Summary: The aftermaths of the attacks

He wasn't sure why he was left alive, but as soon as they've left, he scrambled for his watch and called the office for a report. Attack at the house of the Chief of the Wizengamot. Eight masked Death Eaters. Rabastan Lestrange. (hesitation) Lily Potter. All dead. Office searched and emptied."

He slumped back onto the floor, a headache from the hexes they'd used on him quickly forming. He needed a minute before he could get back on his feet again. Then he needed to get to work, talk to the ones sent here, go to the Ministry for questioning. It was going to be a long night and day.

Narcissa arrived at the Ministry with her security in tow. For once, she didn't go to her office, but walked straight into Potter office after having made sure that someone was getting her secretary back in the office.

She sat down. "Lucius has disappeared. I questioned the portraits and they said that Scorpius went in and they never came out again. Scorpius never left his room. I'm pretty sure it was Bella. Now tell me what happened to the Odgens."

Harry had not expected the Minister to come into his office but to be called into hers. When she did arrive he stood up, and waited to sit down until she did. "Minister," he said, listening when she said Lucius disappeared.

"So that explains what Bellatrix was doing tonight and we're up to three attacks," he said. "They attacked Garden Court too."

"Anyway. Starting with the Ogdens. Rabastan Lestrange and a group of Death Eaters came into the house, no one knows how. From what the surviving Auror tells us, the masked men spread out through out the house, we're assuming they put up anti-apparition jinxes since the Ogdens didn't Apparate out. We know they raided the office and the house of important papers while Rabastan led the actual attack. The Aurors were petrified before they saw anyone, the Ogdens were killed trying to escape."

He paused if but for a second. "Rabastan had someone else in company as well," he said and by Merlin he wished he didn't have to do this. "My daughter was seemingly with him. They were holding hands, kissing, torturning and killing. We know she killed at least one of the Aurors, tortured the survivor. She likely was the one to kill the Ogdens as well, but we aren't absolutely sure about that since our witness was still petrified at the time."

"We cannot rule out polyjuice, especially if Bellatrix used it to get entrance to Malfoy manor and since they purposely left one Auror alive to tell the tale. That is no doubt directed at me and James. However with Selwynn's and Scorpius' testimony, we cannot rule out that it was her." He handed Narcissa the open file. He was almost surprised that he could sound as professional and detached as he did, but pushing his emotions down and out of the way helped. He could feel later.

"As I said, there was an attack on Garden Court as well tonight," he went on, taking the next file. "Voldemort himself attacked almost exactly at the same time that Rabastan led the attack on the Ogdens," he said handing her the other attack. "Again we have no idea how he got in. We know he wasn't alone. The occupants woke up from the wards going off as he tried to get upstairs and had just enough time to get out on their brooms before he broke through. The house was destroyed and set on fire. There is nothing left. James stripped it of spells and left it for the Muggle fire department."

He handed her that file too. "The attacks were simultaneous, they all appeared in houses which you cannot Apparate to. The wards were intact when they arrived and when they left. They hardly used the front door or we'd know. The Floo was disconnected completely in two out of thee cases, tightly controlled in the third. And yet the Floo seems to be the most logical answer. We're looking into that at the moment."

Lily Potter and Rabastan Lestrange, what a nightmare!

She looked at the files while she talked, her eyes skimming expectedly over what was important, already forgetting the irrelevant things. "This is going to be hell when the press finds out, and considering the way the message was relayed, expect it to end up in the media sooner rather than later. Get with Jorkins when you have time, get a statement ready on why the news wasn't released by us, how it damages the investigation, how it's connected to another case. We're keeping the news about Lucius and Scorpius under wrap. The last thing I need is people wondering why Death Eaters can walk into my house. Get your son ready too. Like it or not, the press likes him, and they will ask him question." The boy would end up being more useful than Potter with his reassuring smile.

"I see even He is obsessed with your son. The house has no strategic value, no governmental impact, nothing other than your son being there." If there was any way to use James to get to the Dark Lord, she would have, but she couldn't hand him another Potter. "Your son's spells were enough to keep Voldemort at bay while trained security couldn't keep them away from the Chief of the Wizengamot. What's wrong with this picture? Why can a twenty year old trainee put spells to stop Him and not your people?"

She stacked the reports and let them drop on the desk, in front of Potter. "Go down there, and find out how. If we shut down the Floo, we will have chaos in our hands, but until you do, I have no choice. We can't have him using our Floo to enter every home in the country. If you're right, this could have been so much worse, only his arrogance saved us. Kill the people in charge, you have anarchy, and He takes over." She stood up. "Get me answers and get them quick."

Harry nodded at the orders, and for once he did not grumble or even frown about the media. No this was about trying to find a way to protect his daughter as far as was possible. He'd listen. He'd do everything he can to pay attention and learn all the things he needed to know before meeting the press.

"I'll try to meet with Jorkins today if possible," he said. "And I'll talk to Jamie."

Harry looked at her when she questioned the wards. "One because my son had wards on his second floor where they sleep and the Ogdens did not. Two because my son though young is a very powerful wizard. There is strength to his spells that most don't have." It wasn't bragging when it was true.

He nodded. "Yes, Minister," he said. "We'll find out and you'll have your answers as soon as we do."
