A/N: Hey everyone, hope everything's going good and your having a good day. So last time I left you with a little bit of a cliffhanger ending, well it's time to see what happens. Now without further ado, on with the story!

"We are gathered here today to recognize the signing and acceptance of a familial binding magical marriage contract. This contract has been passed through generations for the pass five years, and it was one generation away from becoming void. This union today will fulfill the contract and its requirements. You arrived as two separate families, and you will leave as a united whole, one family. It is time to sign." The man finished and a paper appeared on the table.

Only two signatures were needed to sign the rest of their independent lives away and nobody could interfere. Even knowing there was no other option, Daphne waited as long as she could before signing on the line. LeStrange signed his name in his appointed spot before turning his head to look at her.

Resolved to what she had to do, she took a last glance at Harry, who was right next to where he landed on all fours trying to catch his breath while nodding to something Tracey had said. Taking a deep breath she turned back to the paper, readying herself to basically sign her life away to LeStrange.

Picking up the quill that was siting on the table waiting for her, she dipped it in the ink jar before moving it to hover over the appointed line. She brought the quill down and signed her name. Well tried to sign her name. She would write her name out but the ink wouldn't appear on the paper.

Clearly frustrated, LeStrange snapped, "Try again!" Not sure what was happening, she dipped the quill in the ink again before trying to sign her name again. Just like last time, she wrote out her name as she normally would but the ink just wouldn't appear on the paper.

"No no no no no." LeStrange muttered quickly clearly unhappy. "AGAIN!" He shouted, trying to get her to try again.

"If it didn't work the first two times it's not going to work at all." Alexandra remarked.

"But it should've worked! There's no reason it shouldn't have!" LeStrange insisted as the three Greengrasses exchanged looks, concerned of what he may do.

"I can think of one." Came a voice from behind them. They all turned seeing the source of the voice, a now standing Harry Potter. "Magic knows things even people don't." He smirked.

"You're going to pay Potter! This is your fault!" LeStrange shouted at Harry.

"Don't blame me. It's not my fault that magic can recognize lies. Honestly I wasn't sure it could. What just happened only solidifies the fact that it can." Harry stated simply as he walked closer to the gazebo.

"What the hell are you on about?!" LeStrange demanded, too wrapped up in his anger to put the pieces together for himself.

"You're so upset that you can't even see that all of this is because of your eagerness. This failure is on you. If you had, say maybe waited longer, maybe the magic would've recognized it as valid or maybe I just wouldn't have been able to come on such short notice. But no, you waited all of three days." Harry taunted.

"What the HELL ARE YOU ON ABOUT?!" LeStrange screamed.

"Wow, you can't figure it out yet can you?" Harry taunted as he continued to walk closer. "That meeting you had with Cyrus? Well he may not be able to lie, but he can only say as much as he actually knows. Or for a better of fact, what Daphne knows. You see LeStrange, what Daphne didn't know is that our magic didn't recognize our split. And frankly I didn't know it either until quite recently." Harry continued.

"What?" Cyrus questioned.

"He lied. The reason they broke up was based on a lie, one he knew he was telling and more importantly, one their magic knew he was telling even if Daphne herself didn't." Tracey interjected.

"NO! NO! I will not fail my lord. You will pay Potter. She's mine! I will ruin you using her! You breaking up thinking you were protecting her only led to giving us your greatest weakness. The dark lord will find her quite useful!" LeStrange carried on, not evening caring about what he said. He was going to ruin Potter, to take him down once for all. Pulling his wand he pointed it at Harry with a curse about to leave his lips.

"Flipendo!" Came a voice from the side of LeStrange causing him to be flung into one of the pillars of the gazebo. Everyone, shocked seeing LeStrange slam into a marble pillar turned whipped there heads to the source of the spell. Daphne was looking pleased with her wand in her hand.

"I've been waiting to be able to do that." Daphne's voice rang out asking no one in particular causing everyone to snap out of their shock.

"So… now what?" Tracey asked from her spot on Harry's left.

"Now I call in a little favor with the minister." Harry looked at LeStrange who was still on the ground. "I think we just found a new source of information." He grinned.

In The Minister's Office

"So he A, assaulted you without being provoked, he B, admitted to working with Voldemort who need I remind you is a known murderer and C, did all of this just to get back at you?" Amelia listed.

"Pretty much yeah." Harry confirmed.

"Alright, well I think he'll actually be helpful. We'll check him for the mark, and question him." Amelia informed him.

"You think he'll actually answer any questions?" Harry inquired with a raised eyebrow and a cocked head.

"I can be very persuasive." She stated with a straight face. Chuckling, Harry nodded.

"Okay, well thank you. Our problems just seem to keep adding up."

"Well we might've just found a solution to one of them." Amelia stated grabbing Harry's attention.

"What'd you mean?" Harry asked curiously.

"I didn't want to tell you useless we knew it would work but you should know. I have a friend in the Department of Mysteries, Croaker. He thinks that if we have enough people that have the Dark Mark we can reverse the signal." She informed him.

"Reverse the signal?" He questioned skeptical.

"So when Voldemort calls his death eaters, he uses the mark. He uses it to find them or to alert them, and whatever else. We don't even know the full capabilities of the mark. So if we can reverse we might be able to possibly find other death eaters." Amelia continued.

"It's all on the same channel. It could lead us right to them." Harry realized putting the pieces together. Amelia nodded and grinned in response.

"Oh Harry, by the way, nice acting out there today. Everything played out exactly as expected." Amelia praised him. "Look, I know you weren't a fan of this idea in the first place and playing two games at the same time isn't easy. So I want to thank you, what you did I know it was hard but it got us one step closer." She continued.

"You're right, it's not easy. Keeping things from them, people who are close to me and trust me isn't easy nor fair to them. But Alexandra signed off on it… this time. I'm just saying, I understand the need for this… cloak and dagger, for the lying and I'll do it but that doesn't mean I have to like it. I just understand the need for it. But let me make one thing clear, I do not ever want to become like Dumbledore, clear?" He stressed.

"Crystal, and what we're doing-." She paused and gestured between them before continuing "-is nothing like what he does. We are working to end this. Your friends would understand that." She assured.

"Hope you're right. I gotta go but talk to you soon Amelia." Harry bided her a goodbye and a quick hug before using her floo and vanishing in a fury of flames.

Amelia left her office once the fire returned to normal and made her way to the Department of Magical Law Enforcement. Arriving, she entered the Department and headed straight to the Directors office.

"Hello Minister Bones, the Director is in office." The woman at the desk outside the office informed her. Nodding Amelia continued not even bothering to knock she opened the door and headed straight in closing it behind her.

"Amelia, what do I owe this honor?" Gawain Robards, the director of the DMLE, asked.

"Robards, I need to interrogate LeStrange." Amelia informed him.

"Well, technically no member of the Ministry who is not in the DMLE or Auror branch should not be allowed to. But… with the new bill pass and Croakers theory, and the fact you're the minister, I'm willing to bend protocol. I trust you remember where interrogation room Alpha is?" Robards remarked. Nodding Amelia thanked him before turning and leaving the room. Closing the door behind her she went off in the direction of the aforementioned room.

Reaching it, she entered the viewing room first to take a look at the preliminary information. Aurors had already been into the room before.

Name - Rabastan LeStrange

Aurors on Point – Kingsley Shacklebolt & Nymphadora Tonks

Findings – LeStrange was very unwilling to answer questions or speak other than to insult or degrade others and in room Aurors. Having no choice, had to forcefully check his arm for mark. Mark was visible and he seemed thrown when we found it just by lifting his sleeve. It appears he was not aware of the new enchantments. Would not admit anything that we didn't already have.

Veritaserum – False

Legilimency – False

Recommended – Further questioning using all resources within protocol acceptance.

"If Kingsley and Tonks were on point for this one than Dumbledore probably already knows whatever they did manage to get." Amelia cursed under her breath. Sighing, she closed the file and picked up the one next to it. Not opening it, she took the file and left the viewing room before entering room Alpha, where LeStrange was sitting in a chair on one side of a table.

"How are you this fine day LeStrange?" Amelia asked pleasantly.

"Not so great. I've been wronged more times than I can count just today alone." He replied innocently.

"Must not be that many times then." Amelia remarked. "Now, you were found with the dark mark on your arm. What do you have to say to defend yourself?" She questioned.

"I was forced to get it under the imperius." He explained not even hesitating.

"So you don't follow Voldemort? You are not a death eater?" She pushed.

"No, I am not." LeStrange assured. He had just said exactly what Amelia needed him too.

"Wonderful, then I have all I need for now. Based on this, I believe you have a high chance of going fre-." She was cut off.

"As I should be, I'm glad someone has come to their senses around here." He smiled.

"Oh you didn't let me finished, what I was going to say was, in at least fifteen years, probably more." She finished barely restraining a grin when she saw his face.

"WHAT!? You can't do that!" He protested.

"Oh but I can because let me tell you something LeStrange, you already admitted to exactly what I needed you too. I am well aware of what you said earlier in Lord Potter's presence." She remarked.

"You're going to believe some brat?! He's lying!"

"No he's not, you are. Just so you know, I'm not like the last two ministers. The imperius excuse will not hold up, because I am well aware of the fact that the mark has to be taking willingly. So I suggest you find another argument." She finished swiftly and picked up the file and left the room.

Returning to the viewing room, Amelia watched LeStrange through the one way wall. He was clearly unhappy and angry. Putting the file back down on the table, she went over to the table in the corner of the room that had a Quote Quill and parchment on it. It was connected to the interrogation room and took note of everything said in the room. That paired with the evidence of what was said at the gazebo was enough to get LeStrange sent to goblin custody.

So far, they had fifteen death eaters in goblin custody from places and positions all around the ministry. The majority of which were those that weren't able to be notified to get out before the ministry was put on lockdown after the Wizengamot for the search. Croaker said that he could begin working out how to reverse the magic signature on the dark mark within the week, he just needed to finish researching information of the matter.

Leaving the viewing room with the necessary files and scripts in hand, Amelia went back to Robards office. Entering the office, no words were exchanged, she dropped off the files and transcripts before exchanging nods and then leaving the office, in route to her own office.

They just got one step closer to taking care of parts of Voldemort's circle.

A/N: Hello everyone, first of all I want to thank all of you for the support, it means a lot. Secondly, just want to let you know, the poll is still open up on my profile, vote if you want to way in on what I write next. Now finally, I know some of you think of the Harry/Daphne break up was just unneeded and drama for the sake of drama but if you understood some of the underlying things in the conversation between Harry and Amelia then you might see why it was necessary, it added a few new layers to what's really going on. Anyway, happy reading and hope you enjoyed! -DS
