(With Voldemort)

Voldemort was in the throne room. He was the only one there. His minions were too scared to go near him. They knew he was beyond pissed off. He was ready to curse everyone and everything. It didn't matter that they had done nothing wrong. No one wanted to be cursed by him.

"ARRRRRRRRRHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" The man screamed in anger.

Nothing was going right. First Skeeter gets herself arrested. Then Rees gets herself arrested. Her useless brother couldn't kill her. Instead he fled the country. Finally Rees allowed herself to be given the truth potion and spilled her guts. He couldn't kill her because she was with the harpies.

He blamed Potter and the others. Nothing had gone right since he attacked the Potters. That boy was dripping in good luck and it worked against him. It wasn't fair. He began to stomp his feet in anger.

"THAT STUPID BOY WILL PAY WHEN I FINALLY GET MY HANDS ON HIM!" He screamed.

The only good thing that boy did was get Dumbledore out of the way. Now he was working on taking down Voldemort. That was what the dark lord believed at least. He didn't realize that Potter had nothing to do with this. It was all the Ministry.

"HOW DARE HE STOP ME FROM TAKING OVER!" His arms flailed as he stomped around. "HE IS ONLY A CHILD AND I AM THE GREATEST WIZARD THAT EVER LIVED!"

He was a second away from throwing himself on the ground. All the minions that were in the manor with him cringed. Their master was acting like a toddler that was told no cookies before dinner. They felt embarrassed for him and were questioning their decision to follow him.

"IT'S NOT FAIR! IT'S JUST NOT FAIR AT ALL!" He screamed.

He just needed to get into the school. Problem was that he wasn't sure how. He couldn't manipulate the wards like he could with Hogwarts. The wards were done by gods. He knew they were very powerful and he wasn't even close to them.

"I WILL MAKE SURE THAT BOY PAYS DEARLY!" He screamed.

Voldemort flopped onto his throne. He was exhausted. He was too weak to be using that much energy.

His minions were relieved that the screaming stopped. Lucius Malfoy left after that. He reported what happened.

(At the Ministry)

Fudge went to the head unspeakable's office after reading his spy's note. Everyone involved with taking down Voldemort was already there.

"My spy told me the dark lord is unstable. He had a tantrum when he learned what happened at the trial." He told them. "How close are we to taking him down?" He asked.

"We have one more horcrux. Problem is that the horcrux is his snake. I would ask your spy but I don't want to put them in more danger." The head unspeakable said.

"They said the snake never leaves his side." He frowned.

"That's the problem." They sighed.

"What should we do then?" He asked.

"We haven't come up with a good plan yet." Moody said.

"I see." He didn't like that.

"Sorry sir." He didn't like it either.

"Not your fault." He said. "Hopefully we can come up with a plan to destroy the last horcrux."

"So far the only thing we thought of is storming his manor and taking out the snake and then him but obviously that is dangerous." Kingsley said.

"And we aren't taking risks like that." Moody said.

"What about poisoning the snake with basilisk venom?" The head unspeakable asked.

"How?" The minister asked.

"Injecting a mouse or rat with it and them placing a spell on it to get it to move around like it is alive." They said.

"Wouldn't she detect it?" Kingsley asked.

"We plan on masking the scent and taste of the venom and masking the magic." They said.

"How would we get it into the manor?" Amelia asked.

"I haven't figured out that part yet." They answered.

"I would say leave it near the wards of the manor but that wouldn't grantee it getting inside the manor and near the snake." Kingsley said.

"Maybe the spy can help." Moody said.

"I can ask." Fudge said.

"We will try to come up with another way and other ideas." The head unspeakable promised.

Good. Now I must get back. I am certain my undersecretary is waiting for me." He said

The group disbanded after that. The head unspeakable began preparing the rat.

(With Lucius Malfoy)

Lucius was in his office when he saw the message from the minister. He wrote back before making a plan. He wanted to make sure his family was safe before any attempts were made.

He was willing to risk his life for this. Anything to make sure his family was safe. First though he needed to get his family out of the country. He would have done it sooner but the dark lord knew where all the Malfoy properties were. His father told him and gave him a sheet that magically updated to keep track of all purchases made from all vaults.

Luckily he found a way around it. His wife's sister Andromeda was disowned. She had her own vault that the dark lord didn't track.

Everyone believed Narcissa and himself didn't talk to her or her family. They were wrong. They had kept in touch. In public they pretended to hate each other.

Sirius gave her a large sum of money. She used it to buy a house in America. She then gave them access. Sirius didn't buy it himself because he knew the Black account was being watched by the dark lord. He too had been given a sheet that updated itself. Orion gave it to him.

Sirius didn't know how to stop it. If he did he would have. Once he had the port-keys ready he called his wife into the office. She stood in front of him and waited.

"Draco will be home for the weekend. I need you both to take this port-key and go to our new house in America." He told her.

"What about you?" She asked.

"Hopefully I will be able to meet you both there." He said.

"I see. Be careful my love." She said.

"I will." He promised.

"What about Draco's education?" She asked.

"Already taken care of. There is a live-in tutor on the property. She has been sworn to secrecy." He revealed.

"Good. I'll go instruct the house elves on what I need packed." She said.

"Okay." He said before she left. "I just hope this works." He said.
