Summary
Auror Greg Lestrade is tasked by Harry Potter to investigate an anonymous tip that Potions Master Draco Malfoy is performing dark magic at Hogwarts.
When he arrives at the castle, he is confronted by former colleague Neville Longbottom, who is now Herbology professor. Neville insists on proving that Draco is innocent, and he isn't the only one meddling in Greg's investigation.
Mycroft Holmes, who occupies a 'minor position' in the Ministry of Magic, knows more than he he's letting on about what’s lurking at Hogwarts and in what way it threatens everything he cares about.
