The Hunted
Chapter Four
Gryffindor Keep had a dark look upon it, anyone who viewed it, knew that it held a long and dark history, and knew that those few who lived there were some of the worlds strongest Magicals in the entire world, they were the few who trained longer and harder than everyone else, they worked to be better than the best, and they knew that without them, the Magical World would have been exterminated years ago. But it wasn't the exterior that mattered, it was the beings who inhabited the castle that were of real importance…
"The Lestrange's apparently tracked Argus to a suburban area, where he was going to eliminate a female child in the middle of the night." An elegant voice spoke as he looked to each of his companions.
"So? Lucius, you know that Argus lost his mind years ago, he never does anything that actually makes sense, what importance could this girl possibly be?" an oily voice spoke as the dark haired man looked up from his table where he was working on his potions.
Lucius who was sitting by the fire place, turned to look at him and spoke; "Severus, this girl was New Blood, but more importantly a late bloomer, she's eighteen years old, for them, and more importantly us to miss her, would mean that there could be more that we are missing." Severus looked at Lucius and appeared to be in deep thought, "Then we must step up our game, and try harder to find the New Blood before the filthy Muggles do."
The room quieted after that, the rest of the rooms companions; Sirius Black and Remus Lupin were sitting deep in thought near the door into the room, contemplating their lives and the lives they left behind in the city of Hogwarts, the family that they wished they could have.
"Lucius, I hear that young Draco and Astoria are expecting a child soon, how does it feel to know you'll soon be a Grandfather?" Remus spoke softly, as he watched Lucius smile into the flames of the fire, "Narcissa tells me that Draco is beside himself with worry for his young wife, and that he cannot wait to present his child to me when it is brought into this world."
The four men slowly slid into a comfortable silence, that child was what they were fighting for, they couldn't allow another child to be hunted just because of their blood, and this world had to be a free world once again.
"Regulus hasn't checked in yet, and it's been three days."
"Give him two more, then he will be declared K.I.A." he looked out past the steeple into the darkness of the night and spoke again, "Does Sirius know yet?"
"No, I haven't told him." he sighed, "You know how my Godfather can be Tom."
Tom chuckled, "Yes I do Harrison, and he can be quite hot tempered."
"Alastor says he is working on a lead that could give us the upper hand in the war; do you think he will come through?"
Tom was silent before he answered, "Alastor will come through he always does." Tom smiled, as he turned towards Harrison, "Tell me son, how is Daphne? I have heard from the grapevine that she has been spending more time with the young Malfoy's lately?"
Harrison glared at Tom, "If you already know then why do you ask Tom?" Tom chuckled as he turned back to look into the darkness.
Malfoy Compound, Hogwarts City
"Mother, I want to join Father on his quest, I'm ready, you know I'm ready!"
Narcissa sighed as this fight seemed to be more and more common as the days passed, "Draco, I know you'd love nothing more than to join your Father, but you know that he wants you here to help protect me, and the Family, and that my son is more important than any war we could ever fight."
Draco nodded his head as he looked to the room that Astoria Malfoy slept in while her sister Daphne Greengrass attended to her needs, "I will stay then Mother, but one day I will join them on their quest, and then you won't be able to stop me." Narcissa slumped in her chair as a sigh was let out, it got harder and harder every day to convince him not to leave, and it would still only ever get harder.
Unknown location
"Regulus fell for the trap; he is no longer a problem my Lord."
"Good, soon we will enact the next part of the plan, prepare your forces, make sure that General Argus follows commands this time, we can not have any more screw ups, Senator."
"Yes my Lord, soon the world shall be ours."
"Good, now leave me, I'm a busy man."
Three Days Later, Gryffindor Keep
"The Weasley Four will attack the relay stations, and do as much damage as possible, while trying to knock out their satellites, while Lucius, Severus, and Alastor will attack the Barracks compound, remember use the firefiend spell, take out as much as possible." The two groups nodded, "The Lestranges will randomly attack different locations around London, causing as much damage as possible before leaving to attack another. Does everyone understand?" The Hit Wizards nodded and got up to go to the armoury.
"What about us Tom?" asked Sirius, as he and Remus stood back.
It was Harrison who answered, "You'll be coming with us, we're going to bring the fight to the General."
Sirius and Remus smiled.
Hermione was in the basement reading as Ron and Ginny came downstairs with the most terrified look on their faces, "What's the matter?" she asked as they both sat down on the couch.
Ginny looked up, from a piece of parchment in her hands; "Our Brothers have finally sent us something in the mail."
Hermione was confused, "Isn't that a good thing?"
Ron shook his head, "It would be if it wasn't for the fact that it told us to stay hidden this weekend, and that this weekend would be one for the history books."
Ginny looked back and forth between Hermione and Ron, "We need to get to Hogwarts, now."
