Year 2: Chapter 22
The room was dark and the man lit the fire in the hearth. The large leather seats cast eerie shadows around the room. The door opened and two others entered. Bootés nodded at the two men as they entered into his study.
"Please take a seat."
Simon took the seat on the furthest left and turned it in slightly to face the others. Alistair took the middle one while Bootés took the third seat and turned it to face in as well.
"Okay so Alistair why did you want to see us?"
"Did you not see the same thing that I did earlier then Bootés?"
"Bootés I think what he means is the way our children reacted towards each other."
"That is it indeed Simon. I have spoken to my sister and have learnt that Amanda and Sirius have fallen out over a prank that he pulled on her something about green hair. They have divided their group into two smaller ones which means that now is the best time to start planning on breaking them up."
"So you mean that Sirius and Peter aren't speaking to the others, well that works to our advantage."
"No sorry that isn't quite it Bootés, Peter and Sirius are still hanging around with that Potter boy and the half blood Lupin. But that means it's easier to get to them. Amanda however is only speaking to that Dunn girl, the muggle born Evans, Ddraig and Scott."
"So Alistair what are we going to do?"
"The same thing we planned earlier if we could only separate Peter and Sirius it will be easier on you. I will take care of Amanda."
"You'll kill her then?"
"Kill her! Not yet, I'll terrify her, scare her so much that she will do what I tell her when I tell her. If that doesn't work I'll force her into our way of thinking my fists should convince her."
"You'll beat her?"
"Yes do you have a problem with that?"
Bootés bit his tongue looking deeply into the fire.
"What about if that doesn't work?"
The three men sat in silence for a moment. Simon looked thoughtful and then finally came up with the answer.
"We can use the Imperius curse we'll make her do what we want and if that doesn't work then you'll be able to kill her knowing you've done everything you could."
The man nodded
"Right we'll use that curse and then if we are unable to get to Peter or Sirius we can use that as well, get ourselves three new recruits that will do everything we tell them."
The fire flickered and a cold breeze swept through the room. The fire turned to a chilling green and a dark figure stepped out.
"Oh good you're here."
The man took off his cloak and signalled for Alistair to move. He stood up and took the cloak from the man. His two friends watched as the new comer took the seat and Dixon brought himself up another.
"Your children have they been sorted yet?"
"Yes Tom everything is sorted out."
"What about new recruits and the Ministry?"
Simon answered this one.
"We have the Ministry completely in our control Tom I've sorted out the ones that will do anything to gain power and we're gaining their support"
The four men spent the night sitting in that study and it was here that they arrived at their plan, a plan that would change the life of most of the people in the wizarding world.
