After [Apparating] to the front of the [Malfoy Mansion], Snape and [Yaxley] speak briefly of good news, then silently walk across the grounds, through the front door, and into the drawing room.

Voldemort greets Snape and [Yaxley], and along with the other Death Eaters, begins discussing the Order of the Phoenix's plans to move Harry Potter, and the fact that [Pius Thicknesse] has been [Imperiused]; all the while, an unidentified woman hangs silently in the air over the table.

Voldemort's meeting is briefly disturbed by a wailing coming from underneath the floor, and he sends Wormtail to investigate.

Continuing his meeting, Voldemort demands Lucius Malfoy's wand, and goads the [Malfoys] over their attitudes, and Bellatrix Lestrange over her family. Bellatrix promises, then, to do her best to kill Tonks, at Voldemort's request.

Voldemort casts his attention - and that of his Death Eaters - toward the woman hanging above the table, [Charity Burbage]. She spots Snape and pleads for her life, but Voldemort kills her and feeds her to Nagini.

Harry Potter, alone in his bedroom, sets to cleaning out his school [trunk], cutting his hand in the process. He then piles the things he won't need in the corner, and packs the important items in a rucksack.

Harry finds a [Daily Prophet] with an obituary of [Albus Dumbledore], written by [Elphias Doge]. It tells the story of Albus's successes at school, his rocky relationship with Aberforth, and his weathering his parents' deaths and returning home after school to care for his sister, [Ariana]. Harry wonders, then, about all the things that Dumbledore had never told him

A more recent [Daily Prophet] has another article that catches Harry's eye, and he reads it; it is an article about a biography Rita Skeeter is writing on [Dumbledore]. She denounces [Elphias Doge], of course, and hints at dark, dirty secrets that are to be revealed in the biography. She also insists that she has a "close" relationship with Harry, a lie that infuriates him.
