Chapter 57: Interview with a Death Eater Part 2

"That is the day he...he attacked the Longbottom family." He almost said the wrong name.

"What happened that day?"

"That day...we had a very long meeting to iron down the details for the attacks that were to take place that same night on several members of the vigilante group created by Dumbledore. The Dark Lord had a...special interest in the Longbotoms so he decided to go alone, very much against our recommendation."

"What did you do then?"

"My mission was to go with Dolohov and kill the Prewetts, damn blood traitors!"

'Molly Weasley family...' Harry recalled.

"Did you succeed?" Harry asked.

"For the most part. Only a few of the women survived, for what I know." Lucius answered without noticing Harry's cold expression.

"What happened next?"

"After our mission was completed, we went back to our hideout and waited for the remaining members to come back. By the end of the night, all of them were back, except for the Dark Lord himself..."

"Continue," Harry commanded.

"Bellatrix and the Lestrange brothers went to look for him at the Longbottom manor, but like our Lord, they never come back. We found out later, by the account of two surviving witnesses, Augusta Longbottom and a house elf, that the Dark Lord had been gravely injured during the attack and had fled the place."

"What about the Lestrange? did they find anything?"

"They disappeared after that night, we never saw them or received any message from them again. We don't know what happened to them."

"But he is still alive," Harry said. It was more a statement than a question.

Lucius struggled against the compulsion.

"Crucio!"

"So, who took the mantle of the new Dark Lord?"

"Lord Parkinson."

"Parkinson?, mmm..." He didn't recall much about that man from his past life. Which can only mean he was very unremarkable.

"Okay, continue."

"It was only meant to be temporary...a few months, maybe a year, until our Dark Lord returned. But he never returned and Lord Parkinson's influence became stronger as time passed. He gained the favor of most inner circle members and then he started to show himself in front of the outer circle members during our big reunions."

"He wanted everyone in the organization to recognize him as the one and only Dark Lord." Harry could easily guess that man's intentions.

Lucius nodded.

"His position has become unshakable now. He is truly a Dark Lord."

"And what is his goal? certainly, you are not going to tell me that he expects to take over the county with his magical might."

"No...Lord Parkinson is only decent when it comes to practical magic. But he is a cunning man. We have spent years following his instructions to infiltrate the most influential positions in the ministry as well as gaining seats of the Wizergamot to our side. In just one or two more years, we could have complete control of the country."

"A war of politics..." Harry said with dread. He had no clue how to fight something like that.

"And why did your group start to increase the attacks recently?" He asked.

"What do you know about the attempted kidnapping of Lily Potter?" He added.

"Oh...that. That was just a plan to lure out James Potter. The auror has been sticking his nose in our business too much lately. He has been trying to gather evidence of any illegal dealings..."

"You planned to use his wife to lay a trap for him and kill him. What about her?, were you going to kill her too?" he tried to sound detached at least.

A smile appeared on Malfoy's face.

"Eventually...after we had our fun."

Harry clenched his wand.

"If that's why you don't touch your wife?, you only liken it when they resist, is that it?"

Malfoy would have probably answered that one even without the veritaserum.

"Is the one thing those mudbloods are good for!. I like to see them squirm beneath me like-"

"Avada kedavra."

While he was reminiscing about his good times, a flash of green light hit Lucius Malfoy on his chest and his lifeless body fell on the polished wooden floor.

"Enjoy your time in Hell, Lord Malfoy."
