Upon reading this article James was furious, he threw it to the ground and ground it underfoot.
"James what's wrong?" Scorpius which had just entered the room asked his brother. "Did something happen to dad?" The two were now on better terms with each other and no longer fought constantly, as two individuals born under the effects of live potions they understood each other better than anyone else could. While it was a lie that they could not feel love, they still had different emotional standards than other people their age and would often be seen as to mature for their age.
"The dam light that's what! How dare they!" James had his fathers temper and wanted to hit something, so he opted to punch the wall until his knuckles bled. Scorpius tried to stop him, but it didn't work, Draco entered the room and stopped his son, pulling the young man into his arms. "Hey what's wrong James? Don't hurt your self like this!" Draco asked holding the only part of Harry he had left.

"Dad..." James choked out not wanting to tell Draco what Harry had said.
"Dad, its this." Scorpius was full of rage and sadness, but he knew his father needed to see this.

Draco read the newspaper under James' attempts to stop him. By time Draco finished reading he was crying. James and Scorpius both comforted their father telling him that Harry didn't mean it, he was being controlled.

The three left their room and entered the audience room, where their subordinates and allies were gathered. James slammed the newspaper onto the throne speaking, "I'm sure you've all read this already. My father as I have shown you all proof of is under compulsion potions and means nothing he days or does, other wise there no way he'd be with that weasel instead of my father Draco, his mate! My mission for you is to escort Harper Skeeta to our home for an interview, its finally time to get my father back and if they refuse then it means War!" The wizards all shouted their approval and chorused "Yes my Lord!"

Harper was brought to the manor two days later. She was extremely nervous, she was investigating the Dark Lord so she knew exactly where she was being taken, she just hoped she wasn't going to be tortured.  Killed she could handle, tortured? No.

She was guided surprisingly politely and not roughy to a longue room. Inside the lounge room were three men on the left a tall blond man she recognised as Draco Malfoy, on the right a man she did not recognise with Blonde hair with black streaks and piercing red eyes. In between the two men was another unfamiliar one, he had Black hair with Blonde highlights and grey eyes. Both men looked slightly familiar, but she couldn't place them. Draco Malfoy extended his hand gesturing at the couch. "Please sit down." Harper sheepishly nodded and sat down across from the men. "There is no need to be so nervous, your article states you do not know our ambition we brought you here for an interview, feel free to take notes, photos and ask questions, you will not be harmed and will be returned home intact, although it will be blindfolded again, I am afraid I cannot compromise on safety for comfort." Harper's mouth hung open, she was so shocked at the mans words.
"If you leave you mouth open like that you'll be having flies for dinner, speaking of dinner..." Scorpius clicked his fingers and house elves carrying trays of food placed them onto the table and asked if they needed anything else reviving a negative they left the room.

Harper was furiously scratching away at her note pad and even took a photo of the house elves, they were all fully clothed and spoke in fluent English shown by their exchange. The man in the middle chuckled at Harper which caused her to look down
embarrassed. "Um, may I ask you names?" Harper asked the three which all three retuned with confused expressions.
"Did you not do your research on our inner circle?" The man Harper recognised as Malfoy asked her. Harper who had regained her composure set up a self writing quill that would document everything that happened. "I did as best I could all I got was confirmation of races allied with the Dark Lord and that the Malfoy's were a part of the inner circle.
