"You couldn't have come up with a better plan?" Arthur Weasley asked, as he smoothed down the pink skirt of his dress.
"You're drawing attention to yourself," Mad-Eye Moody's voice grunted from behind the bench, making Arthur squirm. "Stop trying to find me," he warned, placing his large hand down on Arthur's shoulder, making him jump.
"No one liked this plan less that Sirius," Remus piped up, as he ran his hand over his beard.
"Sirius is in no position to protest," Mad-Eye responded ending the matter.
Remus and Arthur sat on a bench in a crowded muggle park in London, cloaked under poly juice potion. Arthur taking the form of an attractive woman with long wisps of golden hair and Remus a plump man with a dark beard. May-Eye Moody hovered behind them invisible due to the Disillusionment Charm.
It took a whole night of arguing for the Order to decide that it just wasn't safe to have a known Death Eater come to headquarters, and as much wasn't safe from Voldemort, this was their agreed upon meeting place. As much as Sirius argued to come along, there was no way they could risk it, coming disguised as someone else under poly juice potion wasn't safe as Sirius could rarely control his anger around Snape, and would undoubtedly draw attention to their group, and he couldn't come as an animagus and risk being spotted. So to the satisfaction of Mad-Eye, and the dismay of Sirius, he stayed behind.
"They should be here soon," Remus commented, glancing down at his watch.
"I was never aware of the breeze women get, it's quiet refreshing," Arthur voiced, as he watched his skirt flap in rhythm with the light breeze.
"You're a lady, act like one," Mad-Eye grunted.
There was a moment of silence, then from a distance they stopped Lucius Malfoy approaching with a tall man. The pair made their way over to the bench and took a seat on the other side of Remus.
"The park is filled with muggles, would you not agree?" Lucius asked, looking pointedly at Remus.
"I would have to agree Lucius," Remus replied, letting out a breath, relieved that Lucius had made the precaution to say their agreed upon phrase, before launching into the disclosed topic.
"Were you not instructed to arrive in a disguise?" Arthur spoke up, his dislike for Lucius clear on the face of the woman he was disguised as, giving away who he was.
"I hardly see the point, if you are more comfortable as a woman Arthur, than I see no reason to deny you that pleasure," Lucius responded, his nose turning up.
"Perhaps, we can move on to the matter at hand," the man beside Lucius spoke up.
He was tall and muscular and had a very handsome face that was framed with brown hair. Yet the familiar drawl - even cloaked under the voice of another, exposed that the other man was Severus Snape.
"Yes, ironic isn't it Arthur, that you would come to me for help regarding one of your children?" Lucius ginned, as his fingers tapped the top of his cane.
Arthur's face turned red and he stood up from the bench, only to be pushed back down by an invisible Mad-Eye.
"The sooner we get to the point, the sooner we can all leave," Remus declared, fixing Lucius with a pointed look.
"Remus Lupin, always the voice of reason, is it safe to be out with a full moon approaching?" Lucius commented, his lips curling in disgust.
"Lucius-" Severus warned.
"Yes, well unfortunately for you both, I don't know what happened to Ginevra Dunham," Lucius stated.
"Lucius she is my little girl-"Arthur stated, but Mad-Eye wacked him on the back, and Arthur took the hint and stayed quiet.
Severus and Lucius both regarded Arthur with confused looks, as neither knew Mad-Eye Moody was standing behind them.
"As I said before-"Lucius started, as he regarded the head on his cane as if the whole situation was boring him, "I don't know where Ginevra is, although I saw her a few times after her mysterious disappearance. Where she is now is a complete mystery to me."
"You saw her after she disappeared?" Remus asked, disbelief washing over his face.
"Yes, she and Regulus Black made quite a few mysterious visits to the Dark Lord," Lucius responded.
Severus shifted beside Lucius, his face as pale as Remus's at Lucius's words.
"Surely Regulus would have told me had he been with Ginevra," Snape muttered, skepticism apparent on his face.
"Why because the two of you did homework together in the library?" Lucius laughed. "Severus my old friend, you're as naive now as you were back then when it comes to Ginevra Dunham."
"What do you mean?" Remus asked.
"I mean Ginevra had a plan, an agenda that I'm sure not even Regulus knew, one day the two of them went out together, then Regulus returned that night alone. The Dark Lord told us all he himself killed Regulus, that Regulus was unfaithful – but I was there when Regulus returned without Ginevra, he was poisoned. I never understood why the Dark Lord lied, but that was the last day I saw Ginevra," Lucius uttered.
"So she's dead, he killed my daughter," Arthur murmured, barely above a whisper.
"He didn't," Severus, answered in apprehension.
"He didn't," Lucius agreed, nodding his head. "Because he hasn't stopped looking for her either."
