Lucius Malfoy and the youngest Prisoner of Azkaban

Chapter 2

AN: I believe I forgot to include in the last chapter how the Auror died. Ariel used a knife as her weapon, and was able to kill them without harming her soul if she used Avada Kedavra. Yeah, I forgot that in the last chapter so I thought to include it here! On to the story!

Reviews are like candy, I need them to live!

Lucius entered the Ministry on Monday morning with proper forms in hand to get Annabell Glaskan out of Azkaban for good; he approached the minister's office with a confident stride in his step. He was going to break this kid out no doubt, although one thought crossed his mind. His son. Draco was a problem in this plan, he could not be trusted. So what would Lucius do? When he comes home for Christmas he will surely find out, of the Prophet will leak it out sooner or later. It was then that Lucius decided when he had some free time to send his some a quick owl explaining the situation and not to worry and to keep quiet. Then he approached the door to the Minister's office and made three sharp knocks upon it.

The door was opened by the Minister's lap dog, Percy Weasley, whom Lucius shoved out of the way as he went up to the door leading into the private office. A slightly nervous voice that Lucius was so familiar with said "Come in." And Lucius entered.

The Minister stood up at once and bowed to Lucius respectfully, "Ah, Lucius how nice to see you my friend."

"Thank you Cornelius." Lucius said stiffly, he knew the Minister preferred people using his first name in private but Lucius still felt uncomfortable with it.

"Sit, sit old friend. Can I get you a drink?" said the Minister. Lucius inwardly cringed with the friend comment, Lucius honestly barely knew the man, and he only spoke to him about work or to convince him do things for the Dark Lord.

"No sir, I am here on business actually. I have a proposal for you." Said Lucius.

"Okay, if that's how you want it." Said the Minister, who seemed almost hurt by Lucius' actions. "What can I do for you today?"

"Well as you know Draco is getting older and is at school so much Narcissa and I have become lonely at the Manor without him. We were thinking of getting another child, I need your consent to take the child from her current residence." Said Lucius

"Lucius! Old friend, I never took you for a real fatherly person. I always thought you wanted only one child. In any rate that's a great idea! Tell me, who is the child, my boy?" said the Minister excitedly.

Now Lucius outwardly cringed, the Minister was starting to sound like Dumbledore with the my boy nonsense, either way if this was going to work Lucius would need to keep the Minister happy with him so he went along with it.

"Well Narcissa wishes to have a daughter, because she has had enough of males in the family. We have been searching idly for a while now but Narcissa seems to be set on a girl that I believe is an interesting find and will bring new things to our family. I agree, but even though I have already told her it's almost impossible she is relentless on her." Said Lucius.

"Lucius, I am quite sure that whatever child you want you can get." mused the Minister. "Who is she?"

"Well, its Ariel Ann Clemons." said Lucius hesitantly.

"Well I see you problem now Lucius, you want to adopt a prisoner of Azkaban. You know her sentence is not over for a couple more years, she is also dangerous, and lethal. Would you and Narcissa be up for the challenge." Said the Minister.

"I assure you sir that Narcissa and I have had many a conversations about this and we are sure that we can rehabilitate the girl into a respectable member of society. Her parents were in my year at Hogwarts, they are distant cousins to my father. Since she has no other family I see that we could be a beacon for her to change her ways." Assured Lucius, "You see how we have trained Draco; imagine what we could do with a fourteen year old girl."

"She is not allowed in Hogwarts anymore, you would have to home school her, are you up for that challenge?" said the Minister with doubt in his voice.

"Yes sir, I just need the papers to take her from Azkaban, and our wards at home can keep her inside and unable to escape." Said Lucius as he took the papers out from his briefcase.

"Alright Lucius I trust you can do this, I will sign them." Said the Minister as he held his hand out to receive the papers.

"Thank you sir, Narcissa and I are so excited for this new addition to our family." Said Lucius.

"Good, good I think we are done here you just need to get Ms. Clemons to sign this when you pick her up and send it back to me." Said the Minister.

"Thank you again sir, I will go pick her up now if you don't mind. I was wondering if I could have some time off work so Narcissa and I can teach her and get her adjusted to a new lifestyle." Said Lucius.

"Of course Lucius! Of course! That is expected! Go pick her up and take her home, come back in a few months, oh and give me some reports of her status would you. I am curious on how this will turn out for you." Said the Minister, "You don't mind if this get's in the Prophet would you, I'm sure they'd love an interview!"

"Of course I will hold a formal interview about the subject, but only one and I will not have reporters stalking my home or printing false details." Said Lucius seriously.

"Of course of course my boy. I will see to it! Now get going!" replied the Minister as he shooed Lucius out of his office.

Lucius turned and rolled his eyes as he left the office, he never thought it would be that easy to get the fool to give him the girl. Lucius didn't even have to use Imperio like he planned as a backup. He left the office and curtly nodded to Percy Weasly as he left. Papers in hand, he headed for the Azkaban Prison Office which was close to Azkaban itself but was safe from Dementors.

The office building was relatively large with a massive amount of security a place could have. Guards with wands at ready were stationed periodically at every door, there were full formed patronuses scampering about the office as well, Lucius could feel the wards in place even. You couldn't apparate in, or even port key, you had to walk there with permission so you weren't killed when thought to be a criminal. Lucius walked up to one of the many wizards the building who was sitting at a desk labelled Sign In and rang the bell. Upon hearing the noise the receptionist spun around to face Lucius.

The receptionist was a medium build man, with his shoulder length honey coloured hair pulled into a ponytail, and his robes were a navy blue uniform that Lucius had seen the other workers wearing. The receptionist looked up and spoke: "Mr. Lucius Abraxas Malfoy, I presume?"

"Yes." Lucius said impatiently.

"Here to see Ms. Ariel Ann Clemons and has the proper documents to take her from here and to Malfoy manor to adopt her." The receptionist stated mechanically, it almost reminded Lucius of the goblins at Gringotts.

"Yes." Replied Lucius again.

"Well sir we have her in meeting room 1, she has had her silencing charm lifted off but is detained to the room, we recommend you put her to sleep before you take her out as she can fight without a wand almost as good as with a wand." The receptionist said, "If you make your way through those doors on your right someone will guide you to your meeting room."

"And in that room I will have complete privacy with the girl, correct?" said Lucius as he sneered at the receptionist with the trademark Malfoy sneer.

"Yes Sir Mr. Malfoy. You can go in now." Said the receptionist strongly.

"Thank you." Lucius practically ground out.

Lucius walked down the hall and entered the meeting room after nodding to the two guards outside the door.

POV: Ariel

Ariel was sitting and sulking in the plain white meeting room, apparently someone wanted to meet with her. Nobody told her who but she was sure it wasn't going to be good; she was stuck here because her sentence wasn't up for 3 more years. Although there were suspicions in the back of her mind, she was interested to see who would ever want to talk to her. She was a criminal, convicted, and the only reason that Azkaban the Juvenile ward exists.

Ariel had strawberry blonde hair that fell down her back from not having it cut, she had hazel green eyes and some freckles on and around her nose. Her prison uniform was a black and white striped tank top, black jeans, black combat boots, and a black leather jacket. She was the person who designed it from a muggle design; even though her parents were pureblood they wanted her to see the muggle world because it was their passion. Once they died she kept that passion alive through other means.

In prison she mostly spent time by herself, well technically. The guards would watch her from afar, but wouldn't speak to her. She had one friend, her payroll officer named Katherine Creevy, her younger brothers were still in Hogwarts and she had only graduated two years ago. They spoke of Hogwarts together, she would teach Ariel about magic through books because she didn't have her wand. Katherine taught her about the outside world, what was going on with the war and the ministry because she was in the Order of the Phoenix, she had heard all about Umbridge through Katherine and she was glad she was banned from Hogwarts so she didn't have to suffer through that. Ariel's opinion of the war was similar to her parents she mostly sided with light except for the fact they are the reason she is in prison and that her parents were dead. Those Aurors were in the Order until it was found out what they did then they were kicked out so she couldn't hold a complete grudge against the Light side. But the dark side had its pluses too. All in all it was just her opinion, so much is happening outside of Azkaban and she can't be part of it.

The door opened with a slam and with her feet upon the table Ariel didn't even look up until she heard someone clearing their throat. She looked up to see the face of Lucius Malfoy. Yes she knew who he was; he was the father of Draco Malfoy, a cocky selfish boy from school. Katherine had told her about his past Death Eater activities. Ariel was genuinely curious about why he was here, but she wouldn't show it. She inclined her head and said silkily "Lucius Malfoy, what can I do for you today sir?"

Back to Lucius POV

When Lucius opened the door he hadn't expected to see Ariel the way she was, relaxed and healthy unlike Bellatrix who went insane. This was good for him, but she hadn't even looked up; she was ignoring him that was something he would have to fix.

Lucius cleared his throat and she finally looked up at him. "Lucius Malfoy, what can I do for you today sir?" she said.

Lucius sat down on the opposite chair to her across the table; he set his briefcase down but didn't take the papers out just yet.

"Ms. Clemons, it is not what you can do for me, it's what I can do for you." He said smoothly.

"I see, and what is it you can do for me?" she said as she put her feet down and leaned in closer to him from across the table.

"I have a way to get you out of Azkaban forever and have no chance of returning ever again." Said Lucius.

"Yeah so what's the catch, I know that Death Eaters have ulterior motives." She said as she smirked knowingly.

Lucius paled at the Death Eater comment, glad he silenced the room so nobody could overhear. He leaned in and said "It's simple I'll take you to my home and adopt you, teach you all the magic you missed and train you to be a proper pure-blooded Death Eater. Your experience in manipulation and deception is needed; you are to train the Death Eaters in your knowledge."

"I see, I also know that these aren't the Dark Lord's orders either. Your family has been out of the Dark Lord's trust for years. You just want to use me, then you'll send me to Hogwarts of just kill me. Why should I go with you?" She said.

"I know the grudge you hold against the Light for the death of your family. Imagine how you could get back at them with us, we can avenge them. I can give you a new family of my wife and me. You can do magic again."

"I don't think so; I'd rather finish my sentence instead of being stuck as someone's ward thank you very much. So you can leave now, thanks for visiting and I hope to never see you again soon." She said as she smiled at him.

Lucius sighed and rubbed his temples. "I wanted you to come willingly but I see that you will not cooperate. But I am happy to inform you that I have a form signed by the Minister stating that I can adopt you and take you from Azkaban with or without your permission. If we have to do it like this then it's alright." Lucius then shot out a spell from his wand that he knew Ariel had never heard of and she slumped back in her chair asleep.

Lucius picked up his briefcase and walked over to Ariel and picked her up, he turned to the door and walked out. He nodded to the guards and the receptionist and walked to the port key point to head home.
