Imperiused her, then I believe it. And it's got to be Malfoy. He was threatening her at their
engagement party minutes before her sister was tortured on the floor!"
James gaped. "What? When the hell did that happen?!"
"Shit." Sirius had not meant to tell anyone. "Look, it's... family stuff, okay." He
looked away from his friends, his temper rising as he felt pity pouring off of them.
"My cousin, Andromeda, married a Muggle-born and popped a kid out, causing a
fuss amongst the older folks." He grimaced, muttering "ignorant arseholes" under his
breath. "That's not the point. I heard Malfoy tell Cissa to straighten out her priorities or
he'd do it for her. Then he told her she could only end their engagement by dying."
"Aurors were called in," Peter spoke up. "Malfoy was at breakfast this morning
when they came. He wasn't arrested, though."
"Your cousin was sitting with him," James said apologetically. "If he really did that
to her, then he just got away with it, and Narcissa doesn't look like she's going to be
accusing him of anything."
"Why'd Mia think it was Lucius?" Sirius asked. "It's obvious to me, but I'm curious."
Remus scratched the side of his head. "I'm not sure exactly. She just said that Lucius
Malfoy was a monster who wouldn't think twice about turning his own wife into a puppet.
Then she.. ." He looked down and sighed. "She said that he deserved what he got. I don't
know what that means."
Sirius frowned, but then nodded slowly. "Probably the prank. She charmed their
common room door, locked all the Slytherins outside of it. That's probably it. Oh, that
reminds me, Mia mentioned the word 'map' during that prank, and it got me thinking."
