Chapter 5: Worry Wards

Last time…

"With a watery smile that didn't reach her eyes, the old woman realized that she had finally arrived at her destination. Bringing the now crying Harry closer to her age-deflated chest, she surveyed her surroundings. A small creek just deep enough to hide in comfort, with a huge grassy hill near it's bank. She could only just see the tip of an enormous white building behind it.

"Hmm that's new," she muttered under her breath getting ready to sleep. 'Those disgusting wizards' she thought distastefully. 'First they take my son's mate and child and then his life! They will pay!' with this last thought of revenge she gave in to an exhausted sleep. Harry curled tightly in her arms still crying silently…"

As the elder mer collapsed into troubled dreams of brunettes and white breads, in the manor far across the hill Lucius Malfoy was rudely awoken by the screaming sound of his property's breached wards.

Muttering a few choice death threats under his breath Malfoy Senior gracefully rolled out of the warm confines of his bed and stumbled towards the corridor. Once safely in the corridor he shut his door firmly and then shouted for a house elf. To add to his growing headache the house elf that appeared in front of him with a crack was none other than Dobby. Dobby the only house elf in the whole of Malfoy Manor that dared to openly hate it's master. Tired and eager to get back to bed, the blond sighed tiredly and didn't bother to call a different more helpful house elf.

Resigned the tall pureblood male proceeded to order the disobedient elf to check the surrounding wards. And with a dismissive nod the short dirty creature was gone. Already knowing that the elf would do a half-arsed job of it but alert him if there is any serious danger. Lucius then went back to bed, but not before making a mental note to check the wards himself at a later time.

A few hours later while eating breakfast with his wife and son, Lucius received an owl from the Ministry of Magic. After releasing the owl of it's burden and opening the letter with a small ivory knife, Lucius then began to read the sweeping small print of the letter. As he progressed through the heavy piece of parchment, his thin blond brow raised slightly higher and higher with every with line he read.

Clearing his throat to catch his family's attention, the older prueblood tells them that he has been summoned for a urgent meeting at the Ministry and most likely will not been returning home tonight.

"But Lucius dear, the Greengrasses are coming over to dine with us tonight. It would be horribly rude if you were to be absent for such an important dinner", said Narcissa as she glared pointedly at her ten-year-old son. As if to say your future wife's family! At that look the boy grimanced slightly, because Malfoys did not dry heave at the table.

"I am terribly sorry my love, but you will have to reschedule for another time, maybe next week", Lucius said apologetically. "Because you are very correct in that such a meeting should not be missed."

He then turned to his son and heir.

"Draco one of the wards surrounding the manor was breached this morning, and as my son and heir I am ordering you to stay inside the building. Until I have scanned the territory and repaired the wards. This includes no friends flooing other because at the moment we are mildly susceptible to attack."

Draco started to rebut him but his father sent him a glare so sharp, it severed his vocal cords leaving his argument to die on his lips. Defeated Draco gave the taller blond a meek "yes Father".

"Good boy" said the noble man with a satisfied tone.

This time addressing both of the other Malfoys Lucius said "Do not worry this matter at the Ministry will not take long, I shall be home by tomorrow night at the very latest. Once I arrive home my first action will be to check the wards, so both of you arrange your plans for after then."

With these parting words the Lord of the Malfoy house kissed his wife and headed towards the fireplace. Then with a green flash the man was gone, leaving the other blonds to enjoy their breakfasts in peace.

Contrary to Lucius's words the went for two long weeks and during this time the Ministry of Magic had it's largest meeting since the defeat of Voldemort. Which was coincidently about the exact same topic as this time and that topic was about the fabled Boy Who Lived. But instead of celebration the meeting was full of anxious worry for the lost Saviour. Unknown the that Lucius as he threw insult after insult at Dumbledore's stupidity, the very thing he was arguing about was about to be found by his own son very soon.
