Sirius knew something was definitely going on and was worried it was a trap but he had no idea what else to do. He had learned that the ministry was going to make a raid on Malfoy Manor. Though Lucius had been pardoned from all of his crimes during the war which would have covered his taking of Harry, the minister seemed to have been told that there were some goods and prisoners still being held within the manor. Lucius could not be arrested for it for the actual crime he was pardoned for but Cornelius was crumbling under the pressure for the media had been hit with the news and families who had lost members were demanding to find out if their loved ones were actually alive and if they were, to have them returned. Sirius had of course had advanced warning as the aurors were planning the raid and he knew that he needed to get to Malfoy Manor. He was not sure why but he had a feeling that Albus was behind this, unsure of how the man had found out that Harry was alive or might have been alive. But he knew they needed to consider taking Harry some where else and quickly.
He left for Malfoy manor using the old portkey which Lucius had returned to him after the incident which had put Harry in danger. They had known it was the safest way for him to travel there without being noticed. Remus would never have been questioned going for he was known to be with Severus who of course practically lived with the Malfoys over the years because of his friendship with Lucius and how he was like a second dad to Draco. They were also of course making the excuse that since Draco was home they had been helping tutor him which was not lie of course but they had also been working with Harry. They would not trust Harry with potions just yet but Severus had been teaching him about his wandless magic.
He found that Lucius as well as Severus and Remus were there and they were in the library working with the boys. Harry, Jade he kept trying to remind himself, noticed him first and while he did not get upset any more he was still very reluctant to allow any contact with him. It was from the sudden physical reaction of Jade which drew everyone else's attention to him.
Sirius motioned the adults to come join him and explained what was going on. "I don't know how the man knows but we need to take Harry out of here."
Lucius knew he could not refuse the aurors access to the manor. "We can't take him to school any more, there has to be some where we can hide him."
Remus suggested his cottage for no one knew that Sirius had bought the place for him again. The wards there were strong, though not for permanent use. They could get Harry there easily enough they thought and when the aurors were gone they could bring him back to the manor. Lucius had other homes in the UK but they had no idea if the ministry was going to search the other homes as well.
Lucius bent down and kissed his precious on the head. "I need you to go with your Uncle Moony for a while Jade. I need you to go to safety."
Jade shook his head. "I don't want to leave you, you be in danger again."
Shaking his head Lucius explained it was not like last time, Jade was the one in danger this time and not Lucius. If Jade was here when the men came he would be taken way from Lucius and they would never see each ether again. He hated scaring Jade but he needed Jade to go willingly this time, remembering what had happened when Sirius had come. Jade usually was so obedient and sweet but when it came to the safety of those he loved; he tended to be willing to protest things. But where Sirius may not have been a risk to Jade, there was no doubt that Albus was.
Jade was still anxious and worried but Draco went to work assuring Jade he would be in. His Uncle Moony would make sure that he was safe and he would be back here in a few hours and they would have dinner together.
Remus came over to him and collected him into his arms. "I promise you will be home with Lucius and Draco in a few hours. You can come and see my home."
Jade looked up at him and over at Severus. "Spinner's End?"
They knew that Jade remembered having been there and they considered it but Remus shook his head. The headmaster knew where the home was and considering they knew that he found out about Harry they were worried he would have a way into the home. They needed to take Harry some where Albus would not think to look. The cottage had an unplottable charm on it and several other charms besides which made it as safe nearly as Spinner's End.
Lucius kissed his brow and handed him his books. "You go and read or work on your studies with your Uncle and I promise I will be safe."
When Remus and Jade were gone Sirius turned. "I need to head back. I m going to be on the team sent to come here."
When they were gone Lucius sunk down into a seat. There was nothing to be worried about he told himself. He of course did not have any prisoners or dark objects around here for the aurors to find. H had once been forced to store them for Voldemort but they had been returned when he had been given back to the monster. He was anxious to get this over with and when Moody led the aurors in he was surprised how easily Lucius was willing to let them search but said nothing. Lucius just did not like leaving Jade where he was and wanted to retrieve him as soon as possible.
Alastor turned to him. "Our apologies Lord Malfoy but we got out information from a source we could not refuse to over look."
When they were gone he turned to Severus and Draco. "We need to bring him back; I have a bad feeling about this. Something is wrong."
