To Kill the Dark Lord and the Puppeteer

Aftermath

Amelia Bones office

Head of DMLE

"Over 500 ministry employees and 7 of them my AURORS! It's no wonder we could never stop that turd. We have a month's worth of paper work before we can even begin to figure out what happened. The Prophet is having a field day. I'm happy they are gone, But we have no idea How it happened!"

Daily Prophet The next morning

Prominent family's wiped out

Purebloods targeted

Is their a new DARK LORD?

Yesterday just before five in the evening, within the Ministry of Magic, 513 witches and wizards began screaming. One by one they began falling to the floor. All but four were purebloods, the four who were not were very highly placed ministry officials. We at the Prophet have reports of many more through out the wizarding world. We estimate almost 75% of Pureblood family's are now wiped out.

We are eagerly awaiting word from the ministry as to what happened. Director Amelia Bones of the DMLE had this to say. "We are investigating what occurred here yesterday; as soon as possible we will report our findings to the public."

The public didn't seem to be bothered much after the first day of the new crisis. All death eater attacks had come to a grinding halt, peace seemed to reign in the wizarding world. Dumbledore was at a complete loss as to what happened, even four and fifteen year old pure bloods had been affected in what was now being called the death purge.

Draco had yet to leave Malfoy Manor, the smell inside the manor was growing by the hour, fly's seemed to be everywhere, and body's covered with them. Tom Marvolo Riddles body was untouched as if it were so evil even fly's wouldn't touch it. Draco noticed one thing. He was the only person in the manor with out the dark mark. All these people he had idolized dead he had just sat there. He watched as each one fell dead and the last one the Dark Lord himself. He felt lucky, he was to take the mark the night the Dark Lord fell Ill, and it was fates intervention that saved him.

Delores Umbridge, was sitting in her cell, Lord Malfoy had promised to bail her out today. She was certain those of the right character would prevail and she would be exonerated.

A young security wizard entered with her diner, and slid it under the bars of her cell.

"Your diner!" The young man said and turned to leave.

"HEM…HEM, Have you seen Lord Malfoy?"

The young worker just smiled. "It seems Lord Malfoy and his family has not been heard from since the incident. The wizard wireless has been broadcasting on all channels for every one to check in with the ministry. The Malfoy's have not done so, neither have most Pureblood family's. I'm afraid you'll be here until your trial! Have a good evening Madame UMBITCH! He held up his left hand showing the words etched there "I will respect my betters"!

In the recorders office in the ministry no one had yet noticed, The Book of bonds held a new pair. Lord Harry James Potter-Black bonded to Lady Hermione Jean (Dagworth-Granger) Potter-Black. The time and date corresponded exactly to the time of the incident.

A group of Aurors were dispatched the next day to the Mafoy home. When they entered they only found one person left alive. Draco was catatonic; he hadn't eaten in days the house was over run with flies and the smell was horrendous. The Aurors transported Draco to St. Mungos, where he was placed in the emergency room under guard until he could be questioned.
