A New Time Has Come [Draco]

[Jakatra Lenox (HM)]

The sun was just rising on the horizon when she had arrived. The Minister of Magic had been no where to be found. "Must be on his way now." She spoke to herself as she looked around. The room was wide, that looked small because of the large windows that overlooked the land of the Wizarding World. Jakatra sighed as her silver eyes scanned the room. The desk was beautifully stained from that of maghongy. She wandered over to it and gazed at the pictures that were placed on the desk. She looked at one that seemed to be a family portrait, but there was something missing..a mother. Jakatra continued to look. Another was a picture of two couples, holding hands, all dressed in formal clothes. It had been a picture of a wedding party. She continue to look as there were indiviual pictures of smiling children, and yet there was one that caught her eye. It was a picture of a woman with a smile so sweet. She had such beautiful dark eyes, and fine dark red lips. Her lavish black hair flowed over her shoulders like a river would flow over rocks. She picked the picture up and studied it; knowing she had known this person some time ago. She continued to gaze at the picture, not aware if anyone was around.

Draco was running a little bit later this morning than he had anytime before. But he had reason to be. He had spent a good part of the night working on a few papers and speeches he had to make throughout the week. He preferred to be ahead than fall behind at any given moment. That was perhaps why he was decent in the office as Minister. But when he fell behind, he seemed to get a certain temper. And that temper was his drive to finish what needed to be finished as quickly as possible. So when he had arrived to his floor and was greeting a few as he passed by, it seemed it would be an ordinary day at the office as ever. So reaching his office door, he pulled it open and walked inside prepared to go over what he had done the previous night to see if he wanted to change anything. But instead somebody in his office caught him slightly off guard. He hadn’t any appointments for the day. The day had been booked as busy just in case he did need to do more of his work at the office.

But it was the Headmistress of Hogwarts. Someone he hadn’t been expecting in his office. And holding the picture of Nelle. He gulped slightly at the thought of Nelle. A second later he opened his mouth. “Ah. Headmistress Lenox.” He started as he walked forward into his office and placed his case where his papers were in on his large mahogany desk. “What can I do for you today?” He asked now looking at her from across his desk. It must be important if she had come unannounced. Maybe there would be a few answers that she had that he would need. It was somewhat of a secret of what was going on. It had to be, until hard evidence was found of what was causing the things that were happening, to happen. At that though he swept over the pictures that his desk hosted.

Jakatra knew she didn't make an appointment to see the Minister Of Magic, only because it would have taken months to see him since he had appointment after appointment, and since she was the Head of his children's school, she knew she had reign over any appointment that may have been scheduled that day. She continued to walk around his office, knowing you had to be a VIP to be in his office. She had wandered towards the window and gazed down at the town below. How the sun began peeking through and shone it's bright light into the room. She wandered to his desk and looked at the pictures that stood before her. She had a picture of her mother; Syria who had died twenty-six years ago. She had a picture of her twin brother who was up and about in the world somewhere with animals. She looked at a picture of Nelle, who smiled sweetly up at her. Jakatra smiled back. She wandered what it was like to have someone to love, someone to care about, who felt the same for her. She had met Nelle a long time ago. She remembered her being a shy, but out spoken girl who had a good heart, and a great sense of determination. She knew she had passed about ten years ago, and yet her husband still had the love for her.

She didn't hear the door open and someone was standing there. She looked up from the picture of Nelle to the Minister who stood before her. "Minister." She said as she bowed respectfully towards him. It was custom for her people to bow to who were considered higher to her. "I needed to talk to you about something." She said as she set the picture of Nelle gently back down on the desk. "I wanted to ask you if the rumors were true. There had been disappearences going around, and please tell me the truth." She said as she sat down in the chair across from him. "And don't give me that crap of how someone is ranting their mouths, wanting attention." She spoke sternly which meant business.

Standing behind his desk Draco looked onto his Children’s Headmistress. He wondered if the meeting was about something his children had done. His highest suspicions were on Scorpius and Alexander. The two always seemed to get into trouble. Then there was a slight worry that one of his daughters were hurt. He looked at Jakatra expectantly, waiting to hear what her reason was to be in his office so early. And yet without appointment. He lowered himself into his tall black leather seat. He had always been a fan of Black leather. “Naturally.” He spoke as he pulled himself closer to his desk. Placing his hands intertwined together on the sleek wood in front of him.

Sighing at what she asked Draco pushed back from his desk slightly. Make himself a bit more comfortable as he had this conversation. “Before I give you any information Headmistress. I must ask you not to repeat what I have told you.” He said in a business like tone. “We are taking necessary measures to make sure the majority are being taken care of. But like always. The ministry cannot protect every single person as we’d like.” He said as he looked across at him. His eyes never leaving the headmistress. “That answers your question then. They are not lies yet they are still rumors.” He said with a sigh. Part of him told him that it would be best to let the wizarding world know. But it had always been a dream for any government to take the problem out themselves before bringing the people in on it. In some cases, it was too late. In his, He hoped he and his advisors were on the right track. After all. No matter what his history was with them. He had to admit the Weasley’s and Potter would and have been his best choice in office.

Jakarta couldn't help but admire and envy Mr. Malfoy for having such a divine family. All of them had smiles or what was close to smiles. Jakarta really didn't have much of a family. Her father to her remained a mystery and her mother had died during the last battle with Lord Voldemort. She didn't have many pictures of her mother, nor even a single picture of her father. She sighed. "You have such a beautiful family Minister. I envy you." She said with a smile on her face as she wandered over towards his desk, her long dress scrapping across the floor. She walked over to the chair that was on the left and took a seat, making herself comfortable.

She listened to the Minister very carefully. "I fully understand, whatever is said here will be confidental." She said, understanding how much the wizards will go into chaotic. "So it is true." She said, knowing that she had heard about the dark ages by her mother, when she had finally found her. "Well thank you for being honest with me and not telling me something else." She said in a soft voice. Her eyes lingered onto the photo of Nelle. "I'm sorry to hear about your wife. She must have been a great person." She said with sincerity. She had known Nelle, but never really got to sit down with her and have a conversation with her.
