Sorry, I stupidly forgot a MAJOR part of this story out… so here it is… the LOST chapter… (post 64)
Post 63:
"So, what'd you think of Fae?" Sirius asked Jade when they were back lying in bed.
"She seems sincere. I just..."
"What?" Sirius asked.
"I feel as if they knew we were coming."
"I know." Sirius said, shifting.
"We're being betrayed by someone."
"I'm sure it's someone in the order though." Sirius said out loud.
"Come on! Who else could it have been? Unless someone's using a Polyjuice potion?"
"No, no... Moody can see through 'em." Sirius responded, sighing. "What's on the agenda for tomorrow?"
"Nothing with the Order, Dumbledore's going to interview someone for the new Divination Professor for Hogwarts next year. Apparently, the current one is really old and has predicted her own death."
"That's not depressing." Sirius said in a sarcastic voice.
"I know."
Jade and Sirius woke up the next morning and received Owls as to what they were to do for work that day. Being an auror meant having your work come to you; for most of the time. Jade skimmed hers and then read Sirius'.
"Ha, ha, sucker. They want you to go into the office to help out with another case!" Jade laughed at Sirius. Both agreed that they hated actually going to work in the office and preferred 'ground work' much better."
"Shush."
Jade kissed Sirius and then said: "You should be going now or you'll be late."
"Yea... what do you have?"
"Investigation."
"Be careful."
"I will.
An 'Investigation' was when an auror had to show up at someone's house and inspect the premises to see if there were any dark objects lying about. People they investigated were also under the suspicion of being a Death Eater.
Jade read the bottom of the Owl where it told her where who she was investigating and where they lived.
Jade read the name.
She dropped the parchment.
Then she dropped to her knees.
Post 64:
Jade glanced at the Owl again.
Lucius Malfoy was the name it read.
Jade
ran to the loo and threw up. Twice.
"There's
nothing for it." She said out loud.
Jade
went up stairs and got dressed in her uniform. She was starting to
sweat at the very thought of facing him. She changed into a
conservative tank top, Capri pants, and a light, sleeveless cloak.
The cloak was a periwinkle blue and had two long slits in its side
for her arms to go through, so she could manoeuvre easily.
Jade
stood in front of the mirror and thought. She made her eyelashes
slightly shorter, her eyes an apple green, put some freckles on her
nose, she changed her hair from its wavy red into a very light brown
that was shorter and she pulled it back. Jade also made her ears
stick out just a little bit gave herself a smaller stature. When she
was done she looked at herself again in the mirror and made her last
change: she made her cheeks slightly puffy.
With
a crack! Jade had apperated in front of the long drive of the
Malfoy Manor.
She
inhaled deeply and walked up it, and then she rang the chimes.
"Hello!
Misses! This is The Manor of Mr. Malfoy! What can be done for you!"
A squeaky little voice said. Jade looked down to see a very young
House Elf at the door. He had bright green eyes and a large nose.
"I'd
like to speak to Mr. Malfoy. May I come in?"
"Of
course! Dobby is at your services, Misses. I'll go get Mr. Malfoy,
you can be sitting here!" The squeaky elf motioned into the next
room where there was a couch.
"Thank
you Dobby.''
"You
are most welcome!" The house elf said, bowing repeatedly.
"Get,
up, you idiot!" A cruel voice said, kicking the elf. Jade closed
her mouth; If it was open, she would have thrown up.
"Good
help is so hard to find. That house elf is very young and
keeps trying to make his dead mother proud. It's pathetic, really."
Lucius said, approaching Jade.
He
was going to ask: "What the hell are you doing here?"
when he looked at her and closed his mouth.
"So...
may I take your cloak?'' he smiled.
Jade
did not really want to take it off but it would be exceedingly rude
not to and many wizards considered it a direct insult, so she
unclasped it and he took it off her, his hand lightly touching her
tattoo that she had completely forgotten about when she was
metamorphing.
In
plain, black ink, her tattoo said:
I'm
going to watch him suffer
I'm
going to watch him scream in pain
I'm
going to take away everything he has
I'm
going to smile as he dies and then
I'm
going to laugh when I see his grave
"My,
aren't we violent?" Lucius smiled.
'You
don't even know." Jade replied. "Lucius Malfoy, I am a
representative from the Ministry of Magic's Auror department. I am
here today to investigate the premises because you are currently
under suspicion of being in the Dark One's League."
''I
see.'' Lucius' voice was angry.
"It
is up to you to allow me to perform this search. Anything broken will
be compensated for fully. But don't worry, I've never broken anything
in an investigation before and I hope there will be no need for it
today. If you decline, you will be escorted to the Auror's holding
cells while we review your case and then your home will be searched
under force. Declining may lead to a large monetary fine as well as a
lengthy Azkaban term. However, if something small here is found, you
may only get off with a small fine and/or community service
time.
''Do
you understand the what I have just told you, Mr. Malfoy?"
"Yes."
"Will
you decline the search of the premises?"
''No."
"Good
choice.'' Jade started by taking a notebook of parchment out and a
never-out-of-ink-Quill.
She
started looking around the room and was very aware that he was
following her.
Out
of the corner of her eye, she noticed Malfoy was looking at her
tattoo.
"May
I help you, Mr. Malfoy?" Jade said in a slightly agitated voice,
though she was very scared on the inside.
''I
was just wondering."
'I'm
sure you were.''
"...What
that tattoo of yours means?"
Jade
peered inside a jar on the mantel over the fireplace: it was
empty.
"Well,
Sir, it's quite simple. I plan on completely destroying a particular
person's-"
"A
man's."
"Yes.
A particular man's life. I then plan to watch his suffer while
laughing, and then I'm going to kill him."
"I'm
not quite sure I want someone like you being an auror." He said,
coolly.
"And
I am quite sure that no body cares." She answered back, moving
towards the bookshelf.
Jade
conjured a latter and placed it at the books. She climbed up it and
pulled the very top book off the shelf and opened it, and ruffled its
pages. She did the same thing with the next book, and the next, and
the next after that. Three hours later she finished every single book
on the shelf.
"Right.
Next room."
Post 65:
Jade
searched the Manor thoroughly, with Lucius smiling behind her as she
went from room to room, and it was a very large house. At 6:30 in the
evening Lucius left and made some tea.
"Would
you like a cup?" He said, offering out a cup and saucer.
"Thank
you." Jade took the tea and decided to sit down. There was only
one room left in the house; his bedroom. And Jade was avoiding that
at all costs.
She
put the cup to her mouth and glanced at Lucius, he was smiling to
himself. Jade put down the tea with out drinking it.
"May
I borrow an Owl?" Jade asked, getting the Quill and parchment
out of her bag again, starting to scribble furiously.
"Dobby!"
Lucius called.
"Yes,
master!" Dobby squeaked as he scurried into the room.
"Get
the woman an Owl."
"Yes,
Sir!" Dobby ran away and ran back carrying an owl very quickly.
Jade
smiled and tied the parchment to its leg, then sent it out the
window.
"Sorry
about that." Jade smiled. "I just had to write home telling
my friend were I was and to be expecting me home very shortly."
Jade said. "And I also told him to come with an auror squad to
your house if I'm not home in ten minutes." Jade added.
Lucius
just smirked at her.
"Mr.
Malfoy, I'm going to have to search your sleeping Quarters. DOBBY!"
She called.
Dobby
came running back.
"Your
going to come with us now, ok?"
"Of
course, misses!"
So
Jade searched Lucius' room with Dobby standing in the corner,
pleasantly confused, and Lucius leaning on the windowsill, watching
her with his arms crossed.
It
was slightly pathetic, but Jade felt a bit safer knowing the elf was
in the room... even if he was helpless.
At
the end of the day, Jade wanted to cry; she had not found one thing
to prosecute Mr. Malfoy for.
"Well...
thank you for cooperating with the Ministry of Magic. I've completed
my investigation. Do you have any questions at this
time?"
"No."
Dobby
had fetched her cloak and Jade put it on. She left the house very
quickly and apperated home. Sirius was waiting for her.
