Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter. Everything belongs to J.K.R and WB
and whoever is involved with the editing + publishing + distributing of the
books.
Pairings: Harry/Ginny, Draco/Hermione, Ron/OC Rating: R Setting: Story starts summer before 6th year. I know now that the fifth book is out, a lot of the facts or events in the story are not true anymore. But just look at it as a semi-Alternate Universe ok?
"So you're telling me that you let the Potter boy get away." Voldemort calmly said, eyes locked onto the bowing form of Lucius Malfoy.
"Yes. But he had help." Lucius quickly said.
"That doesn't matter. We had expected that precautions would have been set in place by Dumbledore to ensure the safety of the boy. You failed anyway."
Lucius kept silent.
"You had promised me the boy. I had trusted you to complete this mission." Voldemort said, his voice was laced with anger.
"My sincere apologies, my lord, but-"
"No buts! If you failed this time, who knows what stupid blunder you'll make next time."
"I have been loyal to you for so long, my lord, please-"
Voldemort's cold laugh stopped Lucius. "Loyal? You dare utter that word? Weren't you the one who claimed you were innocent of all acts under me? While my other followers were suffering loyally in Azkaban, awaiting my return?"
Lucius trembled in fear at the mounting anger in Voldemort's voice.
"I have reached the end of my patience for you, Malfoy. Let's just hope your son had turned out better than his old man."
Raising his head, Lucius made eye contact with Voldemort. "Please! My lord- "
"Avada Kedavra."

"Master Draco, there is a message for you."
Draco glanced up to see the house-elf holding a sealed envelope. He took it and waiting until the house-elf left.
Turning it over, he broke the green seal with the print of a snake on it. Sliding the paper out Draco's eyes quickly ran over the words.
"To Draco Malfoy:
The Dark Lord wishes to inform you that Mr. Lucius Malfoy has been eliminated due to his display of incompetence. The Dark Lord now will count on you to represent the respectable Malfoy family. Do well and be well rewarded, Mr. Draco Malfoy. You are to be reminded that your marking ceremony is at the end of your 6th year at Hogwarts.
You know what to do with the message upon completion."
The room was quiet. A few minutes later, the scent of paper being burned wafted out the open windows.

After the attack that night, Harry had gone back home to pack and immediately left to live at Hogwarts for the remainder of the summer. The strange thing was that as swift as the attack had happened, the Death Eaters had retreated. The Ministry finally decided to face the fact that Voldemort is back and had warned everyone to be cautious and alert. Except for a few injuries, there had been no deaths resulting from the attack. Extra security measures were taken with the Weasley's and the Granger's, since they were close to Harry. Everything seems to be fine, except there was one person missing from the attack. That person was Neville Longbottom.
