Draco walked through the room with his hands behind his back and an upset look on his face. Two hours after Ginny had left, his father had arrived, pulling him from school, also; which, Draco found somewhat unusual since his father was the one posing the threat.Well, Voldemort, but they were in on it together, Draco had found that out long ago. To him , it was the inevitable that his father had 'gone to the dark side'.

"Draco," His father said as he walked into the hollow room closing the door behind him. "It's time for a little father-son talk."

"Terrific, who's going to be the father?" Draco asked sorely as a sneer swept across his father's face.

"Don't make trouble, son, or I might just have to let Dumbledore know you won't be returning to school." Lucious smiled evilly as Draco rolled his eyes but kept quiet for the time.

"Don't be so quick to assume I have done the wrong thing. Draco, you have to understand that a Weasley is nothing, and neither is a Weasley's relatives."

"So if Ginny's parent's where rich she would be absolutely delightful?!" Draco snapped back.

"Now, you're catching on my boy." Lucious said with a sarcastic hint in his voice. "Now, come to the study, we must speak where no one can hear us." Lucious said motioning his hands as if to beckon his son.

"Would it be wise for me to do that?" Draco raised an eyebrow.

"Stop your incessant ignorant comments, boy, and start walking!" Lucious exclaimed with a new evil confidence in his voice. Something Draco had never heard before.

Inside the floor to ceiling wooden walls, Draco sat at his father's desk as Lucious walked to and fro in front of the blazing fire. "Draco, you need to listen without comments. Now, I have been assisting and old friend of mine run his business while he was away, now that he is back he has seen your tremendous responsibility and has invited you to help him in his business like I have."

"And if I refuse?" Draco hissed.

"You see, that's thing, you can't. You will take the next train to Limerick and begin your training under his authority. No questions asked. And then he will assign to you a mission."

"I refuse to become another mindless zombie death eater like you!" Draco muttered as he stood to his father.

"Sit down!" Lucious' voice rang and echoed throughout the room, causing an uneasy stir in Draco. This was not the father he had the last he had seen him.

"Who are you?" Draco asked with a hint of fear under his tone. "What have you done with that twit of a father of mine?"

"Well, seems as if someone has finally caught on to all the hints being dropped in his way. Welcome to the real world Draco and you'll do as I command you to, as I said, no questions asked." All of a sudden the shadows from the flames raging in the fire engulfed the figure of Lucious and as they pulled back revealed the mighty Voldemort, his eyes gleaming a sinister green. His skin seemed itself to writher with evil as the shadows from the fire played across his scarred face like demons in the pits of hell. "Draco, Draco, Draco, so little time for you to learn what is good for you. Listen, boy, you will listen to me or your little girlfriend gets it, understand?" (Okay, author here, I know that sounds a little Wizard of Oz but I didn't know what else to put.)

"What do you want from me?" Draco asked, his voice quivering under the shadow of Voldemort.

"Bring Virginia Weasley here, to this house, and your task will be halfway fulfilled." Voldemort hissed.

"What do you want with her you monster?!" Draco lashed out standing to face Voldemort, but his anger proved not strong enough as he sat in fear again. His eyes narrowed and his hands twitched as they clutched the leather clad arms of the chair.

"THAT will be discussed later. For now you have a job to do.Or do I need to bring your father in this as well?" Voldemort sneered. Although Draco hated his father, he had that son-like unconditional love for him. He could feel his heart plummet from his chest.

Ginny sat on her bed as the storm outside passed along bringing the winds and black clouds around the Weasley abode. She sighed as her eyes wandered out the window and over the details of this familiar countryside. She wasn't pleased that, before Alexis had drifted on to sleep, she had told Ginny about Hogwarts being deemed unsafe.

Even though she better understood her father's actions and no longer labeled them as rash, she still felt a terrible pang when she thought of Hogwarts and not being there. She looked out at the sky again and felt the sudden urge to grab her broom and soar out of that window, over the waving grasses. She bowed her head. She knew that wasn't an option. She was confined to the house.

A loud noise rang through the house as the kitchen door swung open. Ginny rushed to the window to see a car that belonged to Fred and George and a few shadows dancing across the lawn as the light in the kitchen popped on. Ginny rushed downstairs to find bother her brother's standing in the kitchen with solemn looks on their faces.

Walking into the room she heard the last piece of something Fred was saying. "...They closed down the entire Alley, everything, even the Cauldron." As she stepped off from the last step on the staircase a loud thud was heard as she lost her balance.

"Gins? What are you doing up?" George asked as he walked over to give her a hug followed by Fred.

"I heard you two. What's wrong? What about the alley?" She asked looking at them.

"Gins.what's wrong with you it's three in the bloody mor-" Alexis was rubbing her eyes as she wandered down the steps but froze at the site of Fred and George. "A family reunion I didn't know about or something?"

"Go on to bed you two.." Molly said in her hairnet and nightdress as she waved them up the steps. Everyone in the house had woken up. Arthur sighed as he walked over to Harry and Ron who too, had wandered down in their pajamas.

"Harry? What're you doing here? And Alexis?" Fred asked looking at each of them and shaking his head confusedly.

There was no explanation at the time. There was no need. They had all been brought here by a series of events...
