Harry Potter And The Prince Of Slytherin 78 Umbra Forest.

"Are you okay?" Narcissa asked in concern holding both the twins in her arms.

"Yeah!" Lucius sighed, "Thankfully the Ministry arrived in time and I could get back home quickly."

"Draco..."

"Draco should be fine for now." Lucius sighed, "The ministry themselves were shocked about Pius's betrayal and now he has Theodore with him."

"That idiot son of mine." Mr. Nott sighed, "Have they found clues about Theodore's whereabouts?"

"Yes, he left some message in his house talking about a hidden place, in Romania. Supposedly to taunt us or to lure Draco there. The timing and everything makes me believe that this was all carefully planned, probably leaving this as Plan B,"

"Draco, where is he?" Mr. Parkinson asked. He had hidden the information about Draco and all the drama going on till now to Pansy, but with the situation getting so serious, it was only a matter of time before she and the whole magical community knew about it.

"I don't know." Lucius said, "But he is clever enough to keep himself alive at least."

"What is the ministry going to do about this?" Mr. Nott asked.

"The ministry will send highly trained Aurors to look for Pius's and your son's whereabouts Mr. Nott." Fudge followed by some Aurors walked inside the room. Dobby hid behind a cupboard quickly, still listening to their conversation.

"Cornelius, if even a strand of my son's hair is harmed-- I will come after you," Mr. Nott said standing up.

"*Cough* I apologize." Fudge quickly said, afraid that these pureblood families would turn against him, "I didn't expect them to have such hidden agendas, I have already ordered for the disbandment of the force and all the members are already captured and are being questioned."

"Torture them and get the answer out of them quickly." Mr. Greengra.s.s said in an annoyed tone, he had enough of this nonsense, they were already being suppressed after Voldemort's death and now the public went far as to harm their children, they were really taking this too far.

"We are." Fudge nodded quickly, "We have also captured their informants from Romania and we are torturing them to get some answers out of them but we have found something unexpected."

"What is it?" Lucius asked.

"Most of the Aurors and people under the organization were under the Imperius curse." Fudge said shocking everyone.

"Imperius..." Lucius murmured.

"Yes, some of the Aurors were under the Imperius curse whereas the others where completely fine and had acted on their own will." Fudge said handing out some doc.u.ments to Lucius and others to see. "I am afraid that someone new and powerful has risen up."

"Pius?"

"I don't know." Fudge shook his head, "But going back to his records, he doesn't have any motive nor is he powerful enough to put so many trained Aurors into the Imperius curse alone, someone powerful must be behind him."

"Lucius, we need to find Draco," Narcissa said worriedly.

"We don't know where he is." Lucius shook his head, "The least we know is that he is somewhere in Romania but Merlin knows where?"

"The Prophet has got the wind of it." Fudge broke down another bad news slowly, afraid he would get shouted at again. "The news about this situation would be published tomorrow. I tried to stop them but couldn't."

"It's good." Mr. Nott said sitting back sighing, "More people would be cautious about it and helping find Draco and Theodore would be easier."

"Don't worry." Lucius patted his shoulders, "Our sons are intelligent enough to know what to do. You should have seen your son today, he fought bravely."

Mr. Nott didn't say anything and just nodded.

"We have decrypted the clue to a forest in Romania." Fudge said, "Pius is likely hidden somewhere inside the forest. As for Draco, his whereabouts has also been pinpointed towards another forest deep in the mountains."

"Then what are you waiting for." Narcissa snapped at Fudge, "Go and search for them."

"We are trying to." Fudge said sweating slightly, "But the forests are too large for us to search them within a day. We don't have enough manpower to do all the work so it will take some time."

"Let's join the search then." Mr. Greengra.s.s suggested, "Half of us will look for Draco and the rest will look for Theodore."

"Yes." Lucius nodded, "Cornelius, quickly tell us where they are."

"Draco is in a forest named Venus and as for Theodore he is inside the Umbra forest." Fudge said in relief, he came here to ask them for help but he didn't have the guts to do so but lucky for him, all of them voluntarily agreed to it.

After saying their farewells all of them quickly headed of too the Ministry to get to Romania quickly. (So I have made it, that the ministry has access to all over Europe and come and go easily unlike other people.)

Narcissa sighed praying for Draco's safety and left the room taking care of the twins. Dobby was confused as to what was going on but he didn't let it bother him too much, now all he had to do was go back and tell Draco the information he had collected. As soon as he about to disapparate, someone sneakily came back inside the room again. He looked around as if he was searching for something and after a while, the man took out something from the h.o.a.rds of books on the shelf.

"...Harry Potter, it's your doom."

Dobby didn't hear the complete sentence but he heard something about Harry Potter. The more he listened the more shocked he got, wanting to listen more he walked near to the man only to knock a Flower vessel off the table on the ground by accident. The man looked back towards the source of noise, "Who's there?" The man called out.

Dobby afraid of being caught quickly disapparated back to the 12 Grimmauld place.

---------------------------------------------

Draco was still searching for clues in the dining room when Dobby disapparated back. Dobby breathed heavily looking slightly worried.

"What's wrong?" Draco asked. "Did you get caught?"

"No, Master Draco." Dobby quickly shook his head looking suspicious as he began to tell all the information that he had heard.

Draco sighed in relief knowing his father was fine. "So Umbra..." Draco quickly searched for the map again under the pile of books, "So there it is." Draco thought out loud, The Umbra forest wasn't that far away from Venus.

"Is there something else Dobby?" Draco asked looking back at Dobby who was still there.

"Ye-- No." Dobby quickly shook his head.

Draco looked suspiciously at Dobby but he didn't have time to take care of it. "Leave," Draco said as he carried the books and the stuff he had collected going back to the suitcase. He closed the door, leaving the stuff inside his potion room.

Draco got out of the suitcase as he looked around the dark place, it was already night here. Draco had already decided on what to do so he went back to the cave where Elanor was.

------------

Back inside the cave two Veela's had already caught the trace of Elanor and where fighting her inside the cave. "You'll die today." A veela said throwing fireball towards Elanor who barely dodged it. Her bleeding hadn't stopped and she was way too weak to carry on. 'Sigh! am I really going to die today.' She thought struggling to attack back.

Suddenly she heard a familiar voice and before the Veela's could react the two of them had arrows in their body, as they slowly fell down dying not even knowing what killed them.

"Killing is really different in real life," Draco said walking in as he ignored the dead bodies on the ground, today he had seen more than enough and now by the end of the day he had even killed two people with his own hand.

"You are back." Elanor said weakly smiling.

"Sigh! Take this." Draco said pa.s.sing a vial of red liquid. Elanor looked at it and from the smell, she immediately recognized, what it was. "Dragon blood..." She said quickly opening the vial and drinking it, the moment she did her wound closed up completely healing her not even leaving a scar.

"Well, that's convenient." Draco said.

"Do you want to become one too?" Elanor asked looking at him, wiping the blood off her face.

"What? A vampire?"

Elanor nodded cutely, "No, thanks." Draco said shaking his head, "I love being human, at least for now."

"You sure?" Elanor asked, "It has many benefits you know?"

"I would have to kindly decline." Draco shook his head, "So can you move now?"

"The blood heals my wound but I am still exhausted." Elanor said looking at the body of the two Veela's on the ground, "But whether I can or not, We have to get out from here."
