"Albus! Are you all right?" Ginny asked as Albus landed in the diner fireplace.

  "Yes. I'm fine, Mum. Where's Lily?"

  "Oh," she said soflty. "I thought you were with her."

  "Well," Albus said uncertainly. "I thought I heard Scorpius Malfoy say 'You're coming with me' and I heard Lily scream."

  "Oh dear. Harry!"

  "Good boy, Scorpius."

 "Thank you father. Now, I bet any minute now, Albus and his family will come and try to find Lily." Scorpius glanced over at Lily. She had a hankerchief stuffed in her mouth, and her hands were bound together with a magical spell.

  "Harry Potter will come and this will be my chance to defeat him once and for all. Then who will fight for the Ministry of Magic?"

  "No one."

  "That's right. Then us Death Killers, under my lead, will take control over the Ministry. We will make Death Killers of Muggles and make our wizarding world more powerful than it is right now. Now one will be able to rise up against us. We will rule with Dark Magic, and we will show the Minister what real power feels like. James! Come here."

  "Yes, Master?"

  "Go and make sure Albus and his family are coming."

  "Yes sir."

  "On the count of three. One-two-th-" Albus withdrew his hand from the group. His Pigmy Puff, Egg, dropped a letter. The letter had a red stamp on it. That only meant that the letter was of an emergency situation. Albus opened it.
