On the morning Tom arrived at Rosier Manor, Druella woke up with a plan. At first, she wanted to find the manor's ward stone and mess with it so she could leave. That plan was immediately thrown away as she had no idea how wards are made and how to change them.

The plan for the day is to somehow get her parent's wands and make them let her go. She can't risk spilling any of Tom's secrets. Not when she just started gaining more of his trust. If she were to spill her friend's secrets, Tom would never trust her again. Of course, he wouldn't blame her as she had no control over it, but he wouldn't tell her any more secrets that's for sure.

As she woke up bright and early, she hoped that her parents were still asleep. Druella grabbed her wand and made her way to the door, but before she could leave, a house-elf appeared in front of her. Out of sheer reaction, she pointed her wand at the elf and fired a spell.

"Stupefy!" Druella calls as she tries to create some distance between her and the elf.

Poor mimsy, who was just coming to get her master's friend, was hit by the stunner and fell over frozen in place on the floor. Before she was hit, Mimsy tried to reach for the red paper given to her for emergencies, but she wasn't fast enough and succumbed to the spell.

Druella left the elf in the room and swiftly started searching for her parents. She didn't notice that Mimsy wasn't one of the elves that normally works in the manor. Nor did she notice that Mimsy was dressed in finer clothing than those elves as well. Her mind was pointed in one direction and that was getting out of this house before the next day arrives.

While Druella was on the warpath, Tom was being briefed on everything Briar knows about this situation. Apparently, the other Slytherin parents are suspicious as well, so they all had a sort of meeting and agreed to wait for the information from the Rosiers. They would never subject one of their children to Veritaserum, so they let the Rosiers use it on their wayward daughter. Some of the more ruthless parents tried to use Legilimency on their children as the Rosiers did to Druella, but were blocked all the same.

The Princes, who are known to produce good potion masters, volunteered to make the Truth Serum themselves. Of course, a potion of that caliber would take time and they didn't have any stored away at the moment.

'I guess Snape had potion making in his blood. If only he had teaching somewhere in there as well.' Tom thought when he heard this.

Lord Prince is supposed to be delivering the potion tomorrow and will be sitting in on Druellas questioning. Lords Rosier and Prince will then attend a meeting with some Slytherin Alumni and tell them what they heard. The large majority of these Slytherin Alumni are the parents of the current Slytherin children.

'I can work with this.' Tom thought as Briar finished explaining. "Good work, Briar. Leaving you as head of the council wasn't a bad idea. It's too bad that you've already graduated."

"Thank you, My Lord." Briar says with a happy smile.

Briar won't be returning to Hogwarts next year as he just graduated. He won't have many chances to impress his Lord, so the fact that he can be of help now is good. His standing will rise and he won't have to worry about falling behind the other Slytherins.

"Where the hell are Druella and Mimsy?" Tom said as he started growing impatient.

"Maybe, Druella is with our parents and Mimsy is waiting until they separate?" Briar says as he peeks over at the clock on his wall. "She has only been gone for about ten minutes."

"That's wishful thinking, Briar." Tom says as he starts thinking. "Something is wrong."

"Are you sure? Maybe we should wait a couple more minutes?"Briar says as he starts to worry a bit as well.

"No, Mimsy is taking too long, which means that something unforeseen has happened." Tom says as he checks the paper linked to Mimsy's emergency paper. Nothing is wrong with it. No tears or rips and not even a crinkle. "F*ck it. We're going to have to do this without them. Follow me."

Tom would open a portal to the mirror dimension to survey the area but the wards would pick up on that. He could also use his astral projection but his spiritual body wouldn't have the paper which is currently on his chest that hides him from the wards. The only thing cloaking him and Mimsy from the wards right now are those papers. Without them, they would be discovered immediately.

Tom and Briar leave the room stealthily and start searching for Lord and Lady Rosier. Without Mimsy's help, Tom has no idea if he'll run into any of the Rosier elves. He does know from Mimsy earlier report that Lord and Lady Rosier were in the living room, but that information is a bit dated.

While Tom and Briar were still talking in her brother's room, Druella has found her parents eating breakfast in the dining room. She saunters in and takes her place at the table without gracing her birth givers with a single word. She has to wait for the best moment to strike and now wasn't it. If she were to hide and stalk them around the place, they may discover her or an elf may report what's going on. The best course of action is to act normal and wait for the moment to strike.

The elves bring her breakfast and she starts eating without acknowledging her parent's existence. This seems to anger her parents as they are starting to get fed up with their daughters attitude. Their status has taken a big drop due to her actions, yet she has the nerve to act this way. They just wished that she would renounce that mudblood friend of hers and make everything right, but that is a very doubtful situation.

"Druella, would you stop acting like this already. Just tell us what is happening at that school and we won't have to go through with using the truth potion. We don't want to use it either, but you have to see reason before it's too late." Druellas mother, Lady Francesca Rosier says as she hopes her daughter would go back to the way she was before she met that muggleborn.

Druella simply ignores her mother and continues eating her breakfast. When her daughter doesn't reply to her, she starts to frown and sighs openly.

"There's no point dear." Lord Orlando Rosier says as he finishes his food. "I'm afraid our daughter isn't who we once knew her to be." He says as he gets up to leave the room.

'This is my chance!' Druella thought as her father leaves the dining room. 'With my father gone, I can deal with my mother first.'

As her father leaves the room, Druella puts her head down and pretends to be affected by his words. She turns on the waterworks and starts openly sobbing. The second her mother sees Druella like this, she is stunned for a moment but gets up and tries to console her daughter. Lady Rosier takes her daughter into her arms and tries her best to calm her down.

"It's alright sweetheart. Just tell us what's happening at school and everything will be okay. We're worried about you, you know? What if something horrible is happening there and we don't know anything about it? How are we supposed to help if we don't know what's happening?" She says as she holds her sobbing daughter in her embrace.

"B-b-but..." Druella stutters as she pulls away from her mother.

"But what, sweetie?" Lady Rosier asks as she separates from her daughter.

"But I'm not telling you anything." Druella says as she grasps her mother's wand in her left hand.

"What?!" Lady Rosier exclaims as Druella draws her wand and aims it at her.

"Stupefy!" Druella calls out and her mother drops to the ground like a sack of bricks.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?" Lord Rosier shouts as he entered the dining hall to grab his smoking pipe that he left behind.
