Chapter 2

Dumbledore was trying to find a way to get into the Malfoy manor. He could ask Severus but he was reluctant to let anyone know. All he had to do was get the children away from their families and separate them. Place them with Light families then they would look up to him. When the children grew up they would support his side of the war. He already had ideas for where they will go. He knew that he had to get everything right but who would help him. Then he got it. The rat.

Fawkes was watching the headmaster and he was also planning. Most people thought that he was bonded to the headmaster. He was tied to Dumbledore but not in the way most people thought. In fact no one knew but the Founding Four who had built the castle. Fawkes was bonded to the school. He had a small link to the headmaster of the school that allowed him to know where the headmaster was at. He also knew almost everything that went on in the castle. What he didn't know the hat knew. The hat would help him so began their planning.

Dumbledore was currently sitting in his office with Peter Pettigrew. "Peter, my boy, I need your help and you are the only one that can help. Will you help the light?"

Peter couldn't believe it. The great Albus Dumbledore needed him. Him. Peter squared his shoulders and said. "Yes Headmaster. I will not fail you. What is it you need me to do?"

Dumbledore looked at Peter before he spoke "I am trying to rescue as many Death Eater children as possible. These children are in danger of becoming Voldemorts new army. I want your help in getting these children. We can give them a good home. I know that Lily and James would love to have a child to look after."

Peter loved Lily and James. They were the first friends that he ever had. He knew that Lily was depressed with the news that she couldn't have children. If he could help Lily and James and some kids, well then he would be a hero. "Only if you promise that they get to raise one of the kids as their own." Peter was daydreaming of the second generation of Marauders. Peter snapped out of his daydreams when he started to wonder. "Headmaster, who are the children's parents sir?"

Dumbledore sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose "Three of them are Malfoy's and two are the Lestranges. Take out the two richest families heirs and it will cripple them. I know a way around the blood wards but when we do this it will need to be done in one go. All the children need to be together. Once they are in your hands you will bring them here."

Peter knew something was up. As an animagus rat he saw and heard a lot of things. What Dumbledore was saying made sense yet didn't. Shrugging his shoulder he asked "When do we do this and how do I get around the ward. Malfoy and the Lestranges have the best and most dangerous wards around their house."

"You are going to join Voldemort. You must remember that whatever you see is what they want you to see. Just join and then grab the kids. I have a safe house for you afterwards. Do Not Fail Me Pettigrew" Dumbledore stood and towered over Peter.

Peter gulped "J...Join Voldemort. How will I join they will ask why. What do I say?"

"Say that you want freedom from me. They we'll let you join. Now got to Severus and start a conversation that lets him think that you may have misgivings about me."

Peter left and knew that his friend's happiness depended on this mission. He would do anything to help the people that had been his friends when no one else would.

Peter followed through with his mission and was soon a new death eater. He attended the meetings. It was on his third meeting that the opportunity presented itself to him.

Most of the Death Eater meetings took place at different member's houses. Meetings never took place in the actual house. Most purebloods trusted no one near their family and would protect their family with whatever means necessary.

This meeting was being held in one of Malfoy's greenhouses. Currently said greenhouse was empty of all plants instead people in black robes stood about listening to Marvolo talk about their course of action. Everyone was happy they were winning the war and the end was in sight. While everyone exchanged information no one noticed the small rat that was sneaking away towards the manor. Peter made his way to the nursery. He didn't notice the house elf squeak then pop away.

Said elf popped into the greenhouse and yelled "Master, Master someone is being in the house. Theys being a rat sir. Master the babies." at these words chaos erupted. Everyone started to run to the manor. Lucius, Severus, Rodolphus and Marvolo were the first to reach the manor steps. Marvolo started to yell orders as he ran

"Keep Bella and Narcissa behinds. If you have an animagus form change and try to find out how they got in. Split in to two groups try to capture the person and watch out for the children." people started to divide as they ran while some turned in to animals. Several birds, large cats, and a few hounds began the search. Rabastan was holding onto a struggling Bella while Narcissa struggled in Goyles arms.

Marvolo, Lucius, Severus and Rodolphus were running down the hall that led to the nursery. Bursting the doors open they found Dobby attacking the head a person that had a hold of the children. The person threw Dobby who hit the wall with a sickening crunch. The man looked at Marvolo and said "They will never grow up to be Death Eaters. I'm doing the world a favor." The man pulled out a chocolate frog and was soon gone. They threw body binding curses to stop him but were too late. The last thing they heard was the children's screams was they were taken. Both fathers fell to the floor with tears on their face. Severus was a mask of anger.

Dobby opened his eyes and saw his master crying. He turned his head to check the hiding place. He smile at least he saved one.

"Master, Master come. I save one. I is sorry. Tried to get all babies but bad wizard came." Dobby said quietly. Dobby walked over to the wardrobe and slowly opened it to reveal a little baby. He slowly approached his master with the baby in his arms.

Lucius didn't notice anything till he heard the sounds of crying. Looking around he spots his youngest in the arms of Dobby. Cradling the baby to his chest he wept for his stolen children. Rodolphus sank to the floor and gathered Lucius and the baby in a hug as he cried for his lost children.

"Dobby I need you to get Fink the Lestranges house-elf" instructed Marvolo.

"Why do you need the house-elf" ask Severus as he nearly threw up. If he found out who did this they would die a most painful death.

"Rodolphus you made Fink the children's house elf correct" Rodolphus nodded "Lucius who is the children's house-elf?

"Dobby" was the whispered reply. Two pops announced the arrival of the two house elves. Marvolo knelt down to the house elves.

"You are both bond to your master's children correct?" Marvolo asked. Two heads bobbed up and down ears flapping. "Fink feel thru the bond what is it you feel."

Fink was surprised most wizards did not know that house elves could feel things from their masters. A house elves appearance and personality depended on the family they served. A family house elf is tied to the family itself. A personally bonded house elf could feel their masters feeling is their master dies then they die

"Fink is feeling scared. Fink is feeling skin change." Fink was worried about his you masters. Marvolo turned to Dobby.

"Dobby is feeling the same but also sadness and loss."

"Well we know that they are alive. We will find them and the ones responsible will pay."
