A/N Thank you all for the reviews. Harry Potter is not mine, this is a story from a fan.

Umbridge opened her mouth to speak but this time an Irate Tracy stopped her. "No, you do not say anything. This has been the second time my Client has been accused of something he has not done". It was now that Tracy turned her murderous gaze ad Fudge when she said. "So either you put a muzzle on the toad or I will charge her with Line theft. Because she wanted to throw the ass of Lord Potter into Azkaban without giving him a fair trial".
Fudge had to think for a moment and before Umbridge could say another thing he stopped her. "Sorry miss Umbridge, but you will only speak when you are called. No more interruptions and no more calling names". Umbridge spluttered but kept her mouth when she saw Bogrod stand up from his chair.)
(BSC 5 C15) C142 Will, they ever learn 3.
The moment Umbridge saw Bogrod stand up from the Potter chair she started to turn white. The first thing she thought was that he would come for her and chop off her head because that is what Goblins do. When she saw Bogrod walk out of the chamber she let out a breath of relief.
Every eye followed Bogrod as he walked out and the friends knew why he would be doing it. While they all were looking at the members just to see who was in the know Harry looked up at Wing and Arnold. What he saw made him smile because they were just sitting there like every other reporter as they were writing things down. It was something they didn't talk about so it surprised him a little and he liked it.
When Bogrod walked back in Tracy took her chance and turned to minister Fudge and the Auror. "Well, now that Bogrod is back, we can start this witch hunt because Lord Potter has better things to do then to be here".
Fudge wanted to respond but Augusta stood and said in a clear voice. "Here, Here I second that motion because I have better things to do then to be here".
Fudge turned to her and nodded at the look she gave him. Slowly he turned to Tracy and picked up the stack of papers he had in front of him. "We are here to place judgment".
"No, we are not. We are here to see if you can make a case that proves the guilt of Lord Harry James Potter. You have done none of that so there is no judgment. And If I hear it one more time I will ask Amelia to place the whole Witangemot under arrest of line theft" Luna screamed in a voice that was clear and full of venom.
Fudge just gazed at her as she pointed her finger at him. "I told you ones before when I said you could have fooled me. But the more you say the more this thing turns into a witch hunt like the old days".
Fudge wanted to splutter but he took a deep breath as he looked down at the paper he had in his hand. "Right, We are here today to see if Lord Potter is guilty of performing magic in the presence of Muggles or not. We have evidence that he did. and it is something we will present to all of you in a moment. If Lord Potter is found guilty, he will be guilty of performing underage magic, and of preforming magic in the presence of Muggles". When Fudge was done his eyes drifted over to Tracy to see if she wanted to object. To his surprise, she wasn't looking at him but writing something down. When he saw her showing it to Harry he had to frown when he saw him laughing and nodding.
Fudge was a little taken back when he got no reaction. And had to think hard on how to go on. He had a quick look at Umbridge and Lucius but he knew they would not help him. "Now, let me tell you what happened on the night in question".
Tracy stood and waited before she got the floor. "If you do start the whole story then please do it from the start. I would like to hear when the report came in and when but most of all how you were convinced that it was my client who did it".
"I only have the report," Fudge said as he looked down.
"Does the report tell when and who saw the monitoring charm go off, you know the one that shows magic in a muggle area?" Stacy told him with a pointed look.
Fudge looked through the whole paper he had in his hands and shook his head.
"So, you are accusing my client without any real proof of the time it happened and who took the first report. I know that my client was informed by letter But it only told him why and that he was expelled from Hogwarts. It never said anything about a time it happened or a place it all supposedly happened. Now it did say the place it happened but not the where. Yes, it does say the town but not the where. It is like doing magic in Diagon Alley. But then again Diagon Alley is big so you would want to know where. The only other thing that was in the letter was that he had done magic in front of a muggle. So I would like to hear all of the story, and not what is handy for you and the ones who want to bring him down".
Fudge gazed up and did what he had to do. "I will go and find all of those papers while we take a lunch break" and he rushed out of the chamber.
While the members started to go back to the Ministerial restaurant, Amelia went to Harry and asked him why Albus hadn't shown himself.
"Why are you asking me," He asked in a surprising way.
Amelia just looked at him as she pulled her wand from her sleeve. "Now you are going to tell me mister or you won't be sitting for a week".
Harry turned around and looked for Isabella. He didn't see her but he saw his granma Mini, with a pouted look he said. "Grandma, Amelia is mean to me and she wants to punish me with stinging hexes".
AAAAUUUUUWWWW. "That is for telling on me" Amelia laughed as she threw a stinging hex at the backside of Harry.
Harry turned back to her. AAAUUUWWW. "And that one is for whining," Minerva told him with a smile. "And now just tell her what she wants to know".
Harry smiled back. "Well, Zanita is keeping him busy for a couple of hours. We know that this is live on the wireless and we also know that he will be here when he can get away from Zanita. So she will keep him busy until Tracy has won the battle and he can do no damage".
Amelia nodded and turned around as she walked away laughing hard.
"What was that all" Harry called after her.
Amelia turned back around. "Yes, that is all".

Hermione gazed up and knew that this was not part of there plans. When the fire was out they would go in and nobody would be there. So what was this woman talking about?
"Please sit down miss".
"Hermione, my name is Hermione Granger".
"Miss, Granger. I do not know how to say this but we did find two bodies in the back of the house".)
(BSC 5 C15) C142 Will, they ever learn 3.
Hermione looked up and was too stunned to say anything. Bella who was sitting next to her spoke up. "Miss, How did they die".
The policewoman frowned a little when she heard Bella asking that particular question. Why would she want to know how the most likely parents of her friend died. It was then that she realized why Bella had asked it. "I could not tell you exactly but we know that it was painless. The smoke has put them to sleep before they died".
Bella nodded but if she was honest she would have to say that, that was not what she wanted to know. She knew that the Death Eaters had attacked the home and that the two who had past were two other people. "Thank you miss, is there anything we can do because I would like to help my friend to my home so she can deal with her loss".
The woman asked them to stay so she could go and ask. after a moment she came back and spoke in a clear voice. "If you can tell me where you are staying, then I can let you go. We do need to speak with you some more but for now, this is all we need. When we are done I will come to you and bring you here to sort out everything. If you have other family members then please contact them so they can help you".
Hermione who was still sniffing at her onion snifted with teary eyes as she nodded.
Bella told her where she used to live and was glad that her mother hadn't sold the house. Their cats were still keeping an eye on the Dursley's for them. So they needed a place to stay. The only thing Bella had to do now was to contact Harry and hope that he would have a solution for this mess the Death Eaters had given them.
The one thing they knew for sure was that Emma and Dan were still alive. So that was a good thing. Who the two were that had been found dead in the house was a mystery to both of them. It was also something that had to stay a mystery for a little while longer. The only thing Hermione was hoping was that it wasn't someone they knew.

It was an hour later that every member walked back into the Witenagemot. Tracy sat down in her chair with Harry next to her and Luna on her other side. They were waiting on Fudge and knew that he was in a lot of trouble because his whole case was going up in smoke if he did not have any solution to his problem. The smug smile Tracy had, unsettled a lot of people in the seats around them. Most of them were from the dark side of the Witenagemot. Like always a lot of them were hoping for the downfall of Potter. Still, the smile on the face of Tracy Davis was fighting them. The serene look on the face of Luna was even more frightening to a lot of them. She had a face that said nothing at all.
It was almost twenty minutes later that Fudge walked into the chamber. He had a smile on his face that was so big that the smile of Tracy vanished a second later. This had been the one thing Fudge saw and his smile became even bigger, they didn't know how it got that big but it did.
Fudge walked to his place and placed another stack of papers on his little desk. As his eyes found the eyes of Tracy he tapped his papers and told her in a clear voice that he had what she wanted.
Tracy frowned a little while she started to panic by the look of Fudge. Harry saw it and grabbed her hand. She gazed at him and he shook his head as he pulled her closer to him. "Don't let him get to you. Just smile and let him think there is nothing wrong. When we were placed in a corner we too were afraid that all would go to hell. Yet somehow they always screw it up in one way or another. Just listen to them and listen real hard because that is where they will make their mistakes because that is where they always do it".
Tracy nodded but her eyes were still worried. "Harry is right you know, just listen and the bumbling fool will make his mistake".
"Are you sure?" Tracy asked in a worried tone.
"Yes, because I know that there is pudding," Luna told her.
Tracy rolled with her eyes as she gazed back at Fudge. It did unnerve Fudge a little as he cleared his throat. "Wel as asked by the defense, and I still don't know why. But I did and I have gathered all the papers about the accusing".
"Now don't start that again. Just tell us about the events of the night how it started and how you all came to the conclusion that Lord Potter was the one who did it" Tracy screamed as Fudge was about to put the blame on Harry for another time.
"See, She said it her self, she clearly said That Lord Potter was the one who did it" Umbridge screamed from her seat.
Tracy wanted to speak but before she could utter a word she was stopped by Luna who dreamily lifted her wand as she pointed it at Umbridge and said "Sylentio". Everyone turned their attention to Luna. "We said she had to keep her mouth shut and she was only allowed to speak when she was spoken to. Still, it is clear she doesn't listen so we just had to shut her up. None of you are going to release her from it or You will all be removed and your votes will not be counted".
Fudge lifted his wand to release Umbridge from the spell when Amelia spoke up. "Minister, you yourself did say she would be removed if she spoke again without being asked for her opinion. So you do not release her or she will be removed".
"Expeliarmus" Luna said as she saw Umbridge lifting her own wand. "Tut... Tut... Tut" Lune told her while she wiggled her finger at Umbridge. "You are a bad witch. You sit down and listen or you will be charged with obstruction and line theft".
As Fudge was about the splutter Luna just told him to go on because they didn't have all day. As Fudge wanted to object Amelia told him the same thing and Fudge just nodded as he knew he would not win if he went against it. So with slumped shoulders, he gazed back at his papers and started to read.
"Wednesday night two weeks ago there was an alarm that went off in the chamber of magical monitoring. It is there that we the ministry monitor the muggle world for magical fluxions that are not accounted for". Fudge was deliberately using big words just to throw off Tracy. He was counting on the fact of her still being in Hogwarts that she would go with him as if he knew best".
"So, in other words, you are still trying to skip over a lot of facts. We all know that the monitoring charms for the magic in the muggle world gave a warning that there has been magic performed in the muggle world. It still doesn't tell us why you blamed Lord Potter" Tracy snapped at him when she realized what Fudge was doing.
Fudge was startled but gazed around him and especially at Lucius in the hope he would let him.
"Don't look away from us you bumbling fool" Luna screamed as all of her dreaminess disappeared from her voice. "Let's get it all done because you are clearly dragging it on just so you can win without getting the blame like you always get".
"I never".
"No, you never think and that is why we call you a bumbling fool" Luna told him. "We all know that when Magic is preformed in a muggle part of Britain, which is almost all of Britain. There is an alarm that goes off in the monitoring chamber of misuse of magic. Now you're clearly using big words where you yourself do not know the meaning of, just to get us confused but it will not work. Now the question is simple. Who saw Lord Potter do magic. Who were the Muggles that saw him do that Magic? Who was the Magic-user that witness the performers of Magic by Lord Potter? But most of all why did the misuse of Magic Office labeled Lord Potter as the offender because the only thing they would now is that there has been Magic done in that area but not by who.".
Fudge was looking at Luna with an open mouth. He was starting to splutter but to the surprise of all, he did answer the questions in the order he was to do it. "The Magic that was done in little Whinging. Now according to the records, the only living Magical user in that area is Harry Potter".
"That is Lord Potter" Tracy snapped.
"A yes, Lord Potter I mean. The magic was seen by two muggles and two wizards" And that was where Fudge stopped and folded up his paper.
"Not so fast Minister" According to your papers, who did it you say were the wizards who did the witnessing".
"The two Wizards that were witness of the Magic would like to remain anonymous".
As most of the members were looking on you could clearly see that their minds were clearly thinking what the hell is he talking about. Never in the time of the Witangemot had there been a witness that wanted to remain anonymous. Augusta stood and waited for Fudge to recognize her. "Lady Longbottom," he said the floor is yours.
"Minister Fudge you either tell us who these witnesses were or this whole appearance of the Witangemot will be stopped at this point. The case if you think you have any will be stopped and thrown out".
If Fudge was smart he would stop it right there and cut his losses. "I'm sorry, Lady Longbottom, The witnesses were Lord Lucius and Professor Snape".
The eyes of Tracy became big when she heard the names as Harry gazed at Luna and both of them smile as Lune said. "And there we have the Bumbling fool screwing it all up yet again".
Tracy hung to Harry and luna as she whispered. "Those are the two that hate you the most. So by being there, they could blame you because you used to live there. I know that you do not live there and you haven't been living there for the last three years. So I now have to wait for another mistake and strike when I can".
Harry placed his hands behind his head as he slumped down in his chair with a smile on his face. Tracy just smiled at Luna because they knew Harry would trust them completely from now on.
"So, Malfoy and Snape were there on that night. Are they willing to tell us all about that night or not" Augusta said while she gazed at Lucius who was sitting back in his chair.
Narcissa who had been wondering why Hermione had gone away and if Emma and Dan were still okay gazed at her husband and had to smile. She wasn't sure why he was there but she could think of something and that was something she did not do with him anymore. As she saw how Fudge was asking him if he wanted to tell his part she felt a hand on her arm. "Miss, do you think they will show this on the adult channel".
The head of Narcissa snapped to the side as her eyes found the Asian eyes of a woman that had been sitting next to her the whole time. "Adult channel," Narcissa asked.
"Yes like the one I have in my hotel room," the woman asked as she lifted one of her professional depilated eyebrows.
"Emma" Narcissa whispered very softly. (Emma) nodded and Narcissa had to do everything to keep herself from flinging herself at Emma. She did take her hand and held it softly.
Nolwenn saw it and smiled because she could see how relieved Narcissa was and became a little jealous as she looked at the hands of Emma and Narcissa. The other thing she did hear was the adult Channel and her mind took over from there as she started to fantasize about her and Narcissa in a couple of positions.
*#*
Fudge had seen nothing of the things that went on in the visiting area and was only looking at Lucius. They had discussed the possibility that he had to testify but never like this. The one thing they never wanted was that Snape would have to tell his story, but the more Fudge thought about it the more it looked like he had to.
Lucius stepped down from his spot and started to make his way to the floor. Fudge was looking worried and Amelia had a face that screamed of joy. It was clear to most of them that she would be asking the questions and she could ask whatever she wanted. The only obstacle they had left was Fudge. When Lucius was standing before Fudge he gave him a nod as he sat down in his own conjured chair. "Minister Fudge, go ahead and ask your questions," he said in a slimy voice.
Just as Fudge was about to ask his first Question Amelia stepped in. "Minister, we all know that you and Mr. Malfoy are really good friends so you can not be asking the questions".
Fudge gazed at her with a lot of anger. "If I'm not allowed to ask any questions then neither are you".
"What".
"Everybody knows that your house is aligned with the house of Potter, meaning you are as close to Potter as I am to Lucius".
Amelia turned around and sat down next to luna and Harry while she was mumbling about A Bumblingfool that was right.
"Every Bumblingfool has to have one clear moment, sometime," Luna told her.
Amelia turned to her, "Yes I know the do, but why does he have to do it on a day I do not want him to do it".
Luna just smiled at her as she turned to Minister Fudge. "You know what minister, why don't you point out somebody and let them asked the questions. We will object if we have something we want to know or something we want to clarify for everyone and our selves".
"Then I will call my undersecretary to asked the questions" Before Tracy could object Umbridge was already standing next to Fudge nodding to him that she excepted the tasked. Tracy threw Luna a dirty look but Luna just smiled at her while Harry frowned a little. He was remembering the talk he had with the old Veela and knew that Luna was the one she was talking about or at least he thought she was.
"Mr, Malfoy, Tell us, did you see any dementors on that night" she started after she was released from the spell she was under.
Malfoy smiled and shook his head. "No, I did not. It was a clear evening and I'm sure there were no Dementors".
Umbridge turned to the members and with a smug look, she said. "You all heard it for your self. It was a clear night and there were no Dementors anywhere".
Tracy stood and narrowed her eyes at Umbridge. "Tell me, Miss Umbridge. If there were no Dementors then why would someone call on a patronus to help them".
Umbridge looked at Tracy and gave her a sadistic smile. "How should I know why Potter would ask for a Patronus. I would say he wanted the attention and now that we got him he is hoping for his fame to get him out of here".
"So according to you, Lord Potter was only doing this for the attention".
"Yes, that is the way he is, if you don't see it then that is not my problem".
While Umbridge was talking Lucius started to get to his feet. "Mr, Malfoy. I still have some questions for you so please sit down. The only reason why I'm talking to this person is that she only asked what she wanted to hear. I want to know if all the Dementors were accounted for".
"You Bitch" Umbridge screamed again. "The Dementors are controlled by the ministry and they do not go on a camping trip".
"Don't you call me Bitch, you stuck up piece of shit. If you really think that I believe that shit you are shoveling then think again. The ministry didn't control the Dementors when they got into Hogwarts at two different times. And when they got in the last time one of the twelve had ordered them to go in. Now it has never been proven".
"Are you saying that I did it?" Umbridge told her as she pointed her finger at Tracy.
"I'm not saying anything, but you are not listening and like always jumping to conclusions. But for you to attack me like this makes me think you did. Still, I can't prove it like you can't prove that there were no Dementors. So the one thing I really would like to know is why Mr, Malfoy was walking in a muggle area".
"That is not the point why we are here" Umbride called out.
Tracy just had to smile because she could see some of the members starting to whisper with each other. The was Umbridge had reacted was something no one wanted. "Well, I think it does. I for one want to know why Mr. Malfoy was in a muggle neighborhood. For one we all know he hates Muggles. Secondly, he always said he never wanted to be seen with them. Now, however, of all the days he was seen with Muggles, he was seen in the neighborhood that used to be the place Lord Potter lived".
Umbridge started to laugh out loud when she heard Tracy say it. "And then to think that the boy who lives has you to back him up. You do know that that is exactly the place he lives".
This time Tracy started to laugh as Luna stood up next to her. With a dreamy look, she looked down at Harry. "It is not going to be long now. I still hope they have pudding when we get back to the restaurant".
Umbridge just gaped at her as Luna sat down again. Tracy laughed a little harder as her eyes narrowed a little at Umbridge. "You really are that stupid aren't you. Lord Potter hasn't lived in that place from the moment he found out that Albus lied to him and he found his real grandmother. Professor Minerva McGonagall Potter. Now I know that Mr. Malfoy wasn't there for the muggle girls that are walking the streets. I'm sure he isn't that kind of guy. So was he there to look for Lord Potter. If so what did he see".
Lucius was starting to sweat when Tracy told about the girls that are walking the streets. "I didn't see Potter. I only saw a rabbit Patronus walking out of a little tunnel" Lucius screamed from the spot he was sitting.
"So you never saw who produced it," Tracy said as she sat down again.
Umbridge was looking left and right between Lucius and Tracy. This bitch has somehow turned her whole questioning around. "So he didn't see Potter doing it but it was still him," Umbridge told her defiantly.
This time it was Luna who stood. "So we are back where we started. Lord Potter used to live there so he is the one who has been doing the magic". Umbridge nodded as Luna started to shake her head. "Just because he used to live there doesn't mean he is the only one who could do magic there". Umbridge wanted to protest but Luna went on. "As we now know, Lord Potter wasn't the only one who could do magic there because there were two other magical in the area".
"There were not" Umbridge screamed as Luna just smiled at her.
"Yes, there were. Lucius Malfoy and Severus Snape. Both of them can do magic so they could have done it too".
"They did not," Umbridge said as she was pointing her finger again, only this time she was pointing it at Luna.
"You don't know that you weren't there. Or are you telling me that you were, if so then you are clearly manipulating this case to your own benefit".
"I'm not, I wasn't even there" Umbridge screamed.
"So if you weren't there then you do not know if they did or didn't do magic. You also do not know if there was anyone else that could. So I still don't see the proof that Lord Potter was the one doing the magic".
"He was the only one according to our papers who is living there," Umbridge said again while she was pointing at the papers.
"And yet we already proved that Lord Potter isn't living there after the start of his first year. So It does not matter what your papers say. it is clearly outdated. So that leaves me to one question, where is the proof that Lord Potter was the one doing the magic".
The moment Luna stopped Tracy went on. "Now, it is clear that you can't prove anything so I would dismiss this meeting of the Witenagemot on a technicality".
Umbridge huffed and was swiftly looking through her papers to see if she had something else she could use to get Potter convicted. Amelia was openly smiling while Fudge realized there was nothing he could do. He hammered his hammer and called an end to the day clearing Harry from all the charges. Just as all the members were about to get to there feet the door slammed open.
"Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore. I'm here for the defense of Lord Harry James Potter". Albus called out as he walked to the middle of the floor. The moment he got there he started to look around. The only thing he saw were people who were turning their backs at him. "Wait where are you all going. I'm not late am I".
Luna smiled at Tracy while Tracy smiled back at her. "Yes, headmaster you are. I'm sorry but you were late. We did everything we could and only got the best we could get. I'm sorry you missed it".
Harry saw the look Albus gave Tracy and could see he was thinking the worst. So he just could not help himself and placed his hand on her shoulder. "Don't blame yourself, Tracy. You did the best you could".
It only took Tracy a second to realize what Harry did and flung him around the neck. "I'm so sorry Harry. I tried I really did" and she started to sob in his shoulder. At least that was what Albus was thinking. Tracy, however, was doing everything to muffle her laughter.
Harry just hugged her closer as he started to lead her out of the chamber while they left a gaping Albus behind them.
"You know that was mean Harry," Daphne said as she walked towards him and her friend, still trying to keep the smile from breaking out.
"Like you didn't enjoy every minute of it," Tracy told her friend as she looked her in the eye.
"Well, I did but it was still mean" And Daphne started to laugh with them.
*#*
As the Family walked into the ministerial restaurant they knew something was wrong. The first thing they saw was Isabella sitting all alone at a table in the corner of the room. No one said a thing as they sat down at the table. Only Neville and Luna took a while because Lune wanted another bole of pudding. Harry knew that Hermione and Bella had gone away so it wasn't hard for him to think it had something to do with Emma and Dan. When Luna and Neville sat down he couldn't wait any longer and had to ask.
Isabella shook her head a little. "Well, your plan did work wonderfully, there was an attack and they were gone in three minutes. There was, however, one little problem. When we got there Hermione did her part wonderfully but it turned out that there were two people in the house and they were killed by the fire".
"Family," Daphne asked.
"We don't know, Hermione didn't think there were family members who had the key. The only one who did was her grandmother but we have called her from Arabella's House. Thank got it wasn't her and she still had the key, so none of the family took it. Now it doesn't mean they are not family members but it is very doubtful. So we have to wait for the report but the Auror's do think that they are Dan and Emma".
Harry gazed at Neville. "We have to go to Hermione. I know you want to and we are" it was now that he turned to Daphne. "you go back to the castle with Tracy and Luna. When Dan and Emma come home you tell them what happened and that they have to wait a day".
"Harry, the Auror's need to know that the two aren't Dan and Emma," Daphne told him.
"Yes, you are right but not until tomorrow. The story will be in the local paper, and that is the one that Narcissa has to show Voldemort. After it, Dan and Emma can go to the police. Now I doubt they are family so I think it is more likely that they were burglars. Now I know it is wrong to wait so long but we do have to look at the big picture".
Daphne nodded but still had a look of worry written all over her face.
"Harry," Luna asked. "If the muggle papers are anything like the daily Prophet then the story has to be in before midnight. So Dan and Emma could go after it".
"Are you sure about that".
"Well, not about the time but you could call the paper to hear about it. just ask them if their daughter was alright because you knew they had one. I'm sure the Auror's had already informed them about Hermione".
"If that is so, then we will have Dan and Emma, go tonight. But we will have to make sure the story is printed in the first place".
Isabella had looked at them all while the members of the family were gathering around them. Dan and Emma would remain at the side of Nolwenn, just to keep the idea of them being reporters for as long as they could. "Oke you all go back to Potter castle, while Harry and Neville go with me to the house of Arbella".
Harry and Neville started to walk to the door as Isabella held Daphne back. "I want you to go to Potter castle. Tell Minerva, Apolline or Augusta all about it and then come to us".
"Why".
"I'm not sure if we need you, but the house of Arabella is right across of his old house. If he sees one of them he might brake down again. I will need both of you at his side if that happens".
"Oh, Merlin you are right, I hope it doesn't happen but it might. I even think Grandma Mini will be there before me if I tell her".
Isabella smiled a little, "Yes I think she will, she loves that boy like he was the last thing she has to lose". It was now that Isabella placed a hand over her mouth. "He is the last thing she has to lose, and with all that is hanging above his little head she will be there every step of the way".
"Just like we will be there with them," Daphne told her mother as she took her into a hug. "Now go with him he might need you first".
*#*
Every member of the inner circle walked back into Malfoy's manner. Draco was smiling like a maniac when he saw his dad walk into the door. "Dad, Dad. I and Pancy killed someone today. Pancy used the killing curse and A cutter. The Dark Lord told me I used the most violent curs and that I'm closer to getting the mark then Pancy is".
Lucius smiled as he took Draco into a hug. "I'm so proud of you my son. Your first kill. Did you know who it was, you killed".
"No, we didn't have much time but the evening addition told us that they were the parents of the Mudblood Granger".
"Evening edition?" Lucius asked.
"Yes, it is a muggle paper that the rat got us. It said that the two who had died in the fire were the parents of the Mudblood. We went there to trash the place and this was just the icing on the cake and our Lord is very pleased by our doing".
Lucius was smiling at his son while Narcissa was shaking her head. She now knew that there was no way back for her son. The only thing left for him was the Dark Mark and Harry would not be able to save him. In her heard she had known it all along but there had always been that little hope. So she turned on the spot and left the manor.
A/N This was it again for this week. See you all in two weeks.
Gr Winmau.
