Bliss or Chaos? [Dramione]

"Mr. Potter is here to see you, Minister" 

I look up at my assistant, Alexis Matheson, and I give her a small smile. She has been my assistant ever since I became the Minister for Magic and that was about five years ago now.  Alexis opens the door and Harry walks in with a stressed look on his face. He silently sits down in the seat on the opposite side of my desk, looking down at the ground as he does. He has aged well, I have to admit, but that still doesn't hide the fact that he's growing in grey hairs already. It must be the stress of the job because he's had grey hair ever since he was thirty years old. 

"What's wrong, Harry?" I ask him with an arched brow. 

He sighs before looking up at me with a grim look on his face. 

"There's been a mass breakout at Azkaban" Harry says with a grimace on his face. 

"W-what? H-how did this happen?" I stuttered out of complete and utter shock.

There hasn't been a breakout at Azkaban ever since Voldemort was still alive and that was twenty years ago now. And who has broken out? Death Eaters? 

"I don't know Brie. But all of the escapees are Death Eaters so I'm thinking that someone is trying to finish what Voldemort started" Harry replied.

I sigh deeply and I stand from my desk. How could this have happened on my watch? I've made sure that the security at Azkaban has been doubled ever since I've become Minister of Magic. I need to have Harry send some Aurors to Azkaban for a few weeks until the escaped prisoners are found and locked back up. 

"I want a report on all of the prisoners that escaped and a squad of Aurors sent out by tomorrow morning at the latest" I say in my professional tone of voice. 

Harry quickly stands from his seat and nods his head. I wave my hand towards the door, motioning for him to leave. He leaves the room and closes the door behind him. I scowl and pull my Muggle cell phone out my robe pocket. I quickly dial Draco's number before holding the phone up to my ear. Draco and I both have Muggle phones so we can easily contact each other during the workday. Draco works from home, running Malfoy Inc. and occasionally watching our kids that haven't gone to Hogwarts yet. 

"Hello, Draco Malfoy speaking" Draco says almost immediately after he answered. 

"Hey, babe, it's me. Did you hear?" I ask. 

"Hear what?" He asks right back. 

"There's been a mass break out at Azkaban" I reply with a sigh. 

"Sweet Merlin...how are the Aurors handling it?" Draco asks. 

"Harry's sending a team over to Azkaban tomorrow morning and I'm expecting a list of all of the escapees" I reply. 

"Okay. I'll make sure that the kids are safe and I'll contact a few people to make sure the rest of our family remains safe" Draco says. 

"Alright. I love you" I say with a smile on my face. 

"I love you too"
