Chapter XXX - Before the Game

------------------------------------
Draco peered around the Slytherin Common Room. It was almost perpetually
dark so he had to be extra careful that someone wasn't hiding in the shadows.
Once he was convinced that he was alone he pulled out the letter he had gotten
from his Father. He knew the plan was coming together. Those loyal to his
Father were still working on the Dark Lord's behalf fighting the Ministry,
paving the wave for Purebloods to take back the power that was rightfully
theirs but at the same time, they were working to destroy the Dark Lord
himself. And at the moment, that meant destroying Harry Potter.
The boy waking up hadn't been expected and the threat of further attack
couldn't be expected to hold now. The boy was too well guarded for them even to
attempt it. Sirius Black stalked the corridors behind his Godson, his wand half
drawn and somehow he seemed to know who had attacked Harry when the rest
of the school remained baffled. Every time he got close to the precious
Gryffindork, the man's black eyes smouldered, daring him to even flinch out of
line. Somehow the man knew even though Draco knew Potter hadn't talked. Add the
constant scrutiny of the teachers and the ever-present eyes of the older
Gryffindorks and Potter was untouchable.
It was so frustrating! The whole school was seething with an aura of fear,
of uncertainty because the attackers hadn't been caught and they couldn't even
take advantage of the situation. All he could do was sit and wait for his
Father to make his move before he could openly state his allegiance. He opened
the letter, looking down at the neat writing. His Mother had written the letter
but no doubt his Father had dictated it.
My Dearest Son
That was definitely his mother.
It has come to our attention that Harry Potter has awakened. While your
initial results were very pleasing the current situation cannot be allowed to
continue. The circumstances surrounding his awakening remain unclear but it has
become certain that his existence can no longer be tolerated.
As such you have permission to fulfil your greatest wish to ensure that
boy can no longer interfere. I know you were careful last time, my son, but
this time you must be doubly cautious as I have no wish to lose my Heir at the
moment of my ascension. The Dark Lord is powerful but he is also vindictive and
even as he falls he will still strike out.
You will do well my son. You are my Heir.
Lucius Malfoy.
A slow smile crept over Draco's face and his eyes narrowed. Oh... This was
going to fun. And he knew just how to do it.
He'd finally beat that stupid Gryffindork at Quidditch and in the instant
Potter knew who was truly the best he would die.

Dumbledore looked over the school grounds. It was amazing but in the
starlight it was as if everything was made clear. He could see the Quidditch
pitch with its pennants trailing in the breeze and the dark smooth lawns that
extended their way up to the castle's battlements. He could see the slowly
undulating branches of the Whomping Willow and the lights of Hagrid's Hut
shining before the dark smudge that was the Forbidden Forest at night. It all
combined to give him a sense of peace but he knew just how fleeting it was.
Ever since Tom had killed Cornealis what had been simmering unrest was
slowly escalating into full-scale war. Each day the attacks of the Death Eaters
were becoming more and more brazen and each day they found further evidence of
Ministry Duplicity. The Interim Minister was doing his best to hold things
together but Fudge had done more damage than anyone had realised and open war
would be on them soon.
It wouldn't be like fifteen years ago. Tom had tired of cloak and dagger
games. This would be true war with wizards and witches lining up on both sides.
There would be soldiers and planned tactical battles. The lines would be drawn
clearly and the forces on both sides known unlike last time when no one was
sure where their neighbours loyalty lay and the war was comprised of strikes in
darkness and report after report of bodies found at dawn. Open conflict was at
once better and worse than before but it would be open only if there were two
sides.
With a tired shake of his head Dumbledore turned away from the school. Tom
still hadn't dealt with the growing Rebellion within his ranks and that threw
all their plans into chaos. Tom had to know of it. Already there were bodies
appearing in the squirmishes that had no right to be there. Death Eaters were
dying and no one in the Light was killing them. It was coming from within, from
the schism growing within their ranks. So why wasn't their Lord acting to purify
his forces? Why wasn't Tom cleansing his troops?
It wasn't weakness. He had more than enough power to be able to do it both
in terms of personal ability and in manpower. And it couldn't be ignorance.
While Tom may not know who all the Leaders were, he would know enough to find
out and if he was truly that worried he could just eliminate everyone as he had
in the past.
It had to be arrogance. Tom was so sure of his victory that he could afford
to wait for the traitors to strike. He could take them out then while still
dealing with the forces of Light.
Dumbledore suppressed a shiver. If he was that strong... If he was truly
that strong... No... No Dark Lord was that strong and only Tom was that
arrogant.
But if he fell in the midst of battle then they would lose their chance to
eliminate the Darkness. The factions that comprised his forces would go into
hiding and most would never be found. The Dark couldn't be eliminated entirely.
Light would have no meaning then but it could be suppressed, driven back to
wait for generations again before it rose as it should have with the defeat of
Grindlewald. But with Grindlewald's defeat there was Tom Riddle waiting for his
opportunity.
With Voldemort's defeat there was no one. There were those who would like to
claim the mantle of a Dark Lord but there was no one with the sheer raw power
necessary to unify the Dark. Once Riddle was gone the Light would rule
unhindered if they could destroy his forces completely.
"Tom... Why haven't you acted? Is it because of Harry?" Dumbledore
spoke the question aloud.
Tom had figured out his defences and had awoken Harry but he had done
something more. Harry hadn't said anything was different and it was possible
that he didn't know himself but to Dumbledore's well-trained eyes something
within the boy had changed. The Sword of Gryffindor had helped to sustain Harry
but it wasn't enough to heal him completely but when he had awoken he was
complete. The broken thing inside him was healed but that shouldn't have been
possible until Harry had bonded with a new wand. And Harry was only suited to
one wand apart from his own.
No... That wasn't possible. Tom would never... He could never...
"What have you done?"

DAILY PROPHET

Special War Correspondents Report
Sirius Black - New Hope or the Dark Lord's Plot?

From Elliot Bryant
We all know the story. The Potter's knowing they were on
He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named Hit List cast the Fidelus Charm and went into hiding
in Godric's Hollow and then they were betrayed. But on that tragic night
You-Know-Who was defeated and the Wizarding World knew peace. You-Know-Who was
gone, his Death Eaters scattered and his right hand man, Sirius Black was
imprisoned.
That is until two years ago when our peace was shattered by the news that
a prisoner had done the impossible - Sirius Black escaped from Azkaban. To make
matters worse he seemed to be after our saviour the Boy-Who-Lived, Harry
Potter. But everything settled down until last year when at the Tri-Wizard
Tournament another tragedy struck. Cedric Diggory was killed during the Dark
Lord's revival that had presumably been arranged by his most trusted and
dangerous servant.
But all conventional belief's have been changed. Peter Petrigrew, thought
to be deceased appeared at Hogwarts very much alive and bearing the Dark Mark
burned into his arm. He has of course been stripped of the Order of Merlin but
his appearance raises more questions than it answers.
Sirius Black has had all charges against him revoked leaving him free to
pursue what future he would. At the moment his is spending time getting to know
his Godson but is this part of a larger plot of the Dark Lord? You-Know-Who is
both cunning and powerful and has shown the he fears nothing, killing the
Minister of Magic quite openly at Hogwarts.
So is Sirius Black's recent reappearance and interest in his Godson
nothing more than the actions of a newly freed man or are they the actions of
one of the Dark Lord's most devoted servants, laying a trap to stop the one
person who has proven his ability to stop the Dark Lord? Unfortunately while
Peter Petrigrew has been captured and placed in custody he is not in any
position to speak since the Dark Lord has left several Dark Art's charms on his
body, reducing him to a state similar to one who has be subjected to the Dementor's
Kiss.
Leaving the only word on what happened in Sirius Black's hands. If this
is the Dark Lord's plot then it is a brazen and direct attack on everything
that has given us hope. Of course there is always the possibility that Sirius
Black has been telling the truth the whole time and is as innocent has he
appears to be. If this is the case then the Light has gained a powerful
defender.
But should we really take that risk? Does the Boy-Who-Lived deserve to be
subjected to such risk when he is the only one who can stand against You-Know-Who?
Plot or Hope?
You decide.
