Daily Prophet Headline

Malfoy Merger Announced

Malfoy Industries HQ, London – The offices of Esq. Draconis Cauis Malfoy of Malfoy industries released a statement announcing the merger of three divisions of Parkinson Inc. with Malfoy Industries. This notice follows on the heels of the announcement of the wedding of the decade of Ms. Pansy Parkinson, daughter of Victor Parkinson of Parkinson Inc. with the current head of Clan Malfoy, Esq. Draconis Cauis Malfoy who has been Ms. Parkinson's betrothed since their fifteenth year. The wedding had been postponed due to The Great War and Mr. Malfoy's hand in bringing down the Dark Lord.

Draconis Malfoy, the recent recipient of the Order of Merlin, Special Class, was one of the few prominent Pureblood Heirs with Deatheater ties who consciously denounced the Dark Lord and his allies. He served the Ministry in the capacity of an Auror, Special Envoy, and was instrumental in bringing the Shadow hounds into the war on the side of the Order of the Phoenix, of which he was also a decorated member. He was one of the main strategists behind the wildly successful Hogsmeade Manoeuvre, and had been one of the few who survived Gryffindor Front at Mordred's Fortress unscarred. Mr. Malfoy's late father was the previous Lord of Clan Malfoy and had been instrumental in leaking necessary information to the Order posthumously, which lead to discovery of the Dark Lord's Headquarters at the Fortress.

The wedding is to occur in a month's time with a flurry of activity being noticed at both households. The reception for the engagement to be confirmed will be held in a week's time at Malfoy Manor and a Conviction Ball to be held at the Parkinson Estate in the following week. The official host of the wedding will be the widowed Lady Narcissa Malfoy nee Black and the Master of Ceremonies will be Mr. Alexander Nott, a close friend of the couple, who is also the son of R. H. Theodore Nott and serves as Malfoy Industries' Chief Financial Officer.

Re: The Leak

Quoted verbatim from classified information on Weasley, G. alias Arven Atriedes, as informed to the Magical Archives by Blaise Zabini:

"There is an evil done by creatures like Voldemort that pervades humanity but never truly becomes part of it. And then there is the all-encompassing darkness in the depths of the human soul, which we would give everything up to reject. That is the cruelty that is entirely human and entirely repulsive; there are only a handful that practice it still. One was the inspiration for those who plagued the ancient paths of life, some were those voices inside Satan's head and the last were the demons that existed in the shadows of Ginevra Weasley's soul, the witch who moulded Rodolphus and Bellatrix Lestranges' minds to her liking and let Voldemort exist despite himself. She was the same who destroyed the one hope for Wizarding kind, the Death dealers, when she disposed of their leader, Raven Atriedes."

Knowledge of the events that lead her to be sentenced to Azkaban have been already recovered and sorted from the extensive files that Nott kept on her. Some are her own first-hand accounts of her experiences that she revealed to Nott when he was still her handler. A copy of the actual contract also remains as well as her call sign. I know the leak was made by one of yours, I know how much they want her dead, but we need her still.

There has been a flurry of activity and the charms at Mordred's Fortress have been activated, I want to know what Moriarty is up to and I need you to use discretion. Blaise Zabini, he seems to know more about her than most, list all of Nott's contacts with Jane in the last two years. I don't need to remind you that Moriarty is one of mine but I can't take any chances. He's always been very slippery. Mal, I need the codex for the Lestranges and I need the locators on Mulciber and Yaxley, make sure they're keeping busy in Ulster, I don't want any surprises. Send Unspeakable to Delphi; tell them to watch their backs, the Seers too. She is definitely up to something. I want an update from Japan as well; I want all this before Wizengamot opens its next session. Hope the weather gets better in Glasgow.

Subject: Mordred's Fortress

Handler: Theodore Nott

"You blood scum must pay the price of your sins. Going against the Dark Lord, have you no pride, he brings forth a New World Order and you dare refuse him. You're a blood traitor Weasley, did you really think the Dark Lord would not know you were betraying him."

The reply was a low moan, and Malfoy took it the way he knew best, "Crucio!"

The noise echoed around the forest clearing, and she watched the sky as the creatures of the night fled at the horrific screams. She watched in silence and she waited, it broke her heart but she knew she had to wait for the signal. She watched him lying there, and she felt helpless, watching from the shadows, she knew she had no choice. Then from the opposite side she caught a sudden movement, the signal she needed to make her move.

As Lucius Malfoy reached out to perform the Cruciatus curse on Percival Weasley once more, she moved into the clearing wand at hand, shouting Protego at Malfoy, hoping to give Percy time to recuperate. The curse bounced off the shield, it was unexpected as the only way to defend against an Unforgivable was to either duck or dodge it. Malfoy was caught off-guard only for a few minutes before he screamed again, this time aiming for her instead, "Expelliarmus!"

Her wand flew out of her reach and he called it to himself, with a smirk on his face that grew into a leer as he watched her come to the realization that now she was unarmed. She moved further away from Percy, two targets were better than one and Malfoy looked like he'd forgotten about Weasley for a moment.

"Ah… Two blood traitors for the price of one, you're a bargain hunter aren't you blood scum, you'd have to admit that this is a prodigious event indeed."

The movement from just beyond the clearing took form and Malfoy watched as the dark silhouette became Bellatrix Lestrange.

"Hurry it up will you. We have to be back at the Fortress for the Revel. Kill him already, take her, you know the orders."

"I wanted to have some fun with them, he never said she had to be whole, just alive."

"Fine, then be quick about it."

"Come on Bellatrix, you know you came here to bait."

"I did at that but I don't want to miss the Initiation."

"Fine."

In unison they pointed their wands, and screamed, "Crucio!"

Both Percy and his rescuer fell to the ground writhing in pain from the torture. It went on for what seemed like hours but were only a few instants. "Well kill him already, Rodolphus will be back soon from his mission, I want to see him before the Revel begins."

"Stupefy!"

The girl watched helplessly as Percy was put under the Cruciatus once more, stunned as she was, she could only watch as Bellatrix tied her up. Another movement announced to the two Deatheaters that Rodolphus Lestrange had come for them. The girl gathered all her strength as she watched all three point their wands at Percy and send him into another wave of excruciating pain that made him emit a bloodless cry that rose up high into the dark night.

The moon hid behind dark clouds as if it knew what would come next and the shadows of the three Deatheaters lengthened in the dark clearing. Experimentally she tried and watched as the wind started rising, swirling about and shaking the leaves off the trees. She watched as the three turned away from their victim and towards her, noticing that she was now sitting up leaning against a giant oak. As one they raised their wands at her and in one flicker of her eye their wands flew from their hands into the dark forest. As if in slow motion she watched their faces darken and grow into fear. It was then that she raised herself from the ground and loosened the rope that bound her.

"You…how did you?"

"The Dark Revel begins without you. You will not be there for the Initiation. You will serve me."

"You filthy little blood scum!"

"Careful Bella I'm not as forgiving as Riddle. "

She raised a hand towards them and in an instant Lucius fell to the ground writhing in pain. The other two stood rooted to the spot. "I've waited too long for this, so don't fuck it up."

Percy Weasley awoke to the realization that the pain had lessened, it still hurt even to think but he had to reserve his strength even as it was fading. The only thing he could do now was listen to her soothing voice, which at the moment was issuing orders to the two Deatheaters that were still standing.

"Do as I say, and maybe you will not be slain by my hand."

"There is no way that we would serve you!"

"Silence, yes, see how that works, they say my voice carries death on the wind. Two days from now Rodolphus you will return to the Fortress and inform the Dark Lord that Lucius Malfoy was the traitor along with ofcourse, Weasley here. You will tell him you sent Bellatrix to deal with the matter. If he asks for more information you will explain to him how Malfoy revealed the location of the Dark Fortress."

With a flick of her wrist Rodolphus Lestrange fell to the ground and Percy thought it was the pain that was causing him to see things, but in reality, a dark tendril of power escaped from his rescuer's fingertips and made its way to Rodolphus and soon he too was writhing on the ground. He had heard of the magic, he couldn't recall where, when or how but he knew instinctively what it was. She was altering his memories, dark magic that was regarded as Untouchable. She was making Rodolphus Lestrange see exactly what she wanted him to see and it seemed Bellatrix realized what was going on.

She tried to motion to Lucius who lay still on the ground but to no avail. Soon Rodolphus wasn't screaming anymore and then it was her turn. She watched in growing fear as with another flick of her wrist, the girl had forced Lucius and Rodolphus to stand, they were both unconscious but hung by invisible strings like puppets. Bellatrix watched as the girl turned towards her with a dark smile and spoke, "Now you will know the true meaning of fear Bellatrix. Too long have you used Imperious without a care and it is time you learn that you are not even half as dark as I can be. Now you stupid little bint, watch me!" she growled and then reached out for Lucius.

The moment seemed to last for an eternity, as Lucius Malfoy rose higher into the air until he was almost above the treetops, his mouth open in a silent scream and then, as if hearing the noise that no human could, there was a stampede as the creatures of the night fled from the clearing and deeper into the forest's embrace.


Author's Note

Sorry about the chapter being so late, to those who are still into it please review and tell me where you think I should take this. The fanfiction is Draco/Ginny but it's going to be very subtle, I mean the passion and lust and love will all be there but it will be difficult to predict...
