In A Fight With The World

"But, what if we somehow got the Muggle minister mixed up in this," Lyssa said, an idea coming to her. "Have him vouch and say that it was unlawful because I was only 17. The our ministry would have no choice but to acquit it, to avoid a muggleborn and such uproaring. It could work Cass."

Cassie sighed. "Lyssa, it's an idea, but it won't work. a) How are we meant to even get NEAR the minister? b) You are now old enough to be legally trialed, so they'll just trial you again and stick you back there. and c) why the fuck is there never a c?"

Lyssa closed her eyes and ran her hand through her hair, splaying it out on the floor above her head. "Fuck, Cass," she said, "can't you let me keep the little hope I have left?"

Cassie sighed. "Sorry, but I'm just trying to be logical."

"I don't bloody want logical. I need you to be that crazy, rebellious person you've always been. To help me find a way to MAKE this work."

Cassie put her head in her hands. "I don't know," She said with a sigh.

"We should go," Lyssa said, seemingly suddenly. "Before they stab a guess at where we are."

"I guess," Cassie said standing up. "Bye Mum, seeya Liz. I love you guys." She hugged her mother and sister.

Lyssa got up as well, from her place on the floor, nodding to Sam and Lizzie before heading to the back door with Cassie, as the front led to the street and that had potential to be bad.

The two headed outside. "Now what?" Cassie asked as they stood on the back porch.

"For now....we just don't get caught," Lyssa said, sighing. "And we need to get some way to get things like food and showers, because those are essential. But, actually, first, I think I want to go see Draco, because he's probably out of his mind with worry right now."

"Um, okay," Cassie said with a slight nod. Thinking about how many ways that could go wrong. "Okay."

"What, you're not gonna fight me on it?"

"Well if we hadn't just visited mine, I would want to see my family too, so," Cassie shrugged. "I do think it's a stupid idea though."

"Well, I know it's probably stupid, but like you just said, you saw your family it's only right that I can as well."

"So, how are we getting there?" Cassie asked her.

"Hell if I know..." Lyssa said with a shrug. "Suppose we could apparate, but I think that requires having a wand...or something...I don't know."

"Well I have mine, I grabbed it before the ministry people came."

"Guess I'm side-along-ing then?"

"Suppose so,"

"Let's go then, before something bad happens, because something bad always happens."

Cassie nodded, and two apperated to outside Malfoy Manor.

Lyssa looked up at the Manor suddenly nervous and wanting to turn back around, but she had to ease Draco's mind first. She strolled through the magical wards that were in place like she had never left the place, heading to the door without a second thought.

Cassie followed behind Lyssa, watching Malfoy Manor wearily. She had no enjoyed herself the last time she had been there, not by a long shot. She gave the place a glare, as if it was the Manors fault about what had happened.

Lyssa waltzed her way right up the steps, knowing where Draco would be. It was twin intuition after all. Just as she went to open the door, it opened on its own to reveal Lucius. Thing gone wrong number one.
