Lucius was in a mood
Okay, maybe not. He was pissed off
Maybe that doesn't quite cut it
He was absolutely furious, so fucking furious I was surprised that no one within a ten mile radius done gone deaf with bleeding ears all of a sudden
And I had to stand there and listen to him curse and scream in rage. Only now and again, some coherent words could be understand, such as 'Fucking Draco, I'm gonna RIP HIS THROAT OUT', or 'Where is Draco? I wanna KILL HIM'
I would have laughed if it wasn't so serious, but it was dead serious and I wasn't laughing. Because I was lucky to be alive, as I was the one who gave him the bad news. And I mean really BAD news
Lucius had been expecting some allies in the form of the Black Leopards, a group of dark wizards who hailed from Russia. They were helpful in the way they owned a pet Nundu and Lucius believed the Nundu would help him greatly in taking over the entire wizarding world
However, they were overdue, so I was ordered to fly to Russia with some Death Eaters and find out what the go was. Turns out the Black Leopards had been slaughtered, including their pet Nundu. And there was only one person I could think of who had done the deed: Draco
But anyhow, back to now
After screaming and swearing for what seemed like an eternity, Lucius suddenly calmed down and sat in his chair, before patting his long hair back into place
"Weasley, it seems we have a great need to find Draco," he said in a somewhat calm, yet cold voice
Wouldn't have surprised me from all that yelling
"Any ideas on where he could be?"
"We've tried everywhere"
"NO YOU HAVEN'T! HE IS HERE SOMEWHERE. YOU ARE NOT SEARCHING HARD ENOUGH!!"
"We could try again in some places where we might have missed him"
"What did you find at Hogwarts?"
"Nothing"
"That is hard to understand. Try Hogwarts again"
"Yes my lord"
"And Weasley, don't fail me again, understand"
"Yes my lord"
"Good. Now go"

After arriving back at Hogwarts, the five of us staggered inside and reached the Great Hall, where everyone else was busy looking after the place
"Daddy!"
I barely had time to look up, as something small and fast slammed into me. I fell onto my back, as Elizabeth giggled and hugged me
"Not now, sweetheart, Daddy's a little worn out"
"Oh"
She got off me, as I sat up
"Draco Malfoy, taken out by a five-year-old," laughed Warwick
"Shut up, fangs"
"Draco, something arrived for you," said Mrs Weasley
I cocked an eyebrow. Since when had something arrived for me? To most people, I was dead. Unless it was something that was late. Five years late
"What is it?" I asked
"It's a letter. I've already read it, since it was from Ginny"
Now that interested me. Ginny was in the possession of Lucius. How she managed to get a letter out to me is somewhat amazing
"How did she send it?" I asked as I grabbed it
"By owl"
I looked up and saw the snowy owl perched on Mrs Weasley's shoulder
"That looked familiar"
"That's Harry's owl," exclaimed Dean
"I was getting to that," I mumbled
"What does the letter say?" asked Julian
I cleared my throat
"To Draco or whoever reads this,
We have found a way to contact you, as you can tell, and we have some things to tell you. One, I have found a room that contains all of our wands and your sword, Draco. Two, there is a way out of the castle. It leads to the gardens and from there, I believe we can jump the fence and get away
However, we don't know where you are and we may need some help in getting away. I can't tell you exactly where the castle is, but I can tell you the area in where it could be located. The castle is situated on an island called the Isle of Man, which is between England and Ireland
Let us know of a night when we could escape and we will join you in the fight against Lucius. Hope this reaches you and good luck to everyone
Ginny"
I looked up from the letter and at everyone else
"Looks like we're gonna be doing a rescue mission"
"Not right now you are," said Mrs Weasley, "You're going to rest up, because you may need all the strength you have to free my daughter and everyone else"
"Sounds good"
I got up from the floor and handed the letter back to Mrs Weasley, who led us to the kitchen for some warm onion soup, as well as other dishes that she and the elves had cooked up while we were gone
Once we had been fed, I returned back to my room with Elizabeth, which was formerly the Headmaster's office. I sat down at the desk and grabbed a quill and parchment, before writing a reply letter, as Elizabeth played with her toys
"What are you writing?" asked the portrait of Armando Dippet
"A reply letter to Ginny. She has found some things of interest"
"Such as?"
"Our wands and possibly a way out"
"So, you will be attempting a rescue mission?" asked the portrait of Albus Dumbledore
"Hopefully, I don't know how it will go"
"Well, best of luck then"
"Yeah, we're gonna need it"
I had kept my letter short and brief. I read over it a few times and once satisfied, I left the office with Elizabeth and headed to the Owlery, where I found Hedwig and attached the letter to her leg
"Okay, make sure it gets to Ginny, but make sure you do it in secrecy"
I don't know if the owl understand, but something in her large golden eyes told me that she did. Hedwig spread her wings and flew away from the Owlery
"Godspeed," I said as I watched her fly away
