Hogwarts Express

Alice and Anthony sat in the corner of small carriage on the way back to school.

Jessica hadn't been told about their grandfathers' escape from Azkaban, because Hermione and Draco had wanted her to enjoy the rest of her Christmas holiday but it had been agreed that once she was back at school, she needed to know.

"Anthony I think you should tell her now, before she hears someone talking about it" Alice said, as she ran her hand through his newly cropped hair. This was her new favourite pastime. She had always secretly hated Anthony long curly hair.

"I think you're right. She will probably come by the carriage at some point. She can't keep away from you very much at the moment" Anthony pointed out.

"She's just excited about being an auntie. I don't mind" Alice said, resting a hand on her still flat tummy.

Not five minutes later Jessica popped her head through the carriage door. She came in and took the seat opposite her brother and his wife and began to practically stare at Alice's Belly.

"Hey Jess, she's not giving birth anytime soon, could you quit staring at my wife please" Anthony asked a little shortly.

"Sorry. I'm just excited. Only 31 weeks to go!" Jessica Exclaimed.

"Jess we need to talk to you" Alice said calmly.

"Okay look I'm sorry I'm so excited, I'll back off" Jess said apologetically and began to rise, to leave the carriage.

"No wait Jess, it's not about that" Anthony said. "It's about our grandfather"

"Is something wrong with Grandpa Henry?" Jessica asked, looking worried.

"No, Grandpa Henry is fine. I'm actually talking about our other grandfather" Anthony clarified.

"What about him?"

Alice moved over to the seat next to Jess. She took her hand and explained about the newspaper article.

"Can't uncle Harry and Uncle Ron find him?" Jess asked, worrying her bottom lip.

"They've been looking. Mum says dad barely came home over the last few days" Alice informed her.

"We're safe right? I mean, we're safe at Hogwarts?" Jess' normally strong backbone had disappeared completely; she remembered hearing a lot of scary stories about her grandfather.

One Week Later

A week had past since the students had returned to Hogwarts and there had been no reports at all of sightings of the escaped death eaters.

They seemed to be hiding themselves extremely well; a fact that seemed to worry everybody more. At least if there had been a sighting, there would be more indication of what they were planning.

Aurors had been placed at all the entrances to the school and around the small village of Hogsmeade. This had obviously been influenced by Harry and Ron, as they were worried about the things Draco had told them that Lucius had said to his mother. There was a good chance he was going to come after Anthony and Alice.

Anthony had squared it with the boys in their little group of friends that no matter what Alice and Jess were not alone when walking around the grounds of Hogwarts. Albus and Brandon had agreed straight away to keep an eye on the girls and James said that he would watch out for them but really he had his own worry.

He was worried that Olivia would also be pursued since Blaise had never really been for or against the death eaters and even though they still hadn't started dating, he was going to watch her; a fact that BJ had picked up on rather quickly.

"You know what Ant; your wife's cousin is beginning to get on my nerves. He will not take his eyes off my little sister" BJ grumbled, sat at the Slytherin table eating dinner.

"So, he hasn't made a move and I wouldn't complain about anyone watching someone important to me at the moment" Anthony replied, he himself having trouble taking his eyes off his wife, who was sitting with his sister at the Gryffindor table.

"Still, he's beginning to push his luck" BJ said, punctuating the words by stabbing his roast potatoes.

"Oh come off it mate. He obviously likes her and if you take a look at your sister at the moment, she feels the same. It's not so bad being part of that family you know" Anthony said, and struggled to hold in the laugh at the look on BJ's face as realisation dawned on him that Anthony was right about his sisters feelings.

After finishing his meal and clapping BJ on the back Anthony went over to the Gryffindor table to meet Alice so they could walk back to the Marriage Wing. On the way down the table he tapped James on the shoulder and whispered to him to quit staring at Olivia unless he wanted a bloody nose from her brother.

He took Alice's hand as she stood and quickly patted the now tiny bump she was sporting. At ten weeks gone it wasn't visible to everyone else but Anthony could see a difference in her.

They waved a quick goodnight to everyone and made their way out of the castle and down the long hill towards their flat.

They entered the lifts and Anthony again began rubbing his hand over the tiny baby bump. Alice loved when he did it. She felt like everything would be fine when they were like this.

They exited on the 3rd floor and made their way to the front door of their little home, only to find it open. Anthony instantly pushed Alice behind him and whipped out his wand, putting his finger to his lips to make sure she stayed quiet.

He pushed the door open and mumbled 'Homenum Revelio'

No one was there. Anthony took Alice's hand and led her inside, not wanting to leave her outside in case someone was waiting hidden in the hall for them to separate.

No one was in the bathroom or the second bedroom, which was meant as a baby room. Anthony pointed his wand at the master bedroom door and opened it but no one was there either.

Lastly he opened the living room door and pulled Alice into his chest as she cried out. Magically painted on the wall was the dark mark. It took over the whole wall and had been charmed so that the serpent tongue literally came out of the wall.

On the small coffee table was a piece of parchment. It read

I won't have a blood-traitor in my family

Anthony sent a patronus straight to professor McGonagall and not five minutes later most of the staff and two auror's were in their small living room.

"I don't understand how they got past all the security" Professor Herron was saying.

She looked to the Auror's for an explanation but after a purse of the lips from the head mistress she just looked back to the mark on the wall.

Professor Flitwick had tried a few charms on it but it wasn't coming off. "I think all the couples in the building should sleep in the castle until we can find out how they got in" Professor McGonagall stated.

"The house elves can pack everyone up, Professor Herron, I will leave it to you to make sure everyone in this building knows to be in the castle" she said and with a nod the tall potions professor left the flat.

A moment later Ron and Harry entered and after giving Alice a hug each they turned to the aurors in the room.

"How the bloody hell did they get in?" Ron shouted and Harry put a hand on his shoulder, looking to the two men in the room who didn't know how to answer.

"We haven't worked out how he got in yet Auror Weasley" the bigger of the two men said.

"Well you better get your useless arses outside and find out hadn't you" Ron yelled. Harry took a grip on his arm and whispered to him to calm down. He then flicked his head to the two aurors to leave.

"Have Hermione and Draco been informed yet?" Harry asked Professor McGonagall.

"Not yet, we wanted to wait for you" she replied. Harry nodded and left to apparate to the Manor.

Ten minutes later he was back with Hermione and Draco. Hermione hugged Anthony and Alice who had been sitting quietly in the corner since Ron and Harry had come in.

Draco stared at the mark. He felt sick. He never wanted to see that mark again. The one on his arm had faded and was barely visible now.

"Definitely my father and not someone pulling a prank?" Draco asked Harry.

Harry handed him the note and he saw quite clearly that it was his father's handwriting.

"Well at least we now know for sure what his goal is. What are we doing to protect the children?" Draco asked. He looked cool and calm on the outside, his Malfoy mask in place, but inside he was furious.

"The few couples that were living in this building are going to be moved into the castle. I'm thinking that I may transfigure a few suits of armour to stand outside the common room entrances" Professor McGonagall informed him.

"I want to stay. He's my father and it's my son and daughter-in-law he is after" Draco said.

"Mr. Malfoy, the children will be perfectly safe in the castle I assure you" Professor McGonagall said.

Draco shook his head and pointed to the mark on the wall "Oh yes, they seem very safe. What if my son and daughter-in-law had been here when he got in, we could be looking at bodies. I am staying" Draco insisted.

"Very well Mr. Malfoy, I will organise a room for you" the professor conceded and left to start preparations for everyone that would be moving into the castle.

…

Unknown Location

"Lucius have you gone mad? That was not a risk worth taking" Yaxley was furious. "What if you had been seen? We all would have ended up back in Azkaban!"

"Yaxley do shut up. I got you out only because you will be of use to my plan" Lucius calmly said, not even looking.

"Yes and now the security around that blasted school will double and we will have no chance" Rookwood added to the conversation.

"My dear comrades in arms, it would seem you doubt me" Lucius eyes flashed and he discreetly reached for his wand.

"Did I not bring you back a little entertainment?" Lucius pointed to a quivering young muggle girl on the floor; around seventeen in age and clearly petrified.

"Yes Lucius we will definitely have some fun with her" Yaxley said and advanced on the girl.

"Now now Yaxley, before you partake of my gift I will need assurances of your loyalty" Lucius said.

Yaxley bowed and threw the terrified girl over his shoulder.
