Ok I am here with the next chapter (finally) I don't own HP or anything like that, and I have decided that black coats are spiffy. Well… actually I've known that but I decided to state it to the world.

Ok back to the topic, Harry Potter… well more correctly, Lucius Malfoy and family. I hope you all like the chapter and such.

And thank you all for reviewing (and if you haven't may Voldemort curse you)

Okie, have a charming day.

Cruciatus
Neither side moved. Minutes ticked buy till someone with some since (Narcissa) moved forward.

"We weren't expecting you My Lord. Please have a seat and excuse my husband and son as they are being morons." She said as she motioned to a seat behind the mentioned Lord.

Lucius glared at his wife but kept silent. He moved and sat down across from his Lord. Draco looked at both sides, unsure of what to do.

"Come help me in the kitchen Draco." Narcissa said as she guided her son away with a firm hand.

"But mum –" Draco protested as he and his mother left the room.

The group remained quiet. Finally the Lord (Voldemort for the people who haven't figured that out yet…) stood.

"You have the report finished Lucius?" He asked. Lucius nodded and walked over to his bag. After rummaging around in them for a bit he pulled out two sets of parchment.

"One is on the positions of the aurors, that is for you my lord. And the other is about the meeting we had with Fudge today. That one is for McNair." He handed the documents to the intended people and let them scan it over.

"Very well done Lucius, I commemorate you on your thoroughness. I will expect another update in a months time."

"Yes my Lord."

That's when all hell broke loose (well, more so than it already was)

"God damn that bastard!" Shouted McNair as he flung the parchment to the ground. "He can't cut the budget in half!"

"My dear man Calm down." Voldemort said as he slid his wand out of his robe. "Besides, weren't you fired?"

That earned a silence and stifled giggles from Draco who was hiding in the corner.

McNair seethed under the stares that where directed at him.

"You have failed me more than once McNair." Voldemort whispered directing his wand at him. "First you dare to loose your temper in my presence, then you get fired. I have lost yet another contact in the ministry. I swear you are all useless people, the only one still there worth mentioning in Lucius." A pause and a glare, "And who knows how long he is going to last." He then swung his gaze back to McNair. "As for your punishment, I think a bit of pain might do nicely."

McNair cast a helpless stare at the rest of the death eaters, none moved to help him, if anything they seemed to be getting a bit antsy with anticipation.

"Draco, go help your mother." Lucius said; he let out a small sigh as he heard Draco leave the room. Voldemort raised an eyebrow (does he even have one?) in Lucius's direction but said nothing.

"Cruciatus." Voldemort said, not even bothering to put any effort into it. McNair went down screaming, his body twisting into impossible positions, his back arching in pain.

A small smile curved onto the dark lords features as he watched the flailing man.

"Now, the reason I have come here is displayed on the floor. I felt the need to reiterate my self and my power to you all, if any of you even think of leaving – and I know some of you have – I will not be afraid in making you pay." He paused, he eyes landing on Lucius. "In fact I think I will enjoy it as not all of you have been loyal to me." With that he and the other death eaters (including the screaming McNair) disappeared.

TBC
I am terribly sorry for the lack of humor or anything interesting. It's mainly a filler chapter till I decide to actually put something worthwhile up.

Anyway please read and review.
