Marlene and Sirius muttered Lumos and light appeared at the tips of their wands."Split up." Marlene said. "Aye aye Cap'n." Sirius smirked. "Now is not the time." They split up.Marlene went left,Sirius went right. "Come on Reg where are you?" Marlene whispered. She walked deeper into the wearhouse until she heard Sirens. Marlene ran in the directions of the Sirens. She heard something cock. "Drop whatever you're holding." Someone said aiming a gun at Marlene. Several officers came in with guns loaded. Marlene stepped back. She saw that the officers were holding someone against the hood of the car."Marlene do it!" It was Regulus.The officer holding Regulus against his will punched him. Regulus's nose began to bleed. Marlene threw her wand to her side and lowered to her knees.An officer cane behind her and hand cuffed her. He forced her up and into the car.

Minutes later Marlene and Regulus we're thrown into a cell. "Hey at least it's not Azkaban." Marlene said. "Yeah." "Ok which one of you is Regulus?" An Officer asked. Regulus nodded and the officer took him into a room.Regulus surprisingly cooperated.The officer forced Regulus in a chair. "Do you have anything to do with this?" The officer asked holding a picture.Regulus reconized the dark mark in the sky. He nodded. "What is this called?" "The Dark mark." "Why is it over several different houses?" "Once someone called a Deatheater full fills a murder for this man they say something and light flashes through a specific stick and the mark appears to state that this family has been successfully murdered." Regulus said. "Who is this man?" "Can't say." "Why not?" "His name's tabooed.His followers will find you and murder or capture you." "How many followers?" "He gains some every day.The last I checked he had 287." "How does he gain them?" "They go to his Mercy and beg to write for him so they don't die when he reeks havock." "When dies he reeks havock?" "He's dead.But his followers try to resurrect him." "How long does it take to successfully resurrect him?" "No idea." "Ok.Thats all.Thank you for cooperating." Regulus nodded and the officer took him back to the cell Marlene was in.

"If we make it out in at the very most an hour we might have time to get ready for Slughorn ball." Regulus said. "I doubt we'll get out if here anytime soon." Marlene said as an officer walked up. "Ma'am are you related to Mr. Regulus?" The officer asked. "No." "How long have you known him?" "Eleven years." "Ok and how old are you?" "17." "Do you have any older siblings that can come get you?" "Yes." "Age?" "23 and 21." "Names?" "Marcus and Matthew McKinnon." "Are they working?" "Yes." Marlene said as someone entered the room. "Ma'am I'm here to take these two home." It was Lily. Thank God! Marlene thought. "Please follow me." The officer said to Lily and she followed.

30 minutes later Lily came and Marlene and Regulus were free to go."Ma'am do you have someone who can come back and answer a few more questions?" The officer asked. "Yes.Ill send him tomorrow." "Ok." The officer let Regulus and Marlene out of the cell and they left the building. "Why were you in jail?" Lily asked with her arms crossed. "Someone told the officers that I had worked with a murder." Regulus said. "And Marlene was there at the time." "Ok.I might know who let slip." Lily said. "Who?" Marlene asked. "Vernon." Lily said and they apparated to base and dressed for Slughorns ball.
