In this chapter, you get to find out what Lucius Malfoy is doing at Hogwarts. But is everything as it seems? There are lies afoot, and perhaps some heart-breaks as well.

Young Bellatrix thinks she is no longer so young, and pays her lovely Tom a visit. In this chapter- disappointment, and a life-long grudge is cemented.
