Draco had thought of this idea, yesterday night as this will help solidify his reputation of being one of the savior in peoples mind resetting and increasing his fame among common people both muggle born and half-bloods alike and as for the pure-bloods, other than the ones here in the meeting, a lot of them were already supporters of him. The other reason he wanted to do this was to taunt none other than his dear other-half, Ryan Adams. Since reading yesterday's letter he had concluded that this person had one thing that drove him,--Jealousy.

The whole letter to him was sent to express Ryan's envy towards him and to taunt him, Draco wasn't too happy about the idea of being under someone's control and being under the constant fear that his moves were predicted beforehand, he didn't like the thought of being afraid against someone he hadn't even met before, so he had now started his own game against him. Since it was a new enemy he needed a new game to play against him, and Draco wasn't willing to lose.

Fudge sat there for a while silent thinking of god knows what. After a moment of silence, he sighed and said, "I can make sure the news is reported in the exact same way you wanted too but what about the other problems? I am not sure all the people would be so easily fooled."

"What problems?" Theodore asked laying back. "As far as I know, I am the victim and Draco here is the savior and Pius is the dark lord if a baby Potter could gain fame with just this even without actually moving a finger then what's the problem."

Draco nodded, "There will always be people who wouldn't believe in the news even if they are told the truth, how many of you here would believe that I defeated Pius and 40+ wizards, which among them contained some trained Aurors by myself."

Draco knew that Fudge wanted to run away from the responsibility but Draco wouldn't let him. The wizards in the room remained silent as they will never likely believe what happened if they didn't saw the blast and the dead bodies themselves. Fudge deeply breathed a couple of time and finally gave up, "I can fulfill these demands but that's all I can do for now." He deliberately said, so Draco would stop asking more.

"That's all we need for now." Lucius said, "Our informants and people who work under us can help with all these as well, so you don't have to worry too much about it."

"By the way, I've been meaning to ask this, when did you guys figure out about Pius's betrayal and his location?" Draco asked interestedly.

"He attacked one of the aurors as he escaped leaving a letter as to where he was heading." Fudge said.

"And you believed him?"

"He chanted the location before disappearing so what was written on the letter was confirmed and due to the content of letter suggesting that his target was you, we immediately rushed into action as news about your disappearance was circulating around as well." Fudge explained trying to sound responsible.


'Looks like someone is fame hungry' Draco thought to himself.

"I want to ask you one last question."

"What is it?"

"The potion-- how much were you injured?-- and how much did that potion heal you?" Fudge asked with greed in his eyes, the potion changed the whole feature of Draco and its healing factor seemed to be astounding, considering the heated battle that took place. Fudge wanted to see if he could mass produce this potion and sell it as they could cause a lot of benefit to them, especially to aurors who work difficult jobs.

Understanding Fudge, Draco shook his head, "The potion fixed the scars I got and was able to fix a few broken bones... that's all."

"But what about your face?"

"My face? Is something wrong with it?" Draco asked with an annoyed tone, the way Fudge said it made it seem as if he had a problem with his face before.

"No, that's not what I mea--" Fudge wanted to clear up the misunderstanding but Draco didn't let him as he stood up.

"Greed isn't a good thing." Draco said, "The Vampires have done us a favor this time not bothering too much with the broken law that was set. Unless you want to go in a war with the vampires I suggest you get that idea out of your head. Both sides have their own magic and potions, they haven't asked any of ours so we don't have the right to ask theirs-- so I hope you can remove the idea out of your head."

Fudge stayed silent as one by one, all the wizards stood up and started walking out.

"What do we do, Minister?" An Auror asked after all the people had left the room.

"Nothing." Fudge shook his head, "Start leaking the information to the news sources as explained."

The man nodded and apparated out of the place.

"Sigh! Let's leave, I have work to do." Fudge said to the other aurors as they went out of the room as well.

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

"Where are we going?" Lucius asked as they were walking inside an old dirty bazaar, this place seemed more like a black market as dark-items were being sold all over the place, but unlike back in London, this place sold these items openly.

"There is a market, down there where they sell elves who are trained to take care of magical creatures." Draco said, "I want to buy some."

Draco didn't want Lucius to come with him since he knew all he was going to do was complain but Lucius didn't let him go alone. This time he didn't stop him but came along with him, which still annoyed Draco but he didn't say anything since changes took time.

Lucius looked weirdly at Draco, he wasn't happy about his son taking care of these animals like a farm boy, but due to all that has happened he decided to work on his attitude to make sure mistakes like this weren't repeated again, so he didn't object Draco from raising them and from what it seemed like with the animals such as Unicorns in his case, it could come very handy in the time of need. Lucius was secretly very impressed as to how Draco managed to escape that day in Gringotts.

"Father do you know how to cast the Fidelius Charm?" Draco asked casually as they were walking past by a small herb store.

"Why do you ask?"

Draco didn't say anything and looked back at Lucius wanting to know the answer.

"Sigh! I don't." Lucius said giving up, "Now can you tell me why?"

"If you were to try and learn it, how long do you think it will take?" Draco asked again instead of answering the question, "Just focusing on the charm and nothing else."

"6 to 7 months, give or take."

"Can you start learning it from now on?"

"Not if you don't tell me why first?" Lucius said,

Draco sighed, "Dangers!-- I don't know what's going to happen next-- I don't think Pius was alone in doing all this, I fought him so I know his strength and I am not sure how he was able to defeat different Aurors and put them all under the Imperius curse all alone." Draco lied.

Lucius was silent for a while, "So you think someone is behind him?" He asked and seeing Draco nod he continued, "So you want me to put the charm on our house and live under hiding?"

"Yes." Draco said, "If it was like before we could have not paid much attention to it and leave it to the ministry but now with the twins, I am more afraid."

Lucius looked at Draco whose voice was wavering, as far as he could recall, he never heard Draco say those words before.

"I understand."
