Percy felt very accomplished as he walked into the Ministry.

He had successfully shut down his "brothers'" store. He couldn't believe that

they had thought that they could've gotten anywhere with a prank store.

Seriously! The only thing stupider than trying to start a prank store was

deciding it was a good idea to get involved with Harry Potter.

That boy was nothing but trouble and bad decisions. Percy

didn't care what the Ministry or Dumbledore said, that boy would bring nothing

but bad luck and bad fortune to us all.

When he walked to his desk he saw that there was a missive

from the Minister.

He must want to congratulate

me on a job well done. Percy thought as he swiftly made his way towards the

Minister's office, just missing the start of the barrage of Howlers that was

making its way to his desk.

"You wanted to see me sir?" Percy asked after knocking on

the door and entering.

"Yes Noname. Sit down. Do you know why I have called you

hear today?" Fudge asked with a harassed and unusually grim expression on his

face.

"No sir." Percy said bristling at the reminder of the fact

that he was without a last name. I hope

Penny hasn't been hurt. We are due to get married soon.

"I called you in here because of today's Daily Prophet. Have you read it yet?"

"No sir, I always get the Prophet after I have signed in and seen my workload for the day."

"Well," the Fudge said sliding a copy towards Percy with the main story facing

up and a picture of his face staring back at Percy. "I'd suggest you read it

before anything else happens."

Percy stormed out of the Ministry extremely frustrated and

humiliated. Fired!! He couldn't believe he had been fired. He couldn't believe

that the twins had done that! He didn't know what the huge concern was, he knew

those sluts had enjoyed it. At least he hadn't been arrested.

When he got to the Apparation room, he quickly apparated to

Diagon Alley so that he could contact his mother.

Dumbledore was sitting in his office, calmly sucking on his lemon

drops when it came. At first there was nothing on the horizon, then it was like

a sea of red. It was Howler after Howler.

HOW DARE YOU!!!! YOU ADULTERER! YOU HAVE DELIBERATELY SHAMED

THE LORD OF A LIGHT FAMILY! YOU HAD SEX WITH ARTHUR WEASLEY'S WIFE!!! THAT

CHILDREN WERE ACTUALLY CONCIEVED FROM THIS BLATANT CHEATING IS DISPICABLE -

Albus cut it off before it could finish. He also vanished

the rest of the Howlers before they could go off. Outraged, he summoned the

Prophet that he had left to read for later.

As he read the paper, his face got redder and redder before

he finally exploded.

"POTTER!!! THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT!"

Molly was on her knees scrubbing the back rooms of The Leaky Cauldron when she found out

the news.

She had known that something was wrong since Tom had shouted

for her to come to the front instead of asking somewhat nicely like he normally

did. Don't get her wrong, she knew Tom hated her as much as all the other shop

owners but at least he had let her work as a bar wench. She was positive that

if anyone complained, she would be out of work.

"Noname! Get out here know!!" Tom shouted at her.

She scurried out from the backroom wondering what could

possibly be wrong.

"Yes sir?"

"THIS IS THE LAST STRAW!!" he said waving around the Daily Prophet around in his hand while a

room full of customers watched on happy to see that bitch put in her place. "I

let you get away with having your two bastard children here with you.

Especially your bottomless pit of a son, who tried to steal my money or eat all

of my stock, or even you slut of a daughter, who obviously takes after you,

chasing off my customers with her overly brazen attitude."

"What are you-" she started before being cut off.

"SILENCE!! This article is what I'm talking about." He threw

the paper towards her and she read it. When she finished reading she looked up

with a wide eyed expression on her face, prepared to do anything to keep her

job.

"Don't even say a word. I could kind of ignore what you did

to the Weasleys and Prewetts. What you did to Harry was harder to ignore but I thought

'Why not? She couldn't have done anything else truly terrible.' Then I found

this out! Is there no end to all the trouble and chaos you cause? You are hereby

fired from working here. I hope that you shall never dirty my doorstep again." He

finished off to a room full of clapping at the bitch getting what she deserved.

Throughout the whole thing Ginny, Hermione, and Ron watched

with a horrified expression as Molly got kicked out of the only source of income

that they had. What were they supposed to do to get food? Quickly, Molly ushered

her kids and Hermione into the Alley hoping that one of the shop keepers would

take pity on her and let her work for anything.

Tom read the article and wept for his sons' mates. For them

to go through so much pain before they could even mate was bad luck. It would

make the mating process a lot harder.

"My lord?" Lucius questioned, walking into the room.

"Lucius, what have I said about calling me that? Please call

me Tom. James would've hated me for making my friends call me that."

"Of course Tom. What do we do know?"

"Commence Plan B and get them all here now. I don't think

they'll be safe for much longer."

"Of course Tom. Severus would like me to mention that SHE

contacted him."

"SHE did?!" Tom gulped looking a little frightened.

"Yes, SHE did. SHE said to expect her in a few days to see

you. SHE said it would be futile to hide because SHE would find you anyway."

Lucius said looking amused at what the mention of HER name did to Tom.

"Fine." He sighed. "Tell Severus to tell HER that I'll

expect her in a few days."
