Madilin VanCourt: A Marauders Fanfic [COMPLETED]

The Ministry of Magic

I sat on a chair in a small room, deep within the ministry of magic. I had been brought here by the two aurors, who quickly left the room and had been gone for about an hour.

They hadn't given me any other information about what happened except that it involved my family.

I shifted in my seat and stared at the door next to the small window in the wall. I thought about getting up and trying to open it.

I could try and find someone but I was almost positive that there was someone watching me.

I studied the room further, the table had four chairs and I was in the one farthest from the door. There were scratches on the legs where I assume handcuffs had been placed.

The room was brown and the door was made of metal. There were nine or ten locks on the door and I wondered what kind of criminals were put in here.

I heard footsteps echo down the hallway, they grew louder and louder before they paused outside the door.

Someone fiddled with the door handle and the large door opened with a creak.

The auror, Moody stepped through the door. He hobbled across room on what I assumed was either a limp or a fake leg.

Moody sat down across from me and sighed heavily. He pointed to a bandage on his shoulder that looked dirty and bloody.

"Your father did this to me."

"Why?" Was all I could think to ask.

"I tried to stop him and fifteen other death eaters from breaking prisoners out of Azkaban." He said. "I'm hoping you can help us find him."

"What are death eaters?" I asked him.

"They are the followers of a rising leader. He calls himself-"

"Voldemort." I interrupted him. "They wanted more followers for Voldemort. Didn't they?"

"You knew?"

"I knew they agreed with him, I didn't think they would go this far though. They wouldn't jeopardize so much if they didn't think he was getting powerful."

Moody looked conflicted, obviously trying to decide how much information to give me.

"Listen, I'll help you if I can, but they are still my family. I just want my brothers to be okay."

"We need you to give us some information about some of the people involved in the attack." He asked.

"Alright", I agreed cautiously. "What's going to happen to them?" I asked.

"We'll bring them into Azkaban probably." He said gruffly.

"So they can be broken out again?" I said, I could tell I was getting on his nerves.

"If you could just answer the questions."

I nodded and he took out a large file folder from his coat. He pushed it across the table to me.

"I'll let you take a look at this." He got up from the table and opened the door. "I'll be back in an hour or two."

The auror left before I could get another word in.
