Last Time:
Lucius nodded, “I’ll help however I can.” He said and his mind went back to running wild.
However, Lucius also started thinking about what to do at the next report. What should he say to the dark lord? If his story doesn’t match Peter’s then someone was going to get hurt …=
XXXXXXXXXX
RazorBlood nodded as he inspected the innocent looking coin on the desk in front of him, “The Hufflepuff cup and the diary had enough magic for a strong connection?”
The other goblin, who stood in front of an Auror, nodded, “Yes. We pulled a little of the magic from the horcruxes and after linking it to the tracker we tested it with those same horcruxes. It’s a strong connection, but we could only make one.”
“Excellent.” RazorBlood and handed the coin to the Auror. “If you find a horcrux, only touch it with this. It will protect you from any traps and curses.” The goblin instructed as he handed the Auror something that resembled a red palm sized suction cup with a black loop you could use as a handle. “Then put it in this bag. It will transport everything here and we found some information on who Voldemort is. These are the muggle addresses that might reveal something.” He explained as he gave the Auror a deep purple bag with light blue trim and a notepad.
The Auror, who was one of the ones originally on Gill’s team, nodded as he took the items, “I’ll quickly check those muggle addresses for you. I can’t stay too long, though. I will have to get back to surveillance.”
RazorBlood nodded, “We need the coin back to give to our spies so the faster you’re done the better.”
“Understood.” The werewolf Auror said before he headed out of the goblin’s office.
“With the muggle areas covered we just need to cover Hogwarts. How is the Prince heir?” RazorBlood asked the other goblin as he unlocked a wardrobe, or large cabinet , that sat against the far wall and had a bell hanging over it. A wardrobe that just happened to match the purple bag that RazorBlood gave the Auror.
The other goblin looked at a clipboard that appeared in his hand after a simple snap of his claws, “Lord Prince and his husband took Severus home to recover. The potion he was tricked into taking could’ve been life threatening if not for the Potter heir’s fast actions.”
RazorBlood sighed, “That shouldn’t have happened. Have every last blueprint of Hogwarts been found? Gill will need everything to secure Hogwarts.”
“Almost. There were many add ons throughout the centuries so we’re trying to be as thorough as possible. Some things have definitely been forgotten about.” The goblin explained.
Right at that moment the bell over the wardrobe rang. Both goblins looked at the shifting designs on the wardrobe. After a minute the designs settled down and whatever it said prompted RazorBlood to call in the curse breakers.
Once the curse breakers arrived the wardrobe was opened. A small box was revealed and itt had several curses on it. However, it was quickly made safe to open, which revealed a ring with a black gem on it. Of course, the ring also had curses so nothing could be done until the curses were removed.
“Voldemort didn’t hold back cursing this one.” RazorBlood commented and looked over to see that the Auror had returned. “No others?”
The Auror shook his head, “The coin didn’t react to anything else …but I found a place that is being filled with inferi. It’s possible he’s making a hiding place for another horcrux.” He said as he put the bag and suction cup on the goblin’s desk.
The goblin judge tapped his chin with his claws in thought, “That’s very good to know. Leave the coordinates of that spot and we’ll monitor it for any changes. Thank you, Agent Green. You should return to surveillance.”
The werewolf nodded, “I was happy to help. If you need help you know where my team is.” He said politely before, once again, walking out of the office.
This time the Auror used a portkey. The portkey took him to a room in a small inn. In that we’re the two other werewolves, who were taking turns looking out a window.
“Got one. Any movement? Has Gill contacted you guys?” Agent Green asked as he sat down and glanced out the window where he saw a small house.
If you were outside the inn you would be a little confused. After all, the view from outside would show the small house being much farther away and surrounded by trees. Obviously the house shouldn’t be as easy to see unless an enchantment was used on the window. It just so happens an enchantment was used and it helped them keep an eye on the two people inside, who were Lily and Peter.
“Nope. You had more progress than us. Peter hasn’t woken up from his nap yet and Lily is brooding about something.” One of the werewolves looking out of the window said.
Green nodded, “Keep an extra eye on them. I found a place while helping Gringotts and it might imply that Voldemort is planning to make a very secure spot to hide a horcrux. If he made it that’s no big deal, but if he hasn’t he may need a sacrifice.” He explained and they continued keeping watch on their targets.
“They really were foolish to floo straight to their hideout. Let’s hope Peter accidentally gives us just as much information on any of Voldemort’s Death Eaters while we wait for all the horcruxes to be collected. I don’t want people getting out of this by claiming their minds were controlled.” Green muttered as Peter finally woke up and seemed to floo away to make a report.
XXXXXXXXXX
As Gill spoke with the professors, Lucius' eyes narrowed on the three Gryffindors. James, Sirius and Remus were watching Severus being flooed away by Nicholas and Sebastian. Of course, the kind grandfathers told him to rest and that they’ll contact him once Severus wakes up. Since Severus was safe now, he decided to talk with the three Gryffindors.
Lucius stood up and silently walked up behind them, “You know about the passages.“ He whispered in their ears making them jump in shock. “I suggest you tell the Auror.” He said with a tone that implied that he wasn’t giving them a choice.
James immediately raised his hand, “Auror Jackson! We have something that might help!” He yelled as Remus did a quick summoning spell.
Gill raised an amused eyebrow, “I’m not a professor. You can put your hand down. Now what do you know?” He asked just as a piece of folded parchment flew into the room and into Remus’ hands.
Remus opened the supposedly blank parchment and gave it to Gill, “I made this last year. It might help.” The young werewolf said right before tapping the parchment with his wand and saying ‘I solemnly swear I’m up to no good’, which caused a map to appear.
“This is impressive.” Gill exclaimed, genuinely impressed by the skill. However, he smirked at them and leaned closer. “It’s also probably not used for anything that the professors would approve of.” He whispered making the teens look nervous and he chuckled. “Don’t worry about it.” He said casually assuring them that they weren’t in trouble before checking the map more closely. “Wait … it tracks everyone in the castle? Did any of you check for Peter?”
James flinched, looking a bit guilty just like his two friends, “No … we didn’t even have much time to really examine it.” He said gloomily, wondering if he could’ve saved Severus from this attack before it even happened.
The Auror shook his head, “I’m not accusing you guys. There was no reason for any of you to think that it was necessary. After all, Gringotts had Lily monitored and Peter was expelled. I’m only asking to learn the limits of the map. Would Peter still show up? It will be good to know how it was charmed because this could be our warning system.”
Remus’ eyes widened in understanding, “Yes, he’d show up … my father always had information on various construction spells. He doesn’t know, but I read some of his books and linked the map to the wards. Anyone on the grounds will be tracked and it shows all the passages my scans could reach.”
“This’ll help.” Gill said as he added a charm of his own to the parchment. “If Lily and Peter try anything like this again they will be caught.”
“That’s great! … and umm … if you see my dad could you give him this?” Remus asked as he gave the Auror a letter. “He sent me a letter this morning and I haven’t been able to answer it yet.”
Gill blinked as he grabbed the letter, “He sent a letter before the class-“ He stopped the second he remembered what happened with Lyall the night before. “I’ll take care of it.” He said quickly.
Minerva looked curious about the little exchange at the end, but she shrugged it off and looked at her three students, “It’s late. You should all head to bed. I’m sure Lucius will tell everyone if he gets an update on Severus’ recovery and I will ignore this map business since you handed it over right away, but for Merlin sakes behave.” She said and watched the boys quickly, and sheepishly, walk away. “The same goes for you, Lucius. I may not be your professor now, but you do need to recover and don’t blame yourself.” She said, sounding genuinely concerned.
“I understand.” Lucius said before bidding goodnight to the professors and healers. After making it back down into the empty hall where the whole incident happened he paused when he heard footsteps behind him. When he turned he was a little surprised to see Gill.
“She’s right, you know.” Gill said calmly as he looked Lucius in the eyes. “Lily and Peter are the only ones that are to blame here … remember that and if anyone asks that’s all you need to worry about. After all, nothing else was discussed and the fact that we’re only focusing on securing Hogwarts kind of implied that we lost them.”
The silver eyes widened slightly as Lucius realized that Gill was telling him how to work his next meeting with Voldemort, “I’ll keep that in mind … I highly suggest you deliver that letter. Assuming, of course, that you want a relationship.” He said before walking away.
Gill blinked, “Right!” He chuckled and immediately left as the Malfoy continued walking.
It didn’t take long enough to get back to the Slytherin dorm. Despite dreading it Lucius went into the Slytherin dorm and entered the bedroom that he shared with Severus. It was like any other room in the Slytherin house except for two differences. First, it had two beds so Lucius could stay near Severus. The second was a working and untraceable floo for Lucius’ meetings.
After taking a deep breath Lucius flooed to his family’s manor. To steady his nerves he reminded himself that Gringotts and the ministry were ready to help him. All he had to do was leave the meeting in one piece.
“Lucius.” The dark lord drawled with that voice that just made the Malfoy heir’s skin crawl. “What have you learned?”
“One Lily Evans attacked the Prince heir, who is the person I was playing healer for. Apparently, she used a trick with stitched runes that swapped the healing potions for something quite nasty and nearly killed myself and my ward in an explosion. Because of the suspected history between Peter Pettigrew and Lily Evans the-“ Lucius froze the second he saw Voldemort’s hand rise in a silent signal to shut up. He has seen what happened to the fools who miss that subtle signal and he refused to make the same mistake.
Voldemort slowly turned his gaze to the Malfoy, “Pettigrew and this witch have a relationship?”
Lucius scoffed, hiding the fact that he was wondering if Peter neglected to tell the dark lord, “In a matter of speaking, yes. Peter Pettigrew was expelled at the end of his fifth year for getting caught with foods he spiked with a love potion. No one believed that he made the love potion and after some incident exposing Ms. Evans as a thief the Aurors started putting together the connection.” He explained and wisely stayed quiet until he was told to speak.
“Is that so?” Voldemort scowled darkly. “Were the Aurors able to find them?”
“I was there when the Aurors explained Ms. Evans’ trick and they explained that they found the secret passage in the One eyed witch’s statue. However, nothing was said about catching them. In fact, they seemed far more concerned with locking Hogwarts down so it seems they lost the two.” Lucius said not revealing any shred of his fear, which was a very difficult feat.
Voldemort seemed completely indifferent, but Lucius was certain that he was seething, “Was your position affected?”
Lucius immediately shook his head, “No, my lord. In fact, I was asked to assist at Hogwarts even though my ward isn’t there and to return to my regular duties once he recovers.”
“Good … I’ll still have two useful spies.” Voldemort hissed as his anger rose a bit. “What was Dumbledore’s reaction?”
Lucius frowned, “The headmaster was present for every meal, but was oddly absent once the Aurors arrived.”
“No surprise considering his secrets.” Voldemort murmured before leaving the room.
After a moment Lucius realized it was safe to leave so he flooed back. When he was back in his and Severus’ room he saw a few things on the bed. The things included a coin, a bag, a suction cup thing with a handle and a note. Since the note had a Gringotts mark he immediately read it. The note was short, but said more than enough.
‘Use the coin to find a horcrux. Only use the cup to touch it and place it in the bag.’
Lucius saw the note crumble into ash once it wasn’t needed anymore and he smirked. He had much to do in the morning …
