Obliviate

Chapter Six

*In the previous chapter:

And that was how their days went. The teenagers would clean with Molly and Ronald, pretending that they were actual family, eat dinner with the present order members and then go plan how to take down that same order's leader at night with their real family. Sirius stayed at Black Manor and was only seen during dinner, where he sat quietly eating and only talked to the teens, Remus or his cousin Tonks, if they were eating with them. Remus, on the other hand, only showed up once a week at most. He pretended he was busy with work and order business, while he was actually in the hidden manor helping his wife and friends with their plans.

A week after the presumed dead wizards and witches were 'resurrected', they started the first step of their plans and sent out the letters to everyone involved.

When he had woken up that morning, Lucius Abraxas Malfoy was not expecting what would happen that day. He had woken up feeling empty and lonely, which was a normal feeling for him, he was used to it. He had had breakfast with Narcissa and Draco, engaging in casual, but boring, conversation. Don't get him wrong, he loved them both, but he just didn't feel like they were a family.

After breakfast, he went to his office. While he was going through ministry paperwork, an owl flew through the window, dropped a letter in front of him and left before he could even blink.

After staring at the place the owl had come from for a few minutes, he took the letter from off of his desk and opened it, and what he read both confused, shocked and excited him. He knew whose handwriting that was, but she was supposed to be dead.

Lord Malfoy,

I am writing to inform you that I have taken up the mantel of Lady of the House of Black, and as your wife is a member of my house, I decided to inform you promptly so that you and your family may know before the next Wizengamot meeting, where I will be announcing myself.

I would also be honoured if you and your family would join me and some of my associates and friends for dinner tonight at six pm to maybe discuss how I would go about inducting myself into the Wizengamot. I would also like to ask you some questions about the agendas of the different sects of the Wizengamot to see which one I should align the House of Black with. There are a few things I would also like to inquire upon and was told you were the best one to approach.

If you and your family are available and willing to join me for dinner, this letter is a word activated portkey. The activation code is 'toujours pur'.

Yours sincerely,

Baroness Black

Lady of the Noble and Most Ancient House of Black.

He knew it was Lyra Black, but that couldn't be possible because she was dead. But no one he knew who would trick him, knew the famous Marauder saying, especially not in Latin. He was definitely curious now. There was something going on and he was going to find out what that was. Making a final decision, he stood up and went to find Narcissa. They had a dinner invitation at six pm that night to get ready for.
