Harry walked beside Kingsley and Tonks as they made their way to the holding chambers in The Ministry of Magic. Harry's hands were clammy, sweat beaded on his forehead as his nerves racked his body. Kingsley had sent Ron an owl telling him to meet them at The Ministry and to be quick about. That calmed Harry a bit knowing that Ron was going to be by his side questioning Lucius with him. They finally reached the last cell all three of them stopping outside, Kingsley and Tonks turning towards Harry.
"Are you ready for this Potter?" Kingsley asked in a hushed voice. Harry stared at him, glanced at Tonks who gave him a reassuring smile and nodded.
"Yeah. Well, I really don't have a choice do I?" Harry said, half sarcastic, trying to lighten the mood. That could never work. The corners of Kingsley's mouth twitched, a faint glint in his eyes.
"You're right Potter, you don't have a choice." Harry nodded and exhaled his breath he had been holding. "Draco Malfoy has just been captured by Moody and the others. He made a run for it, almost Apparated until Moody hit him with a Binding Curse and now they're on their way back here. Draco will be next for questioning, so be ready for that." Kingsley said, narrowing his eyes at Harry as Harry's face contorted in hatred. Before Kingsley could ask Harry what was wrong feet were heard running down the hall and all three sets of eyes turned to look who was arriving. They saw Ron running as fast as he could, a stack of papers in his hand.
"Sorry! Sorry! I came as soon as I got your owl but you know how Hermione is!" Ron rushed out as he came to a halt in front of his boss and two co-workers.
"You're just one time. I was just fixing to go in." Harry said and Ron sighed happily but nervously.
"Oh good." He swallowed and looked up at Harry with those blue eyes of his, a little wide with fear. "So... Shall we get this over with?" He said weakly, and Harry patted his shoulder.
"Don't worry mate. It'll be over in no time." He told Ron quietly and Ron gave him a small smile and nodded. Harry pointed at the papers Ron was holding. "What are those?" He asked.
"Oh.. These are for boss man. I finished the paper work on those two thugs in cell nine." Ron handed Kingsley the papers who took them gratefully.
"Thanks Weasley, I'll get these filed right away." He tucked the papers under his bulging arm and looked at his two best Aurors. "Take every measure we have taught you. Don't let him keep anything to himself. We want all the information he has. If he doesn't tell you everything and you think he's keeping something from you we'll use the Veritaserum him. Even if he does tell you everything we're still going to use it on him. We just want to see how much he'll tell under normal behavior." Kingsley nodded his head at the two men. "Everything." He repeated and stepped past them, Tonks patting them on the shoulder and whispering "Good luck" to them.
"Lets go." Harry said and unlocked the cell door and stepping inside, Ron's footsteps right behind him.

Lucius Malfoy sat at a small table in the middle of the room, still wearing his wizarding robes he had put on at Malfoy Manor. His face was blank, no emotion shown on it what so ever. Harry and Ron walked over to where he sat, pulled out the extra two chairs and sat down, never taking their eyes off Lucius. His cold grey eyes slowly turned towards Harry, a slow sneer making it's way onto his face. Harry right then and there wanted to curse him into oblivion.
"I knew they send you in here Potter. And you two Weasley." Lucius spat hoarsely, looking at Ron with the upmost disgust. "Still haven't gone from rags to riches I see. Still rags." He said and Ron jumped up from his seat, launching himself at Lucius who sat firmly in his seat, not flinching one bit. Harry grabbed Ron's shoulders quickly and pushed him back into his seat.
"Ron calm down! He's just trying to rile you up. Don't let him." Harry whispered in Ron's ear, trying to calm the fuming man down. Ron's blue eyes were bright with hate and loathing. Lucius gave a low chuckle and crossed his fingers on the table in a business like manner.
"Get on with it Potter. I'd like to be out of here after this questioning." Lucius said dryly, examining his fingernails. Harry glared at him.
"What makes you think you're leaving right after this is done?" Harry growled, his fist clenched in his lap. Lucius let out a humorous, menacing laugh and slowly stood up from his seat.
"Because im innocent you fool! I had nothing to do with the murders, I was locked in Azkaban for years, I couldn't have done them!" Lucius spat, glaring at Harry and Ron. Harry and Ron now stood up, laying their hands firmly on the table. Harry let a smile slowly make its way onto his face, Ron chuckling softly next to him. Lucius looked outraged at their demeanor, his pale face actually gaining some faint red.
"You escaped Azkaban Malfoy. No one can escape that place, only man has and that was Sirius Black, but he had a good reason to escape. But you. You didn't. You haven't served your full sentence and you will be sent back after everyone that has to deal with you is done. So you better get ready to put back on those rags you wear in that horrible place, because you will be going back, defiantly." At Harry's statement Lucius let out a bellow of rage and lunged himself across the table at Harry, his pale hands reaching for the collar of his shirt. But Ron had beat him to the punch and pulled out his wand, yelled "Expelliarmus!" and sent Lucius crashing against the wall. Harry turned to Ron.
"Thanks." He muttered and Ron nodded. They walked over to Lucius who was struggling to get up off the ground, jerked him to his feet, and slammed him back into his chair, his head lolling dangerously side to side until he regained his composure. Harry grabbed Lucius's robe and tugged him mere inches from his face.
"Try that again and I will curse you into next year. If you're even alive." Harry growled, pushing him back against his seat. Harry sat back down and stared at Lucius.
"Draco and Snape are the murders. Why did they kill your wife Lucius? Why did they kill two of our good friends Katie Bell and Oliver Wood?" Harry questioned, eagerly awaiting Lucius's answer. Lucius wiped his mouth with the back of his hand, smearing the blood already seeping from his bottom lip on the back of his hand. He took his time not answering until Harry had had enough.
"WHY?" Harry yelled, Ron never moving a muscle but Lucius's eyes startled.
"Severus knew something that me and Draco didn't know. Narcissa was planning our own murders behind our backs. Severus told Draco she had come to him because she trusted him, and told him I had deceived her so many times and that Draco was a spinning image of me and that Draco would deceive her in some way only a son could deceive his mother. She wanted us both dead for those reasons and so she could have the Malfoy inheritance. Severus told Draco about her plans and he immediately came to me and told me of her actions. I became infuriated. Someone I had been married to for years upon years, who I thought truly loved me, was going to have me and my son murdered. So me and Draco made our own plan to kill Narcissa before she killed us. Draco was hesitant at first because he did love his mother, but at times he saw what she would do to me and how she could effect him too. She was two-sided you see. But soon Draco came around when he caught her having sex with that filthy bar keep at The Three Broomsticks. He said she just laughed in his face and they continued their actions right in front of him like he wasn't even there." Lucius started his confession, but it was more like Draco's confession. Harry couldn't believe what he was hearing. He couldn't wait to see Draco next and to get his side of the story. Either way, that bastard was going to get the Dementors Kiss along with Snape and hopefully Lucius someday after he served his years in Azkaban.
"Go on." Ron urged and Lucius sighed irritated.
"So Draco bribed Narcissa to come with him to visit Severus one night, telling her he had some potion ingredients to pick up for a potion he was practicing on. He said they would Apparate to London and then walk the rest of the way to Severus's house. As they walked over the bridge before you reach London, Draco hit her over the head, and as she lie on the ground, looking up at her only son, the one she had betrayed, Severus came up from the other side of the bridge and raised his wand and Avada Kedvra her." Lucius stopped there, every kind of emotion running in his eyes right in front of Harry and Ron.
"Why did Draco and Snape kill Katie Bell and Oliver Wood?" Harry asked hoarsely. Lucius licked his lips and leaned back against his chair.
"Draco and Severus weren't alone that night when they murdered Narcissa. It seems a couple picked that night, that very moment to have a nice romantic stroll under the moonlight. They saw them murder her and Draco quickly fixed their memories so they wouldn't remember what they had seen. But Severus knew that Katie was a Healer, and was worried that maybe some bits and pieces of her memory might start coming back to her. Severus also knew that Narcissa visited her father in St. Mungo's and lied to Katie Bell and Ginny Weasley. She faked her innocence, becoming something like friends with the young girls, fooling them. You see, Narcissa did that to her father, that's why he's not there. His body is, but his mind isn't. She act like she was talkign to him, making fake whispers for the both of them, making the Healers and doctors think there was hope for her father, when in reality, there really wasn't. Narcissa was always a little sick in the head. I guess she gets that from the Black side." At this Harry reached for his wand to curse Malfoy, but this time Ron stopped him. He shook his head and silentlyl told him to put his wand away. Ron looked back at Malfoy. "Finish your confession." He stated firmly. Lucius rolled his eyse and continued. "Severus killed Katie Bell, and Draco killed Oliver. Short and simple. That's all I have to say." Lucius stopped there and smirked that infamous Malfoy smirk at Harry and Ron. "Poor souls never even saw it coming." He smarted off and Ron had had enough. He punched Lucius right of his chair with a dreadful CRACK. He leaned over Lucius and pointed his wand at his throat.
"I should kill you right here right now you piece of shit." Ron snarled, and Harry grabbed him, taking him off Lucius.
"Ron..." Harry started but Ron shrugged him off.
"I've had enough. I want to see Draco... Now." Ron said in a low voice that scared Harry. Harry nodded and left Lucius on the ground. He grabbed Ron's arm and steered him towards the cell door.
"We're done here. But don't think this is the last of it Malfoy. The worse is yet to come." Harry spat and unlocked the cell door. Ron turned back to look at the bleeding Malfoy and smirked evilly.
"It seems that you've went from riches to rags." Lucius glared at him as he left the room, smirk still on his face, and locked it behind him.
