk he's been. Here, he's yours now!" And with a revolted look Harper pulled Justin into view, and shoved him into his parents.
"That's for leaving Alex you jerk! And you DON'T want to know what I'm going to do to Mason when I find him..." Harper gave Justin the crazy eye. "So tell them Justin, tell them how you're going to make this right!"
"I'm... I'm going to go and help Alex do whatever crazy stuff she's going to do," Justin said with an odd mixture of bitterness and apology, "and make sure she gets home safely."
"Good!" said Jerry, "But I need to see Alex myself, Justin. Take me to her now."
Justin sighed.
"Alright Dad... Harper?" Then he flashed them and they were gone.
~o0o~
The top of the Plaza Hotel had a big smouldering crater where the 20th floor should be, and emergency responders in helicopters were flying above the scene. Smoke stung Jerry's eyes. Harper screamed. Just across the charred debris Justin could make out two figures — a boy and a girl, both with flaming red hair.
Justin whipped out his wand, but he was too slow.
"Expelliarmus," the girl said, pointing her own wand at him. His wand flew out of his hand and she caught it smoothly. Justin cursed. He always forgot about other people having wands.
"Are... are you Death Eaters?" Stammered Justin.
"Are you bloody mad? Do we look like Death Eaters to you? So who are you lot then?" The red-haired girl gestured towards the cowering Harper and Jerry Russo. "What are you all doing here?"
"I... We're looking for my sister Alex. She was here last night with Harry Potter and his girlfriend."
"Harry Potter and Hermione Granger were definitely here then?" the girl asked sharply.
"Yes... With my sister, Alex, and now she's... gone!" Justin couldn't pretend the tears running down his sooty face were from the smoke anymore. He shouldn't have left Alex. This was all his fault.
The red haired girl's features softened.
"It's alright you know! They weren't here when this happened. I reckon whoever did this, did it just because they were angry at being too late or wanted to make a point." She tossed Justin his wand back. "My name is Ginny, and that's my brother George. We've come to find our friends Harry and Hermione before Dolohov, Rowle, and the Carrows do. If you want to find your sister we should work together."
Justin looked to his father and Harper. They both nodded vigorously.
"Of course Justin, say yes! And... get us out of here please!" said Jerry.
A short while later, after everyone had cleaned up at the Russo's apartment above the Sub Station, the two Weasleys and the Russos sat around a table in the sub-shop eating sandwiches and discussing the events.
Jerry put the news on the big-screen. Footage of the crater atop the Plaza Hotel filmed from helicopters was accompanied by a voice-over.
"At about 2:30 pm Eastern time an unexplained explosion rocked Manhattan when it took off the top floor of the Plaza Hotel today. We are being told that so far 7 bodies have been recovered, and 12 people are still unaccounted for. For more on this story we go to our own Elaine Gregory."
"Elaine, what can you tell us so far? Is this the work of Muslim Terrorists as some have suggested?"
"Nobody knows yet Michael. Fire Officials haven't even been able to determine the source of the explosion yet..."
Jerry turned the volume down and peered at the somber group.
"This is bad, very, very bad. See, what I was telling you Justin!? Killing is fun for these people."
