(With Lucius Malfoy)

Lucius was sitting in his study. He was feeling empty. The reason was that an hour ago his wife and son took a port-key out of the country. Now he was alone. He just hoped that his mission was a success and he lived. He also hoped to see them again. Unfortunately he felt his mark flare up.

'I really hope he doesn't know they are gone.' He thought, standing to go to the man.

"Be careful." One of the death eaters warned.

"Another tantrum?" He asked.

"Yes. Not sure why." He answered.

"Damn. Thank you for the warning." He said.

"You're welcome."

Lucius took a deep breath before entering the throne room. He walked up to the dark lord. A few seconds later he was on the floor and in extreme pain. Voldemort had used the cruciatus curse on him. He only kept it on for a few minutes.

"Where is she?!" He demanded to know.

"Who?" He asked, gasping in pain.

"NAGINI!" He screamed.

"Last I knew she was in here with you." He answered.

"Find her!" He hissed. "I will be in my chambers, waiting." He stormed off.

Casting a few spells Lucius found her. She was in the throne room. She was in the corner, dead. Her head had been blasted off and he could only assume the pile next to the next was the head. It was hard to tell since it was red and looked like mush. He wondered what happened.

'While I am glad she is taken care of, the dark lord will punish me for this.' He thought.

With that in mind he quickly went home and sent a message to the minister. He then returned and gathered up the snake and put her into a box. He took her to the dark lord. He trembled as he presented her to him.

"WHAT HAPPENED?!" He demanded as he took the box from him.

"I found her dead in the corner of the throne room." He answered.

"How long?" He asked.

"Since yesterday." He answered.

"I see. Leave!" He demanded.

"Yes sir." Lucius was quick to leave.

Voldemort went inside his chamber. He brought the snake to his chest. She was the one creature he cared about. Now she was dead and the only one to blame was himself. He knew that. She must have been hit by a stray spell during his tantrum. That also meant there were no more horcruxes.

He was vulnerable. He knew it and hated it. One spell and he was dead. There was no coming back from that. After a few minutes he had all the death eaters leave. He didn't trust any of them, especially in his current state. He soon began plotting to gain back his strength and take Potter down.

(Ministry: Fudge's Office)

Fudge was in his office. He was doing paperwork when he noticed that his spy had left him a message. He quickly looked and was shocked. He then went to the unspeakable department and called a meeting. It didn't take long for everyone to arrive.
