Chapter #40: Leave everything behind.

Lucius Malfoy was having a relatively relaxing day in the office. He was still making use of a cane to move around, but his health had improved; that visit with the healer truly helped him. However, his thoughts were suddenly interrupted when his beautiful blonde secretary entered. She was completely desperate.

“Greengrass…What’s going on?” He said as he looked at her long legs, even in this state, he couldn’t stop his urges.

“Minister…Is your sister-in-law... She says your wife and son have been kidnapped by the Potters!” Daphne Greengrass said with a serious tone.

She couldn’t help but internally celebrate. She wished Narcissa and Draco were dead so she could marry the minister; she took this job for that reason, and then, after marrying him, she was going to kill him and destroy the Malfoy family once and for all. She had her reasons for doing that, but first, she needed to make sure she looked harmless.

“Bella is here?!” Lucius became worried.

Soon, even without his full strength, he started to walk into the office until the door was violently opened by the woman he was just asking about.

“Bella, what’s going on? Tell me, Greengrass is joking!” Lucius demanded.

“I could only wish that Lucius, but no, it's the truth…They’ve been kidnapped by the Potters; I’m sure it won’t take too long before we know they’re dead. It’s clear they’re seeking revenge for what we did to Potter!” Bellatrix told him with a desperate tone.

“I’m going to get the best Aurors to search for them…You tell the dark lord about it, please, tell him we need his help!” Lucius ordered more than he asked.

However, Bella wasn’t in the right state to get angry because her rank wasn’t respected, and soon she nodded and left the ministry as fast as she could. After that, she apparated, but she didn’t arrive at the dark lord’s place; she arrived at where the Potters were hiding, and soon, Bellatrix’s form started to change.

Gone are the curly hair and the age, and now she has been replaced by the petite figure of a younger witch with purple hair. The woman was smirking before she entered the hiding place the Potters were using for their activities.

“Tonks!” Harry suddenly said before he ran and kissed her as if his life depended on it.

Tonks smiled through the kiss and kissed him back with the same, if not more, intensity as he was doing, and if it weren’t because they heard people coughing close to them, they would’ve continued.

“Sorry…I just missed her,” Harry said in an embarrassed tone.

“It’s alright, but we need to take care of some matters…The cup and the diary had been destroyed, but…What are we going to do with Bellatrix?” Asked James with a concerned tone.

“She needs to pay for her crimes,” another voice joined them.

Nymphadora suddenly felt a shiver before she looked back at the source of that voice. It was a woman, and she looked like Bellatrix, but her expression was gentler; still, according to Nymphadora, that expression made her scarier.

“Mother,” Tonks said with a frown.

“Nymphadora,” the older witch said with a smirk.

“Ah…Mom, you know how much I hate that name!” The purple-haired witch complained.

“I know…And that’s why I called you that,” Andromeda said with an amused expression, and Tonks just sighed.

“Well, well…The three Black sisters reunited in the same place again after almost thirty years, what a time to be alive,” Sirius said in a bored tone after coming back from the kitchen with a bag of spicy chips.

“So…It’s true, Narcissa is here too,” Andi sighed as she caressed her forehead.

“Yes, so, please don’t try to kill her, mother…She helped us get what we needed, even if we had to convince her…She still treats me like shit, though,” Nymphadora laughed awkwardly.

“I can’t believe she’s still acting like this after so many years!” Andromeda was getting tired of her little sister's attitude.

“Oh, by the way, the plan was a success, now Lucius knows that we have his family, right now he thinks I went to the dark lord to tell him everything, it was a shame to see uncle Lucy acting like that but maybe this experience is going to make him realize what’s truly important,” Tonks suddenly stole Sirius’ chips and he tried to get it back but she used her transforming abilities to eat all of them.

“That was mine!” Sirius complained.

“Just go get another, you old mutt…And get me another bag too, I deserve it after putting my life at risk!” Tonks told Sirius, and he rolled his eyes.

He went back to the kitchen.

“I would like to see my sisters,” Andromeda suddenly requested.

There was a silence, but in the end, Harry nodded at the older woman.

“Go with her, you two need to do this,” Harry told Nymphadora, who wasn’t so sure about it.

Still, she couldn’t deny she was curious to meet them, even though she knew they were probably going to hate her. Meanwhile, Harry felt the need to speak with his family about the next step of their plan. It was time for the final attack; they needed to get rid of the snake and, with that, Voldemort too.

“So, what’s the plan?” Asked Sirius with a serious expression.

“First, we need to get all the information we can from Bellatrix. It’s time to use veritaserum, I think we should tell Severus,” Lily suddenly said.

Everyone agreed with her. Severus Snape, their spy, has been waiting for a long time to destroy the dark lord for killing Dumbledore, the person who saved him.

“How can we proceed?” James wondered.

“Let’s use the force of our numbers and let’s take them by surprise,” Harry suggested.

They looked at him with surprised expressions. This wasn’t the usual complex plan Harry often comes up with; this was more straightforward, and they didn’t know how to feel about it. The last thing they wanted was to act desperately.

Meanwhile, Lucius was moving around his office. It’s been some time since Bellatrix left, and he hasn’t received a call from the dark lord, which clearly meant one thing: he and his family have been abandoned by him, after years of being so faithful to the movement, and the recent torture has made him see things differently.

“Kingsley Shacklebolt here, minister,” Daphne introduced a tall, dark-skinned wizard.

“Minister, did you ask to see me?” Asked the recent arrival.

“Yes…I know you have a way to contact Potter; you worked with him for a long time, tell him not to do anything to my wife nor my son…Tell him I’ll give him what he wants the most,” Lucius grabbed his wand.

Kingsley looked at the minister with a confused expression.

“Minister?” Asked the newest head of the Auror department.

“I want you to summon all our elements from the Auror forces. There’s an enemy we need to destroy, an enemy that represents a danger for my family and everything I used to believe,” Lucius suddenly grabbed a bottle of firewhisky.

He drank directly from the bottle while the Auror looked at him with a worried expression.

“What do you want us to do, minister?” Kingsley was worried about James and his family.

“We’re going to destroy the real person behind this puppet government, Kingsley,” Lucius said in the most serious tone possible.

To say that the dark skinned Auror was shocked would be a complete understatement.
