"The denseness of the mana... I couldn't control it." Draco said to himself after trying out a couple more spells. The regular mana he was used to wasn't hard to master at all, in fact, he didn't even put the thought in his brain while using it as the spell would only use the necessary mana but this dense one was complicated and wasn't the same as before as it spirals out of control, draining him dry. Wanting to get that feeling again Draco quickly used various type of spells to Drain his mana but was left with nothing.

After experimenting the whole night, Draco came up with two conclusions, one... his body had changed completely, but whether the cause of it was anything to do with his original wand or the Veela thing was still left unsure, two... the mana regeneration process was smoother and quicker than ever before but every time it refills he was left with an exhausted body and the denseness of the mana decreased every time as well, resulting in weaker spells.

The new changes in his body weren't too alarming as it could be used to his advantage, but Draco couldn't help but feel concerned, none the less. The changes negate the benefits of his original wand making his new wand just as useful but what was concerning was that, his body was slowly changing and Draco didn't know what was causing it.

----------------------------------------------

Morning came and Lucius handed Draco a letter.

"You look tired, are you okay?" Lucius asked with a bit of concern, "Did you stay awake all night again?"

"I am fine." Draco said rubbing his eyes, "So what did Fudge say?"

"He agreed." Lucius said turning back, "He asked you to come meet him at 11 at the ministry."

Draco nodded as he quickly read through the content of the letter.

"Oh, he also asked you to come wearing a robe, as this is a matter of life and death for him, I am sure he wouldn't try anything stupid." Lucius said, "Will you be fine?"

"Yeah, don't worry." Draco said taking out a small pouch and a spoon. Taking out a spoonful of the powdered substance from the pouch, he ate it. He quickly drank a lot of water to chug the whole thing down as he sighed in relief.

"What was that?"

"Powdered Hodag's horn." Draco said, "With it, I can go on for several days."

"Be sure to get a proper sleep now and then." Lucius said, "The powder is just delaying the effect but it would hit sooner or later and it would hit hard, so I suggest you to not take it regularly."

"Don't worry, I know what to do."

"I hope so." Lucius said, "I will come with you to the ministry."

"No need." Draco shook his head, "With you there, it will be more obvious to people who I am."

"Then a kid walking around wouldn't?" Lucius said, "Even if you have grown taller, you aren't tall enough to fool many people, especially those aurors walking around the place and with your current reputation, I hardly doubt people would find it hard to pinpoint you."


"I have a solution for that." Draco said walking towards Lucius and pulling a couple of his hair out. Before getting yelled Draco quickly took out a bottle and showed it to Lucius.

"Polyjuice potion?"

"Yes, with it I can sneak in and sneak out easily." Draco said, "I realized in my so-called journey that these things are really helpful."

"So you mean you've done this before?" Lucius said narrowing his eyebrows, "Don't tell me you stayed in those cheap hotels with my face."

"That's-- well not true at all." Draco awkwardly said as he quickly escaped from the room leaving the fuming Lucius alone.

-------------------------------

After the time arrived, Draco transported to the Ministry with the floo powder. After drinking the polyjuice potion, Draco now walked in the place as Lucius, still hiding in his robe he looked around the place, to find Fudge waiting for him secretly at the place.

"What's taking him so long." Fudge mumbled as he suddenly felt a tap on his shoulder, "What is it?" he asked getting annoyed.

"Sorry to make you wait so long." Draco said peeking out of the robe.

"Wait are you..."

"Don't ask." Draco said, "Shall we get going?"

Fudge didn't speak for a while but soon shook his head, "Let's go, but you need to wear this--" Fudge said passing a cloak to Draco.

"Invisibility cloak?" Draco asked as Fudge nodded.

"I can let you come with me, but people will ask me a lot of question if I was to go with another person, so wear it going over to that corner so people wouldn't notice you." Fudge said, "After that just follow me and don't get left behind, if you do... don't blame me."

Draco nodded and went over to the corner Fudge pointed at, the place was discreet and was clearly unnoticeable, quickly using the place Draco wore the cloak and went towards Fudge.

"I am ready." He whispered as Fudge nodded and both of them started walking towards the main official building. Going from one passageway to another, Draco noticed that the security wasn't tight at all and due to Fudge being present no one really cared much about anything. Draco rolled his eyes seeing the carelessness of these wizards as he snooped past by them.

After walking for a while they reached a huge door which was closed, the place was guarded by two huge stone statue and from what Draco knew of the wizarding world, these statues were sentient none the less. Fudge gave one of the stone statue standing near the gate a paper, which like Draco suspected moved and took the paper, after it took it, the statue burned the paper and reached its hand out again.

"Sigh! I knew it." Fudge mumbled as he took out another piece of paper and gave it to the stone guard, who after taking it burned it, in a similar fashion and stood back up again like before. The huge door slowly opened as Fudge started walking inside it, following him Draco went inside the room as well as the door closed back again.

"You can remove the cloak now." Fudge said turning back. Doing as he said, Draco took off the cloak as it was getting uncomfortable bending over to fit the cloak as he was the same stature as Lucius right now and Fudge had prepared the cloak to fit his regular built.

"Now since we are already here, mind telling me the reason."

"Already here?" Draco snorted.

Fudge didn't say anything and pointed at the vase in the middle of the room, "This place his highly secured, you know. Even I can't come and go, without any valid reason and without telling my identity to those stone guards. And believe me, we are very close to Azkaban."

"The papers..."

"Yes, the stone recognized you, even though you were hiding under the cloak but don't worry, the stone's don't speak."

"Wait does that mean, you had a document prepared on me to go visit Azkaban."

"Yes." Fudge said, "Again, I had to as you could see and since I have my life in line... I wouldn't be careless about this, so you don't need to worry. I put mine under investigation and yours under visitation since your aunt is in there and you have a valid reason to visit. Now can you tell me about why you want to visit that god-forbidden place?"

(I searched and there wasn't any mention on how people reached Azkaban quickly, so I came up with my own... so don't get confused on that.)

Draco was still trying to get his head around this room as he sighed, "I want to research on dementors."

"But you can do it elsewhere can't you?" Fudge said, "It's not like they are that rare."

"They aren't but seeing them in their natural habitat is rare isn't it?" Draco said, "Especially when they are feeding, that sight is a rare one indeed."
