Wow, so when I first posted this, my prologue was a complete mess, very confusing and chop full of errors. I hope that this time around it'll get a bit better, since this is my second go at writing it.
"Mr. Fudge," Lila said as she burst into the Headmaster's office, her cerulean eyes wide with anticipation, "Could I speak with you in private?"
The man turned to face her with an incredulous expression; it was obvious to the seventh year Hufflepuff that Cornelius Fudge wondered with arrogance what a student could possibly have to tell him, so important, that she would request his presence alone. Lila resisted the urge to sneer at this.
Fudge waved a beefy hand in her direction, "Why do you have to speak to me alone?" he asked, a slight chuckle gnawingat the edge of his words.
Lila grunted in irritation, "It's a life or death situation, Corneli- Mr. Fudge," she said, mentally cursing herself for slipping up, "I might never have another chance to tell you," she said, to his intrigued expression.
Dumbledore looked at the exchange with knowing eyes, "Go on Cornelius, I believe your Aurors are perfectly capable of keeping me here while Dolores retrieves young Mister Potter," the professor said, pointing towards a room to the edge of the office, "My store rooms are through there, you may speak for as long as needed."
Fudge glared at Dumbledore, an unspoken hatred radiating off of the man's emerald cloak. With a sideways glance in Lila's direction, they approached the storerooms quickly; Lila was forced to go first, no doubt an attempt to check for potential traps.
When the two were safely inside the store rooms, Lila shut the door, "Cornelius, Albus isn't against you, he would never do that, you have to understand," she began, running her hands through her dirty blonde hair in distress.
Cornelius Fudge glared at Lila in response, "Do not, disrespect me child, you know nothing on this matter, nor do you personally know myself or Albus Dumbledore," he said grumpily, his hazel eyes nearly popping out of his head.
Lila grimaced in frustration, before grabbing the Minister's face and turning it to look at her, "I know you, Cornelius, and despite what it may seem, you know me too."
The Minister of Magic ripped away from Lila's clutches, a fearful look in his eyes, "N-n-no," he stammered, backing up into a tray of potions and knocking them to the floor in a shattered mess, "I will not be fooled by Albus Dumbledore's tricks!"
With a strong arm, Cornelius Fudge pushed Lila, knocking her to the floor in a fit of rage. Lila frowned as she fell, and let out a whimper as her head hit the floor and everything went black.
