Mrs Parkinson scream had already captured the attention of the guests. Harry was looking a little annoyed. I hope it is because the music had stopped. We were moving towards the center of attention.A trail of blood was visible. A mutilated body of a house elf was there,his eyes were wide open with shock and an expression of horror. His skin was cracked like there was an intense pressure on the blood vessels and they popped out leaking blood.

"I hope you will call in the Aurors . Malfoy"
"There is no need Black. Nothing is missing from my house and it is just a House Elf."
"Just a house elf" I shouted." He served your house and at the end of the day he was 't you want to know who killed him unless you are the killer." By this time I was getting frustrated. This could be the perfect opportunity to search Malfoy Manor.
"I don't want any Auror. Tibby !". "Dispose of the body and clean the floor as well."

"But ...no wait"

Harry came to my side , gripped my hands tightly and whispered "They are not going to listen to you Sirius ,they have to much to hide." I knew somewhere in my heart that this all was for nothing. The probability that the Malfoys were going to allow any investigation was null. But still...
"Whoever murdered could be against Malfoy House."
" Black. I only see you as my enemy here. Wards were not at all disturbed. If I can think of any one who can do this its you." threatened Malfoy.
"Lucius I will meet you later. Then we can furthur discuss our business arrangement " interupted Harry."Sirius ,Lets go"with that she swept me away to Leaky Cauldron.

We were in Harry's rented room. She was sitting on the bed and I was awkwardly standing there.

"That was brave of you " she said.
"What?"
"And little stupid too" she said with a smile.
I was smiling sheepishly.
"Sirius , What do you think of the murder?"
"I don't know about the murder but the murderer is very clever. He must have used a potion so as not to disturb the wards. But why would someone kill a house elf?"
"I don't know Sirius . But I think somehow my father is involved."
"What do you mean?"I asked.
"My father invented a potion. It has similar effect."."The potion that he discovered was for medical purpose. The effect was similar but very mild."." Sirius , I think some one who has the potion's recipe , developed it to become lethal"."Sirius, whoever would have killed the house elf maybe has my father kidnapped."
"Harry that is a long shot. And..."
"And What?"
"And the murderer could be him as well"
"Do you have any idea what are you saying? My father is a nobel man. He would never murder anyone and the least an innocent House elf."she was shouting . Her face was red and she was trying to restrain her voice level.
"Get Out" she said pointing towards the door.
"You have to considor all the possibilties and the mystery around your mother's death" I said walking towards the door..
"My mom died in an accident"she stated.
" I know but..." she pushed me out of the room and shut the door.
