The Daily Prophet and
The Ministry
The next mornings Daily prophet was dropped on the staff table at Hogwarts in front of Minerva McGonagle. The Head line made her as angry as she had ever been.
Boy who lived missing
Today we received intelligence that Harry Potter the boy who lived and vanguished He who should not be named. Was missing from his muggle relatives Home. Where he has resided for the last four years. His Aunt, Uncle and cousin were also found to be missing. There home was not locked and nothing was touched. When we inquired with the DMLE. They said they knew nothing about it but would investigate. Mr Potter's Magical guardian, Albus Dumbledor Headmaster of Hogwarts, Chief Warlock, and supreme Mugwamp Could not be reached for coment. What has happened to our Savior? This reporter wants to know!
Rita Skeeter Reporting
Minerva was red with anger...she told him...the worst kind of muggles imaginable,,,,they really are!
And he said The only Family he has. He would be better off without his fame..that Harry would be safe. He would see to it...NO more...He has lost my trust. Albus what are you playing at?
Minister fudge's office
Lucious Malfoy walked into the ministers office threw the Daily Prophet on his desk. "Is this how Dumbledor Treats our national hero's? He will the Head of an Ancient And Noble House, He needs to reared in the proper environment. He needs to know the ways of our society. Being raised by muggles. I think its time you took a hand in this Fudge! If you want to stay in office.
Fudge wiped the sweat of his brow, this had been the worst day of his life. Now this...he better play this right or he'd be out of a job. I have Madame Bones looking into this as we speak. I will be releasing the information soon. Excuse me but I must go down to Auror department."
Office of Amelia Bones
Fudge barged in to Amelias Office. He threw the Paper on her desk. "What are you doing about this?
I have half the wizards a witches in Brittan Breathing down my neck. I want that boy found and found now! I will have progress reports on my desk daily or know the Reason why!
"Cornelius We just found out about this last night when Rita Skeeter came to us for a comment. Albus seems to be playing it close to the vest again. It makes it hard on the rest of us! I have twenty of our best on the job. We will find him!
Now go back to your office so I can get to work!"
Potter cottage whales
Remus, Alistor And Arthur, were planning there next move. Alistor stood up and started for the door. Remus spoke up. "Where you off to? "I'm headed for the ministry, gonna poke around the records department see what I can find. Some one that Knew the potter is behind this. After what we learned in Albus office they may meed some help!"
Gringotts office of Ragnok
Ragnok was about to have a bit of fun, he had Dumbledor cooling his heals outside for the last hour. The old Wizard had no patience and what little he did have Ragnok knew was wearing thin. Just a little longer he would say things he didn't mean too.
This old Goblin was one of the few that could rattle the old man.
Dumbledor was just about to leave when Ragnok bid him enter. The old wizard sat down they exchanged pleasantries, Then Dumbledor got down to it. "Ragnok my old friend, I was wondering when the Potter will was read And probated?" The old Goblin got a feral grin. "And Mr Dumbledor, you are not mentioned in that will, It is now on file at the ministry. All I can tell you is all but 2 involved parties have been contacted And the instructions followed To the letter as always. Though with the House of Potter being friends to the Goblin Nation. We found some parts disturbing and we are acting on those. You were a witness to that will. I'm sure Chief Warlock, you understand. Dumbledor was loosing it. "That will was sealed!" Ragnok was close. "Who sealed it, and why? The blood seal was legally broken. Who want to maintain such a seal beyond that? Who would it hurt?" Ragnok Hesitated just a moment. "It is suspicious, That you would be so upset. Did you want it sealed. You did take magical guardianship, how have you raised the boy, he is in your custody is he not?"
Dumbledor was caught flat footed. He couldn't answer the questions, he also had too. This crafty old Goblin some how had set him up. If the will was made public which it would be, Rita Skeeter was on the trail. She would be at the record depart soon. That will names the Potters Secret keeper. That would allow the Black case reopened. That alone could bring down the ministry! He would be implicated. He was the chief warlock, he signed the will, this would be rough to wiggle out of. "It would be better on the boy if he didn't know all this, until he was old enough to deal with it." Ragnok looked Albus. "You know as well as I Albus, that will not wash your digging a deeper hole," Albus replied "Don't you understand its for the Greater good!"
Voldemort Is not dead. Harry is the only one that can defeat him! He must be ready. If he has it easy he will never be able to do what he needs to do!" Ragnok Laughed, "You determine that, so far you have not done well. The boy should have been told and trained, not have his childhood ripped from him.
You have no respect of persons Albus, Our children are treasures not chess pawns for your pleasure! I know it all now and so do others that have been listening. You Shall not know who they are. I hope you burn Albus!"
