The Ministry of Magic
Draco, Pansy and Goyle stood across the street and looked up at the Ministry of Magic. "Well this is it then, I guess." Draco muttered.
"Guess so." Pansy replied, a sudden flash of fear going through her, "You go in and Goyle and I'll follow." She patted Draco on the shoulder, "Good luck."
Goyle nodded "Ok I'll go in first." he said as he walked through the door to the Ministry.
"No you idiot get back!" Pansy whispered, pulling him back onto the sidewalk and ducking down behind a bush before a group of wizards saw them. She turned to Draco, "Alright, you'd better get in there fast, we'll be right behind you."
"Right then." Draco muttered, glancing over the bush and looking for more workers before he ran across the street and up to the front doors. He got there safely and motioned for Pansy and Goyle, who joined him a minute later. "Well, time to go." He sighed and the three went inside the Ministry.
The three of them looked around in side for a minute, "Now I think that he's on the fifth floor." Draco muttered, "We'll all get on the elevator and when I find his office, you two wait outside and steal the hairs from the first three people you see. Then go find Weasley and meet me back at the office."
"Right then." Pansy began, but then stared blankly ahead, "Where's Weasley's office?"
Draco stopped to think for a minute, "Fourth floor." He mumbled after a while. The three of them got onto the elevator and headed towards the 5th floor.
Meanwhile Lucius Malfoy was on his way to see Mr. Weasley and was already on the fourth floor.
"Well even now we've gotten farther than I thought we would." Draco muttered. He began to say something else when the door opened onto the 4th floor. "Oh God." He groaned as he saw his father walking down the hallway.
Pansy stared blankly ahead of her. "Now what was that you were saying about us getting far in this?" She glanced at Goyle, who had the same look of shock on his face that she and Draco had. "So what should we do?"
At that time Lucius hear the voices behind him and looked into the open elevator. "Draco? What-"
"Well this worked out well." Pansy rolled her eyes.
Draco gave a nervous smile in his father's direction, "Alright change of plan." He muttered to Goyle and Pansy, trying to hide the little bit of panic that he could hear in his voice, "I'll deal with him, you go find Weasley and three others on this floor and meet me back at the elevator when you're done."
Goyle noddded and waved at Lucius "Hello Mr.Malfoy!" he called to Lucius over Draco's shoulder and nodded walking up to Lucius "Yeah I'm here 'cause my father is on trial as you know." He nodded solemly "I was just off to go support him." he smiled and walked of grabbing Pansy's arm pulling her off to the elevator before Lucius could question him.
Draco gulped as they all got off of the elevator and Draco was left alone with his father. "Yeah best of luck on that trial!" Draco growled at Goyle as he and Pansy turned the corner.
Lucius looked at Draco. "You wouldn't be hiding something from me, would you, son?"
Draco scoffed, "Of course not. Goyle just got the news about his father's trial date and he wanted to go."
Lucius gave his Draco a look of disbaleaf. "Alright, off you go" And he tapped his cane releasing him though he planned on keeping a close watch on him.
Draco began to walk away, then realized that this hadn't given Pansy and Goyle enough time to find the hairs. He sighed,
"Why not kill two birds with one stone?" He thought to himself,
"I suppose he might know something about the magic situation." He turned to Lucius, "Actually, there is one more thing."
Lucius turned to Draco looking very interested. "Yes, what?"
Draco tried his hardest to put on a fake smile, "Right. Now as I'm sure you already know, Hogwarts has been banned from using magic."
"Yes, of course" Lucius anwsered.
"Yeah, any particular reason for that?" Draco whispered as a few people walked by them, "I'm correct when I say that the Ministry hasn't gotten their magic taken away?"
"That disturbs me too. No, the Ministery still has their magic. They fear the Dark lord may try to come back, with the help of students." Lucius smiled at Draco.
"Ah." Draco frowned, "And how might that be?"
"Anything is possible with a push from the wrong direction" Lucius laughed.
"What do you mean?!" Draco said, forgetting for a moment that he was talking to his father, "What in the bloody hell is coming to our school?!"
"Nothing, yet. Now run along, don't want to keep Goyle's father waiting" Lucius scooted Draco along with his cane and entered the elevator.
Pansy waited until she and Goyle were a ways away from Draco and Lucius before she spoke up. "You're father is on trial?!" She whispered
Goyle scrunched up his face in either anger of anguish,it was hard telling, and nodded before replying gruffly "Yeah" as they turned the corner.
"Hm. Sorry to hear that." Pansy replied, unsure as to whether he would appreciate sympathy for it. She glanced around at the surrounding doorways, "I wonder which one is Weasley's?" She muttered.
Goyle grunted in appreciation and looked arond and shrugged "I don't know..." he walked to the nearest door where a brass plate read
Reginald Frakensten "Well the doors all have nametags..."
"Ah, think this one may be it." Pansy pointed to the door that read
Arthur Weasley. She quietly walked over to the door as to not let Weasley hear her. She beckoned for Goyle to follow her, "Alright then, I've got an idea. You go in and talk to him about your father's trial while I steal a hair."
Goyle nodded and took a breath "Ok here I go."he knocked on the door after making sure Pansy was out of sight and waited for an answer.
Pansy and Goyle waited for a minute and didn't hear a response. "I don't think he's in there." Pansy mumbled. She walked in front of Goyle and cracked open the door. "Nope, nobody in here." She sighed, but continued to walk into the office.
Goyle walked in to the office behind her looking arond the office "Hmm...I wonder if there are any files in here that would be useful." he said walking over to an overflowing filing cabinet
"I wouldn't know." Pansy muttered as she looked all over the office for any sign of a hair.
Goyle shrugged and looked at the back of Mr.Weasly`s chair and noticed a single red hair on the back. "Here's one! You get it, I might drop it." He said, pointing to it with his fat fingers.
Pansy rolled her eyes and pulled out one of the small vials that Draco had borrowed from Snape earlier that day. She quickly picked Weasley's hair up and slid it into the vial. "There." She muttered at Goyle's incompetence. She stood up and placed the vial back into her robes, "Now all we need is to find three more." She stopped and slapped her forehead as something dawned on her, "Wait! What does he want us to do with the people that we're going to use?! Kidnap them?!"
Goyle shrugged and pulled a beaker of a purple liquid and swished it around "I was thinking we could use this." he nodded happily looking at Pansy "When we come back."
Pansy raised an eyebrow in surprise, "Good idea. We'll just have to make sure that we give them all that when we get back."
Goyle nodded absently watching the Sleeping draught swish around in the beaker smiling "Yeah who else are we gonna get?"
At that moment, a short, fat man came around the corner, whistling as he walked. He gave a friendly nod towards Pansy and Goyle.
Pansy gave a satisfied look after the man and smirked at Goyle. "Be my guest." She offered, nodding at Goyle, "But be discreate about it."
Goyle nodded and walked after the man slowly "Hey you!" Goyle shouted at the man, waiting for him to turn around and tapping him on the shoulder "You are Mr. Ignay arent you?" Goyle asked the man as he turned round
"Why yes I am, dear boy!" Mr. Ignay replied in a tone that Goyle and Pansy thought a bit too happy.
Goyle scowled back at him nodding "You were talking to my father this summer." he advanced a step "Right before his trial."
Mr. Ignay's face turned from a happy one to a shocked one. "You're Goyle's boy?"
Pansy shot a warning glance at Goyle. "Don't start." She mouthed to him.
Goyle nodded, his arm muscles tensing up and a vein on his neck pulsated a little "Why is it that after he spoke with you," he glared angrily at Mr. Ignay, ignoring Pansy "He was investigated by aurors?" Goyle said drawing up to his full height looking down upon Mr. Ignay angrily
"Ok then!" Pansy suddenly shouted, moving closer to Mr. Ignay. She carefully grabbed a hair from his head and stuck it into one of the vials in her robe pocket. "Sorry sir." She said after Mr. Ignay jumped a little at her as she grabbed the hair. "He's a bit tense, today is his father's trial."
"I see." Mr. Ignay nodded suspiciously, rubbing his head. "Well I best be off!" His mood turning cheerfully as he gave a smile to Pansy and tried his best to give a grin for Goyle. "Have a nice day." And he was off.
"The same to you." Pansy smiled back. When Mr. Ignay was out of sight, she turned and glared at Goyle, "You're lucky I saved you on that one, you could have gotten us kicked out, Draco would've
killed you!"
Goyle glared after Mr. Ignay angrily, clenching his fists his mucles tightening in his arms and a vein on his neck pulsating "We got the hair didnt we!?"
Pansy rolled her eyes at how clueless Goyle could be sometimes, "Nevermind. Let's just find the rest of them and get back."
Goyle nodded calming down a little bit looking at Pansy "Yeah..we need two more right?"
"Right." Pansy muttered, looking around the hallway. She noticed someone walking towards them and smiled, "Oh I've found the perfect one for Granger."
Madam Georgina Perriwinkle noticed Pansy and Goyle standing in the hallway,
"Hm. Must be new interns." She thought to herself as she kept walking. Madam Georgina Perriwinkle tsked towards the two when she noticed them staring. Of course she was used to it by now, being the only 149.73 pound midget in the Ministry that she knew of. She raised an almost disgusted eyebrow to Goyle and gave a slight nod toward Pansy.
As Madam Georgina Perriwinkle walked by, Pansy stiffled a laugh, "Okay. You get the hair on this one, I'll do the distracting, I can't resist!"
Goyle nodded as he watched the fat midget walking towards them returning the look of disgust muttering "Gnome..."
"Oo, bad way to start off." Pansy muttered to herself. She walked past Madam Georgina as she looked disgusted at Goyle, "Pardon him, he's a bit upset." She said, calming the midget down. As the midget looked away for a second, Pansy motioned for Goyle to get the hair.
"Quite alright." Madam Georgina Perriwinkle said, trying to release her anger in a fashion other than on the boy. She glanced at Pansy suspiciously, "Now who are you, child?"
"Pansy Parkinson, ma'am." Pansy said, trying not to pay attention to Goyle sneaking up behind the midget.
Goyle walked up behind her and grabbed a strand of hair yanking it out and wrapping it around his finger, balling up his fist to keep it safe, but it made him look rather threatining
"A pleasure my dear." Perriwinkle patted Pansy's hand, "I am Madam Georgina Perriwinkle, going on my fiftieth year here at this great facili- I beg your pardon!" She jumped as Goyle pulled her hair.
Pansy rolled her eyes and quickly thought up an excuse, "Goyle be careful there!" She shouted, maybe a bit too over-acted she thought to herself. "I'm terribly sorry, he's a bit out of it right now. His father's trial is today and he's not quite himself."
"Oh my dear boy!" Madam Georgina gasped, her anger completely dissolved by her pity for him, "Now just relax yourself." She said slowly, as if Goyle was slow, "Everything will be alright." She turned to Pansy, "Bless you child for taken care of this poor young man! I wish the best of luck! Good day." She said as she left the two and resumed walking down the hallway.
Pansy faked a smile and waved to Madam Georgina before turning back to Goyle, her smile immediately turning to rage, "What were you thinking?!" She whispered, re-collecting herself, "Look you stay here while I get the last hair." She said, pointing a threatening finger at Goyle. "Now who else is around here that we could use?" She asked to herself. Pansy noticed a taller young man that she immediately knew was Percy Weasley. "Ah perfect!" Pansy gave a large smile toward Goyle and followed closely behind Percy. After a moment, when she saw no one looking, Pansy quickly grabbed a strand of Percy's hair. "Oh my apologies sir!" She quickly replied to Percy's look of confusion before turning a corner as the Weasley continued walking. She stomped back to Goyle, showing him the hair as she placed it in a vial. "Right then, back to Draco." She glared as she and Goyle walked back to the elevator.
"Father look at me! What is going to happen to us?!" Draco said, beginning to get frustrated with the lack of answers he was getting from his father. He turned his head when Pansy tapped him on the shoulder. She gave him a small nod and he turned back to his father, "We're going back to Hogwarts. Atleast they know that something is coming and unlike you, they're doing something about it!" He snapped as he, Pansy and Goyle all got into the elevator. Once the doors opened, Draco stormed out and sped off to the other side of the street.
"Draco!" Pansy shouted after him as she and Goyle dodged traffic while following Draco across from the Ministry, "Draco what the hell is going on?!"
"I don't know!" Draco yelled, unable to hold in his frustration, "But something is going to happen. Its Azkaban, or Voldemort, I don't know!" He sighed at the look of shock on Pansy and Goyle's faces. "Look we've gotten all that Granger needs, now we've got to get back." He turned and kept walking towards the Portkey the three of them had used. Draco decided it best to stay silent as he and Pansy and Goyle went back to Hogwarts.
