The whole room gasped at the sight, Lucius Malfoy a man accused of many horrible crimes in the past and that somehow didn't pay for them, many people thought it was awful how he managed to escape from justice while others thought of him as nothing but a victim like the minister, and yet, right now he was showing his true colors.

He was pointing his wand at Harry Potter’s head, the ministry’s number one enemy, and while that would be great in different circumstances, right now this was the worst curse of action as he was doing it publicly, there were so many witnesses that it was going to be impossible to cover this up.

“Go ahead…Do it and show your true self, this is the real Lucius Malfoy, not the one who tries to paint himself as a good person in the newspapers with his donations to fake institutions,” Harry said with a smirk on his face.

Each word spoken by the Potter heir made Lucius get more and more angry, however, something interesting suddenly happened, the older wizard was suddenly blasted against a wall and the one who did this was no other than Narcissa.

“I’m sorry to bother you, Mr. Potter, I know my husband acted very irrationally but I hope you find in your heart to forgive him…We’re worried about son and I guess he became desperate, my husband has never been denied anything in his life, his entitlement is sadly something he passed on my Draco,” the blonde woman said with a fake respectful tone.

“I think we should better get going,” the minister said trying to stop this before things escalated further.

Soon most of the older people left the room, in the end, Harry shared some words with Ted and Nymphadora before they left.

“Wait Dad, there’s someone I’d like you to meet before I take her to dine with you and Mum, she’s a teacher around my age…” Tonks said to her father who nodded with a satisfied smile.

Harry could only watch his friend Tonks drag his lawyer with a smile on his face before he got back to what he was doing, to say that Professor Trelawney, Lavender, and Parvati were shocked would be a complete understatement, Harry could only weakly smile at them.

“I’m sorry you girls had to see that but that’s what being Harry Potter is like,” Harry sighed in defeat. “That’s why I’m planning to read the cards or the tea in the muggle world once I graduate, it's not illegal to do that after all,” Harry said trying to cheer up the mood.

“Oh right, you were interested in the branches of divination that are not banned in the muggle world, right?” Asked the professor a bit more motivated.

“Wow Harry, that’s interesting, I hadn’t seen Professor Trelawney so happy when it comes to teaching, well, not without some fine bottle of alcohol,” Parvati said in a low tone.

Harry was now interested.

“Does she love to drink that much?” Asked Harry with a curious expression.

“She loves to drink and she becomes quite chatty at a certain point but it’s rare for her to drink up that much unless she's drinking something good,” Lavender was the one who spoke this time.

Harry couldn’t help but smile at them, it didn’t matter what the rest would think about him getting closer to these two, they’d given him some interesting piece of information if he truly wanted to get the truth out of the professor, he needed to get close to her so he could invite her to drink and then if he's lucky she could tell him the truth.

Meanwhile in Snape’s office…

The door was slammed as Snape, Lucius, and Narcissa entered the room, soon, three glasses of elvish wine were served but for them the beverage was tasteless, this wasn’t the right moment to be doing something like this, they were very worried about Draco, their enemies could use him to get to them, this could be a very deserved act of vengeance if the captors play their cards right.

Lucius has wronged so many people in his life that he wasn’t surprised many people resented him and his family and Narcissa is not far behind him, however, the two of them shared something that made them quite compatible and it was the fact that they were so arrogant to think that no one would be bold enough to give them a taste of their own potion.

“So…What do you think Severus?” Asked Narcissa with a serious tone.

“Oh, he’s definitely involved, for some reason he has become quite good at hiding his thoughts I wasn’t able to read him like I used to in the past,” Snape said as he gritted his teeth.

“We need to kidnap him and get the truth out of him!” Lucius wasn’t acting rationally right now.

“Are you insane? The dark lord is not going to be happy if we do something like that, he’s obsessed with Potter, and he has allowed only one person to touch Potter, and that is the dark lord himself,” Snape said with a cold tone.

“We need to convince him to let us do something, our time is running out and if he’s truly behind Draco’s disappearance I’m sure he’s going to become paranoid and if Draco’s still alive I’m sure he won't be for too long!” Narcissa was completely desperate.

“Relax Cissa…I’m going to keep a close watch on Potter, there’s no way he’s going to kill someone and get away with that, I’ll make sure of that,” Severus promised them. “However, there could still be the small possibility that he’s not involved so, focus on other fronts and do what you can to find your son, offer money, power, favors, whatever you can, use the newspapers too,” Snape told his longtime friends and they nodded.

“We’ll do that while we try to get on the dark lord’s graces,” the blonde witch couldn’t help but say in a convincing tone. “If we discover that Potter is involved I’m going to kill him with my own hands, that’s a promise,” Narcissa truly tried to be polite with the younger wizard when she spoke with him.

However, inside she was burning with hatred not only because he could be involved in Draco's disappearance but because he was the son of Lily Evans, the bitch who stole James from her and the most annoying person she has ever met, never in her life Narcissa has hated someone like her.

They were about to say something else when Lucius and Snape felt their arms burning.

“The dark lord is calling,” Snape said with a serious tone.

“Let’s go then,” Narcissa was the one who took the lead which surprised both wizards.

It was clear that a desperate mother was more dangerous than anything else, and soon, the three of them used Snape’s floo to go to Malfoy's manor and then they apparated to where the dark lord was waiting for them and the moment they arrived to the designed place they were surprised to find themselves close to an island that was supposed to be impenetrable.

“Ah, good evening my friends, I’m glad all of you are here with me on this fun mission,” the dark lord started. “A lot of you managed to roam freely after my defeat, sadly not everyone had the same luck…My most faithful servants, they put the cause over their lives and today we’re going to get them out of Azkaban!” Voldemort finished as a wave crashed against the giant stone they were standing on.

The death eaters couldn’t help but gulp at the sight of the worst prison of the magical world surrounded by thunders and dementors, some of them thought this was going to be fun while others were frightened but had no other choice but to be here.
