The next morning, Arthur Weasley, Harry Potter and Ron Weasley came to Malfoy Manor. They wanted Ginny back. "After all," Ron had said, "She's still a Weasley. Who knows what those Malfoys did to make her go there, or what they are doing to her now."
When they reached the front door, they knocked with their hands, ignoring the door knocker in the shape of a coiling serpent. The door was answered by a House Elf who glared up at them. "Yes?" It said, aggressively. Harry was taken aback. This was nothing like his friend Dobby.
Mr. Weasley coughed. "We are here for my daughter, Ginny. Tell your master that we need to talk."
Ten minutes later, they were stood watching the Malfoy family finish its breakfast. That is the Malfoys and one unrepentant Weasley. Lucius was the first to speak. "Well, Arthur, can we offer you anything. I believe that there are some crusts left, after all, it should be a feast for you, yes?"
"We're here for Ginny. Let her go Malfoy! Ron shouted.
"Virginia is free to leave whenever she likes, just as she came here. But I don't think that she wants to leave, do you, my dear?"
Harry laughed "Of course she wants to leave, don't you Ginny? That is unless you have done something to her. Like put the Imperius curse on her. Right? Ginny?"
Ginny shook her head, astonishing the three who had come to get her. "I will be staying here for the rest of the holidays. Mr. Malfoy has been kind enough to allow that."
Mr. Weasley stepped forward, looking angry. "Ginny, I am your father. You are coming home with us now."
Lucius smirked. "She is an adult now, Arthur. You cannot force her to leave if she does not want to."
Suddenly, Ron noticed Draco's hair. It was red as Ron's own. "Why, Ferret, what happened to you? It looks like someone thinks that you look better in red. Perhaps we should start calling you Draco Weasley!"
Draco Malfoy snarled but did not dare to do anything in front of Lucius. Mr. Weasley backed down. "Come on, we are going. But this isn't over Malfoy. We will find out what you did to Ginny."
After they had gone, Ginny and Lucius sat alone in the breakfast room. Abruptly, Lucius's form shifted into that of Mayor Wilkins. Down, in the cavern, the body of Lucius Malfoy lay still, his face pulled into a look of stark terror.
