Trouble Always Finds Us

CHAPTER 2 : THE VISITOR FROM THE PAST

THE NEWS OF THE AUGERY'S ESCAPE SHOOK ALBUS TO THE CORE. ALTHOUGH ROSE HAD NOT WITNESSED DELPHI'S WRATH IN PERSONAL SHE KNEW HOW DANGEROUS SHE COULD GET. THEY BOTH DECIDED TO TALK WITH SCORPIUS ABOUT THIS.

THE MALFOY MANOR STILL HAS ITS OLD ARISTOCTATIC SENSE IN IT. ASTRID SEES ALBUS AND ROSE ENTERING THE GATES AND BY LOOK ON THEIR FACES, KNOWNS THAT IT IS SOMETHING SERIOUS. SHE HURRIES TO GET THE DOOR.

ASTRID:- Albus, Rose! Hey, what is going on?!!! Is everything alright? You look pretty shaken up.

ALBUS:- Astrid, I promise I will tell you everything later. But, now I just wanna talk to Scorpius, okay. Don't worry, alright?

Astrid:- Okay.

SCORPIUS COMES DOWNSTAIRS AND SEES ALBUS, ROSE AND ASTRID LOOKING WORRIED. HE IMMEDIATELY RUSHED TO THEM.

ALBUS:- We need to talk. Like RIGHT NOW!!!

SCORPIUS:- My bedroom welcomes you guys. Not in THAT way but you know in a friendly way.

ALBUS STARTS TO EXPLAIN THE SITUATION AND ROSE PASSES COMMENTS IN BETWEEN. THERE IS A DEADLY SILENCE AS THEY FINISH EXPLAINING. SCORPIUS TRIES TO LOOK CALM BUT FROM INSIDE HE IS TOTALLY FREAKING OUT. ROSE SENSES IT AND ASKS HIM TO STEP OUT WITH HER TO GET SOME FRESH AIR.

ROSE:- *grabs his hand* Hey, its okay. We'll figure something out. Don't worry. I bet you'll figure something out, with you being the smartest person I have ever known.

SCORPIUS:- Isn't that title taken up by your mother?

ROSE:- *whispers as she leans in* Not for me

THEY HEAR A SMALL COUGH BEHIND THEM. IT'S ALBUS.

ALBUS:-Umm.. Uh... Sorry, guys. Me and Astrid figured out a way. If the Augery escaped she would have got some help from someone and that someone nor Delphi knows that just a few days ago my dad installed some secret magic camera type thing to catch escapes. So, I guess if we all agree here we have to make a field trip to my dad's office.

THEY ASK SCORPIUS' DAD TO DRIVE THEM TO THE MINISTRY. AS DRACO GETS SUSPICIOUS, THEY AGAIN EXPLAIN EVERYTHING TO HIM. AFTER A FEW THIRTY MINUTES THEY FIND THEMSELVES IN THE MINISTRY OF MAGIC. ALBUS GUIDES THEM ALL TO HIS DAD'S OFFICE. HARRY IS COMPLETELY SURPRISED TO SEE THEM ALL THERE IN HIS OFFICE. ALBUS TELLS HIM ABOUT THE PLAN THEY CAME UP WITH IT. HARRY SUGGESTS TO UNFOLD THE SECRET IN THE MINISTER'S OFFICE. THEY AGAIN TRUDGE UP TO HERMIONE'S OFFICE AND CALL RON TO COME UP THERE. HARRY OPERATES THE SYSTEM AND GETS THE FOOTAGE OF THE ESCAPE. HARRY, RON, HERMIONE, DRACO AND GINNY'S HEART ALMOST STOPPED WHEN THEY SAW WHO IT WAS.

IT WAS BELLATRIX LESTRANGE.
