116. Mission snake part 1

"Can you tell me again why we have to run through half of the Ministry to get these artifacts?" Severus grumbled, audible.
Sirius sighed.
"Do you want to annoy me? You have asked this question a lot more often than a child who wants to know from his parents when they will finally be there. Wherever is there? "
"Because I just do not understand it."
"Okay, then very slowly for bats who want to be stupid.
The artifacts are not only sinfully expensive but also dangerous. That's why they are not kept in any office. "
"But you're the damn minister." Severus snapped.
"Even the damn minister has to abide by the law." Moody reminded.
Severus snorted.
"What law?"
Sirius rubbed his nose in despair.
"The hidden have refused to give the things out of hand until the rightful owner picks them up. And that's just you. The same goes for the prophecy. The minister had addressed the last sentence to Harry.
"They can keep the part happy. I do not believe in bullshit. "Growled the vampire counselor.

The conversation that led Sirius and Severus was only partially played. the hidden ones had really refused to turn out the prophecy. Maybe it was because they could not. That's why they were on their way to the Mystery Department. A place to study the great secrets of magic and humanity. So they had agreed that the invented heirlooms of Salazar should be stored there.
If you asked Harry, predictions from alcoholics did not have much mystical about them. but no one asked him, so he just trotted behind his godfather and made sure that his friends did not fall out of his shadow.
They had all practiced this feat until they fell over. now they could balance themselves on the shadow of a hair without falling. At least that was Hermione's opinion.
The group was only accompanied by Moody, as the other Aurors in the basement would be waiting for them. but his shadow also had a hitchhiker, as did Severus and Sirius.
Harry was really happy when that day was over. He had fluttering hearts. Even if her plan was good, things could always go wrong. In fact, he was on the verge of failing. and that's just because Draco Malfoy had regained his mind at the most inopportune time.
The young wizard slowly began to realize what it really meant to work for Riddle. Well, being forced to incest could make you think.
only, could not the boy have left some weeks for that?
Harry knew he was very unfair at the moment and he behaved like a stubborn kid. But he could not help it.

They had gone to Ron's plan. Sirius had missed the time when the whole thing was about to start. Of course, within earshot of Draco. Unfortunately, he had not thought to give this information. At least not to Riddle.
he had informed his mother that she should try to keep Lucius out of this action, because otherwise he would probably be caught in the crossfire.
So, now they were there. Draco had found his conscience again, but that had been really bad timing. Even though Lucius and Narcissa had understandably performed almost a joyful dance.
Again, they could not deduct the number, however.
But, they were lucky, incredible luck even. One of the pictures had heard the conversation between Sirius and Harry. and that could not hold his painted beak. So this information went "confidentially" from picture to picture. And at some point it also happened to a Death Eater. No idea what, Lucius had not said that. This, of course, immediately wrote a letter to his parents. Of course they had passed it on to their master. And then Riddle "accidentally" learned of the actual appointment. In this way he had no suspicion.
Unfortunately, Draco already, because he knew now that he wanted to use him.
Merlin, the boy is really ingenious. I hope he does not do anything stupid, 'Harry mused.

Then he returned his attention to what was happening in front of him. They faced a small challenge. The lift.
Now it was important, they were not allowed to endanger their camouflage.
Luckily, everything went well. everyone came in the elevator without anyone noticing something. And here they could also talk undisturbed for the first time.
"I hope they swallowed the bait." Grumbled Moody.
"Have her, along with the twine and tail. I could smell her excitement. especially as Sirus said that with the Prophecy. "Reassured, Harry.
"How many?" Sirius wanted to know.
"I could smell at least twenty. But it does not have to be exclusively Death Eaters. as soon as my name and Severus' name fall, people unfortunately go crazy. "
"True," grumbled Severus.
"What's new about Draco?" The Minister now wanted to know about the Potions master.
"Not yet, but I think he will not fight for Riddle anymore."
"Nevertheless, he will be angry. at least that's how I would feel if someone tried to use me. Oh, I forgot, you've already done that. "Harry replied sourly.
"We'll take care of that later," grumbled Moody.
