Lucius Malfoy paced back and forth in the clearing he had become all too familiar with since Voldemort's rise. The Dark Lord had summoned him here, however he was nowhere to be seen. "Why did he call me here." Lucius thought frantically. "Surely he can't know about." A sudden noise in the twisted, dark trees stopped him dead in his tracks and he looked up expectantly. A cloaked figure was moving towards him, it's robes rippling, though there was no wind. Though you couldn't see his face, the sudden chill the air had took told him that Voldemort was approaching. He sunk into a deep bow.

"Master." He mumbled.

"Lucius." Voldemort said, "I suppose you are curious as to why you have been summoned to me." Lucius stood upright.

"Yes master, I am inquisitive-" He was cut off.

"Lucius since I have risen my one goal in this lifetime has been to destroy the Potter boy. I shall not fail."

"My Lord, have you found a way."

"Do not interrupt me again Malfoy. I have news and if you do not deem responsible enough to deliver I shall send you back and call upon another."

Lucius was livid but kept his face expressionless.

"As I was saying I have achieved a way to hit the Potter boy where it shall do the most damage. And then while he is vulnerable we shall strike. I expect you have heard about Sirius Black and his connections with the boy."

Lucius nodded.

"I have recently received word of Black's whereabouts. I trust you'll ensure they find their way to that bumbling idiot Fudge." Voldemort continued.

"Nothing will hurt the Potter boy more than seeing his dear Godfather lose his soul to the Dementors. Make sure that Fudge receives this."

Voldemort waved his wand and a scroll materialized out of thin air.

"Take this, Malfoy. Do not disappoint me," he hissed.

Lucius nodded and took the scroll.

"Black will be caught by dawn, my lord."

Lucius Malfoy strutted up the steps to Fudge's office; his task in mind, and message in hand. He strolled past security without as much as a curt nod and walked into Fudge's office where the Minister was busy behind signing off some security breeches that had occurred in the Department of Mysteries.

"Minister I've some vital information to be delivered to you."

"Ah Lucius." Cornelius smiled

Cornelius smiled and Lucius handed him the scroll. Against his better judgment, he hadn't read the scroll beforehand and had no idea what it contained. He saw the Ministers face darken as he read.

-Minister.

I have recently spotted the convict, Sirius Black, in residence at one Remus Lupin's house. To protect the other residents of the area, I thought it would be best to inform you. I feel this is a matter the Ministry's Auror's should handle and therefore wish to remain anonymous to protect my family. Fondest Wishes...

"I see." The Minister mumbled and rolled the scroll back. "Thank you Lucius. I shall get right on this."

"I shall be going now, Minister. I trust you'll deal with this matter." Lucius nodded before turning and leaving the office, his cloak billowing out behind him.

Fudge tapped a small piece of glass on his desk, and his secretary's face shoed up.

"Send the top Auror's to Remus Lupin's residence immediately. It involves the capture of Sirius Black."

His secretary nodded and her face disappeared. The Minister could've shouted with glee. He would get the credit for catching the Magical World's number one convict. He smiled and continued signing off the security breeches.

Remus Lupin busied himself by making tea. Sirius Black and Mundungus Fletcher sat at his table discussing the Dark Lords return. Black had shown up the day after school had ended and Gus only a few minutes ago.

"I say that you ought to just keep focused on Harry, Sirius. You're still a wanted man and if you're caught trying to fight against the Death Eaters that'll be the end of you." Mundungus said, waving a half-eaten crumpet in the air.

However, the calm scene was quickly interrupted by a sudden banging on the door.

"Open up! D.M.L.I!"

Before Sirius could hide, the door was burst open and the kitchen was swarming with Aurors.

"Sirius Black, we have a warrant for you arrest. Come quietly and no one gets hurt"

The Auror nearest to him yelled. Remus and Mundungus stood up, however they were soon facing several wands pointed in their direction. "Stay seated! You are being charged with holding an escaped convict without notifying the proper authorities." The pair sat down again and watched helplessly as Sirius was bound.

"Wait!" Sirius shouted, before they disaperated. "They were c-confounded! T- they don't know!"

The Aurors nodded, and in a flash, they were gone.

Remus turned to Mundungus.

"We have to tell Dumbledore."
